Glimpsing Armageddon in Dutch cow culling
American Thinker ^ | 9 Dec, 2022 | John Klar

The radical leftists running the Netherlands are about to create a far-reaching famine.

A bureaucratic scheme to eliminate some 3,000 small farms in the Netherlands foreshadows increasing efforts by technocrats and global food interests to dominate food production at the expense of local culture, local economies, and family cows.

In the name of “saving the planet,” such grand delusions will doubtless destroy it, and humans in the bargain. Perhaps that is the plan.

If so, the Netherlands is the best place to start. The rationale is chiefly that the region is home to numerous fragile ecosystems that must be protected, notwithstanding that the Dutch government has for decades encouraged farms to increase production. “Closing farms” does not entail relocating their bovine denizens to idyllic preserves, but to abattoirs – they are to be slaughtered by the thousands to terminate their flatulence and enteric fermentation (burping).

But why Dutch cows? Because Dutch cows must be slaughtered to rescue insects for the diet of wild birds. Farms there produce 60% of the nitrogen deposits in conservation areas:

Excess nitrogen deposits in these so-called Natura 2000 areas are the proximate cause of the crisis. They cause some plants, like grass, to grow faster, but others to wither and die. ….That can wipe out entire ecosystems. When plants die, so do the bugs that feed on them, which in turns kills the birds and ducks that eat the bugs — and a major impetus for the whole Natura 2000 program in the 1990s was to protect European bird species.

This rash rush to ration ruminants is spurious. Once destroyed, Dutch agricultural economies and systems cannot be reclaimed, and there is no plan to replace either the lost income to the Netherlands, or the lost food supplies to the humans that “feed on them.”

Eating to stay alive is such an outdated 'bourgeois' thing anyway...

This is the modern day equivilent of the forced collectivization of Soviet Union and the Ukraine during the Communist takeover of Russia.

They destroyed food production by forcing farmers to turn over all of their crops and livestock to the government for redistribution to people in the cities.

This caused food shortages which the Bolsheviks used as a pretext to blame the farmers so they could crush them.

The Neo Bolsheviks in the EU are are using climate change as pretext to do the same thing,

My farm sometimes gets crickets so thick, they make it look like the ground is moving. I call it free chicken feed :)

Since about a quarter of the Netherlands is from land reclaimed from the North Sea, shouldn’t the watermelons be demanding that the dikes be destroyed and the land be returned to it’s natural state underwater?

Like those in the Andes plane crash or the Russian’s forced into trading in human flesh after Lenin’s manmade famine.

When we’re all starving— we can eat the politicians and the WEF first.

I’ll skip the bugs and go straight for the people that put us in that position.
