Green tyranny has finally provoked mass reactions, and the first government has fallen after imposing insane policies that wrecked the food supply for its people.

Green tyranny has finally provoked mass reactions, and the first government has fallen after imposing insane policies that wrecked the food supply for its people. Both the president and the prime minister of Sri Lanka are resigning in the wake of massive mobs storming and occupying their residences, burning the PM’s private house and refusing to leave the presidential palace until both men are out of office. The BBC reports:

Sri Lanka President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has confirmed he will be resigning, the prime minister's office has said.

It comes two days after crowds stormed the official residence of both leaders. Demonstrators are still occupying the buildings and are refusing to leave until both leaders are gone.

The parliament Speaker had earlier said the president would resign on 13 July.

Mr Rajapaksa's current whereabouts are unknown. The BBC has been told that he is on a navy vessel at sea.

His resignation was first announced by the parliament Speaker on Saturday, but many Sri Lankans responded with scepticism to the idea that he would relinquish power.

On Monday, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe's office said in a statement it had been informed by Mr Rajapaksa that he would step down on Wednesday.

Will this be the fate of the Davos crowd?

Hopefully they will hang instead of merely fleeing.

This needs to spread. We need to tie this directly to rich Gaia worshipers and the Democrat Party. Notice how it is ALWAYS aimed squarely at the working class and the middle class. Notice how it is NEVER aimed at the rich.

Do any countries where Gaia worship is present restrict or even propose to restrict private jets? The amount of carbon they spew is incredible. Yet.....*crickets*

How about Yachts? How about owning massive energy sucking mansions and a dozen other homes.....hell, they often own seaside homes! The very people who shriek that the sea levels are rising! eg The Obamas, Gore, Kerry, Bloomberg, Zuckerberg, Prince Hypocrite and Yacht Girl, Prince Charles, etc. Private Jets, Yachts and energy sucking seaside palaces one and all. They are always exempt from the consequences of the policies they advocate.

They talk the talk but are NEVER willing to walk the walk.....kinda like how they are with guns. Security for me, but not for thee.....

Darn ... from the headline, I was hoping that the government that fell was referring to the Dutch government ...

Well, I guess you have to start somewhere ...

I thought it was the Dutch government, too.

They’re next.

Big difference between Ceylon and the Dutch. Watermelons have to be eliminated everywhere though.

Nailed it. Hypocrisy. This is the infuriating thing about the elites.

“Will this be the fate of the Davos crowd?”

I sincerely hope for the Mussolini treatment.

Looking forward to our next great leader here calling out the Davos group and WEF for the evil population killlers they are. THEY are the enemy!!! As bad as Hitler.

Will Desantis be the one?

I think the Davos crowd would rather kill all the demonstrators than give up power, and at least 1/3 of the people would help them do it.
