Polish geopolitics
In Poland, similarly, As in many countries of the world can now see a renaissance of interest in geopolitics. This interest, as is usual in the case of popular topics, but has largely superficial. In the media, all sorts of paper and electronic autoramentu use every day terms, "geopolitics" and "geopolitical" in disarming even any way. Despite this media buzz original achievements of the Polish geopolitics, developed since the second half of the nineteenth century, remains rather unknown, except for a narrow academic and expert - paradoxically, because its creators usually address their works to the broad masses readers.
course, be taken into account that during the period of communist rule geopolityków work of Polish rule, they can not re-appear due to ideological censorship; slipped her only the choice of letters Wakar Vladimir (1885-1933), issued in 1984 under the title "Polish corridor whether a German enclave ." Two decades, however, a lot of time to make up for this kind of backlog. Yet within twenty years after the (alleged) "the fall of communism" in the (allegedly) "free Poland" resumed (twice - in 1994 and 2009) only one of the canonical works of the Polish geopolitics: " Between Germany and Russia " (1937) by Adolf Bochenski (1909-1944), and some of the smaller letters Bączkowski Vladimir (1905-2000) .
publishing on this desert real appreciation should arouse the initiative of the right-wing publications Antiquity. It recently gave into the hands of readers at a time four outstanding work geopolitics Studnicki Wladyslaw (1867-1953) - Book: "Russia in East Asia" (1904), "The Polish " (1910), "The question of Czechoslovakia a Polish raison d'etat " (1938) and "In the coming II nd World War " (1939).
Studnicki - monarchist, conservative and nationalist - before World War I was the leading theoretician of the anti-Russian irredentism, as one of the first began to promote the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating Polish armed units to fight against Russia. In 1914, he called for the construction of the way of war " Polish state złączonego real or dynastic union with Austria and Hungary ." Revived Polish state was characterized far protruding its eastern borders, based on the Dvina and Berezina line or even the upper Dnieper. Studnicki provided for the inclusion of the Volyn, the land of Kaunas and parts of Latvia. His vision was to become the Liepaja port city Polish, Poland geoekonomiczny providing access to the Baltic. For many years, remained a widespread perception that it is this proniemiecko oriented thinker and policies led to the publication by the Emperors Wilhelm II and Franz Joseph I in 1916, the Act of 5 November, reproducing the Polish Kingdom (whose gradual elimination, distributed in time for many years successively carat conducted in retaliation for the January Uprising). In the interwar period promoted a project to build Studnicki bloc countries of Central and Eastern Europe, united under the aegis of Germany (with optional participation of France), in which the second most important position would take Poland. This concept sparked a discussion in the French parliament and nervous reactions USSR authorities, concerned about its anti-Soviet edge. During World War II Studnicki repeatedly tried - with the consent of the Underground State, or even at their command - obtain from the German government's suspension of the Polish criminal policy of mass repression, persecution of the population and destruction of property of national culture. These tests cost him his internment in Germany (1940) and the Pawiak prison (1941-1943).
Most of the excavated from oblivion by the work of Antiquity geopolitical Studnicki is resumed for the first time since its original publication. The exception is the book "In the coming II of World War , resumed earlier by Adam Marshall Torun outbuilding in the years 2000-2002, published in a four-volume selection of letters thinker. Giving due credit for publishing Torun character and heritage restoration Studnicki Polish readers, it is now noted that it has not kept the integrity of texts that were full of leaves. Prepared by Antique disobedient edition of the works is the conservative nature of the reprint, giving the reader the possibility of direct contact with their original text, without any interference from the publisher.
Rejoicing in the return of Polish geopolitics on the shelves of bookstores, waiting now for the resumption of work geopolitical prof. Eugene hr. Romer (1871-1954), prof. Smolensky George (1881-1940), prof. Stanislaw Pawlowski (1882-1940), Col. Henry Baginski (1888-1973), Col. Ignacy Matuszewski (1891-1946), Stanisław Cat-Mackiewicz (1896-1966), doc. Konstanty Grzybowski (1901-1970), Cpt. Niezbrzyckiego George (1902-1968), prof. Kiełczewski-Zaleska Maria (1906-1980), Major geostrategic Roman Roman Umiastowski (1893-1982), Professor geohistorycznych. Oscar Halecki (1891-1973) and prof. Zygmunt Wojciechowski (1900-1955). Ownership by people both living and independent thinking geopolitical and geostrategic condition is critical sine qua non for the implementation by the independent foreign policy and strategy. Contemporary Polish, completely devoid of self-reliance in these latter areas, it never fails to recover without intensive work on the development of the former.

Speech Falange spokesman, Ronald Laseckiego the anniversary of the entry into force of the Washington Treaty
24 August 1949 he entered into force on the North Atlantic Treaty, which gave rise to today's North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. Both the historical fact as well established as a consequence of NATO deserve a negative rating. Below I will try to indicate briefly why I think so.
Policy Foreign and international distribution of power are closely related with the occurrence of a specific ideology in the area, which is subject to the domination of a particular medium strength. It is easy to see that international communism współzależało interaction with the possibilities of the projection of force by states to institutional vehicles. Previously, life conservative and traditionalist ideas associated with the force of countries and institutions of standing on their guard. The old European monarchies affiliated to the Holy Alliance and defended themselves were an emanation of the idea of \u200b\u200bthe Restoration. Since that times, nothing has changed and is still a chance to organize life on the model of a specific temporal order depends on the strength of ideas, skills and background of those who organize the tasks that they undertake.
With this observation in mind is, you must indicate the historical and geopolitical consequences of the subordination of the American hegemon of Europe within NATO. U.S. hegemony is no military dimension, which is the expression of NATO, the dimension of this, however, is not restricted. This is achieved through ideological and cultural interaction, transforming Europeans' awareness so that they co-ownership to a community of Americans and identify with their values, ideology and point of view. In this way, the relationship ceases to be something being enforced, it becomes acceptable to the state, natural and desirable. Recognizing the insidious nature of Americanism, Italian traditionalist philosopher Julius Evola (1898-1974) wrote in 1945 " of the two great dangers threatening Europe - Americanism and communism - the first of these is more insidious. Indeed the threat of communism takes the form of a brutal and disastrous; means the direct seizure of power by the communists. Meanwhile, proceeds by the gradual Americanization of indoctrination, involving a change of mentality and the transformation of secondary spheres of morality, resulting in a major upheaval and decay, which can only lead to counteract the internal struggle. "Pointing to the struggle waged inside his own soul as the only way to resist Americanization, Evola was wrong. Indeed Americanism feeds on economic power, media and military of the United States and its client states. Dependence of the military makes a political relationship, which in turn translates into concrete measures in the internal politics, the economy, in education. Flood of U.S. movies, cartoons, comic books, serials, literature, American toys, modeled on the American way of being, ways of organizing entertainment and leisure activities are possible in terms of liberal, releasing the free flow of ideas, goods, services and people, the policies pursued by the ruling oligarchy, which legitimized their authority by means of suitably processed in the United States demoliberalnej ideology. Member retain independence from the United States, without distinction, whether they are traditionalist Iran, Communist Cuba or North Korea, a socialist Venezuela, Bolivia or Ecuador, more or less consistently isolate it and thus, using applied by protectionism, protect their own people from the flood U.S. rot.
Countries such as these, like other autonomous centers of power to the United States or only to the role of the aspirants, among whom may be mentioned both the traditionalist Islamic fundamentalists of Hamas and Hezbollah and the Latin American left-wing populists and nationalists like brothers Ollanta Humala and Antaure from Peru, undermine the ideological and political monopoly of the United States, pluralizują international relations, undermine the monocentric nature of world order, objectively contribute to the dispersion, and thus, to a more even distribution of political forces. That is why the proliferation of such initiatives expanding the capacity of all actors kontestatorskich, crushes and smashes demoliberalny monolith of contemporary globalization, exposes the lie democratic-prawoczłowieczego brave new world.
opposite trend represents NATO, on the one hand fixing the American domination of Europe and to allow Americans to freely use of European resources, on the other hand, used to derive from it beats the centers of Americanization is based, even so, as was the case in Serbia , during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where NATO in 1992-1995 udzielało help opponents of Serbia, or war in Kosovo between March and April 1999, Units and potential of European NATO members have also been used to pacify the United States occupied by Afghanistan and Iraq. The use of NATO beyond its treaty area, it became possible as a result of a series of decisions taken in 1992 by the chief of the management body of the Alliance in the form of the North Atlantic Council, international law and the lack of self-identification of NATO as a "regional agreement" in giving him the beginning of the Washington Treaty.
NATO is an instrument of strengthening, preservation and expansion of monocentric international order conducive to the invasion of another country by Americanism. Americanism is nothing like having no identity, and cut off from the past. American self-made man is being without history, past and traditions. He is convinced that he can be whoever he wants, provided that the acquisition of appropriate qualifications. Differences between people, like the concept of distance and respect in this case, they lose all meaning. Abolished, personality and diversity. Belonging to the formless world of quantity of individualism among Americans replaced the unknown and incomprehensible to them for their primitive minds, the concept of personality. Americans are being uprooted, of which the image is not a face but a mask. American mask changes, depending on the external pressure, which it is subjected, but it is empty inside, like a zombie . Professing materialism, American lives would be richer. Possessions and material success are the measure of human worth. It knows no time and rooted in history, does not know the duty, honor, tradition. Patriotism comes from the constitutionally granted freedoms and political rights in the face of tax increases do not mean for it to his loyalty to the emperor and his dynasty. Americans do not understand that man lives on earth in order to get rich, but to reach a higher dimension of existence, which is a state of mind, which is for Americans unreachable. American civilization is replaced organicyzm mechanism. Nature, landscape, there are not a deposit, which must be carefully nurtured and treated with love and respect due to the beautiful and kunsztownemu work of creation, but rabunkowo operated source of resources. Americans do not know love - rustic women dedicate themselves to just anyone and anyhow, let obłapiać after only a superficial reading, because intimacy is to them the same rank as scratch his head. Cold, washed with emotion and devoid of spiritual depth is a true American son of the modern age - the time of numbers, equipment, exchange rates, cell phones, "cybersexu, hamburgers and fast food chains, falsely and wrongly called sometimes" restaurants. " American is a bastard of Protestantism and liberalism.

What Does Seman Look Like Under A Blacklight
philosophy and the special services of the republic
In 1999 appeared an article on unusual thought eminent conservative philosopher Leo Strauss Policy (1899-1973). He wore the title of " Leo Strauss and the World of Intelligence " and was written by two American authors - Abram Shulsky'ego and Garry Schmitt. Shulsky, himself a trained philosopher, he studied with Strauss, and under his direction prepared his doctoral thesis. Became known, however, not so much by his achievements in the field of philosophy as a director in 2002-2003, the existing Office of Special Plans - an American intelligence cell, which has actively participated in the preparation of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Then he headed the Board on Iran - an institution established in 2006 to fight with the Iranian intelligence. The second author, Garry Schmitt, in the early eighties he was on the intelligence committee in the U.S. Senate. From 1984-1988 he was Director of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Foreign Intelligence, and later worked in the Consortium include Studies in the Working Group on Intelligence Reform and as an advisor to the U.S. Department of Defense. Shulsky and Schmitt argued that the political philosophy of Strauss can be successfully applied in the methods of analysis used by the U.S. intelligence centers, which will correct some weaknesses of existing analytical work of the latter.
bond with each other areas such seemingly disparate as philosophy and activities of special services, the original and seemingly eccentric point of view. However - perhaps not unfounded, since, as shown in the above example, Strauss's philosophical thinking has led his students to high positions in the vertical analysis of U.S. intelligence. In fact, students of philosophy, often checked on the field of information service, putting on him quiet, but unmistakable contributions to their homelands. Numbered among them the famous English historian Arnold Toynbee (1889-1975), who during World War I served in the Department of Political Intelligence and Information Department of the British Foreign Office (where he worked mainly with the problems of Western Asia, but also periodically, eg Polish). There is no lack of similar cases and on our home soil. Pilsudski Adam Skwarczyński political thinker (1886-1934), graduate philosophical Jan Kazimierz University in Lvov, in early August 1914 he became deputy commander of the Intelligence Bureau (also known as the Intelligence Division) of the First Brigade of the Polish Legions, and he held it continuously to eliminate this institutions in May 1915, he also studied philosophy Stanislaus Baczynski (father of Krzysztof Kamil Baczynski), during World War I commander of the Intelligence Branch-diversion in the Polish Military Organization. In 1919, Baczynski was seconded to serve in the Second Division of the General Staff - the emerging military special services of an independent Polish. Under the framework, led the Polish diversionary activities during the Third Silesian Uprising. Finally, you mention the outstanding piłsudczyku, master conspiracy Józewskim * Henry (1892-1981). Józewski In 1917-1919 secret co Supreme Command III POW, which falls in Kiev. Initially responsible for its political history, then commanded the whole of its activities. During the expedition Kiev held the position of Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, supported by the Polish State Semen Petlura Ukrainian government. In 1924, work published under the pseudonym of "Hamlet", which deals inter alia philosophical aspects of drama and theater. After 1945, the head of an anti-political intelligence, which provided information to the Polish authorities in exile until 1948,
question whether the preparation of philosophical (or, more broadly, the field of humanities) may play a role in the work of staff information state, is the seemingly odd in an era, it would seem the overwhelming dominance of electronics and high technology in such areas. Trying to answer, Schmitt and Shulsky in that article pointed out that in the initial period of the Cold War, American intelligence institutions zachłysnęły the (increasingly fashionable then) modern research methods (neopozytywistycznych), social sciences, perceived by them as extremely useful for analyzing information collected and, in particular, forecasting of future decisions and actions of foreign countries. For this reason, began to neglect both the knowledge acquired from strictly operational methods, typically intelligence (so-called "black intelligence"), as well as knowledge of the enemy discharge measurements are critical, skillful analysis of materials derived from public sources (so-called "white history"). As a result, the effectiveness of U.S. intelligence has decreased and many of his predictions based on a novel approach turned out to be in the next few years nietrafnymi. And here comes the philosophy. Philosophy is largely a science of understanding the reality (epistemology), and therefore also of ułomnościach and limitations ways of learning available to man, the realities of false, misleading appearances, going fikcjach reality ułudach, fraud and zwodzicielach, as well as their methods of recognition, of cunning traps on the human mind, the apparent facts, and finally the hidden truths and hard discernible. Philosophy teaches you how not to get easily tricked into reality sham, do not draw any hasty conclusions on insufficient grounds. The difficulty of accurate recognition of reality, delusional, and remaining in constant motion, and the movement on its path full of traps, posted in his philosophical reflections Józewski Henry, a veteran spy and emissary of the political, which summarizes his views as an American biographer, Professor. Timothy Snyder: " action, argued the reality for what it seems at the moment, accepting a convincing illusion resulting from the accumulation of sensory information. The person who takes action, imperceptible changes in the way an infinite number of aspects of reality, like a stone falling into the sea causes the waves beneath its surface. Contemplation takes into account the reality, however, carries with it immediate awareness of his own limitations. A person recognizes the limits of its contemplative understanding, defines the surface, beyond which the eye does not reach. Józewski argued, however, that these limits allow the rational perception of events. "** Recall earlier the U.S. Intelligence Community analysts in a similar vein, emphasize the method of Leo Strauss's philosophy, rooted in its subtleties, its ability to focus on detail, his consequent success in zaglądaniu beneath the surface and reading between the lines, and his apparent distancing" . For Strauss's most famous achievements were, after the discovery of art, "esoteric" writing works of art and science of formulation of reaching their true, hidden by the media outsiders - what might be termed philosophical cryptology. However
paradoxically it sounds, some preparation in philosophy or humanities in general, it may be desirable in specific work done by the State Information Service. In the opinion of the author of this (to be understood - amateur), sources in the analysis and forecasting activities of other centers of power could for example, be used as an important area for the humanities, like hermeneutics. In essence, it is not nothing else than a theory to decipher the true meanings of documents, scanning contexts in which they appear, reconstructing the ways of thinking and reasoning of strangers - the science of penetration from the outside to the center of people's minds. And this is the art of intelligence and counterintelligence priorities. Adam Danek

During the expedition Kiev held the position of Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, supported by the Polish State Semen Petlura Ukrainian government. In 1924, work published under the pseudonym of "Hamlet", which deals inter alia philosophical aspects of drama and theater. After 1945, the head of an anti-political intelligence, which provided information to the Polish authorities in exile until 1948,
question whether the preparation of philosophical (or, more broadly, the field of humanities) may play a role in the work of staff information state, is the seemingly odd in an era, it would seem the overwhelming dominance of electronics and high technology in such areas. Trying to answer, Schmitt and Shulsky in that article pointed out that in the initial period of the Cold War, American intelligence institutions zachłysnęły the (increasingly fashionable then) modern research methods (neopozytywistycznych), social sciences, perceived by them as extremely useful for analyzing information collected and, in particular, forecasting of future decisions and actions of foreign countries. For this reason, began to neglect both the knowledge acquired from strictly operational methods, typically intelligence (so-called "black intelligence"), as well as knowledge of the enemy discharge measurements are critical, skillful analysis of materials derived from public sources (so-called "white history"). As a result, the effectiveness of U.S. intelligence has decreased and many of his predictions based on a novel approach turned out to be in the next few years nietrafnymi. And here comes the philosophy. Philosophy is largely a science of understanding the reality (epistemology), and therefore also of ułomnościach and limitations ways of learning available to man, the realities of false, misleading appearances, going fikcjach reality ułudach, fraud and zwodzicielach, as well as their methods of recognition, of cunning traps on the human mind, the apparent facts, and finally the hidden truths and hard discernible. Philosophy teaches you how not to get easily tricked into reality sham, do not draw any hasty conclusions on insufficient grounds. The difficulty of accurate recognition of reality, delusional, and remaining in constant motion, and the movement on its path full of traps, posted in his philosophical reflections Józewski Henry, a veteran spy and emissary of the political, which summarizes his views as an American biographer, Professor. Timothy Snyder: " action, argued the reality for what it seems at the moment, accepting a convincing illusion resulting from the accumulation of sensory information. The person who takes action, imperceptible changes in the way an infinite number of aspects of reality, like a stone falling into the sea causes the waves beneath its surface. Contemplation takes into account the reality, however, carries with it immediate awareness of his own limitations. A person recognizes the limits of its contemplative understanding, defines the surface, beyond which the eye does not reach. Józewski argued, however, that these limits allow the rational perception of events. "** Recall earlier the U.S. Intelligence Community analysts in a similar vein, emphasize the method of Leo Strauss's philosophy, rooted in its subtleties, its ability to focus on detail, his consequent success in zaglądaniu beneath the surface and reading between the lines, and his apparent distancing" . For Strauss's most famous achievements were, after the discovery of art, "esoteric" writing works of art and science of formulation of reaching their true, hidden by the media outsiders - what might be termed philosophical cryptology. However
paradoxically it sounds, some preparation in philosophy or humanities in general, it may be desirable in specific work done by the State Information Service. In the opinion of the author of this (to be understood - amateur), sources in the analysis and forecasting activities of other centers of power could for example, be used as an important area for the humanities, like hermeneutics. In essence, it is not nothing else than a theory to decipher the true meanings of documents, scanning contexts in which they appear, reconstructing the ways of thinking and reasoning of strangers - the science of penetration from the outside to the center of people's minds. And this is the art of intelligence and counterintelligence priorities. Adam Danek
* For fourteen years without a break (1939-1953) led underground activities in the country and never in this time he was captured.
