Lech Walesa Not Attending #OccupyWallStreet in New York After Discovering
Hard-Left Organizers
by Adam Andrzejewski
The Polish champion of freedom and liberty, founder of Solidarity, winner of
the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize, and first President of modern Poland Lech
Walesa had been rumored to possibly be traveling to New York to stand with
Occupy Wall Street protesters. Press accounts reporting this “breathless”
news had given all of us pause.
We suspected that the European news media had filtered out accurate
information about the genesis of Occupy Wall Street (OWS).
When Walesa’s comments hit the AP wire last week, my team immediately
reached out to our Polish contacts. We made the point that the political
themes of Occupy Wall Street may have started out with some of the
principles that we share, but OWS themes were rapidly being morphed into
anti-freedom and anti-liberty messages. At the core is the want for a big,
powerful central government to dominate the lives of individual citizens.
Using biggovernment.com plus other news sources, rapidly we painted an
accurate picture of the groups training, leading, and organizing the “
movement.” The movement is organized by anarchists, Code Pink, the American
Communist movement, jihadists, anti-Israel, socialist, and anti- free
enterprise interests. OWS folks are politically to the left of President
Barack Obama.
At the Lech Walesa Institute Foundation in Warsaw, they were thankful to
receive this information.
Based on our discussion and intervention, President Walesa is not going to
get involved with the OWS. He is not comfortable with the “organizations”
behind the movement. It was not a difficult discussion.
The lifetime of good work exercised by President Walesa has lifted people
around the world fighting tyranny. Through the Lech Walesa Institute
Foundation in Warsaw, Walesa has supported freedom and liberty around the
world. As a man primarily responsible for vanquishing communism in Poland,
Walesa has a personal bent toward helping the underdog and the downtrodden.
This spring, when President Obama visited Poland, President Walesa refused
to meet with him.
In January of 2010, Lech Walesa endorsed my campaign for Governor of
Illinois and made national news when he forewarned… “America is sliding
toward socialism.” Watch his remarks below:
Last fall, President Walesa came back to Chicago to raise funds for my good
government organization, For The Good of Illinois. We held a tremendous
event at University Club, Chicago where over four hundred people were in
attendance.
America is a center-right country politically. The Occupy movement, at its
core, is a hard-left movement. If successful, America would cease to be
governed on our founding principles of freedom and liberty. Thus, we react
to the news that Lech Walesa will not support the OWS movement with much
thankfulness. |
