General Tukhachevsky's order of the day, 2 July 1920, read: "To the West! Over the corpse of White Poland lies the road to worldwide conflagration. March on Vilno, Minsk, Warsaw!" and "onward to Berlin over the corpse of Poland!"

 

Piłsudski's plan called for Polish forces to withdraw across the Vistula River and to defend the bridgeheads at Warsaw and on the Wieprz River while some 25% of the available divisions concentrated to the south for a strategic counteroffensive. The plan next required two armies under General Józef Haller, facing Soviet frontal attack on Warsaw from the east, to hold their entrenched positions at all costs. At the same time, an army under General Władysław Sikorski was to strike north from outside Warsaw, cutting off Soviet forces that sought to envelope the Polish capital from that direction. The most important role, however, was assigned to a relatively small, approximately 20,000-man, newly assembled "Reserve Army" (also known as the "Strike Group", "Grupa Uderzeniowa"), comprising the most determined, battle-hardened Polish units that were commanded personally by Piłsudski. Their task was to spearhead a lightning northward offensive, from the Vistula-Wieprz triangle south of Warsaw, through a weak spot that had been identified by Polish intelligence between the Soviet Western and Southwestern Fronts. That offensive would separate the Soviet Western Front from its reserves and disorganize its movements. Eventually, the gap between Sikorski's army and the "Strike Group" would close near the East Prussian border, bringing about the destruction of the encircled Soviet forces.

The plan for the battle was straightforward for both sides. The Russians wanted to break through the Polish defences to Warsaw, while the Polish aim was to defend the area long enough for a two-pronged counteroffensive from the south, led by General Józef Piłsudski, and north, led by General Władysław Sikorski, to outflank the attacking forces.

 

At the time, Piłsudski's plan was criticized, and only the desperate situation of the Polish forces persuaded other commanders to go along with it. Although based on reliable intelligence, including decrypted Soviet radio communications, the plan was termed "amateurish" by high-ranking army officers and military experts, quick to point out Piłsudski's lack of formal military education. After a copy of the plan fell into Soviet hands, Western Front commander Mikhail Tukhachevsky thought it to be a ruse and disregarded it. Days later, the Soviets paid dearly during the Battle of Warsaw, the overconfident Red Army suffered one of their worst defeats.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff broke with the White House in an interview with NPR set to air Monday morning, when he declined to endorse a plan to reduce troop levels in Afghanistan to 2,500 by early next year.

 

President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, Robert O’Brien, on Wednesday told an audience he supported a plan to draw down to 2,500 troops by early next year, but Army Gen. Mark Milley does not see that as a done deal.

 

“I think that, you know, Robert O’Brien or anyone else can speculate as they see fit," Milley told NPR in an interview aired Monday. “I’m not going to engage in speculation. I’m going to engage in the rigorous analysis of the situation based on the conditions and the plans that I am aware of and my conversations with the president.”

 

Milley’s comments came after Trump, on Thursday, one-upped O’Brien’s projection in a tweet announcing that the remaining 4,000 troops in Afghanistan “should” be home by Christmas.

>The name of Iran is the Persian word for the land or place of the Aryans

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarmatism

Sarmatism is an ethno-cultural concept with a shade of politics designating the formation of an idea of Poland's origin from Sarmatians, an Iranic people, within the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was the dominant Baroque culture and ideology of the nobility (szlachta) that existed in times of the Renaissance to the 18th centuries. Together with another concept of "Golden Liberty", it formed a central aspect of the Commonwealth's culture and society. At its core was the unifying belief that the people of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth descended from the ancient Iranian Sarmatians, the legendary invaders of contemporary Polish lands in antiquity.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karabela

The Polish gentry wore a long fur trimmed coat, called kontusz, knee-high boots, and carried a small saber (szabla) called karabela. Mustaches were also popular, as well as decorative feathers in men's headgear. Poland's "Sarmatians" strove to achieve martial skill on horseback, believed in equality among themselves ("Golden Freedom"), and in invincibility in the face of the enemy. Sarmatism lauded past victories of the Polish military, and required Polish noblemen to cultivate the tradition.

The Battle of Karbala was fought on 10 October 680 between the army of the second Umayyad caliph Yazid I and a small army led by Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, at Karbala, Iraq.

Donald Trump Jr. stumps in Miami ahead of president’s Florida rally

The campaign trail took Donald Trump Jr. to South Florida, where he appeared in an event one day before his father is set to hold a rally in Central Florida.

The president’s son and Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter Jorge Masvidal joined other lawmakers in Miami on Sunday as part of the Fighters Against Socialism Bus Tour.

“There’s no one from Venezuela in America saying, ‘Bring that system here.’ There’s no one from Cuba, or the former Soviet Union, or China,” said Trump Jr. “If these systems are so wonderful, why are there no people who lived under them that will vouch for them?”

“We either reelect Donald Trump and keep this country great, or we let Joe Biden and the radical left take us down the slippery slope to socialism,” said Masvidal.

Hundreds of supporters were in attendance, though not everyone was wearing face masks.

“I support Trump 110%, four more years,” said an attendee.

Speaking with 7News after his speech, Trump Jr. warned people of what he described as the dangers of socialism.

“We can’t allow that to come here, and the fact that it’s becoming a normal part of the Democrat platform should scare all of us,” he said.

The bus tour also included stops in Tampa, Orlando and Coconut Creek.

Less than 24 hours earlier, the president’s physician said he is “no longer a transmission risk to others.”

The commander in chief discussed his condition in an interview with Fox News on Saturday,

“I have to tell you, I feel fantastically. I really feel good,” he said Trump.

When asked whether his doctor’s announcement suggests he no longer has the virus, Trump replied, “Yes, and not only that. It seems like I’m immune.”

In a tweet Sunday, the president wrote, “A total and complete sign off from White House doctors yesterday. That means I can’t get it (immune) and can’t give it.”

Twitter flagged the tweet, and while it’s still accessible, they’ve added a statement that reads, “This tweet violated the Twitter rules about spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19.”​

Monday’s rally in Sanford, Florida, will be Trump’s first stop on the campaign trail since testing positive for the virus.

“My father is excited to be back in Florida,” said Trump Jr. “It’s the first stop after two weeks away from all of that. He loves that. He loves that energy.”

On a prayer call Sunday, the president said first lady Melania Trump, who also contracted the virus, is “doing great” regarding her recovery.

Rachel Bloom is going to be funny, no matter what you think of her and her lewd, Jewy, borderline-offensive brand of comedy

by Batya Ungar-Sargon

In Rachel Bloom’s animated music video “Historically Accurate Disney Princess Song,“ the princess in question wanders through her medieval town in search of love. Everyone seems to have found their prince but her, she laments in song, passing “the blacksmith with his daughter-wife, 10 years old and pregnant with her brother-son” and “a statue of Christ adorned with thief’s hands.” The princess dances and sings her way into the forest, where she encounters her friends, the Jews.

“Hello, Jews!” she cries with delight, addressing a group of two-foot-tall rounded creatures with egg-heads, who don’t speak so much as chirp. One has a monocle in one eye and a diamond in his hand, while another has beady black eyes. A third wears glasses. They have big hook-noses and wear yarmulkes. “You know, I never did ask you: Why do you live in the forest?” the princess coos, in the tone every Disney princess takes with her little creaturely friends. The Jews answer her with their chirping. “Oh, I see,” she says, “to hide from people trying to kill you. Well, that’s very resourceful, my beaky little friends!” The princess drops gold coins on the floor as Cinderella dropped corn, and the Jews dutifully bend to nibble. “Tell me: Have you ever had a dream that wouldn’t come true?” she trills. “Oh, I see, your dream is that people won’t want to kill you. Well, that’s definitely a dream that won’t come true!” she says, as characters in armor start to shoot arrows at the Jews and chase them off screen. “Oh, goodbye, goodbye!” she calls. Then, scrunching up her little cartoon nose and slitting her eyes, she grunts: “Jews.”

Like the best musical comedy videos of Weird Al and Saturday Night Live, “Historically Accurate Disney Princess Song” combines edgy comedy with great music. But Bloom’s trademark move is to take this combination one step further; rather than just a one-dimensional joke set to music, like “Dick in a Box” or “Amish Paradise,” Bloom transforms the musical comedy into social critique. “Historically Accurate Disney Princess Song” poses the dilemma, “Do you believe in true love and secretly wish you were a princess? Because that stuff’s all bound up with a whole bunch of other stuff you might not want to cop to.” In other words, the joke is on, but it is also on you.

Rachel Bloom is about to go from video artist to household name. Showtime has just ordered a pilot for her comedy show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, co-written with Aline Brosh McKenna of The Devil Wears Prada and to be directed by Marc Webb of Spiderman movie fame. The half-hour comedy (with musical elements) is about a girl who is successful but unhappy and who drops everything when she runs into her ex-boyfriend in order to stalk him and sing about it. “It’s about obsession,” Bloom explained when we met in March in Los Angeles. “When we’re obsessed with someone, it’s never about them. It’s about us hating ourselves. And that’s generally the tone of a lot of my videos, which is this desperate character who’s overcompensating with being super happy. But she’s broken.”

Hong Kong Is China, Like It or Not

By Regina Ip - legislator and a member of the Executive Council in Hong Kong.

After months of chaos in the city, something had to be done, and the Chinese government did it.

No amount of outcry, condemnation or sanctions over the Chinese government’s purported encroachment in Hong Kong’s affairs will alter the fact that Hong Kong is part of China and that its destiny is intertwined with the mainland’s.

Hong Kong has been rocked by a series of crises after the eruption of protests last year over a proposed bill (long since withdrawn) that would have allowed the extradition of some suspects in criminal cases to mainland China.

Hong Kongers who wanted the city promptly to return to peace thought the authorities’ handling of the situation, which dragged on for months and grew more and more violent, was incompetent. For other locals, many outsiders and apparently much of the global media, a people’s legitimate quest for more democracy was being suppressed.

A new intelligentsia is pushing back against wokeness

William Lloyd Garrison, one of the United States’ most important abolitionists, lived with a bounty on his head for much of his life. His newspaper, The Liberator, advocated for an immediate end to slavery, and he faced down a lynch mob more than once for his writing. One of his avid readers was a formerly enslaved person who went by the name of Frederick Douglass. “His paper took its place with me next to the bible,” Douglass wrote of The Liberator in his memoir.

The two met at an abolitionist meeting in 1841 after Douglass stood up and described to the white crowd what it was like to live as someone else’s property. It was a powerful address, though Douglass, only three years removed from slavery, was so nervous he later couldn’t remember what he had said. Garrison became his mentor, retaining Douglass as a representative of the Anti-Slavery Society, publishing Douglass’s work, encouraging his book and sending him around the country to speak about the evils of slavery.

But the two had a bitter falling out in 1847 over the United States Constitution. Garrison believed that the document was pro-slavery, “the formal expression of a corrupt bargain made at the founding of the country and that it was designed to protect slavery as a permanent feature of American life,” writes Christopher B. Daly in “Covering America: A Narrative History of a Nation’s Journalism.”

Douglass initially agreed. But by the time he published “My Bondage and My Freedom,” he had reconsidered, and believed that “the constitution of the United States not only contained no guarantees in favor of slavery, but, on the contrary, it is, in its letter and spirit, an anti-slavery instrument, demanding the abolition of slavery as a condition of its own existence, as the supreme law of the land.”

By then Douglass had his own newspaper, The North Star, and he began to advocate for political tactics to end slavery, something Garrison could not abide. In 1851, Garrison withdrew the American Anti-Slavery Society’s endorsement from Douglass’s paper. And then he went further: He denounced Douglass from the pages of The Liberator and did not speak to him for 20 years.

A white abolitionist tried to cancel Frederick Douglass, a formerly enslaved person, for disagreeing about whether America could ever free itself from racism.

Today we are having a new national debate about whether the United States is redeemable, about the nature of its founding figures and documents – even the date of its founding — and what to do with those who dissent. But one side is winning. Since George Floyd’s horrifying murder, an anti-racist discourse that insists on the primacy of race is swiftly becoming the norm in newsrooms and corporate boardrooms across America. But as in Douglass’s day, the sides are not clearly divided along racial lines. A small group of Black intellectuals are leading a counter-culture against the newly hegemonic wokeness.

They are public intellectuals like John McWhorter, a professor of linguistics at Columbia University; Thomas Chatterton Williams, a memoirist and contributor to The New York Times Magazine; Kmele Foster, cofounder of Freethink and host of The Fifth Column Podcast; and Chloe Valdary, founder of a startup called Theory of Enchantment. Also frequently opining against today’s new norms are Glenn Loury, professor of economics at Brown, and Coleman Hughes, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and contributing editor at City Journal (Hughes and Loury did not respond to interview requests). Each is contributing to a powerful counternarrative and as a result, their Twitter followers and podcast downloads are exploding. In being anti-woke and having experienced being Black in America (though not all identify as “Black”), these public intellectuals scramble the racial lines of today’s debate, speaking up for many who are too afraid to voice their opinions – and facing down the mob on their behalf.

“If I get canceled,” Williams told me recently, “I’ll get canceled by a white anti-racist. I really believe that.”

It would be wrong to overstate the similarities between these thinkers. They are by no means a coherent group, and disagree about many, if not most, topics. Foster is an anarcho-libertarian. Williams has left-wing politics, and McWhorter identifies as a liberal. Valdary founded a start-up that offers a curriculum of character-building, spiritual solutions to overcoming adversity (Disclosure: I am on the board and she is a friend). Loury is more conservative, and Hughes is perhaps most famous for testifying before Congress against Reparations.

What unites them into an emerging and increasingly influential intelligentsia is their rejection of the racial essentialism they view as ascendant in our current moment – the idea that one must prioritize race over everything else to combat racism.

“Racial essentialism is very reductive and actually oppressive,” Valdary told me. “Ironically, it reduces us as individuals to our immutable characteristics, which is precisely what we were supposed to be fighting against.”

“What I reject is the biological insistence that Blackness is distinct from other forms of humanity,” he told me recently. “For me, it’s a cultural tradition,” he explained. “It’s a heritage, it’s love of my father, and the world he represents. It’s some of the best artistic achievements that have come out of America; it’s a discipline, as Ralph Ellison said. It means that you are part of a specific group of people in America who descended from slavery.

 

“I guess in some ways, I would be arguing for a Blackness that’s more like Jewishness,” he went on. “Many of my Jewish friends insist that Jewishness is not racial, it’s ethnic and cultural. It’s a tradition.”

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatter_(Alice's_Adventures_in_Wonderland)

 

The Hatter character, alongside all the other fictional beings, first appears in Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. In it, the Hatter explains to Alice that he and the March Hare are always having tea because when he tried to sing for the foul-tempered Queen of Hearts, she sentenced him to death for "murdering the time", but he escapes decapitation. In retaliation, Time (referred to as a "he" in the novel) halts himself in respect to the Hatter, keeping him and the March Hare stuck at 18:00 (or 6:00 pm) forever.

 

When Alice arrives at the tea party, the Hatter is characterised by switching places on the table at any given time, making short, personal remarks, asking unanswerable riddles and reciting nonsensical poetry, all of which eventually drives Alice away. The Hatter appears again as a witness at the Knave of Hearts' trial, where the Queen appears to recognise him as the singer she sentenced to death, and the King of Hearts also cautions him not to be nervous or he will have him "executed on the spot".
