News / The wave of designer-drug poisoning (dopalacze) in Poland [48]

food products

That shows that Polish law is defective. I hope PiS set up somethign like the FDA. But a first step is a law banning the sales of unknown, unidentified substances of unspecified purpose and working. You have to agree that calling some colourful pill or shimmering powder a "collector's item" is a gross abuse designed to evade the law and exploit gullible youths and ddestroy their health and lives. Calling them a "fodo product" is probably what the producers and dealers say when they're hauled into court. Just overnight there has been a crackdown on shops countywide. Molly-coddling criminals was something I thought only stupid Americans were guilty of, but I can see it has seeped over into Poland. A judge releasing the prime distrubutor of "Mocarz" on bail has got to be on the take. Poland needs its own Elliot Ness!

big pharmaceutical companies

Are these companies flooding the market with dangerous synthetivc (designer) drugs? Doesn't Poland have some equivalent of our FDA which decides which foods and medications are safe for public consumption? The EU and/or individual member states must also do. I'm sure kangaroo meat has to be inspected by a state health inspector, otherwise there would be salmonella and other such epidemics. Even backward Russia carreis out such inspections -- although they have abused them for poltiucla reasons.

Anyway, anyone standingn on the sidelines would have conclude that your are creating a litany of excuses why designer drigs cannot be controleld as if you were on the payroll of the slimeballs poisoning Polish youth.

prohibition of drugs

Make-believe prohibition doesn't work. The measures I have outlined would seriously impede the spread of durgs, designer or otherwise, by making it not worth to effort to producers and dealers. The weed promoters like Palicreep keep saying it's less harmful than alcohol. But it's either - or onyl in theory,. Stupid kids smoke pot and quaff beer. so legalising pot would produce more young people in a hazy daze. That is not a goal to shoot for -- the nation's youth should not be depraved with stupefiants, porn and immoral conduct of any kind. You've seen enough American films to know every barman asks: Got any ID? Selling any booze including beer to anyone under 21 can means losing one's licence.

Too bad Poland imports the wrong things from the US.

pleasant forest mushrooms

Boles, milky caps, chantrelles, etc. are indeed exported but are comestibles not drugs. Mocarz had no certificate neither do any of the other toxic trash that has sent people to hospital and even killed some users.

beneficial herb

The potential seller would have to get a new, unknown, unidentified, hitherto unmarketed substance whose effects had not been fully researched tested at a state sanctioned lab at his expense. That would put the still fledgling designer drug market under firm control and supervision.

With well-estabished substances -- tobacco and alcohol -- one can incresase prices only so much. At some point people begin distilling their own moonshine (easy to do at home with sugar) or buying cheap ciggies smuggled from the east.

state control

The state has a duty to protect society the nation from toxic substances, weapons and other dangerous substances on the market.
Yes, alcohol should be better controlled and the numerb of concessions limited. In Ontario tipples including beer may be sold only in official provincial outlets not in any supermarket, corner shop or petrol station.

In my home state no strong drink is sold on Sundays, and no alcohol (even beer and wine of up to 18% ABV) until after 1PM. And nobody claims the US or Canada are oppressive.

'manhole'

Yes, that's what it's called in the Colonies. Feminists cirticised oen of JP2 translated sermons for saying "man does not live by bread alone." Their lingusitic ignorance showed because in Polish we differentiate between człowiek (human) and mężczyzna (man). They also want postpersons and flight attendants (no stewardesses anymore). What about kids in winter building a snow--- ? May they use the M-word? What about dustmen? Are they now to be called dustpersons.

No, the reason is that you're not thinking about the consequences of what you suggest.

The toothless law as it now stands. What if a new law were enacted stating: all unknown, unidentified and uncertified substances are banned? There are rules regulating what food, medicaments and other products can be marketed, so designer drugs in your view should be exempt?

Polcie enter a shop and pick up a packet of some sh*t and ask where is your certificate? What certificate? And that is grounds for confiscating tand destroying the entire stock.

Testing is pricey and that's very good. The petitioner would have to pay for the test whether or not he got permission to market the item, and that would also be a deterrent to many.

Re online sales, sting operations would pluck out individual dealers who would be given a choice: jail or cooperation with law enforcement (disclosing their source)? The same at clubs, pubs, discos, etc.

Where there's a will, there's a way. Remember, Csapone was unpersecutable although he had many corpses on his hands. He could buy prosecutors, judges, police, alibis, whatever, so they got him on tax evasion.

Some of you on PF seem to be siding with the criminals and finding excuses to show why they cannot be touched. It figures, you support the crooked and scammy PO.

amend the chemical composition and release it on the market.

This is utter bollocks that prove politicians are only worried about the trough and not taking their job seriously. They said the Internet could not be controlled or stopped, but China showed that it could.

Modifying the ingredients is a load of malarkey. The law should reuqire everyone trying to market a substance containing unknown chemicals and of unknown designation and purpsoe should be first required to submit it for obligatory testing to a state-certified lab at the petitioner's expense. Only if it gets a clean bill of health as non-toxic, non-addictive and serving some legitimate prupose does it get a state certificate and can be marketed. All others are automaticlaly banned. Calling colourful pills or suspicious powders "collectibles" is a mockery of the law. It's quite straightforward, but it is in someone's interest not to see that. The reason: BIG MOINEY!

News / The wave of designer-drug poisoning (dopalacze) in Poland [48]

The wave of designer-drug poisoning could not have been ignored in the heat of the ongoing election campaign. PiS, the main opposition party, has released a TV spot recalling how former Prime Minister Donald Tusk was hailed by the tabloid press as a hero for closing down some 1,400 retail outlets selling the toxic narcotic-like synthetics. But the spot noted that despite those efforts, cases of poisoning have quintupled in recent years. The spot also showed the present Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz holding up Polish anti-synthetic-drug legislation as a model for other countries to follow. The punch line was the question: If things are so good, why has there been such a rash of poisonings after the new law went into effect?

News / Have PO (Platforma) operatives in Poland fallen into a panic? [332]

will make a law that limits how much profit

The EU msut be prevailed upon to enact bloc-wide legislation trimming the banks' profit margin and making them pay their fair share of taxes. Let the EU finally prove it's good for something other than imposing toxic light-bulbs and sanctioning the spread of perversion.

Here is more on Madam Szydło's eocnomic plans!

Poland's central bank should actively boost preferential credit action for small and medium companies, main opposition party Law and Justice's (PiS) candidate for Prime Minister said in an interview published on Thursday.

"For sure, the role of stabiliser of Polish finances is not to be undermined," Beata Szydlo told Dziennik Gazeta Prawna daily, when asked about what role of the central bank her party envisaged.

"But we also see the central bank as an active participant in actions aimed at preferential crediting for small and medium companies, along the lines of LTRO implemented by the European Central Bank and several other European states's central banks."

The comments echoed those made by party economic expert Zbigniew Kuzmiuk earlier this month. PiS is leading opinion polls ahead of parliamentary elections due in October.

Szydlo also said that should PiS form the government, she would seek to put the ministry of development in charge of Poland's economy.
"We want to change the current model, in which the finance minister is the creator of economic policy," she said.
Szydlo also said that she wanted to renegotiate the carbon emission rules imposed on Poland by the European Union as they were hurting Poland's economy.

they'll be forced to pass the costs onto the consumer.

The banks' profit margin can be decreased by legislation. The banker fatcats have it too good and enjoy too many privileges not available to others. They literally get away with murder. They are not some sacred cow. Here is where the EU should come in and make sure banks have similar conditions throughout the bloc. Where there's a will theres a way!

strange things that don't really make much sens

He's not a politican and initially that was his main forte, a grass-roots candidate not part of the sytem. But he also no strategist and seems to be groping the dark.

Pani BS presented illogical economics

Beata Szydło. PiS candidate for prime minister, has unveiled the plans of her party ( Law and Justice) which they intend to implement after winning Octovber's general election. Among the largest projects is the increase in social benefits for families with two or more children - these families are to receive 500 złotys ($130) per child . Moreover, PiS want to increase the tax-free allowance and reduce the retirement age and VAT. Those measures are expected to cost over $10 billion. She also wants to tax banks which enjoy too many privileges.

Kukiz was a flash in the pan

Quite possible. Trouble seems ot be brewing in Kukizland. Squabbling has erupted among the backers of Polish dark-hose Paweł Kukiz, whose unprecedented 20% support in May's presidential election unsettled the country's political stage. The local activists and aldermen of various cities and towns, who were to be his principal power base, complain that he has turned away from them. Instead, strange fringe groups such such as the nationalist Ruch Narodowy (National Movement) and New Right-Wing Congress, whose popular support hovers around 1%, have jumped on the Kukiz bandwagon. Rock musician Kukiz says he was used by the mayor of the SW city of Lubin to facilitate his own cronies' access to parliament. Meanwhile, Kukiz's support in some opinion polls has fallen to half of what he won in the presidential contest.

common sense will prevail

It will indeed prevail when voters sweep away the oldboy crook and scam club and bring some decent Polish patriots to power. The Platfusy have had 8 years to make a mess of things and they certainly have done a good job: health service in ruins, scandals aplenty, unkept proimises, rampant bureaucracy, deisgner-drug scandal, etc., etc. Who needs it!?

amongst educated people

Known in Polish as wykształciuchy. Semi-literate academic snobs of the johnny come lately variety who still have straw sticking out of their shoes. You can tell who they are becuase they look down on those with lesser education, less affluent, from small towns and rural areas, Poland B, etc. A truly educated person does not flaunt or try to imrpess others with his educational achievements but altruistically uses them to help those less fortunate.

any Polish people

Foolish are those incapable of antiicpating what is (according to jon) unstoppable. Poland is no exception. All pathologies and problems found in other countries eventually seep into Poland. When the LGBT crowd strengthens its stanglehold ihere, freedom fo speech will also be threatened and the same abuses will occur in Poland. It's best to be prepared rather than being caught off guard.

deprived of their livelihood

Christian's salary cut because he criticised gay marriage on Facebook: Punishment could cost him £60,000. Adrian Smith, 55, lost his managerial position and had salary cut by 40%

Married father-of-one's case is being supported by the Christian Institute:

they have made a choice

In other words people have one of two choices: agree with and spout LGBT propaganda or lose their job. Is that what awaits us when the gay agenda takes over?

It was the same in PRL and Stalin's Russia. If you paid lip service to things you didn't believe it and went against your conscinece you coud get ahead. History repeats itself, I reckon, only proving the essentially totalitarian mentality of your co-ideologians.

deprived of their livelihoods

The US Army chaplains demoted for opposing same-sex marriage and the bakery put out of business by LGBT goons have already been reported on PF. But new reports are coming in daily of people being bullied and intimidated by LGBT operatives and their collaborators.

The Washington Times has reported a decorated combat pilot threatened with discharge for trying to prevent the filming of a disgusting scene destined to end up on social media. Lt. Col. Christopher simply pushed down the camera filming two lesbians groping and slobbering over each other on the dancefloor. The commnetary: A large percentage of homosexuals are exhibitionists, and allowing them into the military is going to result in an endless string of embarrassing incidents.

Robert P. George, a professor at Princeton University and head of the International Commission on Religious Freedom, recently reported a survey circulated to employees at JPMorgan Chase whose quesitons included: are you a member of the LGBT or an ally of the LGBT community, but not personally identifying as LGBT. Professor George concluded: "The message to all employees is perfectly clear: You are expected to fall into line with the approved and required thinking. Nothing short of assent is acceptable. Silent dissent will no longer be permitted."

Blogger and drama queen Austin Ruse called the survey an "LGBT loyalty test" and claimed that Christians are being "bullied" and "coerced" and are now in "hostile territory at work" being held captive by a "dominant sexually correct mafia."

Rod Dreher of the American Conservative went so far as to ask: "Is JPMorgan Chase saying that no traditional Christians, Orthodox Jews, or Muslims need apply?"
