Climate Scaremongers Have Taken Over Where COVID Scaremongers Left Off

 

As we enter the final few hours of March 2023, your Boggart Bloggers can announce that the winners of our coveted Scaremongering Bolocks of The Month award goes this month to BBC News. Not only did the BBC report in one of their regular climate catastrphe scare stories that river levels across the UK have been at record lows and are likely to be “devastated”, as new data forecasts broadly dry weather until at least May, the broadcast that news story on the same day as The London Weather Centre announced that March 2023 was set to be the wettest March since records began.

Truth (lack of it,) has never been an obstacle to the project fear antics of climate activists. Using a picture of one river's tidal estuary, taken at low tide, as evidence, campaigners have accused the government and water companies of not doing enough to conserve water supplies by building reservoirs and fixing leaks, as months of low rainfall could cause some areas to run out of water.

The monthly scare story from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology warns that extended dry conditions are more likely than not and that rivers are already suffering.

The BBC (and most other mainstream news organisations to be fair,)  lying about imminent water shortages, almost empty reservoirs, searing heat on prolonged heatwaves (three hot days together now gounts as a heatwave,) and the greehouse properties of Carbon Dioxide should not surprise anyone who has listened to or read mainstream media on climate change. Compare their news to empirical evidence and it quickly becomes obvious lying is the default position, and when it is called out on this they revert to bullying tactics and “de-platforming” in order to silence the truth seekers.

 Recent action by farmers in Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Poland and by government agencies and car manufacturers in Germany and Italy to protect their industries, should be wholeheartedly supported, they have shown that the EU whilst autocratic is also smart enough to understand that almost 2,000,000 unemployed car workers and up to 9,000,000 sub suppliers is a problem that may just cause bigger problems than they can cope with - typically, the UK Government has declared that “just because the EU think this is right, does not mean that we should follow them”.

Are our leaders and opinion influencers really  prepared to destroy successful industries, and sacrifice national prosperity to pander to “Climate Change” without any thought about how, by 2030 when according to 'net zero' policy Internal Combustion Engined cars and vans will no longer be available, we will have replaced the entire electricity distribution grid, built a few dozen new nuclear power stations, and have in place a recharging infrastructure to accommodate the switch to electric vehicles? An energy system capable of supporting the base load increase caused by the switch to electric cars and the replacement of gas boilers for domestic heating and hot water within seven years is beyond the bounds of possibility, even if our heaviliy indebted nation could afford it, seven decades would be a more realistic timescale than seven years. Every promise, every ambition, every policy is predicated on the blind faith that just around the corner some new technology will be available that will make it all possible. 

There is constant talk of “Green Energy” jobs bonanza, but as the new technologies that priests of the Church of Sciencology truly believe will deliver it have not yet left the world of science fiction and established themselves are realities. And even if these technologies do magically appear it is certain the number of jobs that will be lost do not match those fantasy “new jobs in green industries," but then 10,000,000 unemployed will be more carbon neutral than 10,000,000 employed so the Climate Crisis mob will be able to claim this as a success.

RELATED:

Since the early 1940’s Fusion Power/Energy has just been “around the corner”, only now have we reached a experimental stage where energy in has been balanced by energy out - but only for one millionth of a second - so still some way to go.

Battery technology MAY progress, we may get that all important breakthru that renders fossil fuel energy null and void, BUT, until that day, you need to run both old and new energy sources in tandem and prepare to change over should the technology allow.

De - Dollarisation: China, Brazil Make Deal To Ditch US Dollar For Bilateral Trades

 The Move To Ditch The US Dollar Is Gathering Momentum

China and Brazil this week concluded a deal to conduct trade between their nations in their own in their own currencies, ditching the established reserve currency for global trade, US dollar as an intermediary, the Brazilian announced said on Wednesday. This is Beijing’s latest strike against the almighty greenback in its currency war aimed at shifting the balance of geopolitical and economic power from west to east.

The deal will empower China, the top rival to US economic hegemony, and South America's biggest economy, Brazil, to conduct their massive trade in Brazilian commodities and Chinese manufactured goods, and the associated financial transactions directly, exchanging yuan for reais and vice versa instead of going through the dollar, a system which allowed US businesses and goverment agencies to skim off the cream from each transacyion for themselves.

It is this systematic abuse of the financial power gained from being issuer of the reserve currency that has kept the US economy on top throughout the past 30 years of failing US foreign and industrial policy.

“The expectation is that this will reduce costs... promote even greater bilateral trade and facilitate investment,” the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil) said in a statement.

It is not the first bilateral agreement to abandon the US$ as the de facto world currency this week.

China settled its first LNG trade in yuan; but gold remains the bigger winner in the global de-dollarization.

 

The U.S. dollar's role as the world's reserve currency was further tested as more nations chose to settle commodity trades with national currencies or the Chinese renminbi.

On Tuesday, the Shanghai Petroleum and Natural Gas Exchange announced that it completed its first yuan-settled trade for liquid natural gas between China's National Offshore Oil Corporation and France's TotalEnergies.

According to press releases from the financial markets, confirmed by Reuters, 65,000 tonnes of LNG imported from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) changed hands. This latest  trade deal comes as China tries to establish the renminbi as an international non - dollar currency.

The trade also came after President Xi Jinping traveled to Saudi Arabia in early December to strengthen economic ties with the Middle East and encourage the region to use the renminbi to settle its oil and gas trades, a visit that has resulted in detente between the formerly hostile regional powers, Saudi Arabia and Iran, the latter being a long term ally of China.

.At the same time, the renminbi has been Russia's defacto reserve currency for the past year since it invaded Ukraine, which prompted Western Nations led by the U.S. to impose harsh economic sanctions, cutting the nation off from Western financial markets.As a result of this collaboration with China, now also supported by India, the west's economic sanctions have economically harmed America's NATO allies far harder that they have Russia, which had no problem finding customers in South est Asia and Aftica eager to buy it oil and minerals without having to pay exorbitant commissions to Ameican middle - men.

23 Countries Now Abandoning US Dollar

A new world monetary system is being set up right now which will completely kill the US dollar, which is the world's reserve currency.

23 countries (60% of the world's GDP) are setting up swap lines which bypass the dollar and SWIFT, which is the dollar-based worldwide financial transaction system.

These countries include Russia, China, India, and even Germany, France, and the United Kingdom.

Once the new system is in place, the dollar won't be needed in these countries and a new reserve currency will come into being. All those dollars in foreign accounts will come home, which will annihilate the dollar dominated monetary system.

Also, China just announced that it will stop purchasing US Treasury bonds (holding dollars in reserve). This will force The Federal Reserve to print even more dollars than the $85 billion per month it's currently printing. NB: References to printing money in the financial press refer to the practice of borrowing money by selling bonds for hard currency. The seller must pay interest to the bondholder and also redeem the bond at face value after a fixed term (usually 2,5 or 10 years.) Bond trading is a complicated business and this is not the place for a more detailed explanation.)

Brussels Cancels Looming Ban on Internal Combustion Engine Cars

 

Picture: Fords of Winsford

Wednesday 29 March 2023

The UK's plans to achieve net zero ahead of any other developed nation was dealt a blow yesterday and the proposed ban on the sale of new internal combustion engine cars by 2030 was thrown into chaos when the EU Commission (de facto ruling committe of the European Union,) scrapped its own proposed restrictions on the sale of petrol and diesel fuelled cars after opposition from Germany's powerful auto industry.

Senior figures in the industry warned that British rules due to take effect in 2030 are untenable following the European climbdown, which will allow internal combustion engines as long as they burn carbon-neutral petrol alternatives.

The European Union will go ahead with its ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars from 2035 but will now allow these so-called e-fuels, which have been reclassified as carbon neutral following a backroom compromise forced on it by the German negotiators on Tuesday night.

Sources in Brussels and London suggested the UK government was considering following the Commission’s lead by also allowing an e-fuel exemption. British carmakers Aston Martin and McLaren are already understood to be examining e-fuels as an option for powering future models.

Critics of the Government’s Net Zero plans claimed a victory for common sense on learning of the EU decision, with some going so far as to demand a total review of 'net zero' policy is needed. Ecoloons representing Greenpeace, Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil have said that it could slow down electric vehicle adoption although recent sales figures suggest take up of EVs is declining as owners become aware it is almost imposssible to offload an electric car in the second hand market.

The former Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith said: “The 2030 deadline for the elimination of petrol and diesel engine cars in the U.K. is simply not achievable. Unless we delay, we hand a massive boost to the Chinese car manufacturers. They are already dominant.”

Britain is to ban the sale of new cars that run on petrol and diesel only in seven years’ time under plans drawn up by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson but this policy now looks to be in jeopardy.

The EU’s e-fuel exemption will allow a synthetic alternative to petrol which is made by mixing carbon dioxide captured from the air with hydrogen obtained by splitting water molecules using renewable energy.

Currently this is expected to be more expensive than petrol, however, Benedetto Vigna, the boss of Ferrari, said this week that he expects the price to fall as the market grows and economies of scale become viable. Industry experts believe synthetic petrol and diesel could be the beginning of a return to sanity that would allow carmakers to focus on collaborating with chemical companiesproducing lower-cost e-fuels instead of expensive battery powered cars.

Andrew Graves, a car industry veteran and professor at the University of Bath, said: “I think it’s a very exciting technology that we’re looking at, so that we can not only use it for things like motorsport, but we can also more importantly use it for keeping existing vehicles on the road. I think there’s a lot of things that the Government needs to look at before it goes hell bent on just having a blanket ban on diesel or petrol.”

Global Corporate Power versus The Farmers On Their Tractors

 

In this blog we have reported in detail for around six months now, the tractor protestes staged initially by farmers in The Netherlands, but later spreading to Belgium, France, Poland, Italy, Spain and Germany. Hundreds of farmers have driven their tractors into towns and cities, moving slowly through streets and arterial roads to cause gridlock, in protest at new environmental protection policies imposed by the European Union (EU) to force farmers to reduce the numbers of livestock they keep and to limit the amount of commercial fertliser they are permitted to use. It should surprise nobody then, that attempts by member state's governments to implement the policy have sparked massive protests by farmers, who see it as a direct attack on their livelihoods or that the recemty formed small farmers party, the   BBB  (slogan — “No Farms, No Food” ) resonated with voters to the extent that the party emerged as the largest contingent in the Dutch senate after elections earlier this month. 

But aside from concerns about the impact of the measure on the country’s food security, and on a centuries-old rural way of life integral to Dutch national identity, the rationale behind this drastic measure is also questionable. Agriculture currently accounts for almost half of the country’s output of carbon dioxide, yet the Netherlands is responsible for less than 0.4% of the world’s emissions. No wonder many Dutch fail to see how such negligible returns justify the complete overhaul of the country’s farming sector, which is already considered one of the most sustainable in the world: over the past two decades, water dependence for key crops has been reduced by as much as 90%, and the use of chemical pesticides in vast greenhouses has been almost completely eliminated.

Given the irrational nature of the EU policy, which seeks not only to limit Carbon Dioxide emissions but also emissions of nitrogen, an inert gas that forms 78% of the air we breathe, many protesting farmers believe the folly cannot be blamed solely on the urbanite “green elites” currently running the Dutch and other EU member states' governments. They suggest one of the underlying reasons for the move is to squeeze independent farmers from the market, allowing their land to be bought out by multinational agribusiness giants who recognise the immense value of the country’s land — not only is it highly fertile, but it is also strategically located with easy access to the north Atlantic coast (Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe). They also point out that prime minister Rutte is an Agenda Contributor of the World Economic Forum (WEF), which is well known for being corporate-driven, while his finance minister and Minister of Social Affairs and Employment are also tied to the body. The struggle playing out in the Netherlands would seem to be part of a much bigger game that seeks to “reset” the international food system by concentrating control in the hands of a few global corporations.

The arrogance, hubris and stupidity of these technocrats is so profound it’s almost comical – if it wasn’t so tragic. If you force  a Dutch farmer to cull their herd by say 1,000 animals, you aren’t doing anything to help the environment. Demand for these animals won’t magically disappear. The supply will simply be filled somewhere else.

And because the Dutch are maybe the most efficient and productive farmers in the world, production will almost certainly shift somewhere much less desirable, where the environmental footprint is significantly worse. So now we get some farmer in Brazil burning down 1,000 acres of rainforest so he can create the pasture to fill the market void left by the Dutch.

Meanwhile, in Holland you’ve made some farmers wealthier, but unproductive. They will likely invest their money in real estate or some other financial instrument that doesn’t produce tangible products or jobs.

None of these policies are based on a holistic knowledge of the likely impact they will have, they are not formulated by people with experience of farming or food production but by people who have spent their working lives cocooned in universities studying mathematical models of food production. There will be endless unforeseen consequences. For instance, insects feed on animal dung. No animals, no dung, no insects, no wildflowers. Globalist policies are recipes for the sterilisation of the earth.

Technocrats, like socialists, never seem to learn from their past mistakes. Their anthem is always ‘this time it will be different’. But it never is different and once again this time a few people who are already obscenely rich, and obscenely powerful because their great wealth has enabled them to buy political influence without having to endure the inconvenience of getting elected, will gain much more wealth and power from this nonsense while the rest of us will pay for the folly. 

The poorest will pay the most whether the lower income cohort in developed countries or the subsistence farmers and their ilk in the poorest countries.

 This whole green movement has been captured by the wealth globalists with a few self - interested stooges and well intentioned puppets to do the shouting. The wealthy will eat their Steak and the poor will be lucky to get enough of the powdered bugs and genetically modified beans. Eating insects for many will be about scavenging (Mopani Worms in Africa for example) and not buying in lab grown protein.

In the past I was frequently angered by the daily torrent of environmentalist propaganda we have regularly  been fed through mainstream media news organisations, with the BBC being by far the worst culprit.  Much of this is mindless repetition of themes such as "humanity is destroying the planet," for which there is no empirical evidence, only the output from mathematical models based on outrageous assumptions. Yet apparently ‘intelligent’ individuals, absorb this uncritically or suspend disbelief and allow themselves to be swept along on the current of mob hysteria. 

The phrase: “If you tell a big lie and repeat it often enough it becomes the received truth!” is often credited to Josef Geobbels, propaganda chief in Hitler's regime, but despite its odious antecedents it has become dogma for the cult of globalism. Anyone capable of remaining detached and giving an objective and critical reading to the dailt news torrent could only conclude the aim is to brainwash the public into a state of dependency on the state, and if the state - controlled broadcaster is at the forefront of the brainwashing campaign that only adds to the credibility of the propaganda.

 In the UK government policy appears to be fixated in the insane ambition of being the first developed nation to achieve ‘Net Zero’ , a carbon neutral industialised society rather than dealing with problems like energy security, food supply stability, and shifting domestic agriculture towards food self-sufficiency for the nation. Let the people eat insects, the ecoloons chant.Let the people eat insects, the ecoloons chant.

Better to have ‘rewilded’ farms thus getting rid of cattle and their environmentally destructive farts, if we reduce beef production it will benefit wildlife, although nobody has yet explained how the rewilding lobby's plan to reintroduce wild boar, wolves and bears to the British countryside will benefite the vegetation they destroy or the deer, hares and rabbits they eat.  

It seems nothing can stop this madness. The Lords of Misrule have somehow hijacked the apparatus of government.

Zelensky Admits Ukraine Already Ran Out Of Ammo

 

Authored by Andrew Korybko via TheAutomaticEarth.com,

The US-led West’s Mainstream Media (MSM) began reporting more accurately on the military-strategic dynamics of the NATO-Russian proxy war in Ukraine since the start of the year, but the true test of their comparatively improved integrity will be whether they raise awareness about Zelensky’s latest damning admission. In an interview with Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun, he candidly told his interlocutors that “We do not have ammunition. For us the situation in the East is not good.”

This is a major revelation for several reasons.

• First, it proves that Russia is winning NATO’s self-declared “race of logistics” in the sense that its armed forces still have ammo to continue fighting while the West’s Ukrainian proxies already ran out of that which their patrons provided over the past year.

• Second, the aforesaid aid that was already extended to this crumbling former Soviet Republic exceeds $100 billion, which makes Russia’s leading position in this “race of logistics”
  Continurall the more impressive.

• Third, Zelensky’s admission adds credence to what the Washington Post recently reported regarding how poorly Kiev’s forces are faring in this conflict, especially its “severe ammunition shortages” that one of its sources spoke about. Fourth, the preceding points drastically decrease the chances that Kiev’s upcoming counteroffensive will achieve much of anything and actually make it increasingly likely that such a move would be an epic mistake that could ultimately lead to a decisive Russian breakthrough.

• And finally, it can therefore be expected that Zelensky and his agents of influence across the West will beg for even more aid, arguing that the failure to pay up would risking making their prior investments in this proxy war all for naught if Kiev ends up losing to Russia. The problem, however, is that no amount of money can make ammunition appear out of thin air since it requires a lot of time to scale production accordingly to meet these newfound exorbitant needs.

The very fact that Ukraine is out of ammunition proves that the West’s defeat in its self-declared “race of logistics” with Russia might already be a fait accompli by this point since it’s clear that Kiev can’t keep pace with its opponent despite being backed by all of NATO’s military-industrial capacity. ...

Eminent Oxford Scientist Says Wind Power "Fails On Every Count"

 

Authored by Chris Morrison via DailySceptic.org,

It could be argued that the basic arithmetic showing wind power is an economic and societal disaster in the making should be clear to a bright primary school child. Now the Oxford University mathematician and physicist, researcher at CERN and Fellow of Keble College, Emeritus Professor Wade Allison has done the sums. The U.K. is facing the likelihood of a failure in the electricity supply, he concludes.

“Wind power fails on every count,” he says, adding that governments are ignoring “overwhelming evidence” of the inadequacies of wind power, “and resorting to bluster rather than reasoned analysis”.

Professor Allison’s dire warnings are contained in a short paper recently published by the Global Warming Policy Foundation. He notes that the energy provided by the Sun is “extremely weak”, which is why it was unable to provide the energy to sustain even a small global population before the Industrial Revolution with an acceptable standard of living. A similar point was made recently in more dramatic fashion by the nuclear physicist Dr. Wallace Manheimer. He argued that the infrastructure around wind and solar will not only fail, “but will cost trillions, trash large portions of the environment and be entirely unnecessary”.

In his paper, Allison concentrates on working out the numbers that lie behind the natural fluctuations in the wind. The full workings out are not complicated and can be assessed from the link above. He shows that at a wind speed of 20mph, the power produced by a wind turbine is 600 watts per square metre at full efficiency. To deliver the same power as the Hinkley Point C nuclear plant – 3,200 million watts – it would require 5.5 million square metres of turbine swept area. ...

Wind Turbine truths

Green energy, Green dreams

Just When We Need It Most, Renewable Energy Disappears
In an encouraging sign of a great awakening, million of people in the UK are now, after a week of brutally cold, absolutely windless weather asking "Why have we wasted so much money on wind turbines and harvesting solar energy."
  Yet when politicians are asked directly: "How do we keep the lights on and our homes warm when the wind does not blow and the sun is too low in the sky to make much impression on photovoltaic cells that do the business in solar panels?

Europe's Cold Spell Exposes Green Energy Policy Failure
So far the autumn of 2022 has been unusually mild which has had eco-warriors getting worked up and gluing their arses to motorways and airport runways to demand that we stop using oil. However winter temperatures across Europe predictably dropped sharply in late November and through most of December to date have been positively arctic. Scientists have offered the opinion that the cold weather spell the ongoing European gas crisis is now “likely” to worsen significantly as usual seasonal weather spreads across the northern half of the continent, bringing with it an increased need for domestic heating.

Minister's Claim That 40% UK Energy Comes From Renewables Is Technically Illiterate
Britain's newly installed Secretary of State for Energy, Grant Shapps, is still learning the job so perhaps we should cut him some slack, but even so a statement he made on our energy supply today shows astounding ignorance of technical details relating to his portfolio.
Answering a question in Parliament this morning about Britain's ability to reach its target of getting 40% of our energy needs from sustainable sources, Shapps sneered that it was not possible for us to reach 40% now as we already get 43% from wind. Unfortunately the sneering sarcasm was misplaced but served to reveal the man in charge of energy policy does not know the difference between energy and electricity.

Amazing Increase in Global Sea Ice Confounds the Net Zero Warmageddonists

UK Government Belatedly Discovers The Uselessness Of Sustainables In Relation To Energy Security
The policy that Boris Johnson's Premiership will be remembered for is nor 'getting Brexit done,' but the government's disastrous pledge to make Great Britain the first developed nation to achieve a 'net zero' national energy system. The neglect and running down of traditional energy systems (coal, gas, nuclear,) along with flushing money down the toilet by investing in intermitternt power sources (wind, solar,) rather than Putin's war in Ukraine is responsible for the current crisis.

Europe: Green Tyranny Versus The People

 

We have reported in this blog on the latest green nonesense, namely EU demands for unreasonable cuts to nitrate fertiliser use and to numbers of livestock kept on farms, in order to reduce the agricultural sectors notrogen emissions which are alleged to be harmful to the environment. The real reason for thos new war in nitrogen, an inrert gas which forms over 75% of our breatheable atmosphere, is more likely to be necessitated by a desire among the European bureaucratic elite's desire to satisfy their ivory tower environmental and climate rules thus enabling the self righteous elitists to feel virtuous. With threats of severe financial punishments for nations which don’t comply with the required cuts this policy must be seen as a direct attck on Europe's food producers.

When angry voters kick out the politicians attempting to impose these unpopular cuts, as happened in regional elections in Netherlands last week, the EU claims their hands are clean, because it was the elected politicians who actually voted to accept EU recommendations as policy, and impose the penalties for non compliance which has led to the populist backlash. But the EU are still there in the background, setting targets and demanding cuts which cannot be net by any practical means and compliance can only be enforced by abuses of power.

Have elected politicians in Netherlands, and Germany, Poland, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain, nations to which the farmers' tractor protests have spread, really been reduced humandroids, capable only of carrying out the bidding of unelected EU bureaucrats? No matter which politicians are elected, they quickly get a visit from the EU, the real leadership, and receive a long list of demands, attached to severe penalties for non-compliance.

I hope the BoerBurgerBeweging / Farmer-Citizen Movement has the testicular fortitude to call the EU’s bluff. This EU green tyranny, can only maintain its grip on power so long as it operates from the shadows. If the BBB calls the EU’s bluff, and forces the EU to show their hand, to openly start ordering Netherlands politicians to comply, the situation would rapidly run out of control. After last week the position of the ruling coalition in the National Assembly is untenable. It is hard to imagine the people of The Netherlands would put up with such blatant abuse abuse of their democracy and national sovereignty and accept their elected government, being openly ordered around like hired hands. Anyone who thinks they will does not much about the nistory of The Netherlands and Dutch people.

But there is a pattern here that has been building for severasl decades.  The EC seems to be assuming more power than it was ever meant to have. Only more states quitting the EU, as the UK did, will stop this madness (and, even then, maybe not). If nitrogen is to be demonized, as CO2 has been, will someone tell these politiical clowns and the idiots who  advise them, (idiot, I much conclude, has become a synonym of scientist,) just what proportion of the atmosphere nitrogen represents

To get some clue as to what is really going on we have to consider why there is such a strong commitment to green lunacy from the political class in Europe. One is the memory of the lessons of WWII. Its a constant underlying unspoken memory, but it influences everything. Deeply buried under it and never spoken of, but there, is the sense that the EU is the only conceivable way to make a world with a united Germany safe, but there’s also the feeling that they cannot conceivably go back to the Europe of fully independent nation states in any case. 

Thus, since the original Common Market of 6 nations transformed into the European Economic Community in the 1960s or 70s and began to expand the thrust has been for 'ever closer union.'

I remember seeing a TV news report on a performance of Gorecki’s Third Symphony, attended on some EU occasion by the EU dignitaries (including the UK PM of the time, David Cameron). There was no doubt why it had been included.

The second reason the EU will probably survive this pushback  against its authoritarian control freakery is because like all bureaucracies its institutions are surprisingly adaptable. Bureaucrats' greatest skill is to protect their careers, incomes and privileged lifestyles, the organisations they manage find ways through every crisis by fudge and compromise. So this kind of opposition to green tyranny we are seeing now may be encouraging to those of us who oppose authoritarianism and globalism, but it would be foolish to write off the bureucrats so soon, they have a way of muddling through through somehow.

The thing that may at some point break up the Union is an external shock of the right nature and scale (a collapse of the global banking system for example.)  But you have to ask yourself what will replace it in such a case. To go back to the Europe of nations, boundaries, independent currencies would cause enormous and costly upheaval. The yearned for  United States of Europe may have become an impossible dream but the current 27 member EU contains too many economic basket cases among its membership to simply break up. But as we have seen over the past two weeks, a collapse of the global banking system is more likely than any of us want to imagine. So we must stay in the game and hope the dice in those casinos known as the financial markets roll our way.

Europes Tractor Protests Spread To Germany And Now Include Fishing Trawlers

 from Breitbart Europe, 24 March 2023

Picture: Getty Images

Hundreds of farmers have descended in their tractors on a small German coastal town to protest measures imposed by the European Union as part of the Great Reset and the bid to 'save the planet' by reducing CO2 emissions from cow farts.

400 tractors reportedly gathered in the North Sea fishing port and tourist resort of Büsum on Wednesday to protest what is probably the most insane environmentalist policy dreamed up by the EU idealogues to day, to reduce the amount of nitrogen emitted by agricultural processes by attacking the way farmers produce our food. The policy is of course being gleefully and zealously being implemented by politicians in Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, Madrid, Warsaw and other EU member states on their behalf.

The protest by German farmers follows a pattern set bu similar mass demonstrations in Belgium and the Netherlands, all of which were organised to express opposition the European Commission’s plan to reduce nitrogen pollution across the European continent, even if that means forcibly closing farms in some areas deemed to be problematic. What mystifies sensible people most about this policy is that nitrogen makes up over 75% of the eart's atmosphere and is essential to plant and animal life.

Such green agenda policies have angered many people in Germany, both in and beyond the agricultural sector with thousands of ordinary citizens joining the hundreds of farmers descending on Büsum to attend the three-day protest against green agenda rules imposed by regional, national and European authorities. 

While the policies of Germany’s ruling coalition, apparently dictated by the far left Green party and the Green farming minister Cem Özdemir are portrayed as being about animal welfare and a transition to organic farming, critics point out the inevitable results of these sound-good policies are farms with fewer animals producing less food, thus inevitably leading to higher food prices and more pressure on living standards.

Unfortunately though the nominally centrist Social Democrats (SDP) are the largest coalition partner, they are held to ransom by The Greens without whom the SDP could not form a sustainable coalition. Thus while claiming to be a moderte government the coalition is enacting increasingly extremist policies, especially on environment, immigration and social issues.

Özdemir for his part has said that while he takes “hunger very seriously”, nevertheless he believes “you shouldn’t misuse it as an argument to make compromises in terms of biodiversity and climate protection.” 

This is, of course, nor far removed from 'Let them eat cake,' and though Özdemir may not lose his head for making such a crass and ignorant remark, Germany's coalition government is looking increasingly unsustainable with the pro - business Free Democratic Party (FDP) having effectively quit due to losing half its support because it has supported far left policies imposed by The Greens.

The farmers protest in Büsum has been joined by at least 60 trawlers, the fishermen are set to hold a demonstration at sea in protest of an EU ban on certain types of trawling, a move that is set to severely damage Germany’s shrimp fishing industry. The EU says the fishing technique is harmful to the environment. Surprisingly perhaps, the Cultural Marxist idealists of the European Commissioners have not gone as far as to claim fishing is racist.

In spite of repeated repeated warnings from academics, business and welfare agencies that food production in the Europe is now under threat largely due to energy prices and the war in Ukraine, The Bureaucrats of Brussels have simply pressed ahead with their policy of making life impossible for farmers, in line with their ideological aim to shift wealth from Europe's prosperous liberal democracies to third world shitholes run by tyrannical dictators. To this end they have forced governments of member nations into implementing various restrictions on what fertilisers and pesticides they can use, often justifying any bans with totally spurious and pseudoscientific references to the environment.

By far the worst of these measures are those aimed at curbing the nitrogen content of European soils, with officials in Brussels outright ordering authorities in the Netherlands to forcibly shut down farms in the country in order to hit green targets set by EU bureaucrats which make no sense at all in either practical or scientific terms.

The threat of these forced farm shutdowns has been the trigger that provoked mass outrage in the country over the last year, culminating in the small FarmerCitizenMovement (BBB) party coming first in the country’s local elections last month.
