In late August, local media in Gdańsk raised the alarm that local authorities were planning to fell 300 diseased and dying trees, some of them at least a century old, along a section of road north-west of the city.
If you have ever driven, cycled, or simply walked anywhere in Poland’s northern Pomerania region, the tree-lined roads are impossible to miss. Often planted back in the 19th century, when the region was still part of Germany, the trees have now grown tall and thick to become one of Pomerania’s landmarks.
“These beautiful trees…are older than the grandparents of those who decide to fell them,” the writer Stanisław Łubieński told Gazeta Wyborcza. “Whole worlds inhabit them: birds, invertebrates, mushrooms. Under normal conditions, they would be natural monuments.”
It was Łubieński who, driving through the region, spotted that the trees on either side of the road had numbers painted on them, an oft-used way to mark those slated for removal. He alerted the media and started a petition to save the avenue.
In response to the backlash, the local road authorities claimed that the trees were in poor health and rotting inside, and that high winds could cause serious damage. Removing them was a “preventative measure”.
When asked about this explanation, Agata Brzezińska, head of the Aquila Foundation, a nature protection NGO, sighs.
“This is commonplace where we work, which is the Wrocław county. Sadly, there is good evidence to suggest that it is commonplace countrywide,” Brzezińska told Notes from Poland.
The evidence Brzezińska refers to is fragmentary, because there are no data at the national level on how many trees are being felled in Poland every year outside of the forests (where logging has also been on the rise, according to a recent study in Nature).
Yet national and local media reveal do much to reveal that, as Brzeziński and other activists note, this is clearly a widespread issue. A search of local news about felling of trees in Polish towns and cities returns close to 100 articles from nearly as many locations published in the past 30 days alone.
Typical reasons given for removal include safety and clearing the land for investment, such as a new or upgraded road. Yet the loss of trees causes not only aesthetic hardship, it also damages the local environment, as they help retain rainwater and the reduce the so-called heat island effect.
The news reports also document what seems a growing citizens’ movement against the removals – sometimes even pulling off a victory over what Brzezińska describes as a mix of ignorance and laziness.
“Earlier this year we saved an avenue in Unisław Śląski [in Lower Silesia] from being destroyed after local authorities simply ordered that 53 trees be chopped down – they are around 90 years old – without properly analysing the state of their health,” Brzezińska said.
Brzezińska’s foundation took the matter to court and won, with the local authorities ordered to reconsider their decision to cut the trees down.
“The court also spelled out what exactly is wrong with inconsiderate getting rid of trees in general,” Brzezińska said.
In its pronouncement, the court pointed out that trees by the roadside “prevent drivers from being blinded by headlights of vehicles coming from the opposite direction and protect the road from wind and snow as well as from excessive noise, air, water and soil pollution”.
They are also a valuable element of the landscape and “should be protected carefully,” the court said. These are the basics of what anyone responsible for trees should know, Brzezińska says. “Yet, too often, cost calculation wins,” she says.
…Andrzej Gąsiorowski, a lawyer living in Sochaczew near Warsaw, and also one of the founders of FOTA4Climate, an environmental movement, says cutting trees should be all but banned altogether.
“We must not cut trees because they mitigate the effects of climate change. Trees are also vital for maintaining biodiversity in cities,” said Gąsiorowski, who runs a blog highlighting cases of the “pathological and compulsive human activity that cutting trees is”.
“We need trees to diminish the heat island effect in cities and reduce pollution first and foremost. There are 44,000 premature deaths in Poland because of air pollution and yet we’re cutting trees countrywide,” says Marzena Suchocka.
“Trees, especially old ones, are irreplaceable. Cut down a 200-year-old tree and no amount of new trees will ever replace it unless you want to wait 200 years for them to start delivering the same amount of ecosystem services,” she adds.
Anyone familiar with the draconian dictates of the United Nations Agenda 21 will recognize exactly where this mania over trees is headed — they want it to become an international crime against humanity to cut down any tree without proper approval by a court of law and environmental “experts”.
This article points out that there is no national data collected in Poland about how many trees are cut down in the country outside the lumber industry — as if there should be.
Imagine the bureaucracy that would be required to keep those statistics and monitor every tree potentially cut down.
At one time, most of Poland — and every other European nation — was virtually clear cut to make way for farmland to feed people — trees may be attractive but they don’t feed people.
And despite that massive amount of clear cutting, the environment in Poland didn’t seem to suffer — the earth didn’t heat up apparently.
No one can seriously believe there is a “war on trees” in Poland — or that local towns enjoy cutting down trees for the fun of it — or because they think tree-less streets are more attractive.
This issue isn’t about trees or saving the planet — it’s about government control of every aspect of your everyday life.
And the idea that the Rothschild banking cabal promotes the “Green Economy” because they care about the environment is the height of stupidity — this is the same family that financed two World Wars that reduced half of Europe to cinders.

“Peacemeal Functionalism”
“… [I]f the activity for creating a one‑world government is taken away from a single organization like the U.N. and is divided among many different organizations and if the work of these many groups can be made to appear separate, then, piece by piece, treaty by treaty, law by law, issue by issue and organization by organization, everything can be put together like a jigsaw puzzle.”
———-
” Some years ago students of the world’s geopolitics watched the efforts of the United Nations and the Council on Foreign Relations to see what the one‑world government planners were doing. Today, it is not quite that simple. There was simply too much opposition from the average citizen to push through a one‑world government when there was no apparent value in doing it. So they changed their tactics.
It was Harland Cleveland, a very powerful figure in the Aspen Institute for International Humanism who argued that if the powerful globalist institutions want to bring about a World Government, there must be a change in plans. Cleveland pointed out that the League of Nations and the United Nations tried to make direct attempts to set up a World Government and both, by themselves, failed miserably. So a new plan was needed, according to Cleveland, and he called it “Peacemeal Functionalism.”
The Trilateral Commission, followed this idea and explained it as follows: “In general, the prospects for achieving effective international co‑operation (control) can often be improved if the issues can be kept (to appear to be) separate, what we call piecemeal functionalism…Coalitions of specialists can be built across national boundaries in specific functional areas, blunting the nationalism that might otherwise hinder agreement…Functionally specific international organizations succeed far better than multi‑purpose organizations such as the United Nations in accomplishing concrete tasks.”
In other words, if the activity for creating a one‑world government is taken away from a single organization like the U.N. and is divided among many different organizations and if the work of these many groups can be made to appear separate, then, piece by piece, treaty by treaty, law by law, issue by issue and organization by organization, everything can be put together like a jigsaw puzzle.
Richard Gardner[307] says that “end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish more than the old‑fashioned frontal assault.”
To make this system of “Piecemeal Functionalism” work, the planners for the One‑World Government utilize the system of Hegellian Dialects. They call it “Management by Crisis.” The system is basic.
First, create, invent or find an existing crisis.
Second, widely publicize that crisis.
Third, after the masses are convinced that there is indeed a crisis, a solution is offered, always using the “expert” opinions of academia such as Carl Sagan. That solution is always centered around the need for “world cooperation.”
There are many examples to make the point. The immigration crisis, the environmental crisis, the “greenhouse effect,” the ozone holes, the wildlife crisis, the killing‑the‑whales crisis, cutting‑ down‑the‑rain‑forest crisis, the need for gun registration or confiscation, the man‑made famine in Ethiopia, the trade‑zone crisis with Mexico and the war with Iraq are just a few examples of Management by Crisis. The trick is to get as many groups as possible organized to publicize the crisis. This will cause a large share of the population to believe in the crisis and want to do something. They send in money and totally support those who created the crisis.
Thousands of jobs are lost in the Northwest timber industry since they can’t cut timber in an area where the Spotted Owl is decreasing in numbers. Families are losing their own private property because of the “wet‑lands” policy. Ranchers are losing their century‑old grazing rights on federal lands because of “overgrazing” caused by federal quotas.
The lending institutions are in shambles because of government instituted mismanagement. The basic heavy industries are dying again because of government‑instituted mismanagement. It is not only in the United States. We find the same system of planned Management by Crisis in all of the Western countries. With this new system of “Piecemeal Functionalism,” the intentions are to continue “Management by Crisis” until the entire world reaches a point they have named “Critical Instability.” They believe that the people of the world will, at the point of “Critical Instability,” demand a new type of society.
Willis Harman, a consultant to the National Goals Research Staff of the White House, observes, “We are in the early stages of a change much more far‑reaching than the Industrial Revolution. It is a metamorphosis that will transform every institution, every profession, every aspect of modern society.”

But consider the alternative explanation that clearing trees from urban settings is required to facilitate optimum function of 5G installations— a top priority for the Global elite…
Jas
Sadly, yes, Poland is a big promoter of 5G — they clearly believe 5G is the key to their future economic success — and it just might turn into their worst nightmare.

Although these links below are about Hungary, this shows that the organized forces pushing many of the same or similar agendas in Europe are very similar to those we face inside America. Soros has been more active in those regions than he has even been here. In 2006, Rothschild agent, Soros, created an offshoot of the US’s CFR inside Europe, spreading communistic-style networks and propaganda through the ECFR, and even before then had been busy organizing “Color” revolutions. The site has removed his name from it’s public list as founder, where it had once appeared.
Their (((media))) fully support them wherever they are.

Our Homeland, Hungarian patriotic group rep, shreds a homo propaganda book, “Wonderland belongs to Everyone” [October 05, 2020]
“The Our Homeland [Hungarian] Movement does not accept that children are being subjected to homosexual propaganda (…). Homosexual princes are not part of Hungarian culture,” Dúró said at a press conference held on Sept. 25, during which she tore out pages of the book and then placed them in a shredder.”
“An “alternative” [queer] storybook portraying the heroes of traditional Hungarian folk and fairy tales as belonging to minorities such as lesbian or Roma has sparked a major controversy in Hungary after Dóra Dúró, vice-president of the “far-right” [a native-born Hungarian patriotic] Our Homeland Movement, publicly tore up and shredded a copy of it.
In the book, “Meseország mindenkié” (“Wonderland Belongs to Everyone”), a dozen young authors [queer and Roma jew-types] reinterpret classic Hungarian folk tales portraying the protagonists as belonging to “oppressed minorities”.
We can only wonder whether the death threats made to Miss Dúró came from the “oppressed minorities”, or whether those threats actually came from the “dozen young authors”? We won’t find out that answer from the reporter who is submitting this story.
