News / Poland to return to Catholic tradition? [177]

Poland bans certain medical procedures on religious grounds.

Medical procedures don't equate with medical treatment. You aren't talking about sex change procedure are you?
Let me rephrase my question. Have you been refused medical care of your illness or injury on religious grounds?

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

There's long been a healthy contempt for the behaviour of the church, and the RCC in Poland is currently very problematic.

Nah, you seemingly filed to understand that relation between the RCC and Poles that has nothing to do with religion per se. I'm talking about something that Poles have in common a certain consensus about the role of the RCC in the Polish culture and history.

Those who don't partake in that consensus are a foreign implant in the Polish culture, mainly of the soviet origin. That break is visible in every sphere of activity and correspond with political divide in Poland.

It's not that you're forced to perform anything, it's that your civil liberties are interfered

Would you be able to provide specifics and tell me which civil liberties in particular are as you put it interfered with?

For example look at situation regarding IVF treatment in Poland.

What about that treatment?

A State should not impose an ideology upon their citizens

Not your concern mate! The same goes for all and sundry foreigners who are trying to impose their ideology upon Polish citizen in Poland.

News / The dossier of TW "Bolek" - Poland's IPN assisted by police enters the home of the late general Kiszczak [306]

Now don't be so naive.

All that info about Wałęsa is nothing new. Personally I think that that spectacle unfolding in the media is redundant. That man plays no part on the political scene in Poland. He hasn't been involved in anything remotely resembling a real political activity for years, nobody cares what he has to say. There was no need to expose him in this way.

He is in the world for bad or worse a symbol of the Solidarity movement in Poland, I would just let him be, provided he would stop forthcoming with opinions about political situation in Poland.

More interesting is how Jaro Kaczynski got out of internment whereas the true dissidents

That is just something I would advice against i.e. slander based on individual political sympathies or lack of those thereafter. It just the worst kind of gossip.

Lech Wałęsa, Adam Michnik, Jacek Kuroń etc had it so much harder.

Did they? Somehow I don't see they had that much harder. Has somebody wrote a comparison study on levels, degrees and tiers of the hardship which particular members of the opposition faced while in the custody of Jaruzelski regime? Adorned with humorous engraving and with charts and diagrams.

I would think that prominent or know in the west as dissidents have been treated better than some obscure or unknown to the public members of the opposition.

I don't think that Adam Michnik has been treated badly. After all he was defending Jarzuleski saying or writing famous - "F@@ek off from the general!" Also he said that a person in change od his imprisonments "Kiszczak is an honorable man". I would think that such an attitude would indicate he remembered his time behind bars with nostalgia and found memories. Unless the man is a masochist he was apparently having a time of his life.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

What is decaying (and they absolutely can't stand this) is the inward-looking, rooted in spurious tradition, and largely derided neo-Endek tendency that JK and his gang are very much part of.

You have it all so wrong that it is funny. I'm not by all means PiS supporter but yes I supported them against PO and the system. I don't support them because they are devoid of those attributes you describe to them.

They are not Endek they are socialists, they are pro-EU, they are USA ass lickers, democratic and so fourth. The only reason is that they are patriots and adhere to the Polish history and don't embrace progressiveness.

You being from aboard and all filed to grasp what the Church mean in the Polish history and for Poles, being on the good side of Church is a police move as the large chunk of their constituency expect that, the same goes for so called gays rights.

You are looking at PiS from a completely wrong angle hence your skewed view. To make it easier for you to comprehend what it is al about any center-left party in the west from about 40 years ago. Not that that comparison hits the nail on the head but it give you at lest a glimpse of what I'm talking about.

If it comes to Endek's they are aplenty of young and a very young people organizing themselves and setting themselves for the next stage in the oncoming decades - win elections and set that country on the right path.

if it's revealed that Wałęsa was a paid informer, then it means that *every* figure in Polish political history is now under suspicion

Sorry to burst your bubble, there is no needs for ifs or buts, every figure in Polish history should be under suspicion including Walensa. Those who are rising to his defense ( as it has been quite clear for some time that he is less than heroic and hide many a skeleton in his wardrobe) are doing that only because he was/is a one of pillars the post-communist system that hopefully comes to an abrupt and infamous end.

Without video of those signatures being made, those pieces of paper are slightly less valuable than the copy of the gospels I have which has been signed by the authors.

Harry it is not about your claims and your posts on PF, those things debated above are a serious stuff in the real world. Now run back to your mates they are building another castle in the sand without you.

that nothing is 'revealed' that in any way reflects badly on anybody involved with PIS.

Come on, spare us your ridiculous notions, what the Kiszczak's widow has do to with PiS? Nothing at all.
You are posting the mind boggling nonsense on this forum.

Mirosław Garlicki

He was without doubt corrupted.

Ziobro and self-confessed criminal Mariusz Kamiński held aa press conference to announce the doctor was a murderer,

Nah, he announced him responsible for his patient dead due to malpractice. He would have been found guilty in the USA but in Poland he walked scot free, doubts remained.

Anyway he wasn't harassed and what more it had nothing to do with politicks.
The only criminal is that judge who passed that idiotic and nonsensical sentence in the case of MK.

It's normal for PiS to use the security agencies against perceived enemies.

Hmm you mean PO who has been harassing more than one person, some even have been arrested for years without trial on trump up charges what is against the law.

Name one person who have been persecuted during the time PiS was in charge and who proved to be innocent?

It's not me that they should worry about, it's how it will be reported abroad that they should worry about

If they would be worried by a small issue like that that would be no a chance for such a base in the first place.

It

However, they built their careers on the argument that Wałęsa and the liberal intellectuals at the top of Solidarity betrayed Poland's transition to democracy by allowing communists to keep their hands on the levers of power in exchange for the status of high office

Hmm ...isn't that an obvious fact rather than an argument as they put it?
All seems to be forgetting that Walesa in second go at the office as an acting president got 1% of votes - an unprecedented result for the last two decades.

Fuelled by a cocktail of grief and revenge, the controversy surrounding his brother's death gave new impetus to Jarosław's mission to "remodel" Polish democracy

That is actually a lie, they had the same goal all along or at least they claimed they had. 2010 hasn't changed that much in the PiS political line.

gangsters", "cronies", and "reds"

That's what they are! He doesn't brand them, he repeats after others. It is not that is PiS rhetoric, all patriots in Poland agree in that even if they disagree on everything else.

he claimed that migrants from the Middle East were bringing cholera and dysentery to Europe, risking the spread of "various parasites and protozoa

People without any papers form all corners of the world, leaving in unhygienic circumstances for months if not years, camped together and tramping through the mud, woods and fields across many countries are just happy and healthy as Larry. All they spread is love, rainbows and unicorns.

he implied that people demonstrating against the Law and Justice government were "the worst sort of Poles"

That is another lie. In 45 minutes interview asked what he thinks about Polish politicians denouncing and slandering newly elected Polish government (at the time of the interview they were in power like a month) to all he cares to listen or they political friends in the various countries of the world.

It wasn't never about those who opposed him nor about demonstrators it was aimed at those politicians who were doing that.
Anyway in my opinion those demonstrating are scum and that is evident. Peru a long time lobbyist for banksters in Poland, Lis a long time propagandist for the post-communist scum that were in charge for the last two decades in one form or other, others prominent activist and politicians of the system.

the convulsions that threaten further to destabilise Europe in its hour of crisis.

Oh really? Well fekk you very much! Is not for a self proclaimed Emperor of Europe Merkel there wouldn't be any hour of need. On the other hand due to the EU polices Europe is constantly in its hour of crisis if not one thing than another.

About all those pages long rambling one only can be said. It is a fact that after 1989 people who make a deal where supping each other and old commies plus few so called Solidarity leaders (in fact they were people chosen by the comes to play the part of the opposition) have been given a place on the bench.

Most people have been fooled or have been not in position to organize or do something about after 40 years of the soviets oppression. A level playfield wasn't something that existed at all.

To make a long story short those people who have been beneficiary of the 89' transition of power wouldn't have lost the last election if not for the fact that their are totally unable to government a country or anything at all.

They are an end result of the system that at its core is parasitic, they wouldn't be able to exists without taxes and a state support. To improve economical, political or any other issue for Poland and Poles they have proven to be unable.

Whatever or not PiS will do a better job - I do not know, I have my doubts.
There is few promising movements in Poland with a popular support from the young people for the most part!

In the messianist mindset,

What he/she is about? That is some kind of nonsense? Religion is often only rhetoric's in some circles in Poland, even those who are actually believers and see religion as an important part of the Polish education and culture do not embrace that 200 years romantic concept of a long dead poet. Creepers what a stupid thing to write. Next we can hear about Baryonic mindset in regard to the British contemporary politicians.

In fact Smolensk was handled so badly by Tusk's government that he should be held personally responsible for that utter failure and I think some jail time for him is due.

It is an assertion that depends on the notion of Poland eternally under siege

Aha! Where did you get it from, should tray your hand as a political fiction writer.
The thing is people are hoping that PiS will be solving problems, that would be in contrast to PO who was creating problems and fighting with anti-Semites, homophobes and rainbow haters, telling people it is OK to die in the ditch from starvation as long as a progressive world is loving Poland for their progressive thieving inept leaders i.e. themselves.

Angela Merkel may have been brought to power by the Stasi

Rather pointing out her background that is not exactly devoid of shadows.
When an MP from a party supportive of Law and Justice declared in parliament in November that "The good of the nation is above the law

Hmm rather not part of the pack like the rest of them - supportive is that even means anything in politics? Surely if you know that you know also context? If you know that context you cannot but agree with that a statemant made by a hero of Solidarity movement! Morawiecki is a real hero and a fake one like Walensa who according to himself is a progeny of the imperator Valens lol!

attempts to dismantle the independent institutions of the post-1989 republic,

Aha for example a symbol of the independent republic - Constructional Tribunal - created by the soviet general Jaruzelski to justify all unlawful acts of his military coup and who is responsible for many a murders of people who resists his commie rule and his Soviet masters including 16 years old poet.

In all a good inside into not so nice midst of somebody who evident has no clue or aim to misinform!

Ironside, they're neo-Nazis.

They are not. Waving those hands means nothing.
If anything ideologically they are close to WB's anti-capitalistic ideas. In their credo they are distancing themselves both from racism and socialism which as we know were two pillars Nazism was build on.,

I'm sure they wouldn't want to be associated with neo-Nazis, given they were still struggling for the Poland that was theirs - the multicultural, multiethnic Poland of 1918-1939.

Nah they were fighting for an independent Poland, multiculturalism had nothing to do with it.

Well, delph what I can say. You should know batter but I cannot pretend to be surprised by your attitude and by the disinformation you are only to happy to use whenever it suits your agenda.

In this case however you are quoting form a newspaper that is well know in Poland as a leftie rag and a platform of apologists for the commie totalitarian criminals and their crimes against Polish nation.

For those unsuspected readers who know little about Polish affairs:
That march is hold in honor of Polish underground officers and soldiers who had fought bravely against new occupant of Poland - Soviet Union. After the WWII ended they continued an armed resistance by fighting against totalitarian Soviet regime and they paid an ultimate price.

Soviet oppressors attempted to blackened their names calling them fascist when in fact those people were for the most part veterans of the six years long struggle against Nazi Germany.

The same tried Soviet methods are being used to slander people who want to commemorate those heroes. Calling them Nazi and whatnot is really low and stinks!

It need to be stressed that it all comes from the same newspaper that have been firmly defending for decades all kinds of commie criminals from justice, including top brass.

They don't have much of a majority, and given that Morawiecki and Gowin are already agitating against their socialist promises, the whole thing might not last that long.

That means nothing, you are deluding yourself.

:-] It takes a while to get to know somebody, to see if they can actually do the job.

So what is eating you this time eh? I have thought that you are not longer a boy and you know better but I can see you are reverting to your old sad self. You know what, you big enough, old enough and ugly enough to not be given any slack on the account of you coming long way indeed from yo9ur working class background.

Thereafter I'm not holding back my reactions anymore.
As to above quote, that goes without saying, in fact goes with the territory that it is your responsibility to hire the right person for the job and it is your fault if you failed to do so. Sure you can claim that you were lied to and deceived - those are weak excuses. After all you are the man, to you belong all the credit and by the same token to you belong all the blame. If you are deceived you learn from your mistake and move on rather than came on PF to make it Englanders versus Poles match only to justify your rant.

First you hire an idiot who cannot do the job according to your expectations and they you blame not only individual in question but also his ethnicity and generally his nation. How cleaver is that eh?

Polish racial values....another sign of lack of intelligence.
