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...

I agree, friend. And your privacy. That’s largely gone, too.
WEF Nazi Satanists, that is. When there is a WH-backed or Congressional-backed movement to replace or dispense with the US Constitution, that is our SHTF moment. Largest guerrilla action ever in the history of this planet starts.
““Dutch farmers would be prohibited from moving to other countries and starting up farms abroad”
how they gonna do that? put the farmers in prison?”
I found that sentence to be rather ominous as well. First you are told you can’t leave the country, then you are restricted as to where in the country you can go, then finally you are concentrated in a nice little camp.
“And your privacy. That’s largely gone, too.”
Especially if you ever use the Internet for anything. And especially ESPECIALLY if you are on FR.
Let them eat cake!
Oops, no grain for flour

Probably do the same as they did to the South African farmers. Took their land and prohibited them from exiting South Africa. The US, Australia, Canada, etc. would not issue them visas to escape.
Sadly, most folks have ZERO clue about Cambodia or Pol Pot.
Yeah, sounds like DOT buying up/”obtaining” land for racis’ highways.
This comes to mind:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out —because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out — because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out — because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me.

They gots our numbers!
Simply prohibit the sale of farm land to them by law.
Incredibly stupid - destroy your own food - bread basket. What morons. As if tiny Holland makes an impact on the global temperature. This is sheer insanity.
Well said but little understood by the numbnut masses.
If I were forced out I think I would mothball my equipment though.
The land will always be there, but governments come and go. In a few years when people get hungry they will be begging the farmers to return at whatever they want to do it.
TBH I can’t believe that the EU has lasted as long as it has. The more radical it gets, the more nationalist the people will start to respond.
When prices compared the the rest of the world for basic staples gets too far out of whack, they will start growing again, I guarantee it.
Red states are starting to pass foreign own land, needs to get Gates too.
The end of farms is the end of food.
I wonder what they have in mind for us? </sarcasm>
Potato Famine, landlords ousted the Irish to put in sheep, and they either fought or immigrated mostly to the USA.
Might as well turn in the guns bullets-first because they are going to kill us anyway.
We might even win.
The Dutch did not have a potato famine — the Irish did. Don’t confuse history.
Or Marx or Lenin or Stalin or Holodomor or China's cultural revolution or much of anything that shows that leaders promising utopia and free this and that result in lots and lots of killing of citizens.
Schools have reengineered history lessons to show how bad this country is and pretty much ignore how truly bad other governments have been.
