History / Documentary about Transformation in Poland since 1989 [3]

Found this great documentary series examining the transformation since communism from a sociological perspective. Was produced in 2009 for the 20th anniversary.

The first episode looks at the round table process. The second episode examines privatization and the role of corporations in Poland.
Apparently after the first episode, political pressure led to further episodes disappearing from TVP2 schedule only to be shown months later. . Highly recommended.
Needs Silverlight plugin.

On par with Sumer and Messopotamia civilsations, Agriculture, Cermaics, Metalurgy. Most probably ancient slavs.

News / Skins vs anarchists in Warsaw [93]

its a pity that harry can only get his information from his missus about poland. If he had bothered to learn polish he would understand that politics is a lot more nuanced than one march for patriots and another for neo nazi scum. But I guess such a simplistic view of poland is typical of many expats in warsaw who do not assimiliate but form cultural ghettos. These sort of people talk to poles in english but predomently socialice with other foreigners at expat bars.

But perhaps pf should give harry some lessons in polish so he can understand the country more i will start.

UK, Ireland / Former minister admits UK messed up on immigration [78]

[standpointmag.co.uk/node/5252/full] - great article in the standpoint about immigration in england.

I am usually pro multiculturalism but a few things in the article stood out. The first is a lithuanian business owner says

"I don't live in Britain. I live in Lithuania. I watch Lithuanian TV. I use the internet in Lithuanian. My friends are all Lithuanians. This shop is Lithuanian. I only meet Lithuanians. The only thing I do in Britain is pay taxes to the British."

That is worrying and explained later in the article by the differences between the american and brittish dream. There is no real pride in becoming british or forging a new future like in america.

Poles and Albanians talk about Britain as a "mini-America". But there is no British dream. East Europeans came to London not inspired by a dream of how great things could be, but by the knowledge of how much worse they can be. Talk of Britishness draws a blank face.

Of course judging by the behaviour of expat and tourist brits in poland who would want to become a brit:?

News / Skins vs anarchists in Warsaw [93]

tvp info says that the cops disapeared as soon as the fascists approached/attacked the squat for half an hour. Also that the russian embassy was left unguarded till the violence occured. Obviously a preplanned tactic to raise a climate of fear and allow the authorities and media to tar the whole march with the violent thugs brush. Though some people in the march seems to have done the goverments job by burning the rainbow.

have you thought about a death that is natural and untraceable. Potassium Chloride for instance would be perfect for your needs, IIt breaks down to natural substances and there is nothing for the coroner to notice.

I wasin't defending it at all, in fact I prob would have been on the roof of Przychodnia, I was commenting on the fact that tvn24 breathlessly reported that a community center was attacked, when there is no way of knowing who started the battle, the fascists/hooligans or the anarchists on the roof

You are not Polish nor are your two British compatriots. Chatting with each other around the clock on PF each day won't make any of you Polish either.

haha no but it prob makes them feel better about not knowing polish. You notice how they subtly and overtly bash poland?, it's an unconscious reaction to knowing that their significant other is only with them for the expat money.

Travel / Hard Candy - Krakow, Poland - reviews? [131]

As usual wikitravel is on the ball

In general, bear in mind that, just like anywhere else in Europe, it is unusual for girls or women to approach strange man/men and even less so to invite him/them for drinks. If the situation looks too good and fortunate to be true, then probably it is.

Happily putting in hard candy krakow in google the first result is this thread :)

News / Anybody watch Adam Michnik on Lis this evening? [50]

Tell you what though - why don't you go to a simulator and fly a plane at 230km/h in foggy conditions without an ILS.

Yes ive read the whole 80 page pprune thread on smolensk and see the pilots perspective that it was a classic case of CFIT. And its quite convincing. But pilots are quite conservative , For instance many pilots believe the official report that air france 296 was due to pilot error when its quite obvious that there was a coverup regarding the FBW/autopilot computer malfunctioning. In this case too the FDR was tampered with.

Did you read the notes to the wikipedia table? . Nearly all were lost in the ocean. One was too high in the mountains. There are no cases of FDR being dameged beyond repair. The FDR that is missing in the smolensk plane was in an armoured box. The WTC black boxes are the anomoly but that is anothe conspiracy in itself.

btw i don't call myself a polish patriot or blind myself to the facts by mindlessly supporting a political party, either in poland or australia but keep playing your games. I hope PO is paying you for your drooling enthusiasm.

delphiandomine

Yes, someone who had close ties to Moscow and Russia is actually a perfect person to deal with Russians.

I guess the terms 'totalitarian state' 'communism bad' fly over your head.

The presence or otherwise of one box is pretty much meaningless.

So the fact that an indestructable black box is mysteriously missing is meaningless. Just Wow.

you know about the special Polish piece of equipment that had to be decoded in Poland.

Source?

Keep going, PO needs people like you.

Its always fun meeting a mindless political aparchik, esp one who does not bother to learn the language of the country where he holds these strong political opinions.

That doesn't show us how he was "one of the most dangerous spies" for Poland.

That doesn't show us how he was "one of the most dangerous spies" for Poland.

He was second in command of a dept at the Internal Security Agency. Had close ties to moscow. Suddenly two months before the crash he gets hired to oversee the pm and presidents visit to smolensk. suss.

Re my post now in random, how do you explain the missing black box and the destroyed records on the CVR?

50. For reasons unknown to this day, the K3-63 recorder registering vital flight parameters such as time, barometric altitude, air speed, and vertical forces, has not been located. This recording device is much larger in size than other flight recorders, including the ATM. It was located under the passengers' cabin, and was protected by an armored enclosure.

51. Incongruously, during the transfer of the content of the black boxes to be digitized, there was an electrical failure, and as a result, 16 seconds of the original recordings were lost. Minister Miller made a special trip to Moscow to obtain these recordings

This plane as if tapped into the mud , crashed over them. Hence, it was not perhaps such a bang. Russians crash site surrounded with yellow tape , which came from behind the employee of the Federal Security Service of the Russian FSO. He said that three people gave " żyzniennyje reflections " or unconditional reflexes life example . Agonal convulsions . But that does not mean that someone survived - said in an interview with Polish Tomasz Turowski Virtual , " an illegal " intelligence PRL and diplomat , who on 10 April 2010 had to greet President Lech Kaczynski at the airport in Smolensk. The conversation took place in conjunction with the release of the book - the interview - river " Mole in the Vatican. Turowski truth ."

Keep going, however - us PO supporters love to point at foreigners interfering with Polish affairs as a reason why PiS stands for treason.[/quote]

I neither support PO or PIS, if anything i would have voted for ruch palikota. However i do believe that absolute power corrupts absolutely and the murders and thiefs who do business as 'the state' would have no qualms in performing acts that the majority of people would find horrible.

dianawest.net/Home/tabid/36/EntryId/2250/Explosive-Update-The-Smolensk-Crash.aspx

This is a good summary of the pro coup evidence at smolensk [/url] I would encourage everyone to read it with an open mind and read the detailed reports in the links before rushing to judgement

- Prof Binienda models show that the wing would have cut through the birch like a knife and the wind damage happened from another cause. No response from official commision except to admit they did not do any simulations like this.

- Prof Nowaczyk analaysed the data avaible from the FMS and claims that there were 2 violent jolts, and these took place when the plane was 226 feet past the birch tree. NO response from official commision

The statement of Engineer Berczynski about the torn rivets has not recieved much notice and def

Each of them could withstand a load of not less than 150 kg. In analyzed photographs, taken shortly after the crash, dozens of empty holes from torn-out rivets are seen.
The expert pointed out that only an explosion could create such a force, under the influence of which the lining was torn, but not the crash of the plane. In addition, evidence of an explosion is seen in torn surfaces (top and bottom) of the wing

NO response from official commision

- The Mysterious suicides esp Remingus Mus the flight navigator who specifically stated that he heard the atc controlers instruct the tu-154 to descent to 50m and not 100m.

-Two months before the crash Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs unexpectedly reappointed a retired diplomat Mr. Tomasz Turowski and tasked him with organizing the Polish delegation visit to Russia. Turowski was at the landing field of the Smolensk airport during the crash. In 2011 Polish press revealed that Turowski had been one of the most dangerous "illegal" spies in communist Poland (i.e. he was working undercover in Rome during the time of a failed assassination against Pope John Paul II)

Dude is apparatchik, acts such as SB, is an officer, promoted, shoots pretty high. Has children, which, thanks to his position can send to private schools abroad, they do a good job. In addition to his children once they have the appropriate connections, so is part of the team. Then comes the so-called. transformation, the old team gets along with the new team. Go to the "capitalism", but still give out still the old team holds all the cards. And now, thanks to the parents of these kids occupy positions of authority, sit on the boards of major companies, leading television programs, edits a newspaper, etc. This is nepotism, which aims to keep power in the hands of one clan.
