Krzysztof January Krawczyk (1946 - 2021)Eighty years ago, on September 8, 1946, in Katowice, Krzysztof was born to actors and opera singers January Krawczyk and Lucyna (née Drapała), who met while working at a munitions factory in Sosnowiec. Krzysztof didn't choose the path of a professional soldier, but followed his parents' aspirations. Concerned about his son's future, his father taught him to play the piano at age four, but Krzysztof wasn't particularly dedicated to his studies. In 1956, the Krawczyks moved to Łódź, where Krzysztof enrolled in another music primary school, but dropped out in the sixth grade. His reluctance to pursue education also manifested itself in high school, from which he was expelled in the tenth grade due to youthful antics. He eventually passed his final exams at night school. After his father's death in 1964, he became the sole breadwinner for the family and took up work as a messenger and designer. Krzysztof's musical idols were Mieczysław Fogg and Elvis Presley. He took up singing during his high school years, waiting for the opportunity to break into the world of show business.

Sławomir Wiesław Kowalewski (born February 25, 1946)In the early 1960s, he performed with the band Komety, but his career breakthrough came at the Youth Cultural Center in Łódź, where Sławomir Kowalewski discovered him and taught Krzysztof how to play guitar. In 1963, while on vacation in Mielno, Krzysztof and Sławomir founded the band Trubadurzy, which was joined by Marian Lichtman, Jerzy Krzemiński, and Bogdan Borkowski. Thus began Krzysztof Krawczyk's musical career, performing not only with Trubadurzy but also solo in Poland, Bulgaria, East Germany, the Soviet Union, and, from 1978, in the United States.
Was Krzysztof a true singing genius, or simply possessed of powerful sponsors? It's difficult to say for sure, but he undoubtedly achieved exceptional popularity in the music industry. Robert Sankowski criticized Krawczyk in 2004 in "Gazeta Wyborcza", calling him "a showbiz brat" and "the king of stage kitsch", and described Krzysztof's vocal skills as "an archaic, slightly bleating singing style".

Krzysztof Krawczyk and the song My FriendOne of Krawczyk's most famous songs was the controversial number one hit "Mój Przyjacielu." In the song, the artist gives a stranger everything of value he possesses, including a roof over his head, a car, and even a guitar. Moreover, despite the stranger taking his wife, he continues to offer him hospitality, food, and wine, asking him to stay and continuing to call him his friend. He justifies his behavior by stating that friendship has its rights. What should one call the man Krawczyk portrays in this song? His morbid tendency to call a stranger, perhaps even an enemy, a friend seems inexplicable. Krawczyk's song "Mój Przyjacielu" was written in the 1990s as a song by the Yugoslav band Bajaga i Instruktori. It appeared on Krzysztof Krawczyk and Goran Bregović's album on August 27, 2001. The lyrics perfectly describe the behavior and reactions of Polish politicians to the events of February 2022. Could Krzysztof Krawczyk, in addition to singing songs, possess a previously unknown talent for foretelling the future? However, it seems more likely that he was preparing the Polish public for the planned events of the "Ukraine" project by instilling in them feelings of humanity and selfless devotion to complete strangers.

The Cult of Stepan Bandera, Ukraine TodayUntil recently, my knowledge of Ukraine, Banderism, or Ukrainian nationalism was limited, and I harbored no prejudices against this nationality. However, at the turn of 2014/2015, I was attacked and robbed by two Ukrainians. Without going into detail about the incident, I remember being surprised by the hostility, even hatred, emanating from these men towards me, a Pole. A few years later, I worked with a Ukrainian from Eastern Ukraine, and our relationship was good, although the topic of Banderism or Ukrainians' attitudes towards Poles never arose in conversation with him. In this article, I would like to warn my readers against the uncritical and deceptive myths about a supposed Polish-Ukrainian brotherhood, propagated by the "puppets" of our Polish theater.

Michael Scheuer (born 1952)Here are some facts that contradict the claim that Ukraine is defending Europe (based on statements by Dr. Andrzej Zapałowski):
Senior CIA officer Michael Scheur stated that
Fact 1.
[...] the current situation in Ukraine is the result of a desperate attempt by the West, meaning the EU and Washington, to install democracy in Ukraine according to their own whim. The EU and America concluded that Ukrainians were incapable of resolving the crisis on their own, so they began to allocate enormous resources, sending diplomats, and thus did everything possible to undermine the then-legal Ukrainian authorities.
Fact 2.
[...] A significant element influencing the strengthening of nationalist forces in Ukraine was US assistance in financing and organizing this support. This assistance is partially carried out through operational channels. The American Ukrainian diaspora, with a Bandera orientation, is also involved in this process. The death of US Major Marek Pasławski, who was killed on August 20, 2014, fighting Ukrainian separatists in the Donbas region, sheds some light on these matters.
Fact 3.
[...] Ukraine is important to the US only for its international role in times of crisis and as the next stage of confrontation with Moscow initiated by the Syrian conflict.
Fact 4.
[...] Ukraine's uncritical trust in the US has led to a repeat of the situation in Georgia in 2008, when a country confident of Washington's military and financial support entered the war with Russia.
Fact 5.
[...] An additional element of the policy of uncritical support for Kyiv is the influence exerted on, among others, Polish politicians of the main political persuasions and TV stations broadcasting in Poland to silence, in current politics, and especially in the historical aspect, issues related to the portrayal of the crimes of Ukrainian nationalists during World War II and the post-war period, especially in the context of this movement's current reference to criminal traditions. One might ask whether the authorities of our small empire are presenting a true picture of reality to the public? Are they taking political actions consistent with the interests of our country?

Antoni Macierewicz (born 1948)Unfortunately, on December 2, 2016, the Polish government (represented by Minister of National Defense Antoni Macierewicz) signed a shameful document with the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine regarding "mutual" defense cooperation. This document is shameful not only because of its content, but also because its existence was kept secret from the Polish public. This document was not made public until more than two years after its signing (January 18, 2019).
A few comments regarding this document.
This document is an agreement between Poland and Ukraine establishing the legal basis and framework for defense cooperation. It covers virtually all military and defense-related matters (described in Article 3). Here are excerpts from the two most important articles.
Article 4
[...] The Parties' mutual defense cooperation includes: Free transfers of weapons, dual-use items, and non-combat military property. Article 12
[...] In the event of a state of emergency, natural disaster, or martial law declared in the territory of one or both Parties, they may mutually offer each other immediate support.

Paragraph 2 of Article 12 describes what immediate support includes:

[...] 1) free transfer of weapons, dual-use items, and non-combat property from the armed forces of one of the Parties;
2) special advice and support, including the temporary exchange of trained and competent military and civilian personnel for the purpose of performing previously defined tasks and providing services.
My brief commentary on this document:

1. The document was signed in 2016, and since 2014, Ukraine has been in constant conflict with the Russian Federation. Therefore, signing the document during the conflict was completely contrary to Poland's interests. It was not Poland that was in conflict, but Ukraine.
2. The provisions of the document are clearly contrary to Polish interests and the Polish raison d'état. The free provision of weapons and ammunition, as well as advice and support with the replacement of trained and fully trained military and civilian personnel, is either an expression of abysmal stupidity and ignorance of the facts, or a deliberate plan to exploit Poland, or more precisely, Polish citizens, by imposing on them the costs of a foreign war whose outbreak was at least probable, and perhaps planned in advance.
3. One can surmise that the creation of this document, which threatens Poland's security and sovereignty, involved not only Ukraine but also decision-makers from Washington and perhaps other centers controlled by the Anglo-Saxon "Kermit" staffs. I leave the assessment of this agreement to you, my readers, but it is easy to see that the signing of such a document, at such a time and in such a form, should never have occurred.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk signs a security cooperation agreement with Ukraine without the approval of the Polish Sejm, Warsaw, July 2024On July 9, 2024, at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky signed the Agreement on Security Cooperation. This agreement was intended to be a bilateral security agreement.
[...] In it, Poland committed to training a Ukrainian legion on its territory. The agreement also emphasized the need to discuss the need to intercept Russian missiles while still over Ukrainian territory.
The agreement signed by Donald Tusk may not be as comprehensive as the agreement signed in 2016 by Antoni Macierewicz, but its content is disturbing and certainly has nothing to do with the security of our small empire. Training of Ukrainian soldiers has been taking place since the beginning of the conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation (and likely much earlier), so the provision regarding the Ukrainian legion is of little significance. However, the Polish military's downing of Russian missiles in Ukraine is nothing less than engaging our country in a war with the Russian Federation. Furthermore, the Tusk-Zelensky agreement was not consulted with either the Polish Parliament or the Polish public, and Donald Tusk had no right to sign it on our behalf. This agreement is clearly unilateral, in which the Polish government acts solely in Ukraine's interests.

The Ukrainian flag on the Polish Parliament buildingStarting August 24, 2022, celebrations of Ukraine's Independence Day will be held in many Polish cities. By what right do Polish authorities fund the independence day of a foreign country on our territory, with taxpayers' money? A country that, despite the ongoing war, is simultaneously celebrating its independence.
I would also like to point out that, starting February 24, 2022, Ukrainian flags have appeared on Polish government buildings, in the Sejm, and elsewhere. This action by the government on the Vistula River is unprecedented on a global scale and may herald the imminent arrival of an artificial political entity, Ukropol.

Warsaw Castle Square, August 24, 2024The Ukrainian holiday was celebrated at Castle Square in Warsaw and in several other Polish cities. During the Ukrainian holiday, the Bandera song "Czerwona Kalina" (Red Viburnum) was sung, and the Bandera nationalist chants "Slava to Ukraine" were uttered.
This is precisely the song and chants uttered by Ukrainian torturers murdering Poles during the genocidal massacres in Volhynia and Eastern Lesser Poland. Could it be that the Vistula rulers were captivated by Krzysztof Krawczyk's song "Mój Przyjacielu" (My Friend) and failed to grasp its message? Is the free transfer of our weapons, energy resources such as oil, coal, and electricity, and unconditional financial support to citizens of a foreign country in the best interests of Polish citizens?
Isn't the song "Mój Przyjacielu" (My Friend) a warning against the actions our government is taking in our name, disposing of property that isn't its own? Unfortunately, the actions of the "puppets" from the Polish Muppet Show in the role of "Defenders of Foreign Interests" inevitably lead to the pauperization of our society, and one can only hope that the nation will finally wake up and see the illusion served up for years in the "mainstream" media. Will the new president of our small empire meet the expectations of its citizens and bring about genuine exhumations of the Poles murdered by Ukrainians? Will he defend Polish interests or follow the path chosen by his predecessor?

Time will tell...

Round Table Talks (February 6-April 5, 1989)There is no doubt that the contemporary ruling "elites" are implementing the idea of ​​neo-Prometheanism, pioneered by Józef Piłsudski some 100 years ago. Therefore, the question arises: why do Polish politicians in the highest positions of power fail to pursue the interests of Polish citizens? How can we speak of democracy when the same figures, dating back to the Round Table Talks, govern our small empire? The world of Polish illusion is exceptionally complex, having been created by numerous secret services and countries that have been cashing in on Poland since the Balcerowicz transformation. In subsequent articles, I will attempt to answer the question of whether we can speak of "long centuries of glorious (Polish-Ukrainian) history," as cited in former Polish Gonzo Andrzej Duda's speech.

This concludes episode 21, in which I presented some of the actions of Polish politicians from the ruling camp in the context of Poland's relations with Ukraine. I cordially invite you to watch episode 22, titled "Stepowy Wiatr" (Steppe Wind).
