EU Backs Dutch Scheme to Forcibly Shut Down Thousands of Farms, Ban Farmers From Returning to Agriculture Forever

The European Commission in Brussels has backed a scheme by the globalist government of Prime Minister Mark Rutte in the Netherlands that would see thousands of farms shut down in order to comply with EU climate goals.

On Tuesday, the governing arm of the European Union officially threw its support behind plans by the Dutch government to buy out thousands of farmers from their lands in order to meet the EU’s Natura 2000 scheme to protect certain environments. The plan, which would offer farmers 120 per cent of the value of their farm, could see some 3,000 so-called “peak” emitters of nitrogen shut down.

It was unclear before this week whether the EU would permit such a scheme, as it could have potentially fallen afoul of regulations surrounding state aid or subsidies. However, Brussels said that the plans were “necessary and appropriate” as they met the broader goals of the European Green Deal.

“The positive effects transcend any distortions of the free market,” the statement added.

In addition to the plan to buyout — or eventually force out if they refuse — the “peak” emitting farms, the government is also planning a separate scheme that would give dairy, pig, and poultry farmers a deal for 100 per cent of the value of their farm if they wished to shut down. In total, some 1.4 billion euros is expected to be set aside for both farm shutdown schemes.

Should the plan go ahead, it would not only be a major blow for the farming industry in the Netherlands, which is one of the most productive in Europe but could potentially impact other nations as well, given that part of the condition of the buyout scheme is that the Dutch farmers would be prohibited from moving to other countries...

Nazi Satanists run the EU. The goal is extermination of many humans and rigid control over the rest. The US regime is also planning on this scheme.

Even in the US, they are taking or plan on taking your meat, your guns, your natural gas and your kids. Anyone not recognizing this at this point is clueless.

How doggone STUPID can you get, to limit food? Apparently, pretty darn stupid. The idiots in charge of banning agriculture need to be eliminated, by whatever means it takes.

Don't forget the Dutch farmers who will keep their land were already having problems because of restrictions on fertilizer.

They're trying to out-do Stalin's starvation scheme.

And in 20 or 30 years, maybe sooner, when this climate change scam is finally found to be exactly that, a scam, the land will be sold or given to the multinational farming corporations to turn them back into farms run by the globalist elites.....................

Add “your car, your freedom, your life” to your list. The hour is very late.

This is the most evil sickening legislation I've ever heard of. It brings to mind
Cambodia's evil Pol Pot.

Farmers should be held in esteem and honored. No one works harder than those
who feed us all. And farmers are better stewards of nature than any latte
sipping swisher a Starbucks.

As with Communism, Socialism or ClimateChangeism the elites always end up eating high on the hog and the plebes eat out of their garbage cans.. e.g. As in Venezuela when a bus driver becomes a dictator.

The Dutch have forgotten about the 1944 Hunger winter when they scraped trashcans clean with their spoons.

"given that part of the condition of the buyout scheme is that the Dutch farmers would be prohibited from moving to other countries"

And one wonders why the US founding fathers wanted to break away from Europe.

This is the kind of thing that causes heads to roll.
