You will likely hear the term “farm subsidies” as Western media claim the German farmers are protesting the decisions by government. However, what they are protesting is not a hand-out of government funds, but rather the addition/increase of taxes for diesel fuel and farming equipment.
The planned eight-day countrywide protests by agricultural workers began today. The actions include motorway blockades and are described by the head of the farmers’ association as “the like of which the country has never experienced before.” The government is planning to increase taxes on Diesel fuel and farm equipment as part of the German “Build Back Better” climate agenda.
Additionally, you might remember the Canadian “trucker protests,” when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his left-wing government tried to deflect attention from the justified motive of the truckers by claiming they were Nazis and part of the right-wing extremist conspiracy to destroy government. Well, that same approach is taking place in Germany with government officials claiming the German farmers are backed by right-wing Nazis.
BERLIN, Jan 8 (Reuters) – German farmers kicked off a week of nationwide protests against subsidy cuts on Monday, blocking roads with tractors and piling misery on Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition as it struggles to fix a budget mess and contain rising far-right forces.
Convoys of tractors and trucks gathered on roads in sub-zero temperatures in nearly all 16 federal states, while protesters clashed with police and leading politicians warned that the unrest could be co-opted by extremists.
The protests have forced Scholz’s unpopular government into a tricky balancing act, trying to keep a lid on the unrest while sticking to fiscal discipline after a constitutional court ruling in November threw its spending plans into disarray.
“No beer without farmers,” read one protest banner, while another tractor had a poster from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party that read “Our farmers come first.”
Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, whose return from holiday last week was disrupted by furious farmers trying to storm the ferry he was on, warned in a video message on Monday that farmers’ right to protest could be exploited by fringe groups.
“Calls are circulating with coup fantasies, extremist groups are forming and ethnic-nationalist symbols are being openly displayed,” said Habeck. (read more)
According to the German government, the farmers are revolting…
Investors Daily Business wrote this in 2015. The Earth makes oil the more we pump the more it generates.
This information backs up the idea that Earth is actually an oil-producing machine. We call energy sources such as crude oil and natural gas fossil fuels based on the assumption that they are the products of decaying organisms, maybe even dinosaurs themselves. But the label is a misnomer. Research from the last decade found that hydrocarbons are synthesized abiotically.Things are so good, in fact, that Engineering and Technology says “with the use of the innovative technologies, available fossil fuel resources could increase from the current 2.9 trillion barrels of oil equivalent to 4.8 trillion by 2050, which is almost twice as much as the projected global demand.” That number could even reach 7.5 trillion barrels if technology and exploration techniques advance even faster.
It always comes down to this: how fast is the Earth replacing what we’ve taken out?
The “fossil fuel” theory for oil is ridiculous. Perhaps for coal, but not oil. The abiotic theory has been used by Russian oil companies with mixed results for exploration, but it makes more sense than anything else.
What convinced me was the discovery of propane on one of Saturn’s moons. There’ve been no signs of life on that distant rock at any time in history, so where did the propane hydrocarbons come from? Answer: abiotic generation. And if the process works there, it works on Earth, too.
Fossil fuel theory is just another big con to drive up prices and fuel profits.
Fossil Fuel is a fabrication to promote the idea of scarcity to drive up value.
While the origins are indeed abiotic, they weren’t produced on earth, they accreted along with all the other materials that formed the earth; oil has always been part of earth.
This book will blow your paradigm, even about the origins of life!
The Deep Hot Biosphere: The Myth Of Fossil Fuels
Methane is one of the most abundant elements in the universe. There is no shortage of hydrocarbons on earth.
THANK YOU for bringing this up. The term “fossil” fuels is totally incorrect and misrepresents geology itself. While coal has evidence of fossilized trees, oil is not from millions of stacked and squeezed dinosaurs. It’s a total lie.
Speaking of fossils, we have a fossil faux president in the occupied white house.
To paraphrase Han Solo….where did the democRATs dig up that old fossil ?!?!
Har!
I never bought the’ fossil fuel’ explanation for petroleum and methane. Neither the chemistry nor the thermodynamics of methane, propane, and heavier hydrocarbons makes any damned sense. The abundance of methane, ammonia, and other (supposedly biological) constituents of the outer planets of our own solar system provide abundant reasons to suspect and disregard the ‘fossil fuels’ explanation.
I don’t pretend to know the ‘truth’, but I can certainly smell the odor of a great big lie.
The lie goes ‘way back’.
Hydrocarbon compounds need in no way to be biological residuals. They are much more likely to be primordial products, generated over very long intervals, of unknown antecedents, and of yet-unknowable supply.
F the NWO and WEF. They have much smarter minds than I have, but they are lying to us all.
Study and try to understand the enigma of the Gulf of Mexico.
That asteroid – or whatever it was – scoured down to (or perilously near to) the Mohorovicic discontinuity. The Gulf bottom is full of oil, and it leaks like a sieve to this day. The waters of the Gulf of Mexico teem with petroleum scavenging microflora – hence the near absence of devastating oil release effects from the Ixtoc and Deepwater Horizon events. The voracious bugs largely consumed the released oil.
No call for complacency here, but our resident ‘experts’ aren’t experts at all. They either don’t know what they were talking about or they did know better and lied to all of us.
Grrrrr.
Hammersdad
That speaks to the core of the environmental movement, a belief in lack and a lack of faith that the Creator does indeed provide abundance of resources for all of his creation.
Faithlessness breeds hopelessness, the very foundation of Leftist energies.
And right now there is a huge push for being worried and feeling hopeless.
Live your best life…
Rejoice, this is the day the Lord has made….
Rejoice everyday, he makes them all!
The Lord said that He wanted the whole earth inhabited. Should the human race followed God, there would have been plenty of provision no matter how many inhabitants. Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Water is the most abundant liquid on the planet, oil is the second most abundant liquid on the planet. If not oil, then what?
I am pretty sure the term “Fossil fuel” was coined by a newsman a long time ago.
Promoted by one of the early oil barons, John D. Rockefeller, apparently first conceived by a German chemist.
Search the term and you will be in Leftist fact check hell.
Seems this whole energy thing is central to their seizure of the planet and its peoples . . .
Maurice Strong from Canada started this con at the UN years ago.
Yes and many other globalists. Excellent 1992 book exposes the sham using the environment as the catalyst to unite the world.
~Global Tyranny … Step by Step ~ The United Nations & the Emerging NWO: by William F. Jasper~ http://www.e-reading.club/bookreader.php/141329/Global_Tyranny_Step_By_Step.pdf
And the global elitists want ALL 7.5 trillion barrels of oil, as well as ALL the money in the world, ALL to themselves.
I’ve always believed that the earth continually produces oil and natural gas. They used to try to tell us that we are running out. BS!
While finite, it is vast, and many reservoirs will refill from below.
We have enough for a thousand years, far more than enough time to perfect clean fission and fusion and the technologies to easily produce boutique liquid hydrocarbon fuels tailored to the intended use.
Leftists are founded on hopelessness.
Along with arrogance and stupidity.
Correct and, sadly , so few people know this. It’s absolutely insane how anybody could believe that carbon and CO2 bad for the environment and have to be eliminated. Humans and all the animals are carbon based life forms and without CO2 there are no plants and if there are no plants there is no life. It’s not about the planet, it’s about control.
CO2- The Gas of Life, God’s Gift to planet Earth
And right now, it is at its lowest level that it has ever been.
0.004% is less than 1/2 of 1%, that is very low!
150 Million years from carbon starvation of all life on earth.
My car IS saving the planet, the only other way to recarbonizing the atmosphere is an unsurvivable sustained widespread volcanic event.
If you follow their agenda to it’s logical conclusion, we are the carbon they want to eliminate!
Programming. The more often they say it, the more ingrained it gets at the knee-jerk level. Fossil fuels. Far Right. Could spend all day making a list.
EU produces environmental/political BS 3x that rate, all praise St. Greta lol
Oil does not come from dinosaurs. It is abiotic. Trump is right when he says we have massive liquid gold under our feet. Yes, the earth produces abiotic hydrocarbons below the surface. The Russians have known this for decades. It is just easier to extract in some places more than others.
Please listen to new Tucker Carlson interview with Dr Willie Soon who explains all of this in detail 1/10/2023. His facts are astounding…..31+ years at Harvard Center of Astrophysics
Right on Germany!
It’s our time.
This is a great interview
As a fellow farmer all I can say is “Your damn right we’re revolting”

Grew up on a farm in the 60s, can still remember Dad grumbling about taxes, guvmint-says-can’t-do-this-or-that, one thing on top of another. All the time working on the thinnest expectations of payback, at the mercy of weather, markets, whims of society, the moon……
German farmers find Western Governments revolting….
I came across a report about Berlin supermarkets.
“Niels Busch-Petersen, the director-general of the Berlin-Brandenburg trade association, stated, “Hundreds of Berlin supermarkets will not receive supplies tomorrow. Unless the situation suddenly changes, we have to assume that shelves could remain empty tomorrow.”
“Simultaneously, German officials express frustration with farmers who did not register their strikes in advance.
“Currently supermarket shelves in Berlin and its outskirts are already rapidly emptying. The situation is poised to worsen significantly when this coincides with the panic among local residents.”
The author of this short piece seems to feel that perhaps Germany considers another 8 billion Euros is more crucial to send to Kiev, than providing tax breaks for its farmers.
Since when did farmers have to register strikes in advance? Maybe they all came down with the,….covid.😉😉
I was thinking the same. Almost as bad as needing permission to go to the bathroom. Reediculous.
Just wait for the Nazi’s in Ukraine to come up to Germany and start some covert ops. They can’t beat the Russians but I bet they can send Germany into a tail slide.
If they are worried about empty shelves now just wait until they’ve completely shut down farming in Germany.
Funny, the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) or Nazi party were socialists and viciously antisemitic. It says Socialist in the name, so you do what it says on the box. They all spring from the same poisoned well of Marx.
Though the socialists at wikipedia claim the Nazi’s were on the right, in the 1930’s they took over the means of production and bear more than a passing resemblance to the current Democrat party in the USA. All of the central planners have the same limited playbook, accuse your political rival of what you are actively doing.
Godspeed, farmers. Get some!
Wikipedia is so wrong almost all of the time one cannot believe any propaganda from that site.
Exactly right. And even beyond words, term definitions, the mechanics and physicalities of Nazism were a 100% parallel to what the LEFTISTS want to do about people like you and me, and everything we stand for.
To a NWO Marxist, is there such thing as a left wing extremist?
Ahhh … nope!
Memories of a recent past demonstration! Coming to a country near you? Sometimes ya gotta keep driving that point home.
Ah yes, the good ole we’ll “build back” by dynamiting the foundations of our economy.
I expect the the money to be p**ed away and nothing of value built.
Flatten Freedom First.
God Bless the farmers.
“claiming the German farmers are backed by right-wing Nazis.”
No doubt some of whom are being secretly financed by TPTB to do so. Tiki torches, anyone?
I’ve always found government to be revolting…
What sane gov’t or gov’t that cares at all about its people or nation would continue to support the legal and illegal importation of “immigrants” like this? Demographically the Muslim is right. The “indigenous” Danes, Dutch etc. will soon be a minority.
Biden has broken all records at this insanity but the real effects are not yet felt by most Americans.
How long will Denmark survive with a Muslim majority?
Not long.
“You might remember the Canadian “trucker protests,” when PM Trudeau and his left-wing government tried to deflect attention from the justified motive of the truckers by claiming they were Nazis….” I definitely remember!
Not surprisingly, Eva Vlaardingerbroek the magnificent anti Globalist “Dutch Shieldmaiden” is fully involved in this German farm protest.
I love Eva, that young lady is amazing, she is tough and smart on her feet. I hope Geert hires her as an advisor, or cabinet member, or something.
Me too. And I was shocked, then disgusted, then afraid, then prepared. That’s what our Mother WEF’er did for me… and for many others. God bless him and keep him, forever, amen.
Bleib starke bitte! Mein herz ist mit Die.
Here’s a link to all the places in Germany where the protests will be.
COMMENT: Dear Mr Armstrong
Happy New Year to you and your team from Germany. Just in case you didn‘t already know, tomorrow at 11 am is a nationwide general strike supposed to be happening as a protest to the policy of the recent government. They set up a map on GoogleMaps showing all events and where they take place, accessible under this link:

Thanks for speaking the truth
Erik
REPLY: Yes. It will be an important event. Feel free to send photos.

I watched the movie about Mr. Armstrong and the absolutely stunning persecution he suffered at the hands of a New York Judge.
They did to him what they are doing to President Trump. Such arrogance from a State is beyond words. I though Illinois was corrupt.
Too bad Americans aren’t tuff anymore.
I’m so tired of hearing and reading stupid sayings like “these colors don’t run”
Or land of the free because of the brave.
Americans have become the biggest bunch of pussies on this planet.
Land of weak men.
All those farmers protesting are experiencing costs to their equipment, time away from production, and other incidental expenses to be protesting. IOW, making a point is costing them money.
Americans love their money. A lot. Farmers? Among the most frugal of customers I ever serviced. They chiseled me on everything and wanted it in the middle of the night. They’d sooner piss the money away at Reno or Vegas then go protest, at least those I interacted with for decades in my business. Not an indictment, just real experience. And farmers aren’t unique.
My statement still stand. Americans are weak.
Looks like Canada and Truckers. Watch what happens. The same WEF/Globalists are pulling the strings here in reaction that pulled the strings and froze the bank accounts in Canada. And will be the same people doing this to us when we finally get really pissed.
Sundance’s advice about getting in harmony with God, loving our people, carrying the message, and throwing sand in the machinery is correct. We just need to get better at all of it, and fast.
It just ain’t working out the way the globalists planned it.
Thank God someone’s standing up against this bullshit.
Climate Change is a hoax. The climate is always changing. The idea that CO2 is destructive makes no sense. All living plants require CO2. Reduce CO2 and you reduce plant life on earth. Reduce plant life on earth and you reduce animal life on earth. Reduce plant and animal life on earth and you reduce human life on earth.
The enemy of the climate change hoaxers is human beings: us. That is who they want to get rid of.
Farmers, outstanding in their fields…
Ich bin ein Bauer.
Maybe if all the farmers in Germany stopped delivering anything to suppliers and stores the people would see that without farmers the country starves. If they can’t stop all deliveries they need to stop deliveries that would go to a politician if possible.
“… far-right forces”….. How often do the MSM use the term “far-left”? Have we EVER heard those two words spoken together by the braying corporate media dogs?
Go Farmers!!!
F these Crap Weasels
European globalist socialist shtleftists are going to get their ‘blaues wunder’. Time to scrap the EU
The world’s governments are raising taxes at astronomical rates to normal good citizens for most dubious reasons, i.e. climate change. Th world needs another TEA PARTY to happen. What this means is it will take physical action to do so. Arrest the leaders, take their money for their treason and prosecute them to the highest, death perhaps. This means arrest very powerful, wealthy people in high places of government, WEF, etc. Power to the People! Viva the Democratic Republic!
Leftist socialist call protestIng victims of leftist socialist theft NAZIS 🤪
I have to laugh when I read or hear the term, ‘right-wing Nazis’. It’s even funnier when Germans try to float this lie – Nazis were/are socialists, national socialists as a matter of fact. The National Socialist Democratic Workers Party (The NSDAP was the name of Hitler’s party. The German pronunciation of the word National is Nazi-onal). When business collaborates with the party, the collective is known as fascism. The continuum runs from left to right, collectivist to individualist. From what I know of farming, it consists of rugged individualists who assume personal responsibility for the success of their farms, with God’s help of course. Will the left never tire of projection.
I hope this helps to clarify, rather than confuse.
