Note to Globalist Predators - Rolling Strikes Across the World Until You Surrender
Europe finally rises and it is marvellous
I have, captured on my hard drive, several hundred incidents of farmers, truckers, rail workers, you name it, on the march in every country and every region in Europe. They are out by the tens of thousands and they are staying out, rolling thunder up and down the roads, clogging up traffic, walling politicians in their homes, dumping manure at every government building. In the U.K., right now, they are marshalling for a massive truck and tractor protest on the way to London. Paris is in trauma, all of France locked up on a rolling basis, by which I mean, the police never know where it’s going to happen next. Every country, Poland, Greece, Italy, Corsica, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain is on fire.
Here’s the witless Financial Times on February 23rd.
It is a testament to how far political leaders and opinion formers have lost touch with agriculture that so few seem to have seen this coming. Governments that want to tackle climate change seem not to have thought through the effects on an industry that is facing rising production costs and falling global food prices.
Sorry Camilla Cavendish (a more elitish name you cannot imagine) you are way way way out of date. Call yourself a reporter? Honey, you are a typist for the Rothschilds.
The Financial Times is about eighteen months behind the times. What is happening in Europe runs far deeper and presages far more systematic change than a temporary pulling back on taxes and regulation.
Nope, we are removing your lamp from your lampstand until you submit. Or, to be precise:
repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place—unless you repent.
Dammit.
What are they fighting? This:
This is why the farmers revolt is significant:
John Dickenson’s Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania were carried from town to town, printed again and again, read out aloud at town meetings, electrifying pre-Revolutionary America. Farmers, said Dickenson, and I paraphrase, are the basis of any culture. Anger them too much, and things change. Plus, they are not beholden to anyone, they can feed and house themselves, they are the base of independence; from their secure houses, new ideas are nurtured. Finally they have mastered inputs and outputs. A farmer knows when a culture is failing. And they are respected. It was why Stalin murdered the Kulaks, too uppity, too unpredictable.
Another thinker, Henry St. John, the Viscount Bolingbroke, a Tory, founded the Country Party in opposition to the Whig ascendancy, which he called the Court Party, where advancement was doled out via preference and bribery, not the virtue of an idea or proposal. Bolingbroke (unreadable now) said that the country was from where all good things came, ingenuity, creativity, problem solving. It must be heard. Bolingbroke and his friends are credited with the invention of a Parliamentary opposition.
He was exiled for his trouble, his properties confiscated, his wife left him, and he spent the time in Paris alternating whooping it up – famous for running naked along the Champs-Élysées – and consulting for Bonnie Prince Charlie’s daddy, James Stuart, who claimed the British throne. And fighting for his rights. Bolingbroke was eventually allowed home, ran for Parliament and went on to challenge the Court party, unpacking the legislation until the special deals that bled the country were consigned to history. The subsequent economic boom produced a period of growth in Britain, leading to the Industrial Revolution. And, to the American Revolution, because Bolingbroke was much read by the American founders.
Sound familiar? Because here we are again. The World Economic Forum in partnership with the United Nations has divided up the world and said this goes here and that goes there, and "free trade" is everywhere, but we pick the winners and losers. The losers are the people of western democracies, slated to be overrun, their history and traditions and practices buried. Too uppity, too inconvenient.
Europe is, finally, on fire. In every country, farmers are on the roads, joined by truckers, joined by rail workers. Sixty-nine percent of Germany, the most obedient population in the E.U., is on their side. Even little Corsica has its farmers out. This is just the beginning, because farmers can come and go, they don’t have “jobs,” they have businesses, they are independent. The last week of February, farmers started ripping up the fences outside the E.U.’s buildings with their backhoes. In France, farmers and truckers are walling government officials in their buildings. And while the specific complaint is Net-Zero and Europe's Green New Deal, everything is on the table, especially the floods of immigrants breaking small cities, towns and rural Europe’s culture, traditions and local economies.
Rishi Sunak, the globalist’s globalist, has announced that he is not backing down. Macron was chased through a market last weekend, but he too is holding firm. Like Trudeau, and the interloper Biden, they cling to power. These countries claim they have clean elections. I doubt it. The electoral reason for mass immigration is immigrant vote bundling via fast tracking to permanent residency. It happens everywhere. People who barely speak the host country language are told who to vote for by their community leaders, who distribute housing and benefits. Immigrants and migrants are sorted into swing districts where the cheat won’t be noticed. Migrants in the U.S. are overwhelmingly sent to red states.
In my opinion, in every single European country, elections are stolen via organized voter migration. I followed a politician friend who worked this angle and won, specifically an Attorney General of my province. This is why and how Trudeau clings to power – he has brought in 16 percent of the population in the last nine years, and many of them can vote. It is why Sunak and Macron won’t back down. They’re good. They’re protected. Their election, despite the rise of populism, is not in question. If Keir Starmer wins, it’s because the WEFers have decided he can.
Bureaucracy collides with food every single time. In the words of Morgan Ody, a vegetable farmer from France, and Vincent Delobel, a Walloon goat diary farmer:
Since the 1980s, various regulations that ensured fair prices for European farmers have been dismantled. The E.U. put all its faith in free trade agreements, which placed all the world’s farmers in competition with each other, encouraging them to produce at the lowest possible price at the cost of their own incomes and growing debt.
And that is why we are here. The winners in the food game are the consolidators, the bureaucrats who decide food prices and, of course, the markets, and finally the hedge funds. It is a case of taking from the poor and giving to the rich.
The entire environmental business has been captured, becoming yet another way to loot the public purse. The U.S. has borrowed $7 trillion over the past three years; 25% of that money went to ‘climate change’ projects, all of which are simply garbage. This is theft.
The most important thing to know about "the environment," the country, rural regions, is that every place is different. The soil is different, water is different, rains, winds, even the air is different. The people have different and specific talents, and their culture grows first from the land, from the soil. In order to win against the specific nutrition created by specific regions, in order to slaughter individual competition, to kill local cultures, the food giants have corrupted products to the point where obesity is killing us faster than any other condition. I challenge you to really look at your fellow citizens. Does anyone look healthy? The chemical pollution of America’s food means that most of it is profoundly toxic. The Bio-Pharma lobby provides 50 percent of the FDA’s funds.
The lure of today’s Court party and the sickening culture of elite consumption is dying. All over the world, in countless places, people are innovating the food supply, healing the earth one field and forest at a time. There are little fires everywhere, but this time they are connected in a giant web, like mushroom mycelia, the substrate of the earth, about to rise in yet another throwing off of a corrupt Court party.

Elizabeth Nickson was trained as a reporter at the London bureau of Time Magazine. She became European Bureau Chief of LIFE magazine in its last years of monthly publication, and during that time, acquired the rights to Nelson Mandela’s memoir before he was released from Robben Island. She went on to write for Harper’s Magazine, the Guardian, the Observer, the Independent, the Sunday Telegraph, the Sunday Times Magazine, the Telegraph, the Globe and Mail and the National Post. Her first book The Monkey Puzzle Tree was an investigation of the CIA MKULTRA mind control program and was published by Bloomsbury and Knopf Canada. Her next book, Eco-Fascists, How Radical Environmentalists Are Destroying Our Natural Heritage, was a look at how environmentalism, badly practiced, is destroying the rural economy and rural culture in the U.S. and all over the world. It was published by Adam Bellow at Harper Collins US. She is a Senior Fellow at the Frontier Centre for Public Policy. fcpp.org.
It isn't hard to find out how thoroughly things are going to hell in a handbasket from the perspective of those of us here in Canada and the US - all you have to do is look past the tall tales that the MSM keep telling on the CIA's orders. We're going to destroy Russia, right? And something or other is going to happen in the Holy Land - we won't say exactly what so that we don't anger one side or the other.
Here is where I come for hope. Not that I don't find out details about the terrible things that the Greenies are doing or the Pharma Assault on our basic being, but that there is push-back. There are real people who are saying "Enough!" and doing something about it en masse, even if they are on the other side of the Pond right now. The first impetus was from Canada's Own Truckers and there's reasonable hope that Canada and the US will pick up the torch again, and hopefully before the Election down south turns into a shooting war.
Thank you, Elizabeth, for all you are doing for us.
Why farmers? What is it about people who work the land for a living taking all the risks nature can throw at them, figuring out solutions daily independently to be successful? The term "Populism" according to Thomas Frank in "The People, NO" originated in 1891 when US farmers banded together to counter the elite actions of the time which left farmers poor as elites became wealthy from food production. Today, the elites claim farmers are the cause of every imagined climate and geopolitical crisis when in fact it is the elites' policies.
My experience living in rural America is that farmers have one thing in common, they live by the truths they give to others. They honor their commitments but demand fairness in return. Very basic stuff but they do the everyday without written contracts to counterparties. They are the basis of Common Law to which they are attuned. They form the base character of any nation with that character diminishing with the increasing height someone in society operates up the social ladder.
Farmers are deemed crude because they work with their hands batting the elements. They are deemed unsophisticated in their thinking but they have the most connected but unarticulated basic understanding of human interaction and fairness on which they daily rely. They act on truth and fairness every day with actions speaking louder, having greater influence, than words. That is why farmers are the base of any country's character and rarely recognized by the rest of us not so connected by our daily lives.
Understanding the value of each service on which society depends is increasingly lost in direct proportion to how large government becomes with its multitude of hangers-on. Schaller and Waldman just released "White Rural Rage". Their description of rural America reeks of the self-important bias elites hold for average people. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/msnbc-segment-calling-white-rural-voters-most-racist-in-the-country-raises-eyebrows/ar-BB1jaQNl Paul Krugman has stated that all of society's value is created in cities. An interesting perspective for a world famous economist (in his own rarified circle) when everything on which cities rely are grown and manufactured in rural America. The ingenuity to produce does not come from cities but from individuals who have hands-on experience with production who continuously find better means towards faster, better and cheaper. Without producers, cities would collapse within hours.
Populism is being described as "White Rural Rage" when in fact what the elites are hearing is the long unarticulated set of basic values in the US Constitution which was created by farmers in 1789.
