History / The Battle of Stalingrad saved Poland [34]

... according to Polish historian, writer and politician, Jan Engelgard.

pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Engelgard

In 1941 the decision was made in the III Reich to completely destroy the Polish nation by means of executions, deportations and forced germanization. According to so-called Generalplan Ost, by the year 1952 in former Poland only 3-4 million ungermanized Poles were supposed to be left alive (all of them peasants); and those of them not willing to be Germanized would be forbidden to marry and denied access to any medical services. This so far is a part of well researched history...

Jan Engelgard claims, mentioning the works of professor Czesław Madajczyk, that it was the German loss in the battle of Stalingrad that made III Reich abandon the GO, and apparently many Poles back then (also anti-communists) understood what happened - that the fate of Poles, as a nation, was in a way decided there by the Volga river. Of course, nobody (or almost nobody) says it aloud today, because that would be stigmatised as "speaking with the voice of Kremlin".

News / Alexander Dugin is coming to Gdańsk! [17]

... or at least he says he's definitely going to come. I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened the 4th page of the latest "Myśl Polska"* (I know, I know... but I can't resist)...



... he's talking about tradition, Christianity, family, holiness etc. He says that continental Europe should be allied to Russia, mentions Polish Sarmatian tradition, his deep sympathy to Poland (even says that he is hypnotised with conservative-romantic aspects of Polish culture) - he's as nice and charming as it gets. Unfortunately, he is not as kind in the interview to the Ukrainians, even calls their country a chimera, accuses them of Polonophobia, and says that they practically don't exist.

In other words he is just being the same Dugin that we all know and love, apart from his newly found love to Poland. :)

One way or another, if there ever is a meeting with him in Gdańsk, I will definitely be attending (and I hope there will be questions from the audience allowed :)). I might even post photos in this thread, so watch this space.

News / Jagiellonian Politics on Steroids [19]

Łukasz Warzecha is skating on thin ice again (skating in duet with the spirit of Roman Dmowski, to use a poetic expression).

In his latest article in "Do Rzeczy"* he gently pierces ever larger holes in the picture of Polish government's pro-Ukrainian policies. In the light of ever tightening Polish-Ukrainian ties, and plans of tightening them even more in the future, Warzecha starts with three questions:

- Does Poland have enough strength to take the burden of civilising Ukrainian corrupt public life?
- Wouldn't Ukraine joining NATO put the greatest strain of Poland?
- Are we able to support in even larger measure the ruined economy of our neighbour?

Not only does he criticise the Jagiellonian dream of Gieroyc but he seems to be even more critical towards the unconditional support for Zelensky's Ukraine. His other main points are that: Russia is far from being defeated, the war can last for a very long time and that closer Polish-Ukrainian ties can end up not in westernizing Ukraine but rather easternising Poland (I should probably use "occidentalising" and "orientalising" but I'm trying to use simpler language for the benefit of johnny_reb ;)).

Anyways, Warzecha is dancing with the spirit of Dmowski who always thought that Polish-Lithuanian union was the biggest mistake in our history, and that Poland should consolidate her gains in the West and stick to the West, instead of losing blood and resources on the eastern steppes. I don't agree with Dmowski, by the way; if history took the turn he would have preferred, Poland wouldn't be Poland today, but some sort of Northern Czechia.

I wonder how long will Warzecha be allowed to wage his little anti-Jagiellonian war. The example of "Myśl Polska" shows that sad gentlemen in black suits might pay him a courteous visit soon. ;)

News / War propaganda - are we really THAT retarded? [12]

Łukasz Warzecha's makes a couple of good points in his article in the recent issue of "Do rzeczy"*. We all know how detached from reality is the Russian propaganda but what about our own - the Ukrainian/Western one. Why don't we demand higher standards of information coming from the war and why do we fall for the same bulls*it over and over again?

1. How many times did we hear that Vladimir Putin is on the brink of death (all the cancers and other deadly diseases)? On Polsat News Victor Suvorov made a prediction that Putin will be dead by Christmas (true, he didn't mention which Christmas - maybe he meant Christmas in 2047?).

2. How many times have Russians practically ran out of ammo (especially rockets - they ran out of them at least 20 times now)?

3. How many times the Russian conscripts rebelled and refused to fight? How many times the distant republics of Russia were on the verge of declaring independence and Russia was practically falling out into pieces?

4. How many times was Russian army totally disorganised and withdrawing in chaos?

5. How about general Ben Hodges' prediction (made in March) that Russians will run out of ammo and soldiers in 10 days?

6. In September "Die Welt" wrote that Russians only have ammo stock until the end of the year.

7. We keep getting information about exorbitant Russian losses but somehow we receive almost no info about Ukrainian losses.

I could go on, but you get Warzecha's point - we hear the same bullsh*t over and over again. When will our societies finally start to demand sensible, reliable information about the war? How come so many people who until February 2022 did the job of journalists have so suddenly transformed into primitive propagandists? Are we really THAT retarded to believe the same lies repeated over and over again?

Let's make a prediction about what will be happening in the front in the coming 3 months according to our media. I'll make an educated guess:

- Russians will be withdrawing chaotically, abandoning weapons to which they don't have any ammo left anyway;
- Vladimir Putin will contract three more cancers and will be dead by Easter;
- Thirty seven (possibly thirty eight) Russia republics will practically rebel and leave Russian Federation.

Any other predicitions of media news in coming months?
