We're All Sri Lankan Farmers Now
Corbett Report ^ | 7/24/22 | Corbett

Posted on 07/25/2022 5:49:10 AM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

Last week I wrote about how "We're All Dutch Farmers Now." As you'll recall from that editorial, there is a battle taking place right now between farmers in the Netherlands and the technocrats in their government who are seeking to put them out of work and close up their farms in the name of the globalists' grand 2030 Agenda. And, as you'll also recall, I warned that no matter where you are on the globe or what your position in society is, this Great Reset nightmare will be coming for you and your livelihood next.

Recent events in various countries have only served to underline that point in spades.

Take Ireland, for example. The Irish Times reports that, in order for the country to "meet the Paris Agreement goals on a globally equitable basis," Irish farmers will have to make drastic cuts to their greenhouse emissions, including a "cut of more than 40 per cent in methane by 2030." Exactly as in the Netherlands, these types of drastic and arbitrary cuts would be a disaster for the average Irish farmer and could drive many of their small farms out of business. Despite the best efforts of Ireland's establishment news media—like the aforementioned Irish Times or online outlets like Buzz.ie—to browbeat the Irish public into turning against the farmers, a growing protest movement in the country points to the possibility that Ireland will be yet another front in the Global War for Independence that I wrote about last week.

Or take Sri Lanka. As you have no doubt seen in the establishment news media, Sri Lanka has descended into chaos in recent weeks, with its economy completely collapsing and its president fleeing the country amid fiery protests.

President Trump was SO RIGHT to get us out of the horrible and devastating “Paris Accords.”

In the United States they’re not going to pass those kind of laws but Bill Gates will buy up all the farmland and make sure that millions of people starve.

They already made it near to cost prohibitive to farm this year and make a profit.

Might not help. When people are starving in third world countries, biden will just send them our food, just like he’s giving away our strategic oil reserve.

You’re part of the global community now don’tchya know.

What’s increasing the costs to farmers other than fertilizer prices?

Well, California just decided to charge private land owners for the water coming out of their private wells.

Both ‘ permit” and by volume pumped, and fines for non compliance.

““What’s increasing the costs to farmers other than fertilizer prices?””

There’s a literal food chain:

We need food more than just about anything else. Food needs fertilizer and other Ag chemicals and fuel. All of that needs crude oil and refineries.

The world population is drunk on transportation fuel.
