OPINION:
Thousands of farmers in the Netherlands are facing a government mandate to close their farms or, come next year, lose their farms — why? This is the latest globalist takeover of individual rights using environmentalism as the reason. Communist Great Reset types have labeled these farmers “peak polluters.”
And take note, America. What’s happening there is certain to happen here.
Leading Great Reset voice Bill Gates is busily buying farmland in America for a reason. Leading Communist country China controls nearly 200,000 acres of U.S. farmland for a purpose. Do you think it’s to raise cattle for meat and dairy production?
“I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef,” Gates said in 2021, MIT Technology Review reported. “You can get used to the taste difference and the claim is they’re going to make it taste even better over time.”
He went on, in typical arrogant Gates fashion, to say, “Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the [behaviors of] people, or use regulation to totally shift the demand.”
His stated reason for the shift from meat to manufactured meat? It’d be better for the environment. It’d be best for carbon emission levels. That, even as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports methane from beef cattle only amounts to 2% of America’s greenhouse gas emissions, according to Karen Williams, natural resources policy director with the Idaho Cattle Association, who cited the EPA figures in a letter of angry rebuttal to Gates’ call for more fake meat.
It’s not about the environment.
It’s about control and power.
It’s about drumming up fears about the state of the earth so as to allow bureaucrats and globalists, like Gates, the opportunity to exploit the situation and seize control and power.
That’s the Great Reset vision, in a nutshell.
The coronavirus proved the testing ground — and breeding ground — of fear over common sense; of fear as a tool of control; or fear as a force. The Great Reset players now want to take the wins from that virus-tied fear and segue into long-lusted-for environmental regulations that would give the elites in global organizations the means of enslaving the masses.
“The COVID-19 crisis has shown us that our old systems are not fit any more for the 21st century,” World Economic Forum executive chairman Klaus Schwab said in June 2020. “In short, we need a great reset.”
It’s go time for that.
Or, as then-Prince Charles — who helped Schwab found the World Economic Forum — put it, during this same June 2020, discussion: It’s “golden opportunity” time.
Farmers — food — food supplies — food security — are the next targets of Great Reset attack.
From The Guardian, in November: “The Dutch government is offering to buy out up to 3,000 ‘peak polluter’ farms and major industrial polluters in an attempt to reduce ammonia and nitrogen oxide emissions that are illegal under EU law. The nitrogen minister … said farmers would be offered more than 100% of the value of their farms to quit. For the first time, the government has said that forced buyouts will follow next year if the voluntary measures fail.”
It’s interesting how quickly a voluntary action can move into a government mandate if not enough volunteer. That’s how it went under the coronavirus years, as well. Or, more to truth, that’s how governments learned to use the coronavirus to exert bureaucratic will and suppress individual liberties during the coronavirus years, as well.
America is not immune.
“China owns and controls almost 192,000 acres of farmland right here in the United States,” Rep. Ralph Norman wrote in August.
“Bill Gates … has quietly amassed nearly 270,000 acres of farmland across the country,” The Associated Press reported in May.
Farmland Riches said in a June article that Gates was the top farmland owner in America. Like-minded leftist Ted Turner, meanwhile, held the second to top spot.
Then there’s this: “Why Is George Soros Selling His Gold And Buying Farmland?” Beef Magazine asked in December.
Good question.
Why are leftists and globalists so interested in buying up farmland, stopping farmers from farming, forcing citizens to eat what they don’t want to eat? Like bugs and insects and manufactured meat and such?
The answer is simple and to be found in their own words. It’s to change humanity and bend human behavior to the will of the few.
They tasted the power of the pandemic. But nothing will cause panic and hysteria and violence like a fabricated food shortage. That’s when these leftists will swoop in with so-called solutions to calm the chaos.
And the solution will be: Do as they say. Do not argue. Do not resist.
