Tens of Thousands of Dutch Farmers Protest in The Hague: “Resist Much, Obey Little!”

Activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek hitched a ride to The Hague Saturday

 

Tens of thousands of Dutch citizens came out to protest the WEF-inspired campaign against Dutch farmers on Saturday in The Hague, under the motto “Vote Them Out”. Local elections will be held on Wednesday, as the upstart Farmer’s Party BBB looks poised to trounce the ruling party of RINO Prime Minister Mark Rutte.

The Dutch government has made itself the headquarters of the disastrous World Economic Forum Food Innovations Hub and wants to ban the use of nitrogen in fertilizer, bankrupting thousands of Dutch farmers and expropriating their land, in some cases even using that land to house illegal migrants instead.

The Dutch farmers are some of the best farmers in the world. The tiny country of the Netherlands has become the world’s second-largest agricultural exporter just behind the United States. The Netherlands are smaller than the state of West Virginia.

Dutch police and military blocked farmers from driving their tractors to the freedom protest in The Hague, and made multiple arrests. https://t.co/sd6NjSa1QM

The protest was organized by Dutch Farmers Defense Force and Together for Netherlands, who wanted 5000 tractors to converge on the capital of The Hague in a show of solidarity. Four days before the protest, the mayor of the Hague Jan Van Zanen limited the number to two tractors and threatened to call in the Army against his own people. Nonetheless Saturday’s protest was a peaceful, joyous, family-friendly affair. The Dutch and international media completey ignored it or smeared the citizens as “far-right”, proving once again they are “the enemy of the people” (Donald Trump).

🇳🇱Our farmers are fighting against the worst kind of injustice: a government that has turned on its own people.

The government created a lie to rob our farmers of their land. But we won’t let it happen. Our #DutchFarmers are an example to the world.

In her rousing speech, Dutch activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek said:

“Our country was born out of resistance against tyranny, against Spanish tyranny. Now, almost five centuries later, we are again  fighting against tyranny, against a corrupt and unjust government that excludes dissidents and drives our farmers from their land. Back then, this injustice came from Madrid. Now, it comes from right here, (the Dutch capital) The Hague. And that is the worst kind of injustice. Our government has launched an attack on our own people, on one of  the hardest-working, most successful and inspiring groups or all, the farmers and citizens of the Netherlands!

For centuries, our farmers have supplied food for millions of people worldwide. And unlike what the liars in the capital are claiming, they do so in a sustainable and responsible manner, with great respect for God’s creation. But of course, that’s not what our government is worried about. Our government doesn’t care about nature, about the people, or the farmers. Our government has created a lie to drive the farmers from their land. Everything you farmers own, everything you worked so hard for your entire lives, they think they can just take it away from you. You want to know what I call them? I call them common thieves! And let me tell you: We do not negotiate with thieves. We do not  negotiate with people who abuse our farmers and drive them to despair, who are waging a war against our farmers.

What a day. From riding along with a group of farmers on a tractor to the protest this morning, to giving my speech and getting to meet so many wonderful people; I really feel like all is not lost. Cheers to the #dutchfarmers! Resist much, obey little. @farmersdefence pic.twitter.com/Vf9DO17NkN

Unfortunately, it is not just our government, but also the so-called opposition, that claim to be fighting for the farmers, but aren’t here today to stand with them. They should be ashamed of themselves. Because if now is not the time to fight back, when is?

“The destruction of our nation and our democracy must stop. You, the Dutch Farmers, are the only ones with enough courage and manpower to put up a real fight against our terrible government. You are our last hope, the last hope for our beautiful country. And that’s exactly the reason they want you gone. But we will fight them. And they will fight us. They will stop at nothing. And, of course, their lackeys in the mainstream media will do everything they can to demonize our farmers, and all of us. But we know better. That’s why we stand firmly behind our farmers. Because we know when they’re done with them, we’re next. And that’s why we will not let this happen. We say no to globalism, no to the sell-out of our country, and we say no to this government. Long live the Dutch Farmers!”

Even Elon Musk chimed in, asking Vlaardingerbroek “What rules do you want the government to change?”:

The voice of the People systematically gets ignored. With regard to the nitrogen ‘crisis’: it only exists on paper. It’s a political decision, based on faulty models, that reveals our government’s true agenda: to take our farmers’ land and crack down on our constitutional rights.

Dutch opposition leader Geert Wilders echoed his famous campaign provocation “Do you want more Moroccans, or less?” by asking “Do you want more of (Prime Minister Mark) Rutte and (Finance Minister Sigrid) Kaag or less?”, prompting roars of laughter from the crowd.

Speaking to Callum Smiles of Canada’s Rebel News, Wilders said that “The real aim is to get rid of our farmers for some leftist Nitrogen agenda to make room for more non-Western immigrants and build houses for them.”

‘There would be no Netherlands without our farmers, without our fishermen”, Wilders said. “They are who we are. They are in our genes. They are in our history. Holland is built on the farmers and fishermen, and everybody has a lot of sympathy for them. Now we get a left-liberal coalition, supported by the extreme left that say we really don’t care about our identity, our culture our farmers. We find this nitrogen problem more important. Nitrogen is not a real problem. It’s an invented problem. It’s totally unfair to these families and farmers that have has farms for generations… so It’s no only sympathy for the farmers and the fishermen, the Dutch people sense that they are getting to the core of our identity. Those parties that hate our identity, that despise patriotism and the nation-state, they don’t care. You see today, these are a lot of people for the Netherlands. People are fed up, and I hope Wednesday they will make sure the government will have to step down and we can have new elections.”

Forum for Democracy leader Thierry Baudet displayed a bag of mealworms, saying “This is the food they want us to eat in the future.”

Pouring out the dried mealworms, Baudet exclaimed “No Way!”

“No way will we accept that our food production, our farmers, and our life in Netherlands with our beautiful countryside, we be taken away from us. No way! I stand here, not only with the farmers, but also with the nurses who lost their job because she didn’t want an injection. With the teachers who have to impose transgender propaganda on our children, and the young people who can’t find a house because of ongoing mass immigration. The families who can’t pay their energy bills any more because of stupid climate plans . The old people whose pensions are endangered by the Euro. All of Netherlands stands here. And all of Netherlands is rising up because they have seen that everything the media are telling us is based on lies. The Nitrogen restrictions are a lie… It’s complete nonsense that CO2 is dangerous for nature, and it was complete nonsense that Covid was a terrible danger, too. We are being lied to!”

 

The Dutch political landscape is due for an upset going into the provincial elections Wednesday, March 15, with the upstart Farmer’s Movement of journalist and ex-Christan Democrat Caroline van der Plas polling at 14% nationally out of nowhere, ahead of RINO Mark Rutte’s ruling People’s Party at 11%.

Wilders’ Freedom Party is currently polling at 9%. Thierry Baudet’s Forum for Democracy falls from 14.5% 2019 to only 3% after a number of scandals, which prompted Eva Vlaardingerbroek’s departure from FvD.

The new JA21 split-off from Forum for Democracy is polling at 6%.

The provincial chamber will elect the new Senate May 30, which can veto legislation and potentially gridlock the Rutte government.

Dutch farmers protesting their government’s authoritarian policies told us they were inspired by Canadian truckers — and many flew Canadian flags as a sign of solidarity. https://t.co/1AENqDF70o

Biden to Speak on Banking Crisis Early Monday Morning at 8 A.M. EDT

Joe Biden will give remarks on the banking crisis at 8 a.m. EDT Monday from the Roosevelt Room at the White House in an effort to calm U.S. markets before the open.

The announcement by the White House came late Sunday night, several hours after a statement by Biden on the announcement of a backstop for depositors at two closed banks (California’s Silicon Valley Bank and New York’s Signature Bank) was announced. In the statement Biden had said he would speak Monday about the arrangement.

“The President delivers remarks on maintaining a resilient banking system and protecting our historic economic recovery”

Biden’s statement released by the White House Sunday evening:

Statement from President Joe Biden on Actions to Strengthen Confidence in the Banking System

Over the weekend, and at my direction, the Treasury Secretary and my National Economic Council Director worked diligently with the banking regulators to address problems at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. I am pleased that they reached a prompt solution that protects American workers and small businesses, and keeps our financial system safe. The solution also ensures that taxpayer dollars are not put at risk.

The American people and American businesses can have confidence that their bank deposits will be there when they need them.

I am firmly committed to holding those responsible for this mess fully accountable and to continuing our efforts to strengthen oversight and regulation of larger banks so that we are not in this position again.

Tomorrow morning, I will deliver remarks on how we will maintain a resilient banking system to protect our historic economic recovery.

A version of the statement was also posted to Twitter:

I’m pleased they reached a solution that protects workers, small businesses, taxpayers, and our financial system. https://t.co/CxcdvLVP6l

I’ll have more to say on this tomorrow morning.

— President Biden (@POTUS) March 13, 2023

Not to be left out, Kamala Harris or her staff leaked to a friendly L.A. Times reporter that she helped too.

“Scooplet: Throughout the weekend, @VP has been closely monitoring the situation w/Silicon Valley Bank. She’s in contact w/Treasury, administration leadership, Silicon Valley executives & California congressional leadership…the focus of those talks is depositors with uninsured balances (many of whom are small businesses trying to run payroll).”

the focus of those talks is depositors with uninsured balances (many of whom are small businesses trying to run payroll).

California Governor Gavin Newsom made no mention of Harris in his statement praising the Biden administration released Sunday evening:

Governor Newsom Issues Statement on Biden Administration’s Action on Silicon Valley Bank
Published: Mar 12, 2023

SACRAMENTO — Governor Gavin Newsom today issued the following statement in response to the Biden Administration’s announcement enabling the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to complete its resolution of Silicon Valley Bank in a manner that fully protects all depositors.

“The Biden Administration has acted swiftly and decisively to protect the American economy and strengthen public confidence in our banking system. Their actions this weekend have calmed nerves, and had profoundly positive impacts on California — on our small businesses that can now make payroll, workers who will get their paychecks, on affordable housing projects that can continue construction, and on non-profits that can keep their doors open tomorrow. California is a pillar of the American economy, and federal leaders did the right thing, ensuring our innovation economy can continue to grow and move forward.”

Earlier Sunday, Axios warned, “Biden on brink of banking crisis” (excerpt)

President Biden is in danger of a catastrophic banking crisis, unless the U.S. government can orchestrate a deal to rescue Silicon Valley Bank depositors before branches open tomorrow.

Why it matters: Bank runs kill banks, no matter how good or bad their risk management. (For a quick primer, see the famous financial-crisis documentary Mary Poppins.)

How it works: Banks don’t keep deposits in a vault — they lend them out to businesses and individuals. So if depositors ask for all their money back at once, as they did at SVB, the bank is likely to fail.

Corporate America just got a stark reminder that none of their deposits are insured above $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

If SVB’s depositors aren’t made whole by Monday morning, hundreds of billions of dollars of corporate deposits are likely to flow out of regional banks. Most would flow into a handful of so-called systemically important banks — if they’re too big to fail, they won’t fail. Some might go into other ultra-safe havens like Treasury bills.

State of play: Every non-enormous bank in America is left to worry about whether it’s going to be able to hold onto its corporate customers.

One Biden gaffe could cost billions in stock market jitters Monday morning. Futures are up overnight as of this writing.
