t1, take a deep breath and count to ten...
i sense too much emotion, not enough rationality in you last post...
are you sure you're not working for the tusk's pr department???
let's go through them one by one...
1. cba does not manupulate me, but you're trying hard to... where in
my previous post have i suggested that chlebowski, drzewiecki and
schetyna committed a criminial act while dealing with the gaming
industry execs/crims??? all i said was that they had not acted in
the best interest of the polish society and i hope you can see the
difference between the two... we see almost daily reports of
projects that had been planned for euro2012, which are now being
scrapped due to various reasons although one the one most often
suggested is the lack of time. well, let me tell you, in the
construction industry money can buy time... crews can be working
around the clock, long lead items can be pushed up the queue if
financial incentives are offerred, etc, etc... why then drzewiecki
writes a letter to the finance ministry that he doesn't need the
gaming levy funds when projects which could contribute to the
showcasing of poland during one of the biggest sporting events
worldwide are being scrapped??? because they decided to help their
golfing mates rather than the polish people who elected them to
their positions (now ex-positions and good on you tusk for forcing
them to resign)... cba's got nothing to do with it, they did not
force any of the individuals in question to collaborate to make the
gaming guys richer (i purposely exclude the politicians from stating
thet they would be richer as well, because they obviously wouldn't
be that corrupt and bad, wanting something in return after putting
470mln pln in the gaming guys' pockets) at the expense of the polish
population.
shipyards... again, from where your idea that i said that the scam
had been designed to benefit members of the po party??? read my
previous notes, in one of them t said that one had to be very
careful on this forum when expressing his/her views or otherwise may
be shot for one unfortunate word... i try to choose my words
carefully... i said "po government associates" - meaning people who
have some sort of connection with the po government, could be
social, sporting, family, whatever, not necessarily party ties.
people from the privatisation team (who do form a po government,
being employees of the state treasury reporting to grad) didn't call
me to offer me a nice little affiliate company for say 10mln pln,
which would recover debts to the value of say 50mln pln soon after
the settlement... they called their associates, therefore it was po
government who chose who to call, isn't that right??? even if some
obscue pis person by the name of draba was involved, it doesn't
change things much.... all it means is that he is some kind of
associate of a member of the po government (shipyards' privatisation
team)...
kaminski... you are accusing me of establishing guilt in the gaming
scam (i hope you are big enough to retract this) while at the same
time you do exactly that to kaminski... i don't know the guy, it may
be the case that kaczynski's pulling all the strings, but it's the
bad manager tusk, who has allowed to be driven into a corner... due
to his laziness and lack of managerial experience and his utmost
reluctance to deal with the hard issues he's wasted 2 years to set
the cba straight... now he's damned if he does and damned if he
doesn't sack kamisnki... if he does sack kaminski, it will look like
shooting the messenger, regardless of how much kaminski had been
politically motivated to do what he's done recently... people will
remember this during the election time and it does fall into po's
pattern anyway... shoot the messenger if the news is not po party
positive... remember kudrycka's knee-jerk decision to audit the
history dept of the uj following the zyzak's book.... pis will not
let anybody forget and i have a suspicion that there's more to
come...
if you do work for tusk's pr department (or have other connections
with them) pass my advice to tusk... stop going after kaminski and
do it now... let the proper bodies investigate the cba-reported
misconduct allegations in an open and transparent fashion... if the
outcome is that there was nothing much in them and the cba seriously
breached their rules, there will be a good and valid reason to sack
kaminski and the public will not give two hoots about him any
more... if the outcome is that the allegations are serious and
substantiated, provided tusk is not implicated in any of them, he
will emerge as a strong leader and one who sends a clear message to
his government that corruption will not be tolerated at all levels
of life in poland... at that time work to reform cba can commence to
ensure their impartiality, with kaminski or without...
otherwise, if kaminski is sacked now and the investigation is a
whitewash, kaminski will be seen as a martyr, shot while searching
for the truth and tusk's credibility will suffer even more...
2. i stand by my comments. i don't find your sun example all that
convincing... i don't follow the political alliegances of the
british media that closely, but from memory the sun is the paper
with bare boobs on page 3??? a rather working class paper??? haven't
they supported labour for quite a few years just as the majority of
the working class do??? obviously there are other titles that
support the conservatives, there is no need to run to bbc for biased
support. while it's not as good as it used to be (in my opinion),
the general standard of journalism in the uk when compared to polish
standards is like comparing man utd with arka gdynia regarding all
aspects, including but not limited to professionalism, history,
tradition, achievements, etc, etc. london had its first underground
line in 1860's, about a year or two before warsaw got its first
permanent bridge (most kierbedzia) across the vistula river... so
you're trying to compare chalk and cheese... as i said before, the
support lent to po by the likes of tvn, tvn24, polsat is heavy,
while the criticism is savage and in your face... all tricks are
allowed - laughing off, irony, humiliation, etc, etc... i can't
recall any po person leaving olejniks' studio having been upset by
her behaviour towards that person, but i do recall several incidents
of this nature involving piss people... any reason why she's soft
with her questioning of one party and ruthless (and often rude) of
the other??? i don't mind if a counterbalance to all that exists,
albeit in principle i am against a pro-party national tv station...
why sending me to poland and suggesting i'm mad??? do you reckon
they're all mad there, so i will fit well??? i'm not mad, i've
explained my reasons why i am prepared to deviate from my beliefs on
the tv ownership/bias rules and i say that because this is what i
truly think, and not because kaczynski will like what i say.
frankly, i don't give a damn what he thinks about me.
3. hey, let not get hot under the collar because i have a simple
definition of nationality. i like things being simple. einstein
said: everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler.
my definition is as simple as i can make it, but not simpler. you
are defending tusk's nationality and are trying to make my
definition too simple. following your definition, john mcenroe was
born in west germany, that makes him a good german national, nicht
wahr??? let's leave my son at the moment and concentrate on tusk...
why manipulate my words again??? according to what i said before,
tusk was not born on territory that for centuries has been a
traditionally polish one... administratively his place of birth was
not strictly polish less than 20 years before his birth,
