Warsaw, November 11th: The Nationalist Riots and the Deception by the Media

The article has been translated to English by PsiOp-Radio listener Geoff Vasil. Neither PsiOp-Radio nor Geoff offer this article as absolute fact. However, it does seem to be the mostly likely explication of the complex series of events which unfolded in Warsaw on its most recent Independence Day.

Warsaw, November 11th: The Nationalist Riots and the Deception by the Media

3 12 2011

["Warning Shot" for Robokopter from Warsaw Riot Cops?]

The following article is from the Lithuanian website of Antifa, the local (Antifascist) activist group. We recently covered the Independence Day riots in Warsaw, commenting upon the use of the Robokopter drone video footage, the confusion apparent when juxtaposing the official media accounts and amateur videos of the various events across the city that day, and comparing the activism / protest of the American Occupy Movement (and the Police & Government’s reactions to it) and the Anti-Fascism activists in Warsaw, Lithuania.

Warsaw, November 11th: The Nationalist Riots and the Deception by the Media

November 13, 2011 / www.antifa.lt

On Friday, November 11, Polish nationalists calling themselves “patriots,” including many fascist skinheads and ultra-right football hooligans, rioted in the biggest riot for the past 20 years. Warsaw’s central square looked like a large battlefield Friday afternoon. Nationalists hiding behind the innocuous-sounding “March of Independence” showed their true face, twisted with hate and violence.

The march by the Polish ultra-right, similar to the infamous March 11 marches in Lithuania, was organized by the Young Poles (Młodzież Wszechpolska) organization, known for their racist attacks and pogroms against Jews before World War II; the anti-Semitic League of Nationalist Radicals (Obóz Narodowo-Radykalny or ONR) and the Nazi skinhead group Blood and Honor (Krew i Honor).

About 2,000 Polish nationalists assembled at Constitution Square in the center of Warsaw at 3 P.M. The “Independence March” planned to march in a column to a statue commemorating inter-war period leader of the Polish Nationalists and Anti-Semites, Roman Dmowski.

At the same time about 500 antifascist movement members assembled on Marszalkowska street and blocked the street along which the nationalists intended to march. The antifascist youth were invited to the blockade by the November 11 Coalition, made up of around 50 organizations and movements. The highly diverse crowd of antifascists who designated themselves Colored Independence (Kolorowa Niepodległa) included anarchists, antifascists with black cloths obscuring their faces, LGBT representatives with rainbow flags, liberal-minded youth and just plain city residents. They sat down on the ground and blocked the street with their bodies. This is how the Colored Independence blockade appeared from above (00:00-00:42):

The antifascist blockade several blocks from Constitution Square was not needed, however. On the square after marching several dozen meters the nationalists attacked the police with fireworks and a hail of cobblestones. Police lines quickly blocked the nationalists off at the end of the square and wouldn’t let them proceed. The enraged nationalists put metal crowbars to work and the police answered with rubber nightsticks. Constitution Square became a battle arena cloaked in smoke:

Police were able to push the violent nationalists out of the square before 4 P.M., but the latter formed smaller groups and tried to push through police cordons on side streets. The nationalists so ready to wage battle hid their faces with white hoods (see 2:18-3:24):

The people in the Colored Independence blockade were guarded by police cordons on both sides, did not meet with arriving nationalists on the march and gradually dispersed. Meanwhile, the nationalists, in a fury over their unsuccessful march, organized a “Cleansing of the streets of Warsaw of Communists and homosexuals.” Small groups of nationalists and antifascists crossed paths numerous times in the city. Occasionally the nationalists received an appropriate response:

The groups of nationalists fanning out along side streets continued the riot by destroying police and civilian automobiles. Several cars were set alight and the nationalists torched the mobile studio of TVN 24 and trashed several cafes.

Towards evening the nationalists regrouped and were able to hold a march. Several thousand people marched to the Dmowski statue and held a meeting, but the riots continued into late evening.

Media Deception

On November 11 and 12 the corporate media carried a multitude of reports giving the impression that the riots by the Polish ultranationalists were caused by … anarchists. Here is a reported Baltic News Service sent out on November 12 (“Foreigners Took Part in Riots by Hooligans in Warsaw”) which was carried be delfi.lt , which only mentions anarchists and says not a word about nationalists. Certain sentences are formulated to give the reader the impression the “March of Independence” was organized by … anarchists: “The demonstration by Polish anarchists was legal and the organizers guaranteed security, but the ‘Independence March’ was escorted by water canon and tear gas.” This ignores the obvious fact that it was clearly the ranks of the column of nationalists who began the riot on Constitution Square while the anarchists at that time were several blocks away on Marszalkowksa street.

Nationalists at Constitution Square

Antifascists and anarchists on Marszalkowska stree

The right-wing media of Poland and other countries explained deceptively that foreign anarchists arriving from Germany took part in the riot and even caused it. Delfi.lt wrote: “According to TVN 24, a large contingent of anarchists from abroad aided the Polish hooligans. Of the 210 most active rioters arrested by police, 92 are German citizens, one is Spanish, one is Hungarian and one is Danish.” This gives the absurd impression that foreign anarchists came to the aid of the nationalists who are named as hooligans.

On November 11 in Warsaw there really were significant contingents of antifascists and anarchists arriving from other countries. The same holds for the nationalists: the “March of Independence” including nationalists arriving from Serbia, Hungary and Ukraine. Even so, it would have been impossible for the foreign anarchists to have caused the riot which began at 3 P.M. if only for the fact that they were detained at police stations. At noon on November 11 about 100 antifascists and anarchists from Germany and other countries met at a cafe on a side street. Local neo-Nazis attempted to attack them several times there. There were small scuffles. At about 1 P.M. the antifascists dressed in black moved out toward Marszalkowska street to join the blockade, but they were met immediately by police batons. Thus, two hours before the onset of the riot, the entire contingent of foreign antifascists and anarchists was arrested and taken to police stations. These people were released the next day without any charges.

Lrytas.lt (Warsaw Riots Shock Poland), which reported on the November 11 events in Warsaw a lot more objectively, nonetheless made a small mistake. The reporter wrote: “Police detained a group of German anarchists who came to block the nationalist march, but who instead attacked soldiers in a theatrical parade in the city center around noon.” As can be seen from the photographs, the people from the History Reconstruction Club who were wearing period military uniforms marched freely past the antifascists who watched them, and were not attacked.

    • Occupy Chapel Hill Protesters Say Police Actions “Very Over the Top”   – News 14 Carolina—Nov. 14, 2011– triangle.news14.com  Chapel Hill police arrested eight protesters over the weekend in connection with the Occupy movement. They raided a group of anarchists, who say they’re an offshoot of Occupy Chapel Hill, on Sunday at the former Yates Motor Company Building on West Franklin Street, a few blocks from the Occupy camp headquarters known as the Peace and Justice Plaza. Officers say they waited until the crowd was a manageable size before the tactical team of about 20 went in. Protesters told News 14 Carolina police were out of line with the force they used. “To come with assault rifles and shotguns and that sort of tactics were very, very over the top,” Amanda Ashley said.

    • Occupy Chapel Hill – Group not entirely affiliated …    A group from the Anarachist Book Fair (not entirely affiliated with Occupy Chapel Hill) decided they would occupy a building on Franklin St. that has been vacant for at least a decade. This building, known as the “Chrysler Building”, is used by its renter as a tax write off and left abandoned. I happened to be grabbing dinner when I saw cops block off the street. I knew they were probably raiding this site so I headed down to see what was going on. I only had a cell phone with me so that is all I was able to shoot with. The Police raided with assault rifles drawn (which was clearly overkill). I didn’t capture the initial breach, but that apparently came with officers in a white unmarked vehicle. I am not sure if I agree with this group of protester’s tactics in taking the building, but the response was too much. They held it since yesterday prior to the raid which came in the 5pm hour.

    Occupy Seattle: Octogenarian activist Dorli Rainey on being pepper-sprayed by Seattle police, importance of activism

    Eighty-four-year-old activist Dorli Rainey tells Keith about her experience getting pepper-sprayed by the police during an Occupy Seattle demonstration and the need to take action and spread the word of the Occupy movement. She cites the advice of the late Catholic nun and activist Jackie Hudson to [b]“take one more step out of your comfort zone” as an inspiration, saying, “It would be so easy to say, ‘Well I’m going to retire, I’m going to sit around, watch television or eat bonbons,’ but somebody’s got to keep ’em awake and let ’em know what is really going on in this world.”

    current.com

    Rich Lang, the clergyman who was pepper sprayed:

    The police were once conceived to be a citizen force created to serve and protect the public. Today however, the police have been militarized and view the populace as enemy combatants, as threats to their well being. The police, like our Armed Forces, are well trained, disciplined and exceptionally talented. They follow a chain of command and are increasingly apprenticed into a culture of institutional conformity. Because America has always affirmed the right of dissent, the role of the police is to keep the peace. They are trained to enter the protesting arena as unfeeling protectors of property and people. What has changed in our time is that the police are entering the arena of protest as agents of provocation. They push and shove at will, they ride their bicycles up the backs of protesters, they engage in verbal abuse. Their commanders allow this breach of discipline. Their comrades silently condone the bullying. The police become the agitators encouraging violence. It is as if they are spoiling for a fight — a fight mind you against the citizenry, against the youth, the unemployed, and those who are trying to return America back to its promise, and dare I say it, return America to its covenant with God, “we hold these truths to be self evident …”

Mack White: Forty-eight years ago, Mayor Earle Cabell (brother of Charles Cabell, CIA Deputy Director fired by President Kennedy) changed the motorcade route so Kennedy would be caught in triangulated crossfire in Dealey Plaza.Other prominent Dallasites involved in the plot were oilmen Clint Murchison and H. L. Hunt. Prominent Texan, vice-president Lyndon Johnson was also very much inv…olved.In 1963, Dallas was a town that danced to the puppet strings of the military-industrial complex, and apparently that is still the case today. Last year on November 22, distinguished JFK researcher Bob Groden was arrested in Dealey Plaza. This year, the Sixth Floor Museum plans to take control of the Plaza to prevent the “carnival-like” dissemination of the truth that Dallas still prefers would go away.I am speaking of the Dallas Establishment, of course, not the people. Dallas today is a much bigger, more diverse, and sophisticated city than it was when I walked its streets the morning after Kennedy was killed. Surely, this new and better Dallas will do the right thing this November 22 and Occupy Dealey Plaza …The video below, made shortly after the assassination, presents an accurate picture of Dallas in the old days. This is the Dallas I knew–”evil, festering, and stinking,” as Melvin Belli so well put it …
