One of the many assurances we are given by our corporate overlords and their minions in the liberal press is that we should be more like Europe. By that they mean we should accept a social welfare nanny state and surrender our rights to our betters in the elite. The Dutch don’t seem to have gotten that memo.
About a week ago the government of the Netherlands announced it was declaring war on the nation’s farmers. In order to reduce what it considers nitrogen pollution the government has adopted a policy of drastically reducing herds, forcing many farmers out of business and cutting back on meat, pork, poultry, and dairy products for human consumption. The government wants to eliminate one-third of Holland’s 50,000 farms by 2030.
In response, all hell has broken loose.
Dutch farmers have blocked supermarkets, food distribution centers, and roads in protests this week. Supermarket shelves are bare throughout the Netherlands as food distribution has been brought to a standstill. Wednesday morning, farmers are expected to demonstrate at the Groningen Airport Elde, according to Dutch media. The farmers have been joined now by Dutch fishermen who are blockading ports in solidarity.
On Monday farmers appeared at the home of the Nature and Nitrogen Minister Van der Wal-Zeggelink. Hay was burned, fireworks were set off and a police car was pushed out of the way so tractors could enter the street. Farmers also emptied a tanker containing slurried manure into the roadway. Police were apparently unable to disperse the assembled farmers due to the size of the protest.
Farmers also protested in the Netherlands’ political capital, The Hague, where two cows were brought to participate in the protests as well. Prime Minister Mark Rutte called the actions “unacceptable and out of proportion” and condemned the farmers’ actions. He has characterized the massive protests as the actions of a small minority and demanded they stop. His comments have been echoed by other members of his administration.
Remember, folks - Gang Green wants you freezing and starving in the dark. Mostly, they want most of you dead. They have a goal: 95% world population reduction. Here comes another Turnip Winter.
And what can be done about the oxygen pollution? And CO2? Will government require us to hold our breath?
And we’re waiting for November election? Ridiculous! Take action now or be dead by November.
During the Hunger Winter of ‘45, America dropped Food on Holland by air. God bless General Eisenhower. They need M-4’s now. God bless Eugene Stoner.
>>Filthy democrat politicians in Holland.<<
What about the ones in the US?
“What about the ones in the US?”
It’s like they have metastasized world wide.
What would have been entertaining — and gotten the point across in a vivid manner — if they had sprayed that slurred manure on his house and through his windows.
The whole country would have died laughing.
“Nitrogen can cause serious algae blooms.”
Oh no, more food for plankton, fish and other sea creatures. Can’t have that.
“It’s been suggested that Rome fell because large numbers of the population had lead poisoning and their brains didn’t function adequately. Has anyone checked contemporary European population for anything like that? “
Well, there’s the hypothesis that since the birth control pill was invented, all that excess estrogen is being peed out and ending up contaminating the water supplies, and turning men into girly men (and making the frogs gay).
It's happening in one form or another all over Western Europe and the English speaking world, and the excuse isn't always pollution.
The ruling class wants us dead. Demographic change isn't quick enough and they are getting impatient.
Holland and Denmark are major exporters of beef and pork. China is expanding in meat. They own the largest processors of pork i the US. They probably are supporting the Dutch politicians to give them control of the market.
Your insight into all this would be appreciated.
Maybe there’s something to this environmental stuff...
That sounds like a communist revolution to me. I hope the Dutch stand up to these evil vile tyrants
Why waste a blindfold on ‘em?
Indeed or anyone in that chain all links are bad.
