If you have followed my reporting you probably know about the protests happening in the Netherlands. Tens of thousands of farmers have taken to the streets to protest against new climate goals which will force farmers to shut down their farms.
They have set hay bales on fire on motorways and dumped manure and even blocked supermarket distribution centers.

Around 1/5 of farms will be forced to shut down!
According to calculations done by the Finance ministry, a whopping 11 200 livestock farmers will be forced to shut down by the government to reduce nitrogen emissions in order to meet European environmental rules. Another 17 600 farmers would need to reduce the amount of animals they keep to meet these climate goals.
And this is bad. Because there are about 54 000 farms in the Netherlands, meaning that around 1/5 of all farms will be forced to shut down and almost 1/3 of farms forced to scale down and reduce livestock.
Meaning that thousands and thousands of farmers will be loosing their livelihoods in order to meet government climate goals.
They are literally going to make people loose their livelihoods in order to meet climate goals. That is crazy. Not only that, think about all the food that will be lost as a result of this. We are already facing a food crisis due to sky high fertilizer prices and grain shortages due to the war in Ukraine.
We need more food now, not less! The climate change fanatics are trying to bring us back to the middle ages.
The state is planning on forcing farmers to sell their farms to the state (buying them out). State sanctioned appropriation of farms and land. Now where have I heard about that kind of thing before…? Oh yes, under Communism. I told you that this is Climate Communism and that The Great Reset is just another word for Global Communism.
And it seems like people in the Netherlands are not happy with these government plans, as the political party of the Prime Minister in the Netherlands, VVD, has reached a new all-time low in the polls. If there was an election now, they would lose 13 of their 34 seats in parliament. A whopping 7 out of 10 voters say that they are dissatisfied with the Cabinet of the Prime Minister. Meanwhile the new party called Farmer-Citizen Movement is now polling in second place.
Farmers held a meeting with the government on Friday, however some farmers are not satisfied with the results and are talking about more protests, with a farmers group that claims to represent 95% of agriculture pledging the ”toughest demonstrations ever”.
So the state is planning on forcing farmers to shut down under the excuse of climate change. Forcing them to sell their farms. Essentially this is a form of seizing the means of production. It is basically Communism. Climate Communism.
And we all know how that has gone when the state has seized farms before. Look no further than what happened under Stalin in Ukraine or under Mao in China.
It is not all bad news however. I guess we will be getting brand new factories producing bug snacks. Or we might get more of ”sustainable” supermarkets like the one named Picnic in the Netherlands which got €600 million in investments, the majority coming from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation! This supermarket focusing on things like vegan food and delivering food in electric vehicles.
And guess what!
A millionaire investor at Picnic who has also been the director there, is family with a Dutch Minister who has been involved with these new nitrogen laws.
You will eat the bugs and you will be happy. You will own nothing and you will be happy.

Keep voting in liberals and starve. When are democrats and leftists world wide going to wake up.
Never would be the obvious answer.
Yup, always someone else’s fault.
Couldn’t possibly be all the world ending policies, grooming children, supporting assassinations of political figures, supporting burning down of cities, supporting gulags for political prisoners, supporting censorship and imprisonment for wrong think that’s this issue.
Starving people don’t give a fuck about ideas and policy.
They care about food. Fuck around and find out what starving
people are capable of. Especially when they are armed. the Dutch are armed.
So are we.
Are they really armed??? Then what the H are they waiting for? They need to man up and defend their rights.
Keep your guns and make them enslave you in a hail of lead.
Potential slavers don’t like that option.
Right about the time they are getting attached to the nearest lamp post.
Few are ‘voting’ them in… these communist parasites STEAL their way in. The issue of the People is not having the backbone to enmass protest, sri lanka, and run these asswipes out of the country. HOLD the politicals accountable, prosecute the criminals to the fullest extent of the law and make them suffer the same ceonsequences that the average peon would suffer.
Until this happens then these scum will continue their ways. Stealing the Peoples wealth and power’ If YOU are not willing to stand against this, then YOU are aiding and abetting it…
It will not happen. Plan accordingly.
The one thing that you can count on is the apathy of the masses while change is possible. Almost none will awake before it is too late.
Too many nihilists who just don’t care in every country worldwide, esp. China and other severe dictators like Australia and New Z and parts of S,E. Asia.
The middle east is full of losers who worship their imans (priests) and comply w/out Q to orders.
At this point in time, if I were Dutch and a farmer, I could make a sound argument that I have moral grounds to utilize violence to defend myself, family and land.
WAR has been declared upon them, literally.
IF I were a Dutch farmer RIGHT NOW, I would begin guerilla attacks in earnest, or prepare to lose my farm and way of life.
This IS the red line for most people, regardless of where they live: OUTRIGHT GOV THIEVERY.
And you think a sound argument is going to sway anything? Bring on the bouncy castle
That’s not what it’s about at all. Let me offer some thoughts.
IF a morally sound argument can be made to utilize violent means to defend against malicious attacks, you have the moral high ground. The Moral High Ground…
Many fail to understand just how important the moral high ground is in any engagement. Propagandists don’t.
Honestly holding it means you win. Holding it with lies means you might win. It is important enough that evil will put on a face of good for so many endeavors, at least at first.
The only question, about holding the moral high ground, is the timeline. Sometimes short (American Revolution MIGHT be an example to SOME) and sometimes long (Fall of USSR MIGHT be an example to SOME).
Juked: These farmers need to show they are real men and care for family by doing this. Fighting back w/ attacks. Will they act only after it’s to late and the hammer drops??
Notice how people who plan on fixing things have already been able to form a party and can get elected. We call ourselves free, yet the two worthless parties have set up ballot access barriers that keep other parties from ever getting a foothold.
I fully agree that the Uniparty is an evil construct, however, there are a few of the reddish hue, that seem to be less evil than the blue cocksuckers. Clear choice for me.
And I don’t care what anyone thinks of Trump, good or bad, but if you think what just happened in Florida is OK, you are a motard, and might as well just give up your guns voluntarily to the FBI!
But those same “less evil” folks still have to navigate the horrors of GOP leadership which is as corrupt as Democrat leadership. There is nowhere for them to go to rid themselves of that or serve their constituents in peace.
Forget about voting them out. Why don’t all those farmers walk into parliament and physically remove them. Demonstrations do not work. People have to act and act in unison.
It is the same in this country. Why do we have a senate since the passage of the 17th amendment? Senators used to represent their State now they represent corporations and pass laws that go against States and the people.
Look at the House of Representatives? Do they represent the people? They do not even know the people they are supposed to represent. So they get ahead by gaming the system.
Most of government we don’t even need. And today with so many incompetent people in government why do people continue to follow their lousy Bills? Their “rule of law” is bringing the entire country down. Most people in politics are losers and the sad part is that they are educated idiots.
Follow them home.
The GLOBAL battle cry should be … ‘ To the Bastille!’ Alas. I do not believe this will happen.
No point in wasting the money on housing them.
Two inconvenient truths. First, the 17th passed because most state legislatures were already rubber stamping the popular vote of the citizens. Second, the US House size is NOT allowed to increase thanks to the Apportionment Act of 1910. So though our population has gone up over three times since 1910, we have the same number of “representatives. ” when the country was founded, there was a US House member for every 30,000 or so citizens. Given no black, female and other voters in some places it was as low as 1 for every 5000 voters. That is near the level that NH citizens have in their legislature. Today it is anywhere from 1 for every 750,000 to nearly 1,000 000 citizens. Just dissolve this piece of shit and let’s all pit something better together.
Absolutely, keep making stupid laws and at some point self-defense comes in to play…
What Stalin did in Ukraine comes to mind.
Pol Pot appreciated the process also.
cliffie & aunt acid,
you are both so correct–
anyone who believes that the us govt will not starve us should remember a few months back when biden took away monoclonals from the red state governors who had deployed them to such great effect–
FFS,
Loose – as in to undo a strap.
Lose – as in lost your keys.
I can mostly overlook crap writing in comments, but in the article? WTF?
Swedish writer, probably not native English speaker.
Still not off the hook.
I can take the article and put it in Word. Word corrects the grammar, highlighting the ‘loosing’ and suggesting ‘losing’.
I am sure my Swedish is not as good as the writers English, but the technology for both of us to be correct in either language exists.
Alright class, use lose and loose in a correct way and win your doctorate.
Jill Biden ” Joe’s shit is loose, watch out he is going to lose it.”
I lived in Germany. The high schoolers there write much better in English than Americans of same age. They know our language better than we teach it here. The author should have corrected.
It read like the author’s primary language was not English
If you still wonder what this is all about, there was a farmer on the Fuellmich/Fischer Corona committee channel in Germany that mentioned another farmer who told the officials that he will give up his herd but that he wants to keep his land, and they told him: “No, no, no, that is not how this works. You cannot stay on your land.”
Why don’t they just shoot all the farmers? At least it would kill them faster than forcing them off their land.
Return fire?
Simply bad optics. They want to kill us while making themselves look like saints.
The pain, misery and war resulting from starvation is a form of sacrifice to their god(small g) Baal.
Bad optics.
That gives up the real game that they are playing.
“You will own nothing and be happy.”
That is the end game.
Will I still be able to get Belgian Waffles?
Dutch Apple Pie?
No, just French Toast.
Always someone who is geographically ignorant. The question is whether you will be able to get Edam.
Gouda.
What about a Heineken?
This doesn’t end until the politicians are dragged out into the streets.
Only after people are hungry and their kids are crying, then they slit throats. Next year ???
Will you slit throats when your kids are starving an crying?
I will before it gets there.
Waiting for such a collapse is an utter failure on our part, and those waiting for that to ‘take action’ are responsible at least in part for that collapse and the attendant misery.
Hopefully Muammar al-Qaddafi, will be the mob’s chant. ;0
That video of farmers spraying poop in a mall-that’s something you would NEVER see here in the US. People in the US are too cowardly to protest. Except negroes like BLM. Now they will riot and burn down buildings to get what they want. But if our US government shut down 50,000 farms, those farmers would just say “gee, I don’t know what I’m gonna do.” And that would be the end of it. That’s why I think our government could illegally abolish all gun ownership and 97% of “exceptional” Americans would run right down to their local police department to turn them in immediately. Well except negroes-they wouldn’t turn in their guns. That’s one thing I’ll give Europeans credit for. They aren’t afraid to protest and raise hell. Americans are exceptional though-exceptionally stupid.
BLM are negros? I thought they were feral niggers. Thx for the correction.
What kind of government would force farmers not to grow food? Even during the Holodomor, Ukrainians could still grow food. The Soviets just took it away from them! And set “us back to the to the Middle Ages.” Hell, how about 1 million years BC!
BTW, good luck with that voting thing. There can’t even be an honest primary vote…
Under joe Biden’s new spending bill the government pays farmers not to plant crops and tells them what fertilizer to use what crops they can plant when they can plant basically taking over the farms
Don’t worry, though. The Dutch government will build homes for 100,000 subhuman rape-gang members from the third world on each farm destroyed.

Educate yourselves on the real cause of so called climate change!:
Forget about the pathetic attempts to control weather or alleged global warming by the leftist freaks! The Sun goes through 1,500 yr, 3,000 yr, 6,000 yr, and 12,000 year cycles and humanity does not have the power or knowledge to stop or alter what is coming, period! The geologic record and ice core samples are more than proof of what is coming and only God can change it – and mankind has earned his plight. The science is clear and ignored by the left.
Suspicious Observers covers this daily.
I most certainly will not……
The Dutch have stupidly signed their own death warrant.
because who needs food, right?
This shows that bolshevik EU has curtailed freedom usually associates. with the West.
