News / Kaczorowski should be reburied at Wawel [15]
The Alliance of Polish Veterans and Independence Organisations is calling
for the reburial of Poland’s last émigré President Ryszard Kaczorowski
at Krakow’s Wawel Castle-Cathedral complex, Wprost.pl has reported. The
recent exhumation of his grave showed his remains had been mixed up with
that of another Smolensk air-crash victim. Poland’s First Couple Lech and
Maris Kaczyński, who died in the crash, were buried at Wawel despite
protests by anti-PiS circles.

But they would have greater access with the digital multiplex slot. Slots have been accorded to unknown, unprepared, fly-by-night outfits, and, when they couldn't afford the fee the Broadcast Authority bent oiver backwards and even agreed to break it down into instalments. The bottom line is that the ruling clique is using every legal ruse they can find to defend the monopollstic status of the mainstream leftist-liberal media. Is this not a rehash of the old Stalinist tactic -- Jest człowiek? Znajdzie się przepis (Got a man? A regulation can be found to deal with him).

Life / How popular is Radio Maryja in Poland? [163]
Merged: Truth about Radio Maryja
Review of Alleluja I pod prad (Swiadectwa o Radio Maryja), by Jerzy Robert Nowak. 2009. MaRoN, Warszawa.
Reviewer: Mr. Jan Peczkis
Information About, and Correct Understanding of, RADIO MARYJA
ALLELUJA AND LET’S PROCEED UPSTREAM: WITNESSES TO RADIO MARYJA, is the title of this eye-opening book. It contains numerous statements of support of RADIO MARYJA from priests, bishops, and other prominent officials. One would never guess this from reading the so-called mainstream media.
RADIO MARYJA serves as inspiration to its listeners, contains much devotional and theological content, and deepens their faith. It is a welcome delight to long-isolated Poles in places like Lithuania (p. 86), Kazakhstan (p. 26), and Irkutsk. (p. 43).
Not surprisingly, RADIO MARYJA is the common target of vitriolic attacks by the liberal left because it is a bastion of faith and Polish patriotism, and a source of truth. It does not kowtow to political correctness or to other forms of thought-control practiced by liberals. (Bishop Stanislaw Napierala, pp. 43-44; Professor Zbigniew Żmigrodzki, p. 88).
Apart from its religious programming, RADIO MARYJA defends the rights of the unborn, defends the presence of the Cross in public places, defends Christian morality, defends the dignity of the family, defends the sacredness of children and youth, defends the Gdansk shipyard, and defends various institutions against licentiousness and destruction. (Bishop Edward Frankowski, p. 36; Bishop Stanisław Napierała, p. 45).

It is a lean dark meat loosely reminsicent of beef and should be larded before baking to make it tender.
Are the city pigeons so abundant in many places edible? That is, is cathcing, killing, cooking and eating them legally allowed? Secondly, can they be carriers of disease?

Have had venison, quite nice if it's young and pre-marinated. Rabbit is very lean and quite dry so it needs to be larded. I presume the French must stew it in wine. If you saw a skinned squirrel it wouild look like a rat, but it is very tasty. Hare can be too gamey with a bitter edge - require several days of marination. Pheasant, patrtidge, quail and grouse are superb if well prepared.

Actually hte German leftist thugs essentially came to Warsaw for the same reason the Polish kibole did -- to kick a*se, bonk skulls and bash faces. There were actually three or even four separate events: the historical military parade (some of whose paricipants were attacked by the German leftist thugs), the Indpendence March coming in from Plac Unii Lubelskiej (mostly famlies and other peaceful citizens). It turned out that for a week prior to the event a motley collection of leftists, arnarchists, pro-abortionists, anti-fascists, radical feminists, anti-globalists, homosexual rights agitators and other suchlike self-styled 'progressives' had used the Internet to rally support and brought the Gemran thugs in for the event. There were even instructions on how to deal with the police.
Komorowski was right in calling for no head coverings, fireworks and other potentially dangerous objects at mass assemblies.
Kaczyński was wrong to side with the kibole to spite Tusk. Those two are something else! If Kaczyński said water was wet, Tusk would try to prove it was dry. Same holds for Kaczyński.

Lest the passage of time blur the realities of last Nov. 11th, it should be remembered that it was started when leftist-anarchists imported from Germany attacked historical re-enactors and police early in the day at Świętokrzyska street. When such broad-daylight attacks occur, that invariably unleashes a spiral of aggression that easily gets out of hand with people of varying views getting into the fray. Of the some 200 people detained by police, nearly half were German anarchists brought in by radical Polish lefties (Antifa and suchlike) to cause disturbances. Lewaki i anarchole started it and afterwards all hell broke loose. Teuton trouble-makers should be turned back at the border.

Nearly half of the rioters arrested yesterday by police during clashes in the Independence Day in Warsaw is the leftists militants from Germany. About their riots call plans in Warsaw warned "Rzeczpospolita" previously.

Here is an itenresting link about Polish kiełbasa:
Without a doubt the word "Kielbasa" has worldwide recognition yet it is just one of many wonderful meat products that have been produced for centuries in Poland. It is also often misunderstood. Kielbasa is the Polish general name for "a sausage". You can not walk into a Polish store and say: "please give me a pound of kielbasa". The sales lady surrounded by 50 different kinds of kielbasa will inevitably reply: "yes, but which one"? It is like going into a deli and asking for some cheese. Sure, but which one: American, Provolone, Swiss, Gorgonzola, Gouda, Muenster - you have to provide some details.
As the most popular Polish sausage is without a doubt Polish Smoked Sausage, (Polska Kielbasa Wędzona) we are willing to speculate that this is what people have in mind. This is probably what the first immigrants brought with them to America. The little problem we face here is that you can find Polish Sausage in almost every supermarket in the USA and no two are made the same way. The Polish Smoked Sausage has been well defined for centuries and almost everybody in Poland knows what goes inside.
