If they get their way, we will be eating porridge, while they sit back, eating meat and vegetables.

They are not being held accountable for anything they do. why stop. the republican congress is not capable of being tough enough on these renegades. their actions have passed the limit line. Trump is the only person who has the strong will to stop this crap.

Yes and there are spirits behind others as well.

Spirits that can only be defeated by the intervention of the Lord and His angels.

I will not name them....some are obviously faceless. They’re pushing agendas.

Seize the farms! And if they don’t obey, comply and surrender the land, they’ll get Ruby Ridged...Maybe they’ll do a Waco operation.

Concord moment. Mark my words.

And there’s a lot of pent up anger out there. One farmer arrested (or shot?) and I predict all hell breaks loose. This isn’t the same country as when Waco and Ruby Ridge happened. A lot of very tough Patriots are out there, with pent up rage, waiting on the first shot.

Imo.

“Seize the farms! And if they don’t obey, comply and surrender the land, they’ll get Ruby Ridged...Maybe they’ll do a Waco operation.”


The left no longer even studies history much less learns from it. Over the past centuries monarchies have been toppled and political regimes removed and violently taken out of power over food shortages or the elites taking on too much power for themselves. From the Ottoman empire falling, to revolutions in France or Russia or Portugal, and many others, to the founding of America itself, at times the people have said “We have had enough!” and rebelled against their rulers.

What makes a difference in our current situation, is that the “powers that be” have not been able to remove from the people the weapons that can be used to fight back against their rulers.

I’m not advocating for violent actions, but our government needs to back off before people just “Go Galt” and stop contributing their tax dollars to the political machines that insist on ruling them.

I never thought the United States government would do what they are.

As a veteran of 25 years of US government service I agree. For years on FR I tried to defend the system saying, "I do not fear my governments malevolence, I fear their incompetence".

And while that is true to this day, I now realize that their malevolence is by any measure more dangerous than their incompetence and it is on full display every day.

and yet no where in the article could i find any statement of Kerry to the effect that “US Farm Confiscations Not Off the Table” ...

You're right. Your post made me search for the root story myself.

All I could find was that the Netherlands government is planning to buy out Dutch farmers in the name of climate change using nitrogen emissions as the excuse, and those who refuse to accept the government buyout will be forced off their land.

The people who sourced this Kerry "quote" must be associating Kerry with the WEF, and the WEF with the Netherlands, the Netherlands with confiscating farms, and Kerry talking about farm emissions.

I think they are imputing a Kerry support of what the Netherlands are doing, but I think you're right that the headline goes too far.

What Kerry actually said (that was reported) was:

A lot of people have no clue that agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world... We can't get to net-zero, we don't get this job done unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution. So all of us understand here the depths of this mission.

Food systems themselves contribute a significant amount of emissions just in the way in which we do the things we've been doing... With a growing population on the planet – we just crossed the threshold of 8 billion fellow citizens around the world – emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause another half a degree of warming by mid-century.

This sector needs innovation now more than ever... We're facing record malnutrition at a time when agriculture, more than any other sector, is suffering from the impacts of the climate crisis. And I refuse to call it climate change anymore. It's not change. It's a crisis.

We need economic, social and policy innovation in order to scale adaptation of these technical solutions and get them into the hands of folks in the fields of small farmers on a worldwide basis. This is the promise of AIM for Climate Summit.

Kerry’s statement is still pure bilge. Water vapor is the only greenhouse gas that matters. Following that, you might as well say the water cycle is the biggest contributor to rising global temperatures. At least that would be provable.

Who will step up and nourish the Tree of Liberty?

Our Tree of Liberty needs not the blood of Patriots, just stilled traitors adorning its branches.

We may need a bigger tree.
