150,000 Dutch protest in Amsterdam (WuFlu)

Yesterday 150,000 people took to the streets of Amsterdam to protest the government’s proposed policy of requiring vaccination as a condition to entry for businesses such as bars and restaurants. This approach mirrors the hard line already taken in France which has seen widespread unrest as a consequence.

But if the media was your main source for information, then either the Amsterdam protest did not happen or the numbers were dramatically downplayed. A colleague who attended the protest said that when he got home he turned on the main news bulletin to see how the media would spin the events in which he had firsthand knowledge.

The protest didn’t even make the news.

Eventually there was some coverage on smaller Dutch sites, such as this one, but the numbers were hugely downplayed as already stated.

More than 20,000 people took part in Sunday’s demonstration against the government’s coronavirus rules, city officials say. The organisers had said they expected 50,000 people to take part in the protest.

I work with many emergency services personnel and my contacts said that the numbers were at least 150,000. The crowd apparently was well behaved and in good spirits but the numbers clearly show that ordinary Dutch people will broke no further tightening of the totalitarian rule-set under the guise of a supposed pandemic. The same day, 70,000 Dutch crowded into the country’s small race circuit for a memorable grand prix race, putting the face to the lie of the true state of affairs as regards pretend disease.

But the ordinary citizens who are protesting the loss of their rights are being portrayed in a controlled and consistent manner by the media.

The demonstrators ranged from people claiming the government is creating ‘medical apartheid’ by introducing coronavirus passes for events, to anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists, and extreme right-wing groups.

Focus on the use of ‘extreme right-wing groups’. That is now the preferred moniker for anyone who opposes such arbitrary impositions on their lives and persons. Other Dutch media did away with any mention of simple anti-vaxxers and labeled the entire crowd as right-wing extremists.

Forget the media. They're in on the fraud. You've got a cell phone with a built-in camera. Be a citizen journalist and post your own video online. Yes, it might be taken down. If it is, post it again. Rinse and repeat.

I am afraid that this is what it has to come to and it just might if they keep this crap up.

“Need blood on the street. Their government laughs at them just like ours.”

Sadly, we’re at that point. Government is doing what they want regardless.....our peaceful protests don’t do a thing.

We won 2016 and 2020 in increasingly larger landslides. 2020 was the largest number of votes in US history for the actual president, Donald Trump.

If they ignore that, a few hundred thousand walking down the street means nothing to them.

Well the “kill shot” has to be global.
The globalists need to decrease the population so they don’t use up all resources that the globalists need to survive.

I am trying to find a live stream to the 2 million Brazilians now rallying for freedom. It is as if it is not happening according to the corrupt media. The more, the better. Canada starting to get some courage too.

How much more "crap" is left? Seriously, we're just sitting by letting it happen. And the left isn't stupid enough to try and do a wholesale push to everyone. They'll single out individuals and small groups, and make an example of them. And most non-politician conservatives and patriots will wet their pants thinking it could happen to them. Sorry, but the left is not going backwards unless they are forced to do so.
