It's time for us all to realize that the mainstream media is a global corporation whose employees are required to be absolutely loyal, available and be ready to follow orders. The company's policy is the most important thing and there is no room for nuances, and even less for doubts and inquisitive questions. Enthusiasm is not even required of ordinary media employees, what is important is that they would follow orders in the belief that they are fulfilling the highest mission of transforming lies into a propaganda message.
You can quickly see that the propaganda served by the CBC in Canada and other mainstream media on the American continent, such as CNN and the New York Times, is cooked in the same pot as the news in Poland. It is supposed to poison minds in a similar way, although it is doused in a different sauce to suit the tastes and mentality of the audience in different parts of the world.
Hence, the head of the largest daily newspaper in Poland, ‘Gazeta Wyborcza’, Adam Michnik, echoes the American ‘fake news’ that President Donald Trump is a modern Hitler. Michnik, once a respected oppositionist to the communist regime, was years ago exposed by the greatest contemporary Polish poet, Zbigniew Herbert, who called him an ‘intellectual fraudster’. Today this epithet is just a delicate, euphemistic description of the character and role of this individual in Polish culture and political life.
The presidential elections are underway in the United States. These are probably the most important elections in American history and also the most important elections for the entire globe, because the fate of the free world, democracy and probably the fate of the entire Western civilization depend on their result. As Elon Musk said: ‘if Donald Trump doesn’t win, these may be the last elections’, because the ‘democrats’ will not give up power, transforming the system into a completely totalitarian machine.
That is why the globalists, the ‘Deep State’, who control almost the entire Western political and social structure, are doing everything to prevent Trump from winning. Two assassination attempts failed, and now active preparations are underway for electoral manipulations to guarantee victory to the only right candidate, Kamala.
The media are the driving force behind this campaign of deception and lies. A sad and pathetic example is the media in Poland, aggressively and shamelessly promoting Kamala Harris and throwing mud at Trump whenever possible. On the surface, this has no significance, but the clear message is directed towards the American Polish community. It is known that there are 10 million citizens of Polish origin living in the United States and they are the ones being persuaded to vote for the candidate who will supposedly ensure the security of Poland and the whole of Europe.
As a consolation, we can write that there is a large group of citizen journalists who are trying to objectively present the situation and reveal the truth to a wide audience, which is being brainwashed on a massive scale in the public media. The new team of globalist Tusk, winning the elections last year, immediately took over the media under the slogan: "free media". After a year, it is clear that their real goal was to zealously implement the principles laid bare in Orwell's novel "1984". As a result, as everywhere else, in the media space we have only a shadow of truth and decency—-“enslaved media" serving to humiliate and incapacitate citizens.
Marshall MacLuhan created the concept of the "global village". In the global village, news spread at lightning speed, but it could be freely interpreted and analyzed, reaching the truth, in accordance with the journalistic vocation. Today, we live rather in a global prison, where there is no place for journalism, and all news must have the same propaganda message. They are to serve the creation of a new man and build a new world: on a foundation of sand, on lies and crime.

I am a Polish Canadian poet, writer, journalist, editor and videographer. I have published many poetry books, and received prestigious awards, including best poetry book debut in Poland. In Canada, I published the literary and arts magazine “Oceanic Letter” for almost ten years. Now I am publisher and editor-in-chief of the online magazine Polska Canada. I interviewed Nobel Prize winner Joseph Brodsky, Canadian composer Marjan Mozetich and many others. My journalism is devoted to subjects silenced in the mainstream media. I have written articles on Freedom Convoy for readers in Poland, and I am publishing summaries of uncovered news which matters to our freedoms and fight against a liberal, globalist agenda and political correctness narrative. In 2018 together with Canadians Captains Barry and Matt Sheehy and Paul Sheehy I went to Poland, invited by Polish Government officials, to honour Polish and Canadian soldiers, who fought in WWII. I have made a video, documenting the trip.
Right now I am in Poland for personal reasons, but also to cover the dangerous pro-war propaganda and Poland’s involvement in the conflict in Ukraine. I would love to contribute to Canadian independent media coverage of the complex situation in Europe, and share my experiences with my fellow Canadians. I am thinking of short video presentations and brief articles, written from the point of view of a Polish Canadian, who has roots in European culture.
