News / Poland's PiS party members and crime [346]


Did Pilecki's execution/murder have anything to do with either the Military Prosecutor Wilhelm Świątkowski or the Minister of Justice in the Bierut regime, Henryk ŚwiątkowskI?

And did ŚwiątkowskI have any famous relatives, one alive today...

Work / Planning to move to Poland - Need Idea about expenses/salary [19]

I think it's worth doing, an dthe package sounds ok for Poland. You should be well aware (check the search function if you have any doubts) that DominicB only really comes here to try and put people off coming to Poland - long cut and paste posts saying much the same thing.

5000zl will certainly cover your expenses (I guess we spend about that here in Warsaw) and the salary is good - you will be able to save money with that and it's worth mentioning that it's more than three times the average for Kraków.

Homophobia Po, homophobia. As well as other sheer nastiness toward those other ordinary decent people who have a family that they struggled medically to get. How many grandchildren do you have, by the way? I bet their little faces light up with joy when you express such opinions to them.

No such thing, Po.

Real doctors, decent people.

You do realise that this reflects the number of reports? Not incidents.

A very different thing.

Been to one, have you? No. No you haven't.

And yes, PIS have been totally wrongfooted and outsmarted (not hard) over their attack on women.

Great that the protests are continuing.

The Poles' polls currently show otherwise.


Not exactly unexpectedly.

News / British conspiracy theorist is found dead in Poland [14]

Here's the latest instalment:

"His mum - who has maintained she is a "sane, normal person" - is also convinced that his body was tampered with while Polish authorities left him unattended overnight.

Vanessa said: "The police and the doctor all went off and left my son dead lying there with these people.

"I was on the phone to one of them and I could hear in the background there were strange suggestions of things that should be done.

"Things like 'put milk by his side' and 'get garlic and put flowers and put vinegar' and very weird goings on."

Interesting, Wulky, but essentially conspiracy nonsense, unfortunately involving Poland.

Now some of the media are reporting claims from his family that he was 'sacrificed by Satanists'!

News / British conspiracy theorist is found dead in Poland [14]

It's relevant because some of his crazy supporters are alleging that his death had been certified by a doctor in Poland without a medical examination.

Why indeed? Nobody forces you to read something or comment on it so crabbily.

The media this morning are certainly printing plenty about this loon.

Here's a quote from him:
"Max states that "I was involved in project mannequin in the UK which is an extension of the NAZI uberman (superman) projects to create a warrior and a breeder. I have connections to Montauk and time manipulation projects. I have studied "magik" and esoteric thought for 15 years and became conscious of my awareness in these projects just after I turned 30 in 2008"

The story's been picked up by The Times now.

Worth reading about that guy - he was a serious whacko.

Indeed, kitten. Basically an unscientific view of abortion.

News / As a Time Capsule From The Holocaust Was Found In Zlocieniec, Poland [34]

Quite. Seriously, those are smaller towns which suffered badly in the war. There are no 'time capsules' (people were dragged from their homes with no time to pack a toothbrush, never mind make a time capsule) and there are sadly few traces of the region's Jewish past.

Kittenkotku, that's pure poetry.

Indeed. Przemysl is a long way from Gdansk. Re. Nicki's comments, it's a pretty massive difference between a sparsely populated corner of north east Europe and a big industrial region.

News / As a Time Capsule From The Holocaust Was Found In Zlocieniec, Poland [34]

Your point, Nicki, isn't being missed. What you yourself have missed is that there's a certain difference between Warsaw, Łódż, Krakow on the one hand and Krasnopol, Lipsk, Boćki on the other. Think of the difference between Jersey City and a field in north west Idaho.

Don't be silly.


That's actually bordering on the insane.

News / As a Time Capsule From The Holocaust Was Found In Zlocieniec, Poland [34]

Seriously Nicki, during WW2, Poles, especially those of the Jewish faith had many other things to think about than making time capsules.

If however you are interested in this, read about the Warsaw Ghetto archives. Just before the liquidation of the ghetto, the great Polish historian, Emmanuel Ringblum, sealed some of their records, archives, wills, photos, people's diaries etc in twelve metal containers, some of them milk canisters. They buried these in three deep holes, anticipating the destruction of that part of town. Nobody who knew the precise locations survived, however one of the sites was found fairly quickly afterwards, one a little while after that and the third remains to find. It is probably buried under the grounds of the Chinese Embassy on ul. Miodowa however the Chinese have not permitted further excavations.

The part of the archive that was found, called the Oneg Shabbat archive is fascinating and gives a valuable picture of pre-war Warsaw life.

That government is not the declining PIS regime, Po. One more scandal and they will start to fall. Should Jaro appoint himself premier, history will repeat itself and they will collapse.

You'd also need a spade to dig with, permission from tens of thousands of landowners and a hell of a lot of time to dig up an entire section of the country.

Yes, definitely Poles, as were those on the Czarny Protest and the Polish pro-democracy rallies.

Quite a demonstration today outside Jaro's house. It looks like Poles aren't going to lie down and put up,with PIS.
