People who have been closely and full aware of the situation in our country for over 30 years will most likely not see this article as interesting to them.
However, I felt that the presentation of the mechanics itself, which works perfectly in the case of the ruling party, can, indeed, for a comparatively long time, explain what a “miracles” it has been that, as a society, we are afraid of surveillance, arrests immediately after the alleged ban on social media, and it is much easier for foreigners to do business than for citizens. Well, I'm going to make a hypothesis here that may seem highly one-dimensional, but I think it's at the base of a mole that's tormenting us with all of its entourage.
Authoritarianism itself is not even the worst of the phenomena that are present in our socio-political life. We are turning into an oligarchic state, and at the same time we have incompetent bodies with which they have no pleasance or interest to cooperate with another actors of the global community. We have created or, rather, we have set up an elite that only cares about their peculiar needs, regardless of whether our state remains a serious entity.
The issue is not whether we are strong or economically weak. This is only a consequence of our problems, which must be outlined with all care. The plundering of private property is no more than a side effect of operations on a surviving organism, which were carried out by the teams ruling us with the most influential camp of Jarosław Kaczyński at the head. It is simply a real empire which he and his colleagues were diligently building already at the beginning of the systemic changes of the 3rd Republic of Poland and the society only swallowed the god-fathered mush administered to him from morning to evening.
My article on the proposal to improvement the services was widely criticized primarily due to the fact that these services no 1 trusts, and conspiracy theories (which I very much like and have nothing against their sleep) and these actual stories indicate that there is no saving for this hard situation. Certainly, it should be agreed that the illness is already advanced, the "old guard" of people with rules passes distant or has gone along with the destructive remnants of functioning safety organs with the operations of decommissioning and the creation of fresh bodies.
Elimination of professional services
Why were the military and civilian institutions broken up centrally, so according to Polish tradition? The formation of 2 separate bodies (SKW and SWW) in Polish conditions in a theoretical sense was unnecessary. This was done for a prosaic reason, which is to build on these ruins in the informational sense – political capital with the announcement of lice and the fight against the inactive hidden in the ranks of Polish services of "red spiders" and to subdue fresh institutions to their own political and financial interests. It came to this that (as was said in the form of a gag in the ranks of the broken-up WSI) specified SKW “we entered families”.
The vacancyes were filled with people after 2 weeks of training, completely unrelated to either counterintelligence or the military. They were rapidly promoted to a higher rank, and survivors of the stormy and foolish “reform” services were asked to aid prepare a geography teacher from Podlasie primary school or a scenery park keeper (these are authentic examples!) to work in specified a liable service. It was operating above constitutional and legal provisions, but it did not bother Polish society. It allowed specified a model of conduct, due to the fact that it wanted to feel free from the wicked from the times of the Polish People's Republic, though they remained, even though specified persons as the prosecutor Stanisław PiotrowiczWhose figure doesn't should be introduced to anyone anymore. If the ruling squad saw that activities outside the legal framework and to the detriment of the image of our state are accepted by Polish society, they went and went into denial.
We must admit that we are an absolutely exceptional player on the global stage. Especially unimportant even from the point of view of our allies (let us put aside Atlantic prejudice for a minute to conduct an analysis of the situation). Permanent, controlled leaks, ridicule of the Polish army and creating an atmosphere of deficiency of trust in the state, which with it conducts its abroad policy, vide the case of Nangar Khel, which courts could not deal with almost a decade, deficiency of rational technological modernisation of these institutions... can be calculated almost indefinitely. Does the Polish citizen think that the world's words abusive to our soldiers or simple negligence about the safety of the flow of confidential and classified information stay unresponsive, for example, to our Natov partners? How should we be taken seriously if the elite of our state's power creates tragic situations?
In addition, it should be stressed that the staff I mentioned and were admitted to the recently established, e.g. the SKW did not inspire assurance in their counterparts in another countries. A complete deficiency of professionalism manifested even in the most basic orders, specified as a literal cover for setting up a wiretap in an flat of 1 of the Polish military attachée only due to its educational CV reaching China (a valuable employee!). Indeed, mistakes happen in all peculiar services, but not in fundamental matters! The champagne corks in Moscow do not fire at the news that the Germans did not send any kind of weapon to Ukraine, but on the basis of this kind of perfidiously sewn as the political capital of the "reform" was broken. The excavating of ears and eyes, surrounded by godly slogans, behind which the tempting mist lies the casting of household members and friends of the most crucial positions in strategical state-owned companies. Organising committees that do not really know the least about the nomenclature of bodies whose activities they want to study. The alliance of the throne with an altar, which derives additional benefits from clamping ticks on an increasingly enslaved society. He's mocking the very eyes that we approve of, and I think we're having a beautiful good time.
Yes, our services have taken full control of the elite. Most likely there are rather intelligent and observant people working there, but in order not to fall out of the "object", they are actually doing not their occupation of protecting their powers. Powerful men who for many years simply distributed and paid well for their positions. By subjugating even counterintelligence, even private military formations, specified as WOT, have been carefully building an authoritarian state in which we are slow strangled. It is capital that they built for years with social support, focused on beginning further useless museums within an improbable historical policy of the state. After all, nothing affects Poles as well as patriotic, anti-communist slogans (the fight against “communists” takes a terrible long time), pathetic and unleavened.
Therefore, let us not be amazed that specified peculiar services coordinators become hilarious Stanislaw ŻarynAnd the soldiers salute with medals. Bartłomiej Misiewicz. Do you remember his celebrated action at the office of the NATO CEK, which is said to have prevented the Polish State from infiltration by hostile Russian services? Even the partners of the Atlantic camp wiped their eyes with amazement at what was allowed in our country. After all, the case afraid a de facto branch of their activities. Let us not be amazed at the experiments on sausages and canned packaging within the framework of the costly Smolensk commission, which was yet expected to show Poles the fact about the Smolensk catastrophe, during which in the top paranoid panic there was no 1 another than Minister Antoni Macierewicz, who, lying on the level of a train going to Poland, ordered to cover all the windows with fear of the alleged Russian fire.
Authoritarianism is ridiculous
After all, we laughter at many authoritarian or totalitarian states, pointing at them with a finger, not noticing what we have become as a state and who we entrust our "crosswords" to during elections. It is not about competence, it is about filling positions with friends, having fun for taxpayers' money and mocking the alleged state's rations. The creation of its own farm, where it is parasited for years, that services make private political police and citizens think (maybe rather rightly) of being a bunch of complete naïve people who inactive believe in the tireless fight against red plague. This fight seems to be ineffective if it takes so long. likewise ineffective were attempts to set concrete charges and then issue final sentences in cases that were always on banners during election campaigns. However, authentically criminal of its nature, with the approval of the state – from Art-B, through the Kok Volomin, to Misiewicz's excesses and Podkarpackie's affair – they never found their Right and Right culmination.
People who dare to present views different (not extremist at all) from those presented in the mass media are being pursued, the society is shared by the most simple methods that could be invented behind the walls of various ministries, another “elite” armed to the teeth with stupidity and unlimited indolence, and builds a state that endures and does not feel safe in it.
The dear reader may wonder at this point why I am addressing this subject, after all, which is the subject of an interior state policy erstwhile I am fundamentally engaged in global relations in the area of the russian and mediate East? It is 1 of the means by which the state is built or destroyed (as in our case) in the global arena.. We cannot be surprised, therefore, that we are just an area of Vistula alternatively than a serious entity, since we let our active and passive right to elect the elites of power, which are not only compradorous but besides destruct the possible of Poland's influence through their regrettable deeds. This is not the way to build assurance in possible partners, nor does it make a appropriate morale in the ranks of both civilian and military services.
In this way, our country is simply being ridiculed, mentally destroying society and building an authoritarian state in which the legal framework exists only in declarative form. The façade of democratic institutions does not concern only any distant russian republics in Central Asia or a well-managed Belarus in general (there was besides a scandal with an inept effort to recruit a Belarusian diplomat who immediately informed the authorities of his homeland about the event due to the fact that he knew that he was dealing with improbable people). This façade concerns ourselves. For more than 30 years, we have been snoring rotten fruit, and we are definitely heading for the abyss.
