“Do you think this is still a free country?”


No. And it hasn’t been for several years now. Actually, decades.

“ Our Founders would be shooting by now.
They would. We never will.”

A lot of stuff I was certain would never happen has already happened.

“ Sure it does, methane makes up 17/100,000ths of one percent of the atmosphere. Reductions in rice and cow farts is not going to change a damn thing. Junk science beyond the pale. ”

One of these knuckleheads needs to explain how 60 million pre-Columbia’s bison didn’t cause global warming but 30 million beef and dairy cattle do today

Holy crap. Someone like Kerry is certainly free to think such things. But to actually verbalize such things? OMG.

He and his ilk will be first up against the wall when the revolution comes. The USA ain't Holland dude.

It’ll be us that finishes it.

Agreed. I will not die as a slave on my knees.

With a few exceptions, such as Indian reserva, the Mississippi Delta "black belt", parts of rural New England, and some West Coast areas like the Redwood Country, rural America is deeply opposed to the green agenda. The Federal government does not have enough troops or Federal police to enforce land confiscation. Any attempts to do so will lead to hundreds of gun battles from northern Maine to the San Joaquin Valley in California. The Dutch farmers have no guns, nor did the Ukrainian peasants victimized by the Holodomor. Rural Americans are well armed and despite the urban elites and the urban trash underclass.

Any attempt to seize farm or ranch land will make America another South Vietnam or Afghanistan, where the Americans and their allies control the cities but the rebels hold the countryside. Going from, say, Washington to Chicago will require armed convoys with air support.

If the Deep State goes the land seizure route, it may succeed in the most liberal states, where state police and agents can supplement the Feds. The other option is the use of foreign military forces.

Unlike in Canada and Denmark, I believe that there WILL be lots of shooting if they try this - and I would venture to say that not all of it will be on or near farms.

“His family name is NOT Kerry no— he’s an E. European “jew” whose family changed their name to an “irish” one. Couldn’t take the obvious Cohan, no.. take a place name from ireland.”
——————
He was never a Jew, neither by birth or practice. His father’s line was, until a decade and a half before his father was born; the father was raised Catholic, and his mother comes from the non-Jewish (and opium-trading) Forbes family.

I despise Kerry more than most Leftist politicians (and that’s saying something), and even more after this article, but your hang-up with his tenuous connection to Judaism says way more about you than him.

" I believe that there WILL be lots of shooting if they try this"

I'm not sure. They are using divide-and-conquer tactics. And even if it did lead to what would be much-deserved "kinetic repercussions", I'm not sure it would be enough to make a difference.

“John Kerry claimed that US farm confiscations are not off the table...”

Like Leonidas said in “300,” “You are responsible for the words that come out of your mouth.”

From the article you linked to, “Farming uses nitrogen, and nitrogen is being blamed for global warming”

Nitrogen makes up over 78% of the atmosphere, while Carbon Dioxide makes up just 00.04% of the atmosphere. So yes, one might assume that nitrogen which is approximately 20,000 times more prevalent in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide likely does contribute far more to “global warming”. Of course, of the gasses that are considered to be “green house gasses” water vapor is by far the most prevalent. Depending on the humidity and temperature it can make up to 1000 times more of the atmosphere than Carbon Dioxide and actually has a much greater effect on temperatures.

At night, the only time “greenhouse gases” actually have much of an effect on temperatures, almost everyone realizes that a thick layer of clouds often keeps temperatures up.

Disagree. Everyone is watching what they did to J6’ers. That is the knife at the neck of anyone who dares protest.

I feel I have to respond to this CRAP.

If you are a believer,you know GOD created a masterpiece of a world. What the hell are people like Kerry and Klaus Shwab trying to do to IMPROVE IT.

WHAT A RIDICULOUS ASSUMPTION TO THINK THEY COULD IMPROVE THE UNIVERSE.

LEAVE IT ALONE...WE DON’T NEED MORONS TO PRETEND THEY KNOW BETTER THAN GOD. FOR GOD’S SAKE.

Some interesting comments about the coming food shortages and contaminations.

All planned by Satan’s followers in the Govenment.

What an incredibly Un-American thing for Kerry to say.

Nope, that wasn’t even close to everyone.

It was precisely what they wanted though, a group small enough and well mannered enough to easily squish.
