NATO = NAZI

NATO logo became swastika at the conference

Text

During the coference, NATO insignia mysteriously turned into swastika symbol.

General Drago Lovric, Croatian diplomat with NATO, could not foresee the accident that happened during the conference titled “Responsibility and action: building a safer world”, in which he participated as a speaker. Two panels, which were placed behind his back, contained his photograph and presentation.

While greeting guests at the conference, something strange started happening behind his back. Official NATO logo, which was the background, began changing its shape into Nazi swastika.

that this happened - confirmed a spokesman for the MORH Goran Grošinić, adding that most conference guests did not understand what happened.

- There were around 300 guests in the hall, of which only ten foreign people, and only a small part of the audience realized what happened on the panel during those few seconds - Grošinić said.

He points out that the presentation logo was taken from the Internet and that it contained a timer. Namely, it is possible that a hacker infected the official NATO logo and set a time limit in which the logo should convert into swastika.

While creating a presentation, no one noticed a mistake in the logo. NATO sign remained the same prior to the conference.

Lovric notified the Minister of Defense, Chief of Staff and the Office of the President on the incident. Military police seized the memory stick containing the presentation and the video of the conference.

Employee Prank Gone Too Far 
While there's been no non-Croatian reaction in the press to this (that we can find), this is simply a very ill judged prank undertaken by whoever prepared the presentation. It's simple: find the fellow who built the presentation and inserted the layer imaged into the presentation (a GIF file?) and fire his sorry ass. Much like the judgement challenged employee who showed up at a recent government cabinet meeting with a t-shirt reading "I dont need sex, the government f--ks me every day", so too should this ministry dimwit be put out of work. No need to complicate things further. And, perhaps the presenter could comb through his presentation more cautiously before he embarasses Croatia on the international stage.
