Dutch Farmers Show Us Climate Is the Excuse for Corporatism

Dutch farmers are facing condemnation of their land and seizure of their businesses in the name of the climate as rotten corporatism asserts itself in Europe.
Dutch farmers are protesting what is unimaginable tyranny by their government, which is in the process of stealing their land and squashing their businesses in the name of climate action. Why this is happening, though, illustrates exactly what I have been relentlessly preaching here over the last year or so; that corporatism, not ideology, and certainly not science, is what is behind the climate scam that threatens not only our energy security, but also Western civilization itself.
Corporatism is the union of business and state, pioneered by Mussolini among others, who used cooperative big business to advance his brand of socialism and dictatorship, promising it free rein to profit as long as it did what was expected by Benito. Today, it works somewhat the opposite in that corporatists are running the government, but at the root it is the same thing, an unholy alliance for the purpose of scamming the citizenry as it makes serfs of all of us. That’s what green eggs and scam are all about—grifting on a global scale.
Dutch farmers are onto this game because their very livelihoods are at stake and the story is told here, but the essential facts are as follows:
- As BeefCentral.com has noted, “Earlier this month, the Netherlands Government announced plans to halve the country’s nitrogen output by 2030 – with cattle-produced manure and fertilizer in the firing line. The government estimates this could cut livestock numbers by 30 percent. The government has made plans to buy out some farmers and cancel the production rights attached to their land or to help finance their relocation.”
- The government official who organized the regulations to take farmland from farmers and reduce their livestock is a politician named Christianne van der Wal-Zeggelink who is the current Minister for Nature and Nitrogen Policy in the Dutch cabinet of Prime Minister Mark Rutte, both being climate activists intent on meeting arbitrary future emissions limits so as to supposedly fight global warming. Mrs. van der Wal-Zeggelink has created the regulations farmers are protesting.
- Christianne van der Wall-Zeggelink is married to Piet van der Wal, whose family owns a supermarket chain called Boni. It is one of a small group of four big investors in the online supermarket chain Picnic, which buys their groceries at wholesale prices from Boni, “which saves them the operational costs on that side.”The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Trust is another big investor in Picnic. “Sales from Picnic or Boni directly increase the wealth of the Dutch Nitrogen Policy Minister. Picnic also sells the engineered food that Bill Gates promotes.”
- The CEO of Picnic is Michiel Muller, a “self-described visionary, who intends to “change the entire food system, eliminate waste” and further sustainable energy development and the climate change agenda.
- Dutch Nitrogen Minister Christianne van der Wall-Zeggelink, therefore, “has a direct financial conflict-of-interest in the advancement of sustainable supermarket and online grocery operations. Specifically, those operators who are the beneficiaries of not only her nitrogen elimination regulation, but also the direct investment from her family.”
This is how it always works with corporatism. Big business colludes with government to enact policies only it can live under, thereby eliminating competition and putting itself in the driver’s seat to take advantage of the policies by grifting and by the marketing of branded products promoting the phony agenda they helped create. That is precisely what is happening with solar and wind energy products that make no sense without government subsidization but are being forced on Upstate New York communities, for instance, so as the enrich the grifter hedge-funders invested in the schemes.
