Europe’s farmers revolt has just begun – more countries join in

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – In the Netherlands, farmers are protesting against the Rutte government’s climate activism and the alleged nitrogen crisis that will destroy a third of all farms in the country. Now the Duch are getting support from German farmers.

This is no minor sideshow since this small European country is the second-largest agricultural exporter in the world. Their agricultural exports are made up of 3 parts. US$61 billion worth of agricultural products, US$9 billion in agricultural material, knowledge, and tech as well as around US$24 billion worth of re-exports which brings in US$94 billion.

Germany is the third-largest exporter globally and its industry comprises cereals, dairy, beef, and sugar beets. Agricultural exports amass to a staggering US$86 billion.

Resistance is now also stirring in other countries. Is it the start of a vast transnational farmers’ revolt against the undemocratic “great reset” plans of the World Economic Forum WEF and its minions in the cabinets of many countries?

What started with the Dutch has spread to Germany, Poland, and now Italy as farmers collectively protest their governments’ destructive climate policies that threaten livelihoods and global food supplies.

(Australian Sky News)

Earlier this week, German farmers joined Dutch farmers in blocking a traffic circle in Heerenberg on the Dutch-German border to protest Dutch policies limiting nitrogen emissions that will lead to massive job losses and destroy food security across the country.

They have blocked border crossings between the Netherlands and Germany and an airport. In doing so, they are sending a signal against the disastrous WEF climate policy, which is being implemented step by step by the Klaus Schwab minions in the national parliaments.

The farmers even managed to capture a fighter jet at a Dutch airbase. The lack of opposition from the Dutch army speaks volumes in this regard.

Cooperation between the two groups began last week when German farmers supported the Dutch in slowly closing the Dutch-German border near De Lutte. It’s solidarity between farmers that sends a strong message.

Polish farmers have also joined the fight at home, demonstrating in Warsaw against their government’s policies. “Enough is enough. We will not be robbed,” one demonstrator can be heard shouting into a megaphone.

The protests in the Netherlands have also drawn the attention of Monika Prezeworska, director of the Polish Institute of Agriculture, who says the government needs to be aware of what is happening, adding that the Dutch government is treating farmers like “terrorists.”

“The shooting of tractors by protesting farmers in the Netherlands represents a new low for Western democracy,” she said.

The shooting Prezeworska is referring to occurred late Tuesday night when a Dutch police officer shot at an unarmed 16-year-old teenager who was leaving the protest and posed no threat to the officer – the officer has since gone into hiding. Police claim the teenager tried to ram the officers with his tractor, but video from the scene shows a very different story.

Italian farmers, meanwhile, have joined the fight, saying they’ve had enough of their country’s insane climate policies. “We are not slaves; we are farmers,” one farmer yells as he drives slowly. Then he tells the other farmers to “go to Rome.”

Now the only question is when the protest will spread to other countries. In Canada, where the government of WEF-Minion Justin Trudeau also wants to implement plans similar to those of the Dutch, people are already calling for similar protests.

Will we soon see a worldwide uprising of farmers against the presumptuous climate plans of the small and power-hungry globalist elites?
