Secret communist agents in the Polish media exposed on TV

Shocking TV program about famous Polish journalists discovered to be secret agents in the communist apparatus in Poland. This program asks difficult question: "Do all journalists working for communist Poland will ever be denounced?" You will see prominent "independent" journalists of communist era and their secret files from secret communist services archives. They always repeat "I did not hurt anyone" - amazing coincidence in many statements to the press. Historian from IPN described that as one of the secret agent training points: deny involvement despite any proof and say: "I did not hurt anyone".

News casts from Poland on the Internet

For the last few years anyone could watch Polish TV news programs on www.tvp.pl web site. The archives are still there. You can watch news programs even couple years back. It is a fantastic source of news from Poland. Please see the examples from the archives:

On March 18, 2007, they made a fundamental change. The news programs are now blocked from the North American viewers. The change makes it impossible to view current and archive news programs as before. Current programs are available only via paid subscription at www.TVPolonia.com but only one program for given date. There is no way of viewing any old news casts. In my opinion this option was very important for American viewer. Please join me in requesting from TVP to restore that function of the Polish public television. You can write a letter from this screen:

Here is what I wrote and feel free to use any portion as a sample:
Szanowni Panstwo,
Jestem wielce zaskoczony tym ze w nowym formacie Wiadomosci nie mozna ogladac spoza granic kraju. Ogladanie Wiadomosci ze strony TVP.PL>WIADOMOSCI> [ http://ww6.tvp.pl/119.dzialy ] bylo dla mnie cennym zrodlem kontaktu z krajem na przestrzeni ostatnich kilku lat. Teraz otrzymuje nastepujaca wiadomosc: "Dostep do tego materialu nie jest mozliwy z terytorium kraju z którego sie z nami laczysz." Apeluje o przywrocenie tych mozliwosci, zwlaszcza, ze mozna bylo ogladac archiwalne wydania Wiadomosci, nawet na kilka miesiecy wstecz.

Pozdrawiam serdecznie,

Important message regarding US elections

We Polish Americans shall also fight for the principles of America, the country we adopted when many of us escaped from the opressive communist system. This is my contribution in the discussion as to "Who should be our the next President." Please consider the following videos when you think of who to vote for in the 2008 Presidential elections.

Does your candidate deal with the very important issues in America? I did not make these videos. My contribution is to inform you about the links to this vital information:

Call 1 cent per minute from USA to Poland !!!!!!!!

PLEASE SUPPORT POLONIASF.ORG BY PURCHASING CALLING CARDS THERE
http://poloniasf.pushline.com/p/?id_from_country=182&idcountry=157

We tested many calling cards which are available at www.PoloniaSF.org
To get them you need to click on the card picture in the upper left corner. You will see many cards to pick from. They all deliver superb quality, but the differences are in maintenance fees, taxes and access numbers. Some of the cards can be used from Poland, few can be used with a web interface, where you can connect any two phones in the world. That way you can call from Poland to US for just 3 cents per minute - card CONTINENTAL. There is no connection fee on any card.

Here are other recommendations depending on your calling pattern:
CHEAP STREET - Frequent and long calls - effective rate (including taxes and maintenance fee) 1.5 to 2.5 cents per minute
JUPITER - Infrequent calls, can call from Canada and Russia - effective rate (no maintenance fee, including taxes and rounding) 2.5 - 3.0 cents per minute
BIZON - Infrequent calls - can call from many countries in Europe, but not Poland - effective rate (as above) 3.5 to 3.8 cents per minute - INCLUDING ALL TAXES!!!

The best thing is that there is no obligation to continue, no phone hookup. You have a complete freedom in your decisions. PoloniaSF.org receives 10% of the commission. Currently it amounts to few dollars per month. The funds help to offset the expenses the volunteers pay in order to run the web site. Please help by asking your friends to purchase the calling cards at www.PoloniaSF.org
