Clinton Lobbies Polish Government For Resitution of Property Stolen During WWII
Posted by jewsforhillary on April 11, 2007
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton wrote to the Polish prime minister requesting that his country enact a restitution law for property confiscated during the Nazi and communist eras. Also signing the letter to Jaroslaw Kaczynski were members of the Helsinki Commission. Clinton (D-N.Y.) and the commission want the Polish government to ensure that properties obtained illegally will be returned or the owners will be properly compensated.
The signers welcomed statements by Polish government officials that they would work to pass legislation on the issue by the end of this year, but the commission expressed concerns that the victims have experienced numerous delays in their efforts to gain restitution.
Along with restitution or compensation, the commission’s recommendations in the letter to Kaczynski included keeping burdens for filing a claim to a minimum, consistent involvement of the central government and the return of artwork to its rightful owners.
“The delay in resolving the property claims of elderly survivors and their family members has gone on for too long,” Clinton said.
The Helsinki Commission is a U.S. government agency that monitors and encourages compliance with the agreements of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, as established by the Helsinki Accords. Thirty-five countries signed on to the accords in 1975. (JTA)

When will Germany return confiscated Polish property? When will the Germans pay restitutions for World War II crimes to Poland? Why should the Polish have to pay restitutions as a result when they supported the Jewish community when the rest of Europe and the world turned a blind eye?

What does that have to do with properties stolend or appropriated by Poland that was owned by jews?
Who is stopping Poland from asking the Germans to return what they may have stolen?
June 7, 2007 at 8:48 am
Poland didn’t steal anything from the Jews. The Jews in Poland were Polish citizens. Without heirs their property is passed to the state, just as is in the case of other citizens also in your coutnries.

Plenty of people returned to their respective homes after the war, only to be denied access.
June 13, 2007 at 11:19 am
Such cases should be decided by Polish courts… that would check if there is some substance in the claims. Otherwise it is pure ideology… and an attempt to plunder another country. It does not fit a nobel ideal of Jews I have (”Look there, a true Israelite, a man without an ounce of deceit in him.”
June 13, 2007 at 3:56 pm
Property, posessions, insurance claims, bank accounts, dead relatives, squatters in stolen homes…
Substance? ? ?

Does Hillary lobby for Jewish Americans only or Polish Americans as well? When the property was confiscated nobody asked if it belonged to Jewish or Christian owners. It is only in United States that people seperate Jews and non-Jews. To follow this logic, Steven Spielberg is a Jew but he is not an American. What passport does he use while traveling?
August 22, 2007 at 9:36 pm
Except that the Christians were not unwelcome by the poles after the war ended. The jews no longer had a home in Poland, where they had flourished for a thousand years.

Poland is still poor country and Poland will not pay any compensations to radical Israelis mostly living in US and had nothing to do with victims of the Holocaust in Poland during the second world war by German Army.
Most of them coming now to Poland did live in comfort in the US during the war and did not help the Jews in Poland or Poland in negotiations with Roosevelt and Churchill to put pressure during the war.
It took polish man Mr. Karski to come to US and give all the proof of the Holocaust to US President and the US Congress and unsuccessful attempt in Great Britain.
How you dare to get more money from Poland after you got over $100 billions from Germany and $10 Billions from Switzerland.
What about the Jewish collaborators with the communist Stalin in eastern part of Poland after the 1939 Russia aggression - eastern Poland.
Read the book of Jewish Prof. of History Norman Finkelstein accuses US Jewish institutions - in particular, the Jewish Claims Conference (JCC) - of extorting moneys in the name of “needy Holocaust survivors.” The Holocaust Industry .
September 20, 2007 at 9:17 pm
I don’t need to read Norman Finklestein, thanks. I’ve got my Polish grandparents firsthand accounts. Radical Israelis Living in the US? That’s a new one. “100 billions?” thats funny.
September 23, 2007 at 4:15 pm
Lech,
That is a very easy thing to say more than 60 years after the fact when so many of the surviving people with legitimate claims have died off.
By the way, Norman Finklestein is also a redical living in western comfort who wasnt there and had nothing to do with victims of the holocaust in poland.

“Righteous Among the Nations” More than 6,000 Poles have received the award.
Poland’s president on Wednesday plans to honor dozens of people who saved Jews during the Holocaust, including a posthumous distinction to the German officer who helped musician Wladyslaw Szpilman of The Pianist survive.
President Lech Kaczynski, who has long been an advocate of close relations with the Jewish community, was to lead a ceremony at the National Opera House in downtown Warsaw to honor individuals who risked their lives to save Jews during World War II. Many have already received the “Righteous Among the Nations” award from Israel.
“Honoring the ‘Righteous’ with (Polish) state distinctions pays homage to the unparalleled heroism of normal people, while setting an example for current and future generations,” a statement on the president’s Web site said.
The president’s office said that Wilm Hosenfeld, a German officer who helped save Szpilman, the Polish-Jewish musician whose story was chronicled in Roman Polanski’s Oscar winning film, The Pianist, will receive a posthumous award.
The Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial created the “Righteous Among the Nations” distinction as a way to honor people who saved Jews from the Holocaust. More than 6,000 Poles have received the award.

IN the summer of 2000 Prof. Norman Finkelstein (at that time Professor of political theory, City University of New York, Hunter College) published a book, The Holocaust Industry, which criticised the financial motives of those behind the then current exaggerated publicity campaign promoting Holocaust history and the use to which it was being put to extort money from a variety of wealthy victims including Swiss banks, European governments, factories, and other groups.
The world’s Jewish organisations started a concerted attempt to destroy Finkelstein’s academic reputation and legitimacy, and to pressure publishers not to print the book (even though they had signed contracts to do so), and newspaper, television and othere media outlets not to provide any publicity in the form of reviews or news stories. This is a small sample of the worldwide media coverage of the debate, which we provide entirely independently of Prof. Finkelstein.
November 30, 2007 at 8:14 am
lech–are you the collector for finkelstein? To say the Poles were tolerant of their fellow jewish polish citizens is utter nonsense.
December 10, 2007 at 3:10 am
Many people forget that is was not just the jews that were dispossesed. The polish aristocracy was destroyed during the Nazi and then communist occupation. Most are still waiting for the return of their estates or compensation.
December 12, 2007 at 6:28 am
so where are all the money Israel got from Germany, Switzerland, Austria and 80 billing UDS from America. why do you have to ask poor Poland? Poland lost over 3 millions of non jews. Just pay the money to the Holocaust sirvivers like Europe does.
Please do not ask any money from Poland.

Radio Maryja is NOT anti-Semetic!
The question of Radio Maryja in Poland is raised mostly by leftist groups, the post-communists,”. “These people are usually against the church and not Radio Maryja itself.”
Radio Maryja with community for over 4 millions poeple in Poland and all over the world.
15 years ago you began your work in humble conditions. Today Radio Maryja and your other enterprises have assumed large dimensions and are very important to the Church in Poland. The Radio is a sign of opposition. The media you have created proclaim the message, which is today important to the lives of millions.
But there are also opponents. Where do they come from?
- I think that they do not agree with what they hear. At the same time, they feel some threat to the present day monopoly to form public opinion according to their directions. We have played a different tune, different from the orchestras in which all people speak the same. Media were restricted to promote certain system of values in order to control people and to rule more easily. That was the case under the communist regime and the same can be applied to the liberal one. Media form people’s opinions and thinking the way their opponents want and this is done for money. In turn, those who have money can have media and power. This is some closed triangle. But out of a sudden, a radio station has appeared and it courageously opposes the opinions, and hence it is a treat to them.
There are almost 40 million people in Poland and perhaps some 20 million Polish immigrants all over the world. We face a great task: to strengthen all people in faith and love for their Homeland.
Radio Maryja is the biggest Catholic station in Poland. About 12 % of Poles listen to Radio Maryja (CBOS opinion poll in 2003), which means four million listeners. More people listen to it from time to time. One must notice that the polls do not embrace listeners abroad; via the satellite Radio Maryja reaches almost every corner of the world where Polish immigrants live. Radio Maryja is also one of the most opinion-forming stations in the country; it is quoted by other media.
I believe the American and European media owe an apology to the Polish people for printing articles in which the authors refer to them as being anti-Semitic. Such publications and articles contribute even more to the ever-present anti-Polonism in the American and European media

Half of These Holocaust Victims Were Non-Jewish.
On August 22, 1939, a few days before the official start of World War II, Hitler authorized his commanders, with these infamous words, to kill “without pity or mercy, all men, women, and children of Polish descent or language. Only in this way can we obtain the living space [lebensraum] we need”.
Heinrich Himmler echoed Hitler’s decree:
“All Poles will disappear from the world…. It is essential that the great German people should consider it as its major task to destroy all Poles.”
On September 1, 1939, Hitler invaded Poland from three directions. Hitler’s invincible troops attacked from the west, the north and the south. Poland never had a chance. By October 8, 1939, Polish Jews and non-Jews were stripped of all rights and, were subject to special legislation. Rationing, which allowed for only bare sustenance of food and medicine was quickly set up.
Young Polish men were forcibly drafted into the German army.
The Polish language was forbidden. Only the German language was allowed.
All secondary schools and colleges were closed.
The Polish press was liquidated. Libraries and bookshops were burned.
Polish art and culture were destroyed.
Polish churches and snyagogues were burned.
Most of the priests were arrested and sent to concentration camps.
Street signs were either destroyed or changed to new German names. Polish cities and towns were renamed in German.
Ruthless obliteration of all traces of Polish history and culture.
Hitler’s Goal: Terrorize Polish People Into Subservience.
Hundreds of Polish community leaders, mayors, local officials, priests, teachers, lawyers, judges, senators, doctors were executed in public.
Much of the rest of the so-called Intelligentsia, the Polish leading class, was sent to concentration camps where they later died.
The first mass execution of World War II took place in Wawer, a town near Warsaw, Poland on December 27, 1939 when 107 Polish non-Jewish men were taken from their homes in the middle of the night and shot.
This was just the beginning of the street roundups and mass executions that continued throughout the war.
At the same time, on the eastern border of Poland, the Soviet Union invaded and quickly conquered. Germany and the Soviet Union divided Poland in half. The western half, occupied by the Nazis, became a new German territory: “General Gouvernment”. The eastern half was incorporated within the adjoining Russian border by Soviet “elections”. This new border “realignment” conferred Soviet citizenship on its new Polish inhabitants. And all young Polish men were subject to being drafted into the Soviet army.
Just like the Nazis the Soviets also reigned terror in Poland. The Soviets took over Polish businesses, Polish factories and destroyed churches and religious buildings. The Polish currency (zloty) was removed from circulation. All Polish banks were closed and savings accounts were blocked.
During the period of the Holocaust of World War II, Poland lost:
45% of her doctors,
57% of her attorneys
40% of her professors,
30% of her technicians,
more than 18% of her clergy
most of her journalists.
Poland’s educated class was purposely targeted because the Nazis knew that this would make it easier to control the country.
Non-Jews of Polish descent suffered over 100,000 deaths at Auschwitz. The Germans forcibly deported approximately 2,000,000 Polish Gentiles into slave labor for the Third Reich. The Russians deported almost 1,700,000 Polish non-Jews to Siberia. Men, women and children were forced from their homes with no warning. Transferred in cattle cars in freezing weather, many died on the way. Polish children who possessed Aryan-looking characteristics were wrenched from their mother’s arms and placed in German homes to be raised as Germans.
The Polish people were classified by the Nazis according to their racial characteristics. The ones who appeared Aryan were deported to Lodz for further racial examination. Most of the others were sent to the Reich to work in slave labor camps. The rest were sent to Auschwitz to die. Polish Christians and Catholics were actually the first victims of the notorious German death camp. For the first 21 months after it began in 1940, Auschwitz was inhabited almost exclusively by Polish non-Jews. The first ethnic Pole died in June 1940 and the first Jew died in October 1942.
Because of the obliteration of the Polish press by the Nazis, most of the world was not aware, including many parts of Nazi-occupied Poland, of the atrocities going on. Even to this day, much documentation of the Holocaust is not available. The entire records of Auschwitz were stolen by the Soviets and not returned. It was Hitler’s goal to rewrite history.
The Nazis destroyed books, monuments, historical inscriptions. They began a forceful campaign of propaganda to convince the world of the inferiority and weakness of the Polish people and likewise, their invincible superiority and power.

VMFA TO RETURN PAINTING LOOTED BY NAZIS TO DESCENDANT OF RIGHTFUL POLISH OWNERS
Portrait of a Courtier, 16th century, by Jan Mostaert (Flemish, circa 1475-1555); oil on panel; 16-1/2 by 12-3/4 inches; Gift of Mrs. A. D. Williams. (Photo by Katherine Wetzel, © 2005 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts) The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts has determined that a painting that has been in its collection since 1949 was confiscated in 1941 from its rightful owners in Poland by Nazi forces.
VMFA’s trustees today voted to deaccession and transfer the painting to the Embassy of the Republic of Poland, which is acting on behalf of Adam Count Zamoyski, the representative of the rightful owners’ descendants. The painting will be deposited on behalf of the family in the Princes Czartoryski Museum in Krakow, Poland.
“VMFA has made the proper and fair decision in deaccessioning the painting and returning it to Poland,” says VMFA’s director, Dr. Michael Brand.
Dr. Boguslaw Winid, chargé d’affaires at the Polish Embassy in Washington, D.C., says, “We are extremely grateful to VMFA for its efforts to address the issue of looted and displaced works of art, conducted according to the highest standards of scholarship and in the spirit of upholding the principles of public trust, openness and transparency. The Polish government and art community perceive this decision as yet another important step in the process of reconstituting our national cultural heritage.”
The painting, by Flemish artist Jan Mostaert (circa 1475-1555), is a small 16th-century oil-on-panel portrait measuring 16½ by 12¾ inches. It was given to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts by Mrs. A. D. Williams of Richmond in 1949. Mrs. Williams died in 1950, and, following her husband’s death in 1952, the portrait was delivered to the museum. She had purchased the portrait in March of 1948 from Newhouse Galleries in New York.
and Portrait of a Courtier.
The painting is known to have had at least three distinct titles. Duc de Burgundy, Portrait of Charles VIII (Charles VIII, who also held the title Duke of Burgundy, ruled France from 1483 to 149
Mostaert was court painter to Margaret of Austria, Regent of the Netherlands, and is known to have made portraits of her courtiers. Many of his paintings were destroyed during the Great Fire of Haarlem in 1576, and little more is known of the details of his career.
The portrait is known to have been in the Czartoryski family collection in the Goluchów Castle Museum in Poland as early as 1890. The castle was built around 1650, but in the late 19th century the Czartoryski family re-envisioned it not only as a residence but also as a museum. The portrait is listed in an 1890 inventory of the museum and in Goluchów Castle Museum guidebooks published in 1913 and 1929. Nothing further is known about its provenance.
In 1939, aware that war loomed, Duchess Maria Ludwika Czatoryska transferred the portrait, along with 18 crates of the castle’s other most-valuable objects, to Warsaw, where they were hidden.
In 1941, the Nazis learned of the secret location of the Goluchów collection and confiscated it. In 1942, the portrait was catalogued and photographed by the Nazis. VMFA has fully examined the extensive documentation received from Polish archives and has compared the 1942 photograph to the painting now in its collection, and they match, according to Karen Daly, VMFA’s senior assistant registrar and administrator of Nazi-era provenance research.
Following the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, the painting was transferred by SS Obersturmführer Benno von Arent to the castle of Fischhorn in Austria. Nothing further is known of the portrait’s whereabouts until it surfaced in 1948 at Newhouse Galleries. A spokesman for the gallery has told VMFA researchers that it has no records regarding the painting. When the gallery sold the painting to Mrs. Williams, the provenance was indicated as “An important European Collection.”
In the late 1990s, VMFA began to intensively research works in its collections that had provenance gaps during the Nazi era. The renewed emphasis on the issue followed guidelines issued by the American Association of Museum in 1998 and the Association of Art Museum Directors in 2001.
As part of the museum’s ongoing Nazi-era provenance research project, VMFA staff researched the Mostaert painting in the fall of 2004 and subsequently found an entry on the Polish Embassy’s on-line catalogue of wartime losses that directly corresponded to the portrait. The on-line catalogue included a digital reproduction and description of the portrait, which it documented as having been missing since 1941.
VMFA wrote to the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in October of 2004 to inform officials there of its findings regarding the painting by Mostaert.
Charlotte Minor, president of the VMFA board, said, “The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts board of trustees appreciates the assistance of the Polish Embassy in the return of this painting to the Czartoryski family.”
The portrait is the second to be deaccessioned and returned to its rightful owners by VMFA. In May of 2004, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts board of trustees voted to deaccession a 16th-century French painting, “Portrait of Jean d’Albon,” and return it to the heirs of the late Austrian collector Julius Priester, from whom it is believed to have been stolen by the Gestapo in 1944.
VMFA, the World Affairs Council of Greater Richmond and the Virginia Holocaust Museum will present a panel discussion, Redressing History: Museums and the Nazi Legacy of Looted Art, on Oct. 6, 2005, at 6 pm in the VMFA auditorium. Admission is free, although tickets must be obtained in advance by telephoning 804.340.1405. Additional details on the panel discussion are available on the museum’s Web site at http://www.vmfa.state.va.us.

WARSAW — Poland’s new government is threatening to put the brakes on the Pentagon’s drive to build a missile defense shield in Eastern Europe, insisting that the project cannot go forward unless the country receives a big increase in U.S. military aid and other commitments.
Responding to surveys showing a large majority of Poles opposed to the defense plan, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said this month that his country is now in “no hurry” to sign a pact that would anchor a critical part of the U.S. missile shield on Polish soil. Poland’s previous government had stood firmly behind the project but was ousted by voters in October.
Poland’s reluctance is the latest headache for the Pentagon in its effort to construct a global defense shield, which it says is needed to protect against a missile attack from Iran or other “rogue states.”
Russia has blasted the proposal, arguing that it could threaten that country in the long run by giving the U.S. military a beachhead in Eastern Europe. Public misgivings also remain strong in the Czech Republic, where the United States wants to base a key radar installation, although officials in Prague have shown a greater willingness to come to terms.
This week, Polish Defense Minister Bogdan Klich met with top officials at the Pentagon and the State Department to inform them that Poland expects a commitment from Washington to help rebuild its air defense systems and provide other military assistance before it will agree to join the shield project. The Pentagon wants to place 10 missile interceptors in Poland that could shoot down a missile launched by Iran before it reaches Europe or the United States.
In an interview with reporters and editors at The Washington Post on Wednesday, Klich said that he had had “promising talks” with U.S. officials but that overall the negotiations remained “tough.”
He said that Poland would be exposing itself to risks if it agreed to host part of the shield — Russia has threatened to aim missiles at Poland in retaliation — and that it wants more American help in exchange. In particular, Poland wants Patriot missiles to bolster its aging air defenses as well as help modernizing its 140,000-member military.
“We would be glad to see another American proposal on how to balance these benefits and costs,” Klich said. “The Polish government at this time hasn’t seen the right, correct balance.”
Poland’s objections have prompted a flurry of diplomatic activity on both sides of the Atlantic. On Wednesday, Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Fried met in Warsaw with Poland’s foreign minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, and offered some soothing words. The two men also announced that Sikorski will visit Washington on Feb. 1 for further talks. Tusk, the prime minister, is expected to follow shortly afterward.
“We take Poland’s considerations very much into account,” Fried said. “Poland has made a sound case that the risk will increase, and we have to address this.”
In a brief interview after his meeting with Fried, Sikorski reiterated Poland’s stance that it was not in a rush to reach an agreement. “I’m glad there seems to be a greater sensitivity to our security needs,” he said. “But it’s a long-term project.”
Poland also appears less willing to accept the Pentagon’s primary rationale for the shield: that it will protect Europe, as well as the United States, from a potential Iranian attack.
After meeting with Czech officials in Prague on Wednesday, Air Force Lt. Gen. Henry A. Obering III, who oversees the shield program for the Pentagon, said Iran was rapidly developing long-range missiles that could reach Europe. “Currently, there’s no protection in Europe against the intermediate-range or long-range weapons,” he said.
But Polish officials said they don’t consider Iran a risk to attack them. They also questioned the urgency of the project even from the Pentagon’s perspective, citing a recent U.S. intelligence report’s conclusion that Iran gave up its nuclear arms program in 2003. “We all agree that the threat from Iran is not imminent,” Sikorski said.
Polish officials and analysts said part of the problem is that they feel taken for granted by the Bush administration. Warsaw is one of the United States’ strongest European allies and has contributed thousands of troops to the U.S.-led military coalitions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Poland’s new government decided last month to withdraw its remaining 900 soldiers in Iraq by this October. But it has pledged to send 400 more troops to Afghanistan, boosting its forces there to 1,600.
Many Polish firms had assumed they would be on an inside track for reconstruction contracts in Iraq, but that largely failed to happen. And lawmakers had hoped the United States would reciprocate in other ways, such as letting Poles visit the United States without visas — a privilege given to citizens of Western European countries.
“People expected here that there would be some gains and that we’d receive something tangible in exchange,” said Slawomir Debski, director of the Polish Institute of International Affairs. He said Polish leaders will not be able to win parliamentary approval for the missile shield unless Washington sweetens the deal.
“That is the difference with our new government,” Debski said. “They are ready to say no if there is no fair deal.”
Another factor hindering talks is the U.S. presidential election. Some Poles said they are reluctant for the country to commit to the missile shield if there is a chance that the next administration in Washington will mothball the whole project. Officials here said they are seeking a separate treaty that would formalize greater military cooperation between the two countries, regardless of who occupies the White House next year.
But the biggest sticking point appears to be Poland’s demand for U.S. aid to overhaul its own air defenses. Poland relies on Soviet-era hardware that officials say will become obsolete in several years, a major worry in a country that sees a resurgent Russia as its primary threat.
“Several years from now, we’ll be left with no air defense,” said Janusz Zemke, chairman of the national defense committee in the Polish Parliament. “This is not an invented problem. Without American assistance, we won’t be able to deal with it.”
Zemke said Pentagon officials have for years resisted Polish requests for help. “They say openly, ‘If we start helping you, then we’ll have to start helping the Hungarians and the Czechs and others,’ ” he said.
Geoff Morrell, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters that the Bush administration was hopeful that it could smooth things over with Poland. He also said Poland was already “the biggest beneficiary within Europe of defense aid” from the administration.
But his comment irritated lawmakers in Warsaw, who said the Pentagon was including expenses it covers for Polish troops to fight in Iraq. Officials said Poland currently receives about $28 million a year in U.S. military aid for projects at home.

i have absolutely nothing againced the jews..
but i dont like the fact that polish people have to pay for something they didnt do?
if it wasn’t for the poles… poland wouldnt be free.
and if poland wouldnt be free…
the jews would all be dead by now.
polska was right.
when will the germans pay the poles for what they did?
when will the russians?
the russians compleatly DESTROYED poland.
why doesnt clinton write a letter to their president?
we want our land back!

whe surviving jews tried to come back home to what was left of their houses or properties, who did they find squatting in what was once theirs…Germans or Poles???
February 13, 2008 at 3:23 am
War is a war, many lands were taken away from Poland which were integrated into Soviet Union thanks to Roosevelt’s deal with Stalin. How about giving homes back to Palestinians Jwsforhillary? I will be sure to vote against Her should she run. Where were they when it came to defending the mother land? Who should receive the land? Those who are still alive? Maybe they should and then they can write up a will and then sons and daughters can claim it. Otherwise I think it is bullshit.
February 13, 2008 at 5:32 am
I would like to add: Who will compensate for deaths of all the people who were murdered in many villages and towns because there was a good soul there hiding a jew for which entire villages and towns were burned and all who lived there killed. Will you Jews lobby to compensate for all the lives lost to save one or two jews? No, you do not care about that. You have your own country now, leave the rest of the world alone. You are nothing but trouble makers. If I were the president of Poland I would moon all of you jews making sick claims and ask you to kiss the dead center of my dirty arse.
February 13, 2008 at 5:42 am
Yeah Poles were there because it is their country and they fought for it, since jews were coming back from somewhere can you tell me where were they coming back from? Concentration camps? What ever, you are being pathetic and irrational. Hey I have an idea! Lets write a letter to President Putin and tell him that Russian government should pass a law under which all Poland’s properties and land lost during partition of Poland be returned. Hm…let me think, that would make Poland stretch from Baltic Sea to Black Sea if I am not mistaken.

Please pass this as Urgent to Your Research Dept.
Break news storry from Eastern Europe.
RE: Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk gave money to Clinton Foundation
Wchich may have negative effect Hillary Clinton for President.
Please check ASAP if there are potential negative imlentations for Clinton Foundation
And Hillary for president then need to return the Money to Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk.
1.FT.com / In depth - Yushchenko links poison to meal with secret police Yushchenko ( today DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT PRO US IN UKRAINE ) links poison to meal with secret police … Mr Kuchma’s businessman son-in-law, Viktor Pinchuk,
Victor Pinchuk son-in-law of former president Wiktor Kuchma and his ministers ignored the requests of the international community to allow the media to work independently and to investigate the numerous journalists’ murders.
2.Victor Pinchuk allegedly link the to the killing of many free/open news jurnalists like Georgy Gongadze, sought and received asylum in US on April 13, 2001. Washington also granted asylum to Myroslava Gongadze, the journalist’s 28-year-old widow who had helped her husband in various projects).
The new government is trying to rectify the mistakes of the old regime and to reinvestigate the cases of killed journalists.
For example, the investigation of Georgiy Gongadze’s murder still attracts a large public and international attention today. He was the editor of the Internet publication “Ukrayinska Pravda” (Ukraine’s Truth) who was kidnapped on Sept16 2000. A few days later, he was found dead and beheaded in the forest nearby Kyiv. During the past four years, this case had not been well investigated, because of the possibility that people from high political ranks, including the ex-president Leonid Kuchma, were involved in the murder. The investigation was stopped several times, and the results of the body examination were falsified. As a result, the body of Georgiy Gongadze has not yet been buried, and currently, new investigators are re-examining it.
It is also worth noting that American system of checks and balances under which different branches of power compete with each other. Therefore, parliament as a cornerstone of every democratic polity is supposed either to dominate the executive or form a reform minded, while democratic opposition to the President. Ukrainian Parliament has failed to do so. Setting up an a Parliamentary investigative commission to probe into Gongadze case underlined the impotence of the legislature since the commission had no legal ground for its activities — the law on Parliamentary investigative commissions (such institution is envisaged in the Constitution) was vetoed by the President and Parliament was unable to override the veto.
Confirmed that Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk, a son-in-law of former president Wiktor Kuchma, had made contributions to Clinton Foundation
which in my opinion may effect Hillary Clinton for President.
It was the controversial privatizations of state enterprises in the 1990s that led to many leading Ukrainians making vast fortunes.
We have a sense that the power of the oligarchs has been reduced
Paul Bermingham
World Bank’s Ukraine director
These groups of business people, which are based in the industrial East and in Kiev, contain some of the wealthiest and most influential people in the country, including former President Leonid Kuchma and many of Ukraine’s oligarchs.
During his 10-year rule, Mr Kuchma was accused of cronyism and presiding over one of the most corrupt countries in Europe.
“The old system was all corrupted,” says Mr Rybachuk. “Business and politics were interconnected. People would just walk around with kilos of cash and they used to believe they could do what they liked.”
Ukraine fears the rise of new oligarchs
BBC News, Kiew, Ukraine
December 2002, soon after billionaire Victor Pinchuk married the daughter of then Ukrainian president Leonid Kuchma, the Ukrainian government announced it was prematurely lifting a moratorium on the privatisation of Nikopol. Three months later Kuchma’s government announced the intended sale of a controlling interest in Nikopol. A consortium led by Pinchuk won a tender process designed to favour him.
According to the complaint, Kuchma’s regime became infamous for “the near-total corruption of its official economic life”. In 2004 Ukrainian voters took to the streets in what has come to be known as the Orange Revolution. Its leader, opposition candidate Victor Yushchenko, ultimately defeated Kuchma’s successor-designate and took office early last year.
Ukraine’s oligarchs and friends of Yanukovich, moving to re-privatize industrial assets, allegedly bought on the cheap by billionaires Rinat Akhmetov and Victor Pinchuk. (One such asset, the steel plant Kryvorizhstal, which was obtained by Akhmetov and Pinchuk for $800 million, was later sold to billionaire Lakshmi Mittal for nearly $5 billion.)
Victor Pinchuk now members of parliament themselves, lobbied strongly to put Yanukovich back in power. After months of political stalemate, Yushchenko accepted Yanukovich as his prime minister in August.
President Kuchma called this practice “protection of national economy.” The result of such discrimination was a huge loss for the state budget. Pinchuk and Akhmetov paid US$800 million for Kryvorizhstal, whereas American and Russian investors proposed more than US$1.5 billion.
Corruption stories in Ukrainian media serve primarily as tools of war among groups of media owners, then secondarily as a field for journalistic investigations. On television, only Channel 5 promotes a regular program, Zakryta Aona (Closed Area), designed with professional standards of investigatory journalism. The subject of the program varies, from falsification of the Mukacheve mayoral elections to the corrupt activity of the State Department of Affairs (Derzhavne Upravlinnya Spravamy), which operates with state-owned property.
Tolerance of “small” corruption remains a critical social problem. While strongly criticizing “oligarchs” and other high-ranking corrupt figures, ordinary Ukrainians often consider small bribery as a useful tool to speed the pace of securing needed and favorable official decisions. For ordinary citizens, bureaucratic procedures appear to be an obstacle to economic and other activities, and they often prefer to pay bribes rather than waste time in bureaucratic corridors.

The Betrayal of Poland 1939-1945
by Patrick J. Buchanan
August 29, 1997
With Poland’s membership in NATO at issue, a question has arisen as to whether America owes a debt to the Polish people for Franklin D. Roosevelt’s having “betrayed” the Polish nation to Joseph Stalin at Yalta.
Undersecretary of State Stuart Eizenstat has lately raised the issue of a moral debt to Poland for the 1945 summit where FDR accepted Stalin’s assurances of free elections. Eizenstat was taken to task by columnist Lars-Erik Nelson for repeating a “50-year-old right-wing slander.” Robert Novak defended the “betrayed” thesis.
Nelson’s point: By 1945 Stalin had 12 million troops in Eastern Europe, and Dwight Eisenhower only 4 million in the West. Conservatives who condemn FDR for Poland’s fate, says Nelson, are joining the “Blame America First” crowd. We couldn’t save Poland!
But, in truth, Yalta was only the final betrayal of Poland, and not only FDR but Winston Churchill bears moral responsibility for a half-century of communist enslavement of the Polish people.
The first betrayal came with the British guarantee to Poland, after Neville Chamberlain was exposed as a dupe when Adolf Hitler tore up his Munich pact and marched into Prague. As Hitler pressed Poland for the return of Danzig, stripped from Germany after World War I, and demanded rail and road transit to the city across a “Polish Corridor” also taken from Germany, Warsaw, encouraged by British Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax, refused even to negotiate. The Poles were assured that if war came, Britain would be at their side.
But when Hitler invaded Poland from the west and Stalin invaded from the east, Britain declared war on Germany alone. Then, the British sat behind the Maginot Line while Poland was crucified. The British had goaded the Poles into standing up to Hitler though they had no plans to save or rescue Poland. Six million Poles would die as a result of having trusted in a British alliance.
The second betrayal occurred at Teheran in 1943, when FDR moved into the Soviet embassy compound and assured Stalin he would not object to his keeping the half of Poland and the Baltic states Hitler had ceded to Stalin in their infamous pact. As Robert Nisbet wrote in “Roosevelt and Stalin: The Failed Courtship,” FDR asked only that word of his concession not leak out before the 1944 elections, so Polish Americans would not react in rage. FDR told one visitor to Hyde Park he was “sick and tired” of East Europeans and their constant clamoring about boundaries and sovereignties.
The third betrayal occurred in the summer of ‘44. The Polish Home Army in German-occupied Warsaw, heeding appeals from Radio Moscow, rose up against the Nazis. As the Home Army was loyal to the free Polish government in London, which was demanding an investigation of Stalin’s murder of Polish officers at Katyn, Stalin halted his own Red Army outside Warsaw to give the Nazis a free hand in crushing the Polish uprising.
British and Americans sought to aid the Poles with air drops of food and munitions. But Stalin refused to let the allies use air fields behind his lines to refuel for the return flight to England. Churchill drafted a strong letter to Stalin, asking that the allies be allowed to use the air fields assigned them, but to appease Stalin, FDR cravenly refused to sign the letter. The Home Army was butchered.
By February 1945, Poland had been overrun by a Red Army that could not be dislodged short of a new war. Yalta, writes Nisbet, “is not the source of the Soviet possessions in Eastern Europe … Teheran is. But Yalta performed a service that was almost as important to Stalin. … This was the invaluable service of giving moral legitimation to what Stalin had acquired by sheer force.”
Britain had gone to war and lost 400,000 men and an empire for Poland’s independence. Yet, as Poland receded into the darkness, not once did Churchill vent upon Stalin the oratory he used so often on Hitler. The rape of Poland by Hitler and Stalin was the moral cause that precipitated the war. Yet, Churchill and FDR, to appease Stalin, meekly acquiesced in the betrayal of that moral cause.
“Of one thing I am sure,” FDR said at Yalta, “Stalin is not an imperialist.” How explain his naivete about Stalin, to whom he gave everything, including a third of the Italian fleet and recognition of his puppet government in Poland? “Puerility,” writes George F. Kennan. FDR once told his friend, ambassador William Bullitt: “I think if I give him (Stalin) everything I possibly can, and ask nothing from him in return, noblesse oblige, he won’t try to annex anything and will work with me for a world of peace and democracy.”
And thus was Poland betrayed.

Perfidia Grossa prof. Iwo Cyprian Pogonowski
Nasz Dziennik, 2008-02-19
Jan Tomasz Gross jako prowokator na służbie żydowskiego ruchu roszczeniowego przeciwko Polsce kieruje się najwyraźniej chęcią zysku. Najlepiej można się o tym przekonać, porównując jego stan majątkowy przed napisaniem “Upiornej dekady”, “Sąsiadów” i “Strachu” ze stanem dzisiejszym, gdy fikcyjne brednie Grossa są tłumaczone na obce języki, włącznie z japońskim.
W roli narzędzia żydowskiego ruchu roszczeniowego Gross ma dostęp do fachowej pomocy: w selekcji tematu, redakcji i rozgłosu, przy jednoczesnych wskazówkach, jak ma unikać przeszkód w rozpowszechnianiu kłamstw, zwłaszcza jeżeli chodzi o konkretne dowody fizyczne, kompromitujące jego fałszywe opowiadania. Książki Grossa są zresztą swoiście “wypolerowane” przy pomocy “fachowców”, tak żeby można je było łatwo czytać, a nieznający faktów czytelnik miał zaufanie do prawdomówności książki i przeżywał ją kierowany współczuciem dla ofiar opisywanych zbrodni.
Nie wiadomo, kto w żydowskim ruchu roszczeniowym zorientował się, że można użyć jeszcze raz nazistowskiego schematu propagandowego z 1941 roku, oraz dostarczył pomocy Grossowi w czasie pisania “Sąsiadów”. Kto powiedział mu o tym, jak Reinhard Heydrich, jeden z szefów nazistowskiego aparatu terroru, dowiedział się w pierwszych dniach wojny, że wojsko niemieckie natrafia na zwały trupów obywateli polskich, ofiar egzekucji NKWD, dokonywanych z chwilą ataku niemieckiego na Związek Sowiecki.
Egzekucje te są powszechnie znane w Polsce, ale mniej znany jest rozkaz Heydricha, wydany w pierwszych dniach ataku na Związek Sowiecki, żeby niemieckie oddziały egzekucyjne zacierały ślady swej obecności na miejscach masowych mordów komunistów i Żydów, tak żeby propaganda Berlina mogła rozgłaszać na świat, że wojska niemieckie uwalniają ludność od terroru sowieckiego, podczas gdy miejscowi ludzie jakoby dokonują zemsty na komunistach i pomagającym im Żydach.
Dla Grossa do tego schematu nadawała się metoda niemiecka, stosowana od pierwszego dnia wojny: dokonywać masowych mordów na ludności cywilnej w podpalonych budynkach, po uprzednim wyeliminowaniu ludzi, którzy mogliby stawiać opór. Ludzie silniejsi wśród ofiar byli oddzielani od tłumu i rozstrzeliwani, przeważnie nie na oczach reszty skazanych na śmierć.
W przypadku Jedwabnego selekcji osób, które mogły stawić opór, dokonano, posługując się rozbiciem pomnika Lenina, odlanego w betonie i stojącego na rynku. Silniejsi Żydzi posłużyli się w tym celu młotami z kuźni, ku przerażeniu kowala, niszcząc jego narzędzia do kucia żelaza. Przy tej okazji redaktorzy fałszywej opowieści użytej przez Grossa zorientowali się, że historia o masowej zbrodni polskiego tłumu, nieuzbrojonego w broń palną, musi być zabezpieczona kłamstwem.
Kłamstwo to jest przykładem perfidii Grossa i jego redaktorów. Mianowicie podanie faktu, że Niemcy kazali kilkunastu silniejszym Żydom zanieść betonową głowę Lenina i inne części do stodoły, zarekwirowanej poprzedniego dnia, narażało wiarogodność opowieści Grossa z powodu zastrzelenia przez Niemców ludzi, którzy przynieśli odłamy betonu, wykopali rów w klepisku stodoły do pochowania w nim tych odłamów i wówczas sami zostali zastrzeleni przez Niemców. Nie mogli tego zrobić oskarżani o tę zbrodnię bezbronni Polacy.
Gross użył łatwego kłamstwa, żeby zmylić ludzi, którzy chcieliby sprawdzić jego fałszywą opowieść. Mianowicie napisał, że fragmenty pomnika Lenina zostały zaniesione na żydowski cmentarz, tak zwany kirkut, żeby zmylić możliwe śledztwo w sprawie zbrodni w stodole Śleszyńskiego, człowieka, któremu Niemcy pod terrorem zabrali jego stodołę. W “Gazecie Wyborczej” pani Bikont poparła kłamstwa Grossa i napisała, że Śleszyński swoją stodołę “udostępnił” w celu spalenia w niej Żydów.
Kirkut nie był przeszukiwany, ponieważ w rzeczywistości, w czasie ekshumacji od razu znaleziono w stodole Śleszyńskiego głowę Lenina i wraz z nią natrafiono na zastrzelonych Żydów, którzy przynieśli i zakopali fragmenty pomnika w stodole. Najwyraźniej Gross i jego poplecznicy mieli nadzieję, że zastrzeleni Żydzi w ogóle nie zostaną odnalezieni, ale gdy zorientowali się, że medycyna sądowa jest w stanie ten stan rzeczy ustalić, natychmiast zażądali przerwania ekshumacji. W ten sposób więc przykładem perfidii Grossa jest stwierdzenie na piśmie, że fragmenty pomnika Lenina i zwłoki zastrzelonych Żydów, którzy je nieśli, nie znalazły się na terenie kirkutu, ale w stodole.
Perfidia żydowskiego ruchu roszczeniowego polega też na tym, że w kłamliwy sposób uzasadniali “religijnie” konieczność przerwania ekshumacji, podczas gdy rabini w Nowym Jorku są znani ze sprzedawania cmentarzy żydowskich w celu przeznaczenia ich na parkingi w centrach handlowych.

Czy zmiany w USA są groźne dla Żydów?
Prasa w Izraelu jest mniej cenzurowana niż w USA. Ostatnio w Haaretz, głównej gazecie w Jerozolimie, szef „Stowarzyszenia Prezesów Dużych Organizacji Żydowskich” w USA, Malcom Hoenlein, wyraził zaniepokojenie, że za dużo mówi się o zmianach w USA, które to zmiany mogą być nie korzystne dla Izraela i dla lobby Izraela w Waszyngtonie. Uważa on, że zmiany mogą być tylko na niekorzyść Żydów, którzy obecnie są u szczytu swojej potęgi w ich długiej historii.
Niektórzy mówią, że Żydom udało się wszczepić metalowy pierścień do nozdrza amerykańskiego byka i teraz obawiają się stracić kontrolę nad nim, tak, jak to kiedyś było w Republice Weimarskiej, w latach 1930-tych. Wymuszenie na USA napaści na Irak, jako „wojny z wyboru” a nie z konieczności, a jedynie „dla dobra Izraela” i dopiero w drugim rzędzie dla amerykańskiego kompleksu wojskowo przemysłowego, jest bardzo niepopularne wśród Amerykanów, którzy powoli tę sprawę zaczynają rozumieć, mimo żydowskiej cenzury mediów amerykańskich.
Malcom Hoenlein, szef „Stowarzyszenia Prezesów Dużych Organizacji Żydowskich” powiedział, że poparcie polityczne w USA dla Izraela jest obecnie u szczytu, ale według niego poparcie to słabnie i coraz więcej Amerykanów postrzega Izrael, jako państwo zbrodnicze i militarystyczne („dark and militaristic”). Tak więc, popierający Izrael powinni obawiać się coraz większej tolerancji na krytykę Izraela, w porównaniu ze ścisłą cenzurą, która dziś działa za pomocą narzucania ludziom ostrej dyscypliny poprawności politycznej, korzystnej dla Żydów.
Książka profesorów Walt’a i Mearsheimer’a o „lobby Izraela” jest bestsellerem i podręcznikiem na uniwersytetach, ponieważ jakoby obecnie postępuje „zatrucie elit,” które, według Hoenlein’a może przenikać do mas w USA, zwłaszcza, gdy słyszą przemówienia doktora Rona Paula, kandydata na prezydenta USA, którego on uważa za „otwarcie anty-izraelskiego.” Natomiast w tej samej gazecie Marty Peretz wyraża pobożne życzenia, żeby wydawcy książki o „lobby Izraela” stracili na jej wydaniu dużo pieniędzy i że nikt tej książki nie weźmie poważnie.
Najwyraźniej starty tych wydawców miałby być nauczką dla gojów, żeby uznawali wyższość Żydów nad nie-Żydami. Niemniej Hoenlein nie zgadza się z Peretz’em i uważa, że książka krytykująca „lobby Izraela” jest bestsellerem oraz autorytetem i dlatego „zatruwa elity” takimi hasłami jak „Potrzebujemy silnej debaty o stosunkach USA z Izraelem” oraz końca wojowniczości („war mindset”) na korzyść Izraela.
Hasłami takimi operuje żydowski pisarz Philip Weiss w artykule z 13 lutego 2008, w którym cytuje on slogan mulata, kandydata na prezydenta USA, Baraka Obama: „Konieczny jest koniec wojowniczości, która pozwoliła wciągnąć nas w wojnę.” Slogan ten był powiedziany 12 lutego w Wisconsin, co znaczy, że ostrzeżenie Hoenlein’a w Jerozolimie jest słuszne i że z czasem nastąpi zmiana polityki USA w stosunku do Izraela. Znaki tego jakoby widać na każdym kroku.
Doktor Ron Paul zatrudnił realistycznie myślących Żydów, takich jak Leon Hadar z Cato Institute i rozumie, że demonizacja radykalnego islamu szerzy się w wyniku stałego prześladowania Arabów palestyńskich przez Żydów i że prześladowanie to nie leży w interesie pokoju. Według Ron’a Paul’a wojna Żydów przeciwko Arabom nie powinna prowadzić do wojny USA przeciwko islamowi.
Ostatni raport wywiadu USA stwierdzający, że Iran nie buduje broni nuklearnych, wykazuje opór ze strony wywiadu amerykańskiego, przeciwko lobby Izraela, oraz przeciwko polityce neokonserwatystów-syjonistów. W żydowskim instytucie YIVO, był neokonserwatysta Bill Kristol, syn Irvinga Kristol’a, byłego trockisty, nawróconego na radykalny syjonizm, twórcy ideologii „rewolucyjnego konserwatyzmu” czyli neokonserwatyzmu, który naprawdę jest ruchem rewolucyjnym a nie konserwatywnym. Zastosowanie nazwy tej z przedrostkiem „neo” pozwoliło radykalnym Żydom opanować bogate fundacje konserwatywne i za ich pieniądze przeprowadzić skuteczną walkę o władzę w USA.
Bill Bristol wyglądał w YIVO jak zaszczuty człowiek i powiedział, że Izrael musi szukać poparcia w Ameryce bardziej wśród fundamentalistów protestanckich, niż wśród Żydów, którzy krytykują megalomanię radykalnych syjonistów rządzących w Izraelu, oraz uważają, że obecna polityka izraelska ta jest bardzo niebezpieczna dla samego Izraela i dla Żydów w nim mieszkających.
Fundamentaliści protestanccy wierzą, że zwycięstwo Żydów nad Arabami jest konieczne, żeby umożliwić powrót Chrystusa na ziemię i dlatego popierają Izrael przeciw państwom arabskim i głosują masowo na neokonserwatystów. Taki układ polityczny daje duże dochody kaznodziejom protestantom-syjonistom, od Żydów w zamian za sterowanie rządem neokonserwatystów przez Żydów, zwłaszcza w formowaniu polityki USA na Bliskim Wschodzie.
Samozachowawczy instynkt Żydów w USA jest zaalarmowany takimi książkami jak „Pokój w Palestynie a nie Apartheid,” byłego prezydenta Jimmy Carter’a, którego architektem polityki zagranicznej USA był Zbigniew Brzeziński, dziś wielki krytyk neokolonializmu, niby w imię szerzenia „demokracji” (faktycznie tylko fasadowych) na Bliskim Wschodzie, w Europie wschodniej i w Azji centralnej.
Książka Carter’a, tak jak książka o „lobby Izraela” profesorów Walt’a i Mearsheimera zrobiły przełom w cenzurze mediów w sprawie lobby Izraela i ośmieliły ludzi w USA do mówienia prawdy, tak jak to czyni bardzo ostrożnie Jacob Heilbrunn w książce „Neocon History” czyli „Historii Neokonserwatyzmu.” W książce tej jest dużo prawdy, ale autor twierdzi, że jest bardzo przyjazny dla neokonserwtystów. Mimo tego publicznie udowodnił on, że Żydzi kontrolują politykę neokonserwatystów i że oni a nie przemysł naftowy, są całkowicie odpowiedzialni za wojnę przeciwko Irakowi.
Jakoby powstaje coraz silniejsza „druga elita” wśród Żydów popierających zmiany. Faktycznie Obama był wprowadzony do życia politycznego przez senatora Joseph’a Liebermana i nigdy nie mówi on jasno, ale kryje się za niekonkretnymi symbolami, które są dobrze przyjmowane przez wyborców, a jednocześnie zapewnia on Izrael o swoim poparciu. Stara elita żydowska w USA ma wiele do stracenia na wypadek zmian nastrojów, które ona sama starała się stworzyć, zawsze motywowana walką o faktyczne uznanie wyższości Żydów nad nie-Żydami, w ramach ich specjalnej pozycji społecznej.
Dlaczego mają Żydzi pozwolić na zmiany i nabawić się kłopotów? To pytanie jest siłą motoryczną kandydatury Hilary Clinton, która tylko udaje, że popiera zmiany, ale stoi na gruncie „status quo,” mimo tego, że wyborcy faktycznie chcą zmian. Philip Weiss pyta co dało Izraelowi poparcie Żydów w USA, udzielone przez nich dla wojny USA przeciwko Irakowi? Przyznaje on, że uczuciowe poparcie Żydów w USA dla napadu na Irak, było głównie motywowane aktami arabskich samobójczych terrorystów w Palestynie, których każda rodzina była wynagradzana sumą 25,000 dolarów przez Saddam’a Hussein’a i dlatego Żydzi chcieli go usunąć.
Philip Weiss przewiduje, że w najbliższych miesiącach lub w przeciągu roku, coś takiego stanie się, że postępowi ludzie w społeczeństwie amerykańskim, będą coraz bardziej krytyczni wobec Izraela i zrobią to, czego dotąd zakazywała cenzura mediów w USA. Mianowicie rozpoczną otwartą i uczciwą krytykę poddańczej polityki USA wobec Izraela i całego konceptu osi USA-Izrael, w której przewagę ma liliput nad olbrzymem. Autor spodziewa się takiej debaty w głównych mediach w USA i na terenie kongresu w Waszyngtonie.
Żydzi mają nadzieję nadal być w czołówce, zgodnie ze swoją tradycją judaizmu, jako strategii przetrwania. Strategia ta nie zawsze się udaje, jak to wykazuje tragedia Żydów europejskich po upadku Republiki Weimarskiej. Mimo żądania zmian, kampania wyborcza w USA, najprawdopodobniej nadal będzie przypominać wyścigi dwu koni, które należą do jednego żydowskiego właściciela, takiego jak talmudyczny Żyd, Joseph Lieberman, architekt w senacie wojny przeciwko Irakowi z powodu jego głównej lojalności do Izraela a nie do USA.
Od tysiąca lat Żydzi mieli tradycję używania swej siły zakulisowo i starali się dzięki temu nie ponosić konsekwencji ich polityki wykonywanej przez innych. Obecnie od 50 lat dominacja żydowska w USA jest coraz bardziej widoczna z powodu istnienia Izraela. Od 1967 roku każdy inteligent amerykański rozumie, że w USA można budować karierę na poparciu przez Żydów i że można stracić karierę z powodu krytyki Żydów.
W USA pojawiła się naga siła Żydów w toku napaści na Irak. Naprzód Żydzi zaprzeczali, że ruch i ideologia neokonserwtystów pochodzi od Żydów i że polityka neokonserwatystów jest zdominowana przez Żydów. Obecnie jest powszechnie wiadomo, że Żydzi spowodowali „wojnę z wybory” a nie z konieczności przeciwko Irakowi. Wojna ta jawnie spowodowana przez Żydów okazała się najbardziej katastrofalna w historii USA i zupełnie niepotrzebnie zniszczyła naprzód reputację a następnie niszczy potęgę Stanów Zjednoczonych.

Jews were invited to Poland in the Middle Ages, when they were persecuted in the most of Western Europe, they even got special rights, which other people didn’t have, sure that wasn’t pure love, but Poland was losing many people in countless wars, so simply needed more people, but anyway facts matter. Without that Jews If survived would be something like native Americans today.
It got worse in 19th century, when Poland lost independence and Poles realized that minorities, especially Jews didn’t really care about that. That’s when the whole Polish nationalism was born, before people in Poland were first of all divided into noblemen and peasants, not into nationalities. Jews not only weren’t patriotic, usually they didn’t even bother to learn the language and assimilate.
During WW2 not so many people were helping Jews, but very few collaborated (Poland was the only country without collaboration government or any other serious collaboration forces) and most were just trying to survive, 3 million Polish “goys” (non Jews) were killed and they couldn’t help themselves, so how they could help someone else ?
If you ask If there was anti-Semitism in Poland, the answer can’t be other than yes, but Poland and Poles generally did more good than bad for Jews and anti-Semitism in 19th and early 20th century was maybe not justified but let’s say not surprising in that situation.
Unfortunately many Jews (especially American) today is spreading anti-Polish propaganda, which especially in case of WW2 and a country, which lost the most and a nation, which suffered less than only Jews and Gypsies is shocking and simply disgusting.
Let’s take a look at this from your first post:
“Post war only 4 of the 700 survived. He returns to his home after the war to find it occupied by 3 families who denied him access and berated him for wanting it back.”
For a western reader, who has little idea about situation in Poland during and after WW2 that’s of course “Polish anti-Semitism”, the author knows that, so of course he “forgot” to add that about 50% of buildings in Poland were destroyed or seriously damaged (in Warsaw over 90%), so people were moving to whatever was still standing. What these 3 families should have done ? Got frozen looking at the empty house, whose owners were probably dead ? Or take their children and leave to the forest, when Mr. owner came back and wanted to have a large house only for himself ?

Sen. H.Clinton doen’t know what she is saying at all. She is under
the Jewish manipulaction. She was also extrotskist in the most evil Jewich communist organization. The Jewish communists Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, Dzierzynski, Kaganowich etc created evil state Soviet Union (killing over 100 million people, like wrote Nobel prise winner A.Solzenitzyn). After the
II ed World War they sized Poland the only one inocent country during the war, killing
hundred of thousand inocent Poles and establish communist goverment with the top Jewish communist in the goverment. To cover those operation most of these Jewish changed their names to Polish sounding names. Their communist rules abolished all properties including resting Jewish also.
Poland and really Polish people they do not have any choice or free decision upon this Jewish communists rules. Up to the present time Poland is ruled by ex Jewish communist now under the label, demokrats. Tusk, Wałęsa(Kohne), Kaczyński (Kalkstein) etc they are hidden Jewish people who continue cheating Polish people and Poland.
Poland do not have nothing to return to Jewish people. The Jewish people have to return all what they stolen. Jewish mafia in Poland continue cheating and stilling Polish people. The real Polish government of Polish people do not exists. The Jewish communist propaganda under democratic labels still is operating. This action of returning Jewish property is the action of international communist Jewish mafia
The world do not know the full history of II World War, specially the American publics.

Poland and Jewish restitution question if any?
Finkelstein: Because of its ruthless extortion tactics, in order to extract compensation monies in Switzerland, in Germany, and now eastern Europe. If you take for example the case of Poland, the holocaust industry is demanding roughly in the order of 50 billion dollars in compensation from Poland. That sum of money will leave Poland broke, and in doing so they are throwing peasants off their land, tenants out of their homes, school children out of schools, that’s what they’re doing.
Finkelstein: Yes, and I think what’s particularly egregious about these practices - let’s take the concrete example of Poland. My mother’s father owned a tobacco store in Warsaw. My father’s father owned a small lumber mill in Warsaw. The holocaust industry has declared itself the legitimate heir of all the assets of the Jews who were killed during World War II. So they’re claiming my mother’s father’s tobacco store and my father’s lumber mill as theirs. That they’re the legitimate inheritors. They never asked me, they never asked my brothers. We would not approve of evicting these Polish people from their homes. So I think the claim they’re making is on a false pretext. They are not the legitimate heirs. That’s my family, not theirs. And they’re doing it without the knowledge of Jews.
Harts: Survivors’ protest makes foreign journalists gasp, security vanish (08.06.2007)
“I want the Germans to know where the money they gave Israel went,” he said angrily. “I want the Germans to know that Israel took the money we should have received. I want them to answer one question: Where did our money go?”

Lukasz Zbylut has taken “the old college try” to a whole new level.
The New York teenager, who emigrated from Poland only five years ago, applied to seven Ivy League schools — and was accepted by every one of them.
Now he’s thrilled to further his education at his “dream school” of choice — Harvard. What, Yale wasn’t good enough for him? How about Princeton?

“I do feel sorry, and I feel awful for turning down such great institutions,” Zbylut told TODAY co-hosts Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira. “But it’s Harvard.”
Among the other schools he declined were Columbia, Dartmouth, Penn, Cornell, Georgetown, Stanford and New York University.
There were 10 other prominent schools that also accepted the ever-smiling 18-year-old. But he knew he could only pick one.
“It’s a great feeling to have,” Zbylut added. “And it’s very exciting — and confusing, to an extent.”
A class act
Lukasz Zbylut (pronounced Loo-KASH Zbeh-LOOT) was in seventh grade when he came to the United States. At that point, he admits, he had only a limited grasp of the English language.
“It’s quite amazing that the first words you learn in any language are the curses,” Zbylut said with a laugh. “It’s ‘thank you’ and the curses. Someone should study that at some point. But I’ve come a long way since then.”
Zbylut said the transition to attending school in the U.S. was “easier than expected.”
“Schools in Poland are very rigorous, as you can imagine,” he said. “When taking my first exam, I was constantly turning to the girl next to me because in Poland, [testing] is very collaborative. Here, it’s the opposite.”
In addition to holding such high grades, Zbylut is co-captain of his school’s United Nations team; founder of its debate team; president of its mock-trial team and editor of the school newspaper. And, just for kicks, he plays soccer.
With such credentials, Lauer asked, why did Zbylut apply to so many schools when he knew he’d be accepted to so many of them?
“That isn’t really true, especially the last decade,” Zbylut explained. “[It’s] very competitive. We’re into the single digits when it comes to acceptance rates.
“I thought of myself as a great candidate, but I was never certain of getting into a single one college.”
Zbylut plans to study politics, law and philosophy at Harvard. But there was one school that actually did turn him down — the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Zbylut said he didn’t mind the snub.
“I really don’t regret it, because I would never be as passionate as a student they potentially could have given the spot to,” he said. “I’m hoping that the spot they gave would have been to someone who is very passionate about politics and everything.”
