Outstanding oration III...




Sorry to be a bit behind the curve but I have been (and will be some more next week) in rural Central and South America. The Donald in outstanding form. The hour came years ago; has - at long last - the man cometh?  President Trump's "remarks" to the People of Poland last week, full text HERE; video HERE.


"This continent no longer confronts the specter of communism. But today we’re in the West, and we have to say there are dire threats to our security and to our way of life. You see what’s happening out there. They are threats. We will confront them. We will win. But they are threats."..."We are confronted by another oppressive ideology - one that seeks to export terrorism and extremism all around the globe. America and Europe have suffered one terror attack after another. We’re going to get it to stop."...



..."Finally, on both sides of the Atlantic, our citizens are confronted by yet another danger -- one firmly within our control. This danger is invisible to some but familiar to the Poles: the steady creep of government bureaucracy that drains the vitality and wealth of the people. The West became great not because of paperwork and regulations but because people were allowed to chase their dreams and pursue their destinies."



..."What we have, what we inherited from our -- and you know this better than anybody, and you see it today with this incredible group of people -- what we've inherited from our ancestors has never existed to this extent before. And if we fail to preserve it, it will never, ever exist again. So we cannot fail."
 



..."Our citizens did not win freedom together, did not survive horrors together, did not face down evil together, only to lose our freedom to a lack of pride and confidence in our values. We did not and we will not. We will never back down."

These are just snippets.

Oblectation over osiedle ounces...







More of the same?

...maybe. A German and a Pole have contracted a law firm in Walbrzych, Poland (did you know...) who say they have found a train rumoured to be a missing Nazi gold train that disappeared in World War Two. Polish media say the men want 10% of the value of the train's contents.



The train - presuming it's the one they think it is - "which has become infamous in local folklore" is said to have up to 300 tonnes of gold on board. A metric tonne is just under 35,274 ounces so if true we're talking 10.5 MILLION ounces, which at today's gold price that's a very cool 12 BILLION USD; not to mention other treasures that may be aboard.
