History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]

is academic freedom and attempts to supress

In fact there are no such attempts.
You're making stuff up!
There are a lying scum that with his lies blackened a name of a person.
There is a family of the desist person in question. Who doesn't care much for those lies.
There is a lawsuit that screwed that cowardly liar senseless.
There is YOUR vested interest because as the translator of those lies you hope to earn your commission. Whereas the lawsuit can as well put an end to it.

Uh,

So what is your commission and how much they paid you for the translation of those lies that is novels ?

Who?

author who do you think I was talking about? Nobody (except those Jews or whoever in America) take that scum seriously and he is not even a historian and his novels are fiction. If you have been fooled think again if you are just being obtuse. FO!

academic freedom

There is nothing academic about those scammers.

It didn't take you long.

Oh boo ho?! Do you think I care about your censorship and insinuations? It is I who should say - aha didn't take you long. Freedom of debate and academic freedom and in the same post - censorship.

Those you agree with - should be praised and allowed to say everything even if those are just racist, hatful lies.
Those who disagree should censor their words or they gonna be shunned and called names, even if they have done nothing wrong..
Generalization about Poles and Poland is Ok , Generalization about Jews is not.
lol!

The controversy

There is not controversy. Those are 100% lies, and that dude is a 100% proven liar. He even falsified sources.

They're very readable and sold well

Sure, no problem with that. Let them sell it all to those who are waiting for that kind of BS to confirm their hate and their prejudice. Author/s can even write - based on a true story - to increase sells for what I care..

I only object to the brazen deception they employ.
They pretend there is some legit academical research involved and that those books are history books. Whilst in fact those novels belong in the category of historical fiction.

I think they really try too hard.
The Jews in America are such a brainwashed haters that they wouldn't even notice the difference. Some Jewish newspaper (lol) showed a picture of a shallow hole, freshly dug in some bushes as a prove that in Poland people are devastating Jewish graves.

I mean that newspaper could have an agenda but even a one brain cell was enough to see that the picture is just a brazen sham.

Not the readers thought.

Hey I checked what it is all about. HA ! I was right. Evidently those two are a pair of lies that lives off selling - Poles here killing Jews narrative.

Absolutely disgusting and repulsing people who made the stuff up.
IF they are academics it must be in the Collage of Lies and Deception.
Well their brazen activity blew in their feces as they told lies about some random person who had kids and grandchildren and those didn't take kindly to them lies.

Who defines what is "proper research"?

Academicals standards and due diligence. They actually teach those at universities, less and less but still... wait a minute you don't know that? it puts your claims about your education into a serious doubt.

a lawsuit

You protest too much, If they would have done a good job there should be enough evidence to dismiss the lawsuit. Unless it is all just BS and insinuations they have no reason to panic.

technicality involving two people

Something that a proper research would let them to avoid. ..

You evidently don't get out much

a Cheap shot!

stifling of academiv freedom

Nobody is stifling anything. Most likely some activist types wanted some fresh story to use it as a fodder for their activities as they have done in the past. This time it backfired into their faces as they know very little about facts, evidence and academical research, instead they rely on hutzpah and brazen insinuations. All they know about are their feelings and opinions. Rather than teach about the past they preach about imaginary moral transgressions as they see it at least according to the gospel of the neo-Marxism.

They F with the wrong people this time and now they whine and lie and ask for support from their ideological base in hope some sympathizes in high places will help them out of the pickle.

History / Poland's borders throughout history [25]

I don't memorize those things. As for stable borders I guess what you mean but I don't think it the right way of expressing it in English.

I know that the western border had been the same for a very long time, with a very few minor changes in Poland's favor. Since roughly 1380 to 1793.

In the 1500' Poland gained some part of the Opole dukedom thanks to the last duke John Opolski (from the Piast dynasty).
In 1454 Prussia become Polish, half of it become a part of Poland whilst the other part become its vassal state.

In the 1600 a few counties of Pomerania become a part of the Kingdom due to some financial dealings.

Lwow should belong to Poland there is not question about it as well as Podole. It would allowed Poland to reach into the Black Sea shores.

Also Smolensk has no right being in Russia. It is Polish border city.

Who knows what sorts of deranged acts s

Same goes for all kind of lefties. How many of those are scrutinized?
By the way those who are hiring people have some kind of mandate from the people. You have nothing. Tying to influence employment policy of gov institutions by bringing some pictures from 20 years ago and making some unsavory insinuation to backlist people. without taking into account their professionalism, skills and ability is a wrong thing to do.

It is a hate campaign .

State controlled media does not generate any profits or taxes.

I'm not saying that companies should be controlled by a government. Except maybe for strategically vital industries - depends on a country and circumstances. No matter.

What we are talking about is some tax which may or may not be an attempt at bringing some TV stations under gov control. If that is a case it is:

a, a very dumb move
b, one that will end in a failure.
On the other hand as far as I know media market is overrun by foreign companies and a capital. I wouldn't mind if they would just scram.

I would say that it is an attempt on the part of the gov to look for some new ways of getting more revenue.

Third world country's control the media.

Dude is that even an argument? Who cares? By the way because media in first world countries are controlled by practically unaccountable oligarchs.
Not that much different from Russia.
I would say differences between first and third world countries are down to much more detailed and complex issues that who and how control the media.

Nowadays the most important one the Internet seems to be controlled by the lizard people..... it should be regulated by the law of a country to keep monopoly of corporations at bay.

if the public are influenced or swayed

Well people are more stupid that they are given a credit for, Also that is my opinion not a nonsense.

No you haven't.

Oh but I have, not about all of them mind you, but it stand to reason if one or two can get away with that all the rest will be doing the same.

Like TVPiS tries to do

Their are ah-les but they are domestics a-les. Poland doesn't need some foreign a-les added to the pot.

So in fact you don't believe in:

I do. I believe it has consequences if someone want to sue someone else they should be able do that. You confuse a lawsuit with a censorship.

Anyway it is all theoretical as in the EU there is no freedom of speech.

It was under fascist occupation.

ah but the war it was their joint project, they very much enabled and instigated the WWII with their fascist kin. Soviets' were a good ally with Hitler till 1941. Wouldn't that be three years of the war - for some. ?

They can and do pay tax on their profits.

Do they? I'm not sure they do. They say their do but I have heard from a good source something entirely different.

Read the thread title before burbling out rubbish.

There are not independent mediums unless you are talking about a direct gov control. When it comes to foreign owned media I couldn't care less about their status or problems or taxes. They shouldn't be operating in Poland anyways.

Why?

Because they would wield undue influence over public views and sympathies. They could and would (are )sway people to mold Polish gov and Polish laws into a shape much more favorable to their interests! Without any regard for the Polish national interest or for the welfare and wellbeing of the Polish people.

What exception.

The way you talk about it makes it look like you are asking for some exception or a privilege just because they are academics.
Academics or not their works and their ethics should be open to a scrutiny. Even law suits.

Why?

Because they have such a mindset , a collective mindset that doesn't recognize individuals outside of their class or gender or what have you.
They were involved very much at the time. ( I guess you mean WWII)

It's irrelevant who owns it.

No it isn't.

if they make a profit..

If they cannot afford to pay taxes they should leave ....

independent media,

Independent from what? and tax them not close them and if that ist their aim, nothing will happen this is PiS and Poland.
By the way they could take away their license if they want to close them so no need for them to go all around.

Yep, there is such a segment in any society and its called - wait for it - criminals. It must be a surprise for you, eh? As you have been born yesterday.

Do not talk about something you have no clue about. Lets talk about commies and their collective ideologies and views.
( How can you be wrong almost every time? that is some kind of an achievement per se,. )

Is academics freedom important or not?

F them? Why are they worthy of an exception? I support freedom of speech for everyone!
On the other hand you support it only for those who agree with you and who belong to some special category like academics. It makes you a hypocrite.

TVPiS from both taking taxpayer's money

The very idea of Governmental TV could be questioned/ I have a feeling that you question it because PiS is in charge. In that case get over it.

this dodgy "advertising tax

Most of those 'free' media are owned by the foreign capital. It is only right they should pay some tax.

You must be unaware. There is not doubt that Poland is guilty one way or the other. Otherwise all that noise in the NYT and here and there wouldn't be on the menu - not to mention an extorsion.

A court 70 years ago.

So what? I mean what is your argument? You think it was so therefore that is the correct version by the virtue of your want? Eye witness could lie. Couldn't they? Do they remember events from 70 years ago well? Maybe they are dead and all you got is hearsay. You want to play? That is the game that both sides can play.

There's no "version" of the Holocaust

There is. There is a German 'version' and there is a Jewish 'version' and there some other 'versions'. Some are less biased and truthful than others.

Currently there is a one 'version' that is prevalent in the west - the Jewish 'version'.
As usual so called historical truth is a victim of political and financial greed. Nevertheless if a one is so inclined it is possible to find some truthful summaries of those sad times.

The truth is that they only want one approved version of the Holocaust

Hey there is one and only approved version of the Holocaust.
Don't tell me you don't know.
Everybody and sundry are guilty or guilty by association except for those countries that hold too much political, financial and military cloud. Ergo Poland is guilty by definition. No wonder really you should know that reality delph if you are weak they will bully you as they can get away with it.

Can you blame naive people in Poland and their attempts at talking about such trivial unimportant details like the truth, facts and context? Not to mention Polish victims of the death camps.
