Today, on July 7, the Dutch government, the cabinet of Malthusian Mark Rutte, has collapsed. One less government run by Klaus Schwab(stika) of the World Economic Forum! The inability to deal with the effects of draconian measures promoted by Brussels, together with heated arguments about asylum policies, have shredded ties between the four coalition partners, the VVD, D66, CDA and CU. On Friday, June 30, the last attempt to reach an agreement failed. New elections loom for the fall. That’s good news for the farmer: his or her expropriation is on hold; draconian persecution for “too many emissions of CO2 or nitrogen compounds” is also on hold. Preparation for new elections in the fall will provide an enormous educational/organizing opportunity for people of good will, and good sense.
The media are playing up the asylum problem as the cause for the trainwreck (floods of refugees caused by neo-con wrecking of former colonial countries). This is a special sore point, because the policy is dictated as law by the EU in Brussels.
The asylum issue is a serious problem, but that’s not what brought down the government. For a number of years, Brussels and The Hague, with their Malthusian, cruel acolyte, Prime Minister Mark Rutte, have been trying to “shrink” farmers and livestock by at least 25%-going-on-60%, using “climate” and “nature areas” as an excuse. Under these threatening conditions, one farmer in the Netherlands commits suicide every 12 days. Meanwhile, the Farmers Defence Force (FDF) has resisted vigorously and with compassion; with tractorcades and educational posts on social media, as well as taking under their protective wing the fishermen, whose life’s investment and family tradition is being destroyed by the piranhas of Davos. The FDF is also a platform for the victims of Rutte/EU cruelty, such as the “children’s allowance scandal,” where 35,000 families were terrorized, accused of fraud by a government algorithm, which caused fear, panic and a number of suicides.
On March 11 of this year, the Farmers Defence Force held a huge rally in The Hague (estimated at 10-20,000), where a Schiller Institute Farm Representative brought greetings, as did others from Canada. Four days later, there was a regional election, and the members of the government coalition lost their shirts. A brand-new party, Boeren-Burger-Beweging (Farmer-Citizen-Movement) gained potentially make-it-or-break-it power in the next government.
