HOLLAND ON THE BRINK OF CIVIL WAR
On Monday farmers appeared at the home of the Nature and Nitrogen Minister Van der Wal-Zeggelink. Hay was burned, fireworks were set off and a police car was pushed out of the way so tractors could enter the street. Farmers also emptied a tanker containing slurried manure into the roadway. Police were apparently unable to disperse the assembled farmers due to the size of the protest.
Farmers also protested in the Netherlands’ political capital, The Hague, where two cows were brought to participate in the protests as well. Prime Minister Mark Rutte called the actions “unacceptable and out of proportion” and condemned the farmers’ actions. He has characterized the massive protests as the actions of a small minority and demanded they stop. His comments have been echoed by other members of his administration.

What is happening in the Netherlands is not minor. It is not transitory.Battle lines are being drawn between people who want to control their own lives and retain their personal freedom and the powerful, worldwide “elitists” who believe they should rule and everyone else should shut up and obey. The Dutch have had enough and they are taking to the streets to resist this globalist agenda.
Things are dangerously close to escalating past road blockades and supply disruptions to major violence in the streets.
