Protest Becomes Open Rebellion In Europe As Farmers Uprising Against 'Green' Policies Spreads To Other Industries.

 

1 February 2024

As this blog has been reporting since the late summer of 2022, farmers across many european Union member states including France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Belgium, Romania, have been gradually esclating a campaign of protest against the globalist policies beimg imposed by the EU and implemented by far left governments. The campaign started in Netherlands when the recently ousted government threatened compulsory puchase of farms that did not reduce nitrogen emissions by culling livestock. The Dutch farmers protests mainly took the form of obstructing major transport networks with tractors. 

Over the past eighteen months this campaign has become a widespread populist movement and is sweeping Europe at a time when over-regulation, high taxes, nonsensical 'net zero targets and the climate change agenda threaten the livelihoods and living standards not just of farmers but of working-class people in a wide range of industries. An even bigger worry for the now - panicking elites is that the transformation of a campaign by disgruntled farmers into a widespread non - violent (so far) comes several months before the campaigning for election to the European Parliament gets under way in in June. 

Some countries hit hardest so far by protests have been Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and France. Protests have already spread to Poland and Belgium and are expected to reach Spain and Portugal within the next few days. 

On Tuesday (30 January,), France's new prime minister, Gabriel Attal, promised farmers emergency funds and stricter trade controls on foreign products to guarantee fair competition but the farmers' union said it was to little too late and encouraged their members to continue the fight which the protestors appear to be doing with considerable enthusiasm. 

"I'm so proud of you," Serge Bousquet-Cassagne, head of Lot-et-Garonne department's farmer's association, told protesters in the south of Paris, adding

"You are fighting this battle because if we don't fight we die." 

Meanwhile, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin told local TV station France 2 that police were preparing to defend strategic areas of larger cities. 

"They can't attack police, they can't enter Rungis, they can't enter the Paris airports or the center of Paris," said Darmanin, adding, "But let me tell you again that if they try, we will be there."

One gets the feeling that the minister may prove to be disastrously wrong. Will French troops fire on French citizens if ordered to do so or will they mutiny. This is how close EU member states have come to civil conflict because of the ruling elite's disregard for the welfare of the people and obsessive commitment to loonytoons ideologies like net zerom critical race theory and transgenderism.

According to Armstrong Economics:

Farmers throughout the world have been protesting the increasing regulations on agriculture. The media is barely covering the story, and when they do mention it, they say that the farmers are protesting due to Russia blocking supplies from Ukraine. This is simply untrue. The farmers are protesting against over-regulation, taxes, and the climate change agenda that is making it increasingly difficult for them to make a successful living.

EU farmers' complaints are very basic:

  • Out-of-control energy prices (thank whoever blew up the Nord Stream).

  • Disastours carbon-cutting targets.

  • Overall inflation.

  • Bureaucracy from radicals in Brussels.

  • Ukrainian grain imports. 

The demonstrations, which could soon consume Europe, come ahead of the June European Parliament elections.

The demonstrations, which could soon consume Europe, started off with some humour, such as French farmers in Toulouse dumping dung on the town hall steps, but as steadily edging closer to violence with lorries and cars being overturned and burned and reports that police in some places have opened fire with rubber bullets on protestors.. 

As well as rge big issues listed abover, small farmers are upset that billionaire psychopaths linked to the WEF elites, such as Bill Gates whose agenda is to control everything he does not actually own, are aiming to reset the global food supply chain, a move that could render small-scale farming obsolete in favour of global 'Big Ag' corportations. If We The People are stupid and cowardly enough to allow that to happen, the recent increases in living costs will soon seem like insignificant small change.

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.

COVID To Blame For Inlation Says Economically Illiterate Bank Of England Chief

 An interesting insight into why the liberal democracies are all in the throes of financial crises emerged yesterday as a result of a pissing contest between the current head of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, and his predecessor Mark Carney.

Canadian national Carney was always a supporter of the European Union and throughout his tenure at the BoE from 2013 to 2020 was a strong supporter of closer economic integration with the European Union and then of the 'Remain' campaign and finally of efforts by certain billionaire psychopaths and globalist politicians to habe the referendum result overturned. Since leaving his role at the Banl he has consistently spoken and published articles claiming Brexit is to blame for everything from inflation to extreme weather events. 

The current BoE chief Andrew Bailey said in an obvious rebuke to Carney earlier this week that Covid is to blame for the inflation crisis rather than Brexit, which is still wrog but not as stupidly wong as Carney's belief that Brexit is to blame for everything

Mr Bailey said the pandemic is the key problem, as workers who left the jobs market during Covid do not appear to have returned, leaving a sustained hole in the economy.

It should be obvious to anyone who has more tits or testicles that inflation is caused by banks, more specifically the central banks. While theidiotic responses of the debeloped nations to the COVID pandemic led to an orgy of money printing, which certainly did not help, inflation is an upwards movement of wealth. Bankers, as always, hide behind false accusations, always pointing towards big events and not their own nefarious activities in stripping the wealth away from ordinary people. People are left not knowing who to blame in this instance because saying it is ‘Covid’ or ‘Brexit’ is to cloud the issue in political blaming and point towards the governing party at the time, namely the Tories, who have no ability to make financial decisions without the say so of their banking overlords. Inflation, just like the banking crises of 2008 and 1929, was caused by central banks, the only winners in this game.

The inflation we are experiencing may have originated with manufactured supply chain shortages – starting with the gas and oil price in the Autumn before the start of the Ukraine war but these shortages are being caused by a combination of government policy globally (in response to UN Agenda 2030) and a change in the strategic orientation of large corporations to an ESG agenda – otherwise known as stakeholder capitalism. The banks also have a role in setting high interest rates but these are mainly an attempt to fix the broken debt markets. While the COVID policies were ridiculously over the top considering the true level of threat posed by the disease, the orgy of money printing kicked off by lockdowns, on the back of a decade of idioically cheap credit which encouraged a growth of deby to eye watering levels, and then followed by steep increases in interest rates have reduced the value of money while simultaneously raising the cost of goods and services. And it is all down to mismanagement of the money supply by central banks as they choose to serve political ideologies rather than practical economic consideratons. RELATED:

Germany is Now A “Total Dictatorship” Says Dutch Journalist

 


Familiar scene from a run-of-the-mill Central Asian dictatorship (Picture: The Times)

A Dutch journalist has claimed that Germany is now a “total dictatorship”. This may seem like a case of the pot calling the kettle black given the Dutch government's plan to evict up to 3000 farmer from their land and return those acreages 'to nature' in a bid to lead the way among EU member states, to enforce total compliance with the latest loonytoons EU climate policy which requires EU members to reduce that dangerous pollutant nitrogen, which accounts for 78% of the air we breathe

The sad truth is that anyone living under the governments of the risibly misnamed 'liberal democracies' is currently living under and experiencing a “total dictatorship.” The ruling elites have declared war on the populations they govern and (theoretically) serve. Both the Carbon Dioxide scare and this latest campaign of fear about nitrogen are part of the war on food. The current energy crisis, which has been engineered deliberately is a war on healthy, comfortable living and on industry, the rapibly escalationg cost - of - living and accompanying food shortages, again deliberately engineered are an attack on prosperity and the war in Ukrain which could easily have been avoided is a deadly distraction from the mess we are really in.

Sonja van den Ende, a Dutch journalist said as much when she commented that Western nations have used talways believed were included in our inalienable human rights (Geneva Convention of 1948)

The Biggest Obstacle To Real Freedom Is The Belief That We Already Have It

The European Union is reportedly planning to target Russian media channels with the upcoming ninth sanctions package, freezing the assets of ANO TV-Novosti, RT’s parent company, and revoking licenses from those few outlets which still hold them within the bloc. The online news content published and broadcast by these channels has already been censored through government collaboration with Big Tech.

This is what the Western countries are doing since the start of the special military operation, even before that. Even before the Syrian war, wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, van den Ende said.

“But now it intensified a lot, and we see every day new things coming out. They clearly want to control the media, this is what they do already, and everything that is said in favor of Russia or just neutral about Russia is straight away banned everywhere.”-RT

Germany has repeatedly targeted RT and its German-language division RT DE in particular. The latest initiative in the field was floated this week by MP Andrea Lindholz, a CDU/CSU parliamentary group chair, who proposed to set up a special reporting office to tackle “Russian disinformation.”

Press freedom and free speech are now both virtually non-existent on this planet, indeed Klaus Schwab, leader of the neo - Nazi World Economic Forum recently said that his follower have inflitrated all media organisations and the institutions of state. How true this is we may never know but the evidence that his claim has some substance is vidsible and audible every day in the propaganda we see, hear and read.

Dystopia Disguised as Democracy: All the Ways in Which Freedom Is an Illusion

Germany, like The Netherlands, is already experiencing mass protests against inflation, food shortages, gas rationing, electricity blackouts and EU 'green' policies, van den Ende noted, expressing hopes that the country’s citizens will only protest more.” Of course, protesting does very little in the grand scheme of things, because masters have never cared about the opinions of their slaves.

“The next part, the freedom of speech is gone. What is left then? They have no life. They can’t pay their bills anymore, they can’t say what they want. It’s a total dictatorship, she said.

New World Order is however a phrase used many times since the beginning of the twentieth century by people who advocated a global totalitarian government as a way to end war and circumvent ethical objections to scientific progress that infringes on human rights.

Globalism Is Failing - All Roads Lead To Westphalia But There Will Be Trouble On The Way

by Egbert Nohbakkon
Saturday, Oct 01, 2022.

It's probably wise to kick off with a word of explanation about that rather cryptic headline. "Where TF is Waestphalia? some people might well ask, others, knowing it is a region in Germany might wonder WTF it has to do with globalism. Also known as Westphalian sovereignty it is a principle in international law and diplomacy that each state has exclusive sovereignty over its territory. This underlies the modern international system of sovereign states and is enshrined in the United Nations Charter. According to the idea, every state, no matter how large or small, has an equal right to sovereignty. It is named after Peace of Westphalia (1648), which ended the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) a conflict between Cathloic and Protestant forces in central Europe. 

The Westphalian peaked in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but has declined as certain wannabe global hegemons have used 'humanitarian intervention' as an excuse to meddling in the affairs of smaller states to remove regimes the globalists did not like and (usually) replace them with something far worse from the point of view of the people on whose behalf the intervention was launched.

At the moment the developed world is in the grip of several simultaneous crises, some engineered by the elites to advance their 'Great Reset' agenda, others the unintended consequences of tgos same elites' nefarious meddling and their inability to think things through properly. We have experienced many shocks in the past couple of years from the insanity of  the pandemic responses with its lockdowns, curtailment of personal liberties, mask and vaccine mandates and talk of vaccine passports and social credit systems and all to save us from a disease that was not likely to kill many people unless they were over 1000 years old or extremely ill before they caught it.

And in the amid all this disruption and the assaults on our freedom we ha Bond - villain - lookalike Klaus Schwab, superannuated neo - Nazi president of The World Economic Forum (WEF) proclaiming that the pandemic provided an opportunity for a 'Great Reset' and the world was never going back to how it was before, but in the 'New Normal' we would own nothing and be happy.

Politicians like the demented, geriatric, paedophile US President Joe Biden, the blustering buffoon and birthday cake addict Boris Johnson, Emmanuel Macron, the delusional French president who thinks he is a Roman God, and globalist academics at MIT,  University College London, Oxford, The Sorbonne, Heidleberg, Uppsala and around the world, proclaiming in chorus that we were “never going back to normal” and that we were going to have to accept the loss of many of our freedoms for the rest of our lives in order to combat the spread of COVID and 'Build Back Better.' 

People like Schwab competed to declare the beginning of the “Great Reset” and the launch of what the Davos gang who fly into the exclusive Swiss resort each year in their private jets to decice what iniquities can be imposed on the rest of us calls in the name of 'achieving net zero and saving the planet." .

  There have also been MANY political leaders who have strutted around on the speaking platforms and TV studios accusing opponents (conservatives mostly) of being “enemies of democracy.”

Such people (and they include most mainstream media journalistsd and pundits,) find nothing odd in claiming that their vision of “democracy” is based on removing individual freedom, suppressing free speech, medical tyranny and the forced expansion of cultural Marxism, or if their idea of democracy is government cooperation with corporate monopoly (in like with Benito Mussolini's definition of fascism,) and the erasure of our common culture and values, then who would not want to be seen as an enemy of “democracy.”

The globalists were really basking in the glow of their assumed victory. They thought they had us peasants by the scruff of the neck and that their agenda was all but assured. But as I have been arguing since last year, the money elites may have celebrated a little too early.

The great COVID hoax utterly failed if the goal was to implement longstanding mandates and restrictions across North America and Europe as has been hinted by Schwab and many neo - liberal politicians including Canada's Justin Trudeau and New Zealand's Jacinta Adern, both of whom claimed to be ;woke' liberals while imposing the most blatantly fascistic social controls of any free nation. 

If you want to know what the 'New Normal' would have looked like had the globalists succeded in delivering their agenda, just examine China with its endless lockdown cycles and digital vaccine passports which are an extension of the long established social credit system. The elites wanted that outcome for the west and they didn’t get it. They came close, but millions of Americans, Canadians and Europeans stood their ground and the cost to force us into compliance would have been too great.

Even Joe Biden has openly admitted that the pandemic is over (though he probably doesn't remember there was a pandemic.) They dropped the mandates because many large population nations were already experiencing civil unrest and the leaders they knew if that escalated into open revolt, they would lose.

If the goal of the pandemic fear factory was simply to get the population injected with the mRNA vaccines, here they also failed. With many states in the US 40% unvaxxed (according to official numbers) and the UK being caught in a lie, claiming only 3% were unvaccinated when unpublished figures held by the Office of National Statistics show the true figure is over 30% totally unvaxxed and even higher rates of refusal for second and booster shots. Many parts of the world have similarly large unvaxxed populations, there is a massive control group for the covid vaccines. If there are going to be constantly developing health problems associated the mRNA vax (like Myocarditis) then the public is going to know what caused them because of this control group. The globalists needed near-100% vaccination and they did not get anywhere close. Far too many people obviously value freedom more highly than the illusory safety of being a member of the herd.

The salvation of humanity lies in the fact that the elites simply do not understand the minset of we ordinary people, instead they assume we are a bovine, unthinking mass happy to go where we are diven, happy to comply with the instructions of authority figures even when those instructions are contrary to our individual or group interests. Instead, like Bonaparte's goats, we will follow only so far but unlike sheep will eventually realise we are being led to the (metaphorical?) slaughter and rebel. The behavioural scientists with their mathematical models of humanity greatly overestimated the public’s apathy when it comes to authoritarianism. The rebellion against COVID tyranny has been too large to brush aside and they will eventually be held accountable for their crimes against humanity.

But back to Westphalia and the iussue of national sovereignty, if the Globalists' power grab was somewhat premature and the propaganda promoting the implementation of global government had not completed its task, or there are still enough of us around who had a proper education that taught us to think for ourselves rather than the leftist indoctrination that has gradually replaced real learning in schools over the past 50 years, it is because We The People reacted strongly to what we saw happening in government and our national institutions. We recognised that the politicisation of education, healthcare, the police, the legal and criminal justice system, everything in fact has fallen under the influence of unelected bureaucrats and billionaire psychopaths. The first signs of rebellion came in 2016 when voters here in The UK defied the urgings of the political establishment, te media, the celebrity circus and Barack Obama who apparently though he was God-King of the Universe, and voted to leave the EU. Them America elected Donald Trump as President and in the following months anti EU and anti - Globalist parties in Italy, Germany and Sweden made big advances in elections. The recent election in Italy resulted in a landslide win for the conservative coalition and the new prime minister (and first woman prime minister), Georgia Meloni, gave a rousing victory speech this week which directly exposed the far-left invasion of western nations, globalism and the poisonous collusion with woke corporations to silence dissent. She called for a return to freedom, and what was the mainstream media response? They are calling her a “fascist.”

The Italian election is just a the latest manifestation of an ongoing trend, an awakening of the people to the imminent threats presented by globalists, and the globalists can’t stop it. The rise of centre right, nationalistic parties like Meloni's Brothers of Italy and The Sweden Democrats, Rassemblement Nationale in France, Germany's AfD and Vox in Spain are all popular rejections of globalism and its Cultural Marxist policies of attacking and undermining communities and the basic social unit, the family and against the centralisation of power and the politicisation of state institutions.

The fear among the elites is palpable and the more afraid they become the more oppressive and fascistic they become in trying to suppress dissent and corece people into complicity. Anti-globalism is now going mainstream, and as it does people are going to start looking for answers. Why have our economic conditions been so degraded? Why are we facing stagflationary crisis? Why are prices on everything continuing to climb? Why are all the world's leading economies dependent on debt to finance state activities> Why did we almost lose all of our civil liberties in the name of fighting a virus with a tiny 0.23% official median Infection Fatality Rate? Why are governments throwing money at a regime of neo - Nazi nutters to support their was against a post - Soviet tyranny? Why are pointless carbon controls being instituted in the middle of a supply chain crisis? Why are politicians and banks making everything so much worse?

The public outcry for a reckoning is growing and it’s the heads of globalists that will end up rotting on spikes around the landmarks of our cities if there is such a thing as natural justice. All roads to destruction lead back to them and the policies they have forced upon the populace. All roads to a better, more independent future with power held within communities can be traced back to Westphalia.

Protest breaks out in Belgium over skyrocketing energy costs

 

Protest breaks out in Belgium over skyrocketing energy costs

People in Belgium take to the streets in 'a national day of action over increased cost of living.

Thousands of people from all over the country descended on the Belgian capital Brussels on Wednesday for "a national day of action" to protest against skyrocketing electricity, natural gas and food prices and the government's inaction in the face of this perfect storm of crises. The protestors also wanted to draw attention to the sharp hike in the cost of living.

City offficials and senior police Officers said that around 10,000 took part but in line with custom and practice in EU states when commenting on anti EU protests this is probavly a vast underestimate. People from across the country joined the protest, carrying banners reading "Life is much too expensive, we want solutions now," and "Everything is going up except our wages," or chanting "Freeze prices, not people." City traffic and public transportation was disrupted.

EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS, CITIZENS GEAR UP FOR WORSENING ENERGY CRISIS

A Belgian opinion poll this week suggested that 64% of respondents are concerned that they will not be able to pay their electricity and gas bills, which have more than doubled over the last year, while 80% of said they are already trying to make energy and water savings.

"When we go grocery shopping, the weekly shop now costs 20, 30 dollars more at least,  depending on the shop you go to, than this time last year. We are reaching a point where our wallets can’t keep up," said Pascal Kraeso, a citizen of Brussels.

A few days ago Belgian Prime Minister Alexander de Croo warned that "the next five to 10 winters will be difficult" because of high electricity and natural gas prices fueled by Russia’s war in Ukraine. but with people all over Europe already at breaking point his warning was not well timed.
