Well I am impressed with this article. It gives a very thorough and up to date overview of the situation in the Netherlands regarding the farming crisis;
”The only way out for farmers seems to be to accept the offer by the government to sell their ownings for 120 percent of the value with a restriction not to be allowed to start another farm within the EU area. Many farmers still refuse the offers made. ‘Even when they pay 400 percent of the value I won’t leave, my son is going to be the next generation farmer.’
The draft agreement does not present information on effects on farmers’ income and consumers’ behavior. The advisory report from Wageningen University and Research (WUR) writes that they cannot advise on this topic as they do not have the information. With the reduction of cattle, farming land and a transition to regenerative farming they will be able to meet the goals on climate change. However, 30,000 jobs will be lost and €6.5 billion of added value.
Dutch citizens will be financing the €28 billion climate plan by extra taxes on food prices for example on milk products, meat, compounds for vegetation protection, and fertilizers while inflation is high and purchases are expensive.
Also, a prepared law for zero taxes on vegetables and fruits to promote healthy foods supposed to pass for January 2024 seems to make a U-turn. According to a report from SEO Economic Research it will be too complex and too expensive and it is not sure the introduction of this law will promote health. However, keeping taxes on vegetables and fruit will generate €550-950 million in income for government.”

Will the changes in Government help bring a halt to this madness ?
Not holding my breath, Freddy. The opposition want Rutte out immediately and a caretaker PM installed until elections take place in the autumn. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for any updates in the meantime. Also hopefully JaneDoe might be able to give her insights as I don’t follow politics too closely tbh, but I expect whoever fills Rutte’s shoes to still have the Agenda 2030 requirements very much as their objective.
Yes the WEF maniacs will take some stopping .

This may be a game changer?
Turns out Pfizer changed it’s manufacturing process between the trial and roll-out.
Change in DNA template for the mRNA and change in LNP manufacturing.
The ‘roll-out’ vaccine was only tested on 250 people.
There is now a question about Informed Consent, as the product changed and the information was based on a different product.
Interesting times.
my apologies if this is old news, I only came across this over the weekend.
Andrew Bridgen and Neil Oliver tried to debate the subject with a doctor on GB News. All the doctor could do was insult people. I’m glad he is not my doctor: –

It’s often been pointed out but just imagine a non freak person making a similar speech !!!
The sad thing is that the good bishop made a reasonable pastoral point, that in teaching that God is our Father, one has to be aware of those whose earthly fathers or stepfathers have let them down.
But that is a completely different matter from tossing words like “abusive patriarchy” around. The fact that the church of England’s bishops are a disgrace to the gospel doesn’t entail that episcopacy itself is a bad thing, but merely that earthly authority of all kinds can be abused.
Funnily enough, one seldom hears bishops taking a similarly apologetic line on abuse when 1 Peter 2:25 refers to Jesus as “the shepherd and bishop of your souls.”
On the subject of LTNs:
– Eh, what? ‘radicalised groups of people against cycling‘? Where’d he pull that idea from? (No doubt the same place too many government (all levels) ideas are pulled from). I used to work in Southwark twenty-something years ago; some cyclists were a real danger to pedestrians then. LTNs aren’t the cause of people’s disapproval of some cyclists.
– ‘…risk stoking opposition to broader aims such as net zero‘. So, not all bad then?
Substitute ‘Terf’ for the J word (rhymes with huw) and you can see that we’ve been in this situation before. It doesn’t end well.
On a more general note, H L Mencken pointed out in the 1920s that pragmatic politicians inflame anxieties about *or even create a perception of imminent serious harm from) “imaginary hobgoblins”, and then claim success when the harm does not materialise. Eventually the populace realises it has lost power (by more authoritarian legislation) and money (by way of taxes needed to defeat the hobgoblin) and tries to restore the balance, possibly by armed conflict. However, the next generation repeats the process, albeit with different hobgoblins.
Interesting MD4CE meeting yesterday evening, exploring how to disrupt the narrative, presented by Jonathan Engler of HART.
He made some interesting observations about how some individuals on this side of the situation are inadvertently still supporting the narrative. He use Dr McCullough’s ongoing support for the need for pandemic preparedness as an example & some ATL articles on this site. Plus that articles written to counter what was published ATL re no flu in 2020 were denied publication. There were a lot of comments BTL regarding supporting the official limited hangout agenda.

“The left’s war on correct grammer has betrayed the poor”
This excerpt is from the CEO of Coca-Cola,
talk about a grammatical word salad! this even has rocket and cold potato thrown in!
“We are keeping consumers at the centre of our innovation and marketing investments, while also leveraging our expertise in revenue growth management and execution.
“Our growth culture is leading to new approaches, more experimentation, and improved agility to drive growth and value for our stakeholders.”
And the translation of all that shyte is as follows:
Mr Quincey added: “There will be price increases across the world in 2023.
Well why didn’t you just say that?
I bet this guy could describe the inside of a ping pong ball using no less than a thousand words!
With pictures.
