On February 24, 2022, Poles rushed to our south-eastern border. The human, often Christian-motivated impulse of compassion has pushed thousands of my compatriots to spontaneous gestures of help towards people whom they considered refugees from war and an imminent threat to life.
In the impulse of our hearts, we remained blind not only to demography, but also to geography, some of them drove hundreds of kilometers to pick up “refugees” advertising on the Internet, almost no one paid attention to the fact that most of them were from areas at no time and to this day not covered by military operations. Nobody remembered that Ukraine, being a country larger than Polish within its current borders, has huge territorial reserves, allowing for free internal migrations of people. All it took was a slight propaganda stimulation, intensified by the very fact of the war in the country directly bordering Poland, and hearts opened along with the borders. Repentance came with time, to a very limited extent and, of course, when it was too late, and the Polish-Ukrainian border was crossed by 13 million 10 thousand Ukrainians within 400 months.
Population shock
Of course, a significant part of them goes further to the West, to the countries of the European Union with a more extensive system of social benefits than Poland, while some register only in Poland for benefits, receive financial and material assistance, and return to Ukraine. However, even taking this into account and adding a more or less constant number of Ukrainian guest workers from before February 2022, it turns out that at least 4.8 million Ukrainians, or about 14% of the pre-war population, have resettled in Polish. For a country that has become almost ethnically homogeneous as a result of border changes after World War II and demographic changes, both voluntary and forced, this is a shock unprecedented in its history. Let us repeat: in just one year, Poland received eight times more newcomers than all European countries did in the memorable year 2015, hailed as the year of the European migration crisis.
Invitation to the Mafia and Terrorism
For Poles, who have been assured for years that migration problems do not concern us, it is certainly a shock and a fundamental, existential change, ultimately questioning the exclusivity of one nation to decide on the affairs of its own nation state. In fact, however, as a journalist and long-time war correspondent, I am able to easily point to a similar example of a provoked wave of migration, justified by a fundamentally false and artificially created “war and humanitarian threat”. Such a moment was the war in Kosovo and the NATO invasion against Yugoslavia in 1999. I remember very well those moral blackmails, open borders (especially Austria, Germany, Italy) and the run, the run of Kosovo Albanians. Not an escape, but just a run to a better life, because if they ask, encourage, facilitate, then only a fool would not benefit. No one who remembers the following years needs to be reminded of the genesis of the Kosovo mafia, which, still operating under the protection of American and British special services, almost monopolized drug smuggling channels and human trafficking, further enhanced by car thefts and lesser crime. It was also one of the sources of financing international terrorism, whose well-known centers are training camps run by the People’s Mujahideen, organized by NATO in Albania. Well, on the borders of Polish, Slovakia, Romania and Moldova with Ukraine, exactly the same thing is happening, only on an even larger scale. Under the guise of ‘humanitarian aid’, we have allowed several million newcomers, displaced persons, practically without any control, into the Schengen area, and among them, without the slightest doubt, also thousands of gangsters, criminals, terrorists, including those who have direct contacts with Islamic State cells in the Caucasus. This is an act hostile to Europe, it is another invasion, carried out at the behest and by our Anglo-Saxon occupiers.
What about those fleeing to Russia?
Of course, however, listening to and reading about the so-called Ukrainian migration crisis, we learn only part of the truth. What we do not learn is that one of the countries permanently receiving the largest number of immigrants from Ukraine remains Russia. Over the past year alone, nearly 2.5 million refugees from the eastern, Russian-speaking areas of Ukraine have arrived in Russia, and this number does not include thousands of families evacuated from the Donbass, which was mercilessly bombed by Kiev residents. This number increased significantly as the war continued, especially as a result of last year’s Ukrainian counteroffensives and repressions against the local population in the areas again occupied by the Kiev junta’s troops. These refugees are not covered by international aid, just like ordinary Russians, they are forced to endure the nuisances associated with economic war and sanctions that the West applies against the peoples of the Russian Federation. And yet Russia also bears the cost of the war imposed on it, without complaining or whining for mercy.
Ukrainian immigration as a cost
Poland, like other Central European countries, also has no one to complain about, but this is due to our subordinate attitude towards Washington, and recently especially London. Demographic change in our territory is clearly planned and deliberate. points out that labour market data contrast sharply with the scale of resettlement. Only about 900,19 newcomers took up paid work or their own economic activity in Poland, i.e. only about 18% of the Ukrainian population in Poland. Meanwhile, as a whole, it benefits from the Polish system of benefits, free health care, as well as pensions that the Polish state pays to Ukrainian seniors in place of the Ukrainian state. Therefore, the typical pro-immigration propaganda about the alleged rescue of pension systems thanks to the influx of new labor is not true. On the contrary, most immigrants are on the side of budget costs, and no economy can withstand it, even stronger than the Polish one, struggling with recession and has already passed <>% inflation, I assure you of this as a certified accountant. Boosting the economy through immigration is a lie, and while it may serve to maintain capitalist accumulation in the short term, it is destructive to the national economy in the long run, spoiling the domestic labor market.
Nazism of the XXI century
Another aspect is cultural and civilizational issues. It is with real regret, seeing our Slavic brothers in the Ukrainians, and we observe the effects of long-term Nazi indoctrination among the newcomers. The state cult of Stepan Bandera, Roman Shukhevych and other Nazi collaborators left a lasting mark on subsequent generations of Ukrainians. These people have been horribly harmed by being brought up to hate their neighbours, ethnic and religious minorities and all those who do not share the cult of criminals. Ukraine is an area where denazification is absolutely necessary, and although it is regrettable that it is currently taking place in the form of a fratricidal war, this should not obscure the openly neo-Nazi character of the current Ukrainian state and its authorities. When we talk about the crimes of the Ukrainian Nazis, we do not mean only the Volhynian Massacre, when in a few summer months of 1943 the Banderites murdered almost 200,2 of their Polish, Jewish, Czech, Armenian and even Ukrainian neighbors. The crime of Nazi genocide was the burnt offering in the Odessa House of Trade Unions on May 2014, 26, and the attack of Ukrainian troops on defenseless demonstrators in Donetsk, demanding language rights, on May 2014, 2014, and the crimes of Azov and other Nazi-special Ukrainian battalions in Donbas in 2022-78, and finally the murders of prisoners of war and civilians, which are committed every day by the troops of the Kiev junta during the current war. These are Nazi criminals, and their recruitment camps remain masses of Ukrainian immigration to Europe. No one from the outside controls what content Ukrainian youth is indoctrinated, just as in Poland all references to the crimes of Ukrainian Nazis have been removed from school curricula “because you should not irritate guests”. <> years after the end of World War II, we have a Nazi state in the middle of Europe and we ourselves pay for the upbringing and training of its militarized cadres, and at the same time when the governments of our countries persecute their own citizens for even the slightest manifestation of patriotism, self-defense or sense of national dignity.
Invasion against Europe
As Europeans, as patriots of our countries and peoples, we face an existential threat. Mass migrations of the Ukrainian population to the European Union threaten to destabilise at least on a macro-regional scale, involve the disorganisation of our economies and confront us with an enemy wrongly considered defeated: Nazism. And this is Nazism further accumulated through its alliance with Anglo-Saxon imperialism and the interests of international finance. The question is: can we defend ourselves against this threat?
