Thanks for covering this. Leave it to the government to make the cure worse than the disease. Also see The War on Drugs, Pandemic Lockdowns, and more.

There are tools for people to fight back using forced transparency, technology and decentralization. More on that here

Personally I think things will have to get a lot worse before the normies get the fact something is dreadfully wrong. But then there will always be the 30% that blame the unvaccinated and go back to sleep.

Around my parts it's way more than 30% but I think it's getting better...? I see more Canadian flags and "fringe minority" stickers on cars (inc mine!)

Leave it to the Dutch; they are a tough, common sense people. I've worked for them. And I believe them when they say they will never give up. Here in Canada, where the Truckers are still 'bad people', we welcome the Dutch farmers; they stand with us and against tyranny of the Davos crowd. This is just the beginning of a long war that we, the people, will win.

Well said, fellow optimist.

The tide is turning.

The citizenry is becoming aware.

The climate crisis is fabricated.

The pandemic was war-gamed several years ago.

The ostensible 'solution' serves the paymasters from Big Pharma while providing questionable protection from the lab-generated virus, and even harming healthy individuals.

This is not about saving the global climate. It is not about improving public health.

It is about control.

Wake up.

Drain the Swamp.

Please explain to me, what is the "Swamp" that I frequently hear about? Thanks. I am inclined to think that this "climate problem" is a natural phenomenon that is neither Good or bad, and some in power are using it excessively as an excuse to further their agenda.

Thomas Jefferson imagined a country of yeoman farmers....

99% of Americans lived and worked on farms in the 1800s. By 1900, if I remember right, that was cut 33% percent, and has declined ever since.

We should have more regenerative farmers as opposed to big agriculture. Regenerative farming may even be a carbon sink - but what is definitely known is that it is better for the environment and better for the soil.

But instead they want to solve all the problems with a new Green Movement, top-down technocratic tyranny - except unlike the first Green Movement, its goal is not to feed more people.

This is an eloquent argument for buying a chest freezer or two (while we still can) and connecting with local farmers. These are dangerous and erratic people.

Yes.

I offer my defensive farm-border security services for food and lodging from a farmer in need/supply of such.

True. But then what happens to Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc.? What happens to digital currency? What happens to vax passports? I don’t understand how shutting down the grid would serve the tech elite.

Why are farm emissions being targeted instead of industrial emissions? Farms were around before the industrial revolution and didn’t contribute to climate change. Factory farming is awful. Why subsidize reducing all farm numbers instead of subsidizing transitioning all farms to sustainable practices?

Expand full comment

Yes, to the point. Industrial emissions destroy the environment too, for sure, and likely worse than conventional farming ever did. The answer must be, those making and seeking further profit own the "industries."

I think we rather urgently need to remind our children--regardless of their ages--that human nature doesn't improve upon itself.

And anything that looks like a brilliant new invention is just improving stuff we invented in the beginning, and just refine a little. Think about everything that still runs on those little round thingies with a hole in the middle for an axle, or a screw. We can make 'em bigger, or stronger and more durable, but since that first burst of genius with the wheel, we're just really tinkering.

Anything that happened before can happen again, just more horribly, because we've got even more malign toys to support and enhance the cruelty.

As a born and raised city girl who grew up in apts. and never had a freestanding house, I always felt a little uneasy that there wasn't any basement or cellar to hide in, in case of necessity, and maybe with an escape tunnel connected. Feel like I wasn't ever wrong about that, really...

Yes, always block the road to Utopia, because it only ends with a cliff.

Excellent writing, as usual, SC, but I must disagree with this:

"And anything that looks like a brilliant new invention is just improving stuff we invented in the beginning, and just refine a little."

There is new science/technology all the time.

I think if we examine any of it very, very carefully, we're likely to find it's just an enhancement of the original.

Imagine how suprised I was to discover that computer languages are just a faster "how to weave jacquard fabric" innovation.

I imagine the slower version is more satisfying.

I will confess privately to you and ask you not to share, that if anyone had predicted I'd refer to a certain instrument of technology as "my darling little laptop," I'd have accused them of slander against me and my principles.

And yet here we are.

Ha!

As usual, I can't argue with you for long.

Expand full comment

It ain't arguing, it's discoursing. And lots of fun.

Expand full comment

It always is.

Actually, I think we are talking cross-purposes. You are referring to universal (timeless) truths. You know, the things the *new* things must not violate, at the least.

Expand full comment

No, I'm talking about practical things too. Once written language was invented, everything used to render it tangible is just a fancier pottery shard and pointy stick.

And most of technology now is used for evil.

I’d enjoy going back to a flip phone and zero 4, 5 G.

Expand full comment

*All* technology can/will-be used for evil.

There is nothing that can ever change that.

Still, on balance, the advance of knowledge (and therfore technology) is, by far, a net benefit for mankind, imo.

Expand full comment

I understand where you’re coming from.

I much prefer people talking to each other at dinner, children playing outside, books in hand, on and on.

IMO.

Technology isn’t advancing humanity as well as it could.

The harm it is causing to the environment alone is beyond a cow fart.

There is so much evil going on with it CERN being turned back on…

I’d gladly go back to 1990’s

I forgot to cite this:

"Technology isn’t advancing humanity as well as it could."

That would be 100% efficiency.

The people fomenting all of this are absolutely diabolical. They NEVER stop! It is a daily assault on all of us (useless eaters, masses of the great unwashed, deplorables). Every time I think things are turning (the resignation of 2 high ranking assholes in the UK) & the rats are trying to jump ship before SHTF, there is more bad news. It’s like whack-a-mole

Glad there are still people with the guts to say NO. I think it was on I Allegedly (YT) today where he said someone from the Netherlands had explained in an email that the forced reduction in nitrogen or whatever else was based on a faulty BS report and the farmers were also being forced to sell their land to make more housing for the increasing number of immigrants still being brought into the Netherlands. I don't know if this is true or not, but I am always glad to see resistance to the bullying of the NWO tools (I mean governments).

Sounds right.

It’s called replacing citizens with people who will be easily submissive.

Looks like the Dutch are fed up. Between the fishermen and the farmers, they are kicking ass!!! Take note all you Americans, Canadians, Germans, English and etc. This is how it's done. Will be linking today as usual @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/

So, will Justin Trudeau step in to help the Dutch seize bank accounts and assets in order to shut down the protestors?

It would be nice if these protests led to changes in policy, but the globalists let these kerfuffles roll off their backs. This is all planned, and there doesn't seem to be much we can do to stop it.

"And what causes food price inflation other than too much printed money chasing the same goods? Too much printed money chasing fewer goods."

Beautiful! Just a Beautiful Q & A.

As has been true since the days of Nixon/Carter/Reagan, it's the supply side, stupid.

One follows another like falling dominoes: Liberate the supply side of the economy, liberate the individual to prosper, reduce the size/power of the State.
