November 11th is a historic day for Poland - on this day we celebrate the regaining of independence. But for some time now, this day has not been a happy time for us, to unite in the common thought of being a free country.

This year, Poles have heard that Poland is at war with Germany, Russia and the European Union.

Robert Bąkiewicz is, as wp.pl writes: He is the one who leads the Independence March in Warsaw. Robert Bąkiewicz is a controversial figure. Emotional states, which he displays in public, are anger (at the leftism), hatred (towards enemies of the homeland), contempt (towards those who think differently).

But do we call what is happening in the streets of Warsaw the march of independence? No. It is a march of so-called nationalists. It is vandalism and brutality, xenophobia and the dangerously fast spreading fascism of the 21st century. It is even more heartbreaking to see it happening here, in a country that has seen such incredible cruelty from "patriots" defenders of national values....

No one has been arrested at the Nationalist March this year (yet, it's November 13). This time no windows were broken, no shops were raided as last year, no one was beaten... or at least nothing is known about it. And the government considered it a success, a successful march and a sign that the nationalists are not something to worry about at all. But what really happened there?

Sylwia Chutnik:

"No, it was not peaceful: there was flag burning; portraits of specific people (Donald Tusk), anti-Semitic, racist and nationalist slogans were shouted and carried. The fact that nothing was smashed and no one was injured, and we are happy about that, only shows what standards we have in our heads.”

As Józef Piłsudski said: Naród wspaniały, tylko ludzie kurwy… - The nation is great, only the people are whores....

Here the last straw: https://twitter.com/PawelT_PL/status/1458770642984222728?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1458770642984222728%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwarszawa.wyborcza.pl%2Fwarszawa%2F145442027792293marsz-niepodleglosci-2021-pochod-narodowcow-jako-swieto.html

Translation: I hope that this margin does not impinge on the rest of the marchers.

It's sad that some people under the guise of patriotism do things like this...

News from Polish borders …

„Ladies and Gentlemen,

Please find below an open letter from four winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature - Svetlana Alexievich, Elfriede Jelinek, Herta Müller and Olga Tokarczuk - addressed to the European Council and the European Parliament and concerning the humanitarian disaster that is taking place on the eastern border of the European Union (the border between Poland and Belarus). Please distribute it to the addressees.

To the President of the European Council

Charles Michel

To the President of the European Parliament

David Sassoli

To the Members of the European Parliament

The Polish government has introduced a state of emergency within the border zone between Poland and Belarus, on the strength of which no medical aid is being allowed in to help those who are sick and dying on the border, and blocks media access to the tragedy that is unfolding there. However, even the incomplete, fragmentary information that is coming through provides insight into the vast scale of the humanitarian disaster that is taking place on the border of the European Union: we know that the people there are being subjected to a merciless push-back procedure, condemning them to hypothermia, starvation and exhaustion in forests and marshes.

Belarusian travel agencies controlled by the Lukashenka regime are promising desperate people transit into the European Union in exchange for a high fee. Lured by this means to Minsk, they are then taken by organised transportation to the forests on the border. There an attempt is made to push them into Poland by force, while the Polish border guards and troops also use force to turn them back into Belarus. In the worst cases this ends in death. Some of the people who have died are known to us by name, others are dying anonymously.

As citizens and residents of the European Union we appeal to you as Europe’s democratically elected representatives – let us not avert our gaze from this tragedy.

We must be aware of the fact that these people are being exploited as hostages. These hellish practices will go down in history as an example of modern-day atrocities. Too often in the history of Europe we have allowed ourselves to remain in ignorance. We have closed our eyes and covered our ears. We have kept silent. Following the experiences of the twentieth century we know that uncomfortable, tiresome truths exist. To protect their own sense of well-being, the majority of people refused to take notice of them. Today the situation is being repeated.

For us the European Union is above all a moral community that goes beyond all borders, based on the principles of interpersonal solidarity. This gives us the right to appeal to you to take an unambiguous stance with regard to this matter. We realize that it is not easy to deal with the pressure of despair on the borders of Europe. However, what we are allowing to take place on those borders is not in line with our fundamental European values.

We are appealing for the fastest and most effective solution to this humanitarian crisis, for observation of the rules of the Geneva Convention, and above all for an asylum procedure to be initiated for all those asking for it, and who are being detained in this part of the eastern border of the European Union.

We demand a wide-ranging diplomatic initiative within the countries of the Middle East aimed at opposing the false narrative of the Belarusian regime, the purpose of which is to lure as many desperate refugees as possible to the Poland-Belarus border, and by doing so to exacerbate and destabilise the political situation in Poland and throughout the European Union.

Above all we appeal for humanitarian organisations to be allowed into the border zone to provide medical and legal assistance.

We also demand access for accredited journalists and representatives of the media into the areas of the border zone that are covered by the state of emergency, an essential requirement for presenting complete and truthful information to the general public.

Today we are feeling painfully helpless, but knowing the facts means being aware of the evil that is being perpetrated. Knowledge of this kind should be followed by action.

Wake up.

We are in danger!

Kaja Godek, the Polish anti-abortion activist who led to the abortion ban (successively) in Poland has now launched another attack on the LGBT+ community.  Her "Stop LGBT" initiative has just made it into the parliament and... it is not colourful.

  The initiative aims to stop "homosexual propaganda in public space".

This woman, who speaks openly about her disgust for non-hetero and non-cisgender people, is being considered by the government for some reason. Her hurtful words and actions are ignored and even accepted. If nobody does anything, nobody stands up to her, what kind of Poland can we expect?

The law under her bill would ban LGBT+ gatherings. It will ban sex education.

Kasprzak also said that the bill was drafted as "an expression of concern for Polish families and children, an expression of respect for the Polish Constitution, in particular article 18." He added: "The long-term goal of the LBGT lobby is to destroy marriage and family and any natural social order" and compared the LGBT+ community to communist and Nazi movements/ideologies.

Today, 10.10.21, demonstrations took place in nearly 126 cities to announce to the government and to the whole of Europe that we, the polish people, do not want to leave the EU and do not agree with the slogans of PiS (Law and Justice- Prawo i Sprawiedliwość - the governing party in Poland).

"We stay in the EU" was the pro-EU demonstration that was the most numerous in Warsaw. Donald Tusk said there: we want an independent, European, law-abiding, democratic and honest Poland.

Those in power are trying to create a narrative that Polish law, which is not determined by the constitution but by their words, is to be above European law. They are creating a narrative which assumes that the EU is Poland's enemy. WE DO NOT AGREE TO THIS.

We are fighting today for our freedom, for our dignity and for our future.

We need help from Brussels, from the Union, from our neighbours, who will hear us - Polish Europeans - above the words of arrogant rulers.

Not Polexit, but PiSexit.

Am I the only one?

Like - imagine. Man dies and his wife goes : I wanted to move to Japan FOR YEARS AND NOW YOU CANT SAY NO! LET’s get you on a plane and I will bury you something like 8078 kilometers away

The grave was a nice touch.
