Carnival of German-American Relations

The Carnival of German-American Relations takes place quarterly. Each carnival is hosted by two blogs from both sides of the Atlantic. One in English and one in German.

The goal is to promote dialogue between Americans and Germans and everybody else who cares about transatlantic relations. Liberal, conservative and other bloggers from both sides of the Atlantic are invited to discuss German-American relations by submitting their best blog posts in English or in German. You don't have to mince words. You may submit very critical posts, but they have to be well argued and written respectfully.
If you don't have a blog, you can create one in three minutes at Blogger or write a long and well argued comment here.

Check out the submissions in the right column. => => =>

If you have any problem, question or concern, please just write a comment or send an email to Jorg.

The hosts of the upcoming carnival will pick the best submissions and introduce them in their blogs on July 2nd, 2006. You have to link to that carnival post.

I hereby submit my article: Masters of Deception: Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, and the 9-11 Conspiracy Industry http://www.orgonelab.org/MastersOfDeception.htm Being new to blogging, I cannot understand your instructions sufficiently to follow-up. But David's Medienkritic did say "long and well-argued comments" could be posted. I am simply afraid, my article (which is still very relevant) is too long to insert into this comment block. After taking a look at the provided URL, if you feel it is not too long, then let me know and I'll submit it here again.

Thanks, James. It is not too long. In-depth articles are good. I know that all this trackback stuff is new to many people. I am trying to improve the instructions. Please let me know if this is a better instruction:

Put a link to this website at the end of your piece, something small and unobtrusive is sufficient, like Submitted to Carnival of German-American Relations The link is just necessary to prevent this site from getting so-called "trackback spam." We have been flooded by trackbacks from all kinds of advertisers. That's why our software only admits trackbacks from sites that link to this page. Sorry.

Now go to Wizbang Standalone Trackback Pinger Now do the following on that page:
1.In the first line you enter: http://america-germany.atlanticreview.org/comment.php?type=trackback&entry_id=11
2. In the second line you enter the _URL of your post, i.e.: http://www.orgonelab.org/MastersOfDeception.htm
3. Now enter the name of your blog. You can enter whatever you want: Your name or Orgonelab.
4. The Title of you piece, i.e. "Master of Deception"
5. In the fifth and last line you enter an excerpt of your piece, i.e. the first 2-3 sentences.
6. Just press "Submit Trackback." Now the trackback should appear immediately in the right column on this website and everybody can click on the link to your piece and read it.

Please let me know if it does not work or if you have any question.

Bloggers, if your software sends trackbacks, you don't have to follow this procedure.
