You Will Eat Zee Bugz, Because We Vill Literally Starve You Until There Is Nothing to Eat But Zee Bugz

Daily Caller: Despite protests, the Dutch government i proceeding with its plan to seize 3000 farms in order to stop them from producing food, because food for humans is bad for the environment.


The Dutch government is planning to buy and close down up to 3,000 farms near environmentally sensitive areas to be in compliance with EU environmental rules.

It comes after farmer protests erupted this summer following a government plan to reduce nitrogen emissions by 50% by 2030, The New York Times reported. Farmers believe the measure unfairly targeted the agricultural sector, which is responsible for the largest portion of nitrogen emissions in the Netherlands, the Times added.

The government will conduct a "compulsory purchase" of large nitrogen emitters as part of a voluntary, one-time offer, announced Nitrogen Minister Christianne van der Wal, Bloomberg reported. Farmers will be offered a deal "well over" the value of the farm, according to the government plan. She asserted "there is no better offer coming" in a Friday meeting with MPs.

It's a voluntary sale, except it's also compulsory. What they mean, I think, is: "First we make you an offer to buy your farm at a price we have set. If you don't take it, fine, but the next action we take is to make it illegal for you to farm, crushing your lands' value. So you'd better take our first and last offer in this 'voluntary' sale."


In response to the decision, Executive Director of Consumers' Research Will Hild told the Daily Caller "The Netherland's war on farmers to pursue their ESG agenda serves as a stark warning. Americans should be vigilant against efforts by both governments and big Wall Street firms like BlackRock pushing these same dangerous "net zero" carbon emissions targets here in the US. It is difficult to overstate the recklessness of undermining farmers during the greatest global food crisis in decades. This will likely exacerbate the food price inflation we are already experiencing."

...

The Netherlands has become the world's second largest exporter of agricultural products after the United States, and provides vegetables for much of western Europe, Washington Post reported. Over half of Dutch land is used for agriculture in addition to 24,000 acres worth of crops growing in greenhouses, the Post specified.

The second largest exporter after the US.

That won't have any impact on world meat prices, will it?


Germany is meanwhile stopping meat production as well.


Germany is still caught up in the demands of the climate change lobby to reduce its carbon footprint drastically in the coming years. One part of this initiative, similar to calls we've seen from activists in the United States, was a mandate to reduce all livestock on German farms by 50%. Farmers have been protesting the decision in the same way they recently did in the Netherlands this summer, but the initiative is moving forward beginning this year. Now, to the great surprise of nobody who has been paying attention, the German Meat Industry Association has reported that the country will be facing a severe meat shortage by the time spring arrives and consumers should expect prices to skyrocket, potentially doubling in some cases.

Jazz Shaw quotes from Financial Trends:


Die Welt, citing the German Meat Industry Association (VDF), reported this week that within the next four to six months Germany will face a meat shortage, and prices will skyrocket.

Hubert Kelliger, a VDF board member and head of group sales at meat seller Westfleisch said, "In four, five, six months we will have gaps on the shelves."

Pork is expected to experience the worst shortages. The issues in meat supply are due to Berlin insisting on reducing the numbers of livestock by 50% to reduce global warming emissions. Experts are warning this policy will result in mass shutdown of meat-producing companies, and that will produce a 40% rise in the price of meat.

Wow, with the price of meat skyrocketing, what will the people eat?

Don't worry, says Klaus Schwab and the Jeff Bezos' Washington Post: You vill eat zee bugz.

Or you will starve to death.

Either way, your carbon footprint is reduced.

Salted ants. Ground crickets. Why you should try edible insects.
By Carolyn Beans
November 27, 2022 at 7:02 a.m. EST

"It kind of tastes like kettle corn!" says Adaline Welk, 6, of the mealworm she ate. (Carolyn Beans)

On a clear August morning in southeastern Pennsylvania, more than a dozen adults and children stood in a park pavilion, listening to mealworms sizzling in a hot pan. They were learning about entomophagy -- the human consumption of insects -- from Lisa Sanchez, a naturalist with the Lancaster County Department of Parks and Recreation, who has taught the practice for 25 years.

Suddenly, one mealworm sputtered out of the pan. Six-year-old Adaline Welk -- without prompting -- popped it into her mouth. The crowd cheered for the newly minted entomophagist. "It's not that bad!" she exclaimed. "It kind of tastes like kettle corn!"

Sanchez encourages people to eat insects, in part, to lighten environmental footprints. Farmed insects produce far less greenhouse gas and require much less land and water than conventional livestock. Insects also generate more biomass with less input. Crickets, for example, are 12 times more efficient than cows at converting feed into edible weight.

Already, 2 billion people eat insects, according to one estimate -- primarily in parts of Africa, Latin America and Asia. The practice dates back millennia. "I always thought, even back in the '90s, someday, maybe, [Americans] will do this," Sanchez says.

Would you eat insects to help save the planet? These companies are betting yes.

The coming years may prove her right. The edible insect industry is ramping up -- one report predicts the market will reach $9.6 billion by 2030. Consumers can already find foods like salted ants on Amazon and cricket powder protein bars in Swiss grocery stores. Recent years have seen numerous media stories extolling the virtues of insect-eating.


More from David Strom.


So I have several thoughts.

The first is that Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, John Kerry, Klaus Schwab and the rest of the Blofeld Club should be forced to eat nothing but bugs for protein. I don't care how you do it -- there is no way the Ruling Class should be permitted to starve the lower orders into having to eat bugs, as if they were primitive tribesmen, while they continue to dine on the limited quantities of steak they've allowed to be produced.

All of the Bug-Pushers must be forced to eat bugs and only bugs.

But I expect that is about as realistic a plan as expecting these people, who are always telling us to stop driving and stop using air conditioning, to stop using air-conditioned private aircraft and private yachts all over the world to attend their Climate Mitigation Confabs.

The other thought I have is this: What has been the reaction, historically, from the masses, when their rulers cause them to starve? Some rulers have just gotten unlucky with harvests; these people are deliberately engineering a mass starvation.

Or, at best: They're rolling the dice with one, and saying "YOLO."

Two important food exporting countries, Ukraine and Russia, are at war, and the world's supply chains are still impacted by covid.

And the EU says: Shut down meat production anyway.

What happens when people can't find food for their kids?

What has been the reaction to this sort of thing, historically?

Has anyone noticed the motorized goalposts with regard to emissions?

First it's Carbon Dioxide that's the enemy. Until you run a diesel engine to burn less oil, but then the problem switches to nitrogen compounds. And in the United States it becomes methane because that's a peculiar way of inhibiting local oil production while not being applied to oil from Putin and Xi owned countries like Venezuela.

Then suddenly it's nitrogen again when they want to close down farms, while still sending money to Putin for natural gas through various cutouts.

They got jet turbines on those goalposts, and they don't have to pay a carbon tax on them.

Some evil government drone responded to one of her requests by offering the retired Cpl medically assisted suicide. They said, "If it's too difficult for you to continue living, we can off you medical aid in dying."

Poor people. Really poor. Impoverished people. When people stop being poverty-wracked, the first thing they do is diversify their diet into things that are both better for them (usually) but also tastier. Once they get rich, they usually stop eating bugs and grass.

This is isn't a coincidence. This is the future. "Eat the bug" is the same as saying "be impoverished." And that is their intention.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

246 I have worked with people from India for most of my career. Many of them are vegetarian. Based on my observations, they are nearly universally soft and weak. They're mostly skinny as a rail when they're younger, with no muscle definition. Then when they hit their mid 20s or so, the guys get a paunch. The ladies who don't work out a lot turn round fast.

If you've heard vegetarians brag they don't get fat, just look at Indian women past the age of 30 or so. Of course there are exceptions, especially for people in India who don't get much food. But a whole hell of a lot of them in the US match this description.

260 Supposedly they flew in 200 Maine lobsters for the White House state dinner.

The problem with that: his administration is trying to strangle the lobster industry to protect whales that probably don't need protecting. From Redstate:

"Politicians on both sides of the aisle have called on Biden to rescind new lobster fishing regulations. The regulations forbid the use of some fishing gear because conservationists claim that some lobster gear can be a threat to endangered whales–despite the fact there’s no evidence that it’s resulted in the deaths of any of the whales. That caused the Marine Stewardship Council and Seafood Watch to pull their support for the lobster industry, and Whole Foods announced it would stop carrying lobster at stores last month."

276 The "eat the bugs" idea is being sold as a way to save the planet. But the planet won't need saving.

It's true that it takes a lot more resources to raise meat than to raise plants or bugs. However, more-efficient meat is coming to factories near you.

Companies are working out how to make really good fake meat, and also how to grow actual meat, in factories. Factory meat will follow the usual curve for a new technology: first, just barely possible, but expensive and also probably very inferior (worse texture, maybe worse taste). Then factory meat will become about the same price as animal meat. Finally factory meat will become less expensive than animal meat, and people will voluntarily buy it.

So the whole premise that the masses must be forced to eat bugs is wrong from the get-go, even if they actually do believe that meat farming hurts the planet.

He did, actually. He saw the dislocation of forced malinvestment creating serious disruption in supply chains.
He didn't say that, he said that giving the poor money to buy meat only meant that the cost of meat would climb because there was no (at that time, 1792) possible way to make a meaningful increase in meat production, and the result would be inflation in foodstuff causing famine among the poor.

He also stated that the powers that want greater powers only ask you give them your freedoms so they can do all the things they promise, and will be unable to fulfill any promise other than taking away your liberties.

I like Malthus, no one reads him, they only read what Erlich misinterpreted for his own purposes.

This typically takes the form of "enough to eat" and "military protection."

If your only is offer is "starve until you eat worms and accept the rule of strange foreigners," then your only recourse is naked force. That's not tenable long-term - the wormeaters will eventually figure out you're the enemy and eat you instead. So the long-term solution is "more and more and more naked force."

The thing is, the West is weak. They can't keep up the kind of sustained onslaught of violence necessary for their evil plans. They are desiccated old crooks who've already hollowed out their own capacity to perpetrate the crimes they envision.

Essentially, there is many a slip between cup and lip for tyranny. If they cannot stop dope from being produced, they cannot stop people from growing food effectively. Learn to grow food. Become resilient because ultimately if things go to shit, survivors survive bad times because if nothing else, you can live to revenge yourself on those who put you in the dark place.

Its a reason, but our elite masters forgot all about that, as seen by the fact that Turkey and Russia had to cobble together a local truce to allow any grain to get out of Ukraine this year at all.

Then the Ukrainians used the safe corridor to try and strike at the Russian navy which mostly failed, and Turkey had to patch things up again because the West can't be trusted.

Malthus lived just before the agricultural revolution got fully underway, and just before the end of the English corn laws that prohibited importation of cheaper European wheat.
The ag revolution began with Jethro Tull, but it didn't get into swing until about 1800, pushed by warfare, and population pressures made possible by incremental improvements up to that time.

One caveat here is the official numbers for how many have gotten the clot shot and boosters is most likely false.

In *BOSTON* they elected a new mayor that put in a clot shot mandate to go to restaurants. The claimed clot shot rate in Boston was 90% and the state as a whole around 80%.

She rolled it back in a week after the Boston restaurant owners told her they were about to go bankrupt.

The two go hand in hand.

This ain't the old days. As a collective people, we have no king, no country and no G-d we share. We have no identity. ALL we have to tie us together is the shared love of comfort and prosperity, like pigs at a trough.

Without it, everything breaks apart. If you can't feed the pigs, you have to kill the pigs. And if you can't kill the pigs, they'll feed on you. Constant, indefatigable policing and killing is the only thing that can make their vision work. And so it will be. But they don't have the fucking nerve or wherewithal to keep it up for long.

473 @304 So..there's a decent chance that the protests in China right now are part of a color revolution.

----

The CCP has reportedly been claiming that (among other bits and bobs of smokescreen that they've been throwing out to obscure what's going on). But this shows every indication of just being a lot of frustration suddenly boiling to the surface after a few too many straws were added to the camel's back.

People are getting pissed off about the COVID lockdowns. People have died because they were trapped in their apartments due to the lockdowns. And despite the government censorship, news about some of those deaths has gotten out and started circulating. Then there was the Foxconn mess. And people becoming aware (in good part due to the World Cup) that most of the world isn't really worrying about COVID anymore.

And finally, not only has Xi Jinping overthrown the safeguards that Deng Xioping put in place to prevent another Mao, but a lot of old timers in China are starting to see signs that Xi might be on the verge of starting a new Cultural Revolution.

These protests are organic.

The color revolutions weren't popular revolts, just coups run by intel services despite any later spin by the media. So if our services are working it, and they have enough CCP on board to take out Xi, it could work fine.

I seriously doubt it. China is too important to play those games, and while the US government is not uniformly anti-China it certainly isn't uniformly pro-China, either.

Xi has been oppressive as hell over the past two years, the economy is faltering, housing is in crisis, banking is in crisis, there's an energy crisis and the internal problems are building up. It could be authentic. I am not sure of anything, of course, but it could be organic - and if it, the bloodshed is probably going to be remarkable as Xi cracks down.

506 Let us assume that we beleive that the world is going to be destroyed by climate catastrophe very soon unless we change our ways. Let us then assume as well that human civilization up to this point has been characterized by brutal oppression by white people, especially males, and that the only way to stop and reverse this is to remove said culture. And let us then finally assume that capitalism is an evil oppressive force that is always bad, and the only way to stop that is with more government power and socialism.

If you assume all that, then you believe, genuinely, that all of the steps the left are taking are good, beneficial, and benign, even if they are painful and difficult in the short run. Because you think by reversing these evil things you will bring about an Avatar-like natural utopia of equal sharing and no sad people anywhere.

These people THINK they are doing good and right, even while doing evil. They think they are helping us out of our own blind stupidity, by force if necessary.

In the Baha'i Faith, which believes in equality of the sexes, women can be elected to any level of governance EXCEPT to the highest council. Only men can be elected to that.
When asked about this policy, the son (or grandson?) of the founder said something like "One day the reason will be as clear as the sun."
I think we're getting close to that day.

533 Xi has been oppressive as hell over the past two years, the economy is faltering, housing is in crisis, banking is in crisis, there's an energy crisis and the internal problems are building up. It could be authentic. I am not sure of anything, of course, but it could be organic - and if it, the bloodshed is probably going to be remarkable as Xi cracks down.

534 The fu*king well heeled will always be eating beef, lobster, exotic game and anything else they desire with their reservations and/or connections to dining. Stopped in Charlottesville, VA months ago & a popular chicken-related fast food establishment had no food and one employee. Other fast food establishments were out of several menu items, short on staff. There was lovely dining in town, with connections and/or reservations, and for a price.) Same this past week in the Williamsburg area with the exception of "family" op. establishments & some chain restaurants, both of which were trying to stay open and draw business. Now after C-19, such places are not easily affordable for many families, seniors, etc. but the fast food and coffee shops operations were closed very early or, again, lacking menu items and help. (I also noticed the menus of the fast food operations often included some artificial proteins formed into something familiar, i.e., burgers, nuggets.)

What of the clean proteins needed for certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, esp. for children and seniors? Why is there a sudden proliferation of kidney dialysis & home healthcare businesses?

537 Despite Joe Mannix's excellent list (thanks for that, TJM), I think a significant segment of the Regime here is fully on board with Xi. Some seem not to be. I would like to think John Kirby won't criticize China, to cite one example, because there is a plan to topple the government there and the United States has to be seen as neutral in the interim. The reality is some people are feeding at the trough, and some people want to feed at the trough.

Like everything else, or regime has no consistent policy on anything. The faction that likes Trumps acts has been able to keep them, while the diplomatic corps has managed on several occasions has managed to insult or piss off Xi by accident or on purpose. Pelosi flying to Taiwan was a blunder, and the government there just got turfed out by the people for it.

Masks are an indication to others of some sort of issue. It *could* be mental, or the wearer could actually give a fvck about other people and wish to subdue the outflow of particulate matter to others. Don't be such a dipshit.

Better yet, try this experiment. Go outside with a cigarette at night. No mask. Inhale then exhale. With a flashlight look at how far the particles travel. Then put a mask on and repeat. They stay close to the face. They're still around but they travel nowhere as far.
