News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]

for the Polish pro-bankster/nomenklatura rallies

The endgame for PO and similar supporters of the entiteld cliques started on 25th October. The novetly of street brouhaha will soon wear off. The pro-oligarch faction will sporadically still huff and puff, chant and rant, but that will not affect PiS' good changes. One can expect 8, maybe 12 straight years of PiS' pro-Polish rule. Poland will emerge from it all as a country serving the entire nation, not just its undeservedly privileged elite.

nocturnal verdicts

But the nomenklatura/SB collaborator crowd in Nocna Zmiana (the 1992 parliamentary coup by Wałęsa, Kwaśniewski, Tusk, Kuroń, Pawlak et al) also took place at night.

Only goes to show that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!

PIS has already lost

If only post-nomenklatura/SB collaborator/bankster types could vote, PiS would surely lose. But the govt is moving ahead. Just now they are working so poverty alone cannot be grounds for taking kids from their parents and putting them in foster care. It's a race against time to fix up the PO legislation rejected by the TK. "Holier-than-thou" PO broke the law by ignoring those binding rulings for fear that would detract from their all-out election-campaign effort. Within 6 months, during which PiS intend to enact their main legislative projects, Poles will finally find thermselves in a people-friendly Poland, and their re-election will be a foregone conclusion. The Petrus, POs and KODs can go f*** themselves!

Off-Topic / Which PF expats are corporate "sleepers"? [55]

Polish values

Bóg - Honor - Ojczyzna are the supreme Polish values. They plus DNA determine who is and who is not a Pole.

nationwide protests

Only deluded idiots let hemselves be repeatedly manipulated to benefit some elite coterie.
Lincoln once said: You can fool some of the people all of the time and you can fool all ofthe people soem of the time. If he were alive in Poland 2016 he would have to add: You can fool all of the KOD marchers all of the time.

But more and more of them are actually wisening up and seeing through the ruse. Their ranks can be expected to thin as time goes on. Then where will poor Delph go to pretend he's and leading co-conspirator, key oppositon figure or other VIP? Oh the circuitous meanders of megalomania!

Off-Topic / Which PF expats are corporate "sleepers"? [55]

Ethnicity isn't fixed at birth.

Yes it is -- DNA is the objective determinator of genetic ethnicity. It cannot be willed, willed away or changed. Ethnic awareness is a subjective matter -- one is what one regards oneself as being. Then there is a totally artificial and bureacratic criterion -- state belonging or citizenship. By DNA, the Know-All Blowhard for example is probably Anglo or Anglo-Celtic with a possible Michnikite admixture (he refuses to answer: R U 1 2?), whilst being a ciitzen of South Africa, Austrlaia, the UK, Falklands or whatever country in which he chooses to stay two steps against the international arrest warrant he seems to be fleeing, now hoping his Polish sojourn will throw his pursuers off his trail.

Off-Topic / Which PF expats are corporate "sleepers"? [55]

Following the pro/anti-governemtn debate from the sidelines seems to make it increasingly clear that some of PF's KOD backers have a vested interest at stake. Just as political espionage involves strategically planting sleepers in different countries to engage in undercover sabotage and provocations, who knows if there aren't some corproate sleepers on PF. The more they support and laud KOD, the more likely it appears they may be getting kickbacks for their efforts.

They may hold or plan to take out Polish citizenship in a bid to gain credibiltiy and may loudly profess their love of and loyalty to Poland, but who pays the piper calls the tune. The global giants eager to maintain Poland's economic semi-colonial and mercenary status can afford to generously reimburse them for their dedication.

Which of the expats do you think would most like fit the bill?

hysteria,

Nothing more hysterical than the uproar instigated and feverishly stoked by the KOD leadership worried about losing their influence, clout, privilege and trough access.
That's what this is about -- the imponderables are just window dressing to cloud KOD's true motives.

theguardian

No wonder there is concern when the KOD/nomenklatura narration distorts the facts.
"Poland's president, Andrzej Duda, last week signed into law a bill that allows the government to appoint and dismiss executives in charge of TV and radio broadcasters," wrote the Guardian.

In fact the Treasury Ministry is able only to appoint execs of state-owned public media: TVP, Polish Radio and PAP.

Language / "Róbta, co chceta" - Polish slogan meaning and usage [25]

three magic words

Those 3 words simply exemplified the depravatory climate of Owsiak's youth-rearing approach. Young people are brainwashed 24/7 by violent commercial popculture -- films, rap crap, computer games and assorted imagery -- the promotion of sexual permsiveness and inter-genrational antagonism which driven a wedge between parents and children. If someone who finally getting youth involved in something beneficial, altruistic and respectable such as a charity campaign also promotes the above, is it any wonder so many young people today are so confused and go astray?

Language / "Róbta, co chceta" - Polish slogan meaning and usage [25]

The classic example is the appeal to young people "Róbta co chceta!" (Do whatever you damn please). That undermined all the efforts of parents, schools and the Church to raise young people to be decent human beings, not "anything goes" idiots. He eventually apologised and stopped using it, but the harm had been done. Young people are exposed to enough bad influence from the popcultrue industry, so people attracting them to something essentially good such as charitable involvement should strive to be authorities rather than seeking cheap popularity.

You are certainly evidence

On the contrary, KOD's high-sounding democracy rhetoric cannot fool any thinking person. When a bankster like Petru starts going on about imponderables like freedom, democracy, constitution, etc., one knows he's got an ulterior motive. That's simply not what bankers are about. They answer only to €€€, $$$, Z£ Z£ Z£!

PR and political marketing

That is disproved by the support enjoyed by KOD who have clearly out-PR-ed PiS.
If PiS PR was so good, it would have neutralised KOD's PiS-bashing. If KOD got their narration across to Brussels, they must've had better power of persuasion.

Let's not forget, that core KOD backers are seasoned poltical survivors who survived PZPR purges and the transition, positioned themselves at the trough and passed their skills on to the next generation.

so out of touch

I too believe he is doing a good job in terms of effective fund-raising and saving lives through modern medical equipment. That is not at issue. The problem is that his charitable efforts also serve as a cover for the leftist-libertine agenda he is peddling and brainwashing Poland's young people with.

are certainly proof of that

On the contrary, that is one of PiS' drawbacks -- poor PR and inept political marketing. That has always been a PZPR, UD, UW and PO forte and now KOD carries on that heritage. As in advertising, in propaganda it's not important what actually is but what is cleverly presented enough to be believed.

people who attend

People of any profession can be fooled by glib, slick, fast-talking demogogues. Do they still foolishly beleive they are saving democracy. Have they been told they are actually defending a small nomenklatura/bankster eltie? Maybe they'll finally see the light when their ranks begin to thin and they realise all their ranting and placard waving won't make one bit of difference. Justice must prevail for all except the over-entitled who have been exploiting the nation not only for 26 years but even longer. Equilibrium must prevail!

improperly appointed

Both sides did something wrong. Rather than beating a dead horse and stirring emotions, the TK has dropped the case for the sake of political harmony. One less pretext for the nomenklatura trough-defenders to harp on. Time to move foward and not dwell on minor past technicalities. The old POappoitned commie Rzepliński's tenure is drawing to a clsoe, so it'll soon be a non-issue.

successful fundraising appeals

The successful fund-raising and the worthwhile causes it serves are not questioned. Volunteering for a noble effdort should be its own reward without creating additional sociopathic climates to deprave minors. Young people think up enough weird and risky things on their own without Owsiak's assistance.

rowdy and loud appeals

It's like a little kid saying he likes Uncle Dan better than his parents because when he spent the night there once he wasn't told to say his prayer and brush his teeth before going to bed. In fact good ol' unc give him a Snickers to munch on in bed.

changes were not known

If PO hadn't tried to pull a fast one by illicitly appointed TK judges to retain their monopoly, there would probably not have been a TK issue at all. PiS are fulfilling their campaign promises and also dealing with other necessary legislation as needed.

The ultimate result is likely to be a Poland that has finally concerned itself with and done justice to the many whom the roundtable had disentitled. Only a fraction of the nation has nomenklatura/oligarch roots, but the KOD-ites have attracted the deluded and gullible who have fallen for their deceptive slogans such as allegedly "defending democracy".
