Dutch Government Sends In Military As Farmers Plan The Biggest Protest Yet After Gov. Closes 3,000 Farms
Truth Press ^ | 3/11/2023

Thousands of farmers are expected to drive tractors to The Hague, Netherlands, on Saturday morning to oppose the government’s plan to shut down 3,000 farms. The government made the move to comply with global warming goals despite a heavy vehicle ban the day before.

It can be recalled that the Dutch government is planning to “buy and close down up to 3,000 farms near environmentally sensitive areas to be in compliance with EU environmental rules” of the nitrate emission reduction plan.

Thousands of farmers and the climate activist group Extinction Rebellion will hold a rally in The Hague, Netherlands on Saturday, March 11.

According to Swedish journalist, Peter Imanuelsen, this will be the biggest demonstration yet.

...

Netherlands is planning on forcing 3000 farmers to sell their land to the state. A land grab.

100 000 people are expected to show up.

...

No farmers, no food!

We’re on our way to the protest. For the future of our country

...

According to Peter Imanuelsen, military vehicles are already arriving in the Netherlands in preparation for the farmers’ protest.

...

the mayor of The Hague threatened to use military gear to stop rival climate and farmer protests.

NL Times reported:

Mayor Jan van Zanen of The Hague said he could indeed authorize the use of military equipment to remove blockades or tractors in his city on March 11. On that date, the upcoming Saturday, both climate activists and farmers are set to demonstrate in the Zuid-Holland city.

“I am not going to rule out the possibility that Defense equipment will be deployed. That is available if necessary,” he said in an interview with De Telegraaf. He has also asked police forces elsewhere in the country to provide officers to assist.

“We cannot handle this alone,” Van Zanen told De Telegraaf. “Also to ensure that the demonstrations are safe.”

Farmers’ organization Farmers Defense Force (FDF) hopes to attract 100,000 people for a demonstration in the Zuiderpark in The Hague next Saturday. Climate activists from Extinction Rebellion also plan to block the A12 motorway near The Hague again that day.

And at the same time, construction of tents for the the construction of tents for the City-Pier-City half-marathon race will also be underway. The annual race is scheduled for Sunday starting at the Malieveld.

Van Zanen says he will not consider banning any of the planned demonstrations for the time being. He called on those demonstrating to ensure that they can cherish a “great right.” That forces him to be “radically neutral.”

But there are limits, he said. “Blocking a road indefinitely with people or equipment is not an acceptable way of demonstrating, but a blockade,” he told the newspaper. “I think that’s a disruption of public order.”

Happening in all the WEF nations. Gosh, isn't it swell to know our governments are fighting for freedom?

The entire farming industry in Holland can put a stop to this by saying....Food for ourselves and families and none else for the rest of ye! Then make it stick. No veggies, no meats, milk, wines or beer...nothing...! The government can stamp its feet, issue fines,try to take farms but with no farms or farmers working, there will be no domestic foods of any kind.

The Dutch just need a reason to invoke Article 5, and they can get the full force of NATO to bear down on their farmers. Why let all that money and aid go to Ukraine when we have neocons and a military-industrial deep state just looking for any excuse to bomb anywhere, anytime for any reason.

The global warmists are mostly urban and cloistered. Tending vegetarian too. They haven’t a clue how rural life is, and how farmers do their work

Seems the major Western nations have now decided that the Liberal New World Order is their main objective. Whereas freedom used to be their goal; it’s now time for something different (with apologies to Monty Python).

It’s mind-boggling.

Safe, effective, mostly peaceful. Note: Additional booster demonstrations will be required to keep you protected.

“Farms should be the LAST thing you’d want to close. These people are freaking insane.”

With cheap, affordable energy a close second. We are living in bizzaro world. Killing off large percentages of the global population is the only remotely plausible motive for what’s going on. I can’t believe how many people are oblivious to it.

The Dutch army couldn’t whip Luxembourg because the later has real bullets.

These people are freaking insane.

"Arrest them all? What would we do with all those people?"

"We do what America did after January 6th. That's a good model. We have this unused facility at Vught."

3000 seized farms can make mighty fine high density apartments for the invading hordes of violent third world trash.
