Gold Polish freedom. Are these words more than a historical phrase? Today's illness of the Polish soul is immersion in the abstract – not to say, lying – concept of freedom. We identify it solely with politics. While freedom is simply a condition we should... feel under our feet. On my own land. In my own house. In my own car. utilizing this gift, the origin of which is natural law, and “safe” things more mundane than we may think...
I am going to propose a list of 8 “pillars of freedom”. These are things that power wants to take distant for any reason. Various experts perorate learning and with a pseudo-moral pathos about the fact that alcohol is poison, that smoking kills, and if you give Poles guns, they won't request tobacco, due to the fact that they will kill themselves...
We accept this inexorable pedagogy of lies and shame, but on the another hand we are instinctively (although unfortunately unconsciously) rebelling. All the more reason to realize what it all looks like under natural law. It is the basis of Christian morality. And morality is simply a determinant for us, not the regulations and propaganda of the government in Warsaw, which has as much in common with Christian-classical civilization as liberalism with actual freedom.
The first point may seem the most controversial. How is simply a bottle of wine expected to be a stone of freedom? After all, the devil lives in a bottle, and all we'll find at its bottom is crying and gnashing teeth! Unfortunately, this conviction is rooted very profoundly in the mentality of Poles, for whom indeed the abuse of alcohol was and is the origin of many life tragedies.
Quite serious – it is 2 things. First of all, alcohol in its nature is morally neutral and becomes good or bad only in the context of how we usage it, and its usage should be regulated by 2 factors: virtue and culture (it is, of course, about the virtues of moderation and prudence and about the good manner of tasting good alcohol). Secondly, alcohol is the most mundane and seemingly trivial of the points listed here. That's why he's the first point. This is not about transcendent sources of freedom, specified as faith. Nor is it the concept that even in prison a man can be free. That's a different subject.
It is about the material determinants of freedom, through which society can accomplish the natural intent of human life, which is happiness. due to the fact that these issues concerning our lifestyle are the salt in the eye of power and globalist elites. In turn, the subject of alcohol in Poland raises the biggest emotions. I dare say that a mature and liable approach to alcohol (which can be said to be virtuous and cultural, and which is based on the belief that a man is liable for his own behavior) is simply a determinant of how much we follow natural law (which tells nothing about how much we can have in our blood), and to what degree we are subject to deliberate machination of power, which wants to tell us that we have a "problem" with alcohol, that alcohol as specified is to be relegated, and that we are to be ashamed and stigmatized to each other, so that we do not even realize that alcohol can be utilized as cultural nations do, where there is no drinking drunk and vandalizing after alcohol, although it is simply a regular guest of the table.
A society that has a drinking problem (and is ashamed of it) is ruled easier. Therefore, the power in Warsaw is doing everything to sustain our erstwhile drunken model. Fortunately, customs are changing spontaneously, and more and more people are alienated by the habit of drinking inexpensive vodka at erstwhile from a glass. This is simply a immense threat to power, due to the fact that where culture enters, there are affirmative patterns, and erstwhile affirmative patterns appear, it is no longer possible to demonize a given phenomenon so easy and to make fools of people, and thus strengthen their power (not to mention the material benefits of taxes and excise duties lifted under the pretext of expected "fight" against alcoholism).
This summary is necessarily very brief, and I have discussed most of the topics more widely elsewhere. Therefore, under most points I mention to the materials which the reader will find a broader improvement of the issues raised in the context of moral theology. The text is besides long, but due to the importance of the subject and the level of the increasing stereotypes I dare ask the reader for patience and perseverance to the end!
1) Alcohol
I'll start with anecdote. Sitting in a restaurant with a brand Kondrata wine network recently, I witnessed an highly comforting dialog between employees. I won't quote, just a summary of the main thought: How do politicians enter our privacy by telling us how, where, and in what quantities can we consume alcohol?. An example of this pathology of power has been identified by Scandinavian countries, where the availability of alcohol is limited (opening wide black marketplace gates) and criminalizes people for whom the good of nature and culture has its conventional place in life and home.
Thus a well-known actor, a performer of iconic roles, who is not associated with the conservative worldview, adds his brick to maintaining freedom and common sense in Poland. Giving work to people (regardless of their broader views) in specified a sector, it gives them the chance to anticipate the natural order of the world, in which an adult is liable for himself and knows how much, how and where he can drink (a superb example is quoted by Wojciech Cejrowski, who, having asked a certain redneck from Arizona “How much can I drink here?““ How can I know how much you can drink? ” I can drink a bottle).
Why does it matter? Among another things, due to the fact that the view that alcohol is harmful to wellness and social life is forced by people falling not only into Puritanism (an exaggeration resulting from deficiency of virtue), but besides into a bizarre kind of “scientism”. As a rule: if in any studies it appeared that the substance, which is ethanol, causes temporary “disposal of the body”, then this substance must be bad. It does not substance that it is impossible to say empirically (with average consumption) and farce with all the cultural, social, and intellectual benefits that mankind has been enjoying from this gift of God for thousands of years! Those who propagate this story narrow down their gaze to 1 area of influence only and absolutize it, disregarding the overall take.
Alcohol by the will of the Lord Jesus himself became 1 of the basic symbols of our religion, and he himself (as the Scriptures certify) ate wine not only for ritual purposes, but besides for social purposes. Alcohol is the richness of nature (regions of origin, strains, cereals, local water shots and so on), human craftsmanship (striped over centuries of production methods) and imagination (a communicative behind a given brand and a given product). As such, alcohol is an inalienable part of our culture, and the effort to get it out of public space (by curiosity of not drinking in a car, at work or at a public institution) and all this demonic harassment are an attack on culture as such.
They are besides an assassination of freedom in its most individual dimension. The stigma of alcohol consumption leads to alcoholism (by artificially creating “forbidden fruit” and taking affirmative patterns from people where they must enter negative). First of all, it is simply a circumstantial kind of social training, which results in infantization of customs. It is perfectly average to drink a fewer glasses at a dinner and return home safely (they realize this in countries where there are no restrictions or they are more civilized, kind 0.8 promila). There is usually no moral reason to regulate alcohol and control anyone. As a gathering of adult people forming society, we start to feel like advanced school students who bargain booze under their prom table while we do nothing wrong, and politicians who dictate specified absurd regulations drive themselves drunk and under the influence of drugs, but that they are protected by immunity.
Rafał Ziemkiewicz, who spoke on his channel about the "worker's syndrome", described the anti-alcoholic exaggeration of "scientists". The point is that people who are professionally active in addictions cease to realize that beyond the fistful for which alcohol has become the catalyst for decline and household tragedy, there is inactive a average majority for which it should be... what it has always been, and what the Bible expresses in many passages with unparalleled beauty. Without a balance of ideology and a perverted policy of alleged "anti-addictive". On the another hand, the intent of the applicable law (from the Polish People's Republic of Poland) is to multiply taxes and to tell Poles that they are not valid. It would be naive to believe that this law prevented even 1 addiction.
Of course, the subject of another conversation is the fact that a individual who pours in a corporate beer, vodka or another inexpensive alcohol actually poisons his body!

2. Tobacco
Smoking is not as neutral and as historical as tasting fermented or distilled beverages, but it has been accompanying our culture for respective 100 years. Notable Catholics, including popes and saints, reached for tobacco. It is, like alcohol, a way to relax and spend a pleasant time. It has social and cultural functions. The tube is an indispensable attribute, for example, of J.R.R. Tolkien (to the bone of the Catholic master of literature!), and behind each brand producing hand-wrapped cigars stands a household tradition, care for the uncompromising quality of the organic and ecological product and a mass of cultural stories and symbols building individual lines.
Nicotine contained in tobacco serves both intellectual wellness (a way to relax in the crazy momentum of life) and physical (relaxive properties in case of stress manifested by psychosomatic pains). So much can be said empirically. However, no technological investigation has been made, as far as I know, to prove the alleged harmfulness of tobacco. The U.S. government administration (FDA) tried to prove it, but with mediocre results, due to the fact that the danger of utilizing cigars (and this comparatively often, due to the fact that erstwhile a day) was within the limits of statistical error.
I would point out that the above data only applies to tobacco products (i.e. those in which they occur). one component: tobacco), not cigarettes that have nothing to do with tobacco. For example, a pack of corporate cigarettes (in which the number of ingredients goes into hundreds, and the base is simply a mush called HTL) costs about 16 zł, while a pack of cigarettes made of tobacco (although available in the US brand American Spirit)... $16. Unfortunately, we have reached a time erstwhile a simple (and erstwhile common) natural ingredient becomes an inaccessible luxury (and the same applies to healthy food).

Alcohol, tobacco and weapons – erstwhile will the government halt demonizing them? What does the Church say?
3) Weapons
There is simply quite a few talk about this (indicating, for example, that even the invaders did not regulate the access to weapons in Poland, with which our ancestors made uprisings and reached for this method only the communists). The weapon is tool serving the defence (as the name suggests) and as specified cannot be prohibited. Furthermore, it is simply a pillar of freedom due to the fact that only an armed citizen (whose weapons do not appear on any government list) can effectively argue tyrannical power and enforce the regulation of law erstwhile the government falls into lawlessness.
We can presume that we live in a reasonably safe country, and in this sense we deal without weapons, but there are 2 questions. First of all, what, in an utmost situation, if only a weapon can aid us save lives, wellness or property (here we should mention the archdiocous records on the defence of "necessary" and "proportional"? Secondly, what if our “our own” government or the vicious bandits who are fighting war (don't give God) become a threat to us?

4) Cash
There is besides much talk about this, although I feel that small is done. The government introduces further restrictions (although cash transactions between entrepreneurs up to PLN 15,000) and banks cease to hold cash (for example, mBank, in which I have an account, has 1 facility in Kraków, where there is something like cash with the anticipation of paying money!).
Each of the points discussed here – apart from the purely mundane dimension – has its far-reaching consequences. erstwhile we talk about money (actually about the strategy in force today) false money), it has not only an economical aspect, but besides a moral aspect. For a average planet is in place gold standard, and each bank has a work to physically safe the funds deposited in it – it is simply a planet in which work and a sense of the reality of social relations based on the movement of money apply.
Collecting cash is simply a form of control and surveillance through electronic transactions, but besides the final step towards detaching a man from the awareness that his work has its tangible dimension and his savings will be paid at the time of the crisis as they will physically be in the bank's local branch vault. Not to mention the moral aspect of the degradation of society, which receives benefits and takes work for its own life and for the lives of its fellowmen...

Counterrevolution must have economical grounds! Do Poles have freedom in general?
5) Exhaust vehicle
In the case of cars, we are faced with another unproven technological absurdity, namely the alleged influence of man on climate change, while in reality the climate is changing cyclically and there is nothing unnatural about it. So, what if the data clearly indicates that the carbon dioxide emitted by cars is just a fraction of the global production of this (bene note needed in the atmosphere) relationship? It is crucial that there is an excuse to limit the ability of the wayward citizens to decision their own vehicle!
Apart from the concrete harm of driving cars out of cities (some of the thieves are not in head that a household with children, a cart and another essential things is incapable to travel by public transport), let us note the simple economical aspect. Maintaining a good old car is the cost of operating parts (accessible and cheap) and the ability to replace any part of the body on the first better “fight” while, for example, replacing the mask in the fresh Volkswagen (source: car for the people!) is the cost of respective thousand! But what the hell, since we're all expected to be employees (and hostages!) of 2 entities: budgets and corporations.
6) Green energy
One of the pillars of freedom is the only form of energy that we can rightly describe as “green”. Literally. For the tree that we cut down on our own plot, we dry and throw into the fireplace, it is besides green – and "renewable", due to the fact that fresh ones are increasing in place of the old one. In addition, strangely enough, there is no request to store hundreds of tons of iron from windmills and toxic photovoltaic circuits.
Smoking in the fireplace is not only a winter romance of the home fire, not only the comfort that the surviving fire fills the heart erstwhile we return after Christmas to a frozen house, a fire that in just half an hr wraps us with warmth and enjoys the eye with a cheerful light from behind a burning glass... This is primarily saving and safety. Created in the cycle of nature, coal, a tree from the garden or from the demolition of a house, stumps that the neighbour has disposed of, or transportation from a local sawmill – it is the only green energy that actually occurs in nature and thanks to it we are independent of government power supply!
7) Food security
As with “green energy” we are dealing only with natural sources, so food safety (and, by the way, health!) can only be ensured at the local level of supplies not bound by the wellness Department, the taxation Office and another individuals specialising in limiting the fundamental freedoms and draining the pockets of citizens. At 1 time South Dakota's politician Kristi Noem, warned about the large national threat of Bill Gates buying out vast agricultural land and its akin oligarchs.
This is simply a highly underestimated point due to the fact that we are inactive very small aware of the problem of industrial food production. Our organisms have not undergone any kind of magical “evolution” and have not adapted to the feeding of chemistry. erstwhile we eat white bread, we do not know that gluten derived from genetically modified grains (fertilised with chemistry and sprayed with randap) grains is unfeasible, and bread as specified becomes the origin of diseases. Like everything else we eat. Dr. Max Gerson, who developed the author's purification therapy, conducted a survey on this subject in time, which enables the body to cope with even serious diseases (this treatment was banned in corrupted by large Pharma and large Food of the United States).
Local supply chain (not even within the country, but within the municipality!) is simply a condition sine qua non food security, as well as our own health. Only grain, vegetable or fruit grown on uncontaminated dirt fertilizers and only meat or eggs from animals from the ‘free range’ have the nutritional values needed for life. I already skip the issue of taste, due to the fact that it is adequate to make a cappuccino out of warm milk consecutive from the cattle to realize what we are dealing with in the case of “milk” shop.
But in order for a milkman to bring us a bottle of delicious, non-fat milk to our house, the milkman would should be free from the repression of the “careful” state, which limits all decision he makes! specified economical freedom is linked straight to our individual freedom, safety and even health.

8) Home Mir
For us to be free, we must have 2 absolutely assured things: respect for parental power and the right to self-determination. announcement how false the concept is in our day self-government. After all, self-government is the same as any another political power, yet dependent on the government in Warsaw! Meanwhile, actual self-government means that... We regulation ourselves. In the average arrangement there are far-reaching autonomy of society (family, local communities) and institutions of social life (self-governments, universities, craftsmanship). Political power (without clear reason serving the common good) has no right to interfere in the sphere of parental and social self-government.
It all boils down to the alleged "basic social cell", which is the family. The government is doing everything to make us forget that parenting power is as real a power as political power. It is not any “concept” of contract or abstract. And political power has no right to enter into parental authority and should not decide on circumstantial issues of the social system, related to education and so on. The most tangible dimension of this case is the fact that, having real (not fictional, like in Poland) property rights, we become "gentlemen on our own land". We own everything (real estate, objects, deposits, fauna and flora), which is on our land and below it. We besides have an inalienable right to defend life and property, and no authority has the right to state whether our defence against assault was “necessary” and to propose to us that if a thief attacks with a knife, we should besides scope for the knife!

State and Nation. For whom is independence?
Summary:
Please note that I have only mentioned things or lifestyle issues here, not “great” issues (such as independency and sovereignty). In applicable terms, our freedom comes down to an aspect personal. The approach to the above-mentioned goods is simply a test of how free we are, and how much we have submitted to the social training conducted for decades in our country.
Therefore, we cannot ignore these things and say that we can do without them, due to the fact that we live in “free Poland”. Attempts to disgust, ridicule, and take these things from us are part of the planned folly and incapacitation of society. The end of this plan is simply a community that does not question the decision of power and lives in a seemingly perfectly safe, sterile and "responsible" world. but that all of this is at the expense of our freedom, and that all work (which each of us bears before God and before our loved ones) is transferred to a "careful" state. It is simply a planet contrary to God’s arrangement of things, and violating these principles is simply a crime against nature.
In the end, I will quote another anecdote. Well, I'm sitting in a pendolino at a table in a compartment. There's another grown man sitting with me. I drink craft beer for 16 zlotys, which I have acquired in this pendolino. Suddenly, the service comes and I learn that it is “inconsistent with the rules” and “Polish law”. After a brief exchange of words, the train manager asks me (thinking it would be a rhetorical question): “And on a red light you pass?” "But of course," I reply. His Majesty, with the confusion of shock and a sense of superiority in his eyes, is already trying to turn around, but I am starting to explain to him what common sense and natural law are and that even in left-wing California people pass on red light. Eventually, the substance ends with humor, raising joy and a fair sense of absurdity in the girl who is witnessing her. But the conclusions are not humorous. This shows that the average Pole He doesn't know, he doesn't understand, and he doesn't remember.That there is specified a thing as the natural order of the world!
Even after writing so many words, I feel that it is not adequate and that it is essential to organize a separate symposium or to compose a book to kind out and unburden all these issues according to the doctrine of realistic and social teaching of the Church. But I hope that I can get any readers to think, discuss, and above all my own inquiries. Otherwise, the power will proceed to make fools of us, and we will swallow everything, like, without trying on, a flock of rams (as the editor of Łukasz Warzecha said recently).
