>Today 6000 farmers marched in Warsaw to protest 
>the Polish government's failure to address their 
>longstanding demands. After failed talks between 
>Union leaders and the prime minister this 
>afternoon farmers built an occupation camp 
>outside the prime ministers palace and have 
>vowed to remain until their demands are met.
>
>
>
>Protests have been taking place across the 
>country over the last three weeks with a range 
>of organisations from community groups and local 
>protest committees to regional and national 
>unions blockading roads and government 
>ministries in hundreds of locations. At the 
>national level the protests are being 
>coordinated by the farmers branch of the 
>Solidarity union. The protests today are also 
>being supported by unions representing 
>bee-keepers, coal miners and nurses who are also on strike.
>
>
>
>The key demands of the Solidarity Union are for 
>robust legislation to address three main concerns:
>
>
>
>ñ Land rights  implement regulation to prevent 
>land-grabs by Western companies and to protect 
>family farmers rights to land  (NB. From 2016 
>foreign buyers will be legally able to buy Polish land).
>
>ñ Legalize direct sales of farm produce  the 
>government must take action to improve farmers 
>position in the market, including the adoption 
>of a law to facilitate direct sales of processed 
>and unprocessed farm products (NB. Poland has 
>the most exclusionary policies in Europe around 
>on-farm processing of food products and direct 
>sales, which make it impossible for family 
>farmers to compete with bigger food companies).
>
>ñ Ban the cultivation and sale of Genetically Modified Organisms in Poland.
>
>ñ Impliment regulation to ensure farmers are 
>compensated for losses caused by the 
>government's and the EU's negligent policies 
>towards quotas, control of wild animals and trade embargos.
>
>
>
>These demands build on long standing grievances 
>among farmers who say that the  government has 
>not fulfilled agreements and contracts, leading 
>to bankruptcy for many farmers, loss of 
>agricultural land and to an agricultural model 
>that has prohibited the direct sale of products 
>and forced farmers to focus on selling raw 
>products into the low-priced export market which 
>are then processed by international companies 
>and re-imported leaving Polish farmers with 
>little of the real value of the products.
>
>
>
>Speaking at the protest Maria and Mariusz Nowak, 
>family farmers from Zachodniopomorskie province 
>said: The government needs to resign! We should 
>withdraw our membership of the European Union 
>and recover our national food self-sufficiency. 
>It is crazy that we import products we can 
>produce here - Our products are better quality 
>and are healthier. The government is undermining 
>polish farmers and needs to resign!
>
>
>
>Jadwiga Lopata, a family farmer and co-director 
>of the International Coalition to Protect the 
>Polish Countryside (ICPPC) said: The health and 
>welfare of the nation depends on consumers and 
>farmers having access to traditional seeds and 
>good quality food. The Polish government does 
>not accept this and is destroying the roots of 
>Polish agriculture by listening to corporations rather than Polish people.

"The maintenance of secrets acts like a psychic 
poison which alienates the possessor from the community" Carl Jung
<https://217.72.179.7/members/www.bilderberg.org/phpBB2/>https://217.72.179.7/members/www.bilderberg.org/phpBB2/

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered 
that shall not be revealed; and nothing hid that 
shall not be made known. What I tell you in 
darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye 
hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27

Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.
