Watch: Police Open Fire on ‘Threatening’ Dutch Farmer Protest
Police in The Netherlands fired gunshots at Dutch farmers who were protesting the implementation of EU-based climate rules on the emissions of nitrogen that threaten the livelihoods of thousands.
On Tuesday evening, police fired what they said were warning and “targeted” shots at a farmer’s protest in Heerenveen in the north of the country. The Friesland police claimed a “threatening situation” had ensued after protesters allegedly tried to drive through the line of police and law enforcement vehicles, necessitating the use of firearms.
The incident, footage of which was widely shared on social media, did not result in any injuries, though three protesters were arrested and one tractor was hit with a bullet, the local De Telegraaf newspaper reported.
The National Criminal Investigation Service (Rijksrecherch) said that an investigation into the incident will be conducted as a result of officers discharging their weapons.
The use of force by the police was condemned by the Farmers’ protest group Agractie, which questioned if “people had to die first” before the government comes to the table to negotiate with the farmers, adding that the situation could have turned out much worse.
ACP police union representative Maarten Brink said that it was unclear from the footage posted on social media what had necessitated the firing of gunshots, saying police officers “never just grab” their weapons without reason.
At the heart of the dispute and the protest is the decision of the left-wing coalition government of Prime Minister Mark Rutte to impose green agenda standards laid out by the European Commission.
Under the EU’s Natura 2000 network, which designates vulnerable habitats for both animals and plants, the bloc mandates that the 27 member states “must ensure that the sites are managed in a sustainable manner, both ecologically and economically.”
In order to fulfil that mandate, the Dutch government has announced plans to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions produced by livestock by 50 per cent by 2030. Last month, the government described the move as an “unavoidable transition,” saying that it will seek to reduce emissions close to protected areas by between 70 and 95 per cent. It has been estimated that as much as 30 per cent of livestock farms could be shut down.
The Dutch farmers, for their part, have claimed that other EU nations are not acting as zealously to fulfil the requirements and therefore they are being put at an unfair disadvantage. Agriculture plays a key role in the economy of The Netherlands, with the LTO national farming lobbying group estimating the industry accounts for 54,000 businesses throughout the country and produced 94.5 billion euros in exports in 2019.
The protests, in which large tractors have been used to shut down roads and other key areas of infrastructure, have not only led to clashes with police but have also resulted in food shortages at supermarkets across the country at a time in which inflation and food prices have already been soaring due to the aftermath of COVID lockdowns and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a major food supplier.
On Wednesday, the protests continued, with farmers deploying their tractors to Groningen Airport.
France: 6 months imprisonment without parole for defending his house against criminals
On Monday July 4, a 25-year-old man stood before the criminal court in Saint-Brieuc. What was he accused of? He had defended his house against two intruders who had occupied his ground floor balcony in the centre of St-Brieuc, after they had previously insulted his girlfriend.
The two, who were known to the police as criminals, were “celebrating” the release of a colleague from prison and had decided to occupy the young man’s balcony, as they were forbidden to have any contact with the former inmate. So they had knowingly broken the rules.
When the female tenant of the flat asked them to leave, they did not do so, but insulted her. Her partner then interfered and asked them to leave before, as they did not listen to him, he returned with a combat knife and threatened one of the two offenders. Effective because the persons left the place….and had the impertinence to go to the police station to lodge a complaint against him for violence with weapons.
The police arrested the man who had asked the two perpetrators to leave the place. On May 27, he was taken to court, where he expressed outrage and refused the punishment proposed by the judge, whereupon he was imprisoned….
At the hearing on July 4, his violent and associative personality as well as his previous convictions were mentioned. The “victims” among the offenders did not even appear. The prosecutor explained: “I find it hard to imagine that the plaintiff, who is difficult to call a victim because he is well known to the judiciary, behaved like a lamb that night… We could not conduct a neighbourhood interview because all the neighbours are afraid of reprisals if they say anything…”.
However, the court sentences the man, who defended his girlfriend and his house, to six months in prison without parole, six months on probation, but also to a care and work obligation and to maintain his imprisonment.
Leaving aside the background of the convict, the message of French justice is simple: if riffraff occupy your balcony, insult and threaten your wife or children, and you intervene violently, you will be convicted. Can this still be called justice in the name of the people and for the people?

Algerian migrant dressed as clown accused of sexually assaulting French woman on ghost train fairground ride
A woman riding the ghost train at a fair in the Saint-Germain-en-Laye commune in France was sexually assaulted by an Algerian migrant dressed as a clown, according to police.
The woman was riding the ghost train ride at 1:30 a.m. on July 3 at the Fête des Loges, billed as the largest fair in France. As her wagon entered the labyrinth area of the ride, a clown reached out and grabbed her, and began to grope her breasts, “caressing them incessantly,” as the woman described to the police.
At the end of the ride, the clown then taunted the victim as she told a number of relatives that he had sexually assaulted her. The management and staff at the attraction defended the employee. The woman and the relatives went to the police, who placed the 27-year-old Bachir S., who was born in Algeria, under arrest.
It remains unclear why the employee was dressed as a clown and whether his outfit was a part of the ride.
Although France does not keep any crime statistics based on ethnicity, certain studies have found a serious crime problem in communities with high numbers of migrants. Furthermore, France’s public train networks found that 63 percent of those arrested for sexual assault and 92 percent for petty theft in public transport were foreigners
The fair where the sexual assault took place will be running until Aug. 15. This is the first recorded sexual assault on the premises since the event began running this year.
Most popular UK baby name of 2022 revealed: Muhammad
For boys’ names in particular, there was little change in the top spots, with Muhammad and Noah clinging to first and second place.
However Oliver, which had solidly occupied third place for several years, dropped down the list while Jack soared to take its place.
Freddie and Harry also fell out of the top 10 while Ethan and Oscar climbed up the ranks to occupy eighth and ninth place.
For the first time since 2015 a new name took over the top spot for girls’ names, with previous number one Olivia dropping down to third place.
Lily claimed the top spot instead, followed by Sophia in second.

British Triathlon becomes first body to ban all transgender women from competing in female events
British Triathlon has become the first sports governing body to implement an outright ban on transgender athletes from participating in competitive female triathlon events.
The body announced its intention to amend its men’s category to “open,” inviting transgender women who were biologically born and developed as males to compete alongside male athletes.
In a statement published on Wednesday, the federation revealed it had amended its transgender policy “following a period of consultation to ensure that it reflects the needs of our sport, protects fairness in competition and serves our desire to make triathlon truly inclusive.”
It explained that its Female Category for all athletes over the age of 12 will be reserved for those “who are the female sex at birth,” while the newly announced Open Category will cater for “all individuals including male, transgender, and those non-binary who were male sex at birth.”
“We concluded that triathlon is a gender-affected sport and that means that athletes who were born male have an advantage over athletes who were born female, and this advantage is significant in swim, bike and run,” said British Triathlon chief executive Andy Salmon. “We also concluded that physiological advantages are retained by testosterone suppression,” he added.
The announcement follows the decision taken by FINA, swimming’s world governing body, who last month barred all transgender women from female swimming competitions if they had experienced any part of male puberty, and the International Cycling Union (UCI), which tightened restrictions on transgender eligibility by doubling the time that must elapse before a man undergoing gender reassignment can compete against cisgender females.
The moves will impact the careers of transgender Lia Thomas and Emily Bridges, a U.S. swimmer and British cyclist, respectively, who have been appealing the crackdown.
Tommy Robinson on War Room: “Anyone who Goes against the Narrative Will Be Silenced”
Australians urged not to charge their electric cars
The world is plagued by record high energy and fuel prices at the same time as energy supply is becoming increasingly strained. It can be seen not least in the southern hemisphere where winter now reigns. At the same time, the globalists’ mandatory “green” change is taking place all over the world, which has created and is driving the energy crisis and the now rampant inflation.
Governments around the world are being admonished by globalists in order to avoid an alleged climate catastrophe in the form of global warming. This is despite the fact that the earth’s average temperature is now falling and harvests around the world are being decimated by increasingly colder weather.
In Greenland, climate alarmists had warned, the ice would melt. Instead, once again, they are experiencing record volumes of snow and ice.
Australian leaders are now urging the already hard-pressed population not to charge their electric cars. This is due to the ongoing energy crisis, which has affected the whole world but especially Western countries. The authorities demand through warnings, which are sent out several times a week, that the population reduce their use of electricity. However, it is already so expensive that most people are doing everything in their power to limit their electricity consumption.
Some people in South Australia are said to be freezing in their own homes, as they cannot afford heating. The winter, which now prevails in the southern hemisphere, is unusually cold this year in Australia, South America and southern Africa. A record amount of early snow in Australia allowed many ski resorts to open several weeks earlier than usual, while other resorts were surprised during renovation or preparation work and now cannot open at all due to the huge masses of snow.
Argentina has seen over half a century old cold records broken in recent weeks and many other countries are experiencing the same thing.
The warning that Australians receive is that poor compliance with the authorities’ order to save electricity will lead to power outages. The outages can be planned to save electricity or unplanned due to congestion. Some Australians have perceived it as almost blackmail. The fact that Australia is the largest coal exporter in the world, while the population suffers from energy shortages, has made many Australians furious. Anger is not alleviated by the fact that regardless of the record high electricity price and severe energy crisis, the authorities continue to prioritize “green conversion” where at least 80 percent of all energy in Australia must be renewable by 2030.
The rulers of the Western powers demand that their populations save energy. The EU urges us to heat or cool our homes less, to work from home, to drive less and not at all on Sundays. In Germany, people are urged to shower less and the system media has published articles with headlines such as “It is enough to wash these four body parts”. In Sweden, they have been advised not to vacuum when it is cold.
It is seldom said outright that it is for the sake of the climate, but claims that it will in some way punish Russia and its President Vladimir Putin – even though it is the peoples of Europe who have suffered.
EU Commissioner Margrethe Vestager personally went out and called on Europeans, including Swedes, to “Control your own and your teenager’s showering, and when you turn off the water you say: There you got Putin!”
That we should stay at home, travel less, use less fuel and electricity, not eat meat and so on – whether it is due to an alleged Corona pandemic, climate threat or to “punish Putin” – is not up for debate. The diktats of the globalist powers now affect those who “did as they should” and bought an expensive electric car, at the urging of climate alarmists.
The call in Australia is not the only one that has recently hit electric car owners. In May, the electric car manufacturer Tesla went out and asked its American customers in the state of Texas, where the company’s headquarters recently moved, not to charge their electric cars under high load online between 3pm and 8pm. This is due to difficulties for the state in meeting electricity needs. It happens every time the weather is hot or – which has started to happen more and more often in recent years – unusually cold, as homes and businesses have to cool or heat their properties to a greater extent.
In February 2021, Texas (known for its deserts and western movies) was hit by a snowstorm where the temperature dropped to -19 degrees Celsius. The blizzard killed at least 246 people in Texas, many of whom froze to death.
Texas residents are just as annoyed as Australians, as the state is by far the largest oil producer in the United States with a share of 42,7 percent. However, it is “dirty and dangerous” energy.
Greenland’s ice cover is growing
Recent data from the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) revealed that Greenland’s melting ice has slowed down considerably over the past decade, and that the trend has now clearly turned, with the ice expanding.
The Greenland ice sheet has stabilized in recent years. Since 2016, an increase, so-called positive surface mass balance (Surface Mass Balance, SMB) has been measured.
The term SMB is used to indicate gain (positive) and loss (negative) of mass at the surface of the ice sheet. This includes ice melting, snowfall, freezing of meltwater and evaporation of snow (sublimation). Since 2016, daily and monthly records for this century have been set. Decades of reliable satellite measurements have made it possible to detect trends and thus trend breaks when they occur.
Nevertheless, the system media remain silent when the climate narrative is contradicted by nature itself.
Greenland, which is the world’s largest island, lost ice mass from around 1995 to 2012. This was used to the maximum by climate alarmists, who instead of pointing out natural fluctuations over time, claimed that it was due to global warming, which was said to be due to man-made carbon dioxide emissions. The lowest measurement point was made in 2012 and the trend for the SMB average (1986-2021) turned upwards in 2013. This without any new trend break in almost a decade. This growth trend will continue during the most recent season 2021/2022, where several measurement results for the ice cover have shown this time and time again. On Tuesday, June 14, a record-breaking positive SMB for June was published, of over 4 gigatons, which beat the SMB average for 1981-2010.
For thee but not for me…
Despite this clear trend, the establishment, their paid researchers and the media, have chosen to continue to report that “A previously unprecedented melting of the Greenland ice sheet is taking place”.
This is what Dagens PS wrote on 23 February and it continued: “The Greenland ice sheet is melting faster than previously thought, a new study shows. It can have major effects on sea level rise.” On June 15, they had another article entitled “The sea will engulf houses near the beach within 30 years.”
We also read that “within 30 years, 200 000 houses will be destroyed by sea level rise in the UK, according to a new study. The changes are impossible to avoid and will require that entire communities be moved.” PS also stated that “sea levels rising due to climate change is well known”.
For whom it is “well known” is never mentioned, but we can confidently state that it is not known by top politicians or climate alarmists since they have invested in beach properties. An example is the current climate scaremonger in the United States, John Kerry. Despite warnings of rising sea levels since 2014, he invested in a beach property that cost the equivalent of $11 million and moved into it in 2017.
Swedish television on May 26 reported that “the warming of the Arctic is going faster than expected”. Among other things, we learn that “in Greenland, hunters are forced to kill their sled dogs because the ice is no longer reliable to ride on”. This is despite the fact that the latest data from the European weather satellite organization European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) shows that the ice cover at the North Pole in May was the largest in three decades
It is quite evident that such climate panic is political, not scientific.
Hope wheat from Argentina is graveled
This massive disinformation campaign is misleading not only the public, but also political representatives. This can have serious consequences, especially as agriculture has been hit hard in the last four years by colder and wetter weather with a shorter growing season or destroyed crops as a result.
Timothy Ball, Canadian Professor of Climatology and Geography, commented on the prevailing narrative at the UN Climate Conference (COP14) in December 2008 in Poznan, Poland: “If we are at all facing [a crisis], then I think we are preparing for [global] warming, when it looks more like cooling. We’re preparing for the wrong thing.”
An example of this is Argentina, the largest wheat exporter in South America and the eighth largest (sixth if Russia and Ukraine are excluded) in the world. Instead of preparing the country and the farmers for cooler weather, they prioritize globalist agendas such as Agenda 2030. Now politicians are surprised to wonder why their harvests have decreased in recent years.
This is especially serious as there were high hopes among wheat-importing countries, especially those who had previously bought their wheat from Ukraine and Russia, that Argentina in particular could make up for the loss. However, these hopes were dashed when the sowing of winter wheat, just like the summer wheat in the northern hemisphere, was delayed by frost and unusual cold. Until June 8, only 30 percent of the land used for winter wheat had been planted and the previous drought combined with unusual cold has alarmed the country’s farmers.
Jeremias Battistoni, a market analyst at the Argentine agricultural consulting firm AZ Group, commented: “This year there will be fewer hectares planted with wheat and less use of fertilizer this season.”
This means not only much smaller wheat harvests, but also that many farmers choose other crops such as barley. For wheat production, it is as bad as when the thousands of farmers do not plant anything at all. However, the order books are already filled by wheat-hungry countries as if a normal harvest was to be expected later this year.
“About 90 percent of the exportable quota has already been filled, but only 30 percent of the crops have been planted… so there is a risk there,” the analyst warned.
Not only does this mean that Argentina will not be able to compensate for the global wheat shortage, which many had hoped for, but the large food producer will not even be able to cover existing orders. When Argentina cannot fill its export quota as intended, it not only increases the global deficit, but creates a domino effect; with increased pressure on other exporting countries, more restrictions or stops on exports, growing shortages and skyrocketing prices.
The world is now in the devastating negative spiral of worsening manure and food shortages and rampant inflation that we have been warning our readers about for over two years. This autumn, when the harvests around the world do not live up to expectations, we will enter the next phase… with food shortages, unsustainable prices for many, social unrest, violence and incipient starvation.
