Die Welt estimated 250,000

I see kraut media are more reliable in your books than the Polish police who estimated 45,000 idiots on parade. The hilarious thing is the number of useful idiots who think they are somehow defending democracy which is not threatened if they can spew their hate speech in the streets with total impunity. They are serviing as vebral cannon fodder for the bloated political ambitions of the Schetynas and Petrus. Komorowski's presence clearly illustrated the resentment of those removed from power by the Polish nation.

there had been money

Had there been such a programme, the US would have surely helped bankroll it, but no such plans were even considered.
Poland's assets could have been pooled (KGHM, refineries, shipyards, collieries, Cegielski, FSO, FSC Ursus, etc.) to form a mixed state-private Polish Captial Consortium which could have bought some of the mroe promising adn modernisable plants Balcerowicz was selling off to foreigners. Not all were prime proeprty but some could have been modernised with funds from the Polish Capital Consoritum. Anotherr thing which Balerowicz's sell-off obsession plan did not consider.

Language / Slavic languages words similarities with Polish [238]

Funnier and funnier

On otkrył guby i skazał: "U menia nasmork." That is Russian for he opened his mouth and said: "I've got a cold."

In Polish it sounds like. "He uncovered his yap (gęba) and said: I'm full of snot!"

A Pole tried to translate "All quiet on the western front" (which in Polish is: Na Zachodzie bez zmian) into Czech and said: Na zachode ne noviny" (Which in Czech means: no newspapers in the sh*t-house /to wipe with/).

don't have the means to start big companies.

They might if the post-communist govts, ratehr than sell off Poland's industrial assets for a song, had launcehd a major pro-entrepreneurial campaign to educate Poles in the business arts, send them to training abroad, bring trainers in to train them at home and offered tax breaks and other incentives to help them start up businesses. Instead, Poland has paid foreigners to invest in Poland and that inlcudes the recent Daimler deal.

What supermarkets are

What supermarkets are Polish? Poland must really be a second or thrid-rate country if Poles are unable to patronise their own country's supermarket chains!

Soros, Sachs, Balcerowicz, Michnik, Spinelli and their ilk saw to it over the past 27 years that nothing indigenously Polish should ever emerge,

240,000

That means that 36 million 760 thousand DID NOT make fools of themselves ranting and chanting and waving idiotic placards and pretending that democracy is threatened and Poland's EU memebrship is endnagered. Most of the haspless marchers were useful idiots taken advantage of by shrewd and crafty politicians hoping the chaos will faciltate their return to power.

tradition of the PRL.

There are far more ex-PZPR, SB and TW (PRL-era secret informers) in the ranks of the KODerasts than in PiS. Of the parliamentary parties, the most ex-PZPR and TW types (some 30) are found amognst the PO's MPs. So you can badmouth PiS all you want, but the facts are against the trough-defenders of the postcommunsit round-table clique.

The pro-PO city administrtion has regularly inflated KODéraste demo figures. The police estimate only a fraction of that inflated figure, and they should know. Anyway, a costly clean-up at the taxpayer's expense is now under way and what did all the chanting and ranting achieve? Absolutely nothing: nichts, nic, rien de tout, nada, niczewo, zilch! The "good-change" government marches ahead to create the Poland of the nation's dreams. The "nachapani" skimmed, scammed and stole to their hearts' content for 8 years, now it's time for the "wyjebani" to speak up.

PiS

For the first time ever, Poland's greatest living statesman, Jarosław Kaczyński, will be fielding questions on Facebook at 13.00 on Saturday.
Feel free to submit questions: fb.com/pisorgpl
NOTE: Tag-team members please go to Google Translate to formulate your queries.

Jarosław Kaczyński

"Those who are marching today purportedly in defence of democracy are the same people who wanted to impose on Poland the mass acceptance of migrants," said Jarosław Kaczyński.

He was referring to the IDIOTS ON PARADE who are disrupting normal traffic, inconveniencing citizens unfortunate enough to live along the parade route and costing the taxpayer a pile to cover the cost of policing and clean-up. But above all. contrary to their intentions, they are only proving that democracy is not threatened in Poland, since they are free to hold their noisy, disruptive, rag-tag demos undistrubed. And there is no chance of achieving the real reason motivaitng the KOD leadership -- to re-instal the failed elites to what they regard as their rightul position of power, privilege and influence.

handing them a large amount of cash

Because Poland already lost out on Jaguar, Hyundai, Suzuki and other companies which located elsewhere where they got a better deal. Beggars can't be choosers, but gradually when the Morawiecki Plan develops, the situation should improve. He is the only post-PRL-era economist that has specifically mentioned the creation of indigenous Polish entrepreneruship and brands. All the others ignored those questions entriely.

favourable tax conditions and cash.

Daimler could have located in Hungary, Czechia, Slovakia, Lithuania, Romania or elsehwere. They are all trying to lure Western investors. At least that does produce somr new jobs -- 1,500 in Jawor in Daimler's case.

PiS

PiS has never closed the door to foreign investments. Polish industry can learn a thing or two from high-tech companies like Daimler who plan to build ultra-modern works in Jawor. PiS are more wary of foreign bankers and retail chains, as well they should be. The Satanders, Citibanks, Raffaisens, Tescos, Leroys, Bierdonkas, Carrefours, etc, are channelling huge profits to their HQs abroad. .

So you admit we're dealing with another German bloodsucker wishing to exploit Poland and asking Poland for a helping hand to more easily achieve that. That is what your beloved capitalism is all about.

on the glob

Does being "on the globe" have to mean ruthless, cut-throat capitalism? PiS resepresent a different, more people-friendly version: market economy with a human face. Ask not what will serve only blood-sucker investors but what will serve the Polish nation as a whole. Morawiecki means foreign investments such as the planned Daimler engine works YES, but also efforts to promote Polish enterpreneurship and indigenous brands. The Morawiecki Plan will be a milestone along the road of returning Poland's now neo-colonial economy to the Polish people.

President Andrzej Duda

Poland's best ever head of sttae, President Andrzej Duda, has signed into law a bill providing free medication to the elderly. The ruling pro-Polish Law and Justice camp have thus made good on yet another pledge made to the Polish nation in last year's election campaign. The law, due to go into effect on 1st September, will entitle those 75 and over to free medications, foodstuffs required for health-related nutritional needs and medical devices.

PiS on a mere 28%

A newer poll gave PiS 33%. Next time you report be sure to give s the "mere" % of the PO poor losers' party.

parliamentary opposition is normally allowed to promote their own laws

Nobody is stopping them promoting whatever they want. But no democratic country forces parliament at gunpoint to vote for opposition bills, do they?

PiS

PETRU'S LATEST ATTACK OF FOOT-IN-MOUTH DISEASE:
Romanian-surnamed banker-economist Ryszard Petru added to his litany of gaffes saying: "Our constituion is 225 years old and is in good shape, but PiS want to reform it." When internauts immediately pouned on the idiocy of that statement, Petru started fumbling to re-idit his post. "I know the constitution is from 1971..." he wrote in one of those corrections, getting deeper and deeper into sh*t. Finally his spokeswoman tried to justify her boss's muck-ups by saying: "That only shows how overworked he is."

And such a goof-off wants to become prime minsiter?!

PiS into supporting EU

No need to force PiS, since Kaczyński made it clear that to be in Europe means to be in the EU. It is creeps liek Schetyna spreading black PR. Remember how PO criticsed 500+ for 2nd and further kids because it would break the budget. The in the very next breath those hypocrites proposed 500 to the first-born kids as well. As if that would not affect the budget even more. Hypocrisy through and through!

ONR

Your 35% combined oppositon is incapable of adopting a single law in the Sejm. You could also throw in those who didn't clear 5%: SLD, Razem and KORWIN (actually PSL didn't kae it eitedhr) and maybe you'd get a combined 45%, except that doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Empty figures devoid of political power.

You really are enamoured of fringe groups: transgenderites, ONRites, pervert paraders, footie hooligans... Sorry but they do not represent the Polish nation. Hypocrite Schetyna is threatening to hold a referendnum on support for the EU, when everybody knows it stands around 70%, among the highest in Europe. That does not mean the EU cannot be improved or criticised. More and more countries are defying IV Reich control of the EU and Heil Merkel's refugee muckup and are building anti-migrant barriers along their borders.

PiS on a mere 28%

And what "mere" levels of support did former coalition partners PO and PSL achieve in your poll? To enligthen your KOD-infected cerebellum, here are the main points of a speech delivered today by Poland's most influential politician, JAROSŁAW KACZYŃSKI:

The great work of patriotic circles and president Kaczyński is producing effects. The narration of shame is losing in all generations. Good is again being separated from evil. (...) Over the past 27 years often Poland was ruled by people not guided by the higher good. That is the main reason for the state of our statehood. I say that during these solemn days, because there is a big chance of change and we can manage. (...) Poladn should have a strong army, We will cease being a second-class NATO member

(...) We want to be in the EU, and that is the view of the majority of Poles. Those claiming something different are wreckers and poltical troubelmakers," Kaczyński said, clearly referring to the black PR being spread by Schetyna.

In reference to reforms of prosecution and judicial organs, he said there would be no more informal immunties. "We cannot have law courts bowing to gangsters and scamsters," he stated.

"The justice system will also change to ensure the secuity of economic turnover and ownership. Poland must exit the medium-level development trap. Poland must develop more swiftly than other EU countries. We've got the Morawiecki Plan, the biggest plan of the past 27 years, and the entire government must work to make it succeed.

"Division and balance among branches of authorty are needed, not the domination of one branch over the others. PiS advocate respecting the constitution as a whole, especially the laws regulating it, particulary the law based on article 197 of the constitution. The TK may not ignore it nor place themselves above the constitution. We will never agree to that. The TK president has rejected compromise, so we will go our own way. There is no consent to anarchy in the state, even that beingn promoted by law courts."

"We now have freedom of speech, an uncensored press and the right to set up political parties. Previous governments had a problem with free speech. There is in Poland a whole archipelago of little duchies - in local councils, universities and elsewhere where people are afraid to criticse their leadership. We cannot agree to that. We will not accept any law on hate speech aimed at muzzling freedom of speech."

Food / Is brain-damaging vegan fad growing in Poland? [176]

We eat too much meat

That's true. Japanese kids used to have a smooth almond complexion until McDonald's came along. Now they have acne just like Westerners. The classic Italian peasant diet was lots of veggies, greens and pasta with a little meat or seafood for flavouring. But when the poor Sicilian peasants came to America where food was cheap, they greatly "meatified" their diet with all the adverse consequences of excess. Animal protein in moderation together with a balanced diet and adequate exercise is the best solution except for those who need trendy PC causes to promote.

Clearly you can't be talking about

And clearly you can't be talking about the whining, whinging 10% PO poor losers.
They have skimmed, scammed and stolen their fill, lined their pockets and wormed their ministerial kids into positions of power, but that could not last forever. The PiS government are gradully cleaning up the mess and laying the groundwork for good governance serving the Polish people, not Berlin, Brussels and other foreign-interest groups...

comb-over

One of many hair styles. There is the Elvis look with sideburns, dreadlocks, skinhead look, US airmen's short brush cut and probably a few more. The only one that looks suspicious is someone resembling a skinhead who are known to be prone to violence.

TK

PiS and PSL have both unveiled plans to resolve the TK dispute. I haven't
heard anything from the whingers so far, but knowing them, they will probably dismiss both out of hand. The last thing they want is to resolve the conflict. The KODerasts and their Petru/PO/SB sponsors want to keep stoking the flames to roast their goose over them.

Constitutional Tribunal

I once recall the tagteam all upset that PIS had bused in people for some
a demo. Well now here's your chance to prove you're not all jsut a bunch of loudmouth hypocrites. It's time to protest against the Schetyna-Petru cligue who have texted their elected officials and other activists of the obligation to attend the "spontaneous" 7th May "grass-roots" demo, and offered to pay travel expenses. Frans Timmermasn saw through Gronkeiwicz-Waltz's deceptive invite to attend the Schuman Parade on that day and politely declined, knowing he'd get manoeuvred into another of those clamorous anti-government street cabarets.

Incidentally, one commentator correctly noticed that protests based solely on poltical slogans have never succeeded. In Poland only those against food shortages or meat price rises have ever led to change.

"everything possible"

Everything a decent citizen can do -- spreading the good word, providing moral support to the "good change" government, correcting slanderous KODist propaganda in the neighbourhood, workplace, school, social circles, etc. -- everything within the limits of the law. It's the oppositon side including "close-the-files" Wałęsa who once called for a referendum and if the govt didn't recognise it "the street" would remove them from office. Time and again, the PC's totalitarian legacy rears its ugly head. A TK staff who had a dissenting voice got sidetracked and bypassed for a regular bonus. A Poznań councillor had her mike taken away when she dared criticise PO. Thiose are typical KOD/PC/LGBT tactics which have nothing to do with democracy or free speech. They say: free speech is only for those who promote our KOD/PC/LGBT agenda!

treasonous

The only thing treasonous is the round-table clique or post-communist Poland.
Now threatened is the whole set of interests built up by the nomenclaturists before 1989 which got a tremednous boost from the post-1989 psot-communist governments. That powerful clique of ex-SB/PZPR types and reformed dissidents (Michnik & Co.) were an invincible opponent able to rule unchecked for 25 years. Now in the oppositon, they still enjoy Berlin and Brussels backing whcih is nto srtange consdiering that they servie those two politico-economic structures. If like Viktor Orban PiS do not cave in, the opposition will finally have to think up a positive programme. So far their sole programme is systematic PiS-bashing, said Józef Orzeł of the Klub Ronina.

Naturally the oppositon are promoting quite a different narrative potraying themselves in glowing colours as dedicated and disinterested knigths in shining armour ranting, chanting and panting for freedom and democracy. They conveniently fail to add: freedom and democracy for those who agree with them.

veganism

By eliminating all animal products from the diet vegans increase the risk of certain nutritional deficiencies. Micronutrients of special concern for the vegan include vitamins B-12 and D, calcium, and long-chain n-3 (omega-3) fatty acids. Unless vegans regularly consume foods that are fortified with these nutrients, appropriate supplements should be consumed. In some cases, iron and zinc status of vegans may also be of concern because of the limited bioavailability of these minerals.

Homo sapiens is an omnivore and a diverse, balanced diet is his best choice.
