History / Piłsudski, like Hitler and Stalin (according to some Lithuanians) [144]

Dear Dolno, there is a lot of info about it scattered all over the net, I also know it from books and papers.

Read the paragraph which begins with these words and the next one:
Według [historyka i posła na sejm z ramienia Prawa i Sprawiedliwości - przyp. red.] Ryszarda Terleckiego w 1945 roku 95 procent funkcjonariuszy było narodowości polskiej,

According to a PiS historian, 95% of UB members in 1945 were ethnic Poles. In 1953, it was close to 100%.

wielkahistoria.pl/zydowscy-funkcjonariusze-w-ub-czy-to-oni-odpowiadali-za-zbrodnie-stalinizmu/

If we assume that some functionaries feared revealing their true background, it gives us a rough number of 20% who weren`t true ethnic Poles.

Sorry, the Jewish UB myth was inspired by patriotic Poles who wanted to avoid tarnishing the nation with such atrocities which UB commited on Poles,. No, it was mostly Poles against Poles. Sad but true.

That is why you should understand why I am against rightards who are ruling now : they also divide and conquer the nation like those communists in the past. They put Poles against each other and relish the fruit of the confrontation.

News / The Political Circus of Poland [309]

Are we going to see a rise of new political circus in Poland?

Duda`s wife refused to back up her husband (rumours suggest she is going to divorce him after elections coz she`s had enough of politics ),

Guys, do you remember that quote from Presidential elections thread? You were sceptical about it, rejected it as rumours shrumours. Yes ,you were right coz the situation has changed in the Dudas marriage. I have just received amazing info but it is strictly confidential so I can`t tell you where I got it from.

The couple had a serious talk about their future. Earlier, Agata had threatened to file for divorce coz as I said, she was fed up with her role of the Silent First Lady. However, Andrzej begged her to stay with him so that his reputation of a family man wouldn`t be tarnished by divorce. Agata agreed on one crucial condition: he must stop being Kaczyński`s sock puppet at last, he has to become an honest politician, give up his low lies and try to unite the divided nation. Also, she expects him to block controvercial laws passed by PiS parliament. One of them is the repolonisation of the media with foreign capital which is intended by PiS to curb free speech in Poland, especially that critical of rightwing rulers. .

Wow, if Duda really becomes independent, that will be certainly a new circus event in Poland. After all, he risks nothing. He can`t run for President any more so now Kaczyński can kiss his ass. Before, Duda was an obedient puppet coz he feared PiS wouldn`t choose him as their candidate. Now, it doesn`t matter to him so he might try to change his image of Ballpen and go down in history as a decent President.

Stay with us to keep track of the developments/

History / Piłsudski, like Hitler and Stalin (according to some Lithuanians) [144]

Jews represented the majority of secret commie police in Poland

No, it`s a myth: Jews were majority in top management. Middle and lower ranks were 80% ethnic Poles. Sad but true. It was mostly a Polish peasant simpleton from the countryside who tortured his Polish compatriots during cruel investigations. .

Food / Alcohol Delivery app in Poland [14]

Buy and collect stamps rather than beer

I heard two things:
- food stamps cannot be used to buy alcohol
- people bypass that regulation somehow but I don`t know exactly how.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

I would have never thought the Americans could send such a cute lady as their ambassador to Poland.

I read an article about her. She has always been an independent, hard-working, active person.

oh yeah, you will be sent to a new Bereza Kartuska for a life sentence - get a life man

Who says about life sentence? A week is enough. And PiS is able to and would like to introduce harsh measures. Fortunately, the resistance is still too strong for them .

Fortunately EU membership (and the council of Europe) means they can't get away with that so easily now.

Yes,. but not only that. I mean also local resistance - e..g, most judiciary are still independent, PIS haven`t managed to intimidate them. Gumishu described it as: the courts are still on PO`s side. hahaha

News / Poles march against Mandatory poisoning by vaccines [202]

Fortunately vaccination in Poland is commonplace.

Warsaw authorities have decreed that non-vaccinated kids won`t be admitted into local kindergartens and creches. 90% polled parents who vaccinate their kids expressed such desire.

I think it is fair.

I'd rather shoot myself than take a chinese vaccine

Afraid of getting slanted eyes???

Life / Do you know these characters from Polish movies? [223]

As you surely remember, Koterski played a role of Adam Miauczyński`s son, both troubled by obsessive compulsive disorders.
That is a classic scene when he learns English with his psychotic toxic dad .

A sincere question now: is Koterski a good actor.

Yes, in Wacko`s Day he was excellent, in my opinion.

Weź się, tato! hahahaha

Mignon is about Minionki? I think I watched this series with my kids.

This in particular is again nasty to the extreme.

Worse than the communist TV, much worse. It is amazing that they have surpassed communists in dishing out such brainwashing stuff.

News / Incredible news from Poland - The president shaved his moustache! [88]

Rambo, give them hell!

Well, eventually he gave up. The cat was taken to the Silesian zoo, close to man`s home. He can keep in touch with her as a volunteer.

It is a heartbreaking story coz we have always had many pets at home (two cats, a rabbit, turtle, tortoise, mice, snake right now) so I know how he feels. But the risk was too high - such big cats remain wild and you never know when they can snap and attack you or worse, your family.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

In terms of Mosbacher, her spirited defense of a free press

Also, defence of LGBT 1-2 weeks ago. She is a tough woman who is able to make males stand to attention. PiS did stand after she had frowned. But chauvinist Konfederacja refuses to let them be tossed around by a female, that is why they want to have her scrubbed. hahaha

Again, straight from the PRL playbook.

Yes, on the one hand, we dislike PiS for their multiple references to communist past. We thought that those horrors are long gone.

On the other hand, isn`t it wonderful to relive your youth once again? When you were fiercely anti-communist, participated in student strikes, were intimidated and threatened by secret police or party apparatchiks, refused to watch TV as a tool of dirty propaganda, admired the opposition activists who openly dared the system and were imprisoned for their views ect ect?

Shouldn`t we thank PiS for bringing it all back so that we can feel young again?

History / Poland must get back Lwow, Wilno and Brest back [345]

I'm sure Ironside is disappointed though... no Lviv for him!

In this thread, Duda`s comprehension strategies are a piece of cake compared to the message about Lvov. ::)

Iron doesn`t like Duda and PiS, in fact. He only appreciates them for anti LGBT and anti-immigrant stance. The rest is unimportant.

History / Poland must get back Lwow, Wilno and Brest back [345]

Vlad - the point is those who want Lviv back are complete fringes of Polish society - it's a non-issue in serious politics in Poland

Yes.
Duda impressed me twice today - he was able to run a casual phone conversation in English (though he heavily stuttered as usual) and secondly, he admitted what gumi has said- the case of Lvov and the whole area of Western Ukraine is non-existent in Polish politics.

Uuff, at least PiS are not nationalist maniacs, thanks God.

News / Scandals, conflicts, tensions, arguments - real life examples from Poland [543]

The scandal develops as both Foreign Office and President`s officials accuse each other of setting the President up in a comical situation, namely a phone conversation with Russian pranksters who impersonated the UN Secretary, calling to congratulate Duda on his victory.

Duda didn` t do badly except for his usual stuttering but the fact that such a conversation took place at all proves that PiS security for the state institutions is made of cardboard.

by providing them with daycare services and schools that are open for most of the day.

So, we can say we fully agree on that matter.

And whom do you mean under "Canadian natives"?

Of course I didn`t mean Indians, but Inuits who were wronged so much in the past and probably still are. .

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

Konfederacja wants the government to declare Georgette Mosbacher persona non grata and for her to be replaced

Yes, they opt for Poland`s full independence, both from the EU and the USA, not realising countries like ours can`t stay alone coz sooner or later they are swallowed by more aggressive neighbours.

Or, many suspect the independence is only smoike screen, while in fact they are the hidden 5th column, secretly working on behalf of the Kremlin which wants to divide and conquer the West.

Or maybe.... they're being used by PiS as informal bad cops?

Yes, they feel she is a serious obstacle to their plans of subjugating Polish free thought.

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]

ANNOUNCEMENT

Wow, that was a long one. I mean the campaign and thread, too. We have had a lot of fun here. But nothing lasts forever - happy moments are like butterflies. This thread is slowly coming to an end.

Dear guys, thank you very much for your participation and contribution. I mean PiS, Konfederacja, Left, KO, PSL and other supporters (or opponents). Without you, the discussions wouldn`t have been so exciting. We constanty differed and disagreed, but remember - it is only a forum. As loyal members, we can say we are forum family. In life, you also disagree with your family quite often so it is nothing reproachable.

Once again, let me congratulate PIS supporters on the victory of their fav candidate and remind Trzaskowski`s, Hołownia`s, Kosiniak`s and others` fans it is not the end of the world but just a beginning. hahaha

I suggest other threads for current politics discussions:

state? or belonging to municipal authorities?

I used a shortcut that is commonly used by Poles as opposed to private one.

I can vividly remember that during PO-PSL rule kindergartens were privatised in bigger cities

PO ruled 6 years ago, leave them alone. Now it has been PIS` time for 5 years. hahaha
