The nationwide strike and anti government protests in Poland

People across Poland stayed off work and crowds gathered for a seventh straight day of street protests on Wednesday in a mass outpouring of anger at a high court ruling that bans abortions in cases of congenitally damaged foetuses. Protesters in Warsaw marched from the office of Ordo Iuris, a conservative group that has pushed for a full abortion ban, to the parliament building, which was surrounded by police in riot gear. Large crowds also filled the streets in other major cities, including Krakow and Wroclaw. Poland’s most powerful politician, ruling party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski, lashed out at opposition legislators, accusing them of inciting people to protest during the pandemic.
“You are destroying Poland,” Mr Kaczynski told them. “You are exposing a lot of people to death, you are criminals.” He said in the past that pregnancies involving even foetuses that are badly damaged and have no chance of survival outside the womb should “still end up in a birth, so that the child can be baptized, buried, have a name”. On Sunday, women entered Polish churches on Sunday to disrupt Masses, confronted priests with obscenities and spray-painted church buildings. Mr Kaczynski accused protesters of seeking “to destroy Poland” late on Tuesday and called on his party’s supporters to defend churches “at any cost” On Sunday Christians surrounded churches to defend them. Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski said 76 people have been detained in connection with the protests at churches and prosecutors are carrying out proceedings in 101 cases. Polish President Andrzej Duda, who is in isolation after testing positive for Covid-19, said last week that he supported the court ruling.
His daughter Kinga Duda, appointed as an unpaid advisor to her father on social issues, said on Wednesday that she could not accept it. Kinga Duda said that any woman carrying a foetus that could die within moments of birth should be allowed to decide what to do since she will be the one “to face the consequences of her decision for the rest of her life”.

Secret Uranium site near Kyiv hit by Russian Missile

 A Russian missile has destroyed a depot of depleted uranium near Kyiv! Uranium depot near Kyiv  The Russian armed forces have struck an ammunition depot on the outskirts of Kyiv, in Vishnevoe, where sub-calibre rounds with a depleted uranium-238 core and cluster bombs were stored.  Due to the threat of radioactive contamination, an emergency evacuation of residents in the area has begun, and the entire incident site has been completely cordoned off by the Ukrainian secret services. In other news regarding Ukraine:  Ukraine finally releases geolocations of soldiers in Konstantinvka - but the damage from Russia's claimed capture is already done: Unlike at Pokrovsk, there is no indication yet of a coordinated counterattack to reclaim parts of the city altogether. Furthermore, simply publishing geolocated videos of Ukrainian servicemen at all amounts to an admission that the Russian territorial claims have gained Western credulity which Kyiv must counteract. Another key...

The West Fears A Strong United Iran.

 Why Do Millions Unite at Iran’s Supreme Leader Funeral... And Why Does the West Panic? Millions of Iranians attend the Funeral of The Great Ayatollah Ali Khamenei    Look at the huge crowds in Tehran right now. Millions of people marching together, showing real unity after their leader’s death. Is this just a funeral?  No. This is Iran proving it is a real civilisation-state.  Deep history, strong faith, tight families, and national pride. These things hold them together no matter what the outside world throws at them. Why does the West fear this so much?  Because Iran is a living rejection of their globalist plan.  They want to destroy everything solid: open borders that erase countries, broken families, mocked religion, weak nation-states, and confused ideas about gender and truth.  They push this everywhere to control people more easily. But Iran says no.  They hit Iran with attacks and sanctions, yet the people stay united and strong....
