John Bingham wrote that Jacek Dobrzyński from ORMO and an unidentified woman claimed that the media had been calling them since morning regarding an email containing a threat of an attack. Bingham called their explanation regarding the decision to issue a statement on the matter a scandalous lie. He added that the media would not have been calling if they had not known about the email beforehand, and that this knowledge had to have come from them. https://t.co/yJkPsTc2qR #polska #media #skandal (translated)

John Bingham wrote that in his opinion it has been confirmed that any person could send a threatening email, and the organized political group of Donald Tusk activated CAT ABW, issued public statements, and organized a meeting between the police and the services, creating an atmosphere of threat. https://t.co/fZ6BysirCC #polityka #bezpieczeństwo #Polska (translated)

John Bingham described the ruling team as cynical and claimed that it based its maintenance of power on manipulation and political PR. He expected the media to ask about the issue of the "assassination attempt on the prime minister": whether the threat signal was confirmed before the announcement was published, who decided to make it public, and what effect it was supposed to have on security. He also asked whether the decision was consulted with the ABW (Internal Security Agency) and SOP (Government Protective Bureau), whether an update was to be provided after assessing the credibility of the threat, and what operational or protective benefit announcing the possibility of an assassination on the highest representatives of the authorities gave before presenting the verification results. #polityka #media #bezpieczeństwo (translated)

John Bingham wrote that in May 2019, three teenagers repeatedly attacked younger students at school and, threatening them with a knife, forced them to give them money. He stated that one of the assailants was Mikołaj Bodnar, the son of the then Ombudsman, and the sentence issued in March 2021 provided for probation supervision. #przemoc #uczniowie #bezpieczeństwo (translated)

John Bingham wrote that 26 years earlier, the Poles re-elected Aleksander Kwaśniewski as president. He attributed alcoholism to him, described him as a communist activist and a secret collaborator of the Security Service with the pseudonym "Alek." He added that a year earlier, Kwaśniewski had been staggering and slurring his words under the influence of alcohol at the graves of Polish heroes in Kharkiv. https://t.co/yLeIWuifQw #Historia #Polska #Kwaśniewski (translated)

John Bingham compared President Karol Nawrocki's training with Manny Pacquiao during a visit to the Philippines to a situation where the president of Argentina would be taking penalty shots in Poland with Lewandowski. He wrote that the gesture of Nawrocki was understood by the entire nation except for the environment of Roman Giertych and Tomasz Trela, toward whom he used an offensive term. #Polska #Sport #Prezydent (translated)

John Bingham wrote that August Hanning, the former head of the German intelligence service arrested on suspicion of spying for the Russian Federation, referred to the Nord Stream explosions as state terrorism and believed that Germany should demand compensation from Poland and Ukraine. Bingham noted that Hanning did not publicly present evidence of Polish authorities' involvement in the operation. He added that in September 2024, Hanning accused the Polish government of allowing a Ukrainian suspect wanted by Germany to leave Poland in order to conceal its own involvement in the attack on the pipelines. Bingham described this as a direct accusation against the authorities of the Republic of Poland of complicity and obstructing the investigation, and then ironically referred to "friends" across the Oder. #szpiegostwo #NordStream #Polska (translated)

John Bingham assessed that "Gazeta Wyborcza," once — in his opinion — the most influential center of power in Poland, has today become a commonly ignored curiosity. He used an offensive term towards its audience and pointed to actions described in the attached link. https://t.co/IGlNWf9lA8 #Polska #media #opinie (translated)

John Bingham wrote that Radosław Sikorski served on the Advisory Council of the Sir Bani Yas Forum in the United Arab Emirates from 2017 to 2023 and received $100,000 a year for it, as well as reimbursement for travel and accommodation expenses. According to Bingham, Sikorski participated in the forum in November 2022 along with Sergey Lavrov, while Karol Nawrocki is to explain himself regarding horseback riding. https://t.co/YSqNgaBHJV #polityka #RadaDoradcza #SirBaniYasForum (translated)

John Bingham wrote that in connection with the report on the corruption scandal involving Sławomir Nowak, scheduled for 23:10, it is worth remembering Prosecutor Jan Drelewski. He claimed that Drelewski, who led to Nowak's arrest, was removed from the investigation and dismissed, and was soon to face charges of exceeding his authority. #Polska #korupcja #sprawiedliwość (translated)

John Bingham wrote that the problem of the two largest parties was the issue of succession. He wondered who could effectively replace Donald Tusk and stated that the prime minister is aging and increasingly resembles the main part of his electorate — retirees, whom he disparagingly described as susceptible to the influence of the internet and TVN. https://t.co/JR24hwLY4I #polityka #sukcesja #Tusk (translated)

I may not know, but it seems to me that it is probably good that Marcin Romanowski will stand before an independent court, which will finally be able to evaluate the evidence gathered by the prosecution? Isn't that what justice is about, and is the rabbit and theater more important? #prawo #sprawiedliwość #sąd (translated)

In the lawsuit filed by @NawrockiKn, Onet has a problem that goes beyond the dispute over the truthfulness of the publication. It’s something more fundamental: can a medium that is a party to the proceedings use its own reach to selectively report on a confidential trial? Let's go: https://t.co/ci3rvplrne https://t.co/ci3rvplrne #media #prawo #dziennikarstwo (translated)

Exactly 20 years ago, the Military Information Services ceased to exist. At the initiative of the late Lech Kaczyński, the Act on their verification and liquidation was adopted by the Polish parliament. 367 deputies from PiS, PO, Self-Defense, LPR, PSL voted in favor. Who was against? SLD and Bronisław Komorowski. https://t.co/vZQb987sdq #WojskoweSłużbyInformacyjne #Polska #Historia (translated)
