Even as they plough their fields, farmers whose work feeds cities, are being ploughed out of business by the United Nation’s destructive-to-humanity Agenda 21/30.
The most frightening thing about this worrisome turn of events is that most farmers don’t even know that their demise by the world’s biggest bureaucracy is already well underway.
In fact, were it not for an email from Lt. Robert K. Powell Jr. (Ret) in Oregon, Canada Free Press (CFP) may never have come across it this stunning news:“The demonstrations began earlier this month after the Dutch government announced that Dutch livestock farming should be slashed by up to 50% to meet commitments on reducing nitrogen emissions.”Only crooked politicians, who are never out in the fields with the cows, could get away with blaming them for adding to climate change through “nitrogen emissions”.
“Farmers were irate after learning that the same restrictions would not apply to the aviation industry. (Watson) “Demonstrators clogged up major roads and highways once again today, causing traffic jams across the entire country and leading to the Dutch army being called out. “Last year you didn’t hear anything about nitrogen, and now suddenly it’s a mortal question,” farmer Micha Bouwer of the Farmers Defence Force told state broadcaster NOS. “These are all people in the city who have two plants on their balcony and say ‘nature is suffering’.” “Farmers also argue that their crucial role in food production is being overlooked and that they are being blamed for climate change. “Court rulings recently made clear that the Dutch government must cut greenhouse gas emissions “in order to protect the life and family life of citizens” in the country.

“The protest once again underscores how punitive restrictions, bureaucracy and taxes related to climate change hysteria are impacting working class and lower middle class people. “Middle and upper class Extinction Rebellion demonstrators have been clogging major cities for over a week demanding more of the very thing farmers in the Netherlands have been protesting against.”Then as Jack Phillips points out, there’s the “death of New Zealand Farming and private property by edict of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern coming down the pike. “We should all want to be wise and careful stewards of the beautiful planet we call home, says Jack. “But most of us realize that humans in general, are not always the best stewards. We can be wasteful of our natural resources and have on occasion reduced biodiversity. “Therefore, when we read about groups and organizations calling for a“Green Revolution”, and a new relationship between humanity and nature it is easy to engage some agreement with their ideas. However, the motive of “Sustainable Development” that is permeating our society is not about protecting the environment. Influential leaders and willing dupes are using good citizens concerns about future stewarding of resources to legislate “Government Control” of all lands, water, and human production. “…The Communist Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, was flying to New Zealand with a Climate Change delegation to have behind the scenes secret meetings with Prime Minister Ardern – and participate in a YouTube Livestream event held at Auckland University this afternoon 4.45-6 pm, 8 October 2019 – organized by the Embassy of the Netherlands in New Zealand, Victoria University of Wellington (where the NZ branch of the Fabian Society is located) called Prime Ministers in Conversation: Climate Change in Transition livestream.
