History / 'Defamation': The Anti-Semism Industry & Poland [188]

Why does USA send so much money to Israel yearly? Billions of dollars for "defense" in other words butchering palestinians and carpet bombing people. One reason is because the powerful pro-zionists are finiancing them. Can you imagine how different America would be without rich Jews?

US politicians are afraid of the Jews for reasons I can't fathom, but much has to do with money, blackmail and not wanting to be labeled 'Hitlers'.

For Christian Americans, this lie is pushed down their throats: Jews are God's 'chosen' and we must love them...Complete lie, as this is stated nowhere in Bible, although Jew rabbis perpetuate this to the clueless...Jews are the enemies of Christ, as they hate and mock Him...Yet, this is preached from pulpits, including Roman Catholic church.

But, this will be ending in the future, and it will be messy, and we will hear Jewish cries of 'Pogroms, blah, blah'...A shame for the majority of reasonable Jewish people...When Jews have power, the result is always chaos because they are never satisfied.

Khazar was empire if the empire means big, powerful state

Today's Jewish wet dream is Eretz Yisrael from Nile to Euphrates, plus regeneration of Khazar Empire in Southern Russia...Neither will come to be.

History / 'Defamation': The Anti-Semism Industry & Poland [188]

Sure, and the 'officials' have the biggest megaphone, which is the controlled media...But probably the best thing about the Internet is that it has given a voice to those of us who are 'un-official' and seek a more truthful and better world.

Nothing happens overnight, it takes time to develop and emerge.

History / 'Defamation': The Anti-Semism Industry & Poland [188]

A thought-provoking film. I am sad to say, that any hope of a reconciliation between Jews and Gentiles will not happen in my lifetime. Also, it was like a cold slap in the face to see how certain groups are "milking" the tragedy of WW2 for all it's worth :( very sad

I think there is hope, because the 'average' Israeli or American or Pole, whatever, just want to live their lives, and not have the fear mongers or profiteers keep dredging up events from the past.

Why I say this?

I saw an excellent video from some independent web service done in Israel while the Egyptian unrest was going on...It was about 20 minutes in length, and they interviewed various Israelis: office workers, students, shop keepers about their feelings about what was happening in Egypt...About 85% of the Israelis in the video expressed admiration for the Egyptian people and expressed the opinion that a 'revolution' or demonstrations of this type were needed in Israel, because their government was so corrupt; run by a handful of control freaks who thrived on causing conflict.

I also liked the comments in the film by the Brooklyn rabbi who, in reference to Foxman & the ADL, said he didn't trust anyone who made their living by looking under every rug for 'hate'...He then commented that he was certain he would be placed on an ADL 'blacklist' for expressing these views...He was joking, but he was serious, too.

If a non-Jew made this film, he would automatically be labeled a 'Jew hater', when, in fact all the film tried to do was be reasonable about the matter, and show the irony involved.

History / 'Defamation': The Anti-Semism Industry & Poland [188]

Who do you refer to here?...Foxman?

Are you saying the Poles who protected him took his families money?

This, I don't know about...From different little 'bios' I have read about him, it is said that a Polish family protected him...What their motivation was, I cannot speculate on, because I don't know...Is there a possibility they did it because they were good people?

Now, Foxman, who is a very rich man, goes into a tirade in the film where he says that the purpose of the Nazis and their 'collaborators' (Poles?) was to 'steal Jews money'...And right before this, Foxman says how everyone thinks the Jews are 'money masters'.

You would have to speak with Foxman to clarify the issue...But, it comes to mind that in the economic chaos and poverty of WWII, money would still be needed for survival, perhaps more than ever...Perhaps Foxman thinks that Jews should have been 'protected' without any monetary cost to them...Morally, he might be right, but in the midst of war, survival costs money.

So why do you try so hard to prove those leaders right?

Harry, you are a constant in a world of change...Thanks for sending me the love...BTW, how you like the film?...I like the part at end where the film maker says 'Maybe it's time to look to the future'.

Any good music in Warsaw these days?

Great film by Israeli film maker Yoav Shamir illustrating how Jews are exploited & brainwashed by their own leaders into thinking 'the world hates Jews'...Very revealing scenes featuring Israeli teenagers on tourist trips to Auschwitz and how they are lied to and denied contact with Polish people for the purpose of perpetuating hatred...Big cheese ADL Abe Foxman (whose life, along with his mother & father) was saved by Poles, and now runs a $75 million a year racket, is also featured.

Life / Polish folk-themed pop music? [30]

:-)

Thanks for the Slavic music...
Brathanki are quite good, and maintain the Slavic flavor even with a pop gloss...Very good interplay with guitar, flute & violins, and their vocalists are good singers and cute...

Ciechowski is also quite talented...I will have to check out his material, as he seems to have had quite a prolific career.

It was a treat to hear some modernized Slavic music that leans to pop, yet maintains Slavonic roots and musical signature...The Irish have been quite good at recycling traditional forms into a a more modern hybrid.

Polonius 3 made a good point about the current 'Afican-American' music infecting a wide swath of pop...Unfortunately, African-American music used to be the cream of the crop, what with jazz greats like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Monk and numerous others, and the pop music, from Motown to Stax (Memphis) was also tops...Unfortunately, 'rap' which is basically a big mouthed egotist spouting a stream of illiterate junk over computer samples, has replaced a once great musical sub-culture.

Love / Is rape so common in Poland? [95]

Is rape so common in Poland?

As a Polish-American, or 'plastic pole' I cannot speak with authority on this issue, but from what I hear in the USA, there is an absolute epidemic of rape in Poland...It is so bad that a decent Polish woman cannot go outside!...Polish men have been caught raping dogs, other domestic animals, even humping trash cans and fireplugs because of their insatiable sexual drive.

Food / Eat goulash from a cat and a steak from a dog in Poland! [114]

They should nuke China for that.

It's unbelievable, but true...This is the country that holds about a trillion in US debt (treasury bonds)...Africa, in particular the Congo, where a brutal war has been going on for a decade, is also experiencing a revival of cannibalism...This has been reported on by the UN.

It's a hoax.

No hoax...It has been reported on many, many web sites from Burma, Vietnam and other places in Asia...The 'Urban Legends' site would also consider alternative views about what really happened on 9-11 'urban legends'...The cannibalism is a very unpleasant topic, as is the subject widespread sex-slavery, paedophile rings worldwide.

As far as eating dogs and monkeys, well, not to my taste, and not something Europeans crave.

Travel / Visiting Poland - A bit worried about social attitudes and racist inclinations.. [80]

What I meant is geographical and cultural ignorance... It is the same as someone referring to a Polish person as a Russian, Slovakian or a Ukranian, just because they are from the same region and look similar. I am educated enough to identify and respect the differences and similarities between these countries, but the above post proves that some people still divide the world by skin pigmentation or lack of it..

I am amazed that some people let fear dictate...I am Polish-American: If I went to Sri Lanka, wouldn't I stand out?...Don't be a scaredy cat...If you are educated and 'civilized', you have no problem...BTW, how are the Tamil Tigers doing?

News / A devestating verdict on the Polish church [279]

I am always amused when Poles on the Forum attack the Church, which historically was the primary force in Polish society that stood in opposition to communism...Of course, many of these same Poles are subject to a virus that Cardinal Wojtyła talked about, the virus of consumerism...Pope John Paul II said that in the future the biggest enemy of the Church would not be communism, but consumerism/materialism that would overwhelm Western society.

This also means 'globalism' which in it's theoretical 'utopian' form means the elimination of nationalism, Christianity and the 'leveling' of society into an undifferentiated mass governed only by the rule of money and undifferentiated materialistic culture...This is basically what the EU is set up for...Some may call it communism under a different name or encased in a 'velvet glove'.

In the globalist world, the only form of nationalism permitted is Zionism...Any other nationalism is 'fascism'...This is evident in the revulsion of peoples in Europe to the actions of the Israeli state, and also in the refusal of EU governments to take any concrete steps to oppose this form of nationalism...It was all hatched in Europe.

The word 'fascism' is a favorite of these Zionists and their minions, but, specifically in reference to the Church in Poland, or Radio Maryja is any kind of 'fascism' or dictatorship advocated?...The answer is 'no'...But certain so-called 'liberal' elements regard any championing of traditional values. or of the historic importance of the Church itself, as 'fascism'.

The Roman Catholic Church has made mistakes; this cannot be denied...However, the greatest error of the Church in the present, IMHO, is the championing of a false liberalism or political correctness...The PC types can be found all over this Forum also...But anyone with a sense of history should understand that this type of 'liberalism' is a dead end...European civilization is built on a Christian foundation, and a Catholic foundation...The problem in the Church is not a 'fascistic' attitude on the part of certain priests, but a wishy washy weakness of faith and willingness to surrender to political correctness on the part of the Church's 'liberal' faction.

However, it does no good for the Church to air it's dirty laundry in public, and I would chastise both the liberal and conservative elements for not being able to work out their problems without public outcry...Discretion is the better part of valor...The Church has numerous enemies without subjecting itself to civil warfare.

The goal of the EU and it's associated bureaucratic satraps is the neutering of the Church...The goal of the Zionists is replacing Christianity with 'Holocaustianity'...They work hand in hand...Gazeta Wyborcza, also.

News / "To understand Poland you must understand Frederic Chopin" (Stratfor Friedman) [74]

Music is not detached as you said. It is a part of who wrote it as well as one who listens to it.

No, I don't think music is detached...That Stravinsky...I had a music teacher in high school who discussed the whole issue with us, and it come to mine when I read that critic of Chopin.

News / "To understand Poland you must understand Frederic Chopin" (Stratfor Friedman) [74]

National anthems stir emotions, for example.

Stravinsky would say a national anthem stirs the emotion because of the 'context': people associate it with feelings of dedication to country, patriotism, and the like....He would say THE MUSIC ITSELF has no such emotional content.

But, thing is, music cannot be seperated from certain reference points, including composer's spirit, what the particular music was supposed to symbolize, and the listener's reaction...

Stravinsky's mindset was a typical of a certain aloof 'cosmopolitanism' prevalent in cultural circles/critiques during the past 120 years or so...He may have just been running his mouth.

News / "To understand Poland you must understand Frederic Chopin" (Stratfor Friedman) [74]

The Chopin music I have heard is very ornate and flowery, with a lot of chromaticism. This can make the music sound overly busy.

Stravinsky said that music, of itself, does not imply any specific emotion. It is an abstract.

Therefore, it could be stretch to attribute to music a description of a particular historical period,
or rage, or despair.

I don't completely agree with Stravinsky, as certain musical devices can evoke emotions, feelings...I know this as a player and a composer.

These pieces of Chopin's have very specific titles referring to certain historical events...I would have to listen to them closely.

Sometimes critics can get carried away with their own imaginations.

Interesting topic however...I think that certain sounds, rhythm and inflection can paint a you a mental picture of certain times and places, but you need some kind of reference point...The feeling conveyed is the important thing.

History / Ghetto Uprising better known than Warsaw Uprising? [111]

The ghetto rising is mroe widely publicised in schoolbooks in the West. Why is it that a rising which covered only a fraction of the city's area, was much shorter and claimed far fewer lives is better known than the 1944 upheaval?

Why you think?...Jews were involved in the one...Jews run the media, and are powerful in controlling educational materials.

History / POLES NOT KEEN ON REPRODUCING? WHY ARE THERE SO MANY GERMANS AND RUSSIANS? [67]

I explain etymology: It was coined by the comic artist R.Crumb and I find it to be a good alternative to some other terms that are generally considered degrading or taboo...BTW, White Europeans or Americans can also qualify as 'shvoogies'...A certain 'uncivil/anti-social' attitude would also be included in the definition.

I like to take some poetic liberties with words...One I have coined that relates to 'shvoogie' is 'shegabo or shegaboo'.

History / Are Poles happy with the current Polish borders? [134]

Any involuntary border changes in modern Europe would be seed for conflict, as illustrated by a glance at past European history...There is an overlap of nationalities in all countries of Europe, but this should not be considered as a problem...One good thing about the EU is that it has encouraged a more open attitude on issues related to this...But when it makes a mistake, such as in the case of Serbia, the results are negative.

The only border changes that will work would involve the agreement of all parties involved, in a peaceful manner, such as the split between the Czechs and Slovaks.

History / Poland is great Mother of all Slavs from Baltic to Balkan [177]

Poland is much more the cradle of pan-Slavism than Russia. Russians are hybrid with much Mongol blood mixed in there. They are not as pure as Poles.

This is a fascinating point...I had a neighbor, a couple of years ago, he was a new Polish immigrant to US, he and his wife...He was a doctor and he got a grant to do cancer research at University of Pennsylvania...Now, we would have conversations about world & Slavic politics...His father was a business man, and occasionally traveled to Russia...Hid dad said that he often felt uncomfortable in Russia because of the 'pervasive Asiatic influence'...He felt it made business deals a bit tricky.
