"My appeal"
I'm in!
I'm not a regular reader of the weekly. I buy occasionally erstwhile my wife remembers and gives me money to buy, due to the fact that she likes to read horoscopes, and I besides look at what “People compose letters” there. erstwhile he doesn't remember, and I'm at the mall shopping, I find time to read these letters, but I don't buy newspapers due to the fact that it's besides costly for me. I decided to compose this short letter for 1 reason. Any quality of any letters is so shocking that you don't want to believe it's possible. Only one, entitled "My Appeal", signed by the ELA in the 27th issue raised my curiosity, and already in the first paragraph.
ELA wrote: “Now it seems that the failure to replace... a pimp”. The letter is great, congratulations to you and for the uncommon courage for the Editorial, that she played it – and I from myself will add that not only a pimp, but besides a junkie in front of millions of people. However, I am afraid that Mrs Eli's appeal to NGORA and another media may (although she does not have to) be a cry for water in the mediate of the Sahara. This weekly has not yet matured into specified an appeal, or has not come to the consciousness of many, that with the most polarized, not only in Europe but besides in the planet of our society, 1 can "not warm" the image of the President. They'll keep doing it with a maniac's stubbornness. Warm up! By giving the level to everyone, even the biggest writing to a slob. Do you know why? due to the fact that they look at all president here not from the point of view of man, his past, individual qualities or competences, but as the Office.
End of story. And if it happens someway that something unfavorable to the head of the state will be printed, it is only to provoke others who compose here to the polemic. I read letters sometimes, but it's been a long time. You've been writing recently. And great, due to the fact that your letters are truly interesting. I am in favour of your appeal, and I hope that the group of clergymen will shortly grow – if the weekly will allow. I greet you and want you interesting, lifelike, or possibly from your own environment of confrontational observations with the writings of “the company”. J.K.
A fewer reflections
When I saw the election results on October 15, I felt joy and happiness that the populists had succeeded in removing from power. present is dominated by disappointment, uncertainty, regret. I believe that putting the Nawrocki at the expense of Trzaskovsky is simply a failure of society and does not justify it or the mistakes of the second in the run (not including the large cities, hiding the rainbow flag in the debate in Konski or besides mediocre emphasis on women's rights), nor the slow pace of settlement of the united right. In a healthy country, the candidate's past – extortion, ties to Sutener and fascist groups – would consequence in a decline in support and would simply be disqualifying. All of this resembles a situation in the States where the nation re-elected formally convicted Donald Trump alternatively of Kamala Harris – a liberal and educated woman.
Unfortunately, specified a verdict with us means, at the latest in 2 years, the return of the Law and Justice to power in a coalition with the Confederate. For a long time I have had questions in my head that I can't answer: Will access to independent media looking at the government's hands be hard and how difficult? Will those with leftist and liberal views (to whom I belong and myself) be forced to stay silent to defend themselves and their loved ones? Are women completely deprived of the right to decide about themselves and their bodies? Are people who are not in a conservative framework on sex and sexual orientation in danger and how big?
If the answer to all this is positive, then in addition to fighting for their rights – this time much more hard – it remains to hope that the fresh rulers will not agree sooner or later – as just happened in the Netherlands and is slow happening in America. The hope is besides that Kaczyński 1 day, due to health, age and biology, will no longer be able to divide Poles and destruct Nadwiślański Castle.
Finally, a sad reflection: are we truly divided adequate to hatred the seven-year-old daughter of president Elek on the Internet? Can it not be as in my surroundings that we speak, without offending each other, and I can say what I think, without consequences and fear, and a nearly eighty-year-old associate of my immediate household has quite a few respect for my views, even though on many issues we are as different as possible?

I can't accept it...
I'm from the city. My city is Dęblin, 1 of the fastest depopulating cities in Poland according to the Central Statistical Office. There's nothing here that can halt the young. The Air Military Academy, which celebrates the 100th anniversary of its existence this year, is just a halt for young people who set out from here into the large planet to fulfill their dreams. There are older men who live here with their great-grandfather, and they're fine. And they make, unfortunately, in my town of PiSland. They are assisted by professional soldiers, their families and military pensioners, who constitute a crucial group of the oak community.
I can't realize it. It would seem that they are educated people who, thanks to their contacts, travel and have the chance to get to know the world, and they believe in the banalities that the Law and Justices push them. In all election the PiS wins here and, unfortunately, in the presidential election besides won the puppet Kaczyński. He received votes of Menzen and Braun. As I wrote, I don't realize these decisions. The first proposes paid education, and rape calls unpleasantness, the second constantly calls the name of God, and all word of it is simply a venom combined with the hatred of a neighbour who thinks differently. After all, he should, according to divine teaching, love everyone. I do not want president Nawrocki, I do not want him speaking on my behalf (we, people), whether in Poland or internationally. To me, this choice is simply a disgrace.
I can't accept that. Like a nation that declares membership to Christianity, it can choose a president with specified nasty transgressions as the Church can overlook the clear breaking of the Decalogue by this man and agitate the faithful to cast a vote for specified a candidate. I have children and grandchildren, I want a future for them in open Europe and the opportunities that all educated, reasoning people have. I do not want a wall, a periphery of Europe, a vassal of Russia and regret that Poland is divided in half. Unfortunately, this choice will emphasize these differences even more, and for the voters of Trzaskowski it will be another hard time. I resent the government and the coalition. erstwhile they won the election, they signed any commitments, they were to implement a joint program. But they wouldn't be themselves if they didn't effort to rip off a part of cake for themselves. There was no unity. They put up respective presidential candidates alternatively of all supporting the 1 who had the best chance. They preferred to kick him in the ankles in stupid debates alternatively than show their support and aid him win.
They have what they have now. I have small hope, but I hope that they will yet get along, make their promises, settle the thieves from the Law and Justices, get to work, and possibly they can marginalize the function of the "president's decision". I hope so, otherwise in 2 years we'll wake up again in PiSland, a country of haughty men, wisemen and manipulative men, where God is only on his lips, not in his behavior. Finally, I urge to you the beautiful and current poem by Julian Tuwim "To a simple man" or his musical version performed by the band. MALGA
After the election, before the election
Karol Nawrocki stated on 1 June, at the beginning of the election evening that he would win honesty. Therefore, after more than a year and a half, I one more time study the request to adjust the number of seats in the constituency to the Sejm. The current electoral ruling clearly violates Article 96 of the Polish Constitution that "the elections are...proportional...". This situation affected the result of the election on 15 October 2023, as it gave the PiS, and to a lesser degree KO, an extra advantage. In turn, the presidential elections established the existing organization duo while at the same time confirming the diversity of political preferences of citizens, especially in the first round. A fairer representation of their views in the Sejm is so desirable. The Constitution in Article 100 states that "Rules and Modes... of Elections are laid down in the Act", so by amending the Act, electoral law can reduce the disparity below.
There's no reason for an honest president to veto specified changes. I have an offer to consider the Sejm, the legislature and the Readers. I presume that in the next elections to the Sejm there will be the same constituency (41), and 7 are the smallest possible number of seats in the territory (today it is only the Częstochowa district); the percent thresholds of 5% or 8% for election committees and that Polish citizens abroad will inactive be able to vote for candidates in the capital district. erstwhile calculating the number of mandates in districts, the most accurate method would be the d’Hondt multiples method, utilized in elections to the European Parliament, i.e. the full of Poland seen as 1 large constituency. There is presently a immense difference in voter's vote – from 83,433 votes for each mandate in territory 19 (Warsaw), of which 1 3rd is votes from abroad; to just 36,020 votes in territory 7 (with Chełm). And a small clean statistics. The standard deviation of the average number of votes per territory from the national average in the election: in 2023 – 11.63%; 2019 – 10.48 percent; 2015 – 10.73 percent. After applying this method, it would be 4.69, 5.21, and 6.73 percent. Isn't that much more fair? In the 2023 elections, the d’Hondt method on a national scale would give the following number of seats in the Sejm (in brackets their current allocation): PiS – 169 (194); KO – 147 (157); Poland 2050 – 69 (65); Left – 41 (26); and Confederation – 34 (18).
The advantage of the coalition would so increase to 257, but groups outside the COPIS would have 35 more mandates. The mandates in a given territory would be allocated to electoral committees only after receiving information from the National Election Office on their number to be broken down in a given district. This number depends to the top degree – precisely! – on attendance. Greetings to Readers and Editorial Mr Baranski (
Va banque?!
Reading many post-election analyses in journals and weekly newspapers, I came across a previously unknown concept – astroturfing. Astro Turf is simply a brand of artificial grass popular in the USA, and behind Wikipedia: Astroturfing, laying artificial grass – a word utilized to name seemingly grassroots civic actions or initiatives taken to express support or opposition to ideas, policies, services, products, events. This kind of run is intended to give the impression of an independent social action, while the actual identity of its initiator and his intentions stay hidden. The analysis afraid the causes of the storm on Capitol after Trump's losers of the election, the function of Putin's trolls and social media. Is there anything like this that we have and will proceed to deal with here? There, in the United States, initiators were Biden and Trump.
We've had Kaczyński and Tusk for years. We live in a country where the pressures of a group of pews and writers are constantly being subjected by the media, including social media. erstwhile there are people around us who express an opinion, in time we start accepting it as our own. The alleged astroturfing is about flooding the information space – what has been happening in our comments and forums for years – opinions that influence the worldview of people, late powerfully in the youth group. Thus they sailed Mentzen and Braun, helping partially Nawrock win.
The same message repeated in bots and memes thousands of times caused that having no chance of knowing another people's opinions (no 1 is born a Nazi) than those that are already attracted to individual and they are "populated", many begin to radicalize. More than that, they repeat them over and over again not only as opinions, but as their own "facts" and accept them as certainty. It's the beginning of conspiracy theories. Critical reasoning (even among well-known journalists) is in the defense, due to the fact that why check something immediately as the algorithm has already done. I'm going back to ours. Initiators Kaczyński and Tuska. Kaczyński wants Nawrocki's hands (because not his head) to do everything to overthrow the Tusk government and this as shortly as possible. He knew that the method government would not emergence up, Tusk gave him time, so he “picks up” Peeselists who even aid him by doing interior research: “Why not the PiS?” Tusk says, “No”, we regulation for the remainder of the term. The identity of the initiator by definition of astroturfing is known. It's Tusk, but is it His intentions stay hidden? I don't know, but with the anticipation that I can compose to a weekly magazine, I'd like to fantasize about what Tusk might do. Go va banque and “kill” Kaczyński with his own “ideas”.
Simpler? To owe the country and give it power. For example, send the bill to Duda or Nawrocki by PLN 60 1000 of the tax-free amount, and as it raises to PLN 140 1000 – as promised in the campaign, give it to everyone, without income criteria. Do not play with taxes, investments, farmers, rise budgets, quit the repair of justice, wellness care and churches, and transfer money to local governments even from the armory. I wonder what the president of NBP and NIK would do about it. Unreal? He should at least give a clear signal that that's what he'd like to do. I don't think any AI-assisted algorithms would aid this time, due to the fact that as individual in the network wrote, If you don't like democracy, eat g...o. Millions of flies can't be wrong.

Comment
As a comment on this election, I will usage quotes, most likely biased, people definitely, and that's for sure, smarter than me. – The mouths of the people shouting the people themselves will yet get bored and the faces of the people playing at the end will get bored. Hands for the people that fight, the people themselves cut off, the names of the kind people forget the people. It'll all go away, after the noise, after the trouble. They will take the legacy of the quiet, the dark, the small people. Adam Mickiewicz – There is simply a Polishness that speaks a lot and loudly. The more he screams, the more foolish he is. Fr Józef Tischner – A increasing part of society does not realize the planet we live in. And that's why he's allowing cynical swindlers, crooks and thieves to regulation them. James Woods – If it comes out as a origin of its strength to harm the people, it is mostly not to build democracy, but to replace it with a totalitarian state. Prof. Karol Modzelewski – 1 of the most vicious features of the Law and Justice is to demote opponents and bring them to the notion of enemy (...).
Taking someone's right to love their homeland is simply a disgusting, immoral and dehumanizing procedure. Radosław Sikorski – “Ceterum censeo Carthagin esse delendam” – To demolish Carthage first, or Rome will neglect – these are the words of Katon the Elder, but they relate in the sense that without political trial with the Law and Justice, Poland will fall as a western country anyway. Mariusz Janicki and Wiesław Vladika – The results at the ballot box depend equally (or even more) not on what the PiS does, but on what the PiS is (...). PiS refers to political categories established in the Polish tradition. It is simply a contemporary emanation of the National Democracy, with a clear push towards ONR. Prof. Jan Tomasz Gross We had as president a “little man”, a buffoon, a cynic, a narcissist, a conceit, a partyist and, as it turned out, a legal dilettante, and we would have a “real Pole”, a man with contacts with a half-worlder, a spinner, a shrewd, a fraud, a kibboli militant, but sleeping with a Bible under a pillow. And that is Poland!!! Andrzej Lorenzo
Is Kundlism okay?
A lot has been written and said about the situation in Polish football. Unfortunately, I'm certain the origin of her current condition has not yet been found. I am a fewer years old and remember the era of Kazimierz Górski in this area. This large but modest guest started his coaching occupation with a tour of many provincial cities in Poland and reflection of 7-league players. He had a good eye, but erstwhile he presented a list of players to play in the erstwhile NRF planet Cup, they all knocked in the head who he wanted to fight for that championship. These names we had to survey violently, due to the fact that already the first match at these championships with Argentina (4:3) for Poland showed that he was right.
It ended in 3rd place in the planet in these championships and it came in a beautiful style. Later came better and worse years for this sport, but it was as good as it was for Mr. Górski. And now I want to decision on to the present time. Robert Lewandowski's way to the position he achieved, most of us know us. From the little-known league squad in Poland to the renowned Bayern Munich club was rather a long way away, but he managed to get through it highly happily. Players of this club noted that he has an outstanding talent for scoring goals. Therefore, coach of this club set Robert in a position almost under the enemy's goal. All he had to do was wait for him to pass the ball, and he was already doing the remainder by himself, putting the ball in the goal of the rivals.
And that worked flawlessly, due to the fact that in abroad teams, especially German teams, bonuses are given after winning the game all players and it is even very large money. Our player besides received it and shortly became a very wealthy man. And that's where the stairs start. As long as Lewandowski was playing abroad, it was possible to survive.
However, individual had the thought to bring him to the Polish team. And here, I admit, I do not know what these “financial” issues look like in Polish teams. That's enough. Mr. Robert was inactive on the stand to finish the goals of the opposing team, only... there were no applications to him. Although the commentators of the games noticed this, it was apparent that even at the hazard of not shooting this goal themselves, the players avoided Lewandowski's demonstration on the field. We lost those games 1 by 1 and nothing changed. The motivation or demotivation of these Polish players was like this: “And what will I inactive do to this rich man? Let it roll."
You don't believe me? This is what I mention you to 2 Polish films: “Milioner” with Janusz Gajos, and the second 1 is simply a series “Rancho”, an episode in which a couple of average people win 5 million in totoletka. And what is the reaction of fellow citizens? Melchior Wanakowicz called specified an attitude a mutt. But that's who we were and inactive are. Yours sincerely. READER
