"Poland pulls food preserved with road salt" March 10, 2012
WARSAW - Polish health authorities have ordered the withdrawal from the market of more than 500,000 pounds of pickles, bread, and other food suspected of containing industrial salt, the latest development in a scandal raising fears about food safety.
No wonder food taste so salty!
Lab tests have found that the amounts of dioxins and heavy metals in the salt are minimal and unlikely to harm human health. Nonetheless, health inspectors ordered the removal as a precaution, officials said.
Sigh. Western governments are incapable of telling the truth, aren't they?
Revelations that industrial salt was sold to food producers has prompted authorities to open a criminal investigation. The industrial salt was intended for deicing roads in winter.
So that is what is in the salt shaker.
Poland is a major regional food exporter, and officials fear the issue will hurt its reputation in a sector key to an economy that has grown fast in recent years.
Hey, everybody's gotta eat.
With much of its territory devoted to agriculture, Poland produces everything from apples and beets to eggs and meat sold to Germany and other neighboring countries....

That's your only meal on that tasty story, folks.

"Poland wants Auschwitz barracks back" Associated Press, February 24, 2012
WARSAW - Polish and US officials are engaged in intense talks to determine the fate of a sensitive object: barracks that once housed doomed prisoners at the Nazis’ Auschwitz death camp and are now on display at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
I have been through there and I am so sorry I bought the lies. The tiny train car gave me a bit of doubt, but that quickly dissolved in my (at the time) Zionist-soaked brain.
And honestly, I'm kinda full up on seeing the Nazis everywhere I turn in the AmeriKan media. They are on TV, in the paper, in the movies all the time.
See: Nazis Then and Now
I prefer to focus on the now.
Poland is demanding the return of the artifact, which has been on loan to the Washington museum for more than 20 years and is an important element in its permanent exhibition. But the US museum says the barracks should not be moved, partly because it is too fragile.
The issue has arisen because of a Polish law aimed at safeguarding a cultural heritage ravaged by past wars, particularly World War II. Under the law, passed in 2003, any historic object on loan abroad must return to Poland every five years for inspection. While Poland appears open to renewing the loan, it says the barracks must return - at least temporarily.
Because of the rule, the US museum in recent years has already returned thousands of objects dating to the Holocaust, often in exchange for new, temporary loans of similar items.
The barracks on view in Washington is just half of a wooden building where prisoners slept in cramped, filthy, and often freezing conditions as they awaited extermination.
It's unfortunate that the last part is actually a lie.
The remaining half still stands at Birkenau, a part of the vast Auschwitz-Birkenau complex.

"Poland defends rail safety after deadly crash" Associated Press, March 05, 2012
SZCZEKOCINY, Poland - Poland’s government insisted Sunday that rail travel is safe in the country despite a train collision that killed 16 people, assurances that come months before masses of sports fans will enter the country for a major soccer tournament - many of whom will crisscross the nation by train.
Saturday night’s crash, Poland’s mostly deadly rail tragedy in more than two decades, raised new questions about the safety of a state-run rail network, which has undergone modernization in recent years. Poland still has a rail system marked by the legacy of the communist decades but has been working to upgrade trains and tracks....
The commies have been gone for over 20 years!!!
Some routes today are notorious for being slower than they were even before World War II - and the economically dynamic young member of the European Union has been pushing to change this even as it builds skyscrapers, highways, and stadiums. Several of the construction projects have been accelerated by the coming Euro 2012 soccer championship, which start in June....
