TK rulings

If you had more contact wtih normal Poles, not the renegade lefty-lib elitists you seem to hang out with, you would know how Jan Kowalski sizes up all the commotion and rumpus. This bit of doggerel tells it all:

Idą świnie PO ulicy,
Każda świnia głośno kwiczy.
"Czemu kwiczysz?" - ktoś zapyta.
"Odebrali nam koryta.
"A w korytach ośmiorniczki.
"Teraz mamy szczaw z doniczki!".

Pigs are marching down the street.
From each pig -- a squeal and squeak.
"Why do you squeal?" - if ask I may.
"They've taken all our troughs away.
"Those troughs were full of octopi.*
"With sorrel our diet's gone awry!"

*A reference to the baby octopi and other goruemt deligths enjoyed by by PO tape-scandal stars Sikorski and Rostowski at a champagne dinner at the taxpayer's expense.

worked for the PZPR

Do you mean Balcerowicz, Kuroń, Rzepliński, Kwaśniewski or Cimoszewicz who were not EU citizens at the time of their collaboration with the Soviet-imposed regime?

A truly sickening waste of the taxes

A truly sickening waste of taxpayer money to roll out law enforcement week after week to police and protect the KODerast trough-defenders, reroute traffic and repeatedly subject innocent citizens who just wnat to get on with their lives to disruption and inconvenience. Just to cater to a band of frustrated poor losers who cannot reconcile themselves to last October's defeat at the polls. Even the pervert parade or whatver it's called is only once a year. But week after week, after week, after week, after week, after week, after week, after week..... All that money down the drain and not a peep or a squeak from the Anglo-expat contingent! Very telling indeed!

bove ordinary law

They have efffectively turned themselves into the third chamber of parliament. The TK should be dissolved altogether and the supreme Court given whatever extra powers are needed to replace it. Does poor Poland need an extra set of pricey, toga-ed parasites?

plain language

Constituional lawyers agree that the constituion is ambiguous and open to extensive interpreation. Does it anywhere expressly state that the TK may issue their rulings in violation of the law?

The lack of a large middle class

That lopsided society -- 10% gentry, 90% commoners, of which the majority were peasant farmers, and the small town-dwelling burgher class was largely German and Jewish -- has been Poland's downfall and continues to be. The 20-year inter-war period was too short a time do create one. After the demise of communism, rather than try to make up for lost time through widespread business-vocational training and supporting indigenous entrepreneurship, successive governmetns opted for the immediate perks obtained by cosying up to foreign interest groups, turning Poland into a land of veritable mercenaries in their own country. It is the middle class that have produced the world's great writers, composers, philosophers, inventers, researchers, designers and tycoons. Poland still has a long way to go to catch up! Dep. PM Morawiecki is now Poland's only hope!

the ones releasing the files.

And more power to them. Too bad Wałęsa and his fellow-felons with things on their conscience stifled the operation. A year or two of confuson and the matter would have been settled. Now two decades on it remains unresolved and will continue to linger and poison the body politic for at least another generation. And all because of Wałęsa's "Bolek" hang-up.

bigotr

If you're so enamoured of an unwiedly quadrisyllabic word and turned off by its common abbreviation, here goes: homosexual.
Happy?

in almost all parties

Indeed, "almost" is an apt qualifier, because all except PiS. At the time of Wałęsa's 1992 parliamentary coup, their predecessor Porozumienie Centrum were likewise the only party with no SB informers in the released secret-police files.

Family in the PZPR

At the next KOD march someone should ask: Anyone present who was in the PZPR or had family members who were please raise your hand. If those who didn't raise their hand were subjected to lie detection moree than half would probably be found lying. That's why 30 of PO's MPs were former party members or SB informers. Not too many in PiS.

demonstrations

More dingbat demos? Good thing so few support them, otherwise they migth be dangerous. One hint to TVN: have the marchers walk in circles round the same buildings so the crowd scene will seem bigger. Hitler successfully tried it in 1930s Berlin and it deceived old President Hindenburg.

Be all that as it may, the average Pole views the KOD crowd m as an exotic bit of extravagance like the homo parades for those who haven't anything better to do on their Saturday day off.

interesting thing

You and your tag-team cronies have clearly indcaated what you're really on about. Serious problems or conflicts are labelled as "interesting" and dire consequences are described with "it'll be fun to watch". One cannot help but notice that since the October PiS victory tag-team members have rooted for those goading and baiting the new government and looking forward to yet another round of amusement. Hey guys -- Poland is serious buisenss, not a wrestling match, action film or computer game. If you're out for fun and excitement go to Ulster or Baghdad and drop bricks from fly-overs on cars passing below, but give Poland a break!

volunteering

6 years of Nazi occupation and 45 years of Soviet puppet rule have sufficed to destroy social voluntarism. During PRL every activist of any party or Rural Farmwives' Circle, Volunteer Fire Brigade, Scouting movement, Philatelists Society, etc. asked only: what's in it for me? It may take several decades to eradicate that attitude.

Constitutional deadlock broken

All the TK have to do is reconvne, this time in accordance with the law, pass their ruling and problem solved. Eventually new rules governing the TK should be developed and the constituion amended. Or maybe (better yet) the TK should be dissolved altogether, since the Supreme Court can take over their duties and taxpayer money can be saved. Isn't Poland too poor to support every manner of bureaucratic parasites? The US have managed just fine without any extra TK when they've got a proper High Court.

Czechs

I too was surprised, but Czechs rank amongst the nations best liked by Poles. Personally I never felt any closenmess towards them becuase of their historic pro-Germanic leanings, cowardice, accptance of hard-line Stalinism and current widespread atheism.

Constitutional prohibition

The latest from Poland's beloved President Andzrej Duda is that no legal solution to the constitutional crisis exists, so a political one must be sought. Check out TV Republika for details,

pre-Christian Polish roots? what about pro-self-Slavic feelings?

There is absolutely no interest amongst Polonia in pagan religiosity or Panslavism. Poles and Polonians do not use the Slavic criterion to determine their national sympatheis or antipathies. Russians are the bad guys, Ukranians as vicitmised by the Rooskies are more acceptable (despite Wołyń), Hungarians, Italians and Czechs are liked, mixed feelings towards Germans, America is loved and respected, The Balkans are rather remote, but Croatia (as Catholic and non-Cyrillic) is generally preferred to Serbia which is seen as too pro-Muscovite.

Po polsku / Ustawa antyterrorystyczna w Polsce [6]

Petru i opozycje

Było jak było, ale zawzse lepsze to od plateformerskiego nierządu i petrudolarów, którymi Soros finansuje polski galimatias. Od Schetynów, Michników. Kijowskich i b. esbeków zachowaj nas Panie!

Merged: Co sądzisz o ustawie antyterrorystcznej?

Rząd zaprezentował główny zarys ustawy antyterrorystycznej, która ma wejść w życie przed lipcowym szczytem NATO w Warszawie i Światowymi Dniami Młodzieży w Krakowie. Przepisy umożliwią skuteczne i szybkie działanie wobec zagrożeń terrorystycznych. M,in, podejrzanych o terroryzm będzie można zatrzymać przez całą dobę; dziś przeszukania i zatrzymania są możliwe jedynie w godzinach od 6 do 22. Projekt zakłada też prawo do natychmiastowego wydalania cudzoziemców stanowiących zagrożenie dla bezpieczeństwa państwa. W razie potrzeby będzie można zawiesić imprezy i zgromadzenia, a telefony komórkowe na kartę będzie można kupić jedynie za okazaniem dowodu tożsamości. Władze też będą miał szerszy dostęp do baz danych.

Zanim jeszcze projekt ustawy antyterrorystycznej został ogłoszony, ziejąca nienawiścią do rządu "Gazeta Wyborcza" już zaczęła nią straszyć, że pod pretekstem walki z terroryzmem PiS zamierza zwalczać opozycję. Po ogłoszeniu projektu Rafał Trzaskowski z Platformy Obywatelskiej powiedział: "Uważam, że są powody do niepokoju. Na pewno nie pozwolimy, żeby w związku z zagrożeniem terrorystycznym nakładać kaganiec na nasze wolności". Inni opozycjoniści uważają zaproponowane przez rząd środki za prezsadne, twierdząc, że Polska nie jest pierwszym celem terrorystów islamskich.

News / What kind of Poland do most Poles want? [101]

One Polonian newspaper recently published this list of postulates as to what type of Poland most Poles want. There is little if any difference in that regard between Polonia and Poland's patriotic majority. It goes against the grain of only the trough-defending post-RT elite and their PF wannabes:

1. A democratic and sovereign country.
2. An EU member as an equal partner.
3. A country united linguistically and culturally.
4. Demographically growing.
5. Proud of tis Christian history.
6. A country striving to possess in their own hands industry, banks and media.
7. Vigilant and wise in defense of its vital interests.
8. A country strong in military defense and social voluntarism.

Po polsku / Ustawa antyterrorystyczna w Polsce [6]

Mimo ustawicznych ataków ze strony pretzgranych i sfrusttrowanych "obrońców koryta" rząd PiS sprawnie działa i przezornie stara się przewidywać potencjalne wezwania i zagrożenia. Minister spraw wewnętrznych i administracji Mariusz Błaszczak pytany o ustawę antyterrorystyczną na antenie Radia RMF FM, odpowiedział, że "jest ona gotowa". Zdaniem szefa resortu, ustawa będzie wzbudzać kontrowersje, bo opozycja jest zaKODowana na atakowanie wszystkich propozycji rządu. "Tak to jest, że zaraz pewnie spotkam się z atakiem ze strony Nowoczesnej i opozycji totalnej spod szyldu PO" - mówił Błaszczak. Porównał tę sytuację do ostrej krytyki rządu podczas zaprezentowania ustawy o policji. Błazszcak nie chciał zdradzić szczegółów ustawy, ale podkreślił, że Polska musi uniknąć błędów Zachodniej Europy.

News / Father Popiełuszko beatified in Warsaw [28]

Merged: Blessed Jerzy Popiełuszko on TVP1

Anyone watch the documentary on Popiełuszko on Monday night? I thought I knew most everything about his ministry, persecution and martyrdom, but this iflm inlcuded footage never shown before. This is one of the films supressed by the Tusk regime apparently not to offend his SLD comrades. Incidentally, TVP Historia has a new series called "Półkowniki" (shelfers), films consigned to archive shelves because of PO/PSL censorhip. Now they are finally seeing the light of day.

Re the Popiełuszko documentary, I hadn't knwon that two fisherman who witnessed his body being thrown over the dam died in accidents a short while later. Also family members of attorneys prosecuting the murderous trio died in mysterious circumstances as did at least one Popiełuszko relative. A lady by the smae name was killed by mistake. Yet the blood-stained trio, or foursome, because there was their direct superior Pietruszka, took the wrap witihout revealing who had put them up to it. It is commion knowledge that mid-level Interior Min. employees would never singlehandedly undertake such a rub-out without approval from aboe. So Michnik's "man of honour" Kiszczak went to his grave untainted by the Popiełuszko murder.

Witkos

WITKOS: This nickname-turned-surname was dervied from Witek, the hypocoristic (pet) name for Witold, once a very popular first name. Witold is the Polish rendering of the Lithuanian first name Vytautas. There is no English equivalent.

clearly unconstitutional law

If one could know ahead of time which law is unconstituional, why bankroll that motley crew of toga-ed parasites. Think of thed saving of taxpayer money

But the law requires certain porcedures: a formal session, the specifed quorum for the matter to be discussed and a decison taken. The TK acted illegally and no self-respecting PM will publish, thereby endorse an illegal measure. It has been clearly pointed out she could face 3 years in prison if she did. So stop flogging a dead horse. Full stop.

You mean like the one

No, I was more referring to the OFE heist in broad daylight. A bit of fancy, manipulaitve language and the support of the PO scamsters and their hayseed sidekicks enabled Tusk to pull his swindle and switch retirement fuunds contrary to the will of futre OAPs. And why? To shore up his porous, mismanged budget.

Tusk's son was involved

Regardless of whether the Tusk fmaily was somehow involved in the scam, the fact remains that the anything-goes allegedly pro-business climate of the Tusk era provided fertile soil for all sorts of scams. Plichta had set up a number of fly-by-night firms by changing their names and addresses and falsifiyng documents along the way. How was it that he could suddenly soar to wealth and power overnight with his Ambergold pyramid scheme and pursue it for so many years. Only Mr & Mrs Plichta may be in the dock, but their trial is an indictment of the enitre scam-conducive Tusk era.

Merged: Biggest Tusk-era scamsters on trial

The presumed perpetrators of the Ambergold swindle, the single largest scam of the Tusk era, have gone on trial in Gdańsk. A married couple Marcin and Katarzyna Plichta face charges of cheating 19,000 customers out of a combined sum of 851 million złotys (€ 200 million) from 2009 to 2012 through their pyramid-style parabank scheme. Monday's hearing was delayed several hours as a result of a bomb scare which turned out tobe a false alarm.

PM Tusk's son was involved with the OLT airline set up by Plichta. Tusk told parliament he had warned people about Ambergold but one MP set things straight by saying: "You may have warned your own son but not the Polish people."

gay black Satanists?

That is so stale, about 2000 years old. The Romans called it reductio ad absurdam, the last resort of those who run out of cogent arguments. Apparently also of those who never had any cogent arguments in the first place.
