I think he was joking by interpreting 'essay' as literally 'an essay for school' and referencing the fact that Poland is so hosed that such an essay would've been way too long for you to ask someone else to do it. i.e. Baronjutter posted:Catholicism + Nationalism + Historical Trauma + Lack of Regard for Fundamental Rights due to the Constitution Having Been Written Barely 20 Years Ago by a Commie + 90s Mass Selling of National Assets to Western Companies Now Conflated with the EU + Disillusionment with Failing Neoliberal Policies + The Entirety of the Left Being Branded Communists + Mass Emigration + ...

So has anyone here seen the news about Paul Manaforts daughters text messages getting hacked and leaked? She implicated her father in the killings of protestors during the Euromaidan. "You know he has killed people in Ukraine? Knowingly," Andrea Manafort allegedly wrote of her father in March 2015 in an angry series of texts to her sister, Jessica, about her father's personal and professional life. Check it out http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/10/politics/ukraine-manafort-hacked-texts/index.html

We know from last fall right before he stopped working for Trump's campaign Manafort had a hand in Crimea being taken over by Russia, so this doesn't surprise me. What I find troubling is the latest news on Flynn. Not only was he in contact with Russia, but it appears he was a foreign agent for Turkey as well. Syria pops into my head.

I don't have particularly cogent thoughts on the matter, but I don't like the rise of leaks and hacks as news stories (whistle blowing is a separate matter). That said, if this is true, of course it's for the better that we know.

Zeman really was Trump-lite before Trump even Trumped. The short version is that he travels around the country, pretending not to campaign, spends a ton of money on transportation, security and catering while the local authorities have to pick up the tab: quote:Costs for refreshments during presidential visits in 2016  http://zpravy.idnes.cz/zeman-kraje-cesty-penize-089-/domaci.aspx?c=A170310_212901_domaci_och https://translate.google.com/transl..._och&edit-text=

Dear Diary, Today I had the misfortune of watching a political discussion on TV. After 5 minutes I decided to go for a smoke to preserve my health and sanity... Highlights included a rulling party representative (one Jacek Sasin) explaining that Saturday's Tusk EU reelection debacle was an inspiring moment showing the guts and the spines of our government, and bringing to light EU's true, tyrannical face. The fucker actually made comparisons to Chairman Mao... In the last three days all of our pro-PiS media crawled froum under their dung piles to prove that our government's most recent humiliation was actually a grand moral victory with headlines like: "EU's democracy standards laid bare by Poland", "German candidate forced as European Council president", and (i poo poo you not) "Volksdeutsh in charge of Europe" I'm constantly surprised how any PiS-apologist in the media manages to somehow avoid their throat catchig fire as they speak...

A question about Flynn: how does an American (former army general too) end up in Ukraine working for a Russian puppet and help to put down pro Western protests? Like I know I'm being naive here because lots of money was involved but I still can't figure out why the Yanukovic government hired an American to help them. Are there not enough Ukrainians willing to sell out the country to Russia? It sure seems like there's plenty since the pro Russian insurgency began. What am I missing here? Edit: I think I'm mixing up Flynn and Manafort. But it's not so hard to mix up all the trump administration people that have dealings with Russia.

Manafort has a long history of using the tricks he learned from shadiest of GOP operatives to help out shadey strongmen (Ferdinand Marcos!) in troubled countries, as well as using his Republican connections to lobby for them in US. Any involvement in putting down for protests would be weird, indeed, though, that's really not his thing.

Also, Tusk was elected despite the objections of his home country which means he has no legal mandate somehow and that he now can't claim to be doing anything in Polish interest (since our national interest is whatever PiS says it is).

Well if those hacked text messages from Manaforts daughter are real, then it certainly seems like he had a hand in violent suppression of protests in Ukraine. But I guess if your career is assisting dictators then thats just part of the job.

So... There has been much hubbub in Ukraine over arrest of the head of State Fiscal Service in a case run by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, since he is quite connected to Powers That Be. Today, his wife posted his bail, of 100 million UAH. Doubtlessly all earned honestly.

MOSCOW — A lawyer representing the family of Sergei L. Magnitsky, a Russian auditor and lawyer who died in prison in 2009 after uncovering a $230 million fraud targeting an American-born financier, suffered severe head injuries on Tuesday after plunging from his Moscow apartment building. Russian news organizations said the lawyer, Nikolai Gorokhov, fell while helping movers carry a hot tub up to his fourth-floor apartment. They showed photographs of a shattered tub outside the building. The financier, William F. Browder, said Mr. Gorokhov was to appear in a Moscow court on Wednesday to appeal on behalf of Mr. Magnitsky’s mother for an investigation into new evidence relating to the fraud scheme first exposed by Mr. Magnitsky. “Basically, there is a trail of dead and seriously injured people leading from the Magnitsky case,” Mr. Browder said in a telephone interview early Wednesday. He said Russia’s post-Soviet version of the K.G.B., the Federal Security Service, or F.S.B., “is doing everything it can to shut down any serious investigation.” Whether Mr. Gorokhov’s injuries were the result of an accident or foul play, the episode became the latest gruesome twist in a story that began when Mr. Magnitsky blew the whistle on what he believed was a tax rebate fraud involving official collusion and targeting Mr. Browder, who ran an investment company in Moscow, Hermitage Capital, from 1996 to 2005. The Russian authorities have accused Mr. Browder, a British citizen who now lives in London, of orchestrating the fraud that he and Mr. Magnitsky attributed to criminals working in collusion with law enforcement authorities. Mr. Gorokhov is a major witness in a case brought by American prosecutors against a Cypriot company accused of laundering some of the proceeds from the fraud. Mr. Magnitsky, who was jailed in Moscow after speaking out about the fraud, died in 2009 after being denied essential medical care. His death earned the Kremlin widespread condemnation and led the United States Congress in 2012 to enact the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act, aimed at punishing the officials involved in the arrest and subsequent mistreatment of Mr. Browder’s lawyer. A Russian opposition politician, Vladimir Kara-Murza, who has since urged Congress to expand the economic sanctions imposed by the Magnitsky Act, has twice become seriously ill in the past two years from a mystery ailment that his family says was caused by poisoning.
