Excerpt: I was fortunate enough to be invited as the keynote speaker to their annual event in Rapid city last month by their CEO Bill Bullard. I had an amazing time meeting so many amazing American ranchers and I wanted to share the speech I gave there with you.

If you want to watch the full speech, here is the video recording. If youโ€™d rather read through the speech, scroll down.

โ€˜โ€˜For those of you who donโ€™t know my home country, The Netherlands is a tiny country in North-West Europe and when I say tiny, I mean tiny.

For reference, the state of South Dakota alone is 5x the size of my entire country.

We might be small in size, but weโ€™re big at one thing. And thatโ€™s farming.

Farming is the backbone, not just of our economy, but of our nationโ€™s history, identity and culture.

The foundations of modern agriculture in the Netherlands were laid in the early 1500 and oftentimes farmers who are alive today come from families whose farming history dates back hundreds of years.

As a result of this, we are now amongst the worldโ€™s most lucrative, productive and technologically advanced farmers in the world.

In fact, after you guys here in America, we are the second largest exporter of agricultural products in the entire world and the largest exporter of beef in the European Union.

Itโ€™s not an overstatement to say that we together, The United States of America and The Netherlands, feed the world.

For now. Because Unfortunately the most powerful people in the world, want to stop us.

So let me tell you a real life cautionary tale. Let me tell you about what exactly has been going on with the Dutch farmers and what prompted them to go out and protest.

In 2019, a group of environmental activists sued the Dutch government, claiming that Dutch natural reserves were under threat because of a so-called โ€˜nitrogen crisisโ€™  and that the Dutch government violated Dutch law and European regulations by failing to sufficiently protect nature.

The Dutch court agreed with the environmental activists and so it began: The Netherlands officially entered the so-called โ€˜โ€™nitrogen crisisโ€™.

Not big corporations, not the airline industriesโ€ฆ

No. Both the EU and the Dutch government agree that cow burps are deemed the biggest driver of climate change.

And after the 2019 ruling, things escalated quickly. 

Last year, the Dutch government decided that 30% of all livestock needs to be cut by 2030 in order to meet the climate goals.

And then the government decided that would mean at least 3000 farms needed to be shut down in the next few years.

If farmers refuse to sell their land to the state โ€˜โ€™voluntarilyโ€™โ€™ to the state now, they run the risk of being expropriated later.

Yes, you heard that right. Expropriated. Your property rights will simply be taken away from you.

What I really want to get across here ladies and gentlemen, is that I of course could get into all the nitty gritty details of what the nitrogen crisis exactly entails according to the government, but that would be a mistake. 

Our government doesnโ€™t give a ratโ€™s ass โ€“ excuse my French โ€“  about โ€˜โ€™Dutch natureโ€™โ€™.

There is no nitrogen crisis.

It is all one big lie. Itโ€™s a pretext

And debating them within the parameters that theyโ€™ve set out for us, is not a winning strategy.

We are not dealing with people who are acting in good faith. 

Nobody whoโ€™s acting in good faith would come after one of the most hard working, respectable and lucrative sectors of our society.

Especially not when that sector puts food on our plates. Especially not in a time when weโ€™re already dealing with food shortages all over the world.

So the question remains, why are they doing this?

The answer is: the attack on farming is part of a bigger agenda of total control and we in The Netherlands are simply the pilot country. We are the tester case.

The reality of the matter is that the Dutch state is committing a land grab. And the climate/netzero is being used as a pretext.

Itโ€™s the typical globalist strategy: under the guise of morally just sounding sentences like โ€œwe have to save the climateโ€, a hidden totalitarian agenda is being rolled out.

So whatโ€™s behind all of this?

First, in the Dutch case, actual state documents have shown that the Dutch government needs the land to build new houses for migrants.

Like I said, we are a tiny country, but we are bursting at the seams in terms of population density.

Due to mass migration from Africa and the Middle East, we are now nearing 18 million inhabitants this year.

But since half of all the land in The Netherlands is owned by farmers and the state simply doesnโ€™t have space to build new houses for all of the migrants that theyโ€™re importing, they need a solution.

And the solution they have come up with is: stealing other peopleโ€™s land. 

Let me get to the 2nd and most important reason why a war is being waged against our farmers?

Remember how I said the government wants to cut down livestock by 30% before 2030? 

The specific mention of 2030 is not a coincidence. Itโ€™s because that is the deadline that the global elites have given them to implement a new agenda.

And that agenda is called the 2030 Agenda.

So what is it exactly?

The 2030 Agenda consists of 17 sustainable development goals, laid out by the United Nations. When we take a superficial look at these goals, they all seem very noble.

I meanโ€ฆ โ€œno povertyโ€ and โ€œno hungerโ€, who could be against that?

However, if we take a closer look at these goals youโ€™ll realise that they can never do this without forceful โ€˜โ€™redistribution of goods, food and rightsโ€™โ€™ aka: the obliteration of basic civil liberties and property rights.

And of course, they always try selling it to us under the guise of equality. Itโ€™s only fair if everybody has equal resources, they argue. Yet, nobody ever voted for any of this.

Reeks like communism doesnโ€™t it?

Well, youโ€™d be right to say that, because thatโ€™s exactly what it is.

It will simply mean that a very small group of  super rich elites gets richer and everyone else becomes equally poor and miserable.

And these goals are not restricted to the Netherlands โ€“ theyโ€™re goals for the world as a whole.

And once again, we see the true motive here: establishing a world government. 

A new world order.

In which our global elites decide what we eat, when we eat, where we are allowed to travel, how we are allowed to travel, what we are allowed to own and who we are allowed to meet.

Iโ€™m sure youโ€™ve heard of Klaus Schwabโ€™s plans for the great reset and his statement that. โ€œYouโ€™ll own nothing and youโ€™ll be happyโ€. Well this is it. This is that agenda.

It is just absolutely crucial to know, that the first part of that sentence is the truth and the second part of that sentence is a lie.

The globalists are specifically targeting farmers, because they want our way of living and eating to change radically and they understand that they canโ€™t do that without getting rid of you guys. 

You are some of the most independent, hard working and most importantly God fearing people on the planet. And those people are not easy to control.

On top of that, you produce foods that they donโ€™t want us to eat. Animal fats and proteins from meat, eggs and milk, make us strong. 

Instead, they want us to eat synthetic meats created by Bill Gates, they want us to eat bugs and drink soy milk that will make us weak and obedient, so we do what they say and buy what they offer.

And that brings me to the title of this presentation: those who control the food, control the people.

The communists knew this better than anyone. The first thing Stalin did was come after the farmers.

And the globalists of today are just copy pasting that strategy, but this time around they use pretty/virtuous words to hide their true intentions.

And you might be thinking, well that  may be true for The Netherlands, but here it wonโ€™t get that far.

Well ladies and gentlemen, that depends on whether people like you hold the line.

Because the agenda is global and itโ€™s a matter of time before it arrives in the US too.

The globalists have money, time and power. 

If there is one thing you American farmers should know from our experience in the Netherlands, it is that the globalists are waging a war of attrition.

They start with hitting you with new rules and regulations forcing you to adapt your business.

Then they hit you with expensive legal procedures. In the meantime, they mobilize the media to vilify you as one of the main drivers of climate change, by using โ€œscienceโ€ and bribing โ€˜โ€™experts who will point the finger at you. 

And I know that this is already happening here in the US too. I know Bill Gates is trying to buy up Farmland, I know here in South Dakota obscure foreign funded companies like โ€˜โ€™Summit Carbon Solutionsโ€™โ€™ are trying to crack down on your property rights, I know John Kerry has launched a government attack on the agricultural sector.

Letโ€™s hear it from the horseโ€™s mouth:

1.00

โ€˜โ€™Agriculture contributes to 30% of Carbon Dioxide and without the agricultural sector we canโ€™t get to netzeroโ€™โ€™

Itโ€™s simple math.

โ€œNet zeroโ€ and the American beef industry cannot coexist. Itโ€™s one or the other.

Learn from the mistakes the Dutch farmers have made. Stay united, donโ€™t let the media divide you. Fight.

Or youโ€™ll end up in this manโ€™s shoes:

1.00

The question farmers all around the world have to ask themselves is whether or not they will hold the line, or if theyโ€™ll sell out and damn their descendants for eating bugs.

And let me tell you, I have more hope for you American farmers than for any other group of farmers.

A deep love for liberty, God and your country runs through your veins.

And your Founding Fathers gave you the means to protect it.

In The Netherlands, we donโ€™t have a second amendment. And even though the Dutch farmers have put up and continue to put up a brave fight, theyโ€™ve gone along with the governmentโ€™s lies for way too long, theyโ€™ve allowed themselves to become divided and they have been forced to face the reality that we stand pretty defenseless in the face of a tyrannical the moment they point a gun at you. 

Because that has been our reality. The police have pointed guns at our farmers and have shot and nearly killed a 16 y/o farmerโ€™s boy.

So let me end this speech with a message from the dutch farmers, one that I think you all should emulate.

1.00

I am not a farmer, but I sure as hell am proud of you.

God bless you all!โ€


There it is โ€“ that was my speech at the R-CALF convention. I hope it resonated with you all. Here are some photos taken at the convention! Please let me know your thoughts, is there anything youโ€™d personally pass along to the farmers? If so, let me know in the comments below.

Major Media Plans a Massive Collusion-fest to โ€œGet their Stories Straightโ€ on Climate Change

The only thing keeping the โ€œclimate crisisโ€ narrative afloat this long is the influence of wealthy elites in Western nations and the power-hungry politicians beholden them who keep pouring taxpayers money into the climate scheme for the purposes of gaining power by trying to control energy.

Byย Anthony Watts

The Columbia Journalism School of New York City has announced a media seminar โ€œClimate Changes Everything โ€“ Creating a Blueprint for Media Transformationโ€ to be held September 21 and 22, 2023. The tagline for it reads: โ€œJoin leading journalists from around the world for an unprecedented conversation about how to cover a world on fire.โ€

They start out with a lie, the world isnโ€™t โ€œon fireโ€ at all. To say this sort of media collusion to โ€œget their stories straightโ€ on climate is wrong, would be an understatement. This seminar violates virtually every principle as defined by the American Press Institute in their โ€œThe elements of journalismโ€ definitions, especially the tenet โ€œIts practitioners must maintain an independence from those they cover.โ€ With this sort of collusion, independence on the topic of climate change essentially disappears.

The press release for it, from their webpage, is below:


Reporters, editors, and news executives from Agence France-Presse, the Associated Press, CBS News, Puerto Ricoโ€™s Center for Investigative Journalism, France Tรฉlรฉvisions, the Guardian, South Floridaโ€™s NBC 6, NowThis, Telemundo, TIME, The Times of India, and The Weather Channel โ€” among many other outlets, large and small โ€” will join with hundreds of colleagues to chart a course for tackling the climate story in ways that drive attention and impact while highlighting solutions and justice.

  • Hear from newsrooms innovating to meet the moment: How can news outlets everywhere treat climate change as a story for every beat, not just silo it on the weather desk?
  • Discuss whether news outlets should still take fossil fuel advertising, and how journalists can grapple with climate disinformation.
  • Look ahead to 2024 elections that will have profound implications for global climate action. How can journalists make those implications clear to voters, refute misinformation, and hold candidates accountable?
  • Learn from journalists covering and living in frontline communities how to highlight climate justice in our reporting.
  • Recognize that telling the entire climate story means not just including solutions โ€” but interrogating those solutions, so the public and policymakers know which ones actually work.
  • Plus, get a front row seat to interviews with special guests and global climate luminaries.

CLIMATE CHANGES EVERYTHINGย will be a participatory event, with networking breaks, a town hall, and working sessions on key conference themes.

Weโ€™re at a moment of historic opportunity for journalism. Climate coverage around the world is better than ever, but so much more is needed: more energy, more creativity, more commitment. Letโ€™s forge a path forward, together.

Despite decades of coordinated effort by the most-powerful media outlets in Western society, voters still put โ€œclimate changeโ€ย dead last of their priority listย in polls. That is something significant that the media is ignoring with this new push. Or, perhaps it worries them.

It could be the progressive elites that control global information are so worried that voters โ€œsimply donโ€™t careโ€ enough about climate that they feel the need to redouble their coordinated efforts to hyperbolize the climate crisis. This arguably good news, suggesting that efforts like those undertaken daily atย Climate Realism,ย WattsUpWithThat, and many other climate realist efforts for the past three decades have not been in vain. This principled and often lonely work of climate realists to speak truth to power has been effective, at least when you compare it to the sort of budgets these media giants have.

The low-funded David has struck the massively funded Goliath โ€ฆ if not with a kill shot, at least one that wounded him and got him worried that he might lose. The bravery of climate skeptics worldwide has proven more powerful than media because we have the truth on our side. Why? Because of what Goliath didnโ€™t expect from us: climate skeptics have the courage to say the truth, andย never stopย no matter the cost.

While the Media writes about the supposed โ€œconsensusโ€ and โ€œsettled science,โ€ climate realists point out that consensus is a political, not scientific term and that science is never โ€œsettled.โ€ On the question of catastrophic climate change, following the scientific method, testing theories against data, indicates that no such crisis is in the offing. Most types of extreme weather events are not getting worse.

The only thing keeping the โ€œclimate crisisโ€ narrative afloat this long is the influence of wealthy elites in Western nations and the power-hungry politicians beholden them who keep pouring taxpayers money into the climate scheme for the purposes of gaining power by trying to control energy. Eventually, the climate panic will end. The Soviet Union was considered even more permanent than the United States and the Western capitalist model, for at least two generations. Yet it fell, like the climate crisis will, because the โ€œscienceโ€ of communism and socialism was as fraudulent as the โ€œscienceโ€ that says humans are causing a climate catastrophe.

[CLIP] Christine Anderson: From 15-Minute Cities to Climate Lockdowns, the Rise of Digital Tyranny

โ€œOnce we end up in a totalitarian regime and it’s fully blown, given the technological means they have at their disposal today, we’re not talking about 40 years of GDR.

American Thought Leaders – The Epoch Times

โ€œOnce we end up in a totalitarian regime and it’s fully blown, given the technological means they have at their disposal today, we’re not talking about 40 years of GDR.

We’re not talking about 70 years of the Soviet Union.

We’re talking about a very, very long time,โ€ says Christine Anderson, a member of the European Parliament.

Western democracies are gradually moving towards digital tyranny, she argues.
