1000 injured in nuclear protests, police at breaking point

Like the Roman legions vanquished in the Teutoburger Wald in Lower
Saxony in 9 AD, the 17,000 police officers that marched into the
woods around the nuclear storage facility in Gorleben in northern
Germany on Sunday morning looked invincible. Police personnel from
France, Croatia and Poland had joined in the biggest security
operation ever mounted against protestors against the a train
carrying nuclear waste to a depot in an isolated part of �Lower
Saxonys countryside. Helicopters, water canons and police vehicles,
including an armoured surveillance truck, accompanied an endless
column of anti-riot police mounted on horses and also marching down
the railway tracks into the dense woods. Tens of thousands of anti
riot police clattered along the tracks, their helmets and visors
gleaming in the morning sun, and wearing body armour, leg guards
and carrying batons.

But by Sunday night, those same police officers were begging the
protestors for a respite.

Trapped in black, icy �woods without supplies or reinforcements
able to reach them because of blockades by a mobile fleet of farmers
tractors, the exhausted and hungry police officers requested
negotiations with the protestors. A water cannon truck was blocked
by tractors, and yet the police still had to clear 5000 people lying
on the railway track at Harlingen in pitch darkness. The largest
ever police operation had descended into chaos and confusion in the
autumn woods of Lower Saxony, defeated by the courage and determination
of peaceful protestors who marched for miles through woods to find
places to lie down on the tracks and to scoop out gravel to delay
the progress of the the train from hell.

The police union head Reiner Wendt gave vent to the general frustration
when he issued a press statement via the DPA news agency last night
saying the police had reached exhaustion point and needed a break.
Behind the scenes, a battle seemed to be raging between the police
chiefs, tucked up in their warm headquarters urging more action,
and the exhausted officers on the ground.

The police on the ground won out. The Castor train �called a Chernobyl
on wheels because it has been carrying 133 tonnes of highly radioactive
waste to an unsafe depot �was stopped in the middle of the countryside
and Nato barbed wire was placed around it. Lit by floodlights and
guarded by a handful of police, the most dangerous train on the
planet was forced to a halt after a 63 hour journey across France
and Germany.

The defeat of the legions at Teutoburg marked the end of the attempt
by the Roman empire to conquer Germania magna. And the failure of
the biggest ever police operation two thousand years later in the
woods of Lower Saxony to tame women, elderly people and school
children protesting the governments nuclear policy, could well also
go down as a turning point.

The Berlin government can no longer rely on the discredited mainstream
media to control the way people see issues. Too many people recognise
it to be a tool of propaganda. The government now needs to resort
to brute force to bludgeon through decisions that enrich corporations
and banks and impoverish everyone else. But the police forces �at
its disposal are simply not sufficient given the scale of the
protests now gripping Germany. Only 1,500 police reinforcements
could be mustered on Morning from the entire territory to deal with
road blockades by thousands of protestors aiming to delay the
transport of the nuclear waste on the final leg of its journey.

The police officers were exhausted after shifts of 24 hours or more,
often without any food or just a cappucino and snack bar, and they
had nothing to look forward to but more of the same drudgery after
a night spent four to a room in a Youth Hostel.

A leading figure in a German police police union Bernard Witthaut
today even lashed out at the government for trying to drive through
unpopular policies using the police.

Whether in Stuttgart or in Wendland today my colleagues are simply
not getting out of their anti riot gear because of the wrong decisions
by the government, he said.

Many police officers also expressed sympathy with the protestors
aims.

The question now is: how long can the use of police to bludgeon
protestors continue when the protests are reaching this scale? How
long can Germany be governed by a semi authoritarian regime using
brute force when the force at its disposal is so small? The German
army cannot be deployed on this kind of mission without sparking
even more outrage. A false flag terrorist operation will hardly
wash when the people are so fed up with the government lies and the
media lies. EU soldiers will find it hard to deal with the Germans.
The German and EU secret police cannot infiltrate all of the
protestors organizations when there are simply so many.

The German people as a whole are on the march.

Citizens in rebellion, shouted a TAZ headline.

Civil war in Wendtand, fumed Bild.

NGO chief Kersin Rudek spoke for many when she said:

We have lost faith in the government until they prove that their
politics is for the people and not for the corporations.

She talked about the anger among people at the arrogance of the
political class.

As in the Stuttgart 21 railway protests, it was people from all
walks of life, a genuine grass roots movement, that arrived in
Wendland to protest the decision by the CDU/CSU/FDP government to
ignore a legally binding deadline to phase out nuclear power. Against
the wishes of the majority, Bilderberg Chancellor Angela Merkel
announced this autumn that 17 reactors would continue for another
12 years at gigantic cost to the tax payer in subsidies.

The tax payers of Lower Saxony even have to foot the bill of �50
million euro for the police operation to protect the nuclear waste
and not the electricity companies making a fortune from the extravagant
energy source while the government keeps investments in ground-breaking
new renewable energy technologies such as the third generation solar
cells at a negligible amount.

As in Stutggart, the police used savage force against peaceful
demonstrators reinforcing the impression of a government out of
control and refusing to respect the basic democratic right of people
to hold protests without being beaten to a pulp. Videos of the
Castor transport on Sunday show police beating people with their
truncheons, punching them and throwing them to the ground.

Police also used tear gas, pepper spray and water canon.

http://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/0,1518,727706,00.html

One clip shows a police officer using his fist to punch a man lying
on the railway track in the head.

About a 1000 people were injured, it is reported. 950 people are
reported to have suffered eye injuries due to pepper spray and tear
gas, according to a spokesperson of Castor schottern. Another sixteen
protestors suffered broken bones. There were 29 severe head wounds.
Two people had to be taken to hospital.

http://www.ftd.de/politik/deutschland/:live-ticker-zum-atomprotest-ca...
ner-beklagen-1000-verletzte/50192073.html

One person had to be taken by helicopter after suffering multiple
bone fractures after being trampled by a police horse.

But as in Stuttgart, the people did not give up in spite of the
risk of savage beatings at the hands of the police. They insisted
on their civic right enshrined in the constitution to hold peaceful
political protests.

More than 50,000 people from all parts of the country and all walks
of life attended a rally on a field close to Dannenberg. Thousands
then marched through the autumn woods, splitting into small groups
to descend into the valley, break through police lines to chain
themselves to the rails or remove gravel from the �tracks to delay
the train.

According to Spiegel, 7000 people alone took part in the road and
railway blockades.

An armoured police car was set on fire by masked men but it is not
clear if this was an agent pravocateur acting to discredit the
protestors. A video shows a man able to walk up to the armoured car
and set it alight unhindered.

The overwhelming number of protestors were peaceful.

In spite of the sub zero temperatures and ground frost, up to 5000
protestors lay down on the railway tracks at Harlingen late in the
evening and refused to move. Supplies of hot tea, food and blankets
were brought to them by mobile kitchens. Fires were lit to help
stay warm.

The police worked from midnight until 7 am to clear protestors
blocking the track, dragging many to an open air prison concentration
camp where people were forced to sleep in fields surrounded by
police trucks.

This morning, the protestors have regrouped today and thousands are
reported to be preparing to block the transport by road of the
nculear waste from Dannenberg to Gorleben.

aelter-werden-umgeladen-jetzt-droht-strassen-terror.html

The organisers of the protest kept journalists and the public
informed using live tickers, press releases and at Infopoints so
that the whole country could follow the events outside the mainstream
media. Radio Wendland is also broadcasting updates on the incredibly
heroic resistance of so many people. At great personal risk, tens
of thousands of people gave an example of courageous and peaceful
non-violent resistance that will surely go down in history.

If this is the resistance for Castor and Stuttgart 21, just imagine
what will happen when Germans finally grasp the scale of the banking
scam being carried out by their elite.

The CDU/CSU/FDP government has already hit record lows in the polls
and after Sundays savage police operation against peaceful protestors,
support for them is sure to plummet further.

The feudal lords without a feudal army to push through their agenda
of robbery are facing the end of the road now that their media
propaganda apparatus based on the Springer and Bertelsmann empire
is falling apart and their strategy of divide and rule through a
false left/right political paradigm is no longer working.

A new freedom and power was born in the woods of Wendland. And it
belonged to the people who have had enough of the arrogant authoritarian
political class.
