Pay attention to what’s happening to Dutch livestock farmers
American Thinker ^ | 8 Aug, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 08/08/2022 4:43:05 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The leftist government is using climate change to implement what amounts to slow-motion communism.

The beauty of climate change, if you’re a wannabe totalitarian, is that, because carbon is one of the building blocks of life, if you control carbon, you control everything. To understand how this works, you must pay attention to what is happening in the Netherlands, where the government is planning to seize 20% of livestock farms, all in the name of climate change.

Holland was once a bastion of liberty on a continent that was subject to total monarchal control and riven by religious wars. It wasn’t freedom as we have come to understand it in America but, after they threw off Spanish control, the Dutch allowed faiths other than Calvinism within their borders. There was a reason the Puritans fled there first, although they eventually wanted the complete freedom the New World offered them for practicing their particular Protestantism. That sturdy, self-sufficient, independent, sort-of-free little nation is gone.

Now, livestock farmers are up in arms because they’ve finally realized that their government is about to seize their land, all in pursuit of “nitrogen reduction.” We’ve heard about the protests, but Peter of Sweden is the first person I’ve seen who breaks down the numbers and explains what’s really happening (and it’s about power more than “climate change”):

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.

“The beauty of climate change, if you’re a wannabe totalitarian, is that, because carbon is one of the building blocks of life, if you control carbon, you control everything.”

This is all about the formation of a One World Government and just as with Socialism and Communism the result will be the elites eating high on the hog and the Plebes eating out of their garbage cans.

Already happening here. A working companion of mine has 40 acres. He can fertilize only half of it with chicken manure but not the other half as that side flows into a different watershed.

Chicken manure has made this area a viable farm area.

I remember way back in the 80’s and 90’s finding all this nwo/bild-a-burger/fema camps/gun confiscation/population reduction, etc. (mostly on the NRA DIALUP BBS I had a huge phone bill as it was Dialup and long distance 703-GUN-TALK on My 2400bps Modem.)

I started spreading the word to friends and family. Making up flyers and putting them out at Liquor Stores and other privately owned businesses in Central Texas.

Many people said that I was crazy, more started checking things out.

They found the same information at different sources than I did.

Fast forward to 2020–> now I don’t look so crazy now.

if it was truly about climate change, they’d take the unproductive farms out of production, NOT the most productive...

I’m going to speculate those Farmers are actually producing I think they produce, market and use everything they produce.

If they’ve got excess meat and cheese send it over I can make room for it.

And MILK !!! We go through 6-8 gallons week

If something happened on a trading day, yes, those would be the closest possible days.

Whatever may or may not happen, there is a remarkably bad convergence of things with the impending food crisis (manufactured disaster) and war on possibly 2 or more fronts. 🤔

NOT Elul 29 of that year but...

The Camp David Accords were a pair of political agreements signed by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin on 17 September 1978,[1] following twelve days of secret negotiations at Camp David, the country retreat of the President of the United States in Maryland.[2] The two framework agreements were signed at the White House and were witnessed by President Jimmy Carter. The second of these frameworks (A Framework for the Conclusion of a Peace Treaty between Egypt and Israel) led directly to the 1979 Egypt–Israel peace treaty. Due to the agreement, Sadat and Begin received the shared 1978 Nobel Peace Prize. The first framework (A Framework for Peace in the Middle East), which dealt with the Palestinian territories, was

17 Sep 2001 Monday - Stock Market Event
17 Sep 2008 Wednesday - Stock Market Event

(for those who still may wonder what reference is being made)

Now this DOES NOT mean something is absolutely going to happen.

I’m just noticing the wacky stuff going on in our world 🌍.

Like affecting 29,000 Dutch farmers, Sri Lanka and now reports of an uptick in cash withdrawals in England. Wild inflation in the U.S. etc.
