The un-elected EU “Leaders” are attempting to eliminate farming, adding taxation and onerous regulations, so they can destroy farmland with windmills and solar panels. Then, they can import cheaper food from abroad, and have the entire population under their thumb, dependent on foreigners for their very lives, owning no property and eliminating centuries of agrarian tradition.
Right now, in multiple EU countries, those farmers and their supporters are stating, in no uncertain terms, that they will not sit still to be destroyed. They have found some very creative ways of making their opinions known.
Forget about farmers? They are making it pretty difficult in France!
Making use of an inexhaustible natural resource for farmers.
And in the Netherlands:
This was taking place in 2024!
Read the post above, and the comments, since there is new information on what is taking place today. Next, here is an EU bureaucrat’s response to what the farmers are doing.
The EU needs to fall, but only the People of the EU countries can make that happen.
And, back in England which exited from the EU:
What did I tell you? Proof below too.
Back in February above. More recently below.
It’s not just the farmers protesting in London.
It appears that the People of the EU and Britain are not going to go quietly when their governments sell them out to foreign and barbarian interests. We should keep a careful eye on what is happening across the pond, because our bureaucrats here in the US want the same for us. We, however, have a big advantage over the people of Europe when our government is against us. We are armed, and prepared to use our arms to retain Liberty to defend the American Republic.
And one Final Word from Europe.
BREAKING: EUROPEAN FARMERS SEND A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE — FROM THE FRONT LINE
Not from parliaments. Not from studios. From the fields. Tonight, across parts of Europe, farmers delivered one of the most powerful political images of the year — not with slogans or riots, but with hundreds of tractors lit up like Christmas trees, rolling together in silent formation.
The message was simple. And impossible to ignore: “Merry Christmas from the farmers.” No speeches. No violence. Just light, engines, and presence.
A PROTEST THAT DOESN’T NEED WORDS This was not a celebration organized by governments or corporations. It came from the same farmers who, for months, have been blocking roads, entering capitals, and warning that EU policies are pushing agriculture to the edge. Tonight, they chose a different tone — but not a different meaning.
Behind the lights stand unresolved realities: •rising costs •falling margins •regulations written far from fields •farmers treated as a problem, not as providers The lights don’t hide the protest. They underline it. “NO FARMERS — NO FOOD” The slogan attached to the video has already gone viral, reaching hundreds of thousands within hours. And it cuts through the noise because it states a truth no policy can cancel: You can import ideology.
You can outsource industry. But you cannot outsource food without consequences. WHY THIS MATTERS This moment lands at a sensitive time.
While political elites speak of “green transitions” and “strategic autonomy,” the people who actually feed Europe are signaling that they are done being ignored. This is not extremism. This is not rebellion for rebellion’s sake. This is a warning wrapped in Christmas lights. A QUIET MESSAGE TO POWER Farmers didn’t shout tonight. They didn’t burn tires. They didn’t block cities. They simply showed up — together — and reminded Europe who keeps the lights on every other day of the year. And that may be the most unsettling protest of all. ⸻
Here’s the X post, expand for the Christmas Cheer.

The problem is that they have been voting for the people who did this for years. Are they going to vote differently at the next election? And who, exactly, would they vote for? Labour is doing it now, the Conservatives did it before, and Farage’s party is “racist”, and the significant import population will vote for this, diluting the votes of the actual English/French people. I don’t see this getting better.

Is European leadership fragmented or merely deranged? European and German leaders are talking up preparing to fight a war against Russia by 2030, or possibly earlier. In peacetime, sovereign actors can make economic calculations of which market segments to produce and which to import. During wartime, how can you think you can depend on importation of foodstuffs if the shipping lanes have been shut down? During wartime, a condition could quickly be reached where a nation cannot feed its citizens, even by trading with neighbor countries. Instead of cutting back agricultural production during peacetime, countries apprehensive of perhaps facing military conflicts in the future ought to concentrate on ensuring the health and productivity of their agricultural sector to be able to feed their own citizens and close allies. If you think you can prepare for war without making sure you can feed yourself, your leaders are putting your counties on a path to suicide. An unscrutable elite could very well elect to cull their political enemies internally en mass, using food or military (or even health) emergencies as a pretext. I’m sure you can think of many examples where this has played out. Many examples occurred in Communist counties. I don’t think we’re beyond thinking this could happen in the west, give the current derangement of leaders in both the EU and the UK.
