Pay attention to what’s happening to Dutch livestock farmers

The leftist government is using climate change to implement what amounts to slow-motion communism.

The beauty of climate change, if you’re a wannabe totalitarian, is that, because carbon is one of the building blocks of life, if you control carbon, you control everything. To understand how this works, you must pay attention to what is happening in the Netherlands, where the government is planning to seize 20% of livestock farms, all in the name of climate change.

Holland was once a bastion of liberty on a continent that was subject to total monarchal control and riven by religious wars. It wasn’t freedom as we have come to understand it in America but, after they threw off Spanish control, the Dutch allowed faiths other than Calvinism within their borders. There was a reason the Puritans fled there first, although they eventually wanted the complete freedom the New World offered them for practicing their particular Protestantism. That sturdy, self-sufficient, independent, sort-of-free little nation is gone.

Now, livestock farmers are up in arms because they’ve finally realized that their government is about to seize their land, all in pursuit of “nitrogen reduction.” We’ve heard about the protests, but Peter of Sweden is the first person I’ve seen who breaks down the numbers and explains what’s really happening (and it’s about power more than “climate change”):

According to calculations done by the Finance ministry, a whopping 11 200 livestock farmers will be forced to shut down by the government to reduce nitrogen emissions in order to meet European environmental rules. Another 17 600 farmers would need to reduce the amount of animals they keep to meet these climate goals.

In the USA we have billionaires buying up farmland and taking it out of production. The same leftists that want the world population reduced by 95%.

Revelation 6:1-8
King James Version

6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

I was just reading this.

Things sure are moving at breakneck speed towards fulfilling Bible prophecy, aren’t they?

[SaveFerris]

Revelation 1:3
King James Version

3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

Very rapidly.

And the godless reprobates are making it happen; fueled by the spirit of antichrist.

Nitrogen emissions? The air consists of 78% of nitrogen. It occurs naturally. As far as I know, NOTHING emits nitrogen.

Maybe they mean nitric oxide, or nitrous oxide. But neither one is nitrogen. Perhaps they don’t understand that a compound is composed of elements, but isn’t the elements.

Nitric oxide is sold in bottles at the local drugstore.
Nitrous oxide is laughing gas.

You thought that CO2 was the culprit? Naaaah! CO2 didn’t scare us enough, so they invented “nitrogen emission.”

Any chemists here who can shed light on this?

It’s staggering to think how fast things will move once God lifts the restraint on evil if things are this bad with the church still here.

Anyone who hasn’t made peace with their Maker yet, needs to do it asap.

Aside from the rapture, which I know some people dismiss, there is simply the fact that we don’t know when our time is up and with the increase in lawlessness, and the government doing everything it can to kill us off, our chances of living a long, peaceful life diminish by the day.

Who knows what the next bioweapon they unleash on us will be? Or what is going to happen to our food supply.

No

John 3:17-18
New King James Version

17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Ephesians 2:8-9
King James Version

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Most excellent synopsis of the here and now. Thank you!

(It’s staggering to think how fast things will move once God lifts the restraint on evil if things are this bad with the church still here.)

Once Satan’s anti-messiah confirms the 7-year deal for ‘Peace and Security’, I expect the Two Witnesses will immediately arrive and begin preaching to the Earth 🌎🌍 and string the Earth with judgements and withholding rain (IIRC).

No wonder the world’s Global Citizens celebrate their deaths as their bodies lie in a street in Jerusalem (Revelation chapter 11).

And then, 3-1/2 days later.......

Pretty soon, they'll be trotting out the dihydrogen monoxide scare.....

Dihydrogen monoxide: is called "hydroxyl acid", the substance is the major component of acid rain. contributes to the "greenhouse effect".
may cause severe burns.
is fatal if inhaled.
contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.


Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
as an industrial solvent and coolant.
in nuclear power plants.
in the production of Styrofoam.
as a fire retardant.
in many forms of cruel animal research.
in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

I’d wonder if we’re gonna have another market crash near Elul 29, what with them jacking up interest rates.

But this year it does not fall on a trading day; that happens on a Saturday evening.

If it’s Jerusalem time, here in the Midwest it’s still Saturday morning.

I say all that to say I’m personally not expecting good things with interest rates rising during all of this other chaos

[SaveFerris]

For those wondering, Elul 29 was the date of the stock market crash in 2001 and then exactly 7 years later, in 2008.

They are meaning “nitrates”.
The first number in fertilizer ratings, and a persistent chemical in ground water that will effect drinking water.

Nitrates can be used in bulk (industrila mfrg) to fertilize grain fields as it is (soy beans??) that strip nitrates from the soil.

Per your request, BSChem, 30 years in environmental regulatory compliance.

For the life of me, how do these totalitarian dictators get in a position to impose such a destructive, nihilist agenda? It’s an approach that only the devil would celebrate - the ceaseless destruction of God’s creation. If there ever was proof of the devil’s handiwork, it clearly is on display in the Netherlands. Of course, the devil is having a heyday everywhere on planet earth at the present time. Australia and Ukraine come to mind. I see a direct correlation between the present self-destructive devolution of humanity and humanity turning away from God and His Son’s saving grace. Now, arrogant men think they’re God. It’s no wonder the world has beome a living hell.

The Netherlands is host of the Global Co-ordination Secretariat (“GCS”) for the worldwide network of Food Innovation Hubs. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said on 26 January "It was great to have support for the initiative by Foodvalley members Mengniu Dairy, DSM and Unilever this week at the online WEF Davos panel session on the transformation of food systems". [26]

Food Valley - https://www.foodvalley.nl/our-focus/dutch-protein-farmer/

Protein Farmers - hint, they're not livestock farmers. They mean Plant Based Protein. Of course most of us realize it's hard to get enough good protein without eating meat. Of course if you supplement with bug protein ...

All these green groups, WEF, Food Innovation Hubs, FoodValley etc talk of 'transforming the food systems'. It's all a transfer of wealth and control. Just like Alt-E - wind turbines and solar. Lots of tech stuff here - https://www.foodvalley.nl/about-us/our-partner-network/

Replace traditional fuels with their tech stuff. Replace traditional farming with their tech stuff. Replace traditional cash with their tech stuff. The end game is a global technocracy.

the ceaseless destruction of God’s creation

CRISPR Cas9 Gene-Editing. Gene Edited greens and lettuce grown in vertical farms are already being sold at Kroger, Walmart etc. They're working on gene-edited livestock. GM corn/soy is failing because every year, there are more RoundUp resistant weeds. Farmers are starting to get away from it because not only is the GM seed 3 times the price, now they have to mechanically cultivate again just like pre-GM corn/soy days.

Then you have Big Pharma playing with mRNA. These people think they can tweak and create and do a better job than God.

And yet, we have smug, self-assured people on this forum saying, “Collapse? What collapse? What, me worry?”
