skype making their move on poland's fake news

Thousands of Warsaw residents joined a spontaneous demonstration in front of Poland's parliament to protest against a plan by the conservative ruling party to limit journalists' access to legislators.

The march, which began on Friday, continued into the early hours of Saturday, with crowds blocking the parliament for hours. Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the leader of the ruling party, finally left the building after police forcibly removed protesters blocking the exit.

Protesters had blocked politicians' cars, preventing them from leaving the parliament area. Opposition politician Jerzy Meysztowicz said police used tear gas to disperse them.

A new protest was called for Saturday at noon in front of the Presidential Palace.

Rules proposed by the head office of the Sejm, the lower house, would ban all recording of parliamentary sessions except by five selected television stations and limit the number of journalists allowed in the building. They are due to take effect next year.

Mobilised by the civic movement, the Committee for the Defence of Democracy, or KOD, the crowd began gathering on Friday and waved white-and-red national flags and chanted "Free media!" in cold winter weather.

Radek Sikorski, a former foreign minister, was among government critics who addressed the protest, harshly denouncing Poland's political direction under Kaczynski, the most powerful politician in Poland and chairman of the ruling Law and Justice party that is introducing many sweeping changes.

skype wise poland under attack. note the mention of the highly suspicious plane crash that took out the anti-euro prez and central bank head in 2010

WARSAW — When supporters of Poland’s governing party met for their monthly gathering last weekend outside the presidential palace to commemorate the 2010 plane crash that killed many of the country’s top leaders, they found that a group of protesters had already commandeered their usual spot.

The police quickly cleared them out. But it was a stark demonstration — along with larger dueling protests on Tuesday, the 35th anniversary of the imposition of martial law — of the disquiet over the right-wing government’s recent moves to restrict public gatherings.

“They are destroying everything I fought for,” said Lech Walesa, the former Solidarity leader, in an interview. “Free and democratic Poland is in danger.”

A year after roaring into office with a majority in the Polish Parliament, the governing party, Law and Justice, has embarked on a new round of what it calls necessary reforms to strengthen the power of the executive branch. Opponents call it a troubling slide toward authoritarianism.

Shortly after assuming power, the party — led by Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the twin brother of Lech Kaczynski, the Polish president killed in the 2010 crash in Smolensk, Russia — passed laws that effectively hobbled the highest constitutional court and firmed up government control over public news media and state prosecutions.

Now, the government is cracking down on public gatherings as well as moving to regulate and monitor civic, nongovernmental organizations.

Skype is a codeword for Jews. Created in response to the plans to censor "hate speech" (sic) on "social media."
