Default Dutch farmers protest.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-e...uses-1.5973254

The Dutch farmers are being slowly killed off by their government.
They are blocking roads, Grocery stores warehouses, all the roads going into Schiphol airport.
spread liquid manure on the ministers front steps.

You name it they do it, and rightfully so.

Not just the Dutch, farmers in other countries aren't happy either, it's an EU issue. One reason we have so many Europeans coming to farm here instead, but we're down the same road, just not quite as far. No fuel, no food, the Europeans have no one to blame but themselves. Be interesting to see what happens if they have a severe winter coming up. Vlad may get back in their good graces.

The place to start is at the WEF's Receptions. Only locally grown vegetables, mostly raw, with no exotic spices like salt and pepper. NO fancy wines, no caviar, no tropical fruits or meat.

Then the champagne socialists will get an idea of the reality that they want for the rest of us. For most of the Government Leaders involved in the WEF, it is rules for thee, not for me.

Did you know that private jets in Europe are going to be exempt from the Green Carbon - Energy Tax on Fuel that the rest of the EU citizens pay?

I bet that was a relief for all the rest of us who don't have private jets! After all, none of US have private tropical islands to go to anyway.

If India farmers have the guts to protest, should be easy anywhere else

In India those farmers got beat by "police" with sticks and batons .....

We are darn near at this stage with a lot of things in our lives…I still can’t believe that a lady got put back in jail like a huge criminal, only they won’t let her out on good behaviour or some other words…it’s getting exhausting waiting for the other shoe to drop on us!

I was watching a Dutch news channel on tv. I didn’t understand but I saw thousands of tractors blocking the roads.
The government’s are hurting the people. But why?

In the end, the government got the message and backed down. Supposedly an attempt to modernize the agricultural system, but there, tradition is firmly fixed.

The government is telling the farmers to stop using nitrogen, and cutting back on their animals as they are the polluters.
So basically it’s killing the small run family operations.

Even the fishermen were in soli with the farmers by blocking harbours so no ship could enter.

Y2Y ? how about Y2K, nobody talks about that anymore. The unmaterialized catastrophe that cost Billions and made fools of most "experts".

Ok, can we all just chill out with the conspiracy nonsense and the sarcastic replies please?

The topic is farmers protesting in the Netherlands. Keep it on topic, or posts will start getting axed, and messages sent.

Every thread doesn't have to be a gong show. Yes, we got rid of the Politics thread, and no, nobody is shutting down targeted political threads. We don't need every one to be prefaced by the OP saying 'Mods, don't know if this is allowed....'

Just keep it civil, on track, communicate like respectful adults, and all will be fine.

I know, it's a big ask with all the Bad Monkeys we have here who can't help flinging a little poop, and having fun, but, let's work towards improving our discourse, shall we?

This is an Official Statement. And it shouldn't even be necessary. It's not like you all don't know this, and haven't been skirting around the edges and coloring slightly outside the lines for a long time.

As my dad used to say, 'don't make me pull over!!'

Well it seems like a cop fired a shot into a tractor there now. Will have to see what the police/gov't will be doing now that they've escalated things to that point, even if it was just a single hothead on their team that is to blame. Leadership are going to have to sit down their officers and have a really, really important chat.

There was video of the of the incident on twitter earlier but can't find it now. 2 shots were fired at a tractor that was clearly turning to follow the street, not towards the officer. Pictures clearly show one bullet hit the cab. Things are escalating and the fact that the news is so quiet on this is very concerning.

Conspiracy theory until comes true. You don't have to look past the front porch to see this. Those in Govt that are connected to WEF need to go .......they have plans for you and they aren't mutually beneficial.

The people that make these fickle policy’s have to know there is going to be chaos. Almost like it’s a planned disruption. Hate to sound like a conspiracy guy but something similar would cripple our prairie ag sector.

If you look at the looming food security crisis facing Europe, you will understand the the Politicians are VERY worried that there are as many farmers on the land producing as much food as possible in Europe this year.

For a Country like Denmark, that reality is even more important given their limited crop lands.

However, that does not mean that the New World Order crowd who have infiltrated Government won't try to force their agenda anyway.

Like true Socialists, the fact that their people starve is secondary to their "vision" of a fairer, more Just world.

The only confounding thing for the Socialists is that Europe cannot look to Ukraine or Russia for their food supply, and that includes the Socialists in Government who do not want to starve this winter.

Communists. They’re trying to rebrand themselves as “Socialists” because it has a less negative connotation. Same deal. They’re already moving toward rebranding the word Socialist too as it’s tiring dirty. Progressive is the shiny new term. It’s like trying to polish a turd.

Port of Vancouver truckers vote for job action to protest phaseout of older vehicles
