The German farmers are not negotiating with a government who is supposed to represent their interests. No, the farmers are telling their elected officials what they will accept, and what they will not accept. And this approach has the German government in fits of apoplexy…. The farmers are revolting.
[Background Here] The second week of massive protests in the streets of Germany has the overwhelming majority of the people in support of the farmers. However, to show just how large the gap between the people and their government has become, the German officials think a process of negotiating terms is possible. The farmers are having none of that.
Really, this is awesome to see. The Dutch farmers are in full support and truckers from around the EU are aligned with the German farmers. The simple message is “enough is enough” and there are more EU interests that just the German government paying attention. Keep in mind, the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos began today.
GERMANY – Farmers clogged Berlin streets with their tractors on Monday, honking their horns in protest at a plan to scrap tax breaks on the diesel they use, the climax of a week of protests that has tapped into wider discontent with Germany’s government.
Columns of tractors rolled into the capital ahead of the demonstration at the landmark Brandenburg Gate. Over the past week, farmers have blocked highway entrances and slowed traffic across Germany with their protests, intent on pushing Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government to abandon the planned cuts entirely.
“Take back the proposed tax increases, then we’ll pull back,” said the chairman of the German Farmers’ Association, Joachim Rukwied. He said the demonstration sent a message to politicians that “too much is too much.”
“We are an important part of Germany — please don’t forget that,” he said.
Finance Minister Christian Lindner was greeted with boos, whistles and chants of “Get lost” as he defended the government’s revised plan. He conceded that the original proposal “was too much and it was too fast” and said the protests were legitimate and peaceful. (read more)

Awesome!
Right on Germany…USA next?
I sure hope so!
I just watched that fantastic clip of the German farmers.
”Uprising” by Muse! That song should be our anthem.
My heritage is German farmers. They could have been Danish as my great grandfather left extreme northern Germany as an 18yo in the 1880s when the Prussians took over that territory. Based on my last name I likely have Danish roots. He settled in NW Kansas as a homesteader who started out living in a sod house.
Don’t mess with farmers who go to the barn to feed their livestock at 5am in a blizzard.
The farmers are revolting… and the taxpayers, as well.
My German ancestors were “invited” to leave during that same period.
I’m grateful for that mighty blessing which resulted in having been born an American!
There’s a lot I don’t know. I figure my 18yo GGF didn’t wNy to serve in the Kaiser’s or Prussian army so he came to America as a stowaway, worked the railroads west u til he could homestead in Kansas. My knowledge of my family tree ends with him.
Soldier’s Mom, where were your ancestors from? North of Hannover, near the Elbe River?
One of mine came from Austria for the exact same reason.
What is to keep us for organizing a band of brothers and sisters, retired military descend on Davos. Soften the target a little, some flyover strafing. Who in the world (literally) likes these people and wants them to succeed? What are they doing to benefit the world? To benefit mankind?
What true benevolence to these Davos people truly have for the world that is not false “concern” for the environment, ecology, the “oppressed”, the “poor people”. Everything they do is about controlling the rest of the world and resulting more power and greed for themselves
Tyranny can’t succeed without the worker bees, all the average working people around the tyrants make it possible.
The Germans have been so patient with their crazy government for so long. I have been hoping for years that they will rise up and do something, because Germany is the keystone of Europe. Now, finally, “The Ents are walking.” I believe this protest is that meaningful. Hats off to the organizers, too, well done. I hope to see detailed reporting on the protests so the rest of us can do likewise.
Trudeau is an experienced dictator. He would have had the protest leaders and prominent supporters like Shieldmaiden Eva arrested and charged long ago with terrorism or other concocted crimes and their bank accounts would have been frozen and all assets seized.
However, the anger and frustration of the protesters in Germany et al is much higher than what Trudeau confronted. “His fight” was initially over a silly, unnecessary ban of unvaccinated truckers at the border.
This fight is much broader as it is a battle for survival for some in addition to freedom. Trudeau’s tactics here could start a civil war. Are the EU dictators ready to fight such a war?
Once enough dumb Trudeau voters face financial ruin because of the current Net Zero policies it will eventually happen here in Canada as in Germany , but in Canada unlike Germany , people are not hurting enough … YET !
I doubt the likes of Trudeau or Freeland and the corrupt media can comprehend what is happening in Germany and will only double down on their current insane policies , lies and repression
Das freut mich sooooooooooooo much!
And the visuals are great. A bunch of the world recognizes the Brandenburg Gate.
I am still hoping for an avalanche to tumble down on DAVOS.
Is “avalanche” the code word for Russia’s hypersonic missile?
kaliber hypersonic missile
Leftists are going to learn that food doesn’t come from the grocery store.

Climate Change Ideology Is A Hoax, Evil, And Insane
FClimate Change Ideology
Yes, and the fertilizer regulations can’t even be remotely connected to “climate change,” nitrogen is nearly eighty percent of the atmosphere, it has no relationship to the sick science of climatology nor any effect whatsoever, but nitrogen is the key for raising abundant crops and killing its use is essential to killing the people, so its the newest victim of the Global Communist Conspiracy.
Recall that the Netherlands’ farmers are being driven off their land in the name of reduction of nitrogen, as there were no grounds to eliminate them on CO2 lies, so they create another lie more outrageous than the first and few know enough to recognize the murderous farce let alone challenge it.
Thanks for your comment. (“Nitrogen is nearly eighty percent of the atmosphere,” as you write.)

Thank you BOTH for your comments….as Sundance has said….our governments HATE us.

correct
the typical environmentalists’ hard-on over nitrogen is not climate change but that excess nitrogen runoff from fertilizers promotes algal blooms in coastal waters

German farmers have blockaded the warehouses of mega-corporations like Aldi, Amazon, and Lidl. Media not reporting.
That’s some coarse sand thrown in those machines.
I don’t think triggering WWIII is going to work this time.
I stand with the German Farmers. Hold tight, let them eat cake.
Let them eat taxes!
Achtung baby!
Local news report from Bayern, the largest district.
Iowa and western Europe.
Solidarity!
The Canadian truckers turned tail and ran as soon as it got tough. Hopefully the Germans are tougher.
That is not true at all.
No, it isn’t, and our damned MalAdministration is who demanded Trudope crush it.
What the hell? Where did you get that from?
Well, they did.
Isn’t it wonderful that guys in overalls, carrying a pitchfork in one hand and a Bible in the other are gonna light the fuse that saves this Planet!
The Canadian mounted police are on their way
“Too much, and too fast”. Meaning: we’re still going to do it, it will just take longer now..
Maybe Texas should start airlifting illegal aliens to Davos.
How about just insuring WEF attendees’ only option in and out of Davos is on airlines using DEI pilots and maintenance crews.
Deutsche Welle. Germany’s version of NPR, finally — after 10 days of silence,…finally reported this massive public upheaval throughout Germany last night. No mention that the train workers and commercial truckers are also in it for sympathy. The narrative was all about diesel subsidies, not taxes, nor restriction of ag. production.
Sholtz is shot and they be scared.
I recommend that people study 1848 as we may be on the edge of a repeat. The concert of Europe is leftist now, instead of royalist but they have more or less the same attitude. They lack someone with the brains of Metternich or the resolve on Nicholas I though. The popular forces have the same problem though which is a diversity of movements and lack of unity. I have seen in said that Lenin succeeded in 1917-18 because he had studied the failure of the Paris Commune and drew lessons. We need to study the failures of 1848.
How the leaders of the Great German Farmers’ Protest are committed to neutralising their own movement, and what the farmers must now do if they want anything to change

‘Was to much to fast” in other words we are still going to do it but SLOWLY !
Coming to America. THIS………IS how and what we do! No worries….they will certainly be……MOSTLY PEACEFUL!
We could plug an artery in their system……not healthy for them!
Sounds insurrectiony. Dont give them an excuse to lock you up for years – like walking through your capitol building.
Arrest all globalist leaders who haven’t listened to their own constituents and have worked to undermine freedom and democracy of their nations. Arrest them on TREASON because that is what it is. Pure evil blatant treason against citizens. Arrest the f’ing leaders or these protests mean nothing!
