The asymmetry of the Nuremberg process, in which only Nazi crimes were judged, while the crimes of the Soviet regime were not, is considered the "original sin" of the world order, raising questions about the difficulties in carrying out similar processes in the future, including the potential judgment of Vladimir Putin.

We should all care primarily about the safety of Poland and Poles. That's why I don't understand one thing: inciting against Ukrainians and calling for an end to assistance to Ukraine. We can discuss the scale, costs, and form of this assistance, but Poland's basic interest is simple - the higher the price Russia pays for its aggression against Ukraine, the less threat it poses to our region. Ukraine defending itself against Russia is in Poland's security interest, regardless of whether someone likes Ukrainians or not. That's why I don't understand why part of the Confederation builds its narrative so strongly on aversion to Ukraine and Ukrainians. And here comes a simple question: are you really concerned about the security of Poland, or is it just about playing on emotions and building electoral support? (translated)

Mr. Grzegorz, I read the entire justification. And I agree with one thing – legal analysis cannot be replaced with the label of a "neo-judge," because that is not an argument 🤷‍♂️ However, the justification itself, although extensive and internally organized, in my opinion leaves two very serious legal problems. The first concerns Article 281 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The provision states that in preparatory proceedings, a "blanket warrant" can be issued at the request of the prosecutor or in the absence of their objection. Here, the prosecutor filed an objection. The court does not challenge the wording of the provision. It consciously deviates from it, considering that the binding objection of the prosecutor would violate the court's jurisdictional independence. It references Article 8 § 1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 178 paragraph 1 of the Constitution, Article 6 of the ECHR, Article 47 of the KPP, and part of the case law of appellate courts. This is a legal argument. But there is also an opposing line of case law, based precisely on the linguistic interpretation of Article 281 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which the court itself notes in the justification. I wrote about this yesterday. So it is not the case that there is no problem. There is a very serious dispute about the limits of interpretation contra legem and whether the court can practically deprive the premise, which the legislator explicitly included in the provision. The second problem I have is with the prognostic assessment. The court acknowledges that Romanowski left Poland, did not appear for the hearing concerning the temporary arrest, was outside the reach of Polish authorities, and even informed in his own application that he has a passport issued under a different identity 🤷‍♂️ The court considers these circumstances to be burdensome but then assumes that they cannot determine the assessment because one should look at it primarily prospectively. 🤔 And this is where I have the greatest doubt. The prediction of a suspect's future behavior does not occur in a vacuum. Its foundational material is, after all, their past behavior. 🤷‍♂️ If a person involved in the proceedings previously did not comply with procedural mechanisms, left the country, and remained outside the reach of the authorities, then their later declaration that from this moment they will comply with the conditions of the "blanket warrant" must be subjected to particularly rigorous assessment. The court may conclude that despite this, the risk has currently diminished. But it should convincingly demonstrate why specific past behaviors have lost their prognostic significance. Because if we are to predict a person’s future behavior while disregarding their past behavior, then a rather fundamental question arises - on what basis are we actually building this prediction? 🤷‍♂️ Therefore, I would not dismiss this ruling with the label of a neo-judge, but I would also not say that the problem ends with the justification sounding rational. A rationally constructed justification can still lead to a legally debatable result. In my opinion, this is exactly the kind of case we are dealing with here. The argumentation of the court is clear and can be recounted, but both the way of breaking the literal wording of Article 281 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the prognostic assessment of the suspect's behavior leave significant legal doubts. If I were to rule on this matter, I would not grant the application. Firstly – due to the prosecutor's objection and the content of Article 281 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Secondly – even accepting a different interpretation of this provision, I would not find sufficient grounds for a positive prognostic assessment. This is not about punishing Romanowski for the past. It is about assessing whether his past behavior allows rationally to assume that from this moment he will respect the obligations arising from the "blanket warrant." In my opinion – it does not allow 🤷‍♂️ And that is precisely why there is an appellate review. (translated)

When a people abandon their roots, they become weak. History and social sciences show that a void is always filled. If we do not stand behind our own values, a system that does not recognize Western freedoms, women's rights, or freedom of speech will step in. At the same time, the power games of politicians drive decisions that forget the interests of future generations in pursuit of easy votes. I recommend everyone read the New Testament from the Bible for the sake of general knowledge. Familiarize yourself with Jesus' teachings and consider where the best values of our society originate. If you wish, also read the Quran and compare them to each other. Message me if you decide to start reading them; I want to hear your thoughts. I have also created a community on Instagram where you can take a peek behind the scenes and discuss with me and others who share similar interests. Together, we can make a change! Share this video if you feel that every Finn should wake up to defend our Christian value base. (translated)

The press conference today clarified the suspicions related to parliamentarians' homes. According to Speaker Halla-aho, there is a significant number of cases. It is suspected that residences have been entered in the absence of the representatives. No signs of forced entry have been found, and nothing has been stolen, but traces have been left in the homes. The suspicions involve members of different parties, and the first case may go back as far as a year. There is currently no confirmed information about the perpetrator or motive. The background may involve criminal activity, harassment or stalking targeted at individual politicians, domestic extremist groups, or the actions of a foreign state. Not all reported cases may necessarily be related to each other. Now, it is the police's task to distinguish real intrusions from other observations and investigate possible connections between them. The possibility of a state actor must still be taken seriously. An especially interesting detail is the marks left in the homes. If the intention were solely to obtain information secretly, a successful intrusion would fundamentally be attempted to be concealed. If, instead, traces are deliberately left behind, being noticed may itself be part of the operation. In that case, intelligence is combined with psychological influence. Such methods are known in the history of Russian security services. There have been intrusions into the homes of diplomats, officials, and other individuals deemed interesting, with deliberate traces left behind. This does not prove anything about the perpetrators of these cases. It indicates why the possibility of a foreign state’s action must be thoroughly investigated. If it ultimately turns out to be state influence, the selection of targets would in itself be significant. Parliamentarians decide on Finland's defense policy, NATO cooperation, support for Ukraine, relations with Russia, and numerous other decisions in which foreign states may have strong interests. Coercion does not have to mean an attempt to change one vote in a single ballot. The aim could also be to gather information, map networks and vulnerabilities, or generate uncertainty about whether the consequences of political decisions extend to an individual's own home and loved ones. That is why Finland now needs a more open discussion about the kind of foreign intelligence, influence, and pressure directed at it. Confidential information should not be disclosed, but Finns should have a realistic understanding of the security environment in which we live and whether its change requires anything from decision-makers, companies, or ordinary people. And above all, keep a cool head. If the purpose of such acts turns out to be to generate fear and uncertainty in Finland, that is precisely the effect that should not be allowed. Serious suspicions will be investigated, efforts will be made to identify the perpetrators, and appropriate action will be taken if necessary. Finland's decisions will continue to be made in Finland, without fear and pressure. (translated)

"Do these immigrants think that Finnish taxpayers pay for adult immigrants' student loans too? "I don't think it's fair that you have to live on loans already in elementary school," Mohammed says. Some students first learn to write using the Latin alphabet. They start their studies in a literacy group that lasts a year. - This means they have to live on loans for two years after elementary school," Mohammed says." The question is why we need such large numbers of illiterate adults to be supported by taxpayers? Perhaps so that our prisons remain full?" (translated)

IS reports today that some members of parliament's homes have already been breached. This new information makes the situation significantly more serious. It is no longer just a potential threat. As I mentioned earlier, this method of operation inevitably raises the issue of Russia. The Russian security services have a long history of similar actions. Breaching homes can gather information, but it can also demonstrate to the target that even their most private space can be accessed. If the incidents now revealed involve the actions of a foreign state, we are talking about very serious interference in Finnish democracy. At the same time, Finland now needs a much more open discussion about how foreign states operate here. What is really happening in Finland, what kinds of methods of influence and pressure are being directed at us, and what does the changed situation require from authorities, society, and possibly also ordinary Finns? Of course, not all information from authorities can be made public. However, that does not mean that we should remain silent about the phenomenon itself. People find it difficult to recognize foreign influence or prepare for it if we cannot talk about it openly. In this situation, whispering does not increase security. An open society defends itself best by understanding what is being done against it, keeping a cool head, and making it clear that Finnish democracy is not being pressured by fear. (translated)

How to build a career in your parents' company? 1. Don't take the vice president position right away. You need to learn the company from the ground up. Starting as a senior manager would be reasonable. Let everyone see that you're climbing step by step. 2. Don't say you got the job through connections. Say that the owners recognized your potential. Your father has been watching your development for 23 years. No recruiter has spent as much time with the other candidates. 3. Earn the respect of older employees. Don't worry that some of them have been with the company longer than you've been alive. They have experience. You have a fresh perspective. And the owner's phone number saved as "Dad." 4. Don't misuse your position. Treat your father at work like any other boss. If you disagree on something, discuss it professionally. Preferably on a Sunday over chicken soup. 5. Start making changes. After three weeks in the company, you should already notice things that people who have worked there for twenty years don't see. It's natural. They are tainted by experience. 6. Show that you also started from the bottom. From time to time, go down to regular employees and help them for half an hour. It's best to take a picture. In a few years, you will be able to say that you have gone through every level in the company. 7. Don't demand a promotion. Let it come naturally. Manager. Director. Board member. President. Don't rush. You have a full two years for that. 8. Separate your professional life from your personal life. At work, your father is your boss. At home, he is your father. Therefore, leave the conversation about bonuses for the holidays. Grandma can be a good mediator. 9. Ensure financial independence from your parents. Don't take money from them privately. You're not a child anymore. Let the company pay for the car, phone, and fuel card. That's a completely different relationship. 10. After years, tell your story on LinkedIn. Write that you started from zero. That you didn't get anything for free. That the most important things were hard work, humility, and consistency. Don't mention the company from your father. They asked about the road to success. #FIRE (translated)
