Give him a muzzle!

The term muzzle law is used to refer to norms that limit freedom of expression. The first law referred to in this way was an amendment to the criminal code from 2009. It forbade, for example, the publication of any information about wiretapping, with subsequent sanctions under the Act on the Protection of Personal Data, often today artfully wrapped in the magical acronym "GDPR", and in cases of greater seriousness, it could even be a criminal matter act of unauthorized handling of personal data. At the same time, the amendment increased the level of protection of victims of crimes against disclosure of their identity. At the time, all political clubs voted for the "muzzle law", including MPs who otherwise supported the protection of basic human rights. How significant! It didn't even matter that the proposal came from the communists, which is almost classical now. This law is dangerous with its creeping self-censorship that no one will ever accurately see and measure. In this way, the public will not find out what journalists and editors know, but they are afraid to write or broadcast it, especially about politicians and other important persons. I know my own about it.

For Radio ГA / ГA, profiled historically as a watchdog for the observance of human rights in the geopolitical dimension "from not seeing to not seeing" and relying in its "business plan" exclusively on freedom of speech and deep political analysis thinking, should be a "muzzle law" something like the proverbial red rag.

But what is the reality?

In versions 1.0 and lower, it was probably like that.

The days of radio receivers, subtly improved by a line of frequency bands for the transmission of its morning political programs, have been in the past in the local meadows and groves for 34 years. With its gradual upgrades to newer and more modern higher versions, the class enemy gradually disappeared from its vocabulary, then those radio receivers with those features (and those programs) disappeared, followed by the loss of principles, morals, objectivity and healthy criticism, so that the proverbial a plurality of opinions, ending with a black-and-white vision of the world with the only correct worldview.

So much for the introduction of this small, gender-neutral, political training for the team and non-team.

As posted in my last post Peace wishers and the others in point 6, I wondered, as I prepared my April appeals of both of my lost cases, whether I was the right judge the peace between me and Radio ГA / ГA really did everything. At the time, I was intensely stung by the question of whether even those at "the top of its food chain" knew about my findings and evidence, with which I had been feeding the ears of the court and their well-paid legal representative #MV ("Mgr. Prasátko") for two years. I still had the last vestiges of loyalty to my "alma mater" and I didn't want to fit into the role of a tailor from their "coat of shame" fashion collection.

That is why sometime at the end of February 2022, as is the custom during those long winter evenings, I decided to share these gifts with its "top" management.

It should have been a warning to me that my resignation was also selflessly signed by #KF ("Kristína Fšetko"), who, in addition to her tribal affection for my former superior and hero in one person #RC ("Remotely Controlled"), but she knew about as much about the background to this whole shenanigans as the average person knows about deer masturbation.

So that, God forbid, these findings of mine do not end up in the unauthorized hands of some of their "subspecies", I addressed them on 3/8/2022, in the form of an open bilingual letter, only to mailboxes and to the hands and eyes of all those, by God's will and #USAGM ("US Global Media"), exclusively and properly anointed.

The idea that, based on the information published in the email, they would thank me, take us both by the shoulders, and finally invite us definitively to their "Hagiborian corporate fortress" to explain and provide details to the information presented here, soon took hold. Although the company proudly claims in its moral and ethical code to fight against all immoral and dishonest, our experience was rather the opposite. It was written in detail in one of the previous articles The real Mirek Dušín.

In this 14-page letter, I tried to uncover the background of the entire security incident, its course, the detected oddities, the causes and, last but not least, the role of the individual actors involved in it. Even if it did not contain specific written and visual materials, there were several interesting Internet links that could be understood by a careful reader's eye as, if not interesting, then at least very suspicious.

According to an acquaintance - "if you want to know what (who) is behind it, follow the flow of money", I finally added a few suspicious transactions from the world of "financing not only in the IT department" as a bonus. I trusted that they would request the rest of the documents from us, or from their legal representation in the composition of #LA ("Dr. Leklá Andělka"), or from #MV ("Mgr. Prasátko"). After all both trials were public, the documents for both of our lawsuits are publicly part of both their files, and the public was not excluded from any of these proceedings due to their sensitivity!

And since I was also encouraged to do so by the valid internal company policy of Radio ГA / ГA number 4.15, I confided in them that even if we no longer breathe the same air, I am ready, even as an ex-employee, to talk about these suspicions with its control authorities OIG, and especially with #USAGM ("US Global Media"), as with its main patron and donor.

But I asked the bad guy.

Just when we thought that this factual document was lost in the abyss of the Internet and thanks to the blocking feints of Radio ГА / ГA known to me to the postal system with the clear aim of protecting the mental health of its employees and probably ended up on the right "black list" , after more than a month on April 12, 2022, we received the following brief answer, which I added in a Czech translation.

“Dear Sir,

Please accept this email on behalf of the management of the company, confirming the receipt of your email dated March 8, 2022. As you know, our company is represented by lawyers due to the current legal proceedings. For this reason, we will not engage in personal communication with you beyond the scope of our response to this email of yours, which we consider to be the baseless accusations you make in your letter. Please direct any further questions or comments to our lawyers."

In an attempt to prevent us, at least for the beginning, from some our youthful indiscretion, "Black Peter" was chosen by the head of HR to communicate with us this time, for the first and last time.

Although I would expect such an answer to come more from the head of the legal department of #LA ("Dr. Leklá Angelka"), but it is not excluded that in the end she was the right person who led her "anointed" hand and was also the executor of the order - " Give him the damn muzzle!.

I didn't plan to ask for a hearing and explanation of my findings at their law firm, so after their answer I focused more on preparing my appeals in previous lawsuits at the Prague Municipal Court. I foolishly believed that my original activity with the request for a hearing would not lead to any further legal conflicts.

However, other events were to confirm to me how deeply I was wrong.

The money went into the contract law firm's account along with a clear order to launch Operation Muzzle.

And so the day passed, and a week after my open letter, on 21/04/2022, a lawsuit from Radio ГA/ГA landed in my inbox. This time against me, bringing the number of lawsuits between us to 2:1 in my (dis)benefit. The text of the lawsuit was imposing an obligation to refrain from publishing confidential and sensitive information".

Together with the filing of the lawsuit, the attorney for Radio ГA/ГA proposed issuance of a preliminary injunction in the same wording as the petition. The proposal to issue a preliminary measure was justified by the fact that any disclosure of confidential and sensitive information concerning Radio ГА/ГA directly threatens the operation and security of Radio ГА/ГA, its employees and cooperating persons. Because of this significant risk, it is said to be necessary to temporarily adjust the relationship between the plaintiff and the defendant.

So let's start with this measure, which did not delay and had to be discussed, confirmed and decided by the court immediately.

So understood - if I disclosed the suspicions to their control authorities it could result in innocent people dying? I can think of a very apt word chucpe” , don't you think?

And as it is nowadays those correct narratives used for everything it is necessary to look for Russia, Belarus and Putin. It was my luck that I didn't end up with the "label" of a Russian cockroach and a pro-Russian desolate, and in the end I ended up being socially "kicked out". Thanks to these empty phrases, I again returned to February 2020, when she wrote in response to my first complaint about the illegal actions of Radio ГA / ГA against my person #KF("Kristína Fšetko"). Those sentences could be carved in stone.

---

“All steps and measures taken against you since December 2019 have been taken in accordance with all applicable laws and other legal regulations of the Czech Republic. We have always acted professionally and with full respect for applicable laws, the internal regulations of the Employer and our high moral standards.”

---

Furthermore, the well-known demagogic style continued.

After reading the following part of the delivered "preview" it became clear to me what turned them on the most there.

Criminal complaint against my supervisor who "hacked" my computer, read my communications on private emails with my lawyer, doctor, employment agencies (described in detail here ), or a criminal complaint against an unknown perpetrator for suspicion of stealing my identity with a request for an investigation at the "Personal Data Protection Office", when even after more than a year they were logging into the POSTSIGNUM portal with my identity (described in detail in the post here.

About the initiative to the "Labour Inspectorate" for violating the laws of the Czech Republic in the field of labor law, they did not mention "even ashes" here - it was probably not a flattering reading for them and I would like to discuss it with all of you who are interested in it, I will share it in one of the next posts.

In point 12, he did not forget to mention in his lawsuit our findings, namely again from open sources, about the possible connection of the judge to Radio ГA / ГA and about the wiretaps obtained, which clearly showed that she is anything but not "unbiased" towards us .

However, he forgot to mention the public confession of the same court, when again using the "information law" he admitted that 250 million crowns had been "laundered" through its account as a court escrow, thereby clearly warmed up his lawyer's spit according to the recipe at "his court" - look what he writes about you!

The fact that this his "yummy" will taste good to everyone but not to us, it was clear.

That this activity was selflessly taken up again by the same court panel "16C" of the District Court of Prague 10, which in both of my previous lawsuits, as well as in the lawsuits of my other former employees, decided fairly from the point of view of Radio ГA/ГA, it is not necessary to say. The only exception in the well-established system was that this time the "preliminary" verdict was not signed by his regular judge #JH ("Dr. Hustá"), but by her "valued" representative.

I would like to say something clever about crows, but decency and a muzzle advise me to say nothing.

For this time, I will ignore the non-standard method of delivering the lawsuit through the filing office of the District Court of Prague 10, even though the law firm has a data box for this type of communication, and I can clearly see their effort to influence the delivery of the lawsuit to the right hands.

But more on that in one of the next posts in the "Useful Links" section.

So, in conclusion, let me publish the plaintiff's "Motion for a preliminary injunction" against me, more specifically "what in the whole prelim to go", more precisely the part highlighted in red.

That the list of what I can't do seems like a well-fitting Bolshevik muzzle that no pre-November judge would be ashamed of?

Some bug watcher might even comment that, according to him, that I can only shuffle my feet and occasionally urinate irregularly.

Radio ГA/ГA hereby denied all its internal regulations on the protection of whistleblowers, which it revised itself in 2017 and led in the internal regulation under the designation 4.15. Here are a few excerpts from the policy, as I managed to translate them from English with my an unskilled hand.

​4.15 Whistleblower Protection Policy

Radio ГA/ГA is committed to high standards of ethical, honest and fair business conduct. Consistent with this principle and commitment, this policy provides a method and guidance for employees to report conduct that is illegal, fraudulent or violates Radio ГА/ГA internal regulations and ensures that employees are protected from retaliation for reporting such findings .

An employee who reports such behavior is known as a “whistleblower.”

4.15.1 No Retaliation

Radio ГA/ГA will not tolerate retaliation against whistleblowers.

Radio ГA/ГA employees who report any conduct by or within the company that is illegal, fraudulent or violates its policies will not be subjected to, and the company will not act against them in the form of intimidation, harassment, discrimination or any retaliation measures.

Other examples of prohibited retaliation include, but are not limited to, verbal or physical threats, reduced pay, bad job assignments, meaningless assignments, and termination of employment.

Any whistleblower who believes that he or she is being retaliated against should contact the responsible officer assigned to the matter. It is necessary to immediately contact the "Legal Representative of Radio ГA/ГA" or the "Risk and Compliance Officer" of the department.

An employee who retaliates against a whistleblower will be subject to disciplinary action, including possible termination of employment.

So many excerpts from the "Mirek Dušinovská" part of Radio ГA/ГA's internal policy, as, at the time of my employment, my employer was obliged to proudly fulfill it.

Before I say goodbye to you for today, I would like to quote a few points from the "Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms", especially its article 17.

---

What it says Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms?Article 17(1) Freedom of speech and the right to information are guaranteed.(2) Everyone has the right to express their opinions in words, writing, print, image or in any other way, as well as to freely seek, receive and disseminate ideas and information regardless of state borders.(3) Censorship is inadmissible.(4) Freedom of expression and the right to seek and disseminate information can be limited by law if it is a measure in a democratic society necessary for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others, the security of the state, public safety, the protection of public health and morals.(5) State bodies and local self-government bodies are obliged to provide information about their activities in a reasonable manner. Terms and execution are determined by law.

---

For this time, I will end with it, but I will return to it again in the introduction in the next posts. And at the very end, allow me a little epitaph.

I have been wearing the XXL size muzzle for the second year. It pushes everywhere behind my ears and its sharp edges prevent me from looking freely and straight at the world. I still refuse to bend down to get a better look over the edge of it.

Well, nothing, at least I can eat and drink, they wanted to tell me at the last court. And not breathing freely, I complete them with this.

Thank you to everyone involved for the gift, but especially to you, my beloved Radio ГA/ГA.

Then do you know why I am so grateful to you, my Radio ГA/ГA?

In 2004, I joined you as an "annoying radio station" and I was quite proud of it at the time. In 2020 I had to leave you as a "propaganda mouthpiece" and I'm glad today.

Holt, like ALJazeera you've never been 😉

I look forward to seeing you again and thank you in advance for sharing.

Only you and your interest make me come back here and write again.

Peace wishers and the others

In the era of narrative stickers, i.e. at the time of writing this post, it was not possible to find the meaning of the word "chcismír" on the web or on Wikipedia. That's why I used a very similar word - both visually and in meaning. It is known to everyone chcimír in the definition here, according to which this is a person who proposes to solve Russian aggression by having the West stop helping Ukraine. Howgh.

I will not and do not want to comment on this black and white vision of the world. It doesn't belong to me. Since I am not a political entomologist who would be able to determine, without extensive historical research, who is the "Russian cockroach" and who is the "American beetle" in this armed struggle. But since I'm afraid to publicly comment on this "sloppy" definition and on such a massively used label in this difficult time, and I don't want to end up somewhere "hidden" in KRIT, I will focus in this post on my own definition of the second, so similar in meaning, but which has not yet been sufficiently published and unsullied, namely the word "chcismír".

By definition, it is peace in civil court proceedings the agreement between the disputing parties, which will be approved at their request court and which thereby obtains the effects of a final judgment. It can be approved in a preliminary conciliation procedure, then it is a so-called praetorian conciliation, or already in the initiated court proceedings as a so-called court settlement , which will replace the court's decision on the matter. Both these types of reconciliation are the same in nature.

So let's put the events related to our search for peace in a more precise time frame and, as is customary in every good story, let's name the people and their cast at the time. Many of them are already notoriously known to you from previous posts, some of them only flashed in them and did not leave any deeper traces here due to their insignificance.

---

For Radio ГA / ГA, more precisely for its initial version 1.0, it was always a priority not to judge employees. As a "non-profitable" organisational component of a "non-profitable" company of a foreign state, doing business in local meadows and groves and boasting the deep moral legacy of Václav Havel, it was somehow unthinkable to get involved with "native" employees. The illusion was created that all employees belong together for one common goal of spreading democracy and the right worldview, regardless of the color of their passports or their position in the company's food chain. At that time, it was not at all strange that groups of "superhumans and subhumans" met after work in offices, common areas, or just for a cigarette or a drink in the main glass building, in smoking rooms, or in nearby pubs. Sometimes it creaked somewhere. Of course. But it always tried to solve it without washing dirty laundry in public and without dragging it out in competing media.

A certain exception were the events connected with the court battles of my two former foreign colleagues, which were written about in detail in the local newspapers at the time.

Their legal battle occupied various levels of the local courts for several years, and several domestic politicians tried to cook their own disgusting soup from these ingredients. A little of their story was published on the blog here in the post "I will make you unemployed".

Making the unemployed an employee on a foreign employment contract, not based on local legislation, without the protection of Czech labor law, and which had to be signed by him or her before he or she started, was one thing. However, getting rid of indigenous employees, working under the protection of the local Labor Code, was already "another cafe.

After the transformation of Radio ГA / ГA, especially after its upgrade to version 2.0, dating back to 2012-2014, a "new era" began in the local backyard. We covered this period in more detail in the post How to become persona non-grata”.

The foundations of this new "cooperative type" company model were successfully laid by the trio of Steve Korn, Dale Cohen and Donna Black. This then "top", along with a mix of other lower managers, sensing their new opportunity, began to put their ideas into practice. Due to the screeching and resistance not only of Czech employees, due to the massive use of pre-November totalitarian practices, a new class of "brown-nosed" helpers was born.

Even though the famous trio earned a red card from their Washington puppeteers after months of devastation in corporate relations and "at their own request out of grief for their families" returned behind the big puddle, the company with new fresh faces #KF ( "Kristina Fšetko"), #LA ("Dr. Leklá Andělka") and later with "downsizing specialists" of the type #MS ("Mr. Sushi"), continued the preset trajectory of building power.

On these solid foundations, machinery was gradually built by those willing persons, which, with the help of an external law firm, in my case the lawyer #MV ("Mgr. Prasátko"), financed with the money of the American taxpayer #UTP ("US Tax Payer") and #USAGM ("US Global Media") and with the help of a long-time cooperating "independent judge" of the district court #JH ("Dr. Hustá"), began to apply a "fire policy" to its own employees according to established pre-November templates. You can read more about these practices here “How do we do it? According to the template!”.

The fact that I was not the only one who felt and still feels this way can be found on the publicly available website ATMOSKOP here.

Especially this post is like a photocopier of the experiences I experienced here myself (free translation from English below).

​“People are nothing here. They can tell you that "as of today you are no longer working here, we have already blocked you from logging in, pack your things". The contract makes it possible to deal with people in this way. No communication, no feedback. Just in the last year they quit an architect and some senior developers... when they saw this other left company, recently a person who worked for 20 years left without any explanation, you don't even have a chance to write something to your colleagues: it's literally, your account is locked, you have one hour to collect your things or we will call our security and they will throw you out. No communication, no growth, no adequate management in the IT department.”

I can sign this opinion of an unknown contemporary at any time!

It is comical how the HR department here is trying to improve the poor evaluation of employees and push the reputation of Radio ГА / ГA into black numbers by publishing their anonymous posts. After all, it's their job, for which they should be given a standing ovation. Such typical propaganda 😉

Most employees affected in this way usually give up after the second point of the above template and clear the unpleasant legal battlefield due to legal superiority.

But there are also those who ended their fight with this superiority in peace, or even with a court win.

Especially the last case, which I will inform you about in one of the next posts, in many ways gave us hope for success even in this unequal struggle of ours.

---

1. The first attempt before the prosecution

It was February 2020 and I had just been "pumped". I was preparing a response to the dismissal and that's when I first confided to that select group that I don't like it and that I'm determined to sue Radio ГA / ГA.

At the time I thought I was "a real freak at this act". I later found out that my former colleague from the "Persian service" had overtaken me several months earlier, who, by the way, had successfully brought his case to the Constitutional Court in recent weeks.

After the initial scare (at least that's what I thought at the time) things started to happen!

At first, #MS ("Mr. Sushi") reacted to my proposal for reconciliation with a gangster question - "so how much?" and that he would then push my proposal further. It seemed strange to me, so according to the well-known saying "don't go to the blacksmith, go straight to the blacksmith", I asked for a meeting with someone who can decide on the matter. I thought that the "blacksmith" was #KF ("Kristina Fšetko"), after all, she signed a "letter and recommendation for the Labour Office". And so I explained my request to him.

The deadline was set for February 17, 2020, and for Radio ГA / ГA, a group of parliamentarians consisting of #LA ("Dr. Leklá Andělka"), #MS ("Mr. Sushi") and, just in case, were to look at my requests that I would accidentally start talking nonsense and insist, the team was strengthened by the superior of my then closest superior #RC ("Remotely Controlled"). I didn't like the fact that the conciliation was perceived as a 3:1 "knee-jerk" by them, so I suggested that in that case my legal representative would also participate.

The date has been set and agreed upon.

We didn't meet. Shortly before the meeting, I found out that my supervisor #RC ("Remotely Controlled") broke into my computer and read all the communications between me and my legal representative, between me and my family, the treating doctor and the employment agencies. You can read about what probably led him to this in the article Desperate people do desperate things.

This was followed by me filing a criminal complaint against this his illegal action, and since this self-proclaimed group of parliamentarians duly trivialized the whole thing and even justified his actions by striving "to spread goodness and democracy in the world", we unilaterally ended our participation in this "meeting" . The only satisfaction for us was that the "Police of the Czech Republic" and later the "Labor Inspectorate" described such behaviour of my superior as illegal and that this "American action hero" was forced to fly away to follow his friends behind a big puddle.

2. First attempt after prosecution

In June 2020, we were invited by Judge #JH ("Dr. Hustá") to appear in court and, in the form of a petition, tell her exactly what we expect from our two filed lawsuits. In persuading that the anti-discrimination lawsuit is unnecessary and that it is pointless to rely on the success of the first one on the invalidity of the termination, we were "politically indicated" that our efforts will be for many years and that it is not excluded that "we are bleeding financially".

Unkissed by the local district court, we finally did not give in and resolutely started the fight. We concluded that as a sign of good will on the part of the defendant, a few months' salary would be enough for the first lawsuit (as is the custom in this region anyway) and for the second, just a well-meaning and heartfelt apology .

She carefully wrote it down in her notes and subsequently dismissed us "with God".

A small flaw in the beauty was that there is no audio recording of this almost two-hour long "talking" with us and there were only a recording of two sentences, visibly created "ex-post". Supposedly no recording equipment was installed in the courtroom at that time.

You can read more about this first encounter with justice in the article How to clean clean to clean".

3. Second attempt after prosecution

It was the first days of 2021 and my legal representation in the form of my sister met the opposite party for the first time. Since I already had to "earn my daily bread" on the afternoon shift of a certain unnamed company, I did not participate in the meeting and only watched it from a distance. At that time, equipped with jointly agreed "notes" and with my power of attorney, she arrived at the court, where she met #MV ("Mgr. Piggy") "face to face" for the first time.

As it emerged from the audio recording, which always manages to raise my adrenaline and pressure, it was not an easy decision.

Judge #JH ("Dr. Hustá") pushed for both sides to express what would satisfy them as a result of the settlement. We have prepared our proposal in three variants. The opposing party, although equipped with a power of attorney to conclude a settlement, was unable to comment on the spot. He says he will need the client's approval, which he cannot arrange immediately over the phone.

In the end, the lawyer took 5 days and said he would call as far away as Washington. He responded to the argument that if they were firing me, they didn't need Washington's approval the remaining silent and repeating his demand for an adjournment persisted.

Within a week, we had a reply in our inbox with a raised intermediary finger and, of course, no counter-proposal.

In the end, all our other peace negotiations were carried out in a similar spirit. Perhaps with a small variation - this time the judge was also joining in with ideas. The article “How long does it take, doctor?”.

The legal department of Radio ГA / ГA started playing for time and our nerves, and our mediation trip to Brno was approaching.

Simply - you won't make me sad with a promise!

4. Attempting a Mediator

The trip to Brno in terms of the mediation settlement of our legal disputes ended ingloriously.

One would even like to say that it was a waste of time. And was it really?

On the other hand, we finally found out, (in)directly from the mouths of both parliamentarians #LA ("Dr. Leklá Andělka") and #MV (Mgr. Prasátko"), after their long argument in the corridor of the local mediation office, that my employee "bye bye" was not so much the result of an attack of the Russian hacker group STRONTIUM activities on the poor mailboxes of the local "tops", but rather as an effort on their part to perceive the whole thing as long-planned organisational changes in local IT.

Hence the 3 salaries (after 15 years of exemplary work for the company, I add).

In short - the comrade has been angry for a long time with his opinions.

As another significant bonus, we took home with lessons on how to properly wear a face mask and what is and is not decent behaviour from this "alternative city", as Brno has been called lately.

We understandably rejected their proposed "what we are - we are" in the form of 3 salaries, strictly in line with the Labor Code, with "thanks for the donations". You can read about how it all happened here “How long does it take, doctor?”.

5. Attempt using judicial

The year 2021 was filled with court cases in the matter of both our lawsuits, and since we still did not give up hope of our success in them, even the long-time contract judge of Radio ГA / ГA #JH ("Dr . Hustá”).

Here I would like to particularly appreciate her efforts to progress in these court proceedings by even trying to increase the original proposal of the opposing party from 3 to 5 salaries in one of the pending lawsuits. On the one hand, the "Civil and Judicial Code" basically imposes it on her. On the other hand, we understood her. After the experience, when we strictly demanded compliance with OSŘ from the leadership of her senate, neither she nor her superior wanted anything to do with us anymore.

Her proposal thus fit into the tense atmosphere of that court hearing.

Our argument was that we would rather accept any proposals from the legal representation present Radio ГA / ГA. Experience has told us that the legal representative, although he was and still is the holder of the authorisation to negotiate with us about reconciliation, was not and is not willing to do so from the beginning.

6. An attempt ala "what do you think, Mr. President"?

With our deep experiences from the course of mediation and from the background of negotiations with the representatives of the defendant Radio ГA / ГA, we wanted to share them with their newly changed corporate "top".

In my bilingual open letter, addressed on March 8, 2022, to selected persons from the company's management, I tried to summarise the findings and the resulting oddities surrounding my resignation.

On concrete facts and evidence, I tried to point out that I know much more about the background of the whole incident and that I am ready to inform their breadwinners, controllers and donors about it (USAGM, USAGM Watch and OIG).

My idea that, based on the information published in the email, they would thank me, take me by the shoulders, and finally invite me to their "corporate fortress" to explain and provide details, soon took hold. Although he still brags about this in his company's moral and ethical code, published at "all possible stations" and described in details in one of the previous articles The real Mirek Dušín, our reality was rather the opposite.

Obviously, after the initial horror of what the "worm and subspecies" had allowed themselves to do, and after several weeks of their breathing, when I already thought that I, as the sender of this email, had been "democratically blocked" again, only a short reply from the head of HR landed in my email.

Let's stop and think briefly about the text of this answer.

Radio ГA / ГA is represented against me by a prominent law firm and in my case by attorney #MV ("Mgr. Prasátko"). And that's a fact. It chose it for the field of labor law according to their assessment as "recommended law firm for the field of labor law". That's also a fact. Just as it was chosen by other important Czech companies – JACOBS DOUWE EGBERTS CZ, ŠKODA TRANSPORTATION, ING BANK, ČESKÉ AEROLINIE, F.X.MEILER Slaný and others. It's also a fact. And it seems - Radio ГA / ГA is in good company here. That's also a fact. It is also an understandable fact that these important corporations, often with foreign financial participation, want to have success in court for their considerable records.

However, I am not sure if a society, proudly advocating democratic values and traditions, powerfully waving a patent for spreading its concept of good in the world, with a historically declared specialisation in the field of human rights compliance, is globally, is willing to trade her 70-year tradition and existential reputation for something as down-to-earth as a court victory in a legal battle between a seasoned specialist lawyer who represents it and a former employee, a self-taught lawyer? And that even at the price of washing dirty laundry in the form of information about violations of Czech laws and principles, not to mention those that it advertises on each of its web pages?

You can probably understand that I was surprised by their answer.

I did not plan to continue hearing and explaining my findings at their law firm, so after their answer I focused more on preparing my appeals at the Prague Municipal Court. I foolishly believed that my original activity with the request for a hearing would not lead to any further legal conflicts.

However, other events were to confirm to me how deeply I was wrong.

Unbeknownst to me, another "unknown" namesake of mine had already started working on my reputation at this time, which was to portray me as untrustworthy and properly perverted in further court appeal battles.

As posted in one of our previous posts titled Simulakrum , I started doing harm on the "network of all networks", thanks to the lent publicity of the president of the court #RV ("Dr. Veverička"), as an alleged spreader of chain mails and, in fact, today also as a disinformator.

And in order to understand who is really here with the right worldview, the Radio ГA / ГA pissed me off with their advertised law firm "#MV ("Mgr. Prasátko") & Partners" with their "muzzle lawsuit".

This time they sent it against me.

And in order not to panic, in the form of a "preliminary measure", aka a judicial "preliminary", in other words - about me without me.

---

A preliminary measure consists in the fact that the court orders a party to the proceedings, or even a third party not involved, to do something, abstain from something or endure something. If conditions change after its order, the court can change or cancel them, but always such a preliminary measure automatically expires on the day it becomes decision the court in the matter executable. “

In layman's terms - keep silent, or...

But more on that in one of the next posts. I'm really looking forward to it!

7. Try with your attorney

In order to silence the last smoldering feeling that I did not do everything for peace between me and Radio ГA / ГA as a true "chci$mír", I asked in Slovakia, where I am in the meantime obtained citizenship and where I planned to move, a purebred Slovak lawyer to represent me in my quest for my "$peace on earth". After our mutual signing of the power of attorney, the lawyer - a typical representative of an older law school - contacted the lawyer of the opposing party #MV ("Mgr. Prasátko") with a request for a meeting and a request for cooperation.

Unfortunately, none of them happened, so this our latest effort ended in failure even before it started.

The lack of interest in a personal meeting with him and the behaviour of the Radio ГA / ГA attorney in the style - "we will get everything" and "you will be happy for nothing at all" I finally ended all activities on his recommendation.

---

He was a lawyer.

Without giving me false, well-paid hopes, he realistically suggested to terminate the contract and thus it will be not extra more money from me.

He said it makes no sense and that they are not about peace or reconciliation.

Would anyone else come to the same conclusion?

But more on that next time.

Karma is free

Karma (Sanskrit) or kamma (burn) in Buddhism refers to the ethical natural law of cause and effect. Simply put, according to this doctrine, selfish action causes suffering, while unselfish action brings happiness. From a Buddhist perspective, karma does not mean "fate", but can be translated as "action" or "cause and effect".

So much for the classical beginning of the definition of something that will run like a red thread throughout this post of mine. No, don't worry, it won't be "spiritual".

After #JH's (Dr. Hustá's) last speech at the court hearing on 2/11/2021, leading to an empty court bench and its two chairs and ending with her well-known refrain "in the name of the republic", we are in a cafe "Circus Café", located "a stone's throw" from the justice factory in Mičánky and with a name so characteristic of the events we just experienced, we were licking their fresh wounds. In the pleasant family atmosphere of this cafe, between sips of delicious cappuccino and bites of tasty "something" from the owner's home kitchen, we discussed our next plans and evaluated our next options. Somewhere here, between bites of this delicious bubbly, accompanied by my sister's stories of solving similar problems for her clients, I finally understood the content of the sentences she had been trying to tell me since the beginning of our struggle with these "windmills":

"You mustn't try to take revenge on them - after what I've seen and experienced here, it will only drain your energy unnecessarily. They count on it. And one day it will kill you. On the contrary, try to have fun with it".

Have fun? But what? That's masochism at its purest, isn't it?

I think that then, for the first time, in the framework of our coffee shop banter, the idea was born that we will probably lose all our disputes with Radio ГA / ГA anyway, and that it really isn't about justice anymore. It will be needed just to want to persevere and be honoured to finish this game according to their rules.

I wonder in vain when exactly I adopted this style of their "personal" struggle, when I stopped caring in what light and in what colours my former "alma mater" will be portrayed and how much dirty laundry I am willing to air about its God?

But more on that later.

After this "arm of justice" gave us 15 days to appeal by announcing her verdict, we started thinking about how to deal with this gallows term. 15 days, that's at least one weekend when I will be able to devote myself "full time" to preparing the appeal, but what about the rest? By the fact that this "fair woman" ended our first round of both lawsuits on the same day, after all, as she had planned from the beginning and as it was also heard in the wiretaps here and here, we had to appeal within 15 days and in both of them.

The preparation of the "appeal" for the Prague Municipal Court will require different ammunition! We both knew that. In addition, it would take some kind of lawyer, it sounded almost "in unison" from us at the time.

But where to "take and not steal" such a thing? The battle against time has begun.

With the "search", "Google" selflessly helped. But my inquiry about the status of my bank account did not help me with "not stealing". Poor guy, much decimated by the events of that fall 2019 (described here) and the expected "dard" for "court costs" to the lawyer of the opposing party #MV ("Mgr. Prasátko") for losing the first round, humorously described here, didn't offer me the opportunity to properly push myself in my fair fight against them in the "appeal". On the other hand, for the righteous duo #MV ("Mgr. Prasátko") and #LA ("Dr. Leklá Andělka") it was "different porn" - all they had to do was reach out and #KF ("Kristína Fšetko"), with kind help #USAGM ("US Global Media") and from the money of American taxpayers #UTP ("US Tax payer"), they are happy to seal this "bag" selflessly at any time. "Justification" - that is and was the important and correct word here, valid for every "sprinkling" here.

Fortunately, the law helped us with the missing time, specifically the institute of "blanket appeal". Over time, however, our father's sudden death also helped us in our misfortune, which we stated in our application as the reason for extending the appeal period. Thanks to this event, we also became orphans.

It's a shame. I wanted to brag to him so much that I really didn't give up and that we, together with my sister, finally won it all against them. Against Radio ГA / ГA!

And because karma is (un)fair, it made itself known to the other party as well. In the same year that we filed both lawsuits against Radio ГA / ГA, an event allegedly occurred in the family of their loyal "contract" female judge that no loving parent would want to experience. The death of a teenage daughter at the hands of a boyfriend and a murderer in one person was something you normally only read about in detective stories or on the pages of the tabloids. In addition, his name, so similar to mine, or our common Slovak origin, which was given to us by our birth, gave me a simple explanation for her bias towards us.

RIP to both.

But let's move on to less sad things, and as part of some legal education, allow me a sentence about this type of appeal.

Appellants file - so-called blank appeals - is mainly useful in order to obtain additional time to specify the grounds of appeal.

Although we did not know the financial costs associated with this decision of ours, we agreed on the following strategy at my father's funeral:

• For the "invalidity of the notice" claim, we will have an appeal created by a reputable law firm, preferably located on Wenceslas Square and "honoured" with several "Lawyer of the Year" ratings

• We will face the lawsuit against "discrimination and unequal treatment" and fight again with our own strength

• In order to save time (and some "money" before we find a lawyer on the market to represent us, we will send a "blanket appeal" prepared by ourselves to the Circuit Court for both lawsuits

I launched Google and started searching and reaching out.

While searching for suitable legal representation in the form of a lawyer who would meet my "ideas" as accurately as possible, which could be translated as the best possible "price/performance" ratio, I soon understood that the fulfilment of this task would be, even with regard to for the time remaining until our appeal is filed, a superhuman feat.

Not that there are not enough lawyers in the lawyer's bed. There's even a "chamber" full of them, willing and ready to help you and, I believe, defend you!

Unfortunately, their membership here is not a guarantee that they will not shave you like a sheep at every opportunity, and as a bonus to all this they will add the reality of a cleaning your bank account. The idea that JUDr. Tomáš Sokol will represent me in my fair fight for my brown eyes, I therefore rejected with a heavy heart and a tear in my eye. Instead, I began to focus my search on the á-la category of slightly more expensive "Ex Offo" lawyers. I soon learned that such benefactors really do not exist.

The idea that it would be a status honor and a challenge for a freelance lawyer to compete with the legal representation of Radio ГA / ГA, it also soon took for granted. In several cases, I even encountered the fact that some of them did not even want to get professionally involved with this standard of American democracy. Maybe the reputation and long tentacles of Aspen Institute Central Europe would work? I really do not know.

However, the deadline was inexorably approaching, so we sent the following request to the District Court for Prague 10 and to the hands of #JH ("Dr. Hustá").

It didn't take long before our "blanket appeals" in both lawsuits were sent with the blessing of #JH ("Dr. Hustá") to the Municipal Court of Prague and we, equipped with prescribed masks, determinedly set out for the arranged meeting in the center of Prague.

The goal was clear – to find a lawyer quickly! What's more, find the ideal lawyer!

He should have been a lawyer, according to our ideas, Mr. Lawyer. No quick kvass, or a sloppy Pilsen law university graduant! Rather older, grizzled, seasoned in court battles, crowned with victories in them, having his work as a selfless hobby and taking new cases only as another challenge. That someone like that is really just an idealistic character from a stupid legal series, we should have known soon.

At the agreed time, we were picked up at the reception of the well-known law firm "She & He" in the center of Prague by a thirty-year-old double master with carefully cut dark hair with brilliant highlights, in a well-fitting suit from Blažek and boots from the same company. After a few polite phrases and over a late "café" from an ecological cup, we soon moved in our debate to the merits of the whole matter.

According to the price list published on their internet site, the basic duration of the meeting with the client was set at 45 minutes at a price of CZK 1,800, while the 20-minute warm-up meeting was completely free. It is normal that for the first 20 minutes you will only talk about the weather, possibly about any procedural actions and intended procedures, so we expected the only meaningful result from this meeting in the following 45 minutes.

Those of you who have been following my story from the beginning you will surely agree that it is truly a superhuman feat to tell about all my troubles in just one hour. So we focused on the essentials of our whole story and mainly on "what it would be like if we slapped each other". We were particularly interested in how the lawyer sees it through his lens and what are our chances here?

It would be naive to think that we will leave this first meeting together with a clear offer. However, at the end of the session, which went like water for our side, even something like a "fahrplan" was born. And as we could not help but notice the attorney's fierce battle with fatigue as the end of our meeting drew to a close, manifesting himself more and more often in an unsuccessful battle with hidden yawns, we said him goodbye and promised to consider his offer of representation.

So what was the offer? I will answer after a short introduction.

As described in one of our posts here, due to the circuit court's very original way of filing both of our lawsuits, curiously enough, our file size swelled and began to approach the size, due to extensive attachments and audio recordings, high quality novels like "War and Peace". So we haven't even really moved yet and we've already filled the smaller TESCO cart, I thought to myself at the time. This legal effort of theirs has resulted in the fact that if you finally find a lawyer and ask him to represent you, he will logically ask for time to familiarise himself with the case before his "résumé". That means - read and listen to everything.

Unfortunately, your "dog eye" and your possible persuasive talent won't help you at all. It's just a business like any other, and his right to know the merits of the matter before deciding whether or not to go with you, it is logical.

And how is such familiarisation with the case priced? The price is determined by agreement.

When I go back in my head over the course of our meeting at that time, I can't get rid of the feeling that his first stare happened somewhere shortly after the estimated price for studying my files. He probably expected applause for such an amazing offer, which, for reasons unknown to him, we did not properly appreciate. I really do not know. I just didn't have the experience before. Instead, he received only additional questions from us about what is included in the price and whether it is the final price or just the "first dig".

The awkwardness of the moment was not saved even by our appeal to his feelings, that I am simply "almost a social case", illegally dumped on the pavement just before my retirement, and that we see this case as his clear win, which he can handle without breaking a sweat and with a slight left rear.

We didn't convince…

So what was the price that "does not refuse"?

The first offer was roughly 70,000 CZK and it was only for the "first dig" and without VAT, which is no longer important today. But the more important fact was that it was only a matter of several hours of reading the file, ending with a statement that it would go ahead or not. No certainty, only some kind of hope with a view to the future. But most importantly, if it goes ahead, other similar amounts will follow in quick succession.

Perhaps, during our initial interview, we lured him to the prospect of almost a million in winnings in the event of his winning the dispute, and thus to the fact that we would have something to "spoil" him properly. This too may have played a role in his thought processes. Maybe, who knows?

Anyway, he subsequently reduced his offer to CZK 30,000 "for that mere calculation", but with a definitive postscript that said it all - "take it or leave it"! It's just a pity that our original offer in the form of several tens of percent of the settled amount as his share of the success in this dispute left him cold. Holt, he chose the non-business "better a sparrow in a handful than a pigeon on the roof". And there is nothing to be surprised about, one could say with the passage of time.

And so I immediately sent the 1,800 CZK from my account for our joint loss of time and also for the priceless experience of learning how things work here with the legal services.

Thanks to this, today I know how much the law firm will cost #MV (Dr. Prasátko”) and I already have an idea of how the American taxpayers #UTP ("US Tax payer") must be generous to protect the moral integrity and reputation of Radio ГA / ГA.

So let's start with Mr. Double Master's offer.

The advance invoice for more than 36,000 CZK for work that had not yet been done arrived in my mailbox on time. However, it was never paid. Instead, that karma worked and we suddenly started having completely different problems. In the end, the money for assisting justice was swallowed up by completely different events, connected with the organization of the funeral and the settlement of the will.

Covid Christmas 2021 was still approaching and many people in our country wished to experience a better year than the one that was just ending in the company of covid masks.

But I had no idea that my decision to appeal against the decisions of the first instance cour and my complaints addressed to the Ministry of Justice of the Czech Republic, would help my other and worse non-binary "me" come into the world.

I additionally named it "Simulakrum" - after all, like his whole story here

On Monday 13/12/2021, we buried our father and entered the next battles against Radio ГA / ГA in the familiar unchanged line-up.

Just me and my sister again.
