News / Komorowski, acting president, is a shower! [51]

Nervous twitches and ticks are natural under such circumstances. Look at Richard Nixon when he got trounced by JFK. Cabot Lodge, his advisor, was livid that such a talented politician could make such a hash at such a vital moment. It swung the election in JFK's favour but we all know what the NWO elites had in store for him.

Sikorski can be afforded a bad day.

News / GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE! [1016]

Copernicus's father was ethnically Polish and anyone with even the faintest of knowledge of international law knows that the father is the more important spouse when it comes to determining the nationality status of their next of kin.

News / Who will be the next President of Poland? [51]

Well, I think Tusk is doing a good thing on that one but a caveat must be issued. What will happen when they are caught between a rock and a hard place (US and Russia)? NATO is their first obligation on paper but what stand will a future Polish President take on, let's say, Sevastopol which throws Ukraine into the mix? All the good work can be undone in an instant.

Pibwl, she told me to tell you that they pertain to the days of communism and that you would understand the nature of 'tajny' documents.

As for Komorowski, he seems to be like a wet blouse. What can this 'man' do for Poland?

History / Kaczynski's Legacy [88]

Lech did have traits that I liked. He took an active stand in regional politics, staying true to principle on some issues. Although being somewhat solemn, he did have a sense of humour and showed the relaxed side of himself. He also resisted Tusk who developed elaborate plans for himself. Tusk is devious like a Romulan.

Love / Do Polish couples live together without being married? [18]

That's ok, Torqy :) If it works, please use it as much as possible. Unlike the main man in America, plk123, I have copyrighted it and actively encourage its use.

Cohabitation is relatively common, I'd guess. Konkubinat or sth like that in Polish.

Love / ARE POLISH GIRLS GOLD-DIGGERS? [359]

Wow, another classic generalisation! Compare what your average Scot spends on a foreign woman and that which you'd fork out, KP. Then we'll talk.

Genealogy / Are Poles aware of Thracian aspect in original roots of Polish ethos? [69]

Crow, are you willing to admit that the EU has done well with regards to allowing Poles to spread their wings and, figuratively, fly abroad? Polish people can get their culture out there by travelling, without the inhibitive nature of communism to hold them back.

The very fact that LK's death has attracted so much international attention should tell you sth. Poland will be very much on the map in the near future.

Crow, what percentage of Serbs honour Racowie and Polish culture in the fullest way? It's a way of life here, no half measures on culture. I'd feel bad if I rejected an important cultural day here, it's deeply ingrained in their psyche. I toast the Poles for their allegiance to cultural norms and understanding their significance!!

News / Who will be the next President of Poland? [51]

Tusk will surely learn from Russia, it is inevitable. There, the difference between PM and President is fuzzy and obfuscated. Tusk wants to reduce the powers of the President and I doubt that he sees that role in such a positive light now. What could Tusk do as President that he couldn't as PM, veto??

Tusk will likely see that being PM will allow him to sufficiently wield the forceps.

Genealogy / Are Poles aware of Thracian aspect in original roots of Polish ethos? [69]

Crow, most Poles couldn't even tell you what Thracian means. The only positive news I have for you is that the great majority of my students want closer ties with Russia.

As an economist, why do geneology and ancient roots interest you so much? The Polish ethos is what and Thracian ethos is what? Let's flesh this out and put meat on the bones.

News / Kaczynski to be buried at Wawel ?! [289]

The key thing is, he is, to my knowledge, to be buried in the non-public part which is maintained by the Catholic church. Is my student right on this point? Also, JK and LK's daughter are entitled to request it, there's nothing stopping them from asking.

Giertych for the role of Frankenstein maybe.

On a more serious note, what can Komorowski bring to the table? I'm looking for concrete actions here. What reforms can he instigate? What kind of persona do you feel, as Poles, that he projects onto the international stage? Is he up to the task?

No, Adam, you'd be wrong. Although I need far more persuading to be swayed from the official version, I'm not going to make the same mistake as I did before by believing the 9/11 stories.

Olga, you are right to be sceptical but stick to your credible sources and you'll be fine. I think Smolensk 10/04 will be to you what 9/11 was to me. Namely, a kind of investigative project/research piece. I know how to get all sorts of info based on what I picked up at uni. I did a vocational/generic course before the academic one and it taught me to be resourceful.

Still, a word of caution for you. Cover any brick walls near you with pillows of soft material as you'll be beating your head against them trying to convince some people. Denial is hard to overcome. Good luck, lassie!

News / Is it possible that Polish president was assasinated? If so then, by whom? [921]

I can see where you are going with the evidence for sure but I'm still not convinced yet. It took me a long time to be convinced about 9/11 but, as I said, the most crucial parts of the jigsaw are the key ones that form the main picture. Still, you have some good sources and cross-comparing really can help you get closer to the truth.

Media Watch is right to sow the seeds of doubt. So many different interpretations have emerged, though, and this undermines the case. I think I will show very clearly here that I'm not a hardline conspiracy theorist, I just reach conclusions based on 'best-fit' evidence. Foul play is looking more plausible but I still think that the official line is far more solid than the disparate threads flying about.

9/11 official line? Insulting and bogus! One of the most blatant examples of tampering ever!

Almost undoubtedly Komorowski. Tusk will find him easy to manipulate and will seek, once again, to curb the powers of that office. Expect Tusk to push him closer to Russia. Tusk knows the importance of this and BK will follow suit.
