At the inauguration of a memorial to Hartmut Tautz, eighteen-year-old East-German refugee who was killed on the Czechoslovak-Austrian border in 1986, participants signed an open letter to 21 representatives of Communist Czechoslovakia calling on them to publicly apologise for his death and killings of other defenceless civilians on the Iron Curtain.

So how are we to rate Donald Trump's business acumen in relative terms? Is the cautious
businessman who minimizes risk, rarely fails, and shows a moderate return better than the brash businessman who often takes on highly risky pursuits, strikes out a lot, but also hits his share of grand slams? That's too subjective a question for us to answer, and the few numbers offered in this trope aren't very informative. It's an oft-cited statistic that Donald Trump "has" 515 companies, but a number of those businesses are only connected to him in tangential ways (e.g., through licensing agreements) and aren't owned or directly controlled by him. It's also an oft-cited statistic that about 80-90% of businesses fail within the first year to eighteen months, but such numbers typically refer to startups and small businesses, while much of Donald Trump's business empire involves expanding and building on existing large business lines and ventures.

The first deputy of the Mayor of Plzen claimed: “It is just a question of only few months.” But
now, he is quiet, not only him, but his whole Cabinet, too. All corrupt circles associated with City Hall knew very well way ahead of time that it shall be years, because they need to drive the final price as high as possible, only for a single reason - so that everyone involved in this venture can usurp a piece as big as possible of this juicy quarry, when the final price will far exceeds the original price of the needed stone. They see the monument “Thanks America” as nothing more than the possibility of an indecent means for personal enrichment. Obviously, the Plzen’s City Hall doesn’t thank Americans at all. To take down existing pylons that were not a threat to anyone, only a week before the planed celebrations, is not just a quite a dirty deed, but a clear statement of the today’s situation that rules the City Hall. The present and former 
Communists presented their new power – the monuments to the former Border Guards are taken care of without any problems under the now ruling Communists.
The film document of Hana Borikova, “Thanks America – the Story of Plzen’s monument” was shown in Plzen on May 3rd 2016 in “Depo 2015” - invitation (I ordered a copy. Part of preview is enclosed, lest we forget!!!). So, in an official program Celebration of Freedom, there was not a place for it? I recommend buying a DVD copy, just 28 minutes of an excellent document! The speech of Col. Charles Noble should never be forgotten. His final words should be chiseled in stone!
