1 in 10 Poles Would Fight in Any Future War, New Survey Reveals
A recent survey shows that just over 11 percent of Poles are prepared to take up arms and engage in combat should war break out, amidst rising concerns over global conflicts.
In polling conducted for the weekly magazine Wprost, Poles were asked how they would react should the country become involved in a future war.
When asked what they would do if war broke out in Poland, 59 percent said they would definitely remain in the country.
In terms of involvement in any conflict, 11.3 percent would be willing to fight on the frontline, 30 percent expressed a willingness to assist in national defense by other means, and 17.7 percent preferred to avoid any form of involvement.
Additionally, 20.2 percent admitted they would leave the country if war were to erupt, while 20.7 percent remained uncertain of their course of action.
The survey also shed light on traditional gender divisions in attitudes towards conflict: Only 3.8 percent of women were willing to engage in armed actions compared to 19.9 percent of men, illustrating a significant disparity in the willingness to take up arms between genders.
In light of growing geopolitical tensions, a statement by Poland’s PM Donald Tusk highlighted the grim reality facing the nation. “I don’t want to scare anyone, but war is no longer a concept of the past. It’s real, in fact, it started over two years ago. What’s most worrying now is that literally every scenario is possible. We haven’t faced such a situation since 1945,” he said in a recent interview.
According to the head of the Polish government, Poland should get accustomed to the advent of a new era: the pre-war era.
He is not the only one expressing such views lately, with experts warning of an impending war emerging all the time. However, emotions have been cooled by, among others, retired General Waldemar Skrzypczak, who stated that the Kremlin fears confrontation with NATO. “A military struggle with NATO would be a disaster for Putin and the end of the era of Russia as a whole,” he emphasized.

UK Spending Tens of Millions on Woke Research
Britons struggling through the ongoing cost-of-living crisis might struggle to understand why more than £750,000 (€880,000) of taxpayers’ money has been handed to an academic research paper on “Comics and Race in Latin America.” But this is simply the tip of the iceberg.
A story is beginning to unfold in the British media about how “tens of millions of pounds” is being given to what GB News’ Patrick Christys described as “pointless woke academic research.” One project on “the Europe that gay porn built” has received particular criticism, although only after it was awarded £841,830 (€981,000)—again, from the taxpayers’ purse.
Funding has been handed down from the non-departmental UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) body of the UK government. Conservative Party ministers allow this to invest £8 billion (€9.33bn) of taxpayers’ money each year.
Journalist Charlotte Gill, who has spent recent weeks researching this area, found that the following research titles had received particularly vast sums of cash:
- Decolonizing South East Asian Sound Archives (£123,470/€144,000)
- Screen Encounters with Britain: What do young Europeans make of Britain and its digital screen culture? (£452,623/€527,900)
- Queer Music, Queer Theory, Queer Music Theory (£177,422/€206,870)
- Trans Performance Now: Glitching cisgenderism (£185,627/€216,400)
Meanwhile, supposed Conservatives are arguing for the old and infirm to be killed in order to save the state some money.
Gill’s full list can be found here. Sharing the titles soon prompted many on the online left to hound her for “stirring up more culture war nonsense.” Richard Bentall, a Psychology Professor at the University of Sheffield, even appeared to compare her work to that of the Nazis and Stalinists, who “tried to dictate what sort of science was acceptable.”
Both Nazis and Stalinists tried to dictate what sort of science was acceptable. The Nazis drove out the physicists and couldn’t make the bomb. The Soviets killed off the biologists and their own agriculture.

Allowing politics to dictate science doesn’t end well for either.
Responding to backlash, Gill wrote:
Think about what I’m doing. I am copying and pasting studies that the taxpayer has funded—with a little commentary. Then look at the vitriol. It’s not normal.
Twitter academics say these studies are *actually* brilliant. But are also apoplectic that they’ve been shared.
Dr. Joanna Williams, who wrote a book titled How Woke Won, recently told The Daily Telegraphthat the “UKRI should be using taxpayers’ money to fund academic research, not political activism.” The body itself responded to criticism, insisting that “funding decisions [were] made via rigorous peer review by relevant independent experts across academia and business,” which raises further questions regarding the political makeup of peer review groups.

Princeton Homosexual Activist And ‘Queer Alumni’ President Arrested For Child Pornography
(LifeSiteNews) — The head of Princeton University’s “Queer Alumni Club” and a prominent member of the art community has been arrested on child pornography charges, prompting the Ivy League school to scrub its website of his biography.
Fox News reports that 53-year-old Roy Farmer was arrested and charged with third-degree possession of child sexual abuse material, following a tip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that he had downloaded illicit material.

“On Friday the Mercer County Tactical Response Team, with assistance from the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office and Homeland Security Investigations Trenton searched Farmer’s Princeton apartment seizing ‘multiple items of evidentiary value,’” the Daily Mail adds. “Farmer was arrested without a struggle and was detained at Mercer County Jail pending a detention hearing on Wednesday.”
Farmer, a banker and entrepreneur who has been described as a “piano prodigy” and is involved in a wide variety of art festivals, is a board member of the New York Philharmonic and the former president of Princeton’s Glee Club. According to OperaWire, Farmer also “has served on the boards of the Classic Chamber Concerts, Istanbul State Opera and Ballet, London Symphony Orchestra, Naples Music Club, Opera Naples, and the StayInMay Festival.”
Queer Princeton Alumni describes its purpose as to “connect, engage, recognize and celebrate all queer Princeton alumni” as well as “partner[ing] with queer student groups on campus to support their activities and inspire and motivate them as the queer leaders of tomorrow.”
The group announced on March 28 that its board of trustees voted the day before to remove Farmer as its president and as a trustee. He had been president for several months.
LGBT activists being accused of sex crimes is far from unprecedented. Last month, drag queen Darius “Shangela” Pierce, who had been a guest of Vice President Kamala Harris at a “pride month” event the year before, was accused of sexual assault and rape by five different young men. In January, Gerad Slayton, the former executive director of a California LGBT group, was one of several men arrested in a sting operation for trying to solicit sex with children.

Spain to Recognize Palestinian Statehood, Calls on Western Allies to Follow Suit
Spain has been foremost among European countries which have repeatedly condemned Israel’s ongoing military operation in Gaza and the resultant soaring Palestinian death toll. The EU country is also among those demanding answers for the drone strikes that killed a group of World Central Kitchen aid workers this week. “I expect and demand that the Israeli government clarify as soon as possible the circumstances of this brutal attack that has taken the lives of seven aid workers who were doing nothing but helping,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said in a fresh statement.
But Prime Minister Sanchez is also driving global headlines for his Tuesday statements declaring the Spanish government is moving forward with recognizing Palestinian statehood. The Financial Times reported that the country is ready to bestow formal recognition as early as July.
Sanchez said, “We have to seriously consider doing it in the first half of this year.” The declaration he made while on a Middle East tour is sure to rile Israeli leadership, which has condemned efforts to force recognition of a Palestinian state at a moment the Israeli military is in a fight with Hamas terrorists.
According to more details via regional media:
State news agency EFE and newspapers El Pais and La Vanguardia cited Sanchez as making the informal remarks to the traveling press corps late on Monday in the Jordanian capital, Amman, on the first day of visits to Jordan, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
According to the reports, Sanchez said he expected events to unfold in the conflict ahead of the European Parliament elections in early June and highlighted ongoing debates at the United Nations.
Of course, Spain wouldn’t be the first to unilaterally recognize Palestine (outside of a broader UN move, for example). Those EU states to have previously done so include Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. Ireland and Malta have also recently said they are on board and plan to do so.
However, the UK, France, and Germany have expressed they will not recognize Palestine outside of a broader deal for a two-state solution that involves Israeli assent.
Spain and those European countries which have already made declarations of recognition want to see the Palestinian Authority (PA) take control of Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state.
Various two-state solution plans have been proposed over the past decades, but have never taken shape…
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, has vowed to block all of these efforts – and indeed the scenario would remain impossible without Israeli agreement, given IDF troops currently occupy all of these places.
