Ukraine weekly SITREP by Baaz (and request for comments!!!)

Thank you for this SITREP Baaz. It is very useful.
I can speak for myself, but I hope that others share a similar view.

Given that I spend a considerable time analyzing current events, (what is happening these days is historically significant), I need the kind of catch phrase summaries that you provide to verify my information or complement what I missed during the week. Therefore your summary is useful because I can quickly assess the contents of the link, I do not have to spend much time to determine if the reference is worth reviewing, and I can quickly identify missing points.

For the time being I would keep the format as it is: one catch phrase followed by the link. At times, depending on the nature of the information, you may want to add one or two lines to summarize the contents.

This format is probably the most efficient for you as well, since your time is as precious as mine.

Good luck and tank you for your contribution. We are all “Truth Warriors”, united by a common goal.

Financial news directly related to the moment here, since it (supposedly ) relates to those Greek-Russ meetings in moscow last week:

Greek bond (prices) collapsing again, same downslope as late Jan/2015.

June 1, 2015 is a very important day for American civil liberties and the Constitution. On that day, Section 215 of the Patriot Act, one of the most egregious pieces of legislation passed in U.S. history, will expire automatically without reauthorization from Congress. Naturally, this is causing a panic attack within the heart of the NSA, FBI and all the authoritarian lackey legislators in Washington D.C….

April 17, 2015 Backed up against a rapidly approaching do-or-die deadline, bipartisan lawmakers are poised to introduce legislation next week that would roll back the National Security Agency’s expansive surveillance powers.

The legislation could land as soon as Tuesday in the House, congressional aides and privacy advocates said, who would only speak on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the negotiations.

Here’s another one:

This is the second significant ‘off-message’ signal coming from Poland.

I will give my 2 cents on presentation.

Presentation is important, consider that many
peoples monitors and browsers vary, many
like to sit back and read from 3 feet + from their
screen.

I have experience doing good presentations
of information and getting good positive feedback.

The main reason why I am commenting is the blue highlight
overpowers the presentation of line item points, you do not
need this.

Try this and see what people think, clean looking and easy to read.

LINE ONE
Bold the title and maybe make it slightly larger.
People save links, spread them around, good titles
are important, using a source that has a better title
would be beneficial.

LINE TWO
Space.

LINE THREE
The link, no bold, no blue highlighter, you do not need that,
the link can even be smaller script, it is very visible, keep it
visible to read source, etc, you do not need any form of
highlighting.

LINE FOUR
Space.

LINE FIVE
Maybe a quote, no bold, keep it regular smaller font from title.
More at source comment, use quotes to highlight important point.
Nobody is going to read all the articles in their entirety posted
in sit rep, this is not what most people do, highlight what you
want known. Why are people posting info ? Simple truth cuts
through the lies, highlight these truths in quotes.

NEXT ARTICLE
Leave two spaces, not one.

So you basically have it organized in small sections,
easy to read quickly and highlighted appropriately.

The above works great on a VB forum, maybe there
is some limitations here ?

You do not need to number it, this is a distraction, not necessary.

You can group info but I would go with the top news of the day
at top, number one story, and proceed down.

If something is well known I would omit it or put it at bottom.

Formatting in the above manner makes it easy to spread info.

Copy and paste.

Proper titles are important for people writing stories,
put some punch into the title, key info, etc,

RI just did something stupid, their old links now do not show
up, bad move, how do you think your site got off the ground
so fast, by having dead links ? People do not have time to
dig for your old links now, they look like buried stories.
I am pissed about this. Spreading these links about,
they are dead now. I am their sucker, seen lots of stories
memory holed, they memory holed their own links.
Never use yahoo, they do same fast. RI should address this.
Do you want just readers or do you want people to spread
knowledge ?
