Amid record cold this weekend (I woke up today to blog, to find all my pipes frozen!), and with the Amairikuhn lamestream propatainment media continuing to promote the climate change narrative and Baal Gates wanting to “dim the sun” (Really, haven’t you busybody billionaires done enough damage?), there’s a story emerging in Poland that the media has missed (article and story courtesy of V.T. with our thanks):

Polish Police Arrest Pro-Duda MPs Inside Presidential Palace As Constitutional Crisis Unfolds
This story interests me because there are recognizable parallels to what is happening in the USSA, the weaponization of political institutions against political opponents that the entrenched globaloney class does not like; in Poland’s case, this is opposition between one national (and nationalist) party and one internationalist party:
There’s a bizarre but potentially serious constitutional crisis unfolding in Poland currently, after former Polish interior minister Mariusz Kaminski and his deputy Maciej Wonsik were arrested over allegations of abuse of power. A court has also sought to bar them from office for at least five years, a ruling which they have ignored.
The whole thing is set against the backdrop of a high-drama showdown between Poland’s new government of pro-EU Prime Minister Donald Tusk (only in office for a month now) and the now opposition Law and Justice party (PiS). Kaminski and Wonsik were actually arrested inside the presidential palace of President Andrzej Duda, ally of the previous right-wing government.
PiS is calling the pair “political prisoners” after a court sentenced them to two years in prison for abuse of power stemming from their stint leading an anti-corruption office in 2007. Their enemies have further charged that they’ve ‘subverted democracy’. President Duda, however, had pardoned them for the crime back in 2015 – a pardon which he says remains valid and can’t be nulled by the court’s decision.
But Tusk has called the standoff “unbelievable” – also as angry PiS supporters gathered outside the presidential palace as the arrests unfolded. Tusk’s “Civic Platform” party considers it an “equality before the law” situation for which no political official should be immune.
The other side says that pro-EU bureaucrats are wasting no time in using all the powers of the state to declare open season on anti-Brussels political enemies, however. (Italicized emphasis added)
Who knew that Poland was an echo chamber for the political rhetoric being voiced in the USSA? If the “Civic Platform” party suddenly indicts President Duda an absurd number of times, then we’ll know for sure.
On a more serious note, however, it’s important to observe what’s happening here (or rather, there). There’s no doubt that Mr. Kaminski is correct, and that certain Polish and EU bureaucrats are trying to fasten a new dictatorship down on that country and indeed on the continent, as nutty and lunactic policy after nutty and lunatic policy come out of Brussels. Just witness the farmers’ protests in the Netherlands and Germany, or the protests against the bureaucrats in France which we might call “Merdisme”. This name is most definitely not the name of the movement nor motivations behind the protests. It is, rather, the name for the policies, decisions, and corrupt people and institutions pushing it. It’s another name for the demons of Davos and their program. In Poland’s case, what intrigues me is that it is ironic that this is happening precisely in Poland, whose apparatchiks – one would think – should have learned the lessons from their clash with Solidarity in the late 1970s and 1980s. Indeed, I did a special webinar in the members’ area of this website on what the Poles did to loosen the grip of the Communist dictatorship on the country, and how they did it. Poland, you’ll recall, was the country that really began to unravel the post-war Communist order in eastern Europe, a revolt that eventually relegated the Warsaw pact to history, and which ultimately spread to the Soviet Union and ended the Communist state, spreading like wildfire to Hungary, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Romania and the execution of the Ceausescus.
In Poland’s case back then there were two factors that worked behind the scenes and in their favor. One, of course, was the Reagan administration. The other was Polish Pope John-Paul II, who during the height of the crisis let it be known in Warsaw and Moscow that he would personally fly back to Poland and lead the protests himself, and suffer whatever consequences the Communist apparatchiks and bullies decided to resort to. It was the moral capital of the Papacy versus all the guns, tanks, bullets, and missiles that the Communist bloc could muster.
