Dr. Robert Cholensky: "Mr. Witness, how many jobs did you hold before you became a prosecutor?": Retired prosecutor JUDr. Leo Foltýn: Trained as an auto mechanic, then officer's school, followed by the ministry, back to civilian profession, dispatcher for ČSAD, head of transport, then return to the civil service, deputy chairman of the city, completed law studies, left in December 1990, was approached as a lawyer in a company, became deputy, then approached by the judiciary, was to start as a judge in waiting, three prosecutors left for judgeships, there was no vacancy, recommended to the CSA Brno in 1993, then 10 years at the OSZ and then at the KSZ.
Today the Czech justice system needs such people - he can solve "banal things" only by telephone, today he does not know, he does not remember, only when it is not essential, his memory serves him well! Foltýn, a "poor" pensioner, was not ashamed to ask for reimbursement of expenses as a witness, apparently he had saved little and had a low pension... At the end, David Šimon gave a great speech, telling Foltýn what he deserved. I responded by calling for Foltýn to apologise to both convicts for stealing 11 years of their lives. The judge again reprimanded me and warned me of disqualification from the hearing. Fortunately, my apology was enough. I only said what the horrified public present thought. They had witnessed an injustice reminiscent of the 1950s...
JUDGE Robert Fremr could not offer similar "qualifications". He was a judge of the International Criminal Court for 20 years. He was unlucky not to have trained as an auto mechanic...

The ruling of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic II. 2672/07, which states, among other things: It is therefore not possible to exclude partial components resulting from the principle of publicity of court proceedings just because they are not expressly regulated by law. It can be concluded that the presence of the public, whether in person or through visual or audio transmission or recording, cannot simply or automatically be denied or excluded without there being a relevant reason for doing so, otherwise it is arbitrary.

"For conservatives, the transcendental dimension of life in all its forms is an integral part of the concern for a just and human nature-appropriate order of, if possible, stable and evolutionary political and cultural institutions. Hence their opposition to revolutions, to the violent uprooting of people from local traditions and customs, to indoctrination, to selective education designed only to produce a docile workforce."
"There were [in the samizdat publication of committees from The Salisbury Review edited by Roger Scruton] and still are the first attempts to understand the artificially and violently liquidated ways of thinking and acting, for generations based on such supporting social institutions as the family, the school, the churches, morality and law, which, by encouraging organic and carefully structured growth from the top down and vice versa, created the conditions for the smooth development of civil society."

Dear Mr. Jan Šinágl,
Please allow us to continue to tell you what has happened in the resolution of our years-long dispute with our neighbours Irena and Ladislav Steininger, which has been going on since 2007 until today. This seemingly unsolvable dispute over 11 cm in length, 330 cm, where our basement construction under the future garage extends over this tiny triangular-shaped section, allegedly onto the land of the aforementioned neighbours, who have no will to agree to end this senseless dispute and gloatingly insist that the basement construction be removed because it is private property that is inviolable….

Psychopaths, nonsensical laws and corruption at all levels of the country's governance are increasingly controlling us. We are heading for a moral and economic collapse, well deserved if we don't start behaving like the Helen and Zdeněk Petrů. I will at least help them by continuing to acquaint the public with their horrific story. Not even Franz Kafka could have invented it. JŠ

For years I have been applying to events organised by the Institute for Politics and Society. If I am interested in an event, I sign up immediately after receiving an invitation. I did so for today's event in the House of Commons on the topic: Freedom of Speech and Combating Disinformation. The day before the event, I received the email below. This is the first time this has happened to me. Perhaps the event was filled with registrants immediately. However, with a large hall filling to capacity, within minutes, it seems pretty unlikely to me, even though the topic is very topical.
I can't help feeling that for certain organisations and their representatives I am becoming "persona non grata", in all modesty. It started in Vienna, where Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky (7.11.2023) sent the Austrian police after me without my having committed any unacceptable behaviour. It continued in Prague (15.4.2024), when a "hidden censor" intervened and prevented public discussion, threatening "dangerous questions" - see links to articles below.
