Zinkiewicz: erstwhile the War?

In early September 1939, my father drove his wife and my later mother, from Warsaw abroad, to the property of his mother, and my grandma Sophia, where she lived with her children until the end of the war. For my mother, who lived there in excellent, even luxurious conditions, war was absolutely abstract!

Except my father, and her husband left his household due to the fact that he went to fight. He went to liberate Poland. After the war was over, my father, erstwhile he returned from the front, from Berlin, took his wife and his children back to Warsaw. Seeing the ruins of Warsaw has caused my parent a shocking impression. Nevertheless, she could never realize that the war my father actively participated in as a sniper destroyed him mentally and physically, that he had become a human wreck... On the another hand, her daughters – my sisters, raised in an unwarranted feeling (unless she experienced a large good during the war), in hatred of Sophia's grandmother...

To Gomulki

I compose about this due to the fact that in priceless, and frequently offensive comments about my last column, I see quite a few ambivalence, the adversities I have associated with this household history.

Commentators do not see that then post-war Poland did much good for their families, for Poles. They hatred her with the same passion as my mother, Grandma Sophia. In the column mentioned by me, during the Gomulkowski period, I was jealous of how my colleagues “for points” they received erstwhile submitting their studies papers for their fornal or lumpenproletarian background, were preferentially admitted to college. I was jealous of how mediocre villagers who came to work in Bielsko-Biała from distant forces in Poland received fresh apartments for free in a very short period. due to the fact that it was inscribed in the socialist political doctrine of the time, social-political changes...

People's Poland – more children

Currently, descendants of the beneficiaries of the Gomułkowski period compose about it
a historical period with extreme, unwarranted contempt. Ba! But with akin excitement they criticise the current capitalist regime, which their parents fought for – the turbo striker. A strategy with full spiritual freedom and a complete ban on abortion. With her penalization. Doesn't it seem unusual that more children were born in the “dark communist times” in People's Poland, with full access to abortion than in the hyper-democratic system? Full abortion ban. Comments made exposure the deficiency of simple cognition of their authors! Historical knowledge. essential to realize modernity. To realize why Poland is being pushed into a war going on behind our east border.

The American origins of the anti-war movement

I explained that during the war in Vietnam, under the regulation of 36 U.S. president Lyndon Johnson, the anti-war protest movement was formed (in the second half of the 1960s). It was later referred to as the hippie movement. His ideology was based on pacifism, which expressed the slogans make love, not war (do love, not war), nonviolence (no violence) and peace and love (peace and love).

All men are brothers, and the planet is large adequate to have area for everyone. My adversaries in their comments did not see it. My critics besides failed to see that many outstanding anti-war films were created in the United States at that time and later! In this 1979 masterpiece of planet cinematography – Apocalypse Time, directed Francis Ford Coppoli with an extraordinary musical setting by The Doors. With the vocalist Jim Morrison., occurring with Robby Krieger, John Densmor and keyboard Ray Manzarek Polish origin...

Anti-war moods in People's Poland

The anti-war protests mentioned in my erstwhile column during government Władysław Gomulka in Poland, with attempts to ridicule them by commentators – ignorant people, they do not endure the trial in the light of the prevailing anti-war protests in the then Americas (US and Canada) and Western Europe. They were besides joined by Poland under the leadership of Gomulka. The deficiency of this cognition in commentators proves that most likely, unlike me, they were not yet in the world. But it's besides a sign of specified laziness... For it was enough
Just take any problem and track their past online.

During the PRL period, government propaganda absolutely did not gotta exert itself. It was adequate to invest in culture from time to time and buy an anti-war movie from the US. The films of American production enjoyed a large audience in Polish cinemas and TV. The American anti-war cinematography has perfectly served the mythical propaganda officers hatched in the hot heads of my critics. Especially the 1 the owner wanted to canoe to flee to Bornholm. After all, it was adequate to book a journey with Orbis and get off at the nearest halt after crossing the Polish border. You would land in 1 of the western filter camps “for refugees from behind the iron curtain”.

Unwanted in the West

In Germany there was 1 in Zindorf, Austria Traiskirchen and Italy, whose location I no longer remember, for those who sought “freedom” by the Yugoslav Trieste. I assure you that the life of “runaways” in them was very difficult, due to the fact that these countries led (as opposed to contemporary Poland) a policy of hard deterring them. They did so by creating terrible surviving conditions for amateurs of freedom from the East.

For example, a friend of mine had reasonable reasons to leave Poland in extraordinary mode across the green border due to the fact that he was facing imprisonment (he was accused in the political process of “Culturists”). It was a judicial trial of smugglers banned from the Polish People's Republic of Poland, including the Parisian “Culture”, smuggled to Poland from the West and... smuggling refugees from Poland to the West. The smuggling taking place in the mountains of the Tatras, under the supervision of the experienced taverners, which he belonged to. He received political asylum in the West, and in the Polish People's Republic he received an eyewitness prison sentence. After a long time in the United States, he wrote a letter to the gene. Wojciech Jaruzelski asking for the chance to return to Poland. With a request for a ‘iron letter’ to prevent his arrest. After coming to Poland, looking for a job, he wrote a letter to the editor of the magazine for which I wrote. The editor-in-chief gave me his letter by handing over my assessment and possible assistance. I made contact with this man. As a consequence of talking to him, I decided to aid him. Consequently, I got him a occupation at 1 of the Polish universities. Work as an academic teacher. On this period in Poland, he served on retirement. Of course, I've talked to him a lot earlier, asked him about the reasons for his decision and about the “pleasants” of his life in the United States, which contributed to his return. In the United States, he just wasn't easy. He besides missed Poland very much.

Shame...

Ad rem. Why is Poland being forced into a war going on behind our east border? In the United States, as a consequence of anti-war protests related to the Vietnam War, a replacement war strategy was developed – war proxy. Replacement War (by proxy, percent) is simply a war fought in the territory of a country by 3rd parties utilizing local forces. A remarkable example of this is the war behind our east border...

In addition, our last message enfant terrible, the guy with the Mickey Mouse mentality
weighing after merchant, the price of Ukrainian and Yankee blood, embarrassed the office he held. Speech on the level of a duck in any African nineteenth-century bantustan. I am very ashamed as a Pole that there have been specified statements.

How much does Polish blood cost?

For us Poles it sounds very dangerous. Given the bold plans to defend the Warsaw government. buying for quite a few offensive weapons... due to the fact that if you can stand representatives of power on cynical – after merchant – treatment of “Ukrainian blood”, then what about our blood? Is she little valuable than the Yankees, too??? On the basis of the announced list of purchases of this weapon and its quantity, I have the irresistible impression that we are preparing for war. Hence my question, erstwhile was the war?

The Warsaw government does not take into account the experience of Ukrainian command, saying that their failures at the front in the war are due, among another things, to the disastrous method condition provided by the West of arms, that it is highly unreliable, inefficient. And in many cases it is an obsolete weapon, not suitable for a winning fight in a real fight against Russian modern armed forces. And forced tactics in the field of combat, invented by Western NATO-wish, strategists for fighting Ukrainians brings serious losses in people, destroying heroism bravely fighting Ukrainian soldier.

At present, Ukrainian commanders, frequently with careful military education gained from Russian military universities, depart from the imposed "Western NATO" standards, applying Russian tactics and strategy with good effect in the field of combat. Due to Ukraine's losses in surviving strength, the current change of strategy and tactics can barely change the battlefield. It can only somewhat hold the full defeat of Ukraine.
