Dutch police recently shot at tractor-riding farmers who were protesting a preposterous government climate proposal
in a northern area of the Netherlands. The Dutch government purportedly plans
to cut in half so-called greenhouse gas emissions from bovine farts and belches,
farm animal manure, and the use of ammonia in fertilizer-- by 2030. Government
officials say the plan is necessary to reduce these "harmful"
pollutants, but the farmers say the government's new standards would destroy
their livelihoods.
So, in recent weeks, they have organized a nationwide protest against the despotic
plans.
If the proposal is approved,
to meet the government's emissions target, farmers would be forced to reduce
the number of livestock they own. Moreover, farmers whose animals produce large
amounts of ammonia would have their farms purchased by the government. To that
end, a government representative recently stated: “The honest message… is that
not all farmers can continue their business.”
“Not all farmers can continue
their business?” Because the government won’t let them. Wow. I guess it’s no
longer just COVID that governments use to determine if you can keep your
business.
Understandably, the threats
of these draconian measures led to approximately 40,000 farmers forming a
tractor convoy that travelled around the relatively small nation, in some cases
blocking traffic and grocery distribution centers. Other farmers have demonstrated in town and city halls or set hay
bales ablaze on the sides of highways. Farmers
say they are being unfairly targeted by the government while other industries
are polluting more but aren't facing crippling regulations.
Is it really a good idea, particularly in this time
of high inflation, supply chain issues-- and food shortages-- to
deliberately attempt to reduce the number of folks who produce our food? Rather
than reducing manure, would it not be better to reduce the amount of crap
coming from the minds and mouths of the elites who rule over us with ever-increasing
arrogance and insolence? (See also Trudeau, Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Newsome,
Hochul, et. al.)
Bizarrely, food processing plants appear to be spontaneously combusting around the U.S. Worse
yet, China (and certain Big Tech oligarchs) are buying up American farmland. The
Russia-Ukraine war has disrupted and reduced supplies of corn, wheat, and seed
oils, among other things. And now this?
Not to be outdone, President Biden (a.k.a. “Chairman
Brow”) has released millions of barrels of oil from the United States’ Strategic
Petroleum Reserve…and, in a borderline treasonous move, sent some of it to China. (In fact, nearly 1,000,000 barrels of U.S. oil was
sold to a Chinese state-owned gas company that-- get this-- has financial ties
to a private equity firm that was co-founded by Biden’s son Hunter, according to reports.)
This leads one to ask an obvious question: “Why
are Western governments assisting in their own suicide? Why are they attacking
farms and the people who feed us all? Why are we sending oil to China when we
are desperately trying to buy it from the likes of Russia, Iran, and Venezuela?
This is mind-boggling. It can’t be for the sake of the climate.
The Great Reset is a Colossal
Mistake. It pointlessly punishes citizens of western nations while strengthening
and emboldening their actual and potential adversaries. Worse still, like COVID-1984, it is being used to excuse
previously unimaginable tyranny in these erstwhile largely free nations, making
them more like existing authoritarian regimes.
How long do these leaders
think their nations’ citizens will put up with the stripping away of their
rights and freedoms? Perhaps forever? It appears they believe we no longer have
an alternative.
And that may be why a 16-year-old farm boy is shot at and taken into custody.
