The principal goal of our western neighbor at the moment is
the federalization of the EU under its control.

Prof. Wojciech Polak

I don’t know what political scientists are doing at the moment, some of them are probably analyzing geopolitical arrangements in the time of Chancellor Bismarck, but I want to meekly point out that what is happening at the moment in Europe and the world should be the subject of deep analysis, from which some practical conclusions should be drawn (and this is, unfortunately, the hardest thing to do).

We are living at a turning point in world history. What happens in the next few years will probably determine the history of the whole century. Let us put the facts in order, bearing in mind, in particular, the situation of Poland.

Germany’s main objective? Federalization

The European Union is, in fact, already completely controlled by Germany. Our western neighbor’s main objective is to federalize the Union and make it into a single state, formally governed by Brussels but actually from Berlin. The main course of action is to ‘green’ Europe by imposing various and very costly taxes and legal restrictions to reduce CO2 emissions. With this method, Germany wanted to significantly restrict and hamper industrial production and energy generation by other EU countries – including Poland. This would target competition for their goods, which are now becoming increasingly poor in quality (Germany already has a negative foreign trade balance). Berlin’s aim is also to turn Central Europe into an economically underdeveloped colony, providing cheap labor and raw materials. Berlin was aware that the whole operation would lead to a considerable decline in the competitiveness of European goods worldwide. It would impoverish the citizens of the EU and make it difficult for them to function normally (e.g., by imposing electric cars – expensive, unreliable, and unsuitable for further travel). The German planners did not and do not mind. Germany made a deal (probably in the winter of this year) with Russia to realize these intentions.

On the one hand, they agreed to Putin’s occupation of Ukraine, installing a pro-Russian government there and annexing further Ukrainian territories to Russia. On the other hand, Russia promised to send cheap gas to Germany (Nord Stream 2 was also to be launched), on the distribution of which in Europe, Berlin was to make additional money and strengthen its influence. Russian gas was to become the second factor facilitating the federalization of Europe, alongside ecology. Germany counted on the war in Ukraine to last a week at most. They also assumed that there would be some pro forma protests and then, after a few weeks, everything would return to the so-called normal.

However, the implementation of the plan encountered difficulties. The heroic defense of the Ukrainians has lasted almost five months, with the Russians committing horrific acts of terror and genocide. The Germans must therefore join (reluctantly and unwillingly) in the protests against Russian aggression and crimes, albeit with very few weapons being handed over to Ukraine. However, impatient Russians are threatening Berlin with a complete cut-off of gas supplies, which has recently caused an unheard-of panic on the banks of the Spree River.

Poland’s role

Our country plays a vital role in this whole jigsaw. The Germans see the subjugation of Poland and setting it up in a classic neo-colonial role as one of their primary objectives. For them, this would also be tantamount to regaining (in some sense) the territories lost in 1945 that they remember (although they pretend not to remember). Thus, the Germans are striving at all costs to install a government in Poland that would favor them (as Kisiel said: “Guess, my dear, whose government it is to be?”). For Angela Merkel and her successor, the tool for blocking the functioning of Polish industry is the financial sanctions applied to Poland by the Germans through the European Commission. The blocking of our subsidies and COVID loan relief to the tune of €70 billion as punishment for alleged violations of the rule of law is the sole credit of our neighbors from across the Oder River. One of their motives is the fear that such a huge sum could further fuel our economy. What is most outrageous is the fact that now, when Poles are providing such significant assistance to Ukrainian refugees (who number up to 4 million) and are spending huge sums of money on this, Germany (under the guise of the European Union, of course) is blocking our subsidies and making us pay compensation for the unfulfilled and at the same time unlawful and absurd decisions of the CJEU. I am already leaving aside the fact that we have not been given any financial support in our extensive and costly aid operations for Ukrainian refugees. After all, it would be naïve to expect anything from the world’s most stingy and greedy country, which is precisely what Germany is.

These ‘milestones’ and empty promises by Ursula von der Leyen only serve to pull the wool over our eyes. You can no longer believe a word she says. After all, she is not following orders from EU bodies but simply from the German Federal Government, albeit under the guise of the European Commission. Compliance with the demands of this European Commission (e.g., regarding the abolition of the Disciplinary Chamber of Poland’s Supreme Court) only results in more bold demands. One can guess that further demands such as allowing homosexual marriages, adopting children by homosexuals, including the ‘non-binary’ gender option in identity cards, etc., will soon follow.

Berlin’s anti-Polish actions

I have been saying for many months now that Poland will not get this money. There have been so many anti-Polish moves by Berlin recently that one could write a substantial book about them. One should consider whether to simply accept that we now have two enemies: Russia and Germany. The fact that the German state is our enemy (despite our joint membership in the EU and NATO) has unfortunately not yet reached the consciousness of most Poles. Berlin would like to carry out a vassalization of Poland using the European Commission, the CJEU, and other EU structures. These are very effective tools in the hands of today’s exasperated successors of Friedrich II and Bismarck. The questions then arise: is it really worthwhile for us to remain in the EU? When some absurd financial penalties are being imposed on us when we are being deprived of money owed to us (EUR 70 billion is almost three-quarters of Poland’s annual budget) when we are being forced to pay some macabre taxes for CO2 emissions when our sovereignty is being undermined in the area of the judicial system and dozens of other matters. And when all this serves to build up Germany’s domination over us, should we continue to pretend that being part of the Union benefits us? Is it not better to thank the Germans and their adherents and go our own way? The answer is obvious. Indeed, choosing freedom will cost us a lot and cause us considerable political perturbations, but there is no other choice.

When Russia blocked the gas supply to Poland in April this year, not a single European country declared itself willing to help us. Germany, of course, kept its mouth shut. Today, when Germany is threatened with a gas shortage due to Putin’s cunning, the European Commission calls for all countries, including Poland, to be compulsorily obliged to supply gas to Germany. We should give the Eurocrats a short answer to this proclamation: leave us alone and get on with straightening bananas (to comply with EU standards) or picking asparagus (in Germany). We can do without you!

Professor Bogdan Musiał has made public a 1990 ciphertext of the Polish intelligence service. It says that “it is advantageous from the point of view of Germany to break up political groupings in Poland, assure the emergence of no dominant political party and support divisions within Solidarity.”

Ciphertext No. 3398 was drawn up in June 1990 by a Polish intelligence officer on the basis of information revealed to him by a German agent codenamed “Wolf.” Professor Bogdan Musiał, currently acting director of the Jan Karski Institute for War Losses, says he came across the report during his research work.

Ciphertext No. 3398

The ciphertext reads: “According to ‘Wolf’ and the circles of political and economic advisers to the German government, it is advantageous from the point of view of Germany to have a splitting up of political groupings in Poland, with no dominant party and supporting divisions in Solidarity itself. According to ‘Wolf, the optimum scenario for a then-unifying Germany would be the final disintegration of Solidarity and the rebirth in Poland, from a significant part of its members, of a strong peasant grouping, consisting of several peasant parties supported by the Church.”

The report continues: “According to these assessments, this will effectively hinder the rebirth of stable political life in the Republic of Poland and the emergence of a social stratum of small and medium-sized Polish industrialists on the basis of the reprivatization laws. Thus, a middle class, which in the West plays a decisive role in the country’s development. For Germany, this would create an opportunity for economic expansion (as was the case in the Second Republic) and enable industrial investment in Poland by small and medium-sized German capital. It would also bring Poland closer to Germany’s sphere of direct influence in Eastern Europe.”

Professor Bogdan Musiał admitted that he had learned the contents of the ciphertext some time ago, but decided to reveal it after the publication of the German weekly “Der Spiegel.”  “When ‘Der Spiegel’ wrote about documents of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 1991, they showed that the then-German Chancellor Helmut Kohl wanted to prevent the eastward expansion of NATO and the independence of Ukraine and the Baltic states. He called the collapse of the Soviet Union a ‘catastrophe.’ Reading about this reminded me of a report from the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) archives. This document also dates from those crucial times and says a great deal about the attitude of the Germans towards Poland at the time. I think that now when there is a war in Ukraine, which called to question Germany’s eastern policy, the time is ripe for the public to learn the contents of this ciphertext,” said the professor.

The professor further pointed out that “the report was received by headquarters on June 11, 1990, i.e., practically a year after the partially free elections in Poland, where Solidarity achieved a huge victory. It seemed to everyone that Solidarity would be a strong bloc, which would mean that Poland would become politically stable.”

“We all hoped for some kind of unity, but that is something our western neighbors rather didn’t want, and obviously Russia didn’t either,” he said.

“We don’t know who the agent was”

Professor Bogdan Musiał said it was not known who the Polish officer’s informant, i.e., agent “Wolf”, was. “We also do not know exactly whether ‘Wolf’ realized that he was talking to a Polish agent. My impression is that he did not realize this. However, we know that especially in the Free Democratic Party (FDP) there were agents close to Genscher (German Foreign Minister from 1974 to 1992), his closest collaborator or even he himself was an agent,”  explained Prof. Musiał.

“I have a Russian note of a conversation between Genscher and Gorbachev in early December 1989. This conversation looks as if Gorbachev was Genscher’s superior, as he even chastised him. But this is just my impression; we don’t know that until the end. What we do know is that Genscher was, for example, against Solidarity,” he added.

“German decision-making circles wanted a political breakdown in Poland”

Referring to the content of the report, the professor stressed that it shows that “the German government of the time was interested in a political split in Poland so that no dominant party would emerge, as was the case in Germany, where there was a stable situation and one time one party and another time another won the elections, but it was always possible to create a stable government, which is very important for political stability and the development of the country.”

“As far as Poland is concerned, the German decision-making circles were absolutely interested that the political situation should not stabilize there, that the political groupings should split up, and in particular that a strong party should not emerge from Solidarity. The optimal status from their point of view would have been the eventual break-up of Solidarity and the emergence of peasant parties,” he said.

“The middle class is the key”

Asked why such an arrangement suited the German authorities best, he pointed out that it was calculated that it would “effectively inhibit the rebirth of stable political life in Poland” and assure “the emergence of a class of small and medium-sized Polish industrialists on the basis of reprivatization laws.”

“This is an indication that, without this re-privatization, the middle class, which is of enormous significance for the development of the country, will not be created. We know that in democratic countries the middle class is crucial for economic life,” he said.

Why didn’t the Federal Republic of Germany want a middle class to emerge in Poland along Western lines?  The answer is to be found in the ciphertext. Because it would create opportunities for German economic expansion. It would create investment opportunities in Poland on the part of small and medium-sized German capital, i.e., not only large corporations could enter the Polish market. “This would bring Poland closer to the zone of direct German influence in Eastern Europe,”  the professor quoted from the report.

Professor Bogdan Musiał stressed that “we must have a realistic view of Berlin and its interests, be aware of them, and then it may turn out that these interests are to some extent common and we can act together. We must be aware, however, that Germany has cynically pursued its own interests, and has added to this a moral and ethical packaging.”
