Not people, but slobs and hooligans like the scum they really are turn a civilised cultural event into a shouting match.

News / Mass protests needed in Poland in front of American embassy [60]

President elect Trump wants to deport all of the Muslims from America in the name of safety to the American people.

As far as I know he is not yet the President elect. BTW, what do you think about the candidate who is saying that among many other things:

When you have an economy when 99 % of all the income goes to the top 1% and when the top 0.1 percent owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90% when one family, the Walton family itself, owns more wealth than the bottom 130 million Americans. That is not an economy that America is supposed to have.

News / 2016, the year of change in Poland? [70]

Pieśń NSZ: Jedna bomba atomowa i wrócimy znów do Lwowa. Druga mała, ale silna i wrócimy też do Wilna.

The song of the National Armed Forces:

Truman, Truman, drop that bomb,
We can't wait it any long.
Give us only one blast-off
and we'll get us back to Lvov
Take another strong and whack
and we'll get to Vilno back.

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [331]

Polish women are the most beautiful in the world

I sense in this a handsome compliment paid by an old English lecher aimed at young and stupid Polish girls to make another conquest.

However, if this gent sexsual advences are repelled with scorn then suddenly he is painting a picture of Poles in general as the most ignorat People on Earth, the chipest slaves, usualy working at a waste recycling plant or at most at a warehouse - filling up the lowest of the low social strata of OUR SOCIETY. Am I right?

News / The dossier of TW "Bolek" - Poland's IPN assisted by police enters the home of the late general Kiszczak [306]

Decommunisation could have landed former communist big shots in jail.

Let sleeping bolshies of the past lie in peace. As for the living ones, they, as always, are in majority and hunting for whatever easy spoils they caught sight of.

There are and always will be bolshies in the lead of a witch-hunt for whatever easy victim. This time it is a season for commies and so-called islamists. Beware of being a bolshie of today.

You can check if you are not a fully authorised bolshie of today if you make an experiment and put in place of commies or so-called islamist, let's say Jews or a Poles. Thus you will see if you'll end up being called an anti-Semite or hater of the Polish people. If so then you are a bolshie.

News / The dossier of TW "Bolek" - Poland's IPN assisted by police enters the home of the late general Kiszczak [306]

The PPR nad later PZPR as a band of semi-literate lumpenproles, thugs and peasants knew they wouldn't get very far without intelligentsia back-up.

They were simply running with their eyes fixed on America:

Opowiadał (przyp. Czapski) im o chicagowskich rzeźniach i fabrykach Forda, które wizytował. O ludziach z tanich jadłodajni Nowego Jorku. O micie zbyt łatwego optymizmu i o pudrowaniu śmierci. Relacjonował rozmowy z taksówkarzami i śniadanie z Lechoniem. Opisywał strajk robotników w Detroit i bankiet business-ladies. Przywiózł też anegdoty, które rozśmieszały cały Lafit. Pani w futrze i brylantach prosi, by Czapski się przesunął: "Stary zabierz te dupe" - bo jak większość Polonii mówiła chłopską gwarą. Ktoś daje mu sto dolarów z zastrzeżeniem, że to nie na żadną "Kulturę", "Niech pan to przepije!". I tak dalej.

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

Fantastic article in the Financial Times about Wałęsa

... like many of Poland's friends in western Europe, Walesa is deeply troubled by the government's effort to seize control of institutions such as the constitutional court and the state broadcasting system. Walesa has called PiS a threat to Polish democracy and has called for early elections. [...] In this context it should be kept in mind that the Institute of National Remembrance, the state investigative agency that released the latest documents in the Walesa affair, is politically close to PiS.

This leaves no room for unexpected events like seeking money 'poor Mrs Kiszczak,' selling needless documents from 'the private archive' of the late Mr Kiszczak.

News / "We will not hesitate to shoot Kaczyński dead" - KOD Facebook page [164]

Average Poles got ripped off, they're the suckers, losers and victims who lost out on the transformation.

What do you think of prof. Kieżun's opinions on the subject:



\

The situation in the crucial for Poland years of transformation was also described in the book by Noami Klein: the Shock Doctrine:

... the IMF and the U.S. Treasury saw Poland's problems through the prism of the shock doctrine. An economic meltdown and a heavy debt load, compounded by the disorientation of rapid regime change, meant that Poland was in the perfect weakened position to accept a radical shock therapy program.

News / Adam Michnik awarded for integrity, professionalism and high standards. Poland's No. 1 fascist? [321]

GW is preferred by anglers.

If you would read as many newspapers as I do you would have noticed that many authors write for whatever paper there is on the market; what only counts for them is the readership they can reach. By the way, the readership of Gazeta Wyborcza is not the least demanding, quite the opposite. And don't be too parochial - read whatever newspaper you happen to pick up without any prejudices.

News / An article: NATO is the American occupation of Poland and Europe, by Mateusz Piskorski [233]

existence of NATO is more than justified

The justification: NATO troops have to guard pipelines that transport oil and gas that is directed for the West, and more generally to protect sea routes used by tankers and other 'crucial infrastructure' of the energy system.

News / PiS to impose blanket retail tax in Poland [291]

The plutiocrats who are already filthy rich can afford to shave their margin a bit and extend a helping hand to the hero of this story, the ordinary Pole.

I do not know if this is true about economic policy of U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne. Who can confirm or deny the information? Any British following the situation in his/her country?

The government is insisting on taking billions of Pounds out of the economy through its austerity program, yet at the very same time it is pumping billion of Pounds into the economy through Quantitative Easing, the equivalent of 24,000 Pounds for every family in Britain.

But it gets even more confusing, because the Bank of England has admitted that those billions of Pounds are not going where they are supposed to. A vast majority of that money has actually found its way into the hands of the wealthiest five percent in Britain. It has been described as the biggest transfer of wealth to the rich in recent documented history.

It could be a huge scandal, comparable to the greedy oligarchs in Russia. A ruthless elite, siphoning off billions in public money. But nobody seems to know.

You would expect them to tax the rich or those that could afford it (maybe the banks).

There must be a reason for avoiding taxing the rich.

Who would you rather be in control of the of the world between the two, NATO or Putin ?

At the end of the Cold War, Russia reduced its network of foreign military bases, but through several rounds of Base Realignment and Closure, the U.S. increased its numbers.

Russia is not a match and will not be a match for the USA.

News / PiS to impose blanket retail tax in Poland [291]

...still wondering when someone is going to explain how a blanket 2% tax on retailers is going to help small Polish businesses and consumers.

You can't win elections by announcing taxation on retailers. To fulfill other promises you need money and you can't tax international institutions - banks, corporations and hypermarkets. To do so, the Polish government should have much more power than it has.

News / An article: NATO is the American occupation of Poland and Europe, by Mateusz Piskorski [233]

Great, that will expand NATO!

Jaap de Hoop Scheffer NATO Secretary General in 2003: NATO troops have to guard pipelines that transport oil and gas that is directed for the West, and more generally to protect sea routes used by tankers and other 'crucial infrastructure' of the energy system. From Wikipedia.

Why NATO do exist after Soviet Uninon collapsed? Before it collapsed the official explanation for NATO's existence was to defend west aginst the hords from the east. Since early 90s there is no Soviet Union and what happend - NATO expanded. Now the official mission of NATO, as put by NATO Secretery Genaral, is to control the global energy system: that is to control the world. You saw this in Kosovo and Serbia in 1999 and in Iraq in 2003.[/i]

Why to be so overexcited by this U.S.-run global intervention force - I do not understand.

News / PiS to impose blanket retail tax in Poland [291]

Lack of "political stability" (real or not) is not the same as country being democratic or not; BTW, democracies are usually less stable in a short run than tyrannies. Is their's then a short term rating?

They see a downward trajectory in Polish democracy (and not only they see it) and this new rating reflects that.

What does the S&P rating have to do with democracy?
