I've seen you guys post about the Dutch farmer protests and I'd like to give you guys some extra context, most of you really don't know how bad shit has gotten in the Netherlands these past few years. I'll try to keep it short.

Our current vice-premier and minister of finance and WEF-member (and minster of foreign affairs in the past cabinet) Sigrid Kaag was in the past fired of her lesser position in foreign affairs because of perjury, turns out she was secretly married to Anis al-Qaq, the right-hand man of Yasser Arafat. Despite this she can not only just return to governing but leads the most progressive party of the Netherlands, D66. They got second place in the last election.

She has also send millions of our taxpayer money directly to hamas, repeatedly. There are also regular sex-schandals within the party, including silencing the victims.

Despite this she's a media darling. This has obviously nothing to do with the fact that our national broadcasting was led by a lady named Shula Rijxman for the past 6 years, whom despite claiming political neutrality for her entire career became a D66 alderman of Amsterdam within the month she quit.

It shouldn't surprise you that the Public Broadcasting Network literally broadcasted a documentary about Kaag's career, made from taxpayer money and checked and corrected by Kaag personally (one of the many scandals that quickly got ignored, don't get me started about their employee diversity trophies). It aired in the weeks leading up to the last election.

Well at least there is more media than just public broadcasting right? Well there is but all our national (and most regional) papers, magazines and tv channels are in the hands of only two companies. Two Belgian companies whom both receive millions of EU funding of which both owners completely coincidentally have direct ties to the Renew Europe party, which both our ruling party (VVD) and D66 are part of. No, it isn't nationally acknowledged that both our second and first party are basically the same party, it's just one of those things nobody talks about.

You can probably imagine how our media treats dissidents. I would be called a conspiracy theorist for stating these verifiable facts, or a 'wappie' as they've been called since corona.

I work for a very progressive employer so I see daily how disconnected our elites are from the real world, and it won't take long until shit will completely hit the fan. Funnily enough, the farmer protests probably won't even be the cause, it will be those darn immigrants and the lack of actual houses to put them in, since they get priority over people who have been searching for decades and well, people are starting to notice they are being discriminated against in their own country. There is so much more to talk about (I didn't even mention our prime minister, who has his whole own unique form of dementia) but I'll keep it at this for now.

It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

https://www.ncregister.com/news/farmers-protest-in-netherlands-reflects-rise-of-popular-revolts-in-europe

The June 10 introduction by the Dutch government of a large environmental plan, which will reduce the country’s livestock population by at least 30% by 2030, has triggered waves of violent demonstrations throughout the country.

The plan followed a 2019 ruling from the country’s top administrative court that the Netherlands was violating European nature conservation directives. Dairy cows are particularly targeted by these measures as they produce polluting emissions from manure and artificial fertilizers.

The Netherlands is one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases in Europe, due to its intensive animal agriculture. It is the second largest agricultural exporter in the world after the U.S.

The goal of Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s government is to reduce ammonia pollution, as well as nitrogen emissions by between 40% and 95%, depending on the area, which will necessarily have a dramatic impact on the lives of Dutch farmers, who fear losing their lands and farms built over generations.

Some farmers set hay bales ablaze alongside highways, while others gathered in towns and cities, including The Hague.

The Dutch government was forced to act after a series of court rulings that blocked infrastructure and construction projects because of fears they would cause emissions that breach environmental rules. It is giving provincial authorities a year to work out ways to meet the emission reduction targets.

The government says emissions of nitrogen oxide and ammonia, which livestock produce, must be drastically reduced close to nature areas that are part of a network of protected habitats for endangered plants and wildlife stretching across the 27-nation European Union.

Dutch farmers say that they are being unfairly targeted as polluters while other industries, such as aviation, construction and transport, also are contributing to emissions and face less far-reaching rules. They also say the government is not giving them a clear picture of their futures amid the proposed reforms.

As per The Scottish Farmer, supermarkets are running out of food as the protests continue to intensify. This, as fishermen have been blocking ports and several ships honking their horns to express their discontent over inflation.

Protests spread across Europe

Meanwhile, German farmers blockaded roads on the border with the Netherlands and gathered in large numbers to protest near the city of Heerenburg.

As per The Deep Dive, German farmer groups are themselves upset over a recent renewable energy Act amendment by parliament, claiming it does not provide enough support for biogas production.

“It is completely incomprehensible that in the middle of this far-reaching energy crisis, a sustainable domestic energy source such as biogas is being curbed in the production of electricity, heat, and biomethane,” Bernhard Krüsken, secretary-general of the German Farmers’ Association, told the website.

As per the website, Polish farmers also rose up in protest over the cost of fertiliser and cheap food imports being allowed and thus increasing local production costs.

The farmers took to the streets of Warsaw shouting: “Enough is enough! We won’t let ourselves be robbed!” and “We workers cannot pay for the crisis created by politicians!”

In Spain, farmers blocked highways in the southern region of Andalusia to protest against high fuel prices and the rising costs of essential products, as per The Scottish Farmer. In Milan, Italian farmers in a convoy of tractors blocked city traffic, as per Morning Star Online.

This comes in the backdrop of Italian farmers facing a severe drought that has put a third of agricultural produce at risk.

Farmers say they have lost around €3 billion as a result of the emergency and are being hit hard by rising fuel prices with costs rocketing as a result of the conflict in Ukraine, as per the report.

Italy’s agricultural minister Steafano Patuanelli told parliament earlier this week that Italy faces a further 40 per cent loss of water resources in the coming decades.

As per Hindustan Times, the EU Parliament in an move to seemingly pacify farmers issued a resolution denouncing India’s “distorting” sugar subsidies, claiming it was against WTO agriculture agreement and detrimental to the EU sugar producer.

However, protests have not tapered off.

‘Double whammy on world economy’

Shishir Gupta, writing in Hindustan Times, warned that ongoing farmer protests, in the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, would impact food supply chains and “deliver a double whammy on world economy.”

“Faced with growing protests, the EU will have to balance its food security with the green environment or else not only the repercussions of this agitation will hit at the global food chain and drive inflation further in affected countries,” Gupta wrote.

“With oil prices at an all-time high due to sanctions on Russia and West Asia oil producers making a windfall profits by curtailing production, any hit at the global food supply chain will sink smaller economies and Sri Lankan crisis will be replicated in other continents,” Gupta warned.

What is the Dutch government proposing?

The ruling coalition wants to cut emissions of pollutants, predominantly nitrogen oxide and ammonia, by 50 per cent nationwide by 2030. Ministers call the proposal an "unavoidable transition" that aims to improve air, land and water quality.

They warn that farmers will have to adapt or face the prospect of shuttering their businesses.

"The honest message ... is that not all farmers can continue their business," and those who do will likely have to farm differently, the government said in a statement this month as it unveiled emission reduction targets.

Livestock produce ammonia in their urine and faeces. The government in the past has called on farmers to use feed for their animals that contains less protein as a way of reducing ammonia emissions. The problem is compounded in the Netherlands, which is known for its intensive farming practices, with large numbers of livestock kept on small areas of land.

It is not only farmers being targeted.

In the past, the government also has cut the national maximum speed limit on highways from 130 kilometres per hour to 100 kilometres per hour during the day as a way of reducing nitrogen oxide created by vehicle engines.

As tractors gathered outside the parliament building in June, Netherlands' prime minister Mark Rutte said farmers have the right to protest but not to break the law.

“Freedom of speech and the right to demonstrate are a vital part of our democratic society, and I will always defend them," Rutte said. "But ... it is not acceptable to create dangerous situations, it is not acceptable to intimidate officials, we will never accept that."

What are the nature areas that are threatened?

The government has published a map with reduction targets across the country based on proximity to areas designated as part of the EU's Natura 2000 network of vulnerable and endangered plant and animal habitats.

There are Natura 2000 sites across the 27 member states, covering 18 per cent of the bloc's land area and 8 per cent of its marine territory.

On its website, the European Commission says conservation and sustainable use of Natura 200 areas is "largely centred on people working with nature rather than against it. However, Member States must ensure that the sites are managed in a sustainable manner, both ecologically and economically."

Dutch farmers argue that other EU countries are not clamping down on the agricultural industry as hard as the Netherlands.

During a protest, a group of farmers at a Dutch Natura 2000 region near the German border put up flags and a "Welcome to Germany" sign to symbolically make it part of the neighbouring country.

How important is agriculture to the Dutch economy?

Agriculture — from dairy farming to growing crops in fields and greenhouses — is a significant part of the Dutch economy.

According to a national farming lobby group, LTO, there are nearly 54,000 agricultural businesses in the Netherlands with exports totalling 94.5 billion euros in 2019.

by Kit Knightly | It is (allegedly) being done to “protect the environment” makes it a big warning sign for the future. Denmark, Belgium and Germany are already considering similar policies. The Western world seems to be enthusiastically embracing quasi-suicidal policies. I mean, paying farmers to reduce the amount of food they produce…while (notionally) threatened with war…in the midst of...

THIS IS AN ENGINEERED FOOD CRISIS. DOZENS OF FOOD PRODUCTION FACILITY ARSONS IN AMERICA. INSANE ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS REDUCING LIVESTOCK IN THE NETHERLANDS. THIS WILL CONTINUE FOR AS LONG AS FREEDOM LOVING PEOPLE ALLOW IT AND NOT ONE SECOND LONGER.

I have questions after this article. 1. “ Scientists say dealing with climate change will require not just gradual reform, but a rapid, wholesale transformation of the global food system.” What scientists are saying this? What scientists think it’s a good idea to majorly overhaul the global food system right now while the breadbasket of Europe is kind of a warzone? 2. “Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says nitrous oxide accounts for around 6% of global greenhouse gas emissions.” What’s the other 94%? Wouldn’t it be better to worry about that than to drastically mess with like. The food supply? Obviously it would be wonderful if we could shift to a perfect system and generally do a better job of taking care of creation, but I dunno. Farmers are generally pretty dedicated to being at least mostly sustainable-- they can’t just blitz the land and keep producing year after year. Go after Chinese companies dumping chemicals in their rivers or something first, geez.

The Great Green Rebellion: Farmers' Uprising Against the Quest for a 'Greener' Tomorrow

No more Mr. Nice Farmer. From the picturesque fields of Germany to the romantic vineyards of France, the agricultural proletariat is rising against what they perceive as the tyrannical…
