News / The feud between Telewizja Republika and TV Trwam [19]
TV Republika is the main medium for rabid rightists. It widely exploits rightist "values" like lies, manipulation, slander, libel, fake news, false accusations etc etc. Their hateful message brainwashes imbeciles who tend to believe it is their duty to kill non-rightists.
A few elder men who watched that TV`s programmes have already been arrested for using threats of death against decent people.
Fortunately, more and more companies are declaring the boycotte. Good!!! Enough is enough!!!
In the face of the controversy surrounding the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity , other major brands - Wawel and Oleofarm - are withdrawing their advertisements from TV Republika, joining the ranks of companies such as Lidl, Biedronka and IKEA, which have already made similar decisions.

History / Cursed soldiers controvercy - not all Poles respect them [320]
No, they were imbeciles coz they murdered useful people who fought against Germans which was top Polish priority at the time.
Yes, because they were wise and knew we needed everyone to finish Germans first coz they were the main threat to the existence of the nation. In Warsaw Rising, even communist and leftist underground groups joined the Home Army.
If you didn`t realise it before and are learning from me now, it only proves what pathological nationalist imbecile you are.
Having shed this light on Holy Cross criminal activity, I can only add I will always consider them primitive murderers coz they don`t deserve any better.
Down with cursed soldiers from Holy Cross!!! Let them be cursed for ever!!! Tfu!!!

Ptak, we hope your migrant status in the US is settled and the deportation threat doesn`t apply to you coz we don`t need in Poland another crazy who supports Kremlin-oriented nationalist scum. We are too decent a country for such homo sovieticus pathology.
Marek Wałkuski, a Polish Radio correspondent at the White House , asked about the issue of deporting Polish citizens living abroad . - What is your message to Americans of Polish descent who voted for President Trump but may have neighbors or family members who are here illegally? - the journalist asked
The law applies to everyone . It applies to American citizens and it applies to people who came to this country illegally ," Noem said. She added that those who broke the law in the United States "will be held accountable . "
I wonder if those illegals who might be deported still support Trump.

More about the guy. Apart from hunting down communist rivals in the underground, it seems Holy Cross collaborators also fought against members of non-communist groups. That is why it is fully justifiable to call them repulsive murderers and collaborators.
From August 1944, he was the commander of the NSZ-ZJ Holy Cross Brigade . Under his command, from autumn 1944, this unit remained in constant contact with the head of the Gestapo cell responsible for combating the Polish underground in the Radom district, SS-Hauptsturmführer Paul Fuchs, through the German agent Captain Hubert Jura , codename "Tom", who served as an officer for special tasks in the brigade and even before its establishment had created an intelligence organization named after his pseudonym Tom's organization , cooperating with the Gestapo and the SS in combating the communist underground and political opponents of the Holy Cross Brigade from non-communist resistance organizations (both left-wing, such as PAL and OW PPS - AK , and right-wing, e.g. NOW -AK, NSZ -AK and BCh ) , with the aim of the brigade's political base originating from ONR taking over full power in Poland by means of a coup d'état and introducing a fascist dictatorship there

Life / Funeral Traditions in Poland [68]
Burial sites are paid. If the cemetery is owned by the city, you pay to the proper municipal institution. If owned by a local parish, you pay to the priest who takes care of the area.
Standard period of "leasing" the burial site is 20 years. Then you have to renew the contract and pay again. In big cities it can be 1800 PLN, in the countryside cemeteries 3 times less.
If you don`t pay, the tombstone is dismantled and offered to a new client.
About 10 years ago I took a photo of a certain site in our village cemetery which was "decorated" with a liquidation warning. The gravestone was in a very bad shape and it seems nobody paid coz the site was levelled and left unoccupied till today.

New info on their collaboration with Nazi Germans when the Holy Cross Brigade was commanded by Antoni Szacki:
The open cooperation of the commanders of the Holy Cross Brigade, including Szacki, with the Germans was reported in reports from the Home Army to the Polish Government in Exile in London. Right after the end of World War II , the head of the intelligence department of the Kielce Inspectorate of the Home Army , Captain Leon Torliński , pseudonym "Kret/Mole" , who came to England wrote in his report:
"Collaboration with the Gestapo was basically open and individual commanders did not hide the fact that they were receiving weapons and ammunition to fight communism from the occupation authorities. There is a known case (January or February 1944) when NSZ officers with weapons came to the Gestapo in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski , there they discussed the matters of the raid on the communist party and passed on to the Gestapo material concerning PPR cells - receiving in return a bag of ammunition (...). Randomly arrested NSZ officers and soldiers, after explanations to Germans, were released with weapons. The Germans already considered NSZ to be Polish " national socialism ", waging open warfare against Russia, sabotaging political groups of the Polish underground and breaking up the cohesion of the Home Army through propaganda in the ranks of former soldiers of NOW (National Military Units), integrated within the AK. While still in the forest, I received reports from individual AK outposts from the Jędrzejów and Włoszczowa counties that "Bohun" was consulting with the German command on the deployment of his unit. After the demobilization of the 2nd Infantry Division in October [...] I received dozens of reports from various outposts about "Bohun's" open collaboration with the German army. For example, people from the AK, who knew "Bohun" well, personally met him driving a German military car in uniform and with a weapon, [it was also known] that the German authorities counted cattle and grain requisitioned by "Bohun" from peasants from the Jędrzejów and Włoszczowa counties as a contingent and the peasants received bonuses for them as for a contingent ".

On Tuesday, in many Biedronka chain stores, you could buy a bottle of original whiskey for less than two PLN. Due to an error at self-service checkouts, customers bought alcohol cheap as dirt. According to media reports, some customers bought several or even a dozen bottles at once. Some also took advantage of the opportunity to buy online, because there was also an incorrect price there.

Crow doesn`t have time for us due to events at home:
Protests in Serbia continue unabated, and the resignation of Prime Minister Miloš Vučević , which was supposed to ease social tensions, has not satisfied demonstrators. The demonstrations that have been sweeping across the country - which began last November, just after the construction disaster at the Novi Sad train station , in which 15 people died - only seem to be gaining momentum.
Young people have four basic demands : an honest explanation of the circumstances of the tragedy, publication of all documentation related to it and punishment of those responsible; release of demonstrators detained during the protests; catching and trying those responsible for numerous attacks on students carried out during the protests and increasing subsidies for education.

They say that this is a common history, no matter which way the wind blows,
But I will not stain my honour with Moscovite scumbags.

Their successors of all kinds must be pushed into the abyss.

Two years ago I mentioned a traditional Polonaise dance performed by students and teachers at the beginning of 100 days ball in high schools all over Poland.
https://polishforums.com/study/poland-various-education-school-issues-84668/24/#msg1903051
There are other popular dances which students do at the ball. One of them is a so called Belgian Dance: music and lyrics adopted from a Belgian folk band Lais and choreography from an old French dance. The rumour is that it came to Poland from Sweden.
Students like it cos it promotes integration at the party allowing the shy ones to take active part in the fun.
It is interesting to know it took off aka became a new lay tradition in Poland about 15 years ago. That is why it is highly advisable to watch old videos coz selected students who performed it then where the ones who had done a lot of practice before. Today`s dances don`t look so professional. :):):)
