Braun was accused of destroying property – Christmas trees and baubles. The property was to be owned by the justice Associations Themis and Iustitia.According to the Euro MP, the judges deliberately manipulated the valuation. Initially, the value of the Christmas tree was PLN 200 and the bauble was PLN 600. However, this valuation was intentionally amended to exceed the threshold of misconduct and to qualify the act as a criminal offence. The price of bombs has risen to PLN 800, and now it is already PLN 1400.
The expert's opinion on the valuation of bombs has already cost the Treasury PLN 2000. In addition, Braun indicates that the Christmas tree was not destroyed, especially since it was a plastic model with the anticipation of "modelling" shape.
If the associations of judges are able to deliberately change the valuation of the bombs in order to rise the importance of the event, how do citizens conduct their affairs? Should they even do that?

In March and April 2010, 2 Tupolev production aircraft crashed. 1 – Tupolev Tu-204 close Moscow – finished the flight in the forest after hitting the tree during the approach to landing. The second – Tupolev Tu-154M – crashed a fewer weeks later close Smolensk Airport.
At first glance, the script is similar: fog, approach to landing, trees before the runway. But erstwhile you look at the results, there is simply a question that many would like not to ask.
In the Tu-204 accident, the device hit trees and fell apart in the forest. The hull broke, the wings were damaged, and the structural elements scattered between the trees.
And yet everyone on board survived.
From the point of view of aviation it is not a miracle – it has happened many times.
Planes can disintegrate erstwhile impacted, but impact energy can be partially dispersed by trees and soft ground. Therefore, even a badly damaged wreck does not always mean complete tragedy.
The Tu-204 debris field was comparatively compact. Large fragments of the hull remained, and the aircraft stopped at 1 main location.
In the case of Tu-154 the image was completely different. The debris field was broad, a fragmentation of the massive structure, and many elements of the hull and wings fell into tiny parts.
Supporters of the assassination hypothesis draw attention to this difference.
If 2 Tupolev planes in akin weather conditions hit trees in front of the airport, why are the effects so dramatically different? Why in 1 case do we have a broken but mostly preserved hull, and in the another – a immense fragmentation of the structure and full disaster?
In this version of events, a disaster would not only be a tragic accident, but a consequence of the plane being destroyed in the air.

Instead of focusing on cultivating artistic heritage, Justyna Sieńce and her boy Kajetan, who manage the Theatre Kamienica theatre, gotta face the brutal reality of the dispute over the seat of the Theatre. The situation became so serious that Kajetan Kamiński decided to take drastic precautions, he has been wearing a bulletproof vest all day for a year.
In fresh interviews, among others, in the "Case for a Reporter", Kajetan Kamiński shared shocking details about his safety. The young theatre manager admitted straight that he feared for his own life. The decision to buy and to wear a bulletproof vest regularly was not a whim, but a increasing sense of danger.
“They already threatened me. If individual pulls up and shoots me in the head, so be it. But if he shoots in the chest, thanks to the vest I have a chance to survive" – said moved Kamiński. He besides described the disturbing incidental that occurred on the street: a alien approached him and made a move, as if he were reaching for a weapon hidden by his hip. The assailant withdrew only due to the fact that passersby was nearby. The foundation of these dramatic events is simply a long-standing dispute over real property at 93 Solidarity Avenue in Warsaw, where the theatre is located. The fight takes place on many fronts, on the 1 hand, with a private investor who overtakes part of the building's surface years ago, on the another hand with part of the housing community.
The case is highly complicated legally and emotionally. Justyna Szence, widow of Emilian Kamiński, besides does not feel safe. She had previously informed the media of attempts to intimidate, specified as suggestions to “check the brakes in the car” or reports of attempts to set fire to the theatre building.

Prof. Jan Miodek: "woman" in the 17th century was an abusive word
And vulgar. Our ancestors were acquainted with the word "woman,"
And that's as much as a pigsty. In the 16th century written by Marcin Bielski "The Seymie of a Woman", 1 of the heroines says: "the men of us to disgrace the women of the woman".
The female was only stylistically neutral in the 17th century. Instead, there was a "wife" turned into a "wife". The wife, derived from the Indo-European trunk, was a word for a female being, but with the neutralization of the female she became a matrimony term.
On the another hand, the neutral word was a "girl" who later acquired a pejorative valor, especially with an inclined vowel "e" - means a whore. The word "girl" is gone. You can say sometimes jokingly, oh, she's a courteous girl, but all day you say "girl"

Hundreds of companies established in the Polish People's Republic proved to be an excellent commodity in the 3rd Poland, which could be sold and thus put a gap in the budget. By 2009 sales of crown jewels of the People's Poland brought PLN 83 billion to the budget. And it was sold at a ridiculously low price, frequently for a fraction of value. And there's a lot left to sell.
WHAT WAS THE FENOMEN OF THE GAME?
Edward Gierek launched giant layers of ambition and energy of Poles, said loudly what millions thought quietly
More than 40 years have passed since his retirement, and the memory of the decade of the 1970s is inactive alive. Although most Poles do not remember these times... The legend is inactive alive.
In 2004, “Gazeta Wyborcza” together with Radio Zet and TVN conducted a survey in which Poles were asked who was the best leader in Poland's history. He won, and he definitely won, Edward Gierek. It was indicated by 46% of respondents.
Today, these results would most likely look different, propaganda that disgusts People's Poland and everything related to it, as it lasts for the best. For generations entering adult life, it surely works. But Gierek would inactive be the favorite. So what was his phenomenon? Why do we remember only what's good from his time, forgetting the bad things?
I think there were a fewer elements. And material, and the consciousness of millions of Poles. Of course, it is easy to talk about large investments, about factories of houses, licenses, about Poland as a large construction site. But erstwhile we consider the phenomenon of the Game Age, something else is more crucial – the 1970s changed Poles first of all. Edward Gierek launched gigantic pockets of ambition and energy that had previously been strangled somewhere.
The aspirations that Poles had earlier were limited, life was difficult, and in radio and newspapers, and these are German revisionists, and this is the construction of socialism... Edward Game's time changed everything. There's been a reversal of earlier rules. Investments were intended primarily for people. Home factories, furniture factories began to be built, and the roads were produced under a fiat license. “For Poland to grow stronger and people to live well”, this slogan reflected the doctrine of governance.
Importantly, the Game squad carried the belief that the change must cover the full country, all layers. If to this day the 1970s are mentioned as the best time in villages, in tiny and average cities, it did not come out of nowhere. The villagers were given wellness care and pension care, and they dropped the humiliating obligations of compulsory deliveries, they could invest, build. Middle-sized cities could feel the air of the large world. Investments have spread across Poland. In smaller centres, branches of large plants were located, fresh ones were built. The 1975 ridiculed administrative improvement gave impetus to the improvement of 10 cities.
Otherwise, the planet was yet shown in Game times. The iron curtain has been exposed. The West is no longer a threat. Millions of Poles began to discover it. And tourism, and business trips. Each household could mention at the authoritative course of 150 dollars and travel to France or Italy. Delegations of Polish engineers, specialists, drove around the world, negotiating contacts, licences.
Poles rode and compared. Their aspirations grew.
The breakthrough that occurred was no accident. beginning Poland to the planet is simply a work and Gamek, and a increasing group reasoning about the modernity of activists in PZPR. Their function is ignored today. erstwhile we talk about PZPR, we focus on the factions of 1956, on the regiments and the nanites, remember the guerrillas, the ureters... Meanwhile, until at least the mid-1960s, a group of technocrats, activists who wanted to make Poland through its industrialization, acquisition of western licenses, developed within the party. Fiat 125p, produced on Żerań, was inactive the Gomulka era. Tadeusz Wrzaszczyk, head of the FSO, in the days of Gierek, made a large career.
Not only him. Gierek would not have done much if there were not thousands of educated engineers, economists, professionals in Poland. They were the ones he leaned on, their dreams he realized.
So the large turn of the 1970s did not take place in a political and social vacuum. Gierek wasn't alone. His strength was that he said loudly what millions quietly thought. And he could do that, due to the fact that he knew the planet better, he had bigger prospects.
* Oh, yeah *
I think it is unsurpassable that Edward Gierek spent his youth in France and Belgium, in mines there. It's soaked in the West. I could see that. Gierek understood the function of politics in a Western way. For the Communists of the Gomulku era, frequently prisoners of the sanitation, politics was a revolution. For Game, politics was the art of improving life. The large French king Henry IV utilized to say that his dream was that all Frenchman could put chicken in a pot on Sunday. Gierek saw politics as well.
Unlike his predecessors, he saw the function of politics. PZPR, erstwhile it took power in Poland, brought with it an east model of governance – that I secretary is somewhere far away, unavailable, but always right.
This model has changed. His gathering with strikers in Szczecin on 24 January 1971 was an era. They were on strike, and he went to them. Completely unannounced, he knocked on the yards' gates, and cried out, "I am, I am here!
The next day he was in Gdańsk. And then he gave 1 of the best speeches of his life. “We, too, are of the same clay,” he said to the gathered. And then he asked them, “Will you help?”
Who of today's leaders could afford specified a trip, specified a gathering and specified a question?
The ridiculers gag about Game's farm visits, due to the fact that he drove the country across and across. And it wasn't fake, at least for 2 reasons. First of all, as his colleagues tell him, Gierek did not like to read into various reports, he did not trust them, he preferred to see for himself what things looked like. Talk to people. So he did not ask the ministers for reports, but called on them to explain to him, in private, how they were going to solve the problem.
Secondly, it was besides a model of power which he brought from the West – that the leader is among the crew, he lives her life. People saw it and felt important, appreciated.
When we talk about the Game Age as a time erstwhile the surviving rate of millions has definitely improved, it is always worth adding that these millions felt like hosts in their country.
* Oh, yeah *
There is another crucial component in the 1970s. We've mentioned it before, but it's worth putting a dot over i. Well, Gierek was not afraid of the world. And he moved perfectly in both Moscow and Paris and Bonn.
Even as I secretary of KW in Katowice he established contacts in Moscow. Brezhnev had already treated him in the 1960s as the successor of Gomulka, the Russians liked him and bet on him. His technocratic approach found understanding. Gierek, as his associates tell, had a good attitude toward russian leaders, absolutely different from his predecessor. Well, Gomulka fought with Brezhniew or Kosygin, taught them, was a very hard partner. Gierek was an attractive partner. He didn't spare any good words, compliments, awards, but he did his job. Since he was a friend and provided peace, the Kremlin was closed to his policies regarding the Church, the village, and the beginning to the West. Until...
In the West, Edward Gierek rapidly built himself a serious partner. Poland was different, it was not 1 of many russian satellites. Through licenses, investments, she began to rapidly integrate into the planet economy.
That must have been noticed. present we can laughter that the stories about Poland as the 10th power of the economical world, is simply a product of tv propaganda. But something was going on! If not 10, it was 12 or 15. And that mattered.
Second, Gierek was well received in the world. He spoke better than Russian in French, so he was treated as 1 of his own at the Seine. German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt gave him sympathy and friendship, said he would be happy to take him to his squad as the Minister of Labour. It wasn't a inexpensive compliment, it was a designation that Gierek as a politician has competence. The Polish-American contacts were great.
Polish hopes began to be established in the West. Especially in Europe, especially in Germany, that its independent policy will evolutionaryly change the political architecture of our continent. That it would not be a confrontation area of 2 blocks facing each other.
* Oh, yeah *
So why did Gierek fall? Is that so painful?
It didn't come out of nowhere either, it wasn't an accident. Poland wanted to get out of the corset besides quickly. Old economical structures, shortage of skilled staff... The experimentation of transferring a part of the West to the East, modernity to replace the unmodern in the case of Poland failed. We weren't in the planet any exception...
But it's not like after the '70s there's only good memories left. all 5th Pole lives in blocks built at the time, we drive on roads from the 1970s, we treat ourselves in hospitals built then.
There is besides a story – a memory of good times erstwhile everything was successful. And our plant, and all of Poland was moving forward, and even the footballers were the best in the world.
In the 1970s, 557 fresh companies were built, including:
- 71 home factories
- 18 meat establishments,
- 16 clothing factories
- 14 Refrigerated
- 10 electronic plants
- 10 furniture factories
- 9 iron and non-ferrous metals factories
- 9 CHP plants
- 7 power plants
- 7 car factories and parts thereof
- 5 cement plants
- 5 coal mines
These hundreds of companies proved to be an excellent commodity in the III Republic, which could be sold and thus put a gap in the budget. By 2009 sales of crown jewels of the People's Poland brought PLN 83 billion to the budget. And it was sold at a ridiculously low price, frequently for a fraction of value. And there's a lot left to sell.
