Life / A warning to Poland: Germany's catastrophic immigration policy: 80-90% criminal manhunts are ARABS / foreigner [83]


German and of course influenced by a Dane and in the end sort of goes back as a methodology to an Italian nobleman in Paris who hit his head on a branch. And he was of course an Aristotelian.

Achrichten is still a barm pot though.

I doubt that the people who died in the Holocaust were any more 'misfits' than the general population as a whole and in fact probably far less so given that they weren't the ones setting up einsatzgruppen, death camps and doing silly salutes and even sillier goose stepping and flaming torch rallies. Nevertheless, there doesn't seem to be much arse kissing either, given that the guy is posting actual wanted posters from presumably police portals.

It's hard to know what to to for the best. Merkel dropped a bollock with the 'Open Door' thing, however the blame is on her and her CDU, not the people who came. If you leave the door of your house open with a sign in multiple languages saying "please come in", people will come in. It is hard to blame someone for taking something that is being offered to them.

Most of them will be nice, decent, normal people (as most of your and our migrants certainly are) however there will also be bad 'uns among them, mostly younger men of the risk-taking age and used to a supportive (and self-regulating) tribal and extended family structure who can do and in the absence of stern cousins and aunties will do things they couldn't get away with at home where everyone in t( town and village knows them and may well be a relative. Small town/village people like me would understand it maybe more than someone from a capital city.

We've started deporting criminals now (regardless of ethnicity, loads sent back to Poland and Slovakia as well as places far away. Expensive and a hassle, however it needs doing since the level of migration to Europe will only increase and of course we only want law-abiding people without bigoted views.

'Achrichten' is a nutter though, and it's quite frankly a boring subject that is mentioned far too much here and of course posting in a forum about Poland will have fück all effect on internal policies within Germany.

According to the Poliish national mythos.

The reality is that there was no coherent Poland then or any other nation state.

Obsessed or what?

Given that the nation of Germany collectively committed the worst crime in the history of humanity, and that just about within living memory, you have no room to talk.

Perhaps it's time to revive the zones of occupation there, the r*SSian zone, the British zone, the French zone and the American zone. And a larger Polish zone this time, maybe instead of the t*SSian zone.

What nonsense.

These were not Slavs or even their ancestors.

The Burgundians are the oldest known inhabitants of Mazowsze.


1000 years ago, there was no we, and despite the minor tribal chief Mieszko in the North, my ancestor, St Stephen of Hungary, had the title Overlord of Poland, not that there was any coherent Poland then.

Somehow, I doubt that...

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [392]


That's a fair point of view, however the ancient Burgundians who were the earliest known inhabitants of what is now Poland would have had a hard time imagining Slavs and Mieszko himself would probably be appalled by what he saw if he came back today.


That means nothing. Skin colour is zero.


St John Paul the Great gave a discreet. Interview to an obscure German religious magazine shortly after becoming Pope. Later on Cardinal Ratzinger denied that the interview had ever happened and although it was a low circulation magazine, it's possible that the church may have tried to destroy copies of it later on. Nevertheless, a handful of copies exist.

In the interview, he talked about the third secret of Fatima. It''s notable that what he said didn't gel with the secret (or partial secret) that the church revealed later.

It's odd that he said so much, and what he said really was very different to the revealed secret that was published decades later. He also said that there was little point revealing a prophecy that was terrible and in its nature inevitable.

He seemed to imply that there were several parts to the prophecy and all he really let on were crumbs that could be interpreted in several ways. Little to do with internal church affairs as some have suggested.

The crumbs he dropped (and he was a very honest person) could be interpreted as irreversible global warming that will kill most of us. That or a meteorite.
Life is short, precious and fragile. Nothing lasts for ever. Dinosaurs became birds and our world today has continents where they weren't before and won't be in the future.

We still don't know what UFOs are. Aliens? Us from the future? Things from other dimensions? Very good AI sent by someone? Something under the sea (where UFOs are mostly seen)? Someone/something that has been here all along? There's no reason for UFOs to contain meat; we already have AI powered drones.

The future will be stranger than we can imagine.

Just as God created Freemasonry. In the medieval era it was quite religious, cathedral builders and all.


Yes. Two, and both of them faulty.

As far as 'grave sin' is concerned, "shaking hands with the unemployed" is supposed to be a grave sin though nobody mentally healthy and/or over about 21 would bother to confess it nowadays.

In a shop by the Vatican, I once saw one of those lists of sins that are meant to edify/terrify the faithful. One of the things on the list said "I have cast my eyes upon the hindquarters of a dog".

The only real sins are things that make you less whole, generally going against the precepts enjoined in the Sermon on the Mount.


Not quite that easy and even you, who write it well and precisely, avoid quite a lot of structures, even common ones, in writing.

Yet Masons, including priests and bishops happily celebrate mass.

The RCC also 'bans' contraception yet most Catholics use it.


It does not promote anything.


Neither the very simple ceremonies nor the very simple oaths (not btw the bloodcurdling ones that antimasons pretend) are secret. You can literally by the ritual books in bookshops.


Emphasises.

It takes no position on either. ChatGPT (not as far as I know a Mason in good standing like Adam Mickiewicz was) has misinformed you.


Only a minority of lodges in France which stand outside mainstream Freemasonry take any sort of position on any religion and none oppose any religion.


Since it is neither a belief system nor a political current, it is not incompatible with anything.

You didn't answer the question, were Adam Mickiewicz, Janusz Korczak and Cardinal Potocki 'Satanic'?

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [392]


It's a grey area. The Vatican has an official chaplain to Freemasons in Italy (a bishop) and many of the brothers and sisters in Poland are of course RC and observant.

It's possible that JPII was briefly a member in the early 60s; several of his closest friends certainly were however the only known lodge in Poland at the time did not keep written records due to PRL persecution and there are no members alive now from that time to confirm or deny (not that they would discuss it).


What reason is that, according to you?

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [392]


This is puzzling since they aren't a political organisation and in fact discussion of religion and politics is banned. BTW, there are far more lodges in Poland than r*SSia and have been for centuries.


That just sounds like ravings. Was Adam Mickiewicz 'Satanic'?

Ask the tribunals and courts whose job it is to apply the law.


Often by force. I refer you to the earlier post which quotes the exact number removed since the election and how that number is increasing.

More will be removed, however so many came and the fůcking Tories hate spending on the public sector that the number of border force staff is too small (they're recruiting now if you fancy the job). It's the same with the wait for the courts and tribunals; the Tories didn't want to spend money on it, and in any case, their rightwing voters generally need something to moan constantly about.

However things are beginning to move faster now the adults are back in the room.

That Daily Heil headline is misleading, as usual. The £40m figure is campaigners' estimate, not an official NHS budget line, and it assumes every single equality or HR-related role is a 'diversity officer', which simply isn't true. Many of these roles are legally required Under English law and have been for decades.

The '1,200 nurses' comparison is nonsense economics; you can't just reassign money from admin and HR budgets directly to clinical posts. The NHS budget has ring-fenced streams, and recruitment isn't limited only by cash; it's limited by training capacity and available qualified staff. Even if you scrapped every DEI role tomorrow, you wouldn't suddenly conjure up 1,200 fully trained nurses overnight.

All you managed to find online is just tabloid spin designed to rile people up

News / European News and Poland Thread - part 4 [934]


I'm not, since my stats are accurate and up to date whereas yours are tripe from a far-right tabloid.

As you were told, 279 (Tory appointed) managers are on the salary you claimed, and none of them are "diversity officers«. Those people are usually on Bands 4/5 earning between £25,000 and £28,400 per year, before tax. Though yes, they should earn more.

And it's worth mentioning that the £40 million that the Daily Heil claim is actually less than its tax exile owner dodges in tax every year.

Don't like the facts, do you...

I think you mean "we" and they were doing this at the behest of the U.K. Incidentally, the reason so many boats started coming during the years of rightwing governmants and why this continued is twofold. Partly Micron's revenge for brexshìt and partly because Rishi wouldn't and Sir Keir won't bail him out over the Hinckley B scandal. It's costing France billions.


It really does, and you've swallowed Farage's lies.

Although the NHS has 279 managers (thanks to Thatcher)on over £200,000. None, not one at all, are 'DEI Officers". Those folk earn around £25,000, a wage I wouldn't get out of bed for. There are however around 12 managers in the whole country whose jobs relate to inclusion who earn around £50 to £70 k which I wouldn't get out of bed for either. Incidentally, they were all appointed under right wing governments.


NI is too low, and as for people "losing their jobs every week", unemployment has risen (this started before the NI changes) by 0.2%. So hardly "lots" and that rate is easing off.


This is fact not propaganda. The figures do not relate to 'appointments', (since that would still be waiting lists); they relate to actual medical procedures.


Why?


You're probably the only person who has ever described the Daily Telegraph and The Times as either 'left' or 'online news rags'.

That's sort of the opposite. Even during the Corbyn fiasco, plenty stayed.


That's what they're doing. And in a fairly clever way.


If you look at his demographics, many of his voters will be pushing up daisies by the next election, and there are a couple of very interesting scandals in the pipeline.

One very weird and intriguing thing last week (not necessarily a Farage or a Labour thing). There were reports, quite long ones, in each of the quality newspapers about a magistrate's court committal hearing in a sexual assault (not rape) case. Committal hearings are in the very lowest of the courts and are just when an accused person confirms their name and the magistrate refers the case to the Crown Court.

Normally something like that wouldn't even appear in a local newspaper. Even a Crown Court conviction for sexual assault would only make a few lines in a local newspaper, A Committal hearing normally wouldn't be mentioned since there's very little to say about them. Yet this one made a few hundred words in three national newspapers. All of them said that the alleged victim couldn't be named. This is so normal that it wouldn't usually be mentioned since everyone knows this already.

So why did they mention that and why did these stories appear?

And most interestingly of all, the story also appeared on the r*SSia Today website.

Fortunately, our electoral system means they can't win,, a load of the small number of 'reform' councillors elected (646 out of 19,200) have resigned or been suspended and some are facing criminal trial, one council 'leader' is just turned 18 and two of their 6 MPs are suspended, one facing criminal charges for fraud and corruption.
