OECD Forecast: Strong and Stable Economic Growth for Poland in 2021 and 2022

Poland’s economic growth will reach around 5 percent in 2021 and will maintain that level in 2022, according to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Secretary-General Mathias Cormann.

Cormann told the Polish Press Agency that the Polish economy was dealing with the pandemic “extraordinarily well.” He noted, however, that economic growth will slightly slow down in 2023 but remain very strong.

Cormann also pointed out that inflation pressure in Poland does not have a fully permanent character, but potential risks must be monitored and carefully responded to.

10 Reasons to Ditch YouTube for Odysee

Blockchain-based video sharing platform Odysee has experienced rapid growth since its official November 2020 launch and already has over 27 million monthly visitors, according to web analytics service SimilarWeb.

As Odysee has grown and continued to add creator-centric features, YouTube has committed to boosting mainstream media outlets at the expense of independent creators and made censoring “misinformation” and “violative content” its “number one priority.”

This creator-friendly attitude is just one of many factors that has set Odysee apart from YouTube.

Christmas Parade Killer Drove in Zig Zag Pattern to “Hit as Many” People as Possible

The affidavit against the Christmas parade killer states that Darrell Edward Brooks Jr drove in a zig zag pattern in order to “hit as many” people as possible, confirming yet again that the massacre was a deliberate attack.

Ever since the incident, the media has tried to play down any possibility that the attack was motivated by Brooks’ extremist political views, his support for BLM or violent hatred for white people.

This was exemplified in the hours after the tragedy, when numerous outlets falsely reported that Brooks was merely trying to flee the scene of an earlier crime, a narrative that served to diminish the explanation that the massacre was a deliberate attack.

Davis Driver Hits Pedestrians, Lights Own Car on Fire in Multi-County Chase, Officials Say

Vacaville police say they want to speak with victims caught on surveillance camera, occupants of vehicle suspect approached

VACAVILLE, Calif. — After a chaotic evening where a driver struck pedestrians, led law enforcement on a chase across multiple counties and lit his own car on fire to try to escape, police say they want to speak with others involved.

The Vacaville Police Department said it arrested 34-year-old Jaron King of Davis, who faces multiple assaults with a deadly weapon, evasion and attempted murder charges.

Officers now seek information, and perhaps a little more clarity as to what happened, from two people caught on surveillance camera narrowly dodging King’s vehicle, a white Scion Hatchback, police said. During King’s crime spree, he also approached a vehicle at the intersection of Elmira and Leisure Town roads in Vacaville. Officers hope to speak with the person — or people — inside the vehicle at the time.

Dispatchers on Sunday just after 6:30 p.m. got several calls about a reckless driver near the Starbucks on East Monte Vista Avenue, police said. The calls were about two people with a stroller hit by a white Scion Hatchback.

The car police believe was occupied only by the driver, later identified as King, was last seen headed eastbound on Nut Tree Road.

Police said the two people hit were not seriously hurt, and that the stroller was empty.

But the reckless driving reports did not stop there. As officers arrived at the star, police said dispatchers received more calls of reckless driving regarding the same vehicle. This time, at the Walmart Neighborhood Market on Nut Tree and Elmira roads…

Gilliam stated, “When he had his weapon and he was confronted by these imminent threats of loss of life or serious bodily injury, he engaged in a proper manner to eliminate the threat. You didn’t see him out there hammering people down, mowing people down. It’s when the threat got too close and it posed an imminent threat … he took action.”

Fort Worth School District Offers Teachers a Course on ‘Critical Race Theory’

The Fort Worth, Texas, public school district has insisted that its schools do not teach critical race theory, but a document and videos suggest that the school district has inculcated the key tenets of CRT into its teacher trainings and practices, even giving teachers and staff a class introducing them to “critical race theory.”

“The superintendent and the bureaucracy are doing a disservice to the students by teaching them that color is everything, that America is oppressive, and that White supremacy is everywhere,” Carlos Turcios, a young activist who organizes parent protests and who spent four years on the district’s Racial Equity Committee, told Fox News in an interview on Monday. “Last time I checked, critical race theory doesn’t help kids learn how to pay the bills, pay their taxes, or pass that job interview.”

Legal Experts See Case for Intent in Waukesha Parade Crash

The man accused of plowing his SUV into a parade of Christmas marchers could have turned down a side street but didn’t. Once he passed it, he never touched the brakes — barreling through and leaving bodies in his wake, according to a criminal complaint.

No motive has been given for Darrell Brooks Jr., the suspect in the suburban Milwaukee crash Sunday that killed six people and injured more than 60 others, but it may not matter if he goes to trial. Legal experts say the evidence strongly supports intentional homicide charges that would mean life in prison.

Former Waukesha County District Attorney Paul Bucher said it might be difficult to prove intent with the first person Brooks struck, “but when he kept going and knowing what he had done to the first person and didn’t stop, then it was all intentional.”

Brooks, 39, is charged with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide and is expected to face a sixth count after an 8-year-old boy died Tuesday. Waukesha County District Attorney Susan Opper has also said additional charges are likely…

Oklahoma Lawmaker Files ‘Kyle’s Law’ To Compensate ‘Victims of Malicious Prosecution’

An Oklahoma state senator filed a bill on Tuesday dubbed “Kyle’s Law,” inspired by the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, to protect Oklahomans who exercise their right of self-defense from facing trial for “political reasons.”

State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-Broken Arrow) said the legislation, also called Senate Bill 1120, is designed to ensure “victims of malicious prosecution” are able to receive compensation for expenses and damages. Should the bill become law, if a person charged with murder is found not guilty due to justifiable homicide, the state would have to reimburse that person for all reasonable costs “including loss of wages, legal fees incurred, and other expenses involved in their defense.”

Slovak President Calls for Nationwide Lockdown

The number of patients with Covid-19 in Slovak hospitals on Monday reached almost 3,200. According to Slovak authorities, exceeding this number would mean that the country would be on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe. The epidemic situation in Slovakia, which has fewer people vaccinated than the European Union average, has been deteriorating since September, and the government is preparing new measures.

According to President Zuzana Caputova, the country is in such a bad situation that it needs a lockdown.

Although Slovakia has a low vaccination rate, other countries like Germany, which have a higher rate, are also seeing case numbers explode to all-time record highs, and deaths are rising at nearly the same rate as last year.

New Zealand Introduces Vaccine Passports

New Zealand will run a trial of its new vaccine passport system by allowing barbers and hairdressers in Auckland to re-open. The government views the hairdressing industry as a controlled environment perfect to test the new controversial two-tier society system.

On Monday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that hairdressers and barbers in Auckland would be allowed to re-open on Thursday if they agreed to use the government’s draconian vaccine certification system. Those who open will have to ask for the My Vaccine Pass. Staff will also be required to be vaccinated to earn a livelihood.

With Low Vaccination Rates, Africa’s COVID Deaths Remain Far Below Europe and the US

Since the very beginning of the covid panic, the narrative has been this: implement severe lockdowns or your population will experience a bloodbath.

Morgues will be overwhelmed, the death total toll will be astounding. On the other hand, we were assured those jurisdictions that do lock down would see only a fraction of the death toll.

Then, once vaccines became available, the narrative was modified to “Get shots in arms and then covid will stop spreading. Those countries without vaccines, on the other hand, will continue to face mass casualties.”

The lockdown narrative, of course, has already been thoroughly overturned. Jurisdictions that did not lock down or adopted only weak and short lockdowns ended up with covid death tolls that were either similar to—or even better than—death tolls in countries that adopted draconian lockdowns. Lockdown advocates said locked-down countries would be overwhelmingly better off. These people were clearly wrong.

Undaunted by the increasing implausibility of the lockdown narrative, the global health bureaucrats are nonetheless doubling down on forced vaccines—as we now see in Austria—and we continue to be assured that only countries with high vaccination rates can hope to avoid disastrous covid outcomes.

Yet, the experience in sub-Saharan Africa calls both these narratives into question: Africa’s numbers have been far, far lower than the experts warned would be the case.

Biden Admin Allowed Tens of Thousands of Unvetted Afghans Into the US: Report

Tens of thousands of Afghans airlifted from Kabul back in August were not vetted before entering the United States, according to a new report.

The reality of the Biden administration’s disastrous US withdrawal is made clearer through a recent congressional memo that depicts at length the holes in the security process for arrivals from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.

A lengthy Washington Examiner piece discusses both the memo and how that contradicts promises made by the Biden administration earlier this year.

Poland’s Soldiers and Police Defended the Border, Not Merkel’s Talks With Putin and Lukashenko

Following Polish authorities repelling the assault of several hundred migrants on the Polish border near Kuznica on Nov. 15, it became clear that the border would not be broken in such a manner. Polish opposition politicians immediately began a narrative in which Chancellor Angela Merkel’s talks with Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko had greatly contributed to defusing the situation on the Polish-Belarusian border.

This is a lie.

Smugglers With Luxury Boats Open Up New Migration Routes to Europe

New migration routes to Europe are opening up in the Mediterranean Sea, adding to the EU’s border woes as it battles the crisis in Belarus.

EU border guards said crossings in the central Mediterranean, the sea route to Italy, almost trebled last month compared with pre-pandemic levels.

While boats taking that route typically set off from North Africa, border agency Frontex said a “significant development” this autumn was the number of people making the longer journey from Turkey to Italy.

Spoils of an Evil Trade: Gangs of Smugglers Charge Migrants More Than £3,300 for a Space on Unsafe Boat Crossing Channel to the UK

Smuggling gangs are charging migrants more than £3,300 for a place on an unsafe boat to the UK.

It means the criminal gang that orchestrated yesterday’s doomed crossing will have been in line to earn more than £112,000, while others can rake in as much as £150,000 as they pack more migrants in.

Jean-Marc Puissesseau, head of the ports of Calais and Boulogne, said last night: ‘The people who are paid by the migrants to get to your country — with such bad weather, with such rough sea — they are murderers.’

Lawsuit Takes Aim at Law That Allows Transgender Inmates to Choose Housing Location Based on Gender Identity

A California bill that gives transgender, nonbinary and intersex inmates at state prisons the right to be housed at either men’s or women’s facilities is under fire in a lawsuit filed last week.

The Women’s Liberation Front, which also opposes transgender athletes’ participation in girl’s and women’s sports, filed the lawsuit in federal court alleging that SB 132 is unconstitutional and creates an unsafe environment for women in female facilities.

One plaintiff alleged that she was sexually assaulted by an inmate who transferred from a men’s facility under SB 132 and another plaintiff alleged that she was “grabbed.”

7 thoughts on “Gates of Vienna News Feed 11/24/2021

  1. EUROPEAN UNION
    M. Schoinas: We have treatments for Covid-19 but we do not buy them because we have to sell vaccines by 2023
    Incredible revelations from the Vice-President of the Commission

    What was revealed in a recent interview on Greek radio by the Vice President of the Commission, Margaritis Schoinas, as he claimed that there are approved drug treatments for Covid-19 which Europe does not buy because it has made agreements for vaccines.

    M. Schoinas stated that European countries already have the opportunity to choose between eight and nine different treatments, which are now tested and approved by the European Union.

    And the reason why European countries have not already procured them so that they can put an end to the Covid-19 nightmare? That the EU has made an agreement to get vaccines by 2023 and not by 2022, as most until now thought!

    “Vassilis Chiotis says, and rightly so, that at some point in the European portfolio we will have to put the treatment options. This has already started, we have already approved at Community level a number of eight with nine treatment options available, which are approved, which means that if any government wants to move towards them, it can do so without any problems licensing. They are fully tested and approved. “We have not yet reached a point of mass market at the European level of these therapeutic substances, because we believe that this should be done when we go to the end of the vaccines, not to the beginning of the effort, as we are now” , said M. Schoinas.

    And when he talks about the end of vaccinations, this will not come before 2023, because as he characteristically said “our vaccination program continues, it has universal coverage and we have already bought sufficient doses for both 2022 and 2023. We now see the resurgence of infections in Europe, imagine what would have happened without the mass vaccination program. I say this as a reminder. ”

    In short, the Vice-President of the Commission admits that we have approved drugs for Covid-19 but we do not bring them to Europe so as not to reduce sales of vaccines! In other words, the EU accepts that people die so that the “Big Pharma” do not lose money!

    The revelation of M. Schoinas raises many questions about the measures taken by the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, which was late in procuring only 2,000 doses of monoclonal antibodies.

    With more than 100 dead every day with Covid-19, we consider it a crime for the government to destroy the NSS by expelling the unvaccinated health workers and not supplying medicines that could save people, vaccinated and unvaccinated.

  2. Happy Thanksgiving Day from Poland ,for all , good American people !!
    We Love you guys and praying for you and your Motherland today !!

    • Thanks, mate, and same to ya! Your folks are fighting a great fight against the corrupt EU bureaucrats. Good luck, and keep up the good work!

  3. According to Marx, tragic historical events are usually a farce if they repeat themselves. And it is rarely confirmed as in recent days in Poland, when this country was once again pushed to the role of defender of the West – although this defense, unlike the heroic intervention in the Battle of Kahlenberg (it is the Vienna Relief, takes the form of a farce). Certainly, however, not because Poland’s courage or merit would be smaller this time than it was then, but because the whole situation seems as dangerous as it is grotesque, where nothing is as it should be … and even the fulfillment of duty itself it is met with disgust and disgust.
    Nothing new for Poland and Poles.
    Here we have Russia and Belarus first: otherwise two self-proclaimed “defenders” of the Christian West, who are not ashamed to use as a weapon of mass migration, so criticized by them, to then criticize Poland for its alleged police violence – simply distasteful mockery all the more disgusting that it does not avoid risking the lives of tens of thousands of migrants thrown as potential cannon fodder near the Polish border.
    Then the allies of Poland. Warsaw is used to being left alone by its allies in times of need, but the situation has rarely been as absurd as it is today. France, the USA, the EU and, of course, Germany found themselves in a real quandary, unable to decide which of the two antagonists to hate more: conservative Poland or the Union of Belarus and Russia. Therefore, the West prefers to do nothing but grind its teeth to reassure Poland of its support at the government level, while the media, non-governmental organizations and individual politicians continue and even intensify their criticism of Poland for allegedly “inhuman” migrants by the security forces, creating at the same time the image of “poor refugees trapped between Poland and Belarus” and completely ignoring the question of how and why these Syrians and Iraqis ended up in the forests of eastern Poland.

    And finally, the migrants themselves: then, 350 years ago, opposing the West as heavily armed conquerors, today they are poor and embittered young men, lost between Western hedonism and backward fundamentalism, thirsting for a better life and demanding asylum and alms by force from those whom they not infrequently in their hearts they simply despise.

    For Poland, unlike the situation near Vienna in 1683, there is very little to gain here, only disgust and disgrace, not honor. And yet we are dealing with true heroism, for one must fulfill one’s duty not only when the game is for sublime combat glory, but also when it is “only” a matter of rules – for who said that the rules themselves are less important than spectacular external successes? For this higher value is not only the defense of civilization, but also the integrity of the state border, and although it is not easy to understand today, this abstract value can easily compete with the moral burden of individual suffering, so eagerly staged in the media, after all, it is an expression of the will to maintain centuries-old order, an autonomous system of rules that, once repealed in such a central aspect as respect for borders, can no longer claim to be respected in any other. This too belongs to the “West”.

  4. The integrity of the state border also stands for the integrity of the native people therein. The unique social,cultural,moral and historic elements that give life to the national body need that definition to exist and prosper. As the West becomes even more weak and decayed,we can at least take some heart from Poland’s stand.
