Maria Ejchart, Deputy Minister of Justice, announced in an interview with the Polish daily Rzeczpospolita on Monday that the ministry aims to release approximately 20,000 prisoners due to overcrowding in the country's prisons. She also mentioned that the first early releases have already occurred.

She stated that, consistent with her previous declaration, all 580 cells in Poland holding more than ten inmates were closed by the end of January. "Usually, there were 14 or 16 people in them... In such a situation, there is no possibility of resocialization," the official emphasized.

"In fact, the prisons are overcrowded. The main reason for this is the severity of the law and the policy of the previous government... A codification committee for criminal law, appointed in recent days, will work on changing these provisions," Ejchart said, emphasizing that this committee is independent of the Ministry of Justice.

Comment: One wonders whether this potentially disastrous policy - which many debt-ridden European countries are facing - has anything to do with Poland's recently elected, questionable, government?

Note that this is also being considered at a time when poverty, crime, and societal unrest, is increasing:

US aviation & telecoms warn traffic volumes during solar eclipse could cause disruption to services

eclipse us 2024
Up to one million are set for Texas, 500,000 in Indiana and Ohio and nearly 400,000 people could travel to New York - and US network providers fear the increased demand could trigger connection delays or dropped calls
An air travel warning has been issued for April's highly anticipated solar eclipse due to 'a higher traffic volume than normal anticipated at airports.'

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) made the announcement Thursday, saying airports along and near the 'path of totality' will likely experience delays and rerouting from April 7 through April 10.

Hundreds of airports from Maine to Texas are under the warning, including America's busiest facility Dallas-Fort Worth International which sees more than 200,000 travelers each day.

The announcement comes as state officials fear cellular service could be disrupted also due to the influx of visitors - up to 3.7 million people are set to flock to regions set for the 'Great North America Eclipse.'

Comment: There's a few other notable events scheduled for this year:

The Language Of Force: How The Police State Muzzles Our Right To Speak Truth To Power

"If the state could use [criminal] laws not for their intended purposes but to silence those who voice unpopular ideas, little would be left of our First Amendment liberties, and little would separate us from the tyrannies of the past or the malignant fiefdoms of our own age. The freedom to speak without risking arrest is 'one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation.'"

- Justice Neil Gorsuch, dissenting, Nieves v. Bartlett (2019)
Tyrants don't like people who speak truth to power.

Cue the rise of protest laws, which take the government's intolerance for free speech to a whole new level and send the resounding message that resistance is futile.

In fact, ever since the Capitol protests on Jan. 6, 2021, state legislatures have introduced a broad array of these laws aimed at criminalizing protest activities.

There have been at least 205 proposed laws in 45 states aimed at curtailing the right to peacefully assemble and protest by expanding the definition of rioting, heightening penalties for existing offenses, or creating new crimes associated with assembly.

Best of the Web: Israel's red heifers and the looming sacrifice at Al-Aqsa mosque to bring about the 'messiah and end times' - CBS

red heifer israel
© CBS NewsYitshak Mamo, of Uvne Jerusalem, a group committed to seeing a new Jewish temple built in Jerusalem's Old City, speaks with CBS News at his home in a settlement in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

The cows he was talking about are red heifers, which now graze at a secure, undisclosed location in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Some Jews and Christians believe they're key to rebuilding the Jewish temple that once stood in Jerusalem, and to beckoning the Messiah.

To understand, you have to look back almost 2,000 years in the tumultuous history of the Middle East, when the ancient Romans destroyed the last temple in Jerusalem.

To rebuild it, fervent believers point to the Bible's Book of Numbers, which commands the Israelites to offer "a red heifer without defect or blemish and that has never been under a yoke."

An Amish farmer in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, embroiled in a lawsuit by the state's Department of Agriculture over the sale of his raw dairy products, will once again be permitted to sell his goods across state lines, according to a statement released on social media by his attorney.

"Major win today for #AmosMiller the #Amish farmer," attorney Robert E. Barnes posted on X, formerly Twitter, on March 19. "Court agreed to modify injunction so that it only applies within the state of Pennsylvania removing the ban on sales to customers outside [the] state."

In an interview with The Epoch Times, Mr. Barnes claimed prosecutors had tried to make an example out of his client, Amos Miller.

"The goal of this case was to make a precedent out of Amos Miller and to discourage small farmers from being in existence," Mr. Barnes said.

"If they control our food, they can control the people."

Comment: Mr. Miller has been waging his legal battle for years. He's not the only target of government overreach: What is different about the Amish (aside from clean eating, clean living, and strong family values)?

Oregon: War on food is spreading in US through land-use restrictions

oregon farm
Remember, it really is all about depopulation

The World Economic Forum warned us several years ago that its ultimate goal was to destroy the middle class. How else would you explain their slogan: "You will own nothing and learn to like it"?

This mantra is playing out in real time in the state of Oregon, and other states, in various forms which we will get into in this article.

Small farmers are under attack in the Beaver State, which has begun shutting down family farms throughout the state under the guise of water conservation and groundwater protection.

The owner of Yanasa Ama Ranch shared a 20-minute video explaining what is going on in Oregon as bureaucrats erroneously classify small family farms and homesteads as "concentrated animal feeding operations," or CAFOs, in order to shut them down. Any feeding area that has a concrete, rock or gravel floor falls into this category, which would include most small dairy or egg farms.

If you have two or three milking cows, the rancher explains, you are now targeted by the state for closure.

Turns out we DO have a Deep State according to the NY Times ...and it's "awesome"

deep state
After years of denials, the mainstream media has decided to admit the Deep State does exist...and apparently it's "awesome".

At least, according to this new video from the New York Times:
It Turns Out the 'Deep State' Is Actually Kind of Awesome
The video itself is a six-minute strawman, presenting interviews with rocket scientists - as if they genuinely think that's what people mean when they refer to the deep state - then piling on insanely manipulative attempts to "humanise" the concept of the Deep State by talking about these guys' hobbies and interests.

It's cheesy and flippant and every bit as cringe as it sounds:

"Invasion": Riot erupts after migrant swarm breaches US southern border, National Guard overwhelmed

migrants riot texas border eagle pass national guard
© James Breeden for New York Post / MegaA group of over 100 migrants attempting to enter the U.S. illegally rush a border fence on Thursday, March 21, 2024.
Shocking scenes were caught on tape in El Paso - which technically is in Texas but may as well be in Mexico - on Thursday afternoon when a massive swarm of angry illegal aliens stormed the key chokepoint to the US southern border, breaking through the border wall and steamrolling National Guard troops.

For those still unconvinced, this nation is being invaded, this video of illegals storming the border today should convince you otherwise.

The illegal immigrants are seen pulling the barrier open as four National Guardsmen try to keep them from crossing the border in the video posted on X by New York Post reporter Jennie Taer Thursday. The illegal immigrants rush through the gap opened, almost tramping the National Guard personnel, until coming up against a second, sturdier barrier.

Ternopol Region in western Ukraine announced on Tuesday that it had decorated Yaroslav Hunka, the World War II Nazi soldier controversially cheered by Canadian lawmakers in parliament. The medal was presented on Hunka's 99th birthday to his great-niece.

Hunka served in the 14th Waffen SS division, which was made up of Ukrainian volunteers and was responsible for atrocities against Poles, Jews, and the Soviet resistance.

Ternopol official Oleg Sirotyuk handed the 'Yaroslav Stetsko' medal for service to Hunka's relative, Olga Vitkovska, with the expectation that she will eventually present it to her great-uncle in Canada.

The regional council had voted to give Hunka the medal on February 6, citing his "significant personal contribution to the provision of assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, active charity and public activity," according to a document quoted by the Ukrainian outlet Suspilne.

Best of the Web: Mass shooting and explosion reported at concert hall near Moscow leaves dozens killed and wounded

crocus shooting
A renowned Moscow region concert venue and shopping centre is on fire on Friday evening, following reports of a mass shooting incident.

At least three gunmen, wearing combat fatigues, burst into Crocus City Hall and fired automatic weapons, injuring dozens of patrons and killing a significant number of them, according to Russian media.

Some media report that 40 people were killed and more than 100 injured as a result of the shooting. No official confirmation has been issued yet.

Press outlets report the use of explosives and video shows black smoke rising above the building. State news wire service TASS suggests up to a third of the huge complex has been engulfed in flames.

Comment: It is likely no coincidence that on March 8th the American and British embassies issued a warning telling all US nationals still in Russia to avoid large gatherings and public venues in Moscow. What did they know?
