Tommy Callahan Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 8 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: You do realize the USA exports nearly $200 billion of agricultural commodities every year. I guess we should ban those? You'll be real popular in Iowa. You have seen how small farms are almost non existent to get to that point. They see what's going to happen. And we won't even get into the ties to corporate farming and the weight issue in the west. They don't have that so much where it's still washed seeds in small farms.

B-Man Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 It continues: Polish Farmer: “Everything was peaceful and suddenly the police came out of nowhere, there were loud bangs, the police started using gas and simply provoking people…” As Polish farmers struggle with police, Czech farmers drop manure in Prague as part of a new round of protests. by Leslie Eastman Just before I left on my vacation, demonstrations by farmers across Europe had made an impact, as the European Parliament nixed some of its unrealistic green plans for a global utopia. Gone, for example, are rules to force the reduction of nitrogen (essential for fertilizers) and methane (generated by cattle) and plans to persuade European citizens to eat less meat. At least for now. Protests are continuing, and in Poland, there are reports that farmers clashed with police. Police used tear gas and said they detained over a dozen people and prevented the protesters from getting through to the Sejm, the Polish parliament. Farmers are angry over European Union climate policies and food imports from Ukraine that they say threaten their livelihoods. Such protests have occurred across the 27-member EU in recent weeks, but this one was decidedly angrier than earlier demonstrations in the central European nation. Police noted on the social media platform X that its officers “are not a party to the ongoing dispute” and warned that behavior threatening their safety “cannot be taken lightly and requires a firm and decisive response.” The deputy agriculture minister, Michał Kołodziejczak, said he didn’t believe that “real, normal farmers caused a riot in front of the Sejm today,” and that it was necessary to isolate “provocateurs and troublemakers.” However, representatives for the protesting farmers dispute the official accounts. https://legalinsurrection.com/2024/03/polish-farmer-everything-was-peaceful-and-suddenly-the-police-came-out-of-nowhere-there-were-loud-bangs-the-police-started-using-gas-and-simply-provoking-people/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
