The Tin Drum, The view of New York Sun

The extract from An Open Letter to Günter Grass (The New York Sun, August 17, 2006):
Afterward, you wrote to thank Brandt effusively for the privilege of "being allowed to be moved." What strikes me now is the artificiality, not only of the language but also the emotion. For how could a man living a lie respond adequately on such an occasion?
You were his friend and ally; you campaigned for him. What would this great German statesman, an émigré who risked his life for the anti-Nazi resistance, have said if he had known about your past and your deceit? Would he have tolerated your presence? He is dead, but we know how a great Polish leader, Lech Walesa, feels about you. He says that Gdansk, your native Danzig, would never have given you the freedom of the city if the Poles had known about your past. Do you not see the damage you have done to Germany's good name?
The extract from An Open Letter Open Letter to Günter Grass (The New York Sun, August 18, 2006):
Not with your fellow writers in the Gruppe 47, most of whom were, like you, war veterans, who gave you your first breaks; not with the publishers and the book trade that marketed you as the voice of a new, untainted but angry young generation, and above all not with the reading public, which has remained true to you since you broke onto the literary scene in 1959 with your first novel, "The Tin Drum."

Address of the Holy Father during the visit in Auschwitz-Birkenau 28.5.2006
Fot. Diether Endlicher AP

To speak in this place of horror, in this place where unprecedented mass crimes were committed against God and man, is almost impossible - and it is particularly difficult and troubling for a Christian, for a Pope from Germany. In a place like this, words fail; in the end, there can only be a dread silence - a silence which is itself a heartfelt cry to God: Why, Lord, did you remain silent? How could you tolerate all this? In silence, then, we bow our heads before the endless line of those who suffered and were put to death here; yet our silence becomes in turn a plea for forgiveness and reconciliation, a plea to the living God never to let this happen again.

Bahamy

Viktor Kozeny (Photo: Michal Růžička, MAFA)
Viktor Kozeny, the so-called Pirate of Prague, is currently sitting in a police cell in his adopted home of the Bahamas, after being arrested by the FBI. On Thursday US federal prosecutors charged him and two other men with participating in a scheme to bribe senior government officials in Azerbaijan over lucrative oil privatisation deals. He now faces extradition to the U.S. But as Rob Cameron reports, Czech investors who say they were defrauded by Mr Kozeny have little hope of seeing their money again. More...
The consensus among lawyers in Prague at the end of last week was that the U.S. authorities have an infinitely greater chance of bringing Kozeny to justice than their Czech counterparts. More...

If Kozeny is found guilty, he faces up to 20 years in prison for money laundering and five years in prison for each of the 27 counts of the charge according to which hey breached Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Associated Press has reported. More...
Mr Kozeny remains an Irish citizen to this day, although the Government is understood to be examining means of rescinding his citizenship. According to informed sources, the scrutiny of his citizenship centres on two provisions in the 1956 Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act. This allows a certificate of naturalisation to be revoked if the issue was procured by fraud, misrepresentation, or concealment of material facts. More...
Kožený has been prosecuted in the Czech Republic for fraud connected with the activities of Harvardské fondy (Harvard funds), which participated in coupon privatization in then-Czechoslovakia after the fall of the previous regime. He then left for the Bahamas with an estimated $200 million. The Czech courts have been trying to extradite Kožený, claiming he tunneled investment funds in the coupon privatization and deprived small shareholders of Kč 11.5 billion.More...
Mr Kozeny has been known as a flamboyant spender who owned two planes and a 165-foot yacht. At Lyford Cay he built a $14 million swimming pool the size of a small lake, Fortune magazine reported in 2000. More...
James Margolin, spokesman for the New York branch of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, told CTK in Prague by phone that nothing stands in the way of Kozeny's extradition because the Bahamas has an extradition treaty with the United States. More Bahamas News...
When a guy called the Pirate of Prague asks you to partner up with him again--you lost your shirt the first time--it's easy to be dismissive. Nonetheless, in the kind of audacious ploy only he could dream up, 36-year-old Czech promoter Viktor Kozeny is asking the very investors who are suing him for fraud to join...

The Morality(21/8/1968-The Aniversary of The Russion, East German, Polish, Hungary, Bulgaria Occupation of our Country)

In this time I was in the Army as a university student embodied for training. Maybe in the next anniversary I put some pic from this event, now it is not in my computer, of course when I will be on this earth yet. This occupation destroyed my next life career, because after a few years the majority of people has colaborated with new Russion regime, it was terrible for me to live with this morality around yourself. Your friends, your co-worker, your family, simply has been said 99,9% voted this regime, or else in not democratic elections, but they had not to vote. I wanted emigrate, all my material I have exported thru my friend to Dortmund in Germany, but I stayed finally at home. But I was also - disapointed that nobody from the West countries did not help us, like with the German occupation in 1939. And now with the morality? It is similar. Most people colaborate with democracy without morality . And some young people even dont know what happened in the year 17/11/1989 in so called The Velvet Revolution. Maybe it is good, there was no revolution only delivery of the power to some dissidents groups like as in all post-communist countries, like in Iraq. C'est la vie. P.S. Real the Revolution is another one.
P.P.S. The Revolution of our Hearts.

Jára Meců
O věčně prodávaných
Jára Meců
Prý prodali nás v Mnichově
(Ej fámo nepoddajná!)
Ještě dnes slyším dědečka
Proklínat Chamberlaina.
A pak když o nás prodané
se prali kupci noví
tak nás prý prodal na Jaltě
pán Roosevelt Stalinovi.
Když zbyli z nás jen trhani
tak v trhoveckém shonu
prodal nás handlíř moskevský
zpět kupcům z Washingtonu.
Tak jsme šli trhem století
zbyteční jak ta fáma
dle které prý sám Gorbačov
už nechtěl mít nic s náma.
A když čas trhl oponou
a z přítmí vyšli kupci
mozečky naše slavily
v sametu revoluci.
K svobodě zvenčí vnucené
každý chtěl velkou lžíci
státníci byli prodejní
jak děvky na ulici.
Jsme rozprodáni,
neptej se komu to zvoní hrana
vždyť i ty české noviny
cizího mají pána!
Je prodané i potomstvo
armáda v cizím žoldu
"DUŠÍ I TĚLEM PATŘÍME
JEN MĚNOVÉMU FONDU."
Patříme k CHOVU-jako skot
jak telátko a býček
předepsali nám kulturu
a cizí jídelníček.
Vše prodali jsme bez slzí
(ta pravda zní už hluše)
vždyť PRODALI JSME KUPČÍKŮM
I NAŠE ČESKÉ DUŠE !!

My first Description of my Blog was in Czech, now the translation in English
It is not for nothing that totalitarian regimes strive to get control of man's soul, too. Ideological totalitarianism was replaced by that of consumption. I have not found an answer yet to the intentional boycott of TV Nova, the most popular mass medium in our country, which never reported about the election of the new Pope. This media massage is ridiculous and sad at the same time. The eternal truth says that one should pay the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and pay God what belongs to God. But any of the parties must not appropriate both sides of the coin.
Ne nadarmo se totalitní režimy snáží ovládnout i duši člověka. Ideologickou totalitu nahradila totalita konzumu. Doposud
jsem nenašel odpověď na záměrný bojkot nejsledovanějšího média u nás TV Nova, která nikdy nepodala informaci o zvolení
nového papeže. Je to až směšné i smutné, tato mediální masáž. Co je císařovo dávejte císaři a co je boží Bohu, je věčná
pravda. Ale nesmí ani jedna ani druhá strana, si přivlastnit obě strany mince.

Kondolenční kniha(Book of The Conndolence)

07.04.2005 KRAKOW, BIALY MARSZ, SETKI TYSIECY OSOB WYRUSZYLO SPRZED KOSCIOLA MARIACKIEGO NA BLONIA GDZIE ZOSTALA ODPRAWIONA MSZA W INTENCJI JANA PAWLA II, BLONIA , FOT. ADAM GOLEC / AGENCJA GAZETA
Jsem zvědav jak to tam dopadne, v Polsku zveřejnili agenta polských tajných služeb ve Vatikánu, který sloužil komunistům. My tu atmosféru máme už za sebou a oni teprve začínají, takže se neobyčejně vzrušují různými odhaleními. Mají úřad Institut národní paměti, který zveřejnil řádového kněze otce Hejmo, žijícího ve Vatikánu, jenž měl na starosti poutníky, které organizoval na papežské audience. Vtip je v tom, že výrok byl zveřejněn ale fakta budou zveřejněna až za 2-3 týdny, takže je spousta komentářů a spekulací a samozřejmě i obhajoba dotyčného agenta, který spolupráci nepodepsal ale věděl, že poskytuje informace antikomunistické tajné službě BND tehdejší NSR. A také dostal dvacetkrát honorář nepřímo přes jiné kněze jako pomoc pro studenta na studiích. Tehdy jako student měl pracovat ve vatikánském rozhlase, který ale řídí jezuité a jako dominikána ho nepřijali. Pak dostal od episkopátu za úkol sbírat veškeré informace z médií o církvi. Jeho řídící důstojník nedávno zemřel a nechce uvést jeho jméno aby nepoškodil jeho rodinu. Tento důstojník si nahrával pravidelně před ním jeho rozhovory. Představil se pod legendou polského emigranta žijícího v Kolíně, který materiály dodává německému episkopátu. Tento Polák ale byl důstojníkem komunistických polských tajných služeb. Druhá ale věc je, že v polovině sedmdesátých let, bez honoráře, sloužil tajným službám, je otázkou, zda vědomě. Na každého bohoslovce i kněze byli nasazeni špiclové. Takže všechno je doposud otázka spekulací, fakta nebyla předložena. Je jenom otázkou, proč zrovna teď krátce po smrti JP II se rozpoutala tato kampaň, kdy Poláci byli neuvěřitelně sjednoceni v žalu i v solidaritě, zejména mladí lidé.
