Netherlands moves to limit farmers to TWO cows per acre to curb emissions: report
Human Events ^ | 05/20/2023 | Katie Daviscourt

Posted on 05/25/2023 4:11:08 AM PDT by george76

The Dutch government continues its war on the country's farmers and has proposed new regulations that would roughly limit two cows per acre in order to reach the European Union's climate change targets by 2030...

The proposal, which has not yet been approved by Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, would limit "0.35 hectares of grassland per livestock unit" in an attempt to tackle nitrogen emissions by reducing methane gas, which will place an even greater strain between the country's farmers and Dutch government.

...

The Netherlands, which is the second-largest exporter of agricultural products in the entire world, has seen a citizen uprising since the government announced new regulations for the farming industry which includes seizing both farmland and livestock.

...

AMSTERDAM: Thousands of Dutch farmers and their supporters gather in front of a sign that reads, “Say no to poverty, tyranny, WHO, and the World Economic Forum.”

...

HAPPENING NOW: Dutch farmers are convening for another demonstration. They are reportedly meeting up with three other groups to form a blockade.

...

the new proposal which will place a limit on the number of cows came to light through a leaked government document prepared for negotiations between the government and the farmers.

According to the document, the Dutch government says that the livestock sector will need to shrink by 30 percent to reach the target climate change goals, citing data from Wageningen University & Research.

The country has seen mass protests along with the farmers' retaliation against the government, and the minister of agriculture says that the leaked document only damages the ongoing negotiations.

"I am incredibly disappointed that there is a leak. I don't know where it came from, but it is bad because it is not helpful to the process,” minister Piet Ademal said, according to the outlet. "We are still negotiating. Everything is still in motion."

Negotiations began in December and the minister was hoping to reach a deal this month

...

Spoke with Hans who explained to me why he came to support the Dutch farmers.

“What’s happening here today will happen in your country tomorrow.”

...

The Dutch farmers have been going to war with the government since last spring and have garnered a significant amount of support. The farmers formed their own political party called the Farmer-Citizen Movement (BBB) which has grown to become the largest party in all 12 of the country's provinces.

In March, the BBB triumphed in regional elections as a result of the tractor protests against farm buyouts. The protests received worldwide attention as farmers caravaned in their tractors as they gridlocked the country's roads, threw hay barrels and manure on the roadways, and shut down government buildings.

They wanted to in Sri Lanka. Meanwhile the Wealthy continue to plot starvation for the masses.

Bugs - it's what the WEF sez every one else can eat for dinner - while THEY, the Globalist Elites, dine on lobster, steak, etc.

Sounds like a move to put farmers out of business so the government can move in.

As everyone knows, the government is great at farming and running businesses.

After the leftist politicians steal the farms, they will build governmental housing projects for invading moslems on their 1400 year jihad = the Hijrah.

There is that old joke that explains all the political systems in the world with "You have two cows ..." (ex. Communism: If you have two cows, you give them to the Government and the Government then gives you some milk.)

Now we have the Netherlands version: You have two cows, and that's all you will ever be allowed to have.

They might quickly run into a serious shortage of lamp posts.

Right before our very eyes, the evil commies are engineering Holodomor II and people are too stupid and uneducated and willfully blind to see it. Thank a teacher.

Add to this the war in Ukraine, Europe’s bread basket, and crop failures in Canada....

Somebody will own that land. It wont be the farmers. Once a serf, always a serf.

Amazing, isn't it?

It's like there is a very contagious Stupid Disease going around.

If you get it, you don't suffer from physical problems (not immediately, at least). It just destroys your ability to think and behave rationally.

And people who catch it get this overwhelming urge to act like victims and pussies.

[Right before our very eyes, the evil commies are engineering Holodomor II and people are too stupid and uneducated and willfully blind to see it.]

Right before our very eyes, the evil and godless communists are engineering the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

People (not you) are too Biblically-illiterate to know what is coming.

It will not end well for them (those engineering it).

For eternity.

Aaaand the farmers and the people bend over grudgingly...but STILL bend over. When the population of any country, state or city does whatever they are commanded by the politicians to the point of their own demise...it’s time to recognize that the politicians are NOT the problem.

But we are told that these same globohomos are fighting for "Freedom" in Ukraize.

Happening “soon”, whatever “soon” means: a distributed, apocalyptic civil war, normals against insane, power-mad elites.

As per the Book.

“Thank a teacher” is actually a pretty good point. “IF you are starving, freezing, naked and thirsty but can’t figure out why...thank a teacher”.
