Washington Examiner: Netherlands to buy out and close 3,000 farms to meet climate goals
The Dutch government is planning to buy out and close as many as 3,000 farms in the country, exacerbating an already-bitter dispute with growers as leaders attempt to halve the country’s nitrogen emissions by 2030.
Leaders said last week they plan to allocate some $25 billion to the buyout plan, which they will use to purchase between 2,000 and 3,000 Dutch farms and other large nitrogen emitters "well over" their property values.
If farmers do not agree to the plan, the buyouts could become compulsory. “There is no better offer coming,” Dutch Nitrogen Minister Christianne van der Wal told members of parliament last week.

WNU Editor: The Dutch are the most efficient farmers in the world. This government policy to close its farms is a prescription for disaster. And there is going to be blow-back .... Brussels set for revolt as Netherland's Rutte plans to shut down farms over EU laws (Express).
Pity the colonized.
ReplyDeleteAh, hell, let them eat shite. It's worth it so long as we save the planet.
ReplyDeleteI have some coolaid for you.
DeleteThis is Animal Farm-level mad-cap dystopian shit, man!
ReplyDeleteDutch farmers have been demonstrating and rioting for several months already about this. Including dumping manure at government offices, but here this tyrant is going forward with their edicts anyway.
ReplyDeleteThere's only one thing that stops fascism.
The people who push this - the globalists who want to make us dependent on them , during the Great Reset - need to be hung publicly by the neck until death. They commit treason, and mass murder
ReplyDeleteIt's neofeudalism, baby
ReplyDeleteOnce there is food scarcity, you will do what you are told
And "two men can have children" is being pushed for the next big multi trillion dollar market: human cloning, human organs
It's time to wake up. Something real sinister is going on and we better arrest these people before they kill us. They are ALREADY killing people in poorer countries by shutting our agricultural production. Why? Because it raises global food prices. They eradicate humans. Right now this happens.
Do you wish those PSYCHOPATHIC MASS MURDERERS to rule over you?
Act or you will be enslaved.
Food is so passe
ReplyDeleteidiots, this will bite them big time
ReplyDeleteThis is stupid ugly. all the posts above are worthy of thought and continued monitoring.
ReplyDeletePeople need to be caught, dragged out, and their heads beaten against the curb. No guns or knives or baseball bats needed.
ReplyDeleteThese idiots are making Putin look good and that is faint praise for Putin. Xi has his stupid COVID madness.
"Years ago, on a visit from Denver to D.C., I met with an old friend who once served as an attorney to the Senate Judiciary Committee and thus had frequent interactions with Biden. Knowing he was aware of my negative view of the senator, I asked his opinion. "He's always been good to me," he responded. "That's a pretty low bar," I replied. "It's my test," he shrugged. So it must have been for the senators, both Democrats and Republicans, who knew the real Joe Biden for nearly five decades. Now all Americans are paying a terrible price for their willingness to set such low standards."
There is not enough largesse to cut the pie that way and cutting the pie that way is not proportional to work accomplished.
You could make a case that Putin has to be corrupt sitting their with that Mansion in Sochi and all. It is actually an easy case to make. So Putin is corrupt and? These people in the EU are, They just have a nicer paper trail to pretty it up.
These EU people already screwed the pooch on energy. Now they want to do it on food. I knw a communist. They lied but it was still pretty near the truth, they said that they (and people around them) only really got depressed when they did not have enough to eat.
These EU fockers want to take us there.
NOT ONE OF THE FOCKERS HAS PUT PEN TO PAPER AND MADE ANY CALCULAITONS. THEY GET REPORTS FROM SUCK UPSWHO TELL THEM WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR. SURE THE REPRTS HAVE CALCUALAITON BUT THEY NEVER CHECK THEM. THEY SKIP TO THE SUMMARY AND THEN BASE THEIR PREDETERMINED DECISON ON THAT.
I know better than those science guys with their degrees. Listen to me. I am smart. I am home-schooled by a high school dropout
ReplyDelete3 STEM degrees plus additional work. How about you 7:30? My college was tied with one other college for #2. What about you 7:30?
ReplyDeleteYou are such a puss that if a politician told you to eat shit. You would. You are already psyching yourself up to eat bugs. So we know you would eat shit and grin. You hear a dinner bell every time you hear a toilet flush.
do you learn your shit from mommy or da da?
ReplyDeleteyour DNA is like the shirt in a public toilet that has not been flushed.
Maybe they should outsource the majority of their food production to Ukraine/Russia like they have their energy policy? As we have seen, doubling down can be so backwards that the line of thought then becomes progressive again. All the democrat hive mind gold fish galaxy brain "whimsical thinkers" will be backing this strategy soon. Ummm...or actually they have beeing backing it for well over a decade....it turns out....and they obviously still do despite the obvious. You cant argue with stupid is the main point here....only the alternative.
ReplyDeleteThose are EU rules and the Dutch are trying to meet those rules. Of course there is here as elsewhere conflict between those who profit from something produced and those who would close down or diminish the item that is profitable if in so doing it betters chances for slowing down or halting climate change.
ReplyDeleteWhich side are you on? that is the conflict. In the US there is the coal industry and its conflict with attempts to lessen the impact from that industry.
You might say: I want what I want now and who cares at my age about 30 years from now. Or: I need to think of my daughter's just-born child and the future of that kid.
Nice to hear form you Fred 9:52
ReplyDeleteWe have laws for this.
ReplyDeleteNo one here proposes to break the law.
These are acts of traitors, tyrants, despots, and psychopaths.
Just like we hung The Nazis back then, for Nuremberg violations, we will hang this bunch. Publicly. In accordance with law. After a fair trial.
BUT we must arrest them NOW.
The issue with the food production is this: Once shut off, you don't notice it at first, because we still have surplus BUT when you notice it, it is too late. It is a trap, because it takes years to bring those farms back up and produce all over again. Grow the crops takes ages, preparing the soil.
We must act now. Make the arrests. Citizen arrests if needed and where legal.
Then have public hearings.
They get a lawyer and they can bring their defence.
We will listen, and then judge.
I just predict we will hang them, because otherwise we will all be dead soon.
