"Workers who changed Poland now victims of their success" by Megan K. Stack, Los Angeles Times | November 1, 2009
GDYNIA, Poland - .... Mindful of their history - not to mention the political weight of the workers and their union - the government has propped up the shipyards for years with billions of dollars in subsidies.
Not banks?
The European Union, however, concluded the subsidies had given the Polish shipbuilders an unfair edge over competition in the rest of Europe. The shipyard in Gdansk was sold in 2007. The other two were closed. A frustrated Polish prime minister threatened to sack his treasury minister if the shipyards weren’t sold off this summer. And for a flash, it looked as if a buyer had emerged. But the deadline to deposit the down payment rolled around in August, and the investor failed to deliver. The shipyards were thrown back into limbo....
But sometimes the agents of change live long enough to become its victims....
So they KNOW ABOUT the GLOBALIST/ZIONIST CABAL and the APPROACHING REVEALING, 'ey?
Are YOU MINDFUL of YOUR HISTORY (and YOUR SURROUNDINGS, America)?
"Communist-era informant files still haunt old East Bloc" by William J. Kole, Associated Press | November 1, 2009
BUCHAREST, Romania - Most former East Bloc countries have enacted legislation that opens up at least some of their millions of pages of secret police archives to the public, revealing how armies of informers were bribed or coerced into snooping on friends, colleagues, and neighbors....
Yeah, hi, Hal (you f***ing puke!)
Strange how THEY are OPENING UP as AmeriKa CLOSES DOWN, huh?
Others.... are holding back hundreds of thousands of files implicating key figures, including some still powerful in business, media, and politics.
That stuff goes WAY, WAY BACK here -- to JFK, really!
In Hungary, which still has no legislation that would fully open the files, the intelligence services have kept 27 percent of the dossiers closed because they are still considered top secret, said Janos Kenedi, an investigator who recently oversaw an official evaluation....
That hasn’t stopped the names of alleged former snoops from trickling out every few weeks or months, implicating personalities ranging from actors and athletes to priests and intellectuals..... Dirty secrets keep slipping out to damage careers, friendships, and family ties.
See: Chomsky is No Expert
This summer, a newspaper outed soccer star Gheorghe “Gica’’ Popescu, the former captain of Romania’s national football team. At first he angrily denied it, then acknowledged he wrote notes informing on teammates and others in the 1980s. Yet a cloak of secrecy still shields Securitate generals who ran the surveillance and now hold key posts in politics and business.
I wish the MSM would TURN THAT AROUND and LOOK HERE.
Of course, we know why that is not happening.
Some are said to have destroyed their files, and the National Council for the Study of Securitate Archives acknowledges it has not been given 70,000 dossiers that remain off-limits on grounds of national security....
Isn't that a crime, destroying documents?
Romanian-born writer Herta Mueller, who fled the regime for Germany and won this year’s Nobel literature prize, has accused the government of making a show of opening the files while keeping the most important papers under wraps.
Yeah, it is called a LIMITED HANGOUT and is meant for the citizenry to CALM DOWN and BELIEVE the ALTERNATE COVER-UP after the FIRST ONE GOES BAD!
You know, like the 9/11 Commission!
Yeah, go back to sleep, America.
That, say other critics, makes a mockery of efforts to achieve national reconciliation.
“They’ll never open the files of the big players,’’ said Cornel Nistorescu, a prominent Romanian political analyst. “It can’t be done because the state is still run by these people. They’re in political parties, in [nongovernmental organizations], in media, in business - everywhere....’’
--more--"Yeah, you CAN'T EVEN TRUST your CLOSEST FRIEND!
Well, I TRUST MINE and I will be socializing with him and his guests soon -- even though I hate football.
The biggest players of all (almost):
"As Dresden erects a bridge, UN strips away ‘heritage’ title; Elbe Valley loses elite designation" by Los Angeles Times | November 1, 2009
DRESDEN, Germany - .... Photo-snapping passengers don’t need to be told why the United Nations designated this 11-mile stretch of the Elbe Valley a World Heritage Site in 2004.
But what the UN giveth, the UN taketh away.
So NOW the U.N is GOD, huh????
NOT IN MY WORLD!! NEVER in MY WORLD!!!!
Dresden officials are forging ahead with construction of a four-lane bridge across the Elbe, which they say will solve the city’s traffic woes. But for UNESCO, the UN’s cultural arm, it’s a bridge that threatens to destroy the famous views of the area. And in June, the agency did something it had never done: It stripped the Dresden Elbe Valley of its World Heritage title, striking it off the list of such marvels as the Taj Mahal, the Acropolis, and the Grand Canyon.
Keep it; who cares, U.N.?
We DO NOT WANT YOUR GLOBAL GOVERNMENT!
The expulsion was an embarrassing blot on the reputation of a city praised for conservation efforts. Once synonymous with the fine china that bore its name, Dresden was nearly obliterated by Allied bombs during World War II, then clawed its way back to life, its splendid restoration of the Baroque city center a monument to triumph over adversity.
Yeah, that MASS-MURDERING WAR CRIME deserves ONLY a SENTENCE because WINNERS WRITE HISTORY!

And that wasn't even Dresden!
“Dresden was bombed, but the vineyards and meadows and the valleys were not destroyed - until now,’’ said Gunter Blobel, a German-born Nobel laureate scientist in New York and an outspoken critic of the bridge. “It’s like self-immolation.’’
You know what imagery you are to conjure up in your mind, rught, readers?
The bridge, under construction since 2007, represents the will of the people, say opponents, who approved it in a referendum. “We are not living in a dictatorship. We are a democracy, and I want to decide for myself how I go from A to B,’’ said Nikolaus Koehler-Totzki, a lawyer. “It may be by train, it may be by bicycle, it may be by car, but I want to have the freedom to decide.’’
And THAT is what FREEDOM IS!!!
And TELL IT TO VERMONT!
Koehler-Totzki heads the state of Saxony’s automobile club, an organization that supports the bridge. Ask him when the span was proposed and he likes to reply, “In 1868,’’ when Dresden’s planners first suggested a new crossing for the Elbe that would connect the city’s university, on one side, with the community of Waldschloesschen on the other. In reality, the design for the current bridge, a modern structure made of iron, was chosen by the city at the beginning of this decade. Motorists weary of worsening congestion had clamored for a new span to fill the gap between two crossings a mile away on both sides, Koehler-Totzki said.
If the NEWSPAPER says it is REALITY then it MUST BE FANTASY!
In 2005, residents voted overwhelmingly in favor of the $232 million project. But as critics note, they did not know that the bridge could cost them World Heritage status, an accolade that brings no concrete reward but can affect the tourist industry.
PFFFFFFT!
Not worried about the carbon footprint when it comes to tourism, are they?
Officials with UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, complained that the city had not submitted a blueprint of the bridge in its application for World Heritage status for its stretch of the Elbe Valley. Dresden’s restored city center was not eligible because the buildings are reconstructions, not originals. The portfolio contained only a discussion of possibilities for a new crossing, without the design eventually adopted.
“Every time a major project is going on, the parties have to inform UNESCO,’’ said Mechtild Roessler, chief of the European and North American unit of UNESCO’s World Heritage Center. “They didn’t do that. We learned about it from the press.’’
All the MORE REASON to tell the U.N. to TAKE a HIKE!
As a warning, the center slapped an “endangered’’ label on the Dresden Elbe Valley in 2006 - the only site in Western Europe to go on the danger list. Defiant, the city began construction of the bridge two years ago. It has added up to an atmosphere of dissension over a region famous for the harmony of its verdant countryside and palaces and monuments from the 18th and 19th centuries....
That happens ANY TIME the U.N GETS INVOLVED!
Hey, I LOVE HISTORY as much as the NEXT GUY but WE ARE LIVING NOW!
“We got an independent study that this specific bridge would cut the valley into two parts and would obstruct some of the most important views across the valley,’’ Roessler said. “Following that, we advised the government of Germany to look for other options, and they did not.’’
Detractors of the bridge favor a tunnel beneath the river instead. But Koehler-Totzki says it would cost far more and require complicated engineering.
Germany's CHUNNEL?!!!!!!!!
Shut up, fart misters!
You want to do something, ARREST some WAR CRIMINALS, will you?
"Statesmen meet for reunification event
BERLIN - Three statesmen who oversaw the fall of the Berlin Wall that led to the collapse of communism in Europe gathered yesterday to reflect on the changes they helped usher in 20 years ago. Former US President George H.W. Bush; the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev; and former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl were honored (AP)."
