Usually the Dutch don't really protest, and they keep calm for a long time. But when it happens, it's going to be of epic proportions. Last week we saw a massive farmer protest in the area of Stroe, with over 60.000 people showing up. But today we saw the Dutch farmers close down most of the country. Highways were blocked, and government buildings were filled up with straw.
Right now the government of The Netherlands is deciding if farmers can stay or if they have to be bought out or disowned. Following so called "carbon dioxide guidelines" the government claims that farmers are contributing to high levels of carbon dioxide. Of course we all know this is a huge lie, so it's not just the Dutch farmers rising up, the citizens are joining them. People are becoming aware of "The Great Reset" and the strategy to move food production away from western Europe into cheap land in Ukraine.
This Tuesday the government will decide the outcome, and if things go wrong for the farmers, we can expect a lot of new protests to happen in the upcoming weeks.

I hope that the kind and essential struggle of the farmers in the Netherlands will pay off! May the rest of Europe also be inspired, because we are lethargic
