An iceberg passing by looked on in horror and..."<br /><br />I thought I would just take a moment from the writing of my sure to be best selling book about The Titanic (soon to be made into a blockbusting movie starring... well whoever it is stars in these things these days) and say that I hope I haven't been too pessimistic.<br /><br />My thought is that we are doing well in getting our own story out there, in the face of it all, but that we need to be realistic about the difficulties and not be discouraged.<br /><br />I belong to a fb group that has a fairly narrow focus, tackling the constant re-defining of Nazi concentration camps as "Polish camps", and we have had a lot of success.<br />And will I hope go on doing so.<br /><br />And I do try to stay out of the defensive corner, as that is where we are being pushed.<br /><br />I just keep pointing out that Poland fought on the Allied Side, not the Axis, and pointing to the double standards, which highlight the political agenda.<br /><br />And so many others - like yourself and Danusha and John the Poet - one of my sisters, Carla Banks, (in her "Forest of Souls") are telling our story and are getting it out there. <br /><br />I don't mean to be pessimistic, just realistic. And, of course, as a Christian, I know that we, the damaged children of Adam, can not put the earth to rights. It is only God's Kingdom that will do that. And already it is teaching millions - "from every tribe and nation and tongue" - to live in peace as one family and to "study war no more".<br /><br />And i do understand why some do not want to be involved, or just can't bear to be. If I were not being constantly taught by Jehovah, I would not be able to cope.<br /><br />But, as He himself tells us, his Inspired word sets everything straight. it really does. I only wish everyone would listen. <br /><br />There is more happiness ahead for us, right here on the earth, than we can now imagine.Sue Knight's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597157298218651144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-85145982527207360122017-08-16T16:35:40.049-04:002017-08-16T16:35:40.049-04:00Thanks Jan for all your hard work, in the face of ...Thanks Jan for all your hard work, in the face of such hostility.

That is why the leftists, and certain others, are so hysterical in their attempts to de-legitimize Poland's PiS government: Unlike previous Polish "post-Communist" governments, it may actually do something substantial to uphold Poland's interests.<br /><br />As for me, I now have 35 information "bulletins", of which one had been posted above minus the links. These "bulletins" address every imaginable line of attack on Poland. They are collectively linked to hundreds of sources of information that I had compiled. Not everything is in-depth scholarship, however. Some of the bulletins contain satire stories that poke fun at certain themes directed at Poland.<br /><br />To see these 35 information "bulletins", please click on my link in this specific posting.<br /><br />Mr. Jan Peczkishttps://www.amazon.com/review/R1YSTTU8TR55IS/ref=cm_cd_pg_newest?ie=UTF8&asin=B00DUF887O&authToken&cdForum=Fx37DFCZNMJDI28&cdPage=1&cdSort=oldest&cdThread=Tx1R5CWLRAHVJZI&store=digital-text#wasThisHelpfulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-54965001259075138082017-08-15T17:37:19.818-04:002017-08-15T17:37:19.818-04:00And yet we all ride on Polish passion when it come...And yet we all ride on Polish passion when it comes to our personal bandwagon - for or against.Adelaide Duponthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01490123934889071074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-38976868801514160092017-08-15T15:55:43.279-04:002017-08-15T15:55:43.279-04:00A tsunami!

We will have to wield our plastic teaspoons more vigorously than ever.<br /><br />As I have probably said before, its like trying to bail out The Titanic with a plastic teaspoon. But I am a little nervous about keeping on mentioning The Titanic, in case it turns out that it was us Poles/Polonians who sank it, and blamed it all on an iceberg floating innocently by minding its own business.Sue Knight's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597157298218651144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-15759120098625249822017-08-15T10:48:28.143-04:002017-08-15T10:48:28.143-04:00All this is part of a recently-concerted Polonopho...All this is part of a recently-concerted Polonophobic meme to defame Poles in terms of "unjust enrichment" at the expense of the defenseless Jews. We all know the agenda behind this spin on history.<br /><br />Here is some items I had reviewed to counter this new wave of anti-Polish propaganda: <br /><br />I. MYTH: Poles “got rich” from post-Jewish property: FACT: There was a desperate housing shortage in Poland caused by the devastation of WWII. Poles were in no position to allow unused post-Jewish properties to stand vacant.<br /><br />I Saw Poland Betrayed. American Opinion Reprint<br /><br />II. If Poles "inheriting" the property of murdered Jews is robbery, then Jews "inheriting" the property of earlier-murdered Jews is also robbery.<br /><br />Gone To Pitchipoi: A Boy's Desperate Fight For Survival In Wartime (Jews of Poland).<br /><br />III. Wartime Lawlessness: Poles robbed Jewish graves. Nothing unusual. Jewish grave-robbers robbed the Jewish dead:<br /><br />In the Warsaw Ghetto 1940 - 1943 an Account of a Witness the Memoirs of Stanislaw Adler.<br /><br />IV. Polish grave-robbers also robbed the Polish dead. Hilary Minc, a very high-ranking Jew in the Soviet-imposed Communist puppet government of post-WWII Poland, was the architect of the mass expropriation of both Jewish and Polish property:<br /><br />In Search Of A Lost People: The Old And New Poland.<br /><br />V. Poles looted Jews. Jewish looters commonly looted Jewish property:<br /><br />To Speak for the Silenced.<br /><br />The Jews of Bialystok During World War II and the Holocaust.<br /><br />VI. No “picking” on Jews. Polish looters also commonly looted Polish property:<br /><br />Red Shadow: A Physician's Memoir of the Soviet Occupation of Eastern Poland, 1944-1956.<br /><br />VII. If Poles are a nation of thieves, then so are the Jews. In the 1948 War, Jewish military and civilians systematically looted Palestinian Arabs:<br /><br />1949: The First Israelis.<br /><br />VIII. The looting of property, by both Poles and Jews, is an unremarkable outcome of the brutalities of six years of Nazi German occupation:<br /><br />I Saw The New Poland.<br /><br />IX. For more facts on looting and property acquisition, in wartime and post-war Poland, see:<br /><br />Golden Harvest or Hearts of Gold? Studies on the Wartime Fate of Poles and Jews.<br /><br />---------------------<br /><br />Not only Jews lost property! Did you know that 50 million people were made homeless by WWII? See my review of HOW WAS IT POSSIBLE? by Peter Hayes.<br /><br />Also read the lucid accounts of two postwar Poles who, out of desperate poverty, had engaged in “gold digging” in the ashes of Auschwitz-Birkenau. See my review of Laurence Rees. 2005. AUSCHWITZ: A NEW HISTORY.<br /><br />Mr. Jan Peczkishttps://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AEHTJSESJUXVCCFUY42252OJVXWAnoreply@blogger.com
