Zbigniew Leszczyc w "Herbach Szlachty Polskiej" tak o wielkim i zacnym klanie Szeliga powiada:
SZELIGA. W czerwonem polu zloty polksiezyc ze zlotym krzyzem, na helmie ogon pawi. Pieczetuje sie nim: Wachowski, Wielkop. Slask.
Zanim Lech Walesa wypowiedzial wojne rozglosni ojca Rydzyka, wyslal e-maila do Mieczyslawa Wachowskiego z projektem listu otwartego w sprawie Radia Maryja. Wspomnial w nim o "grupie psycholi od Rydzyka". Byly szef prezydenckiego gabinetu w odpowiedzi zalecil wstrzemiezliwosc i rezygnacje ze sporu. Walesa nie posluchal rady. W nocy przeslal Wachowskiemu ostatnia wersje swojego listu i rownoczesnie skierowal ja do PAP.
To ze dawny "kapciowy" Walesy nie ma juz wplywu na pierwszego szefa Solidarnosci, nie dziwi. Ich drogi rozeszly sie przed dziesieciu laty. Bardziej zaskakuje niespodziewany wybuch aktywnosci bylego prezydenta, ktory w ostatnich latach dryfowal na marginesie zycia publicznego. (...).
O co chodzi bylemu prezydentowi? Czy - jak mowi Mieczyslaw Wachowski - "to wszystko sie kupy nie trzyma", czy - jak twierdza inni - Walesa stara sie przed 25. rocznica Sierpnia '80 przypomniec o sobie i przy okazji oczyscic biografie z rozmaitych podejrzen? (...).
- Zawsze musi miec jakiegos przeciwnika. Od lata wpada z jednej skrajnosci w druga. Teraz w dodatku przechodzi chyba jakas meska menopauze - mowi Wachowski (Luiza Zalewska, "Lech Walesa znowu zrzuca skore - ROZPOCZAL WOJNE NA WIELU FRONTACH. CZY TO OSTATNI ZRYW POLITYCZNEGO OUTSIDERA, CZY DOBRA OKAZJA DO ODBUDOWY NADSZARPNIETEGO WIZERUNKU?", NEWSWEEK 24.04.2005).
Od kiedy zablokowano mi dostep do forum dyskusyjnego "Ustka", zauwazylem, ze temat "Uwolnic biusty" zamarl. A to temat wazny i przyszlosciowy. Szczegolnie, ze Ustka ma zostac europejska stolica topless. A w tym kierunku zmierza, poniewaz najbardziej kochajacy slonce i nagie cialo Niemcy, pomalu sa wypraszani z Wloch i inych krajow za niemoralne zachowanie.
The German way of vacationing is under siege. After suffering more or less silently for years, fellow Europeans are letting their frustrations be known about German behaviour at resorts around the world.
An Italian guide takes aim at the German habit sunbathing topless, no matter how overweight, and at German visitors who leave their scanty swimwear out to dry on beach furniture, such as umbrellas (Araminta Wordsworth, "German get a dressing-down over offensive beach behaviour", NATIONAL POST, Thursday, August 11, 2005).
Cos sie niewatpliwie dzieje w Ustce, poniewaz nawet Marian Kaluski z Australii zainteresowal sie tematem.
"A teraz media podaly, ze wladze nadmorskiej Ustki zorganizowaly fete z okazji 70 rocznicy przyznania praw miejskich temu miastu przez... Adolfa Hitlera" ("Dziwni ci Polacy", GONIEC, 27 V - 2 VI 2005).
Czyzby to wyjasnialo dlaczego w herbie Ustki zostala umieszczona Syrenka? Mit i symbolika Syrenki jest bardzo mocna ezoterycznie. Duzo o tym pisalem w zdjetym temacie pt. "Ustczanie Emigranci". Szkoda ze Ustczanom zabrano mozliwosc poznania i zglebienia tego fasycnujacego tematu.
STONES SATISFACTION FOR LUCKY FEW
INTIMATE T.O. CONCERT
BY NATALIE ALCOBA
When The World's Greatest Rock Band gives you the chance to get up close and personal, you do what it takes to be there.
You call in sick to work. You camp outside whatever rumoured venue is hosting the event, braving heat and rain for a ticket inside. If you're smart, you bring a chair to get comfortable.
The Rolling Stones played a small concert last night - and any true fan knows it could be their last.
Indeed, those who have stuck with the band through its four-decade reign received news of an intimate concert at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto with elation... and a sliver of concern.
"It could be their last," said Lori Murray before the concert last night. "You don't want it to be, but you think..."
Hundreds of fans queued for tickets that went on sale yesterday for $10. Hundreds got in; hundreds more didn't.
Ray Hansen's decision to join the line at 7 p.m. on Tuesday proved too late. But that didn't stop him from sticking around the Phoenix last night.
"I love the Stones," Mr. Hansen, 43, said. "They're the greatest rock and roll band in the world," he said, fishing a mini-photo album of Stones snapshots from his knapsack. "One of these days I'm going to kidnap Keith and get him to sign them for me."
He added: "They're in their 60s, and they're still rocking out." And they're still aiming to create a stir. Their latest song, Sweet Neo Con, takes a poke at U.S. President George W. Bush and morality in the White House.
"You call yourself a Christian, I call you a hypocrite/You call yourself a patriot, well, I think you're full of s--," the song goes.
"That's the Stones. They take political shots," said Sean Burns, 43, as he waited to get into the concert hall last night. Mr. Burns has seen dozens of performances, and has been luckier than most, stumbling upon tickets for two other intimate shows in Toronto in the 90s, at the Horseshoe Tavern and RPM. Seeing the band live in a small setting is a "completely different experience."
But beyond the obvious musical attributes, many Toronto Stones fans love the fact that the group loves the city. The Stones routinely rehearse in Toronto before launching tours. Woodbridge stylist Angie Mattei heard they were practising at Greenwood College School on Tuesday night so she and her 14-year-old daughter Alannah drove to the city, hoping to get autographs.
Ms. Mattei admitted to being a bit surprised when a manager came out to give her and about 30 other people wristbands for last night's concert. Alannah was too young to go to the 19-and-over show at the Phoenix, so the manager brought her and three other children inside the school.
The kids got to watch the band rehearse for about half an hour. "It was a real treat," said Ms. Mattei. Alannah raced out when it was done, excited and overwhelmed all at once. "Mom, you know what? I lived your dream." (NATIONAL POST, Thursday, August 11, 2005).
Sir Mick 'rocked' the cops
Files detail 1969 raid
LONDON (AP) - Today, he's referred to as Sir Mick Jagger. But 35 years ago, he was a rock rebel who could rattle the authorities.
In 1969, police considered Jagger an "intelligent young man" who lived on the fringe and consorted with "the dregs of society," according to newly released documents.
Jagger is currently in Toronto, preparing for the Rolling Stones' tour and upcoming album, A bigger Bang.
The police files, declassified by Britain's National Archives, detail Jagger's claim that detectives planted drugs during a 1969 raid on his London apartment.
Jagger was fined about $500 for possession of cannabis after the raid on his Chelsea home. The rocker claimed that a drug squad officer, Det.-Sgt. Robin Constable, had tried to plant "white powder" inside a box in the house.
"I think he put the box down and opened the folded paper. He said, 'Ah, ah,' we won't have to look much further,' " Jagger said in a statement to police.
"As I got to him he showed me the paper and I saw it contained some white powder." Jagger claimed Constable then said, "Don't worry, Mick, we can sort it all out." "He twice asked me how much it was worth. He then said 'a thousand,' but I never replied," Jagger said.
Scotland Yard interviewed supporters of Jagger, who included a lawyer, a member of Parliament and minor drug dealers. "The private persons interviewed during the course of this investigation represent extreme ends of the scale. At one end are public figures whilst at the other are the dregs of society," noted Commander Robert Huntley, who oversaw the inquiry.
The investigation found there was no "substantial corroborative evidence" for Jagger's claim against Constable. The case was referred to the director of public prosecutions, who found no action should be taken against the police (SUNDAY SUN, August 7, 2005).
BLAME IT ON 'PROHIBITION'
FOR SOME READERS OF Cannabis Culture Magazine, the Vancouver-based international journal for pot users and growers, the deaths of four RCMP officers was a trauma of another sort. "For anyone that grows their own, this is a total tragedy," said one contributor to the magazine's online forum. "Shit they'll start sending the army in now!" Another went so far as to call James Roszko, the dead gunman, a martyr. "I will pray for him for every day of the rest of my life."
Such inflammmatory responses were the minority, even on a site not noted for sympathy toward police. "We are all victims together in this drug war, including the families of the people who died today," wrote someone under the pseudonym Sinhune. "The law is the enemy of both sides, our enemy because it threatens jail for us, and the enemy of the police who are forced to risk their lives to uphold it. "Some said the deaths will hurt cause of legalization, other that they prove the futility of pot laws. "The reason pot is worth more than its weight in gold is because of prohibition, this makes prohibition look bad," wrote one.
The deaths have shaken many British Columbians who, to the frustration of police, often take a benign view of an industry extimated to generate more than $6 billion a year in the province. The number of B.C. grow ops is estimated at 15,000 - ranging from residential mortgage-helpers to sophisticated gang-run operations. Provincial Solicitor General Rich Coleman, a former RCMP member, urged the federal government to stiffen penalties for growers. Courts, however, rarely impose existing penalties. Almost 60 per cent of convicted growers in B.C. received neither jail time nor a fine, according to sentencing statistics between 2002 and 2004. In Vancouver, 83 per cent escaped with only probation or a conditional sentence served at home.
The B.C Civil Liberties Association, an advocate for decriminalization, called it "opportunistic, illogical and hysterical" to step up the war on drugs after last week's killings. "Make no mistake," said association president John Russell. "It is the prohibition of marijuana that caused this tragedy." (Ken MacQueen, MACLEAN'S, March 14, 2005).
