Polish President Revealed That Foreign Companies Own Most Of Ukraine’s Industrial Agriculture

What is left for the Ukrainian people, after the “kinetic action” ends, will merely be a carcass of a country. This after the feasting off of the country by the usual players. Poland has raised issues surrounding the Ukraine farmland and points out that a “significant share of it” has been taken over by foreign firms. Poland farmers recently blocked the imports of Ukraine’s cheap grain across their border and the mandates of the E.U.

In January, we learned we were on the track with this post.

Zelensky’s Opening Act at Davos -Courts JPMorgan, Bank of America, Bridgewater CEO’s

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy met some of the biggest names in global finance on Tuesday morning on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. The Ukrainian leader spoke with JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon, Blackstone’s Steve Schwarzman and Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio among others.

Now the latest:

The Oakland Institute published a detailed report in February 2023 titled “War and Theft: The Takeover of Ukraine’s Agricultural Land”, which exposed how foreign firms have clandestinely taken control of a significant share of Ukrainian farmland by exploiting a liberal law in collusion with local oligarchs. Their findings made waves around the world at the time but eventually receded from the public’s attention over half a year later once Western outlets like the USA Today misleadingly “fact-checked” it.

Few could have expected that it would be none other than Polish President Andrzej Duda who just breathed new life into it during his interview with Lithuanian National Radio and Television. He was explaining Poland’s problem with Ukrainian agricultural imports when he dropped the following bombshell:

“I would like to draw particular attention to industrial agriculture, which is not really run by Ukrainians, it is run by big companies from Western Europe, from the USA. If we look today at the owners of most of the land, they are not Ukrainian companies. This is a paradoxical situation, and no wonder that farmers are defending themselves, because they have invested in their farms in Poland […] and cheap agricultural produce coming from Ukraine is dramatically destructive to them.”

Duda represents what’s widely considered to be one of the most pro-American and anti-Russian governments at any time in history so he can’t credibly be accused of “pushing Kremlin propaganda”.

….

Putting the pieces together, the Ukrainian leader made good on his May 2022 Davos proposal by offering companies “patronage” over Ukraine’s industrial agriculture, which was already in the process of unfolding prior to then but was greatly accelerated by last May’s meeting with BlackRock’s management. This took the tangible form of these indirectly foreign-controlled farms outcompeting Poland’s by far, thus leading to the Polish farmers’ protests across the country and the latest troubles in bilateral ties.

The sequence of events detailed thus far places into context mid-February’s report about the G7’s alleged plans to appoint an envoy to Ukraine, who’d obviously be tasked with implementing the Davos agenda if this comes to pass, particularly entrenching foreign control over Ukrainian farmland. It also suggests that Ukraine’s informal focus on ramping up agricultural exports to the EU isn’t just opportunistic, but partially driven by these foreign firms’ preference for speedy and reliable profits.

NATO Breaks – Poland Will No Longer Arm Ukraine

Is this the beginning of the end of the support for Ukraine? Apparently Zelensky is running out of willing participants ready to accept Ukraine’s cheap wheat that is flooding their countries. Add a couple of elections coming up for these countries, Zelensky holding out his cup, has found unwilling participants.

Here we go:

The dam is breaking on unified Western support for Ukraine, and the timing couldn’t be worse for Zelensky, given tomorrow he’s expected to meet with President Biden at the White House. On Wednesday evening there is monumental news out of Poland which could potentially change the entire course of the war.

“Poland will no longer arm Ukraine to focus on its own defense,” Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced just hours after Warsaw summoned Ukraine’s ambassador related to a fresh war of words and spat over blocked grain, according to the AFP. Warsaw has throughout more than a year-and-a-half of the Ukraine-Russia war been Kiev’s staunchest and most outspoken supporter.

Will this massive and hugely significant about-face mark the beginning of the end? Are peace negotiations and ceding of territory in the Donbas inevitable at this point? 

Within the last 48 hours relations between Poland and Ukraine quickly spiraled to their lowest point since the Russian invasion, and it is directly related to Warsaw leading a handful of EU countries to extend a grain export ban on Ukraine, amid continuing anger and outrage from Polish farmers who are suffering due to their country being flooded with cheap Ukrainian wheat.

Crucially, Poland will hold parliamentary elections on Oct.15. The prior atmosphere of enthusiastic pro-Kiev rhetoric has drastically changed, now with comparisons likening Ukraine to a “drowning man”. As The Associated Press explains:

Polish leaders have compared Ukraine to a drowning person hurting his helper and threatened to expand a ban on food products from the war-torn country. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggested that EU allies that are prohibiting imports of his nation’s grain are helping Russia.

Now, Polish officials, who are trying to win parliamentary elections next month with help from farmers’ votes, are expressing dismay over some of Ukraine’s latest moves, including a World Trade Organization complaint over bans on Ukrainian grain from Poland and two other EU countries.

GENEVA (AP) — Ukraine is filing a complaint at the World Trade Organization against Hungary, Poland and Slovakia after they banned grain and other food products coming from the war-torn country, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said Tuesday.

It heightens a political showdown pitting farmer against farmer and widens a rift between Ukraine, a major global food supplier, and three members of the European Union, which has been a pivotal backer of Kyiv as it works to fight off Russia’s invasion.

In a break with the wider EU, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia last week announced bans on imports of Ukrainian food to their local markets. They were joined Tuesday by Croatia. But all four will keep allowing those products to move through their borders to parts of the world where people are going hungry.

Whodunnit? – Attack on Nord stream Pipelines

 

by Mustang

On September 26, Reuters reported an unexplained gas leak from the Nord Stream Two (Russian) gas pipeline, five miles off the Danish Island of Bornholm.  The news flash that no one in America saw also reported that the German government was working with Danish authorities to discover what suddenly caused the pipeline’s pressure to plummet.  And, of course, the Danish government isn’t talking.  Nord Stream One also reported a reduced capacity.

So, then, what happened?  These two under-sea pipelines are massively constructed with steel-reinforced concrete designed to withstand the impact of anchors from large ships.  The word “indestructible” has been bantered about, but we know that nothing made by man is indestructible.  And we know that ship’s anchors didn’t cause the damage.  Again, what happened?

We don’t know.  Journalist Pepe Escobar, writing for The Cradle News, tells us that it is one of those “who done it” mysteries.  Was it Russia who tried to blow up the pipelines?  Why would Russia blow up its own pipeline?  They just turn off the valve if they don’t want Germany to receive Russian gas.  So, it doesn’t look as if Russia would do it.  And neither would Germany, particularly since it has been revealed that Russia and Germany have been engaged in secret negotiations to restart Nord Stream 1 and 2.  Denmark?  Nah.  Why would they?

But Joe Biden did make a public statement, captured by America’s ABC News on 7 February of this year, “If Russia invades … then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2.  We will bring it to an end.”

Who set the explosive charges?  America’s Eastern European puppet: Poland — at least, that’s what the bookies are saying (with CIA supervision, of course).  Plausible deniability is the key.

Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov observed that the damage to both pipelines poses a big problem for Russia.  He said, “ … this gas is very expensive, and now it is all going up into the air.” Note: Peskov revealed sabotage as the cause of the problem over any other source of damage. Peskov emphasized that neither Russia nor Europe had anything to gain from the sabotage … especially Germany.

Escobar thinks that Paul Gottfried’s explanation is the best, citing Leo Strauss and the Conservative Movement in America: A Critical Appraisal, Cambridge University Press, 2011.  Escobar explains that Leo Strauss, a German-Jew philosopher, and professor at the University of Chicago, is at the root of what became America’s Wolfowitz Doctrine (1992), which defined the United States’ mission in the post-cold war period.  “Any potential competitor to U.S. hegemony, especially ‘advanced industrial nations such as Germany and Japan, must be smashed.”

Fast forward to 2022, U.S. Secretary of State Blinken and Victoria Nuland are staunch advocates of the Strauss/Wolfowitz notion, which has found its way into the Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022.  It establishes Kyiv as a “free lunch” regarding arms control mechanisms.  The U.S. leased costly weapons to the E.U. and sent them to Ukraine.  Whatever happens on the battlefield is an E.U. problem.  Very Machiavellian, eh?

So who is behind this pipeline business?  The bookies in Nevada are betting on Biden and Blinken — with a little help from their friends, Poland — and the America CIA, of course.  Whatever it takes to separate Germany and Russia from making their deal.  Analysts argue that Germany is not the problem and Russia will not be bullied.  For nitwits inside the beltway playing with dynamite sticks, it may serve our long-term interests to realize that Russia still has nuclear teeth.  If Russia and the E.U. conclude that the United States is their “joint enemy,” Ukraine won’t be our only problem.

It might have been better had the American voter not selected Biden as their president.  After all, Biden chose Blinken, and Blinken chose Nuland, and both of those nitwits belong in a rubber room.

My friend Bunkerville predicted that the United States was on the road to war.  I think she’s right about that.  I find no comfort in it, but I think she’s right.  But that’s okay.  We Americans still have Twitter to keep us entertained.

Bunk will add a postscript to Mustang’s fine post with this:

Blinken Calls Sabotage Attacks On Nord Stream Pipelines A “Tremendous Opportunity”

Zero Hedge

He at the same time touted that the Untied States has now become “the leading supplier of LNG [liquefied natural gas] to Europe,” stressing too that the Biden administration is helping to enable European leaders to “decrease demand” and “speed up the transition to renewables.”

Tellingly, in that single section of comments while speaking alongside his Canadian counterpart, Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly, Blinken had repeated the word “opportunity” while highlighting the European energy crisis no less than three times.

According to @SecBlinken, the Nord Stream pipeline bombing "offers tremendous strategic opportunity for the years to come." Too bad that this tremendous opportunity for DC bureaucrats will come at the expense of everyone else, especially this coming winter. pic.twitter.com/T2eacQUuBF

Finally, we note that China state-affiliated media mouthpiece could not resist commenting on Blinken’s apparently cluelessly ironic comments, saying what much of the rest-of-the-world is perhaps thinking…

Taking the sabotage of Nord Stream pipelines as a "tremendous opportunity" is such undisguised comment, isn't it? Isn't Mr. Blinken worried that his remarks will make the world believe "whoever benefits did it"? pic.twitter.com/X8NwAX75w2

How many times does Poland have to save Western Civilization?

 

 

I snagged this over the weekend. Note the incredulous reaction to the MP by the interviewer getting the facts of life. Time we got on board with the program.

How Many Times Do the Pączkis Have To Save Western Civilization?

Polish MP: Our country is safe because we did not accept illegal immigrants.

 

 

FROM:  MotusA.D.

First Poland saved Europe from the Ottomans (single-handedly), then from the Kaiser (an assist) followed by the Commies (a major assist) and now again from the modern-incarnation of the Ottomans – which aren’t much different from the ones some 400 years ago. Just how many times does Poland have to save Western Civilization anyway?

I think we should help them this time by adopting Dominik Tarczynski’s platform – “we will not receive even one Muslim” – until such time as they can produce convincing evidence that demonstrates they’ve reformed their religion and are no longer required to lie to, subjugate and kill all infidels. Since we deplorables are already called “populists, nationalists, racists,” haters,  etc., there’s very little else they pile on anyway.

The freedom loving and fighting Poles are exceptional warriors and I can think of no good reason why we shouldn’t support them 100%. Granted, their language is a bit difficult, with all those complex consonant clusters that are are totally unpronounceable, but it’s nothing that buying a few vowels couldn’t fix.  Mind you, I’m talking about normal vowels, not the weird ones with squiggly tails tacked on, called ogoneks, that they just slap into a word all willy-nilly.

Poland Ratifies EU Lisbon Treaty – a Threat to U.S.

Polish President Lech Kaczynski signs EU's Lisbon Treaty at presidential palace in Warsaw on Oct. 10, 2009

The Main Stream Media is not reporting on one of the most threatening actions taking place. And that is the beginning of the Lisbon Treaty. Poland is the second-to-last EU member to sign the Lisbon Treaty, which must be ratified by all 27 member states before it can take effect. Update:And they are threatening to throw the last hold out, out.

“The Treaty of Lisbon will define what the EU can and cannot do, and what means it can use. It will alter the structure of the EU’s institutions and how they work. As a result, the EU will be more democratic and its core values will be better served”. This is what is claimed. In reality, the countries will essentially give up their  sovereignty.

It will only be a matter of time until the U.S. will be required to adhere to an International Court. Our new Supremo stated during her confirmation, that we should consider “other laws” than our own  in determining  a U.S. ruling. The Euro will become the world’s currency. There are already rumblings about using other currencies than our dollar for the world’s currency. Yet we are like sheep. No one, not one elected official is addressing these issues. Instead, voting our country into bankruptcy. We are in decline, and no one is speaking out.

Only one more country to go- then the Treaty goes into effect. That country?

Now the only signature missing is that of Czech President Vaclav Klaus, who has also expressed concerns about a more powerful EU.  Breaking news:

Germans seek to oust Czech president Vaclav Klaus over EU treaty

In faraway Brussels furious diplomats were calling for his impeachment and even his country’s expulsion from the European Union because of his obstinate refusal to sign the Lisbon treaty. Klaus, now the only European leader holding out against ratifying the document, made it clear he did not give a damn.

http://europa.eu/lisbon_treaty/index_en.htm

This new treaty is the result of negotiations between EU member countries in an intergovernmental conference. Poland has signed the Lisbon Treaty which aims to streamline the workings of the European Union. http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2009/10/11/2009101100804.html
In a ceremony Saturday, Poland became the 26th country to ratify the Lisbon Treaty. Despite his personal antipathy towards the European Union, Polish President Lech Kaczynski signed the accord.

The Constitution of the United States of Europe :http://europa.eu/lisbon_treaty/full_text/index_en.htm  Also the “official site” of the E.U.

The European Union is not a democracy, because no Euro politician or Euro M.P., nor any European President or E.U. leader, has ever been elected or voted for by the general public. Yet the European Parliament is in control of the official government of the countries in Europe.

The European Parliament has the final say in deciding laws which apply to every E.U. member states, and the European Court is higher than any national court and has the final say in enforcing law in all member states. Is the New World Order just a conspiracy theory, or is there truly a secret agenda to unite the world under a single government, a single currency, a single legal system, and perhaps even a single religion? What happens to countries which do not wish to participate in the United Nations or the New World Order? What will happens next after the process globalisation is complete? Globalization is an internationalist process which transcends nationality, so who controls it and who is behind it?
