You won’t see it on any of the alphabet networks, but a protest movement is exploding in the Netherlands after the government moved to shut down farms in order to “fight” climate change. The contentious move, pushed by the World Economic Forum, was enacted as part of an EU agreement that seeks to limit the release of nitrogen.
This is what becoming ungovernable looks like.
🚨🚨⚠️⚠️
The Dutch protesters are pouring manure on government offices, flooding streets, and becoming all together ungovernable. This uprising is in response to the WEF controlled government shutting down farms to "save the planet."

Dutch farmers have been protesting in the streets for days against the government’s plan to target the livestock sector with nitrogen emission cuts.
The Dutch government said “The honest message… is that not all farmers can continue their business,”.

Massive protests are occurring in the Netherlands as Dutch farmers are protesting against the government’s rules that would limit carbon and nitrogen emissions out of their farms, says Sky News host James Morrow.
Farmers protested around the Netherlands over the government’s new policy which would see the country slash nitrogen oxide and ammonia emissions by 50 per cent by 2030.
“Massive massive protests, they’re blocking highways, they’re blocking traffic – I’ve seen them even spraying manure on government offices,” Mr Morrow said.
Of all the aspects of the green agenda, none is more damaging and suicidal than putting in arbitrary provisions that limit the production of food across the globe. I’m not in support of targeting anything to “lower emissions” because I believe it’s spitting into the wind to make wealthy elites feel better about their lifestyles. Yet, even if I did support that agenda, the last place that should be targeted is the food sector. While European leaders are virtue signaling about the temperature possibly rising a few degrees over the next hundred years, they should be concerned about feeding their populations before their countries descend into apocalyptic chaos.
But this is the way these European nations operate, specifically those that are in the EU. They are run by privileged, spoiled brats who don’t bother to weigh the costs of their policies because they assume the United States will jump in to save them if things ever get too bad. That’s obviously true regarding NATO considering how little the European members spend compared to the US, but it’s also true regarding energy and food.
For example, EU nations have massive oil and natural gas reserves but refuse to drill and frack in order to get to it. Why? Because the US will simply ship them more LNG, right? Now they are destroying their own food production capabilities, again believing that the US will provide them with what they need if shortages occur. But what they aren’t taking into account is that the US has its own problems and is no longer in a position to constantly pick up the slack for European leaders who refuse to govern with some semblance of common sense.
Here’s the bottom line: European nations looking to commit national suicide on the altar of climate change are playing with fire. Even the normally passive residents of the Netherlands will only take so much before pushing back. The farmers clearly aren’t violent extremists, and if the government attempts to treat them as such, things will only devolve further. The WEF, EU, and the rest of the global elite need to understand they only hold power as long as the people decide to let them hold power.
who will save the people from starving?”
Starvation is the method preferred by Marists for eliminating their undesirables. They starved 10s of millions in the Soviet Union and an estimated 100 million in China. The billionaire elite only cares about keeping the planet livable for themselves and a few hundred million worker peasants. As long as they have enough food for themselves and some nice places to dock their super yachts they will be happy.
........all I know about “The Netherlands” is that leading up to WWII they refused to fund and rebuild the Royal Netherlands Army and only contributed one “brigade” to the liberation of Europe.
They are an off the charts liberal country and deserve not much. Many American GI’s and Brits died liberating their god forsaken country. Few if any Netherlands boys fought along side of them.
You know what happens to large landowners who won’t allow farming when people are hungry?
They get dead.
I had not seen that analogy before. I like it.
To be fair, I have a degree in Chemistry, so I am fully aware that there are things which can have great effects in small amounts.
That said...Carbon Dioxide is not one of them in the context of climate change.
Hope it gets out of control and they start hanging the filthy politicians and bureaucrats who are tormenting them.
Spot on!!!!!!
They want us to eat bugs. This is precisely how they accomplish this feat, by making beef, pork, and poultry so expensive that only the rich can consume it. The rest of us are chasing roaches and grasshoppers.
All part of the Great Reset.
Ever hear of urban sprawl?
When a farm goes down in Tennessee, it’s developers who scoop it up and put crappy, overpriced shacks on it.
And it’s farmland no more.
Bet dollars to doughnuts it’s the same there.
The abstract concept of climate change has created an even more dangerous Mass Formation Psychosis than COVID-19.
Most of Europe has severe land use regulations that prevent America style urban sprawl.
Maybe someone with specific knowledge of Netherlands could opine?
Yes he could, he, hedge funds and insurance companies have been buying farmland for years because of the Land appreciation which has been averaging 8%. Some corn land in Iowa goes for $10,000 an acre.
The one thing I envy the euro trash.
All a part of the plan
That was my thought exactly when I read this. Madness, but private property is a tenet f freedom.
You want to start over on that one?
“He is buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of prime farmland and taking it out of production.”
Yep, we’re all gonna starve - tomorrow, if not sooner.
How many acres of farmland in the us?
915 million acres.
