The Polish pastor who went viral after forcefully ejecting police and health officials from his church in Calgary, Alberta, over the Easter weekend received another visit from them on Saturday, prompting him to kick them off church property again.
Pastor Artur Pawlowski, who recorded the incident, went on to warn his viewers against what he believes is growing state tyranny in Western countries done in the name of public health.
“I’m not really interested in what you have to say,” Pawlowski told the public health inspector as she offered him a court order permitting them to enter the church to investigate potential public health violations.
“I do not cooperate with Gestapo,” Pawlowski told the health inspector, who was flanked by several armed, black-clad Calgary Police officers. “I do not talk to the Nazis. You came in your uniforms like thugs. That’s what you are. Brownshirts of Adolf Hitler. You are Nazi Gestapo, communists, fascists. I do not cooperate with Nazis. Talk to my lawyer. You are not allowed here, you are not welcomed here, and I’m not going to cooperate with Gestapo like you, okay?”
The health inspector and police slunk away after Pawlowski made clear he was not interested in having a conversation. “You are sick, that’s what you are!” he yelled as they left. “And rightfully so you change your uniforms to black, because you are exactly acting like the Gestapo of old.”
Turning the camera on himself, Pawlowski thundered that the tactics of the Calgary Police and the health inspector were “sickening,” especially since they came armed and apparently wanted to get into the church during a service.
“If Canadians will not rise up and stand up, if they will not come to their senses while there is still time, while there is a time to wake up and push this evil, there will be absolutely no, no rights whatsoever,” Pawlowski continued. “If they can get away with this, they’re going to come anywhere else. And, you know, that’s what people do not understand. They think that this is some kind of a game. Do you think that they are here for your health? Seriously?”
Pawlowski, who grew up under the jackboot of the Soviets behind the Iron Curtain in Poland, said, “I have been warning you for 16 years about what’s coming, and it’s here. And it’s up to you. Either you are going to keep pushing as hard as you can, or you are going to be [swallowed] by those people. The history is teaching us that those types of people will never stop.”
Likening it to death by a thousand cuts, Pawlowski said state authorities are attempting to strip Westerners of their rights little by little until all their freedom is gone.
“You know, when we were warning Canadians and Americans, Westerners, about what’s coming, we could smell it for many years,” Pawlowski said, adding that people laughed at him and accused him of overreacting and being a conspiracy theorist. “However, it’s here. It’s here. And you cannot come and worship God without the interference of the Gestapo. You cannot pray with people, you cannot associate, you cannot have Lord’s Supper together. Why? Because the government says so.”
“You would think that this would happen in China, in Russia, but it’s happening here in a Western democracy. What are you going to do about it? Will you stand up? Will you fight? Will you push? Or will you just bow to the medical tyranny — because that’s what it is — and give up everything, because they’re coming for everything?”
“Wake up or else,” Pawlowski added.
After talking to a parishioner who expressed her belief that the state authorities are “possessed,” Pawlowski concluded by floating his theory that the government continues to push people in an attempt to foment revolution so they can seize more power.
