The text comes from the notes of writer Onetu, Edity Żeły to the book “Armia in ruin”.
OneMilitary service officer: In the MON building at Niepodległości Street there is an object in which the minister and management staff theoretically, but only theoretically, can conduct conversations in safety clauses to top secret and top secret. The creation of specified a area was ordered by Błaszczak, as Macerewicz extorted it from the palace on Klonowa. In order not to want to decision to much little typical we sit at Niepodległości Street, called by the employees of MON “Pekin”.
There was a bunker in the castle at Klonowa Street in the basement, where a professional place for secret talks was made. There were all possible safety features. but the palace on Klonova is adjacent to the Russian embassy. Thus, the services feared that despite the best security, the Russians could inactive perceive to the highest level of meetings there. In total, the Military Counterintelligence Service not only classed Błaszczak's decision from Klonowa to Niepodległości Street, which she recommended to him.
The problem is that there was no secret area in the “Pekina”. You just had to build it. This task was given to the MON Administrative Department. The company was selected, plans were approved. And then it was funnier than Barea and more dangerous than any spy movie.
“We simply turned off the alarms and pretended to be stupid”
MON officer: The Ministry of Defence spent over PLN 5 million on this secret room. Finally, however, it turned out that there were so many malpractices there that the servants did not want to receive it. Reason? For a very long time, nothing worked there. But even erstwhile this area was already picked up, all the safety features were inactive working — I fear it inactive is — on the word of honor.

Imagine that erstwhile the builders installed the metallic detection gate, they besides made so much reinforcements on the ceiling that this goal was the only weapon that caught. In order not to interfere with the high-ranking politicians and commanders, we simply turned off the alarms and pretended that everything was working.
You want more examples? There you go. erstwhile they've activated this, we had to ask the service to give approval to alternate safety measures, due to the fact that the door to this area was in the incorrect place. We've only added a camera to balance the risks that may happen in secret conversations.
Another problem. The builders put on a door with a cipher lock not where they should be. So the alarm systems were always biting each other, and all the time the alarm was triggered. But that wasn't the end of the problem. erstwhile we've got everything running, the ceiling's leaking. It's just that the sewerage in the storey above was leaky. It came out due to the fact that there was a sentinel bathroom upstairs, erstwhile they utilized the toilet or took a shower, the politicians and the commanders had it on their heads.
The worst part is that there was never an efficient electronic communications system. There was no safe telephone there either. There was expected to be an American strategy to which NATO gave us a Polish cover. No way. It's not working. But strangely enough, even the simplest military communications strategy could not be activated.

"Gen. Rajmund Andrzejczak pulled the number once"
Homeland safety Officer: Problems with the safe room, or with the communication, are not just about the MON. This is not something to be said, but akin problems besides apply to another public services and institutions. Think about it, why do these government column trips to Warsaw? In a average country, ministers press the button on their desktop and everyone joins together. Did you see the columns driving around Washington in the United States due to the fact that politicians, military commanders, or the heads of service want to talk to each other?
And in our room, to talk in security, everyone was driving most of the time to BBN and talking in this area where there was a bucket just late due to the fact that the roof was leaking, but at least there was communication and security. These are real problems, but politicians totally blew them off. alternatively of solving them, there were any absurd wars between them, like this Macerewicz or then Błaszczak with the president. The worst part is they're dragging their army into this.
MON officer: Ours went to secret meetings frequently to BBN. But erstwhile the servants had received — turning a blind eye to many misdemeanors — a secret area in the building at independency Street, the commanders and crucial politicians came there, starting with Błaszczak. There were besides heads of our services, and there were people from Homeland Security, the chief of the gendarmerie. They were gathering in this kind of safe room.

I've been watching things up close, and I'll tell you, what's going on out there shows that we're not truly in NATO. As we checked in the X-ray to see if the metallic detectors of the package of participants and themselves, erstwhile we checked to see if they had all the required papers, as needed, whether they could attend these briefings, there was no gathering at which individual would not blame us.
Imagine us generals resented being checked out. It was our job, and they, possibly due to grades and positions, felt that we had no right to do so. Even gene. Andrewczak resented us. And then I thought to myself, these are people who drive around the world, including NATO, and that's normal. So why did they resent us all time? possibly it's like that general gag at the doctor's? You do?
Edyta Gory: I know a few. But tell me.
MON officer: The colonel goes to the doctor. He was sitting in the chair. The doctor opens his skull, takes his brain out and puts it on the shelf next to him. During this time, an officer's aide enters the office. “Mr. Colonel, he is shouting. “You have been promoted to General.” The colonel gets out of the chair and runs to the door. A disoriented doctor calls for him, “Mr. Colonel, what about the brain?” For which Colonel: "Now I won't request it." Sometimes erstwhile I watched our generals, I felt like there was something real about this joke.
Imagine erstwhile it's even a gene. Rajmund Andrzejczak did specified a number that erstwhile entering a secret location in the MON he refused to submit to control. On another occasion, he refused to control Chief Military Gen. Tomasz Połuch. The reason was due to the fact that the chief of the gendarmerie went through the gate and something was out. A colleague of mine wanted to ask him for another approach, but a gene. He's been ignored.
Tomasz Jastrzebowski/Reporter / PAPGeneral Rajmund Andrzejczak
Our boss responded. He said we'd gotta check him again in cases like this. That's the procedure. Then the general, the mediocre boy, complained to Minister Błaszczak. As a result, our chief, the officer liable for protecting classified information in the MON, was banned from attending meetings in this pseudo-secret room. Tell you what, it was so embarrassing.
By observing what happened behind the Law and Justice, I can safely say that they did not care about following the rules and procedures of dealing with secrets. Macierewicz showed secret data in the Sejm, Błaszczak revealed military plans, Cenckiewicz treated military archives as he wanted, and Dworzyk delicate data through private message he passed through. You know, I may be an old trep, a clerk, but I know classified information. I besides know why each country protects specified data. That's why erstwhile I saw what the Law and Justice was doing, even though I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories, I had quite a few thoughts.
