There were five of them...

Five years in a person's life is a period that leaves a mark on them in many ways.
If this period is just after his first breath, it is usually the most carefree. Everything then comes and goes by itself – the first teeth, timid steps followed by falls, diaper rash, the first garbled words later put together into sentences, original ideas and novel opinions. He is guided, pampered and protected by ones surroundings, so that in addition to a few bruises and bumps on ones body, he or she does not also get a bruise and a scar on his or her soul from life.
But one fine day, this baby teeth will disappear and be replaced by teeth that can bite dangerously, and ones rambling childish sentences can suddenly turn into a dangerous, double-edged adult weapon.

"Five years ago", that is, at a time when a dirty game of thrones was taking place behind a large puddle of our ideological role models, at a time when the words "narrative", "disinformation", "hybrid threat", "valued politics" or "democracy with adjectives" were only items in the dictionary of foreign words, and when an irreconcilable battle was brewing in the local puddles and groves about "to be vaccinated or not", or "if you are caught without a mask - your passport will be cut up for it", the other day the top brass of Radio ГA / ГA decided to solve their acute "IT" problem in a short meeting. Just a few weeks earlier, they had fought an unequal battle for their management's email data with Russian hackers from the APT28 group, and since things ultimately turned out badly for the locals in this case, it was necessary to draw the appropriate value "lesson" from this ordeal.
In the spirit of their deep moral traditions and established internal procedures, on January 20, 2020, they decided to solve this problem once and for all.
"In the Bolshevik way" and somehow "about him without him"!
In order not to let the reputation of their fellow tribe member #RC ("Remotely Controlled"), who boasts a managerial displacement of a black water buffalo on the surface of Liptovská Mara , but is firmly and devotedly anchored in the anal wreath of #KF ("Kristína Fšecko"), the same lady decided to take the traditional and tried-and-tested approach. Rested, with newly acquired strength after returning from the Christmas holidays "at her home", on January 15, 2020, she signed her resignation with the ease of an Anglo-Saxon.
According to the established Slovak saying - "it's our custom, borrow evidence" - she was promoted to the execution circle one floor lower.
Time was now working against them. They only had 10 days left to apply the highest "g" paragraph of the Labor Code for immediate dismissal. The lower paragraphs were a bit more rubbery for them, and most importantly, they did not have the right intimidating effect. They did not want to get into a situation where, God forbid, someone could poke around in it, or that someone would comment on the findings of the Microsoft auditors, which only they knew, with even one sentence!
From the commented report, she guessed that things were not looking very good for Radio ГA / ГA, and especially for #RC (“Remotely Controlled”). And since she knew about this “thing” issue, as it was generally known, “nothing”, he rushed to help her, in a lackey-like manner, as was characteristic of him, in writing this statement with his guaranteed correct version.
From the beginning, it was a collective activity, carried out in the mode of an extended division of labor. One wrote, another signed, a third delivered, and a fourth and fifth intimidated.

As written, the first two were already somehow interested. The rest were waiting for their share of "ear-scratching".
The third in the team of helpful people, meaning "a party of useful idiots", was #MS ("Mr.Sushi"), boasting of his rich "downsizing" experience on his personal LINKED-In page.
The task was clear for him - to deliver the notice at all costs, no later than January 25, 2020!
It suddenly came in handy for him that on December 17, 2019, he had already insured himself by handing over a pamphlet "about obstacles on the employer's side", which the recipients were forced to sign under the careful supervision of the main organiser of #RC ("Remotely Controlled"). At that time, still not knowing the exact reasons for their excessive activity, he signed. He no longer wanted to have anything to do with Radio ГA / ГA and this delightful group.
The boulder that fell from the hearts of both participants in this "session" shook the silence and darkness of his office.
After signing the statement from #KF ("Kristína Fšecko"), they had only one "little thing" left - to somehow deliver it to the right hands and somehow force him to sign it. Preferably with the date of delivery and signature. If there is also the number of some personal document, it will be a little icing on the cake for everyone involved in this bag-making. For their diligence, of course.
But how to arrange it?
They thought it could happen as a signing event on December 17, 2019. But how to deliver the damned resignation on the required date so that he doesn't get angry when he receives it? And most importantly, so that he finally keeps quiet about it all ?
Back in December, it was easy. All you had to do was catch him during working hours in the corridor of the "Hagibor Fortress", shove a pencil into his hand and threaten him - "Will you sign, or...?" Let's admit that at that time, in his old naivety, he probably didn't understand the word "or".
It doesn't matter, it's "pasé" anyway.
But now they knew he was at home sick leave and would not be rushing to their "fetch" to work. Moreover, he began to smell a faint "desolate odor" from their behaviour.
That's why , like some B-rated pervert, #MS ("Mr.Sushi") tried to lure him into "something" that he had to tell him "later" in person, and that he would give him that "something" in his office. There was "not a word" about signing anything that could not be delayed in his offers of "quality conversation".
He imagined his blue, guileless gaze as he whispered his "screws to the head" into the earpiece of his old "Samsung" phone.
He failed.
On the contrary, he only achieved that his boundless loyalty to this then still their common institution began to approach zero . On the contrary, suspicion of their (un)goodness grew infinitely .
When things didn't go well, he started the hard way. He unleashed psychological terror with threatening phone calls and persuasive emails.
When he announced that he was definitely not going to meet him "face to face" during his illness, which he knew about and which he had actually brought on himself through his excessive care of him in recent weeks, they unanimously delegated this complicated problem to another all-powerful "useful idiot" in reserve. This time to the legal department & co.
Here too, they all put their heads together and, in the spirit of their deep moral traditions, sharpened by frequent watching of endless detective series on unnamed internet channels, they prepared a plan that any con artist could envy. In any case, if it weren't for his then still boundless trust in the system , and especially thanks to the then high doses of sedatives that he had been "incessantly" pouring into himself in the last few days, this plan of theirs, bearing the unquestionable handwriting of the fourth of the #LA party ("Leklá Andělka"), would never have succeeded.
And so on January 20, 2020, after returning home "on a whim" from a "crazy place" called the Bohnice Psychiatric Hospital , where he was sent in a poor mental state by the local attending physician from Radio ГA / ГA, on the same day, an unknown person with the pseudonym "policeman" suddenly rang his doorbell.

When he requested to check his personal documents and verified that he was "the right one for him", he handed him several papers, which he ordered him to sign before handing over.
On their carefully covered part, of course.
When the door of his apartment was hurriedly closed behind him, he was holding in his hands, at the age of 58, his first statement of his life.
Everyone, except him, had their day off that day. He did too, actually – after exactly 15 years, 1 month and 20 days of service for Radio ГA / ГA .
Somewhere there was celebration, somewhere there was crying.

On this date, one stage of his professional life unexpectedly ended for him. With its end, however, he got the opportunity to practically experience how our legal system works, especially how the executive and judicial powers work, how the labor market with "early retirees" works during the "lockdown". He often remembered that time five years ago, when he had no idea how to fight against various "scumbags", how to write an interesting CV, a lawsuit, a criminal report, a complaint, a suggestion, or how to just ask a question (legally). And certainly not how to resist the next threats of the fifth member of their successful party - their related and decently paid law firm, represented by #MV (Mgr.Prasátko) - especially against their latest collective masterstroke in the form of a "lobotomy" organised and ordered by the court.
Suddenly, a world opened up to him, about the functioning of which he had very naive ideas.
He began to understand the meaning of the symbols of the goddess of justice "Justitie", especially why she is blindfolded.
And also that the courts are really, in most cases, just a sports ground for the rich .

The events of January 20, 2020, described in this short post today, are remembered every year again and again. This time it will be the fifth time, and if the court or the gentleman with the strange German name do not erase these events from his mind, we will remember them with him here and with you again in a year.
Maybe it will be in new times. Who knows?
This year's anniversary could be a possible trigger. The ice has moved and the first major social networks and public websites are reportedly lifting censorship .
No, it's not yet "the kingdom of King Miroslav". There's no singing to speak of yet. But at least you can jump up...
And how will Radio ГA / ГA respond to this new wind?
We'll see.
The "watchdog website" USAGMWATCH is already writing about the changes in its friendly state organization here . We'll see how its private donors will now get their act together and how they will affect it.
Perhaps the power astronomical clock will turn again at Radio ГA / ГA, as it did during these anniversary days at the beginning of 2021.
We'll just see.
The end of the year is a time for taking stock and making plans for the coming year.
So I'll start with the assessment.
During the time we have been meeting here, a decent group of people with the "free +" blood type has formed here and it is a great pleasure for us that their number is still growing. Even though we meet on other discussion forums, we write to each other via other private emails, we are still in touch and we are very grateful for sharing this common positive deviation of ours .
Thanks to your interest, we are seriously considering your idea of "putting it all in book form."
We are currently looking for a publisher (based on our experience, it will probably be in Slovakia) and are thinking about a catchy cover and title for the book. Although we have a certain idea, any other ideas will be welcome. Shall we try a survey? I believe that soon we will have the written materials ready and ready for printing. But it requires patience, which in our conditions is synonymous with time and, above all, money.
No plans can be fulfilled without the most important thing – without health, faith and hope . Therefore, in conclusion, I wish for all of us here – that none of these "things" leave us in the coming year.
