News / How would Poland change for the better (or worse) under a PiS government? [257]


That's just paper play money. You forgot the world's only true, valuable adn credible currency: In God We Tru$t!


Indeed, for scammers, bribe-takers and lustration liars it may get worse.
For foreign bankers and retailers finally forced to pay their fair share of taxes ditto. But at long last Poland now has a truly Polish party at the helm, not paid goons in the service of foreign big-money interersts. Poland is not for the "markets" as the crypto-criminal fringe of speculators and exploiters are often referred to but for the average, hard-working and usually cash-strapped Pole. It is for families with children (500 zł) and poor families whose kids cannot be sent to an orphanage simply because of poverty. It is protection of Polish farmland which will not as easily as before falll into foreign hands via strawmen. It is about promoting history, culture and Polish heritage as at least a partial antidote to the cheap, tacky popculture junk flooding the country. It is about saving jobs rather than increasing unemployment because behind each job is a home, schoolchildren and a family trying to make ends meet. And it is about cleaning up the mess left by PO and leading to a Poland guided by the traditonal values encapsulated in the time-honoured motto: Bóg, Honor, Ojczyzna!

The 3rd of May Cosntituion itself was a modern and progressive document for its day which gave rights to all social classes for the first time and included Montesquieu's tri-partite governance. It was a good attempt to reverse the decompositon of the state caused by years of warring, Saxon misrule and internal anarchy perpetuated by "liberum veto". It was precisely because Poland's absolutistically ruled neighbours feared the "democratic Polish cancer" would spread to their countries that they nipped the situation in the bud through the partitions.

The amateurisz makeshift 1921 constituion introduced chaos and mayhem on the Polish political scene. 12 different governments arose nad fell within a short space of time. Long-winded tirades, constant squabbling and even fist fights erupted in the Sejm and police had to be called in to remove unruly MPs. The assassination of Poland's first president occurred in that genral climate of anarchy. Piłsduski called it Sejmokracja -- a strong but reckless parliament and a weak week govenrmetn -- and onlyhis 1926 coup restored order. The 1935 constituion strengthened the executive and would have produced a strong and stable Poland were it not for Herr Hitler and tovarishch Stalin.


True legitimacy could be derived only from the 3rd of May Constitution. The US Constituioin comes from that very same era and remains in force with a few amendments thrown in to this day. Post-PRL Poles made the mistake of not invoking that landmark document for inspiration.

Merged: Sneaky PO oufoxed over in vitro

In yet another attempt to sneak something through before leaving office (probably as obedient lackeys of foreign pharmaceutical concerns) the Prime Offenders though they were pulling a fast one by extending their state-funded testube-baby programme to 2019. Fortunately, health min. Konstanty Radziwiłł, got wind of it and announced the programme will run only until mid-2016 since there are more pressing health problems for the limited budget to finance.

One wonders whether the Platfusy will go cry-babying to the TK they control to have Radziwill's move declared "unconstitutional".

Demo organisers often claim they represnet a cross-section of the population and usually inflate the figures. Police counts are usually more accurate. But since the impression of a large crowd is an indispenable propaganda tool, the organisers of many demos try to enlarge them by hook or by crook. That can include social networking, texting or providing added incentives (cash or free beer for instance).

KOD is surely a misnomer. Considering the number of PO supporters and sympathisers involved, KOOSR would be be an apter acronym:
KOMITET OBRONY OBCYCH SI£ RYNKOWYCH!
BTW, since you have moved on to your next project (KOD), you still haven't explained what ever happened to the giant rainbow which was to span Plac Wilsona!


Here are some suggested slogans for your planned demos:

Niech żyją zachodni bankowcy - nasi ukochani sponsorzy!

PO bluzga, jątrzy, pyta -- chce się dopchać do koryta!

Bruksela naszą milością!

Lobbyści i sprzedawczyki wszystkich narodów łączcie się!

Aby Zachód się rozwijał, a naszym sponsorom, żyło się lepiej!

Maybe a bit of English for variety:

Join PO -- perks and kickbacks guaranteed!

Banksters forever!

Don't discard your party ID, the Platform will rise again!

Patricians, oligarchs, nouveaux riches -- PO love to be on your leash!


You still haven't explained what ever happened to the giant rainbow which was to span Plac Wilsona! R U 1 2?

Although the majority of rank and file PO supporters tend to believe the party's slogans about democracy, freedom and constitutionality, the Platform is a typical sponsored party with a hidden agenda. They are sponsored by Western big-money interests and the party's agenda is to lobby for whatever serves their masters' interests.

In actuality, the average West European has little interest in Poland's internal rows. Why then are the Western media are making such a big fuss about alleged threats to Polish democracy and the prospect of dictatorial rule? It is because such terms as "repolonisation" of banks and media and the prospect of foreign banks and retail concerns paying their fare share of taxes sets off alarm bells in the West's capitalist circles. Germany's media barons who control most of Poland's newspapers/magazine market are especially concerned. All this also puts pressure on chief lobbyist PO for failing to get re-elected and prompts the Platform to demonstrate they are doing everything possible (State Tribunal threats, media attacks, marches, protests, petitions) to destabilise the ruling camp. The average PO supporter sincerely believes his party is fighting for democracy and only the Platformer leadership, political scientists and intelligent observers (including all or most PF-ers) know what the score is.

One should add that the PO function like a well-oiled machine, are very image conscious and spout extremely very smooth, slick and convincing propaganda. By comparison, PiS tend to be rough round the edges, lack finesse and stubbornly pursue at times unrealistic goals. But at least they are sincere and have no hidden sponsors or agendas. In a word, they are on no-one's leash.

The far-sighted PiS government plan to reculturate public TV and make it a broadcaster of mission in more than name alone. In other words, it should educate and raise the cultural level of the viewing public by providing more real culture, music, history, art, serious disucssion, etc. and less popculture crapola, more original Polish content and fewer licenced American sitcoms. The Prime Offenders were content to keep the proles down wtih cheap bread and circus.

And he's right. If people of the cosmopolitan/globalist Church-bashing Brit Bully ilk had predominated during the partitions and the Church had not kept the national spirit alive, probably no Poland would have emerged after World War I. So too Radio Maryja has served as a counterweight to the Millers, Michniks and Biedrońs of this world by providing patriotic Catholic Poles with their own information, cultural and spiritual media outlet.

You're nearly right and almost all of them are basically feathering their own nest. But there are always a few exceptions of noble, patriotic and dedicated defenders of the nation. Piłsudski and Kaczyński immediately come to mind, also Dmowski and Paderewski.

Merged: Adam Michnik -- Poland's No. 1 fascist!

"The biggest fascist in Poland is Adam Michnik and his 'Gazeta Wyborcza'. No-one else refers to Poles with more disdain than that newspaper," remarked film-maker Ewa Stankiewicz during a counter-demo outside Kaczyński's home. "That is fascism, that is the NSDAP. It was Michnik who introduced hatred and contempt into Polish public life."
