Yes, it could be Jewish, as rasch in German (of which YIddish is a dialect) means quick, swift, nimble, etc. If it got shortened it might have originally been something like Raschmann, Raschdorf or Raschberg.

KRASZEWSKI: toponymic nick from several localities named Kraszew or Kraszewo. Root is "kras-" (to beautify, enhance, adorn),so one might roughly translate those names as Beautyville, Glamourburg, Enhancerville, Adornton, etc. The largest Kraszewski concentrations are found in the Warsaw Łódź and Białystok areas.

KAMECZURA: Possibly derived from the first name Kamil. The -czura ending usually serves as an augmentative (something that makes the original sound bigger, tougher, gruffer) and may have a facetious or pejorative undertone. English lacks such a form but it might be the difference between just calling someone Bill and adding such emotive descriptives as "big, old, clumsy (good for nothing) Bill.

About six dozen people in today's Poland sign themselves Kameczura.

DOBRUCKI: basic root is dobr- which can mean good, goods, landed holdings. It could have also originated as a toponymic nickname from places such as Dorbruca and Dobrut in Poland and similar localities in neighbouring Urkaine, Belarus, Russia, Czech Republic, etc. There are dozens of Polish surnames incorporating that root including: Dobrzycki, Dobrzyński, Dobrzański, Dobrowski. Dobrecki, Dobras, Dobrzyn, Dobroń, etc. Same in English: Goodman, Goodwin, Goodly, Gooding, Goodson, Goodton, etc.

Yeah, the "scam-fighting"(?!) PO regime was quick to investigate their pension-fund heist in broad daylight, AmberGold and the the Gronkowiec ex-Jewish property heist. PO "honest" to a fault. Hell, they could give the Clintons a run for their money.

But Morawiecki and 500+ do exist. So please explain how it is that the PO screamed and shouted that 500+ would break the budget, while Morawiecki calmly prefdicted it wouldn't cost the taxpayer a brass farthing. He simply put a stop to PO-tolerated VAT theft. Also, as a hard-nosed capitalist, do tell us how for the first time in history there is no budget deficit, but a budget surplus. We're all waiting with bated breath!

News / Nuclear Power in Poland? Yes, please! Absolutely nobody disagrees! [73]

Because one was never launched. PO surely wouldn't want to publicise its sloppy governance and aura of scamsterism, whilst PiS have had their hands full carrying out good changes amid the unending sabotage and obstruction attempts by the hysterical poor losers' contingent.

But how is it that 500+ has not cost the taxpayer a single grosz? Because, as Morawiecki put it, it sufficed to stop the theft of VAT revenues. BTW how do you account for the budget surplus for the first time in history?

News / Nuclear Power in Poland? Yes, please! Absolutely nobody disagrees! [73]


PO couldn't find money for many things since so much of the state tax revenues
somehow "evaporated" and mysteriously turned up in the pockets of scamsters while the PO-era authorities looked the other way. Explain that, won't you?

Such extremist groups as ONR and LGBT pervert parade folks have a right to exist and they do. I may diagree with both of them, but as long as they're legally registered organisations and do not break the law they have a right to stage rallies marches, parades or what have you. The Soros-backed Open Dialogue Founation is another story and is currently being investigated over suspected outside funding by i.a. Russian oligarchs.

The exception that proves the rule. The majority of the protests highlighted by TVN, Polsat and TVP showed a hate-spewing crowd whipped up to a hysterical frenzy when most anything could occur. Heavy (and costly!) police presence and (costly) metal barriers prevented things turning violent, but that's no credit to the Kijowskis, Schetynas and Patrus who were trying to rev things up as much as possible.

Whenever a large crowd gathers, anything can happen. The ONR and All-Poland Youth could have turned up to disrupt the vigil. At the end of hte vigil someone could have urged: "And now let's go and support our protesting brothners and sisters outside the Sejm", and some would have surely followed. Or some freak occurrence, someone throwing a concussion grenade into the crowd and people trampling one another in panic.

One thing is certain: I'm sure glad lower-case is not in charge of Warsaw's public security! "It's just a peaceful vigil or football match or Smolensk observance, no need to lay on extra police" is what he'd probably say.

Major nation holidays and state occasions yes, but not minority-interest side shows. Those who identify with them should pay for the extra security required be it the homo parades or Smolensk memorials.

That's so typical of the PO creeps -- take everything out context and twist everyone's words. Kindly re-read what I wrote about the free cheese. Everything costs. Why penalise the taxpayer for the whims of a tiny minority, be they the pervert paraders, the smolenskists or the "total opposition" rabble-rousers. You march -- you pay!

He had to thoroughly understand what made the enemy tick so he could fight them more effectively first in KOR, later at Wałęsa's side (they made his presidency), subseuqnretly in PiS. Also at present they continue their commitment to the de-communisation which should have been dealt with in 1990-1992 in opposition to Platformers who want in the worst way to preserve the undeserved privileges of PRL hold-overs in the judiciary, PO and elsewhere. Even old Balcerman (that's what he called in foreign-correspondents' circles!) has recently crawled out of the woodwork to apparently hopes to cause more damage to the Polish economy. Has he been a sleeper whom Soros has only just now reactivated? Balcerman, in acse you've forgotten, was the one who sold off and destroyed Poland's industrial assets, caused widespread unemployment and turned the economy over to foreign-interest groups.

One of the all-time hands-on Polish experts on the theory and practice of Marxism was Polish Primate, the saintly Stefan Cardinal Wyszyński. He realised one could not adequately combat one of the 20th century's greatest evils without knowing what makes it tick.

The real situation is that the losers' rant & chant brigade have again made fools of themselves. But that's par for the course, innit? Also raked up a hefty policing bill at the taxpayer's expense. Since inb life there is no free lunch (and the only free cheese is in a mouse-trap!), organisers of demos and marches should foot the bill for the extra policing that necessitets. That would apply to anti-govt protests, pervert parades as well as the miesięcznica and other events that disrupt normal life, reroute buses, require protective barriers, etc.

Funny everybody violates the constitution but only focuses on the violations of others, esp. polticaa adversaries -- typical pot.kettle black! Art. 178 expressly forbids judges joining political parties or engaging in public affairs undermining their independence and impartiality. Rzepliński, Gersdorf and others taking an active part in anti-government rallies is precisely such a violation of Article 178. Judicial indepence requires judges to be non-partisan, not engagé and not to side with any parties to a dispute.

Thousands of people duped and manipulated by sinister outside forces, such as the Soros-bankrolled NGO Open Dialogue Foundation urging the violent overthrow of the government. They are collaborating with Poland's own poor-losers' movement whose motto is: ULICA, ZAGRANICA i TARGOWICA!. Many of the proteters didn't really know what they were demonstrating for or against and just repeated mantra-like slogans such as "wolne sądy". But the High Corut is not very "wolny" if the majority of its judges bear a "Made in PRL" label and swore allegiance only to the Soviet-backed PRL puppet state..

Wherever one looks, signs of the good change abound. The number of companies declared bankrupt in Poland has fallen, according to the National Debt Register.

From July 2016 to the end of June 2017, 563 firms were declared bankrupt.
According to National Debt Register's Adam Łącki, "over the past few years, at least 700 have gone bankrupt every year, sometimes over 800 firms. The current statistics indicate that this year the number of bankruptcies may be lower than 600. This is in large part due to two factors - changes in bankruptcy law and the strong Polish economy." Other positive economic indicators are up: GDP, emplyoment, investments, production, exports and budget surplus. Negative ones such as unemploymernt and inflation are down. And to think that the hysterical "total oppositon" are so blinded by their irrational hatred that they do not even see such obvious achievements.
