Dutch farmers are in open struggle against a 
cartel of multinational corporations, 
Davos-aligned parties and NGOs seeking control 
over the global food supply. They are sweeping 
the culture from the land, a farmer laments.

HEERENVEEN, NETHERLANDS  The Netherlands is a 
patchwork of quaint towns and cities interwoven 
with flat expanses of immaculately-kept green 
agricultural pasture. The road and rail 
infrastructure are near-flawless. You could 
search for weeks without finding a pothole. It is 
one of the most expensive countries in the world, 
and makes some of the best steak, cheese, yogurt 
and milk on the planet. The land is fertile, 
valuable, and strategically located with easy 
access to the north Atlantic coast. So, for these 
reasons and more, legions of committees composed 
of unelected, largely unknown figures serving on 
the boards of an interwoven network of even 
lesser known private and multilateral bodies, 
insists on seizing it all, on account of saving 
the planet from its deadliest enemy: man himself. 
Their target: the Dutch farmer. They are slowly 
killing us with regulation, one farmer told The 
Grayzone. It is death by a thousand paper-cuts, 
or The Art of War by the modern technocrat.

Emacs!

First, some background: Holland exports the most 
food on earth, behind only America, on a landmass 
roughly the size of Indiana. Farmers the world 
over come to study Dutch techniques. The country 
embraces whats known as the Mansholt theorya 
philosophy of ensuring food security and 
self-sufficiency that emerged from the second 
world war as a response to Nazi-imposed famine. 
To stave-off a similar tragedy, Dutch agriculture 
embraces the 
<https://www.britannica.com/technology/Haber-Bosch-process>Haber-Bosch 
process, a method of infusing fertilizer with 
nitrogen to increase yield efficiency. Invented 
in the early 1900s by a pair of Nobel 
Prize-winning chemists, Haber-Bosch is 
<https://www.nature.com/articles/22672>responsible 
for the existence of half the worlds population 
today (and is known in 
<https://www.britannica.com/biography/Thomas-Malthus>Malthusian 
circles as 
<https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1999Natur.400..415S/abstract>the 
detonator of the population explosion), thanks 
to its ability to grow more food on less land.

But now global bodies like the World Banks 
<https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/climate-smart-agriculture>Climate 
Smart Agriculture program, the UNs 
<https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2021/06/14/world-bank-report-investing-in-protected-areas-reaps-big-rewards>protected 
area initiatives, the European Commission and 
armies of well-funded NGOs are executing a 
wholly-comprehensive platform targeting Dutch 
farmers  restricting both organic and artificial 
fertilizer use  while asserting biodiversity 
protection as the pretext for snatching land from the productive.

Dutch farmers, 
<https://thegrayzone.com/2022/08/19/farms-food-dutch-farmers-protests-elite/>in 
protest, have driven tractors to the Hague, 
tossed flaming trash onto the roads and sprayed 
manure across government buildings.

Its worth reemphasizing that the Dutch 
government is carrying out the same 
<https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/fertiliser-ban-decimates-sri-lankan-crops-government-popularity-ebbs-2022-03-03/>radical 
experiment conducted in Sri Lanka earlier this 
year  
<https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/03/05/sri-lanka-organic-farming-crisis/>eliminating 
nitrogen-based fertilizer, the basis of modern 
survival. In the southeast Asian country, it led 
to a 
<https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/fertiliser-ban-decimates-sri-lankan-crops-government-popularity-ebbs-2022-03-03/>famine 
that toppled the government. The Sri Lankan 
<https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/07/world/asia/sri-lanka-organic-farming-fertilizer.html>disaster 
fronted a simple premise: replace something with 
nothing. And to eliminate Russian gas from the 
geopolitical scene. The 
<https://www.inms.international/colombo-declaration/colombo-declaration#:~:text=The%252024th%2520October%2520was,goal%2520for%2520improved%2520nitrogen%2520management.>Colombo 
declaration, signed in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in 
2019, celebrated the end of food security and 
sovereignty, offering in its place a model for 
import-dependency and agricultural destruction now being imposed on the Dutch.

They are sweeping the culture from the land, 
says Sieta Van Keimpema, a sturdy 6-foot 
Dutchwoman in her 50s with short, wavy black 
hair. She is head of the European Milk Board, and 
leader of the Dutch farmers de-facto political 
arm, <https://farmersdefenceforce.nl/>Farmers Defense Force (FDF).

Our government has made laws and laws that put 
us in a corner that you cannot come back from, 
she says. If people cannot put food on the table 
you get riots. You get an unstable society. I 
dont see the benefits to this. Her group, 
Farmers Defense Force, is characterized as 
vigilante populist heroes by some; and as 
troublemakers 
<https://nltimes.nl/2022/08/06/farmers-group-pledge-hardest-demonstrations-ever-environment-policy-meeting>responsible 
for sparking the protests by others. FDF 
originated after environmental activists, 
<https://meat-the-victims.org/en>Meat the 
Victims, forcefully occupied a pig farm in a 
small Dutch town in 2019. Instead of taking 
action, police sent in negotiators, prolonging 
the ordeal. FDF subsequently created a Bat 
Signal whereby farmers can call on a special 
WhatsApp group to rally others to come to the rescue.

When they arent producing food, members can be 
found battling Brussels or butting heads in the 
Hague. We have a government spending 25 billion 
euros to reduce agricultural production, Sieta 
says, confirming official policy. According to 
heavily-redacted 
<https://farmersdefenceforce.nl/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/20220429-1Flash-report-mtg-Cmr-SINKEVI%25C4%258CIUS-with-NL-Minister-of-Agriculture-H.-Staghouwer-17012022-1_Redacted.pdf>European 
Commission documents, the goal is terminating 
farms through overregulation, deploying mandatory buyouts if necessary.

Official justifications are not up for debate. 
Take some of the most insulting regulations, made 
in the name of 
<https://www.oecd.org/env/resources/financing-water-supply-sanitation-and-flood-protection-country-fact-sheet-the-netherlands.pdf>flood 
prevention, a puzzle the Dutch have 
<https://www.humanprogress.org/how-the-dutch-tamed-the-waters/#:~:text=Relentlessly%2520draining%2520lands%2520through%2520clever,have%2520overcome%2520their%2520oceanic%2520challenge.>solved 
since the countrys inception, erecting dykes, 
walls, levies and canals to build a civilization 
out of the oceans (as half of Holland lies below 
sea-level). In its green manifesto, the Dutch 
Environmental Assessment Agency preaches that 
more radical policies are needed, particularly 
for flood protection
The main emphasis is on the 
planet dimension
a Netherlands that is more 
sustainable and Future-Proof. Accordingly, some 
computer models predict with 80% certainty a 
sea-level rise of 20 meters within the next 
century, after having risen 2 cm across the last one.

A related justification is that nitrogen leakage 
caused by agriculture makes Dutch tap water 
undrinkable, and so farming must be eliminated. 
The reality is that Hollands tap water was 
awarded second best on the continent by the 
<https://www.wetapwater.com/european-water-awards-2020/results-top-10/>European 
Water Awards; behind Austria, in a debatable 
placement. Dutch drinking water is so crisp and 
clean, it almost makes Evian taste like toilet 
sludge. The real problem: Holland is 50% composed 
of mostly independently-owned agricultural 
operations, and they occupy prime real-estate.

The Dutch environmental report further seems to 
justify what many have been speculating: The 
inflow of foreign migrants [caused in no small 
part by U.S. wars] feeds the need for expansion, 
calling for the elimination of 300,000 hectares 
of farmland between now and 2040. This will be 
initiated by the conversion of agricultural land 
into nature conservation areas, without irony. 
Additionally, rich people need second homes, 
since it is assumed that families with a high 
income will opt to live in green areas. Dutch 
households display a marked preference for 
single-family homes with a garden. The Dutch 
concept of the ideal home will shift, possibly in 
the direction of gated communities, [and] more second home ownership.

To nobodys surprise, housing developers 
subsidized by the government and working with the 
Society for Preservation of Nature Monuments in 
the Netherlands, have already begun to 
<https://www.ad.nl/doetinchem/pal-naast-natura-2000-gebied-in-barchem-wil-natuurmonumenten-grote-huizen-bouwen~a2655cac/>erect 
houses in protected areas, on lands wrested from farmers.

In the Netherlands around 800,000 people work in 
agriculture. If you reduce half the sector 
theres not critical mass anymore to continue, 
Sieta explains. The big dairies need a certain 
amount of milk to have a viable cost price
I 
think we are the only country in the world that 
has a minister of nitrogenwho really doesnt 
know what shes talking about. She admitted I 
really dont know what Im saying. I say, go 
home, because what shes doing is destroying a whole sector.

Meanwhile, many farmers have reached consensus 
about the forces they believe to be behind the attack on their livelihoods.

Left-wing parties like 
<https://d66.nl/verkiezingsprogramma/election-manifesto-in-english/>Democrats 
66, which promises, well be working towards 
reducing the cattle population by half, are 
very close to 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-vHK3kO3wI>Klaus 
Schwab, Sieta says. They go to Davos and dont 
deny it. Its a fact that the WEF [World Economic 
Forum/Davos Group] is pushing legislation that 
isnt decided in a democratic way. If you comment 
on that, as I did in the meeting, the civil 
servants get really aggressive. The Netherlands 
is pushing legislation that has never been 
discussed in the parliament. Mention that the 
air is comprised of 85% nitrogen, and youre slammed as a climate denier.

The D for democracy has become dictation. They 
have no shame, Sieta says. The government has 
given an enormous subsidy to artificial meat; lab 
meat, and theyre calling it future food. But 
Im not going to eat insects. Im going to eat 
beef and chicken. The bottom line, according to 
Sieta: They produce hot air, we produce food on 
the table
They dont want innovation, they want buyouts.

Indeed, Hollands world-famous agricultural 
innovation hub, 
<https://www.wur.nl/en/research-results/research-institutes/plant-research/field-crops/agriculture-of-the-future.htm>Wageningen 
University, the Stanford /Silicon Valley of 
farming, has ceased developing techniques that 
help farmers. Instead theyre now focused on 
<https://www.wur.nl/en/dossiers/file/insects-food-and-feed.htm>producing 
bugs for human consumption. The World Economic 
Forum promote this agenda with ads featuring 
Hollywood stars like Nicole Kidman 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYhlxo6ezwE&t=27s>chomping 
down on a bowl of crickets, putting an 
Aussie-accented celebrity glow on a grim and deeply disturbing future.

The farmers have seen what is happening with the 
World Economic Forum, with Bill Gates, etc
thats 
why they are so active, Sieta adds. They know 
that what they are fighting is a very strong 
lobby of multinationals who really want to 
control food. After the war we decided we should 
never have hunger again, to produce as much food 
as possible and to use nitrogen and fertilizer to 
do it. But now they are pushing an 
<https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv:OJ.L_.2014.148.01.0088.01.ENG&toc=OJ:L:2014:148:TOC>agenda 
very similar to what Hitler wanted. If you 
control food then you control everything.

The Dutch government has teamed up with pools of 
private capital and NGOs linked to international 
institutions to mobilize over $25 billion to 
terminate Dutch farmers. One group in particular 
strikes fear into the heart of farmers: the 
relentless, racketeering eco-lobby, 
<https://mobilisation.nl/en/>MOBilization for the Environment, known as MOB.

We have MOB. When we go to court we lose because 
of legislation; the provinces will fight the MOB. 
MOB is fighting the provinces, Sieta says. It 
all started in may 2019 when the court decided 
our program for nitrogen was not good. They made 
us guinea pigs, like in Sri Lanka.

MOB has a 
<https://www.trouw.nl/duurzaamheid-economie/deze-man-maakte-van-de-stikstofcrisis-de-milieukwestie-van-het-jaar~b07ae7ba/?referrer=https://www.google.com/>superpower: 
to sniff-out any 
<https://nos.nl/artikel/2440593-natuurorganisaties-niet-van-plan-ruimte-te-geven-in-stikstofoverleg>leeway 
that a Dutch provincial government may be 
offering to a farmer to aid in his survival, and 
to 
<https://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&docid=207424&pageIndex=0&doclang=EN&mode=lst&dir=&occ=first&part=1&cid=408977>sue 
that government into imposing more rules, harsher 
restrictions, tighter regulations until his existence is terminated.

Mainline Dutch media called MOBs leader, Johan 
Vollenbroek, the most hated man in the 
Netherlands by some. And on the groups 
dominance over recent nitrogen negations:  MOB 
is of course not in charge; the cabinet will 
eventually have to make the decision. But MOB and 
a number of other nature organizations do have an 
important means of pressure: lawsuits. In recent 
years they have carried hundreds of them and very 
often the judges proved them right.

MOBs mandate runs from the petty  theyll sue 
to reject a single farms grazing application  
to the grandiose, setting new and major national 
legal precedents, like revamping the countrys 
entire nitrogen program in 2019. Governments fear 
them. Farmers cannot stop them. And this is how 
Vollenbroek supposedly spends his retirement. Of 
course he is likely an agent of those who wrote the treaties to begin with.

While Vollenbroek applauds the fact that five 
Dutch farms are destroyed each day, he also 
argues that more work is needed to be done. 
Vollenbroek receives death threats and lives most 
of the time in France, according to reports. 
Dutch royalty, the Order of Orange-Nassau, has 
even knighted Vollenbroek for his efforts against 
farming. He is not a lawyer. Nor an activist. He 
is a corporate chemical engineer and somehow a 
treaty expert who consults EU nations on how to 
override their own laws in obedience to a galaxy 
of global treaties written over three decades ago 
at the 1991 Rio Earth Summit. Every country has 
its own versions of such groups built-into the 
framework of the global system: inside-experts 
posing as environmentalists to enforce or extend 
vaguely-written treaties for the sake of 
opportunistic exploitation, fulfilling 
geopolitical goals and long-term plans. But in 
Holland, MOB has a track record for setting 
anti-farming precedents that stick.

As Vollenbroek stated, Once youve concluded a 
treaty, you cant just break it open and 
negotiate again
The livestock population simply 
has to be drastically reduced, a large number of 
farmers have to stop 
 There is no alternative.

MOB is responsible for revoking thousands of 
Dutch farming permits in court. According to part 
of MOBs lengthly mission statement/public 
<https://mobilisation.nl/index.php?id=10>manifesto, translated from Dutch:

I am ashamed to be Dutch. Time is running out, 
especially for the people of the rich countries, 
to open their eyes to a disturbing truth: we have 
colonized the future. The Netherlands has become 
a developing country in terms of environmental 
sustainability. The pariah of Europe.

It is on this basis that MOB has singled out 
farmers as the main source of the nations 
supposed environmental problems. They have been 
ringing this same alarm bell for thirty years 
now, ever since the group was founded in the 
early 1990s. And yet somehow, the Netherlands still stands.

Four Dutch farmers

Johan/Paula: Theyve left us with no room to move into the future

 From an environmental perspective, no country on 
earth could be less environmentally menacing than Holland.

Near the Dutch town of Emmen, along the German 
border, Johan and his wife Paula struggle to 
survive as 5th generation dairy farmers. Milk 
runs through my veins, Johan says, standing with 
his hands on his hips, smoking a hand-rolled 
cigarette out back behind his shabby house. Home 
is where the cows are. Yet Johans down-home 
wisdom and minimalistic way of life are being 
eradicated, as his wife, Paula, chimes in: They 
are slowly killing us with more rules and 
regulations. Theyve left us with no room to move into the future.

The family plan to flee to Ireland where they 
perceive climate regulation to be less stringent. 
Their children, enrolled in agricultural school, 
will not be able to inherit the family farm as 
intended. Under a new Dutch law, once you stop 
farming, you and your entire kin are forever 
banned from farming in the Netherlands again.

The family is not being offered a buyout because 
their land falls within a so-called protected 
area, making it illegal to milk cows or perform 
agricultural activity under the 
EU/<http://web.worldbank.org/archive/website00660/WEB/OTHER/GEFIUCNW.HTM>World 
Banks GEF (Global Environmental Facility) 
<https://www.government.nl/topics/nature-and-biodiversity/natura-2000>Natura 
2000 treaty. They are also forbidden from 
planting corn until late fall, when the crop is no longer viable.

There is a push pull dynamic that offers farmers 
some breathing room, provided they can pay for 
it. You can buy carbon and phosphate offset 
rights, giving the rich a chance to prosper in 
the new green economy. But every time they make 
an allowance, they take it back, Paula says, 
pointing to the Dutch governments recent 
encouragement of farmers to build specialized, 
$100,000 mechanical barn floors to separate fecal 
matter from urine (thus reducing ammonia).

The floor allowance held up briefly, with farmers 
taking out huge loans to build them. But soon 
enough, the litigious MOB came and argued it 
wasnt good enough, Johan says. They won the 
court battle. If you pay the MOB enough money 
they will back off. Thats why theyre called the mob, after all, he laughs.

The government has already snatched a parcel of 
his familys property due to its being within 30 
meters of a protected watershed. Soon its 
going to be 40 meters, then 400, Paula says. 
Eventually they will take everything.

Nelly: There have been many suicides. People get sick and ill and depressed.

In the Friesian town of Hoogeveen, resides Nelly, 
a 73-year-old champion horse-breeder and dairy 
farmer. She says she is tired of fighting both 
breast cancer and overregulation. Nelly receives 
regular control checks by bureaucrats visiting 
her farm up to five times a week, ensuring her 
withering operation abide by increasingly 
unrealistic standards. They check for 
everything. Ear tags, manure, cows, your yard. 
Now you need a permit to mow grass between 
stones, which is totally crazy since it has nothing to do with dairy farming.

Her farm requires an endless array of new permits 
just to function, and everything she does is 
tracked. The cows have the ear tags and the 
horses have a transponder under their skin, 
registered in the system. The government wants to 
know where everything is, so if a horse has to go 
to a training stable, we have to put it in the 
computer so they can see, she says, pointing to 
an Excel sheet on her laptop. They make the 
rules stronger and stronger. It gets harder and 
harder to survive. Soon, Nelly surmises, we 
will need a permit to ride our own horses. Things 
are heading in that direction. The weeds between 
boulders in her front yard have grown unwieldy, 
as Nelly has not yet received her renewed mowing permit for the year.

The irony, of course, as Nelly explains, is that 
the government says we need to get rid of the 
farmers, that we need nature; but if they send 
the farmers away then it will be one big mess. We 
do not only milk cows, but we keep our pastures 
and the forest in good condition. Everything is kept neat by the farmers.

Nellys farm is emptier than usual, due to a new 
law stating that you can keep no more than 1.5 
cows per hectare, an impossibly small number down 
from four. The regulation favoring large 
landowners has already cost Nelly a third of her cows.

We have to sell 17 cows out of 55 and a heifer 
counts as two, she says. We live in the middle 
of a forest and have only a few hectares out 
front so we cannot use pasture, but we have loads 
of land. If we dont give it up, they take it 
away from our milking money. They know how to find you.

The nature of the project is not lost on Nelly. 
Holland wants to be the best little boy out of 
the class, she says. We start with this 
nonsense and the other countries are following. 
They are now talking about nitrogen, phosphates.

Simply put, they just draw a map and say how 
many cows should go there. You are not allowed to 
spread manure, even organic. There have been many 
suicides. People get sick and ill and depressed. 
What people do not understand is that farming is a way of life.

Nellys farm is deemed insufficient nature by the 
UN/World Banks development plan, its return to 
nature ethos embodied in a program called 
re-wilding, under which it is illegal to harm 
predators. So, last month, wolves ate four of 
Nellys cows, including one calf, and bit one of 
her prized filly horses in the leg, forcing Nelly 
to put it down. Shoot a deadly wolf, go to jail. 
Thats just the way things go around here.

Jos: Theres nothing scientific about it whatever.

Still, other farmers remain defiant. We will 
win, asserts a rangy, 67, thirty-something Jos 
Ubels, standing on his beef cattle ranch in denim 
overalls, his face and arms covered in dirt and 
mud and grime. Jos makes no apologies, offering a 
simple critique of the governments policies: 
Its hideous, its crazy what theyre imposing. 
Theres nothing logical about it. Mr. Ubels 
cows live better than many people. They are free 
to graze in the sun most of the time, before it all ends in one bad day.

As Jos explains, They dont want nitrogen 
because certain specific plants hate nitrogen; 
they only grow on poor soils, so they want the 
soil to be poor. And they are saying that the 
farmers are causing the soil to get richer. So, 
if youre farming more effectively than what is allowed, youre in trouble.

Official logic is reason inverted: The growth of 
obscure plants supersedes food production.

The threat posed by nitrogen, a gas that returns 
to the ground to feed nutrients in the soil, is 
grossly overstated if not wholly fictitious. As 
Jos notes: Its stupid because nitrogen is 
actually circular. In farming its absorbed back 
into the soil. But they only take into account 
the output. And they use flawed computer models 
to calculate this. Theres nothing scientific about it whatsoever.

Across the West, as we have seen with wildly 
<https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2020/05/08/so-the-real-scandal-is-why-did-anyone-ever-listen-to-this-guy/>inaccurate 
Covid predictions, flawed computer models have 
become a stand-in for science, not a supplement 
to it. But this is about politics, so those on 
the take are indifferent to reason, let alone to the fate of Dutch agriculture.

If you have people who live on the government 
payroll, they dont have to produce anything, 
says Jos. They can just dream all day about 
idealistic solutions for problems that dont 
exist. If you ask them about real problems, they 
say its not our problem and they dont have a 
solution. Everything is the fault of the farmers.

Compounding the crisis confronting the farmers is 
a massive, growing fertilizer shortage. Within 1 
or 2 months there will be no fertilizer in 
Europe, Jos predicts, So you can try to buy it 
but you cant find any. They are using the last 
of what they have in store. The price is 100x 
higher than it used to be. This will create a 
crisis because the demand is very high and there 
will be nothing left in stock. We need fertilizer 
but there is no production and no import because 
the biggest importer was Russia. Theres not enough gas.

He adds that the government still buys the very 
same Russian gas, only these days through 
middle-men at huge markups on the spot market.

The WEF [World Economic Forum] is radically 
trying to change the world, Jos notes. And 
their front man Klaus Schwab says in the end you 
will own nothing. The funny thing is that he will 
own everything. The rules they are coming up with 
are sick. Thats why you see the upside-down 
flags, its a sign of distress. Its to show the 
people of the Netherlands dont support this.

Unfortunately, it seems the environmental lawyers 
of the mobilization for the environment (MOB) 
have the know-how (and funding) to routinely 
defend anti-farming laws successfully in court.

Our government made some stupid laws. So for a 
smart lawyer from MOB, they know how to break 
down the laws because they are not very well 
constructed. And they do this on a regular basis. 
The government already lost four cases against 
them, and had to invent new laws. So theyre 
getting scared to fight MOB. When they have a 
problem, like with farming, they dont ask the 
farmers how to solve it. They ask MOB because the 
farmers do not get high-priced lawyers to fight 
the law. MOB has a key position because the government is not smart enough.

The question: how much longer can such an assault 
go on? If people are fed you can keep them happy 
so long as you have a good story, says Jos. But 
if they are getting hungry then the government 
will lose everything. In the first week, people 
cant buy anything; by the 2nd week they start 
complaining. By the third week they go to the 
Hague and rip the people out of office. Decades 
ago we decided as a nation that we want to have 
good agriculture. Now we have perfect agriculture 
and they want to shut it down. I think the roads will burn again.

Despite exceeding previously-set climate goals, 
the state is imposing even more stringent restrictions on Dutch farmers.

As even 
<https://www.oecd.org/environment/country-reviews/2958654.pdf>OECD 
admits, Environmental agreements, which are more 
or less binding substitutes for regulation, have 
been successful in a number of areas in the 
Netherlands; the 
<https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv:OJ.L_.2014.148.01.0088.01.ENG&toc=OJ:L:2014:148:TOC>European 
Commission concurring, Monitoring data show a 
downward trend in nitrate concentration in 
groundwater. Nevertheless, Implementation of 
environmental agreements should be accompanied 
more systematically by transparency mechanisms 
and the threat of penalties for farmers. (And 
its list of demands runs on for hundreds of 
pages, extending far beyond the scope of nature).

The farmer shall accept that the fertilizer 
application and account can be subject to 
control. Periodic nitrogen and phosphorus 
analysis in soil shall be performed for each 
farm. A fertilization account shall be kept for 
each farmland. It shall be submitted to the 
competent authority for each calendar year

It seems that nothing Dutch farmers can do will 
be adequate. We have a million less cows than in 
1991 when [the global environmental treaty] 
Natura 2000 came, because of protected areas 
[where agriculture is forbidden or restricted], 
Sieta says. We already reduced 70 percent of 
emissions, a marked improvement confirmed by 
OECD as being insufficient. But a lot of 
politicians want an end to dairy. They say 
ammonia from animals is the worst thing that can happen.

So whats to replace food-production? One more 
stated plan, far-fetched as it might seem in the 
midst of Europes energy crisis, is to build a 
new kind of metropolis, a

encompassing parts of Holland, Germany and 
Belgium, called the <https://www.tristatecity.nl/>Tristate-City.

The Tristate-City website brands the project as 
Europes new super-city
an organically green 
network metropol where urban and rural space 
remain in balance. Details are sparse, but the 
planners wholeheartedly promise: This model has 
no relation whatsoever with the nitrogen policy of the Dutch government!

"And I think, in the end, that is the best 
definition of journalism I have heard; to 
challenge authority - all authority - especially 
so when governments and politicians take us to 
war, when they have decided that they will kill 
and others will die. " --Robert Fisk

'From South America, where payment must be made 
with subtlety, the Bormann organization has made 
a substantial contribution. It has drawn many of 
the brightest Jewish businessmen into a 
participatory role in the development of many of 
its corporations, and many of these Jews share 
their prosperity most generously with Israel. If 
their proposals are sound, they are even provided 
with a specially dispensed venture capital fund. 
I spoke with one Jewish businessmen in Hartford, 
Connecticut. He had arrived there quite unknown 
several years before our conversation, but with 
Bormann money as his leverage. Today he is more 
than a millionaire, a quiet leader in the 
community with a certain share of his profits 
earmarked as always for his venture capital 
benefactors. This has taken place in many other 
instances across America and demonstrates how 
Bormanns people operate in the contemporary 
commercial world, in contrast to the fanciful 
nonsense with which Nazis are described in so much literature.

So much emphasis is placed on select Jewish 
participation in Bormann companies that when 
Adolf Eichmann was seized and taken to Tel Aviv 
to stand trial, it produced a shock wave in the 
Jewish and German communities of Buenos Aires. 
Jewish leaders informed the Israeli authorities 
in no uncertain terms that this must never happen 
again because a repetition would permanently 
rupture relations with the Germans of Latin 
America, as well as with the Bormann 
organization, and cut off the flow of Jewish 
money to Israel. It never happened again, and the 
pursuit of Bormann quieted down at the request of 
these Jewish leaders. He is residing in an 
Argentinian safe haven, protected by the most 
efficient German infrastructure in history as 
well as by all those whose prosperity depends on his well-being.'
