Why is there such a thing as beinghad.com?
Because what Poland did to me five years ago ripped a hole in my life that has never actually healed. A lot of people got hurt by their absolutely mindless game actually, and so because of this, and because I have never been able to reestablish the sort of life I had before, I do this instead.
What happened?
Well, for more than 10 months in 2002, I was held in Poland without my passport and made to stand trial for a crime I did not commit. During this time, I lost my money, my time, my credibility and my good name all of which I had spent the better part of my life building up. I suffered unending depression, had my name slandered and was never even allowed to defend myself. What should have been to any reasonable thinking person’s eyes a completely ridiculous and outrageous prosecution was turned into a festival of doubletalk and insanity. What they did wasn’t right, it wasn’t fare and it wasn’t necessary.
And so, because all of my accusers; the police, the prosecutors, the judges and even my own attorneys took such pride and pleasure in their actions, I thought I really ought to do the same in return. After all, what goes around comes around. And so these pages represent my best efforts to return the favor. Of course, I do not have the luxury of officially accepted lies; I am only able to use hard facts here. But nevertheless, I think I make do.
Have a look and see for yourself. And, if in the end you agree with me, give me a hand and help me spread the word. Let’s make what these people did as public as possible so that perhaps things like this will never happen again.
