ANALYSIS

It was beyond my imagination - Lech Kaczynski talks
about Lech Walesa

Lech Wałęsa - when did you become close to him?
- In November 1982, after being released from internment. But I met him before, back in 1978, in the Free Trade Unions - he was a "trainee."

Keeping WWII stolen art is like being a Nazi!

World War II brought unbearable misery and suffering to Poland and Poles. Poland lost 11,071,000 people of its 38 million nation, as well as 30% of its land, after being betrayed by her allies and neighbors. The material losses cannot be compared to anything known before.

Disciplinary Chamber

Are you aware that it was the English who started modern anti-Semitism in Europe

The US Treasury Ministry justified the sanctioning of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaski because he assisted Russian President Vladimir Putin in laundering money, according to the British Financial Times. Deripaska is one of Putin's most trusted people. At Deripaska’s facility Avikor in Samara the Polish Tu-154 aircraft went through general overhaul shortly before crashing in Smolensk.

Are you aware that it was the English who started modern anti-Semitism in Europe? Are you aware that after killing many of them and stealing their property, the English expelled any surviving Jews from their island? Or that Jews could not legally return to Britain for over three hundred years? Are you aware that the Russians invented the pogroms and the Germans the holocaust?

Rulers of Russia consistently act in accordance with guidelines written already 200-300 years ago

With many pathologies of the Russian ruling class, it shall be acknowledged that whoever governs, Russia is able to preserve and maintain the continuity of goals. The implementation of Moscow's policy is not limited to several projects planned for several years. Rulers of Russia consistently act in accordance with guidelines written 200-300 years ago in the instructions of Peter I or Catherine II.

Poles killed by Germans for helping Jews in WWII are the most harmed group.

As the term “Nazis” effectively replaced “Germans” in the Holocaust research and education, new perpetrators of the Holocaust have emerged. In today’s public perception Germans are no longer responsible for the Final Solution.

Jewish restitution claims against Poland for heirless property lost in World War II generate a lot of heated emotions, various interpretations, and a lot of misunderstanding. These bogus claims for heirless property compensation are raised by aggressive groups of the Jewish diaspora, especially from the United States.

Poles killed by Germans for helping Jews in WWII are the most harmed group. They are not counted either as the Righteous or as the victims of the Holocaust, says prof. Magdalena Gawin, Deputy Minister of the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage..

Murder of Jews in the village of Jedwabne in 1941 belongs to those issues

A 2009 secret note of US Ambassador to Poland.

This matter is a bit forgotten, but in the context of the massive Israeli defamation campaign against Poland supported by actions of American media and politicians ("Law 447"), it is worth recalling the secret 2009 note of the US ambassador to Poland disclosed by Wikileaks. According to January 23, 2009 note of US Ambassador V. H. Asche, the Polish authorities wanted to sell national forests and valuable real estate belonging to the State Treasury in order to pay Jewish restitution demands.

How Germans and Soviets conspired in committing genocide on ethnic Poles

To all the demagogues and creators of the "new history of Europe" who, with the increasing fervor, have been denying the role of the Soviet Union in the extermination of the Polish nation, it is worth recalling the mutual Soviet-German meetings in the years 1939-1941 in the occupied Polish territory.

In Tribute to Prime Minister Jan Olszewski

In tribute to Jan Olszewski, first Prime Minister of Poland who came to power as a result of the first free elections after the demise of communism. Prime Minister Jan Olszewski passed away in Warsaw on February 7, 2019 at the age of 88. RIP.

How the Poles are framed as perpetrators of the Jedwabne Crime

The murder of Jews in the village of Jedwabne in 1941 belongs to those issues, which become a trademark of Poland in the world today. Poland is viewed through this prism. This very heinous and massive propaganda against Poland uses arguments that are completely untruthful and baseless. We can show it, we can prove it, we can make fun of those who say such things, but they shrug and say "and what are you going to do to us?"

RUSSIA IN - AMERICA OUT - GERMANY UP
German New World Order

Heiko Maas recently met with Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs Jacek Czaputowicz. The two gentlemen talked, exchanged some nice words, posed for nice photos, and at the end Mr. Maas came home and wrote an article about the New World Order. The article is hundredfold more important than the entire visit to our country. The piece that Maas published concerns the German vision of Europe - the vision that could have disastrous consequences for Poland.

Ancestors of Civic Platform i.e. Platforma Obywatelska by Stanley Naj

After the defeat of Poland in the fall of 1939, the political work of the Communist Party all over the world was directed toward halting all armed efforts and disseminating defeatism in the Allied camp. Eventually, the Allied realized that it became necessary to put an end to this misuse of civic freedoms, and the arrest of Maurice Thorez in France, suspension of the Daily Worker in Great Britain, the arrest of Earl Browder in the United States, followed.

What it meant to be righteous in German-occupied Poland

Jan Żaryn: The Church in Poland and the Events of March 1968

Analyzing the position of the Polish Bishops' Conference, we should notice the distinction it made between justifiable criticism of the regime for its approach to university students on the one hand and the Catholics' improper interference with disputes taking place within the communist party on the other, observes Prof.

Hermann Schaper is the real perpetrator of Jedwabne crime.
German historian rebuts J.T. Gross

The SS death commando went in 1941 from town to town, acting according to the same pattern. At the end of June Wizna, July 5 Wąsosz, July 7 Radziłów, July 10 Jedwabne, later in August Łomża, about August 22 Tykocin, September 4 Rutki. Hermann Schaper connects them all.

Why the Germans became "Nazis"?

Since when did the Germans who committed terrible crimes during World War II began to hide under the enigmatic universal term "Nazis"? The behind the scene development of this clever trick was presented in the weekly "Sieci" in October 2016 by Wojciech Reszczyński. Today this key question "who were the Nazis?" remains valid more than ever. In a leading BBC reporting attacking amendments to the Polish IPN law the world “German” does not appear. It is replaced by the word “Nazis.”

"Formatting" the Enemy

Formatting - this is the key word in the Russian info warfare according to a book "Disinformation" published in 2013 by the former head of DIE, the Romanian intelligence service, Mikhail Ion Pacepa. He fled to the United States in 1978. The book describes how the Soviet Union, and today the Russian Federation, is leading its most important diversionary activity in the West.

Poland’s Independence and German Intelligence BND

It was at the turn of 1980s and 1990s, when the Federal Intelligence of Germany (BND) through Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU) financed the development of several political parties in Poland. Some of those parties have since disappeared from the political scene, remembered only by historians.

Who is trying to “Turn off the government in Poland”?

If a domestic political entity in Poland receives most of its funding from a foreign source, one that is outside of Poland, then such an entity does not legitimately represent the interest of the interest-groups within the country itself.

Lech vs. Lech: Prof. Cenckiewicz on the roots of attacks on Lech Kaczyński

Cimoszewicz (former communist apparatchik) has one argument typical for people of his background like Lech Wałęsa - he has been cleared in the lustration process. He did not face any indictment for lying in the lustration process.

Poland’s future in Eurocorps

“Eurocorps is a political symbol, rather than an elite military unit,” says Deputy Defense Minister, Tomasz Szatkowski, in his interview with wpolityce.pl.

Tusk was able to write off 1.2 billion of Gazprom debt once President Kaczyński was eliminated in the Smolensk crash.

Lech Kaczyński was against writing off Gazprom's debt of 1.2 billion PLN owed by the Russian concern to a Polish company owned by the Polish Treasury. Donald Tusk was in favor of writing off Gazprom debt.

Germany intentionally distorts history of WWII

German television station ZDF refuses to apologize for using the term "Polish concentration camps," despite having been ordered to do so by the Kracow Court of Appeal, an order confirmed by the German District Court of Mainz. Attorney Lech Obara told IAR Radio that he believes the Polish court judgment will be fully executed.

What happened before 10.04.10?

Dorota Kania, a journalist with Gazeta Polska, discusses her article on "the Lithuanian operation," dirty games of some diplomats towards late President Lech Kaczynski, and an allegedly predetermined tender for renovation of Tupolev that crashed in Smolensk.

Shocking details of attempted coup d’état in Montenegro

The prosecutor of Montenegro for organized crime Milivoje Katnic has accused Russia and its intelligence agents of involvement in the conspiracy to kill the Prime Minister of Montenegro Milo Djukanovic on the eve of parliamentary elections in October of 2016.

By Aleksander Ścios

When describing the 1980s in Poland, we cannot ignore the role played by the fake opposition in the communist Polish People’s Republic. To define and describe this phenomenon, a new method of historical retrospection and “a new methodology” needs to be applied in place of the superficial assessment of facts.

Considering a complaint filed by Krystyna Pawlowicz, MP, against the national television broadcaster TVN, dated October 26, 2016, the Polish National Broadcasting Council (“PNBC”) declared part of the allegations to be justified – reads the official statement.

Jarosław Kaczyński gave an interview for Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The German interviewer attacked the Polish politician by strongly criticizing Poland’s decision not to accept refugees. He declared that it was “against the Christian values.” The Chairman of Law and Justice Party (PIS) responded: “There are about a billion people in the world, whose hard lives would improve dramatically if they came to Europe or America. However, their arrival would destroy what we should treasure the most: our civilization which is based on Christian values, the most human-friendly of all civilizations in the history of humanity.”

Just to clarify – no one is being killed on the streets in Poland on government’s order.

What is the condition of democracy in Poland? If one was to learn it from the report of „The Economist” – it is woeful. The problem is that in the “Economist” report democracy in the Philippines fares better than in Poland – the same Philippines, where on President’s orders death squads kill people on the streets. Just to clarify – no one is being killed on the streets in Poland on government’s order.

This photo shows the 14-year-old Czesława Kwok, who was sent to Auschwitz at the end of 1942. She was one of 10,000 children from Zamojszczyzna murdered by the Nazis Germany as part of Aktion Zamość conducted between 1942 and 1943 in Poland. She was 14 years old when as a result of the selection process made on the inhabitants of the Zamość region, she along with her mother, Catherine, was destined to die in the German concentration camp in Auschwitz. They were transferred to Auschwitz on December 13, 1942, where they were given the numbers 26946 and 26947. Germans killed her by an injection of phenol to the heart on February 18, 1943.

The historian added that despite this invigilation operation, the communist counter-intelligence did not establish the link between Burggraf and colonel Kukliński.

Sue Burggraf, CIA liaison officer, was monitored by the Polish communist secret service. Surveillance operation of the American, who among other things, dealt with the case of Colonel Ryszard Kuklińki, was coordinated by the communist colonel Gromosław Czempiński. A few years ago, this former communist security service officer confirmed that he participated in the founding of the Civic Platform Party. Today, the Institute of National Remembrance published the register of documents that in 2016 were excluded from the so-called classified set.

A Lady with an Ermine awakened the Bolsheviks

Europe needs America. We shall keep reminding our partners that the resignation from transatlantic collaboration calls to mind bad experiences – Witold Waszczykowski, Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs said in Davos.

27 years after the fall of communism, radical left returns to the slogans under which the Bolsheviks decimated the Polish elites in the twentieth century. Perhaps it is time for discussion about justice in Poland?

Poland has been recently, to use a metaphoric expression, “on the lips” of many Western European and American newspapers.

Secret Police "Zetka" Files to be Declassified.

The decision of the European Commission to "monitor" the rule of law in Poland represents a policy of pressure and the continuation of the strategy of intimidation and blackmail. It does not have much practical significance, but it has to impress the public opinion in Poland and beyond. It also has to trigger the "re-socialization" of new Polish government.

Although the provisions of the law on Constitutional Court pursuant to which 3 judges were elected by the departing PO-PSL government are valid, the election of those 3 judges is invalid because of the violations of parliamentary procedures pursuant to which the 3 judges were elected. This is why, inter alia, the election of 5 judges by the new Parliament led by Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (PIS) is valid and in full compliance with the law.

As long as the editors of "Gazeta Wyborcza" (GW) and leaders of the Committee for Defense of Democracy (KOD) use the rhetoric of hate, they risk aiding and abetting a crime.

It is likely that in February 2016 Defense Minister Antoni Macierewicz will declassify top secret files held by the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN), the so-called “Zetka” intelligence files, reports Rzeczpospolita.

Poland Needs Security and Ballistic Missile Defense, Says Minister Waszczykowski

Russia tests NATO defense systems, identifies their locations, and monitors how capable defense systems of NATO member states are. The question is whether Russia plans to attack, or whether it just enjoys provoking NATO and some of its member states. An answer to this question is critical.

Polish Public Television is not the voice of the nation.

Polish Public television has not spoken on behalf of the nation. It was appropriated by the previous party and does not intend to walk away from benefiting from this position.

NATO Expert Center for Counterintelligence (CI) a Parachute Project.

The victory of Law and Justice (PiS) and the political change in Poland came as no surprise to the people connected with post-communist special services. This group has always been very alert and able to protect their own interests. Time and time again, they showed that they knew how to protect themselves in case a new government choses to threaten their empire and seek their accountability for numerous crimes.

The Polish Ministry of Defense terminated an agreement signed between Poland’s Military Counterintelligence Service (SKW) and the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB). Also, Minister of Defense Antoni Macierewicz recalled Col. Krzysztof Dusza and Col. Piotr Pytel from the Expert Center for NATO's Counterintelligence Operations. They were both part of the SKW directorate during the time when the agreement with FSB was signed, allowing for impunitive infiltration into Poland’s Military Counterintelligence Service.

Shooting down Russian Su-24 is the most significant event in relations between Russia and NATO since the end of the "cold war." For the first time, one of the members of the Alliance applied measure that is effective and appropriate to the behavior of the aggressor.

A dilemma that confronts Germany’s world-power ambitions can be defined as follows: Germany is too large for Europe, but too small for the world. In order to play an essential role as a world power, they must seek a partner, rich in resources, which would increase their potential. Such a partner is Russia.

Antoni Macierewicz (kneeling), Minister of Defense of the Republic of Poland.

At least several dozen unlawful surveillance operations conducted within the last seven years were aimed at the politicians and experts of the Law and Justice Party (“PIS”), as well as journalists of the opposition press, such as Gazeta Polska, wSieci, Do Rzeczy and Nasz Dziennik. Officers of Polish intelligence and security services who are aware of a wide scale of these operations claim that the Sejm (Parliament) should appoint a special commission to investigate the matter, and to conduct a thorough audit of all illegal activities taken against the opposition journalists and politicians by the government of the Civic Platform (“CP”).

Andrzej Rzepliński, Chief Judge, Polish Constitutional Tribunal.

What did Poland’s Chief Justice of Constitutional Tribunal know about a slew of politically-motivated murders, including that of the Solidarity Priest, Fr. Jerzy Popiełuszko, and what did he do with this knowledge? Colonel Pietruszka revealed who from the MSW (Ministry of Interior) ordered the murder and who actually murdered Piotr Bartoszcze. Pietruszka’s interview was conducted in the presence of Prof. Rzepliński. What did Professor Rzeplinski do with this knowledge?

What is really happening in Poland today?

Since the “June 1989 Roundtable Negotiations” between the communist government and the leaders of the Solidarity Movement, Poland has been tightly controlled and governed by a shadowy power holding group. It consists of former communist military intelligence officers, their Russian “handlers”, communist prosecutors, and communist judges. Other types of Special Services and some political parties have become the front-end tools of this shadowy center of power.

Everyone perennially pays lip service to the importance of free expression, but it is only in periods of extreme stress on this issue, after Charlie Hebdo, for example, that it comes to the front and is actively defended. By not having more concern for all the subtle, coercive, and undermining acts of censorship that regularly occur, I believe we allow a crony system to fester and become ever more pernicious in the way that it crowds out the free, the uncompromised, the productive, and the competitive in a society.

Russia attacks ISIS from the sea. The “astonishing” accuracy of Russian missile systems.

The Russian Defense Minister, Sergei Shoygu issued a statement about the completion of a series of attacks on Islamist targets, utilizing missiles fired from military vessels. This has caught some commentators by surprise, seeing as how the missile attacks were conducted by a small fleet located in the Caspian Sea. According to the majority of sources, the fleet should not have targeting abilities of 1500 km and more.

Upcoming 2015 parliamentary elections may challenge the post-communist prearrangement in Poland.

Upcoming elections can challenge the system of the Third Republic in place for 26 years, with two brief intervals for the rule of Jan Olszewski Government in 1991/1992 and the presidency of Lech Kaczynski. That would be a fundamental change, said Bronislaw Wildstein in an interview about the parliamentary elections of October 25, 2015.

The Kremlin’s propaganda offensive. Here is the proof!

Although for a long time already nobody seems to have any doubts about the mobilization within the Russian propaganda machine, the problem has become significant enough to be investigated by the international organizations dealing with the media monitoring.

Is Russia aiming at annexing Belarus while Europe deals with refugees?

Will Belarus share Crimea’s fate? It is a probable scenario considering the latest actions of Vladimir Putin, who, without Alexander Lukashenko’s consent, has signed a decree on building an air base in Belarus.

Why Nord Stream II is totally ignored by the Polish Government?

As the immigration crisis was unfolding in Europe, an important meeting took place in Vladivostok, Russia, on September 4, 2015, between Gazprom Chairman Aleksey Miller and representatives of German corporations BASF and E.ON, French ENGIE, Austrian OMV and Royal Dutch Shell from Great Britain.

How the "Solidarity" Trade Union Was Born: Sorting out the truth from lies about August 1980 Strike.

“Do we know what caused the outbreak of the strike in the Gdansk Shipyard? Is the truth so hard to bear that it is easier to blindly accept Borusewicz’s version of events that the strike was organized by five people: Bogdan Borusewicz himself, Jerzy Borowczak, Bogdan Felski, Ludwik Prądzyński and Lech Wałęsa?” asked Krzysztof Wyszkowski in his 2012 article Solidarity as Incuriosity.

Sudden death of billionaire Kulczyk in Vienna is very significant in light of just revealed Kulczyk-Tusk secret tapes, says Macierewicz.

Kulczyk was the richest man in Poland and ranked by the Forbes Magazine as number 430 richest man in the world in 2014. His net worth was estimated at close to $4 billion at the time of his death. His company, founded in 1991 Kulczyk Holding, has operations in over 30 countries, in areas such as finance, telecommunications, energy, media, infrastructure, real estate, and more.

Nearly half of young Polish citizens want to leave their country. The research by the Polish Association of Personnel Management shows that 48 percent of educated young people consider emigration once they graduate.

The Overthrow of the Jan Olszewski Government Gave a New Lease on Life to the Noe-Communists in Poland

Krzysztof Wyszkowski, an anticommunist activist and leader of the independent Solidarity Trade Union Movement, who was persecuted by the Communist secret police (SB) during the time of the People’s Republic of Poland, speaks to niezalezna.pl about the overthrow of Jan Olszewski’s government in 1992.

Andrzej Duda won the second round of the 2015 Polish presidential election in the U.S. The President-Elect received decisively more votes than Bronisław Komorowski across all four Polish Consular Districts in the U.S. The data released by the Polish consulates in the U.S. reveals that Andrzej Duda received 18,583 votes, whereas Komorowski managed to garner support from only 4,392 voters. Out of 22 poling districts, Komorowski found support only in the districts of Washington and San Francisco. The number of votes cast during the first round of elections, also won by the Law and Justice (Prawo i Sprawiedliwosc, abbr. PiS) candidate, was 19,000, whereas the valid votes in the second round totaled 22,975.

Agencja Bezpieczenstwa Wewnetrznego - Polish Internal Security Agency.

Maciej Sankowski’s analysis of the ABW (Polish Internal Security Agency) 2014 report, published on Defence24 website, reveals that Russian intelligence has made a wide-scale attempt to consolidate its pro-Russian assets in Poland. Mr. Sankowski says, that unfortunately, the ABW 2014 report has not attracted the media attention it deserves. “There is no doubt that this specific report is the most unambiguous, powerful, and at the same time, the most interesting of all the ABW’s annual reports published thus far,” emphasizes Sankowski

An independent report reveals that staff at the polling station mixed up candidates’ ballots, which were then counted as votes for the incumbent candidate Bronisław Komorowski’s. The foregoing is only one of many allegations in the report prepared by a 60-person group of foreign journalists who observed the 2015 Polish presidential elections.

Bronisław Komorowski’s biography is full of bewildering holes, unknowns, and conundrums, all of which begs the question: Who really is this man, and where did he come from? What we know for sure is that he is now vying for a second term as the President of Poland. As I will explain later, Komorowski’s political career gained momentum after a series of incidents, which should have by all estimates, ended his career in scandal.

Will Komorowski and his party impose martial law?

Should it be assumed, that the current electoral statements, so reminiscent of the communist empty slogans, such as “Zgoda buduje” (in Polish: peace is constructive), are suggested to Mr. Komorowski by someone? After all, his closest team of advisors is full of post-communists who would be expected to come up with “peace and security” and the threat of marginalization to those who oppose them.

Polish President mentioned in American intelligence service cables

Recently WikiLeaks published American cables regarding Komorowski’s ties to WSI (Polish KGB). Amongst the correspondences, there is a reference to Janusz Paluch’s shadow banking activities and hedge fund, an affair covered earlier by Gazeta Polska, which surfaced earlier in the report on verification of the WSI.

Election Time in Poland! Who will Putin vote for?

There is one more good reason for Putin to support the current president. In the coming weeks, he will be able to arrange a series of provocations in order for the Ukrainian conflict to escalate tentions in Poland. In my imagination, I can just picture Komorowski, Kopacz and Polish media alarming against the opposition party PiS (the Law and Justice Party of Late President Lech Kaczynski), a party which undoubtedly would lead us to war with Russia.

Ukraine just like home for the Russian FSB

For over two decades, the Russian intelligence services felt just at home on the Ukrainian soil. The FSB (the Russian Federal Security Service) went as far as developing its own structure in Russia’s neighbour country. “For authorities in Kiev eliminating such a creation is a task even more important than defending Donbass,” states “Gazeta Polska.”

Cyberattacks on Polish institutions in 2014 were at all-time high according to the Polish Computer Emergency Response Group (CERT.GOV.PL). Attacks were detected on the stock market, the National Election Bureau, the websites of the president and government administration. More recently, the phenomenon of internet trolling and the so-called deployment of “useful idiots” by Russia have been noted by CERT. These latest activities represents elements of a hybrid warfare.

Poland is a big barrel of the black powder.

“If our Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz doesn’t explain her links, the Polish politics will experience a scandal as big as the Watergate,” announced Przemysław Wipler during the press conference in the Polish Parliament called to address the direct involvement of Ewa Kopacz, Kamiński and officials from the Polish Prime Minister Office in the campaign against SKOK - Polish credit union. Mr Wipler, a member of the Polish Parliament, questioned Mrs Kopacz about SKOK, claiming that the information he obtained from one of her former associates, would put the SKOK issue in a new light.

The strikes by many different social and professional groups, starting from coal miners, farmworkers to musicians, and also the launching of the presidential campaign by Andrzej Duda (PIS –“Prawo i Sprawiedliwość” opposition party) and Bronisław Komorowski ( PO - “Platforma Obywatelska” ruling party) were the topics that dominated TV program called “Bliżej” (Closer), on February 12, 2015, hosted by Jan Pospieszalski .

”EU is divided with regards to sanctions on Russia, with some members willing to have them softened,” informed Rafał Trzaskowski, Poland’s Secretary for European Affairs, after a meeting of 28 EU member states in Brussels.

Kremlin's Troll Factory: I-Love-Putin-for-Money

“They offer an attractive salary, and hire those who do not ask questions.” This is how the Kremlin’s Trolls are hired. A Radio Svoboda journalist managed to locate one of the former employees of the so-called “Ministry of Truth” that carries out this all-out “Cyber War” on behalf of the Kremlin.

Lech Kaczynski and other European Leaders in Tibilisi Georgia, during the Soviet invasion.

We can continue to ignore “an elephant in the room” or we can boldly face what is rapidly unfolding behind Poland’s eastern border with potential grave consequences for the country and the entire Europe. A few recent articles discussing the matter of Poland’s national security represent just a tip of the iceberg in terms of concerns voiced recently by many experts.

Poland’s State Forests and the fate of the country’s agricultural land came into view due to recent late-night attempts to change the Polish Constitution. Hence, those subjects require our full attention since they threaten strategic national interests of Poland. In that context, an effort undertaken by the Polish citizens protesting such policies shall be recognized.

What’s Hiding in Foreign Bank Accounts, Or How You “Distribute” A Million Dollars

Some of the money appearing on Lejb Fogelman’s Swiss bank account statement came—according to Katowice detectives—from bribes paid by the SairGroup consortium for the privatization of PLL LOT, the Polish Airline. The attorney was interrogated in the capacity of a witness—reports Gazeta Polska.

On December 12, 2014, investigative journalists Anita Gargas and Cezary Gmyz in a TV program “Zadanie Specjalne” revealed tapes and texts messages exchanged between the Supreme Court Judge H. Pietrzykowski and Supreme Administrative Court Judge B. Moraczewski negotiating over a case on the docket.

The Jewish newspaper has committed abominable manipulation. "Checking on the Polish guilt in the Holocaust" is the title of an article published in the "The Jewish Voice" newspaper.

"Political speech is for the lies to sound true, for stupid faces to look respectable, and the wind to have the appearance of solid matter," Orwell mocked. What was the television network TVN doing?

According to the 2015 survey by Bibioteka Narodowa, only 41 percent of the people in Poland read at least one book in 2014. As much as 19 million people did not have any book in their hands while 10 million does not have a single book at their home.

Germany takes over local media market in Poland.

By reading Polish news articles in print and online with no critical eye, you are thinking the way that Germans want you to think. This is because 80% of Polish-language media is German-owned.

Joanna and Andrzej Gwiazda on Walesa: History proved us right!

Wałęsa broke off his collaboration with them but there is a record that in March 1976 he was removed from their records.

Andrzej Gwiazda: “There is no record in the communist security “SB” archives that Wałęsa broke off his collaboration with them but...

IN SUPPORT OF THE POLISH AMBASSADOR TO IRELAND by Stefan Komar

When I read that: "... Deripaska HAS BUILT an aluminum, energy and industrial empire from assets privatized after the collapse of the USSR," I laugh like a mink.

Recently, the only Polish born member of the British parliament was attacked for attending a National Conservatism conference in Rome that, amongst other agenda items, paid tribute to Polish Pope John Paul II for his role in bringing down Communism in Eastern Europe.

We are experiencing a period of increased interest in the matter of the extermination of Jews during World War II with increased accusation of Poles for participating in this extermination. The foundation for these slanders is based on a premise that we will remain silent about how the German occupation in Poland differed from the German occupation in other countries.

"Israel is pursuing a global policy that Russia needs, not only in the context of the conflict with Iran. The anti-Polish campaign can be beneficial to both Russia and Israel because let's not forget that the famed Fort Trump has not even begun to be built in Poland. Russia will do anything to make sure it will not be built. And it would be also much easier for Jewish communities to collect money from a nation viewed to be the perpetrators of the Holocaust."

The idea of a free Catholic Poland from before the partitions of the eighteen century has been always dangerous for our neighbors, Germany and Russia. Over the centuries of struggle with us, Germany and Russia developed a mechanism of replacing the Polish elites by murdering Polish heroes and introducing corrupt and obedient people into every branch of political and social life in Poland.

As the son of a member of the Polish Underground unit Zoska that was acknowledged by Yad Vashem for saving 350 Jews during the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, I take umbrage at the letters by Alan Shatter and Oliver Sears published in the Irish Times on October 4th of 2019. Both were filled with historical misrepresentations and anti-Polish hostility.

The centenary commemorating the regaining of Poland’s independence calls for the use of reference to historical sources and analysis of events over the last 100 years.

The old model of “bourgeois terrible,” such as the one from a poem by Julian Tuwim, from a novel by Maupassant, or from Balzac, can be characterized by the words of our poet: "They look to the left, they look at the right - and while looking - they see everything separately" (J. Tuwim, poem "Residents" from the volume "Gypsy Bible").

During the September campaign, there were many acts of sabotage organized by the Germans,

During the September 1939 attack on Poland, there were many acts of sabotage organized by the Germans, in particular in the areas controlled by the Polish Army with large clusters of the German minority.

In 1943 the Germans discovered Katyn mass graves.

In 2011, a Lithuanian minister was expelled from the conference on the Holocaust in response to the Lithuanian investigation against the survivor of the Holocaust.

And so, it will remain that way. From that terrible April morning, when the news went around the world about the crash of the plane, about the death of the Polish President and the Elite of the Polish Nation, when, for the second time, there, on that land where bloody dew still drips from the trees - the Polish heart broke - I am no longer alone ... neither the same ...

The father of former President of Poland Aleksander Kwaśniewski was a Russian Jew in the rank of colonel of the NKVD, who right after WWII was "incarnated" into becoming the Pole in order to organize supervision of the Security Bureau (“UB”) over the Polish population in the areas of Western and Northern Pomerania.

The Justice for Uncompensated Survivors Today Act, S. 447, passed the Senate on December 12, 2017 and became law on May 9, 2018 - Public Law 150-171. This Bill viloates US Constitution, law of the United States, and international treaty. It is discriminatory and distorts history.

In 1943 the Germans discovered Katyn mass graves. That is when they realized that years after the murder, the victims and the method of their extermination can be identified based on these buttons, medallions, letters, coats, straps, etc. That is why they did not repeat the Soviet mistake - says movie director Anna Piasek-Bosacka..

true democracy and pluralism are being finally restored in Poland after 80 years of domination and communist control of Poland.

It is only now - under the government of the Law and Justice Party - that true democracy and pluralism are being finally restored in Poland after 80 years of domination and communist control of Poland.

Watching TVN24 is obviously masochism. I must admit that from time to time I check what is the "truth of the day" for the current 24 hour news cycle there. I discover lies every time. On December 1, 2018, experiencing tortures (as I am not a masochist), I survived the program showing the last flight of Tu-154M. Escape forward? Before announcing soon of the final report of the "Macierewicz's Commission"?

Here in England, they could not understand when I told them what is really wrong with democracy today, so I told them this story

Imagine that during World War II, the Russians secretly murdered several dozens of thousands of your officers, prisoners-of-war. They hid it, lied about it, did not admit the guilt, persecuted those who demanded the truth, and blamed the Germans for this crime. Years later, the truth comes to light, and the Queen along with the entire General Staff, the head of the Bank of England, heads of the most important state institutions and Archbishop of Canterbury, all fly on the 70th anniversary of this crime to Russia to commemorate the murder of the British officers, POWs.

A novelist X creates a doll representing PiS Member of Parliament. She sticks the needle in the doll – believing that this will cause pain to the person? A novelist Y states that the ruling party reduced the brains of the Polish people, though not much brain remains in those Slavic skulls… Writer Z moves from words to actions and tries to beat up this "PIS rabble," of course portraying herself as a victim. This is just the last segment of the alphabet of intellectual quasi celebrities, who feed themselves – and their popularity – on a hatred towards others, "foreigners."

Book Review - Holocaust and Halakhah (the Library of Jewish law and ethics)

This work is centered on the Kovno ghetto in German-occupied Lithuania. The persecuted Jews had especially sought the advice of the highly regarded and scholarly Rabbi Ephraim Oshry (1914-2003). Rabbi Oshry ended up being one of the few leading Eastern-European rabbis who survived the German-made Holocaust.

This way, a 20-year process ends, which is a disrepute of the Polish justice system, a stain and a failure of the entire idea of judicial lustration.

The circumstances of the noble behavior of the Polish officials abroad, which saved thousands of Jews in World War II through its diplomatic office in Switzerland, have recently come to light. The matter became loud - the largest media wrote about it. But Benjamin Netanyahu disposed of this matter with silence, even though he had a great opportunity to thank Poland. Instead nice words of thanks came towards Paraguay.

Today, May 30, 2018, the Polish court dismissed the lustration proceedings in the case of Leszek Moczulski, after he withdrew his application for autolustration. Moczulski was absent from court, he was in the hospital waiting for the next operation.

Impunity of Former President of Poland Bronislaw Komorowski.

The head of the Israeli state archives, retiring Yaakov Lazovik, revealed in the center-left "Ha'aretz" that the Jewish state deliberately prevents historical research on the dark pages of its history by blocking access to archives. "It is unworthy of a democratic state," said Lazovik

On December 12, 2017, US Senate passed the Justice for Uncompensated Survivors Today Act of 2017, S. 447. A related House Bill H.R.1226 was introduced in the US House of Representatives on February 27, 2017 and is now before the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives.

His name was Romuald Szeremietiew. He was a Deputy Defense Minister and close friend of former President of Poland Bronisław Komorowski.

Dorota Kania discussed the Russian intelligence

In “The End of the System” shown on TV Republika, Dorota Kania discussed Russian intelligence operations, Kremlin propaganda in Poland, and the role of the media that are part in this offensive.

Tusk’s interventions into Polish matters are far from coincidental. His strikes are carefully thought through, to do as much harm as possible and cause serious trouble for the government.

German Axel Springer publishing house demonstrated its attitude towards freedom of speech by firing a popular reporter of daily Die Welt who was dismissed after he dared to question the policy of accepting an unlimited number of refugees.

It is not commonly known that Russia together with Germany strategically placed the first two Nord Stream pipes on the bed of the Baltic Sea, so that ships with draft of more than 13.5 meters

It is not commonly known that Germany and Russia strategically placed the first two Nord Stream pipes on the bed of the Baltic Sea in such a way that ships with draft of more than 13.5 meters, such as deep-sea container ships, would not be able to enter Polish seaports in Świnoujście and Szczecin.

The Polish Center is one of 22 of NATO centers providing such training. Last year, Mariusz Marasek was designated as the Commissioner of the Center by the Polish Ministry of Defense (MON).

As reported by niezalezna.pl, the Expert Center for Counterintelligence in Poland has been accredited by NATO. The Center’s will deliver programs to improve NATO counterintelligence, such as recognition and definition of new events and threats, and delivery of new training methods to deal with rare security threats.

Clearly, Maria Kiszczak (wife of a deceased communist dictator) must have followed her husband’s advice

I have to cite Zagłoba’s words: “Well, gentlemen, prophesies are on my side!” Clearly, Maria Kiszczak (wife of a deceased communist dictator) must have followed her husband’s advice, who – in his final hours – must have told her: “Maria, when I’m gone, you will no longer be protected, thus you need to dispose of this compromising evidence if you don’t want to end up like the Jaroszewicz couple. Remember that only disposing of it in the public eye will allow you to live in peace for the rest of your life.”

The head of the Prime Minister Chancellery Beata Kempa assessed that nothing shall justify incitement to violence.

Masa said that his criminal organization had links all over Poland in the 1990s.

“The Military Information Services (WSI) was the most powerful mafia in Poland. We, gangsters from Pruszków, needed its protection,” claims the key witness Jarosław Sokołowski, aka Masa, in his interview for Gazeta Polska.

The key to the Smolensk tragedy is in Poland, and this is difficult to everybody.

The key to the Smolensk tragedy lies in Poland, and this is difficult to everybody. Clearly it was a coup, but what kind of a coup?

What’s important here is the definition of a coup.

We are not alone when it come to the rebellion of the losing elites. What the US is experiencing right now is almost identical to the scenario that unfolded in Poland after the 2015 elections. As the United States is the world power, the scale of this phenomenon is larger.

The Left in the media immediately began to build the „people’s front of resistance,” attempting to encompass as many areas as possible.

The presidential campaign is now over in the USA but it is still worth observing the events in Washington. First, because it is obviously very important for the future of Poland, as our security to a considerable degree depends on American foreign policy. Another reason is cognitive in nature – we can observe what kind of methods are used by the rejected elites and their media to fight against the new administration.

Arestowicz argues that Russia will threaten Ukraine with war not only at two fronts (Eastern and Southern) but simultaneously at three. Ukraine would have to move some of their troops in the direction of Belarus.

Diplomatic pressure has been successful! One of the oldest Polish museums abroad, in Swiss Rapperswil, will remain for now in its historic location where it is currently housed.

We just protested against the scandalous statements appearing in German press. We just reported that even in some of German state museums the expression „Polish extermination camps” is used. Unfortunately today, German-speaking media are at it again, smearing Poland and the Polish people again.

Military expert Aleksey Arestowicz wrote on his Facebook profile: „When everyone calmly awaited some sort of dirty trick on the part of Kremlin in one of the Baltic States or in Odessa, Putin found an easy and elegant solution – seizure of Belarus”! It is going to happen during the military maneuvers „West (Zapad) – 2017” in Belarus, that will commence in the summer of this year.

The Counterbalance to Brussels is developing in Central Europe,” said Jarosław Kaczyński

Joining the Councinl of European Center of Solidarity (“ECS”) legitimizes this institution. Thus, it might be more harmful to jon now than to wait one more year, until Adamowicz stops being the President of the City of Gdańsk. I have to add that Lech Wałęsa’s foundation is a part of ECS. This proves that the founding act of ECS should be changed, said Andrzej Gwiazda, the legendary Solidarity opposition activist.

There is a serious indication that a significant counterbalance to Brussels is developing in Central-Eastern Europe - said Chairman of the governing Law and Justice (PIS) party, Jarosław Kaczyński, in his interview with the Hungarian weekly Heti Valasz.

A Crime Against Poland Has Been Committed

“There is a strong probability that the Code of Conduct for MPs has been violated on numerous occasions during the Sejm sessions, and crimes against the Polish State and its government institutions have been committed,” states a legal opinion issued by the Sejm Analysis Bureau regarding the MPs conduct during the Sejm’s 33rd session on December 16, 2016, and thereafter.

The propaganda of an alleged coup d’état by a democratically elected PIS government revealed two truths: The first truth is that the PO-PSL coalition that lost elections de facto served as an occupation government in "a theoretical State," primarily satisfying the interests of Berlin and Brussels. The second truth is that it was the PO-PSL coalition that attempted the coup d’état on the PIS government.

The Minister of Defense Antoni Macierewicz announced that the priority of his office is the July 2016 NATO summit in Warsaw, which will decide the question of the possibility of establishing military bases in Poland and the permanent presence of NATO troops in the country. The summit in Warsaw will decide whether Poland is a normal, equal member of NATO, whether the same rules apply to Poland that already apply to Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries, or whether we are treated as a second-class country.

We are witnessing a total denial of the results of the latest parliamentary elections by the prior ruling coalition of PO (Civic Platform), PSL (Polish Peasants’ Party) and post- communists, who, having ruled for the last 8 years, cannot accept that the Poles no longer want their rule, the rule filled with numerous scandals, corruption, arrogance, and damaging actions for Poland and the Poles, our tradition, culture and economy.

“It is incomprehensible that Polish people’s status in Germany is still regulated by Nazi Germany’s rules,” says Minister Dziedziczak

“As any state, we want to look after our interests and present our own position. Certain countries might wish for the comeback of Polish politicians who used to nod in agreement and acquiesce to their orders. However, Poland’s new government puts a stop to the era of acquiescence of Poland,” said Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs Jan Dziedziczak.

Poles elected a Jew as the President, Aleksander Kwasniewski, and another as the Foreign minister, Bronislaw Geremek. Yet, the journalist Zacharia of CNN says Poland is anti-Semitic. Antoni Macierewicz, current Polish Minister of National Defense, is dedicated to strengthening the Polish Armed Forces, and for forty five years has been a declared and proven friend and ally of the United States. Again, the journalist, Fareed Zacharia of CNN says Poland is not a trustworthy ally in NATO.

Classified documents, seals, signed in blanco receipts and settlements of payment accounts of a top secret operational fund were all found in several safe deposit boxes under the control of the now-ousted heads of the NATO Expert Counterintelligence Center (CEK NATO), by a commission established to control the documentation at the Center. In addition, orders recalling Col. Piotr Pytel and Col. Krzysztof Dusza from their posts were also found there. This means that both individuals were fully aware of what was going on and by refusing to obey their superiors’ orders, committed a serious offense.

Some Polish media, the so-called "moral authorities on duty", and opposition politicians proclaim every day that democracy in Poland is threatened. What kind of threat do they worry about?

As you can see, we are dealing with a raging propaganda campaign on a massive scale, which is aimed at blocking any changes in Poland. Under the guise of defense of democracy, in fact the war in defense of corruption is being waged. Because what is proposed by PIS represents a great threat to powerful entrenched interests.

A popular journalist in communist-era Poland is sounding the alarm that the new PiS government is destroying public media, and a "witch-hunt" has begun in Polish Public Television, TVP. It is the irony of history that the complaining journalist himself was on the Stefan Kisielewski list of regime journalists during the communist era. Also, his name was one of the 64 names of secret collaborators (read: sniches) and officers of the communist-era Military Intelligence Services (WSI).

Who Defends Polish Democracy with German Money?

A reporter attacking PiS (Polish Law and Justice Party) in a German weekly, or an institution praising Muslim immigrants to the Polish public, or the largest commercial Polish radio station, or a foundation organizing an anti-PiS rally of reading the constitution with the Constitutional Tribunal judges, or a former PO (Civic Platform) Minister of Defense. What do they all have in common? Funding from Berlin.

The Gazeta Wyborcza has been and still remains the main point of reference on today’s Poland. While it remains an influential newspaper indeed, it is also a killer of free discussion in our country. It has been destroying, and still destroys, decent people. It has been promoting, and still promotes, skewed vision of history that is detrimental to Poland’s image and reputation in the world.

"Stefan! Will ya stop frightening me with this PiS already?" - A Polish political cartoon.

The Glorious Revolution, also called the Revolution of 1688, refers to the peaceful overthrow of King James II of England, by a union of English Parliamentarians with the Dutch stadtholder William of Orange. This was a bloodless revolution in the United Kingdom then, and had sweeping impacts on that country and the era. So it shall be for Poland and Eastern Europe in my view.

Without exception, all Polish Independence Day marches have been peaceful and dignified. I still recall the endless crowd, consisting of elderly people, teenagers, as well as children, walking through Aleje Ujazdowskie in dignified silence, carrying the white-red flags and patriotic banners back in 2012. Those people were not aware that on a parallel street, a media circus was taking place, which involved using batons, pepper sprays and water cannons.

Lech Wałęsa transported to the Shipyard by a motorboat that belonged to the communist regime authorities? ABW has the recording.

The ABW (Polish Internal Security Agency) is in possession of a recorded conversation between the officers of WSI (Polish communist Military Information Services) who talk about Lech Wałęsa being transported to the Gdańsk Shipyard on the day of the August 1980 strike.

Sejm Chancellery crushes Newsweek attack on President Duda.

“I hope that the President will justify his expenses,” Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, Marshal of the Sejm, said after Newsweek suggested that Andrzej Duda fraudulently used public money for private business.

Tusk and Applebaum caught red handed propping bias against president Andrzej Duda.

Eastern and Central European countries are deeply concerned over the recent military and political acts of aggression by Russia towards its European neighbors. The region is alarmed by the violations of territorial integrity of the sovereign states and the impudence of the information warfare conducted by Russia worldwide.

Adam Bielan has been exposing the current government’s efforts in discrediting Andrzej Duda in the eyes of public opinion in Europe. Among those caught up in this campaign are Donald Tusk, President of the European Council and Anne Applebaum, the influential international journalist and a wife of Radosław Sikorski.

The key element of control is to divert public attention from important issues - says Pawel Kukiz.

Paweł Kukiz decided to warn the nation against techniques of a governmental manipulation. He mentions among others: talking down to people, distracting them, and appealing to their emotions rather than reason.

German investigative journalist, Jurgen Roth.

"Profound changes can be implemented only within the first few months of the post-election period. Later, the newly elected officials become preoccupied by the ever present and powerful bureaucracy and implementation of changes becomes more and more painful," wrote Bronisław Wildstein in his essay published by the weekly wSieci.

It’s been a month since the first news about the book by a German journalist, Jürgen Roth, emerged. From the very beginning the Polish media attention focused on a German report, according to which, both Polish and Russian sources provided information to a BND (German intelligence agency) officer that the Smolensk crash was in fact an assassination with the use of explosives, carried out by the FSB (the Russian Federal Security Service) and allegedly ordered by a high official of the Polish government.

Germany and Russia are not driven to empower Central Europe. They want to dominate Poland.

Who could forget Putin’s 2009 speech at Westerplatte in commemorating WWII?

In it, he emphasized that Europe must remember the victims and said: “Without fully understanding what had taken place we would never be able to build a safe world.” He added that, “German-Russian relations founded on a partnership and cooperation rather than historical quarrels are the key to healthy agreements.” What can we infer from Putin’s remarks back in 2009? read more

Forgotten Genocide, Poland, Russia, Putin and III World War.

Professor Ivanov is a Russian historian and authority on the fate of Polish minorities in the Soviet Union, and the author of the book Forgotten Genocide (Zapomniane Ludobójstwo). Prof. Ivanov was the first scholar to seriously examine the events of the Operation Polska [eng. Operation Poland], as a result of which the Soviet Union murdered about 200,000 Poles in 1937-1938.

The upcoming 2015 presidential and parliamentary elections will be decisive in what direction we want to take Poland. The stakes are clearly high, more so than in any other previous election.

100 Days of Embarrassment: 100 days after the regional elections in Poland.

100 days since the 2014 regional elections has come and gone. However the National Electoral Commission (NEC) still has not posted on its website the full results of the vote.

Putin is not going to order his armoured division to attack the Baltic State until he is absolutely sure that NATO has disintegrated.

In February 2015, the Polish government announced (1) that it was working on a project of recovery for Silesia and Małopolska following the aftermath of the ongoing restructuring of the mining industry. On April 22nd, 2015, such program is to be presented to representatives of the European Commission during the European Economic Congress in Katowice.

This report focuses on the comparative analysis of the election results obtained by the Ipsos Research Center with the results announced by the NEC, with the hope that it will provide a better understanding and insights into the fraud that took place during the Regional Elections in Poland of November 16, 2014.
