– My main military advisor is Jacek Hoga, president of the Ad Arma Foundation – late announced Sławomir Mentzen in an interview with Channel Zero. He added that he respects and values him very much. – Besides, not only me, but besides many people from the Polish military world, many generals, so I think it is simply a good advisor – he said.
So Jacek Hoga, of whom fewer outside this environment have most likely heard before, gained his 5 minutes. He was abruptly curious in portals. Suddenly, his name started to circulate.
"Sports shooter, historical fencing coach, hunter, philister of the Kujawy Academic Corporation. The Ad Arma Foundation is an organization that promotes respect for civilian rights and freedoms, with peculiar emphasis on the right to defend life from illegal assault and the right to have arms" – I read about it in 1 of the archival articles of 10 years ago.
Hoga then attended a gathering in Skarżysko-Kamienna entitled "Should Poles have access to firearms?". And as the portal skarko.info reported, he commanded: – To be a free man, you request a gun.
Mentzen calls him a friend. "He is simply a large supporter of many children"
For years, Hoga has been promoting widespread access to weapons. That's what he's best known for. It's all about his foundation. On this subject he gives interviews to the National Media, appeared on tv Trwam, on YouTube channels. He talks about the war in Ukraine, about access to arms, about the state of arms of the Polish army, about Polish-American relations, safety in general.
He besides wrote 2 books: "Children and Arms" and "To Arms!". Sławomir Mentzen wrote the first introduction in 2019. As he stated 10 years earlier, he first tried to persuade Hoga to compose this book. He called him his friend. They've known each another for a twelve years.
"He is simply a large supporter of multi-children and the universal right to have weapons. At the same time, multi-childhood starts somewhere around 10 children and the right to have a weapon can restrict only the court" – the leader of the Confederate presented it. From his introduction, we know that Hoga had 9 children.
"If individual says he is simply a patriot, has a white and red sweatshirt, goes to the independency March and does everything for Poland, he will learn from the Author that this declaration is in practice not worth much. How many kids do you have and if you have a gun, Jacek Hoga will ask. due to the fact that it is children and weapons who will decide about the future of Poland" – we read.
Since then, the Hogi household has grown. In 2023 he himself wrote on X that he had 11 children. Moreover, he criticized the 500+ programme.
"Anyone who calls for an increase of 500+ is an enemy of household cohesion and parental authority. If anyone thinks that only possible beneficiaries can speak, I have 11 children and for me it's quite a few money. Let's end this handout!" he appealed.
Today a individual with specified views advises Mentzen, during the presidential campaign, as a military specialist. But as it turns out – as checked by OKO.press – military specialists do not know his name very much.
But netizens dug his old posts and dug into his views. Anna Mierzyńska summarized them this way: "As a tragedy she considers the deficiency of Russian option in Poland. The European Army is an component of the work of Poles. He's pro-wide access to weapons and death penalty. And the wife has to perceive to her husband."
They're all shocking, but the ones about women have most likely caused the biggest shock and agitation.
"These are highly damaging thesis," "It incriminates Sławomir Menzten"
– Is it amazing that specified people are surrounded by Sławomir Mentzen? Not at all, due to the fact that he just surrounds himself with people like that. That's the Confederacy. It's the same. And the fact that he tolerates specified people in his surroundings at all, shows a lot about him," comments Monika Rosa, MP of the PO.
She's never heard of Jack Hogi.
– These are highly harmful thesis. It seemed that it was simply impossible to formulate specified thoughts and be arrogant of them. By the way, advise 1 of the contenders for the position of president of the Republic of Poland. But it is. It is impossible to separate cognition or appearances of knowledge, about militaryism from women. This is weighing down Sławomir Menzten in a crucial way. He may have specified views, but he simply hides them – he adds.
– And if you don't, the fact that people like this are allowed to go to each another shows something's wrong. We can't accept those besides – he thinks.
Let us remind you if anyone else has not heard of these women. 1 of Jack Hog's comments present dates back to December 2024. Mentzen's current advisor proved in him that women were meant to be born, and so should they be fulfilled, not by work. He quoted the Bible that "a female will save herself by giving birth to children" (1 TM 2.15) and stated that "no spells will change that."
"Poland's problem is not feminists but 'conservative'. They forgot that motherhood is the main function of women. No 1 can replace them. Their laziness and cowardice led to demographic collapse and the extinction of the nation," he believes.
Hoga besides claimed that "maternity is not compatible with work" and "never was." That he is against the service of women in the military, due to the fact that "putting women into the labour marketplace is an insult to their femininity, let alone forcing them into physical combat."
"This is breaking a woman's nature, a woman. Making ladies look like women. I don't know how this female is expected to be ready to have five, six kids," she says on 1 recording that went viral. He besides believes that the first half hr after his husband's return from work is sacred. He should not be burdened at home.
"Do you truly want a president who approves specified views?" – comments flow.
The Citizen Coalition MP Mariusz Witczak estimated in a conversation with TVN24 that it was "the views of the Stone Age". “It may sound strange, as the politician of the Left will say, but may God defend us against specified a candidate and specified a head of the BBN”, said Dariusz Wieczorek, MP of the Left, erstwhile Minister of Science.
Confederacy and women. "Professional treatment"
– Of course I was outraged. But I get the same comments online. Many commentators of our online profiles usage vulgar words about women, diminishing us in a very crucial way and utilizing Mentzen's hashtags just – Monika Rosa reacts.
Its main association with the Confederation and their approach to women is as follows: – This treatment. Without the right to decide for yourself. Property. Not equal members of society.
The MP resembles a communicative from Silesia, erstwhile a young environmental activist of the Confederation of Katowice caused a storm to say that "rape can be pleasant ultimately". He later explained that he was joking about the words of Blanka Lipińska, the author of the book "365 days". Those Confederates thesis, which collected signatures for Mentzen, now recalled in the presidential run of the National Women's Strike, as reported by the "West Journal".
Hoga: "No Russian option in Poland is simply a large tragedy"
Jacek Hoga himself besides shocks on another issues. I'm reading a random interview with him on National Media.
"Europe is simply a collection of countries whose only activity over the past 30 years has been to oppress their own citizens and entrepreneurs," he argues.
Or about the war in Ukraine: "The conflict in Ukraine is part of the conflict between the United States and the Russian Federation and stets, whether, unfortunately, this is absolutely not all about Ukraine, it is about the gameplay between the 2 powers, and Ukraine is just a part of it".
His words about "Russian option" are besides spreading online. "He publically lamented that in Poland... there is no 'Russian option' – PO politicians scold him.
In 2019, in the introduction to his book, Mentzen kind of preempted that shock. He stated that Hogi's thoughts "are absolutely unacceptable in the modern world".
"Jack will hatred men, women, married women, married women, divorcees, soldiers, policemen, officials, nationalists, conservatives, freedomists, socialists, teachers, priests, Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Jews, atheists, doctors, politicians, as well as people without clear affiliation," stated the current presidential candidate.
In the context of access to arms and children Mentzen inactive explained his views. We quote for his 2019 FB entry:
"Do you want to change Poland? Start with yourself. Marry your girlfriend, have a bunch of kids with her, learn how to shoot and pass that skill on to your kids. Are you saying you'd die for Poland? Then give her another baby. If you are not willing to sacrifice, how can you even think that you are willing to quit your life? Do what our ancestors did erstwhile Poland was powerful. Her power didn't come out of nowhere. A nation without children, without weapons, without people wanting and able to fight, simply has no future."
What about these Confederate views today?
The spokesperson for the presidential candidate cut himself off from the words about "baboboys". I'm not signing off on this. Sławomir Mentzen besides said in "Yes, it is" on TVN24 Wojciech Machulski.
"I know who Hoga is, but I've never heard from him"
About what the electoral Confederates even think about their party's approach to women, she wrote on subject by Alexander Tchorzewska. "Our organization is not chauvinist at all," she heard.
When I ask in the Confederate community about Jack Hogi's words, 1 activist responds: "It does not decision me and does not offend me. I know these are subjects that may be controversial, but they're not very controversial to me. I consider myself a conservative individual and this post did not offend me. I take it in the form of a curiosity – he says.
I hear about Jack Hoga himself: – I know who he is, but I never had any contact with him. The name is known, but for many years of my active activity I did not deal with it. I know he's always been around, but what's the level of his relation with Sławomir Mentzen, I don't know.
Another Confederate activist besides says he doesn't know Jack Hog. He's amazed to have become Mentzen's advisor.
– I didn't know anything about that. I'm only proceeding from you now. I know that name, but I never met him personally. He did not participate in any of our authoritative events – he says.
Is she a individual known in the environment?
– I don't know if she's a known person, due to the fact that if she was known, I'd know him personally. But I admit his name, I know him from the Internet. Mr. Hogi's last activity I followed was a study on the Ad Arma Foundation's weapons from a fewer years ago. This was the last activity of Mr Jack Hogi I remember – he says on Temat.
Today, he says, he doesn't even track his social media entries all day.
