Elderly Polish Farmer Faces Years in Prison After Brutal Police Crackdown During Warsaw Protest
Were there really some 50 farmers arrested during last week’s protest in Warsaw, as the government claims? How many of those arrested farmers is the Ordo Iuris Institute defending?
We are currently representing two farmers who were detained on the day of the protest. But we are constantly receiving information about more people who need our legal assistance in connection with the March 6 farmers’ protest in Warsaw.
We are in contact with them and will also get power of attorney or authorization to defend them if necessary.
As for the number of detainees given by the police, I find it difficult to comment on that. We have information from the Rural Solidarity trade union. Fewer people than that have turned to them. Neither family nor close friends of these dozens of alleged detainees reported to Rural Solidarity.
On the day of these detentions, a total of six people reported to Rural Solidarity, and we do not know who the others are at this moment [on Monday, March 11]. Were they Solidarity activists? Were they farmers? We have no such information.
And those farmers that Ordo Iuris defends, what kind of people are they and what exactly were they arrested for?
One of them is a 65-year-old farmer from Lower Silesia who was detained by police on the day of the protest. We were approached by Rural Solidarity to give him legal assistance. They informed us that this farmer’s family is very concerned about his health because the man has serious cardiac problems.
On the day of his arrest, later in the evening, I went to the police station where he was supposed to be held. There, I was informed that he had been taken to an urgent medical examination and that any proceedings involving him would not take place until the next day.
On the morning of the next day, we contacted the police at the Zytnia Street Police Station, where this detained farmer was supposed to be staying. They told us that the man had returned from the medical examination and that they would inform us when there would be proceedings involving him.
Such proceedings did not take place until Thursday afternoon, that is, one day after his arrest. He was charged with participating in a mob and violating the bodily integrity of two police officers.
This violation of police officers’ bodily integrity allegedly consisted of throwing eggs in their direction and hitting them with those eggs in the legs. In addition, this act was classified as hooliganism.

The violent scenes are shocking the country.
Who gave the order to crush these protesters? pic.twitter.com/5US0vvVqaY
What penalty does this incur? Could he go to prison?
Yes, both participation in a mob and violation of bodily integrity of police officers are punishable by up to three years in prison. The punishment can be even more severe when those deeds are qualified as hooliganism, as in this case.
Why was it classified as hooliganism?
Because this man allegedly acted in public and without reason, showing blatant disregard for the law.
But he was at a protest, right?
Well, yes, and this legal qualification of hooliganism is tantamount to saying that this man’s participation in the protest on March 6 was without cause. This is, of course, at odds with the fact that farmers came to Warsaw to defend their interests and the interests of Poles in the face of unfavorable European Union climate policy regulations.
So it cannot be said that the participation of the farmer we represent in the protest was without reason. He had a very good reason: He wanted to present his views, to manifest them at a legal gathering.
It was a legal protest, right?
Yes, except that at some point it was disbanded by the organizers. Still, this farmer had come to a protest that was legitimate and legal and that had been previously announced.
On one hand, he is only accused of having thrown eggs at police officers in the legs, and on the other hand, he was treated like a serious criminal. Before his release, he was fingerprinted.
Fingerprints are taken on a special device. You have to put your fingers on a special fingerprint reader. In this farmer’s case, the technicians who handled the fingerprinting process reported that the device could not read his fingerprints because his hands were so worn. The hands of this alleged serious criminal, that is, this 65-year-old farmer, are so worn by decades of hard work that his fingerprints cannot be seen by a fingerprint device.
So he was a real farmer and not some hooligan. The Polish authorities said that only hooligans, and not real farmers, had been arrested at the March 6 protest in Warsaw.
Exactly, yes. This guy is a real farmer, who explained to the police that all his life his hands had been his work tools.
There was this narrative from the authorities that those arrested were serious hooligans who were caught throwing cobblestones, and that most were drunk. So it is worth noting that this 65-year-old farmer was sober at the time of his arrest.
What about the other detained farmer, in whose defense Ordo Iuris has intervened?
I am not the one who intervened personally in this case, but another farmer has an even stranger charge. It is also participation in a mob, which, as I pointed out earlier, is punishable by imprisonment of up to 3 years, but the description of his crime is as follows: moving with the crowd. That is, this 22-year-old farmer from the Greater Poland region was walking along with other protesters, and for this, he was detained and charged.
In addition, as in the case of the older man, this too has been classified as hooliganism, which means that the severity of the punishment should be correspondingly higher. Hooliganism consists of walking in a crowd!
We have seen many videos of the use of force by the police against protesters, who appeared to be behaving quite passively. Under Polish law, can the police use force in such a way without warning, even if there is no active resistance from protesters or from those people who refuse to disperse after a protest is disbanded?
Absolutely not. In the opinion of the Ordo Iuris Institute’s lawyers, this use of direct coercive measures by the police was unjustified in many cases. In such a situation, according to the provisions of our Law on Direct Coercive Measures and Firearms, the police should first call on a person to behave lawfully and warn him or her of their intention to use these means of direct coercion.
In the videos, we see neither these calls nor any warning that the police intend to enforce such direct coercive measures. There was even a situation where an MP, Slawomir Mentzen from Konfederencja, who was standing together with other protesting farmers and talking to them, was at one point sprayed with tear gas.
I would add that the recordings also show other instances of improper behavior by police officers.
In one of the videos, for example, you can see a policeman throwing a cobblestone at a crowd of protesters. In another, one of the participants in the gathering can be seen being led by two police officers. His hands are cuffed behind his back, and at one point one, of the policemen hits him on the head for no apparent reason. In one case, you can see policemen picking out one young man with a Polish flag in his hand from a small cluster of protesters and brutally knocking him to the ground.
This type of use of force is not authorized. This is why the lawyers of the Ordo Iuris Institute are now analyzing all the evidence available in the media or sent to us by different people. We will be signaling to the prosecutor’s office those police officers who have exceeded their authority.

In terms of support for the detained farmers, I understand that you offer free legal assistance, right?
Yes, our legal assistance to injured or detained farmers is fully free of charge. Of course, if there are other victims of police action, they, too, can turn to the Ordo Iuris Institute for legal assistance.
There are already more people who are turning to us for advice in connection to the March 6 protest. We analyze each such case and react if necessary.
Were you at this farmers’ protest?
Yes, I was there.
How do you assess the behavior of the protesters? I’m not talking about those detained, but in general, was it a protest where there was violence, where there were maybe some groups of people not necessarily related to farming, who wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack the police, for example?
I was at the protest before noon that day, on March 6. Of course, I could not be everywhere and I did not see everything. But what I saw was a peaceful, legal gathering, attended not only by men in their prime, but also by many elderly people, women, and children, even some of kindergarten age.
That’s why later in the afternoon, when I saw footage appearing on social media of the brutal pacification of this protest, it was really shocking to me precisely because I knew that old people as well as women and children were also there. That is why this narrative that was later given about this demonstration, saying it was not a protest of farmers, but just ordinary hooligans, is in my opinion completely untrue.
I saw with my own eyes many peaceful participants in this protest.
In your past experience as a lawyer, have you had to deal with such situations, where at this type of peaceful protest, participants were arrested and charged with these types of crimes? Or is this something new in Poland?
What happened at the March 6 farmers’ protest in Warsaw is like a return to what happened earlier, eight years ago, for example at the Independence March that takes place every year in Warsaw. At that time, too, there were a lot of media reports about the provocations that were taking place during the Independence March and, as a result, people who remained completely passive and did not behave aggressively were detained or pacified.
This is sort of a return to what happened under the previous Civic Platform (PO) government when Donald Tusk was also prime minister.
Can protesters, be they farmers or other social groups who would like to protest, or any other kind of people who participate in this type of protest, somehow protect themselves from arrest and these types of charges? Or do they simply have no other choice in today’s Poland, if they want to manifest their views, but to risk this happening to them too?
With what happened on March 6, it is hard to resist the impression that those who were arrested and now face charges are simply random people who found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.
So the question is whether it is possible to somehow protect oneself against such situations. If I hear from the stories of the participants that just random people from a group, from a gathering, are caught, it is difficult to guarantee that a particular participant of such a gathering will not be treated in the same way as the people we represent and who were detained.
What you need to do is simply know your rights and also not let yourself be persuaded into confessing to something you didn’t do in order to be released early from custody.
If someone has been detained, first of all, he or she should demand that a relative or a friend be contacted and informed about the situation, and it is important not to give explanations to the police without the presence of one’s legal counsel.
The Solidarity trade union provides such legal assistance in cooperation with the Ordo Iuris Institute.
Finally, it should also be noted that it is hard to resist the impression that this whole course of events that led to these arrests had one basic goal: to intimidate those people so that they would not protest again.
You can’t give in to this kind of pressure either. You have to be brave enough to know your rights and exercise one of your basic, fundamental, constitutional rights, which is the right to assembly.
I understand that you are under the impression that this behavior of the police resulted from some top-down orders. So, according to you, it wasn’t the case that the police officers just behaved incompetently at this particular protest?
It’s hard not to get that impression. After all, how many times before, over the past few years, even when some protesters behaved in a very vulgar or aggressive way towards the police, police officers would not react?
For example, I am thinking of the well-known left-wing activist who is called “Grandma Kasia” in the media, that is, Catherine A.
She’s an LGBT activist, right?
Yes, she’s an LGBT activist. And there are videos of her hitting police officers, with these officers remaining passive the whole time. Here, in contrast, the police were seen escalating things.
When the police remained passive in the face of Grandma Kasia’s behavior, that was under the Law and Justice government, yes?
Exactly, yes.

The Globalist Plan to Eliminate All Farms – No More Food, No More Humans
Much of the world’s farming community is still in the dark about the globalist plot to take over their land and render it desolate, all in the name of going “net zero” for the climate.
As explained by author Dr. Vernon Coleman, nothing about the climate change and global warming agenda is accidental or random. It was thoroughly planed for such a time as this, the end game being the destruction of farming and the implementation of synthetic “food.”
The greenies, as many often call them, are no longer beating around the bush when it comes to their true agenda. Many of them state flat-out and in public that if the world’s farms cannot be “sustainable,” as defined by the globalists, then they have to go.
“Farming has no option,” one of them is quoted as saying at a recent event. “It will have to be sustainable, otherwise it will not be sustained.”
This is why farmers in places like the Netherlands, France and Italy are roaring their tractors through the town squares and into their nations’ respective capitals to throw manure at political leaders: because they recognize the threat.
What many of them do not recognize, however, is that it is not just idiocy or mental retardation driving the green agenda. It is cold-hearted, concerted genocide at play, all under the guise of “saving the world.”
“Nowhere is there more incomprehensive jargon than there now is intruding into the world of farming,” Coleman says. “Many farmers have been pressured into supporting the absurd re-wilding programme which is promoted with such enthusiasm by the climate change believers.”
“The conspirators’ plan is to reduce the amount of land available for growing food in order to create food shortages, starvation and a consequent, inevitable reduction in the size of the global population. The aim is to allow between a third and a half of all land to go wild.”
(Related: The so-called “green” agenda is a Trojan Horse designed to decimate the food supply and force everyone to eat bugs while living under tyranny.)
Rewilding means dehumanizing
As pleasant a thought as it might be in some ways to think about the world’s lands once again becoming natural at the hands of nature rather than humans, one must also recognize that in order to re-wild the planet, it must also be de-humanized.
When the greenies talk about rewilding, they do not mean just parklands, wetlands and other already mostly-natural environments. They also mean your farm, and even your house, not to mention the entirety of commerce and industry as it currently occupies the landscape.
The powers that be feel as though only they deserve to live. You and your family have to disappear so they can expand natural habitats and create a new Garden of Eden-like environment for their own pleasure and enjoyment – without you in it.
“In order to ensure that neither farmers nor members of the public encroach on land that has been set aside for rewilding (and the first re-wilding program was introduced by the European Union some years ago in a scheme which was called ‘set aside’) wild animals are being released,” Coleman warns.
“Today, most farmers see their problems occurring as a result of stupidity, ignorance, or a failure to understand their needs. But what is happening to them is nothing to do with stupidity, ignorance or a failure to understand – it’s all deliberate and quite cold-blooded. More and more European countries are now dependent on imports for most of their food and energy supplies. And most of our food will be made in factories owned by billionaires.”

Boeing “Overwrote” Camera Footage of Work on MAX Jet Door That Blew Out, Can Not Identify Employee Who Worked on it
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more bizarre or surreal, the Boeing story did just that.
As previously reported, the aerospace giant has been under regulatory scrutiny following a string of safety-related incidents since the beginning of the year (really, since 2019 when two of its 737 MAXes fell out of the sky like overpriced deadly paperweight, but let’s just skip to the latest snafu), starting with a door blowing off a flight and continuing with multiple other incidents, including a cracked cockpit window, bolts missing on a wing, various wheels falling off during takeoff in at least two incidents and several engine fires/failures.
And as the pressure ratchets up on Boeing, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that management is running the same type of interference it did during the infamous MCAS scandal and ensuing cover-up attempt which cost former CEO Muilenburg his job. Sure enough, on Wednesday we learned that Boeing – in a pure coincidence that Jeffrey Epstein would approve of –“overwrote”, i.e. deleted, security camera footage showing work being done on a door that blew out on the Alaska Airlines MAX jet in January.
It’s not just the footage however: NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said it is unclear “who performed the work to open, reinstall, and close the door plug on the accident aircraft,” as Boeing is “unable to find the records documenting this work.” In Homendy’s letter, she writes that despite requests to Boeing and interviews at the Renton, Washington factory where the panel was removed, the identity of the crew member that worked on the panel remains unknown and has would be unable to “provide a statement or interview to NTSB due to medical issues.“

It gets crazier: in her letter, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said she directly appealed to Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun for information on who worked on the faulty door plug, expressing frustration over Boeing’s claim of missing records and security footage. Even then, Boeing merely stonewalled and said it was “unable to provide that information and maintained that Boeing has no records of the work being performed.”

Finally, the epic culmination – at least so far – of the shitstorm that has engulfed Boeing, we noted yesterday that a key whistleblower, a former quality control manager at the company who raised concerns about the firm’s production standards, was found dead from an apparent suicide.
John Barnett, a former veteran Boeing employee of 32 years, passed away from a self-inflicted wound on March 9, the BBC reported on Monday evening. Barnett was involved in a whistleblower lawsuit against Boeing, alleging serious safety concerns at the North Charleston plant, where he managed quality for the 787 Dreamliner production. Boeing was in Charleston for legal interviews related to the lawsuit when he was found dead.
He claimed the push for speed compromised safety, with sub-standard parts being used and a significant failure rate in emergency oxygen systems. Despite raising these issues, he felt his concerns were disregarded, leading to legal action against Boeing, alleging career damage due to his whistleblowing.
Meanwhile, what would a catastrophe in a company near and dear to the government – and of course, the deep state – be without questionable trading surrounding the incident in Congress? In filings reported on Wednesday, it was revealed that Congressman William R. Keating sold somewhere between $1,001 and $15,000 worth of Boeing shares on February 28.
He’s the latest Congress critter to have “excellent timing” when it comes to stock trades: while it isn’t Fed Governor Raphael Bostic selling massive S&P futures lots ahead of Fed minutes dropping, the sale took place the day before it was announced that the DOJ was investigating Boeing. Recall, on February 29, Bloomberg wrote that the DOJ was “looking into” the Boeing door plug blowout that took place earlier that month. Since his sale, Boeing’s stock value has tumbled by about 11%.
In any case, between Barnett who “suicided” himself, and now the video footage which also also apparently was “accidentally” snuffed out, we wonder just who is next on the Epstein escalator of “not suiciding themselves” at Boeing?

Ukraine Bombs Russian Nuclear Power Plant Periphery
Ukrainian forces dropped a bomb near diesel tanks located at Russia’s Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, management at the facility reported on Thursday.
In a video published on social media, plant director Yury Chernuk pointed to a crater in the ground, which he said had been created by an explosive device dropped from a Ukrainian drone.
The bomb itself was composed of explosives wrapped in foil, according to reports, but the location was significant. The crater was just five meters away from the perimeter fence, and tanks storing diesel fuel could be seen in the footage.
The plant has backup diesel generators, which kick in when electricity supply from the power grid is cut off. Its equipment needs to be powered continuously to ensure safe operation, even when nuclear reactors are not online. Blackouts have been a regular occurrence for the site since the beginning of the conflict.

”Destruction of those tanks or a fuel leak may not only cause a fire, but also result in significant loss of diesel reserves. Consequently, the plant’s preparedness for emergencies would be reduced by orders of magnitude,” Chernuk explained.
Another person, who was not identified, suggested that the bombing incident had been part of Ukraine’s intimidation tactics. Kiev considers the plant to be occupied by the Russian military.
The director of the facility noted that Ukrainian forces had targeted the plant days after the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN’s nuclear watchdog, rotated observers stationed there. The organization told Russian media that it was aware of the incident, but offered no further comment.
Following the incident, the situation was reportedly calm in Energodar, the city where the Zaporozhye power plant is located.
