This is the so-called trickle-down effect. A little bit does trickle down but in the meantime the gap has widened because the rich have become even richer than before. And you must take yoru cues from Alice in Wodderland if you try to convince anyone that tycoons and the afllfuent in general have got to where they are only through hard work without dishonest operations, scams and wronging their fellow-man

As you well know, I have little sympathy for the judaeo-commie-rooted Michnik, but even Hitler gave the world the VW and Autobahn, so Michnik also deserves his due. Recently he said something most everyone can agree with -- roughly that PO's rule was deficient as regards a more just distribution of wealth and privilege.

In less elegant terms, one could say that 80% of society remain the wyjebani (f*cked) and 20% -- the nachapani (gorged).

You mean beneficial for a majority of the Magdalenka clique, the nachapani. It is true that the ex-SB/PZPR types, oligarchs, professional dynasties, shady-business-friendly PO operatives and their compliant media toadies lived in the lap of luxury. But for the wyjebani -- many ordinary Poles without the right PRL-era contacts -- it was mostly dead-end jobs or emigration.

You speak like someone from a coutnry that has never been partitIoned and wiped off the map for 123 years and subjected to the occupation of two different, alien, totalitarian ideologies. That DOES make a difference!


But there is cut-throat capitalism and capitlaism with a human face. Governments the world over have in place all sorts of anti-monopoly measures, fair-trade legislation and labour laws to "de-cut-throatise" capitalism. Poland's constitution identifies Poland's economy as a social market economy. The Platformers emphaised the market aspect, the "good-change" government want to humanise things by accentuating the people-friendly "social" element.

The central bank NBP is not a normal retail bank. Poland needs economic sovereignty, banks able to compete with Deutsche Bank, Citihandlowy, Uniceredit, Raffaisen et al, Polish-owned industry, Polish-owned retail chains, and for the first time the term polonisaiton or re-polonisation has become a battle cry. Hopefully it will not remain just a slogan. Despite the EU strait-jacket which restricts a country's freedom of movement, legislators still have ways of influencing economic development. Let's all hope they know how to use them effectively.

It does matter! Who controls the banks controls the country. In a war or other crisis foreign bankers can effectviely blackmail their host country. BTW do you know of any other post-1989 government that made repolonisation a plank in their political platform?

Does it matter who controls industry? The dumb Pollacks should be happy to even have jobs and be content to assemble VW or Daimler stuff. That's what mercenaries are for: assemble and shut the f*ck up! Why have your own industry in the first place?

The retail chains you mention are no competition to the real biggies: Tesco, LeClerc, Biedronka, Carrefour, Lidl, Praktiker, Leroy, Castorama et al which control the market.

We all remember when Gross wrote that 1600 Jews had been burnt alive in a small Jedwabne barn. Excavations and Poland's rabbi Rabbi eventually downsized the figure to no more than 350, but the 1600 version keeps surfacing to this day. There's a Polish saying: Pierwsze słowo do dziennika, drugie słowo do śmietnika (roughly translatable as: the first word makes the news, the second one lands in the dust bin).

That is where propaganda skills come in. The opposition have had 8 years to hone their propaganda skills and are masters of PR. If the PO camp weren't so good at image-building and frosting reality, voters would have seen through their scamming. skimming and other financial irregularities after the first 4-year term. The opposition have numerous writers, journalists and other PR types in their stable and were the first to rush and snitch to foreign institutions, media and governments, thereby internationalizing Poland's internal affairs. PiS tend to be somewhat rough round the edges when it comes to PR - they could stand some training in salesmanship and diplomacy.


Indeed, the phone rang and my finger moved a notch ot the left.

And it is precisely such xenophilia that has already become the UK's undoing and is udnermining the very pillars of Western civilisation. OK, one migth argue that the ex-colonial powers deserve such punishment, but what about countries whose flag the sun did set, who did not exploit and get rich on entire subjugated nations? Should they also have to pay the price for Anglo-Franco-Hispano-Portuguese greed, grnadeur and aggression? And similarly, should innocent countries be forced to pay the price for Merkel's folly?

Michnik is not only the mouthpiece but also the spiritus movens of the commie-oligarch post-roundtable clique in the service of foreign interest groups. His goal is to create a nondescript, commericlaised, cosmopolitan Poland according to the designs of his ethnic soulmates Soros, Kissinger, paedophile Cohen-Bandit (misspelling intended), Sachs, Balcerowicz with the Lehman Brorthers probably pulling strings somewhere in the background. The average Pole does not equate with that gang and has finally found an advocate and defedner in PiS who are speaking up for Poland's little guy, the Nowaks, Kowalskis, Wójcik, Wiśniewskis and Mazurs.


Spoken like a true LGBT operative! Unfortunately what you regard as "best" is not shared by the overwhelming majorty of the Polish nation.


No, they criticised the commie-turned-capitalis post-roundtable clique feathering their own next by serving foreign-interest groups. Criticising that is a bold, courageous and downright heroic act considering the Goliath they have taken on: the international EU-corporate mafia.

Life / Poles brighter than French, Americans, Israelis and Irish... [20]


One of the reasons was that cirumstances forced the Poles to sit out the culturally prolific 19th century -- a time of stepped-up foreign travel and cultural sharing. That was largely when the outside world first learnt about Russian vodka, caviare, ballet, Tolstoi, Chekhov and Dostoevsky; French gourmet food, champagne, cognac and vintage wines, Dumas, Hugo, Verlaine, impressionists, the Eiffel Tower; gin & tonic, fox hunts, Scottish bagpipes, Dickens, Carroll, Kipling; Italian opera and pasta, the Spanish corrida, Dutch windmills and tulips, etc., etc. The Poles meanwhile had seen their country carved up and sheer national survival was at stake, hence culture had to become prominently Polonocentric and largely unintelligible to the outside world. Therefore only exiles like Chopin, émigrés like Skłodowska-Curie and translinguals like Conrad could achieve any measure of international prominence. A mere 20 years of a freedom and another half-century of foreign subjugation. Now Poland finds itself in a state of economic subjugation, another situation conducive to imitation of things foreign rather than the development of an exportable, authetnic Polish culture.

News / Moody's credit rating of Poland unchanged, but outlook slumps [64]


The bald loudmouth in the employ of a clandestine British-based party perhaps?!


BAD NEWS FOR KODISTS AND ALL THOSE WHO WISH POLAND ILL:

May 17 European Investment Bank (EIB) plans to maintain its 2016 lending for Poland at last year's level of 5.5 billion euros ($6.2 billion), despite Moody's decision to cut its rating outlook last Friday, the EIB's Polish representative said.

In January, Standard and Poor's rating agency cut Poland's rating. Last week, Moody's Investors Service decided to cut Poland's outlook which indicates that its next decision might be to lower the country's rating, which might discourage foreign investors.

"We're observing the situation, but for now it does not worsen the perception of project risk which we analyse in Poland," EIB director in Poland, Piotr Michalowski, said.

The only people made nervous are PO scamsters, ex-SB types and others with things on thir conscience who prefer that information files on them should stay closed or, better yet, get run through the shredder. Jaruzel & Kiszczak destroyed tonnes of files at the papermill in Konstancin-Jeziorna but some stuff slipped through the cracks.


Precisely, and parliaments are known to be the scene of highly heated debates and wrangles. That alone would not have mattered to the outside world were it not for the snitchery and anti-Polish lobbying. Schetnya crying on Merkel's shoulder, Petru giving anti-government interviews to the NYT, Kijowski travelling to Washington to snitch against his own country. And Petru exclaiming to the world: "There are a quarter of a million of us", when even the normally aiased pro-KOD GW after a careful recount reported there had been only 56,000 marchers on 7 May.

But as the Polish saying goes, "pierwsze słowo do dziennika, drugie słowo do śmietnika!" The world-wide press plastered the 250,000 figure in headlines but how many published a rectification?

But foreign capital do not invest their money in Poland's parlaiment. The image projected by Poland's and the world's KOD-compliant media (GW, TVN, TVN, Spiegel, FAZ, BBC, CNN. Guardian, Le Monde, NYT et al) and seen from afar is one of a country in deep trouble wtih democracy a shambles and therefore a potentially high-risk counrtry for investors.


Indictment of the rabble-rousers sntiching and trying to involve outside forces in Poland's internal affairs thereby effectively creating the image of an unreliable and unpredictabel country in disarray. Hardly the climate anyone would want to invest in. There are so many far more vital issues in today's world (migrant crisis, terrorism, China's economic woes et al) that the otuside world would not have zeroed in on Poland's internal matters had it not been for KOD's Targowica-style snitchery and lobbying.

Merged: Dollar dips following Moody's announcemnt

On the first working day following Moody's announcement that Poland's rating would not be downgraded, the złoty rebounded to 3.86 to the US dollar from 3.91 several days earlier. Moody's downgraded only the outlook from stable to negative, pointing to "a substantial increase in (Poland's) current expenditures and a shift towards more unpredictable policies and legislation". Since the Polish economy is in good shape and the European Union has raised its 2016 GDP growth forecast to 3.6 from 3.3 percent, the decision was largely the result of intensive lobbying by the country's anti-government opposition. In January, Standard & Poor's downgraded Poland's rating. The Fitch rating agency, the other remaining member of the big three, is expected to announce its decision on Poland this summer.
