Olympic Ceremonies Impress with Images of Dark Flying Characters and Mass Hospitalization Scenes

July 28, 2012 - PRLog -- The ceremonies brought  back memories of WW2, hunger, Nazi occupation, concentration camps, and survival struggles, says Bohdan O. Szuprowicz, a Florida author, who is at this moment  syndicating his perennial column "A September to Remember" to editors worldwide.

Many of the scenes of the OIympic Opening Ceremony were unexpected because they have little to do with sports and not much with entertainment. Somehow the overall impression they produce is not of a promising future. Rather they bring to mind the "End of Days" warnings voiced by prophets for centuries. Have you got your 2012 shelter yet ?

In a way this particular approach to Olympic Games brings to mind a need to reflect on the whole idea and 21st Century  Research is planning to prepare an assessment of reactions to London 2012 Celebrations gathered from all over the world after the games conclude. This is in keeping with other comparative research projects that we already have under way.

Editors of newspapers and magazines worldwide who would like to publish some of these surveys on a ssyndicated basis should contact 21st Century Research by E-mail at: maska5@comcast.net.

Bohdan O. Szuprowicz, President of 21st Century Research, became a true “child of war” when the Germans bombed the military bases of his native Grodno on the first day of WW2. The family evacuated with military convoys that were strafed by German aircraft and harassed by pro-Soviet terrorists until they reached the relative safety of Romania. Overcrowded hospitals, fires, and ruins were a daily diet to wartime refugees.

During his formative years Bohdan grew up on the beaches of Cote d’Azur in Vichy France. He gained notoriety at that time as an unruly child who tore down Hitlerite posters promoting collaboration. When the Germans occupied the entire country after allied invasion of North Africa, the family escaped across the Pyrenees into Spain, where they were arrested and interrogated by Franco’s pro-Nazi security services. Eventually they reached Lisbon and boarded a Boeing Clipper for a night flight across the German-controlled Bay of Biscay to Ireland. After a brief internment in England as foreign aliens the family was able to rejoin the father already serving in allied forces in the UK.
     
At present Szuprowicz lives in Florida and is exploring the use of digital communications to promote and market books and short stories. An author of today can become the writer, agent, publisher and promoter of his work without using outside services except for independent editorial assessment of his work. He is planning a special guide along those lines "Author, Agent, Publisher, Promoter" which will be published on Amazon Kindle in the future.

Amazon Kindle Publications

Bohdan O. Szuprowicz, as author,  is already testing the applicability of Amazon Kindle publishing with several E-Stories including "The Sweet Taste of Revenge", "A Cold War Love Affair", "How They Stopped Hitler's Nuclear Weapons Program", and "A Sawgrass Vendetta". A "Global Obama Cartoons Stalker"  is the next E-Directory in preparation to handle the political satire involved in the current electioneering era.

Nuclear Terror Geopolitics Research

21st Century  Research has also started a program to evaluate developing nuclear terror threats from non-government organizations(NGO's). who may want to resort to political blackmail using  nuclear weapons and devices. This is perceived as the greatest threat of the future for which most developed countries are not prepared. Several fiction and non-fiction projects are under way designed to bring attention to and underscore this critical vision of the future.
