The final votes have been counted. The BBB (farmers citizens movement) gained a staggering 17 seats and the ruling parties have suffered severe losses and won’t reach a majority - not even with the help of the Green Party + Labour. #DutchFarmers
 

Dutch Farmers will probably be the majority party in the Netherlands’ Parliament: But it Probably Won't Make Much Difference

Last year, the Dutch government announced that it would seize 30% of Dutch farms to save the climate. This year, polling shows that the newly formed Boer-Burger Beweging (BBB), the farmers’ party, will be the largest single party in Parliament. However, the nature of the parliamentary system is that they still won’t have power, as it’s likely that two leftist parties will join for a voting majority. For a long time, I’ve said that the left is returning us to a medieval world, one in which the world is dominated by a small group of rich, all-powerful aristocrats. The remainder...

The Farmer Citizen Movement, founded in 2019, did not exist in the last round of four-year elections. It came from nowhere to produce a momentum which has seen it dramatically outperform the ruling party of the technocratic Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte. The party was founded in opposition to “Net Zero” measures aimed at the dramatic reduction in Dutch farming. If implemented, these World Economic Forum (WEF) inspired decrees would mean the compulsory purchase and closure of over 3,000 farms in the world’s second largest food exporter by 2030. Yet it is no longer just a movement of farmers.

A new populist party surfing a wave of rural anger at government environmental policies has emerged as the big winner in Dutch provincial elections, dealing a heavy blow to the four-party coalition of the prime minister, Mark Rutte. The success of the Farmer-Citizen Movement (BBB) in Wednesday’s vote, which will determine the makeup of the senate, casts doubt over the government’s ability to pass key legislation, including its plans to slash nitrogen emissions. “The Netherlands has clearly shown we’re fed up with these policies,” BBB’s founder, Caroline van der Plas, told the public broadcaster NOS. “It’s not just about nitrogen,...

In Hoogwoud, a city in the Netherlands, a 27-year-old historian named Lorenzo Ruijter struck medieval gold with his metal detector. More specifically, he found four crescent-moon-shaped gold pendant earrings, two gold leaf pieces that fit together, and thirty-nine small, precious silver coins, all from the Middle Ages, the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities announced. The museum dates the gold treasure back to roughly A.D. 1050. Ruijter has been metal detecting for most of his life and now it's paid off big time. "It was very special discovering something this valuable, I can't really describe it. I never expected to discover...

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...

It’s needless to say that I distrust my government. Anybody who has every seen any of my interviews or has heard me speak about the dozens of violations of the Rule of Law that our government has committed over the years, would know that. Think about the horrific covid restrictions, the eradication of the presumption of innocence and recently of course the expropriation (theft) of our farmers’ land. In short: the people who rule us do not have our best interest at heart. We know that, but what comes next shocked me beyond belief. snip The current Embryo Act aims...

Journalists of the Dutch NOS and Nieuwsuur published a joint investigation about the way how russia receives microcircuits from the Netherlands for weapons production. Chips manufactured by the Dutch NXP and Nexperia companies were found, in particular, in the on-board equipment of russia’s cruise missiles, Ka-52 attack helicopters, "one of the types of self-propelled guns" (probably the 2S19 Msta-SM2) and one of the Iranian-made kamikaze drones. According to RUSI estimates, Dutch-origin chips cover at least 10 out of 27 critical positions for russians of "dual-purpose" electronics.

The German and Dutch foreign ministers on Monday condemned the deportation by Russians of thousands of Ukrainian children, calling it a deliberate policy of cruel and inhumane abductions that is tearing families apart. Since Moscow launched its war in Ukraine nearly a year ago, Russians have been accused of deporting Ukrainian children to Russia or Russian-held territories to raise them as their own. At least 1,000 children were seized from schools and orphanages in the Kherson region during Russia’s eight-month occupation of the area, local authorities say. Their whereabouts are still unknown. Russia claims that these children don’t have parents...

January 11, 2023 The Dutch Studies and The Myth of Reliable Research in Pediatric Gender Medicine A new study identifying flaws in gender medicine research demands urgent attention from the medical community Twitter A new open-access publication, “The Myth of Reliable Research in Pediatric Gender Medicine,” focuses on the two Dutch studies that gave rise to “gender-affirmative” care for youth worldwide. The authors convincingly demonstrate that rather than "solid prospective research" or even the “gold standard” in research, as these studies are frequently described by the proponents of "gender-affirmative care," the Dutch research suffers from profound, previously unrecognized problems. These...

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Monday (Dec 19) officially apologised for 250 years of the Netherlands' involvement in slavery, calling it a "crime against humanity". The apology comes almost 150 years after the end of slavery in the European country's overseas colonies, which included Suriname and islands like Curacao and Aruba in the Caribbean and Indonesia in the East. In the first of the former Dutch colonies to react, Aruba's Prime Minister Evelyn Wever-Croes accepted the apology, but others like the island of Sint Maarten said it would not.

Radicalized by conspiracy theories, some activists see the farmers in the Netherlands as the latest victims of an assault on Western civilization itself. AALTEN, The Netherlands — Erik Luiten seems an unlikely person to be fighting a conspiracy to destroy Western society. The tall, affable and soft-spoken man is more likely found tending to 150 dairy cows at his farm in the windswept green flatness of the eastern Netherlands. A sixth-generation farmer on this land, he knows the name of each cow and that of its parents. The vast barn echoes to pop classics, including “Never Gonna Give You Up”...

The radical leftists running the Netherlands are about to create a far-reaching famine. A bureaucratic scheme to eliminate some 3,000 small farms in the Netherlands foreshadows increasing efforts by technocrats and global food interests to dominate food production at the expense of local culture, local economies, and family cows. In the name of “saving the planet,” such grand delusions will doubtless destroy it, and humans in the bargain. Perhaps that is the plan. If so, the Netherlands is the best place to start. The rationale is chiefly that the region is home to numerous fragile ecosystems that must be protected,...

World trade is truly global and interconnected. Perhaps the chip industry exemplifies this most. Apple sells phones around the world that rely on manufacturing by TSMC who is in turn supplied by a Dutch company few investors know anything about. And it’s that little-known Dutch company that quite possibly triggered Warren Buffett to make a huge purchase in its most recent quarter. You’re about to discovery why.Back Up a SecondLet’s back up a moment and examine what happened.
