Things are getting very interesting in the EU, specifically the nations with significant uprisings of farmers and truckers.
What I find interesting in this Reuters story, is the first time one of the MSM publications has been willing to identify the true intent of the protests.
“Our patience has run out. Brussels’ position on the last day of January 2024 is unacceptable for our entire agricultural community,” the trade union said in a statement dated Thursday.
“Additionally, the passivity of the Polish authorities… regarding the import of agricultural produce and food products from Ukraine leave us with no other choice but to declare a general strike.”
The European Commission said it was listening closely to the concerns expressed by farmers in protests taking place in several member states. (read more)
I arrive in Poland at noon tomorrow… I’ll let you know what I find, and what comes next… 🙂
Godspeed.
On angels’ wings
Amen.
Frankly Sundance, i fear for your safety.
The swamp hates you.
They kill.
Telling them where you will be, and when, is not a good idea.
If they really want to know, they most assuredly won’t be using anything mentioned in here to track…..
I think SD is on a mission. Most if not all of us do not have the resources to go into the “belly of the beast.” He needs prayer warriors and our backing. I know he has mine…🤝
Grow your own
I think the crops at issue largely are grain crops.
Not an agricultural person….or a gunsmith/weapons type but….are Ukrainian crops actually safe to eat after all the bombing and stuff? Wouldn’t the ‘residue get into the soil and affect the crops?
Farmers? What say you?
What you think, makes perfect sense to me.
They haven’t used nukes. Depleted uranium ammo could contaminate the soil but the aren’t having battles in functioning wheat fields.
I think you are right john.
Most of the battles do not seem to be in ag areas, if they are then there is always the possibilty of contamiation from all kinds of things besides bombs.
Fuel that spills out from military vehicles, weapons and fuel storage tanks for one thing.
That stuff is not good for a healthy crop and not asy to clean up.
Some of the fields have been heavily mined.
From the daily information I receive they are fighting all over the fields. Some of the farming areas look like swiss cheese.
Other than air drift, I guess that makes sense? I was thinking of stuff that goes in gun powder and bombs… things like that…
Regarding chemical contamination…I read something somewhere, no link, that Love Canal is still contaminated and that just got my old lady brain wandering…
Retired Magistrate here: My grandfather was a farmer so I know something about growing things; I spent Summers on the farm milking cows, bailing hay and doing other farm chores. I think the farmers around East Palestine, Ohio will have more of a problem with their soil than the Ukrainian crops.
Of course we are giving millions to Ukraine so those farmers (the ones who haven’t been kidnapped and thrown into service) will probably have safer crops than the ones growing around East Palestine. Haven’t heard that anything is being done about that soil.
Up thread I mentioned having read something about Love Canal being contaminated and not remembering where i read it….now i remember…an article about East Palestine….
Marcia, you have my utmost respect! That is hard work..I have picked up a bale or two in my younger days…the most I have done, is dump horse chow into a horse’s bucket at the riding stable and fill the water bucket. Occasionally cleaned out a stall….(we were blessed with stable boys to do that)
I am a sheltered suburban brat and know nothing of farming, real farming…other than little tid bits my dad told me of being the son of a poor dairy farmer in New Zealand in the 1920’s….the closest I have been to a farm now, is to take my sheltie to sheep herding lessons…sorry rambling here…I like to think that true farmers have the love of the land in their DNA even in Ukraine…
I did read there is a disposal site for the contaminated dirt or water from E. Palestine…?
It’s BILLIONS, not millions.
watch recap on GTTR of bannon;
‘s ultra maga war room. Show this am was about E. Palestine and what is going on there. They have abandoned the place.
I’m not a farmer but the fighting is in Eastern Ukraine and the crops are grown in Western Ukraine.
I’ve been purchasing little 5lb bags of flour, and smaller packages of corn meal and other grains, and putting them in the freezer for safe keeping; because am not a farmer so if things hit the fan as many suspect, will at least have a starting stash, and small enough bundles for trade.
When you prep you are also helping those who haven’t by reducing demand on the supply chain when things go bad.
Excellent idea Bessie !
If you have a little storage space, buy wheat berries, corn, rice, beans, etc. and package in mylar bags with o2 absorbers. Buy ammo, whiskey, coffee, chocolate for trade. I’m a fan of ammo, not sure I’ll have any of the other left, lol.
Cigarettes and tobacco are also excellent barter/trade material.
And if you have pets, don’t forget to stockpile their food as well.
I buy chocolate and coffee for ME! Vodka to trade, wine for ME! White rice lasts longest, then, wheat berries. Oats are also good. It takes half a closet to store about 3 months of dry goods for one person. I figure 3 months is reasonable. If you have space, more is better. But everyone should have 3 months worth. It keeps you out of the madness of competing with the crazed in the stores and time to figure out your next move to deal with whatever the crisis at hand is before you have to worry about your next meal. It is starvation rations though, it isn’t meant to make you happy.
Yes, when the money system finally goes broke, commodities become cash as bartered. The number one, and least likely not to spoil, is liquor. Especially pints of it.
1/2 pints of JW Dant got many a Kentucky politician elected.
I have started prepping again, too….it started as getting a 3-5 year stash of stuff prior to social security…but now…am ramping it up a bit.
Don’t forget powdered eggs….if in city…..chicken bullion for seasoning dry beans if in a pinch. Way to purify water. I have a well but water has allot of iron turns everything orange…does anyone have a suggestion….had hand pump added to well but can I add some king of filter?
I have same problem with my water. Home Depot GE whole house filter does an excellent job. Stock up on filters but they can be rinsed and reused.
Water purification….use Chlorine Dioxide tablets.

Be sure to read the dosage recommendations.
I buy organic corn meal and keep it in a freezer. That helps to prevent it from going rancid or becoming a magnet for pests. I make cornbread using homemade yogurt instead of buttermilk and the organic slightly brownish sugar instead of the usual white granulated. I bake it in a round pie plate then slice it into wedges, cover it with wax paper and foil then put the covered dish into a bag and stick it into a freezer. Pumpkin pies from the bakery section can be scored and frozen. The slices come out readily and are nice to have on hand.
Several years ago, I flipped a house that had a large Kenmore chest freezer on a porch. The previous owner didn’t have a spot for it at her new place. Since it worked, I had it moved into a building I use for storage.
That freezer is good for storing other staples such as butter and various types of flour. A round trip to the dairy for raw milk is three hours. Therefore, I buy ten gallons at a time and freeze nine of them. Having the extra freezer allows me to temperature treat frames from my beehives. Overgrown cucumbers and watermelon rinds stay in there until needed in the worm bins. Since there is room, the blue ice packs are always frozen when needed.
If anyone offers you a freezer and you have space, taking it may work out well.
Storing frozen supplies is a great idea, but when SHTF, keep in mind there may be no electricity to run those freezers. Therefore, fuel storage will be necessary for generators, and maybe adding canned food to your storage would be good also. There are some excellent sources for bulk food in cans that last a long time.
Additionally, the Mormons are experts at storage and have facilities where you are able to can your own food easily. Contact those folks, they can put you in touch and give you some help.
Both types of storage, canned and dry goods are essential. Frozen is nice to have but has energy downsides. Freeze dried is pretty pricey, not for everyone, except for a few products like eggs. There are methods that allow storage of eggs up to a year, but freeze dried is good for multiple years. Jerky is an excellent product to have on hand to add long term meat storage in addition to canned meats.
Acquiring a stash might not be as difficult as keeping it when tshf. As bad as crime is now you can imagine what we would face if many people were starving and desperate.
True about the conditions after TSHTF. However, one must do all one can to ensure that one’s family survives. That means stockpiling potable water, food, fuel (gasoline, propane, charcoal, wood), shelter and all the typical survival tools and equipment needed.
We should strive to be the gray man/woman, and not bring attention to ourselves or our preparations.
We also need a local network of family-friends-neighbors whom we can trust.
store in mylar bags labeled with oxygen absorbers inserts. Seals by iron…then put in large airtight buckets with same or different food items for long term storage . Won’t need to freeze. This way you are protected from power outage. keeps for years.
Beans and rice are easy to store as well. Starting small is a good idea. Water is important as well. Lots of ideas on the web.
Right on!
Head on a swivel Sundance.
Dominoes!
Do we have an American version spawning anywhere we can support?!
Don’t count on it.
most Americans are still fat, happy and planning a Stupid Bowl party
You don’t know farmers. Watch.
When I was a kid, the land owner WAS the farmer.
Now, hedge funds own the land and lease it to farmers who are now little more than heavy equipment operators with bank notes that demand they plant/harvest, or else next year someone will.
I surveyed over 40k acres of that farmland for hedge funds between 2008 and 2016.
They are financially unable to “strike.”
What is wrong with living our best life and planning a Super Bowl Party?
To each his own. But, my best life doesn’t include the NFL.
yes who needs the woke NFL
That is pretty much the opinion of the regular Treepers.
Sportsball is so last century.
Sportsball, you a member of the Salty Army?
We are Legion!
Ditto….Have no desire to hear the….black national anthem or celebrate pride week.
The NFL is persona non grata to me.
But you’ll miss all the great pharma commercials and a special cameo appearance by Taylor Swift.
I see what you did there…. 🙂
Who….?????
Nothing… if you like to watch millionaire grown men in tight pants tackle each other and enjoy tasteless, woke halftime “entertainment”.
The commercials aren’t even good anymore. But….’Merca, Hell Yeah!
NFL,….thats just gay!
🤣
D’oh!
The last Super Bowl I watched had Tom Landry as the Cowboys coach and a quarterback named Roger….
The good old days for sure!!
Last one I saw, the Colts were still in Baltimore.
The only thing I remember about the last one I watched was a quarterback named Namath.
I remember hearing about that Joe…lol
Nothing wrong at all; pretty sure us humans can multitask.
When they took a knee, I quit watching football. To me, the NHL is the last of the mohicans! Twenty years ago I was an avid Steeler fan. Now, I don’t even know anyone on the team. The knee was the final straw!
Ditto.
Same.
I’d rather be tinkering in my workshop than wasting time watching any kind of sporting event.
After time spent in my shop, I can take pride in accomplishing a task that needed done, or that I wanted to do.
After a football game, there is nothing but lost time to remember.
My brothers think I’m nuts. So be it. I make stuff. They waste time and make comments on the games.
Yeah right. With a Bud Lite!
who can eat a SBP?
From Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar:
” Let me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights.
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look...”
Yes, Shakespeare through his character Caesar observes that men who waddle side to side, who need canes because their knees cannot take the 300 to 500 pounds above them, and who have not seen their manly parts in decades (without a mirror’s help) because of the massive beach ball of booze, bacon, and bratwurst obscuring it…
…are NOT men of action, and are not to be feared.
<“Let me have men about me that are fat…>
Said Chris Christie’s wife 🙂
Hey! I love bacon!
Underestimate me at your peril!
Jk
well, fatness comes from more than booze bacon and bratwurst.
Half of the men who play NFL are obese by the way
I did not imply the list to be complete! 🙂
Half of the men who play NFL are obese by the way
Yes, the half who stand on the line and rarely run anywhere. 😉
I know all y’all remember “The Refrigerator”, William Perry?
“Yond Obama has a lean and hungry look...”. Pardon,… you spelled Cassius wrong.
By Gum, I believe you are right! 🙂
MAObama is never satisfied, is he?
Not until he destroys America!
Reportedly 700,000 heading to the Texas border?
Just heard on evening news that truckers were a small group. Its gathering resembles a church revival. Included, there is a small Trump rally. Gov. Abbott will be in Eagle Pass tomorrow. So, Dutchman, MSM really minimized today’s gathering. Almost poo posing it.
Forgive me, Dutch, for misspelling poohpooing.
I’m surprised they report it at all.
They were warned off that it might be another Jan 6 event.
Go Chiefs!!!!!!
Right on!!
A Swiftie in the house!
No, all the talk abt truckers supposedly going to the border is a bit too slick, too movie trailerish, like another setup
Right now, Robert Barnes is representing an Amish farmer named Amos Miller. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and the USDA have both given him a hard time for selling foodstuffs that have not undergone inspection by either government entity. Amos Miller sells through a private members only club. He is outside the usual commercial / industrial food sector. Because his food products are segregated from the grocery store, cafeteria, etc. stream, they offer no risk to any customer other than those of us who have signed his informed consent waiver.
The Pennsylvania Dept of Ag has detained/impounded pretty much everything in his freezer. His milk will have to be wasted. Their contention is that Mr. Miller does not have a food service license such as the restaurants are required to carry. He is not in the restaurant business.
Robert Barnes says the Amos Miller case is critical to food freedom in America. If he loses, we can expect more restrictions on farmers who keep their operations outside of Big Food. He says the Amish are the easy target because they want to be left alone and therefore do not sue and barely fight back.
There is a Go Fund Me campaign for Amos Miller Organic Farms. The money will go to pay legal fees and to try to keep Amos in business long enough to get through this. Barnes has had to hire extra help for this effort.

The Amish DO sue, and DO fight back.
Years ago the State (Penn, I think) tried to force them to install smoke detectors, to comply with a building code type regulation.
An Amish man took it to SCOTUS, and won.
No COVID in amish land , or autism 🤔
Interesting, isn’t it?
Retired Magistrate here: When I had my law practice, one of my clients was an Amish Farmer. Very smart businessman who you didn’t want to mess with!
In the medieval times, it was said that the men who built the castles and churches, were just as smart as the scholars, who resided in them.
Wow! Good for him.
How are wood stoves supposed to mix with smoke detectors anyway?
You have to burn smokeless wood.
🤓
Exactly,….plus they run on ,….ELECTRICITY.
Amish don’t have wiring in their homes.
Stupid State Buerocrats should have just left them alone.
I donated to Amos Miller when they first targeted him and his family. These kinds of situations make my blood boil. Talk about government over reach.
“The men who just want to be left alone…..”
I think about that line nearly every day. They just can’t help themselves. They really aren’t going to like it either when they finally have our full undivided attention.
Excellent point.
Been watching this closely. Hoping the Government bit off more than they can chew! Amish is part of Pa heritage! When a disaster strikes, such as tornado that destroys a farm, the Amish show how a community works! Before a lamb can shake its tail 3 times, that farmer is back in business!
And remember….The Lord leaves the 99 to rescue one….that has more meaning than we realize….
And the Amish have come out in the last 2 elections in support of President Trump. God bless them. I love the photos of the buggies with big “Trump” flags!
https://lancasteronline.com/news/local/was-2020-a-breakout-year-for-amish-voters-heres-what-the-numbers-show/article_f77af684-32a7-11eb-b3ec-13a56697652f.html
I love Lancaster County! There’s nothing like an Amish buggy with a Trump sign going down the street. I took a buggy ride with an Amish man who told me how much the Amish love Trump. I went to a Trump rally with 3 Amish teenagers and they were so excited to be there! They bought Trump hats and other Trump souvenirs. I was in an Amish restaurant when the news hit that Trump was found not guilty after his impeachment and the whole restaurant broke out in cheers!
So neat to hear that, Margie! I kept believing the Amish would put Trump over the top in PA in 2016, when it took forever for them to call it for him election night… I’m in NE Ohio, just about an hour north of Amish country, and I always love going there. I figure if things really blow up in this country, I’d bundle my cat, my mom and all my black clothes and seek refuge there. It would be nice being in a Christian community, off the grid, with great homegrown food, and men who can build a house!
Sherri, your posts on this story are much appreciated. This is one of the most important cases of our lifetimes, and many folks are praying for a positive outcome for Mr. Miller. I will happily contribute to his defense.
Thank you. I felt compelled to donate too.
There were other Anabaptists in by father’s line. My paternal grandfather was an Iowa farmer during the FDR years. He was quite unappreciative of the government over-reach.
Among my family were mixed Indians living in the Ozarks. They told horrible stories about the government coming in and slaughtering their cattle in those years. Just horrifying. ‘There’s a new law, you now have too many cows, here’s my badge and here come the bulldozers and rifles. Stand back or else.’
Presently in my neighborhood the general view is the biggest threat to our critters is probably the government. And we live with cougars, bears and coyotes. So.
We be all about the diversity up in these woods.
Thank you for this link. Heard about this Amish farmer but did not know about his Give send Go. Will definitely donate to this good cause. I was a small farmer in KY. Years ago and knew some Amish farmers. Very good people…
Sundance did a piece a while ago…something about big ag, commodities in food…..”field to fork” i think was the title….
I will look at this and see what I can do…We have Amish in central and southern IL.
There is one happening in Texas right now
Be careful. Be wary of folks approaching you wanting to engage!
Yep. The “embeds”.
Clowns Outside America instead of Inside.
…’clowns too the left of me….jokers to the right…’
Or guys asking you to do illegal things – like kidnapping a governor.
Yes. Don’t accept any $10,000 cash donations……..
Solidarity was not some right wing extremist group but ordinary Polish people who were prepared to strike over bread and butter issues. Ask anyone you know who was living in Poland in the seventies and eighties about the situation and the bread queues. They are stunned that anyone today would want to adopt the ideology that was underpinning the government there.
BUT..BUT… on the most part they are russophobe….
wasn’t Pete Buttegeg from Poland? He was a wee tot back then. He must have loved it
Little Boy Blue….because he had to…..?
moisturize?
No, pole-sitter, not Poland.
“right wing extremist” and “extreme right wing” getting bandied about a lot, lately.
WHAT IS “extreme right wing”?
Conmunism and Fascism, Nazism are all extreme LEFT wing,…Socialism a slightly milder LEFT wing,…so WHAT is “extreme Right wing”?
Our Founders, …THEY and the ideas they espouse, would be “extreme right wing”.
Extreme right wing would mean practically no government at all – even less gov’t. than libertarians would prefer…..or, almost anarchy.
The radical Leftwing media and DemoRats hardly ever use “right” without ‘extreme’ preceding and ‘wing’ following.
It’s definitely a leftist ploy in order to make normal Americans seem like radicals.
Margie you’re right. I must admit that I’m constantly amazed at those people who believe the Left’s completely bass ackwards assertions in what I’ve always thought is a childish attempt to redirect blame for their own crimes and unethical behavior onto those who have pointed it out (projection).
Logically extreme right wing would be no government since extreme left wing is total government. Real Americans (and the founding fathers) believe in limited government as outlined in the constitution which makes us right wing but certainly not extreme.
Let us never forget the religious foundations of our current national struggles, learning from the experience of Poland:
“On October 16th 1978, Karol Cardinal Wojtyła, Archbishop of Kraków was voted by the Papal conclave as the successor of John Paul I at only 58 years of age. He was the youngest pontiff since Pope Pius IX in 1846 and the first non-Italian Pontiff in 455 years .
“Struggling with oppression from the government, as well as economic hardships, many Poles saw the election of their compatriot as a genuine miracle and a sign of hope and change to come. Many were old enough to remember the government’s refusal to allow the visit of Pope Paul VI in 1966, the year that the Polish Church celebrated its millennium. The population believed, rightly so, that the Polish Pope would not be refused the trip to his country. In his first pilgrimage to his homeland, Pope John Paul II uttered words known to virtually every Pole of that generation: “Let Your Spirit descend and renew the face of the Earth,” and then after a little pause adding: “This Earth.” This was the first of many instances in which the pontiff offered respite to the people. It must also be underscored that despite the official atheism of the party and state, as well as possible repercussions in professional life, millions of people greeted the Pope in each of the cities he visited.
“Pope John Paul II visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which was the symbol of anti-Communism. During the mass in the city’s Victory Square, he talked of the Warsaw uprising in 1944 recalling that ‘You cannot understand the city of Warsaw, which in 1944 decided to fight when it was abandoned by its powerful allies, to fight at the end of which it collapsed under its own ruin, if you do not remember that under the same ruins, was also the statue of Christ the Savior with His cross from in front of the church at Krakowskie Przedmieście.’
“Pope John Paul II ascertained that the history of Poland is inseparable from the history of religion and of the piety of its citizens. After the end of this passage the crowd spontaneously erupted into the religious hymn: “We want God,” which proclaims (about God), that “he is our King, he is our Lord.” This was not the end to the symbology as the Pope continued: ‘The Church has brought Christ to Poland. That is, the key to understanding the great and basic reality that is man. Therefore, Christ cannot be kept out of the history of man in any part of the world.’
“Such things were never spoken of in Communist Poland. The pope pierced the very heart of the Communist ideology, which so vociferously denied the existence of God. Out of nowhere, in a mass being celebrated on public television of a Communist state a thunderous applause erupted. People started singing “Christus vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat” (Christ conquers, Christ reigns, Christ commands) after which they once again erupted into applause which lasted for fourteen minutes.
“In those fourteen minutes, the people experienced a freedom they had not known in many years. In those fourteen minutes, the power of truth vocalized by the thunderous applause overthrew the power of oppression and the people present could feel freedom for which they longed deeply. The people were repressed by fear and needed this emotional liberation. This expression of the power of the Church, which is the people, and is inseparable from the people combined with the charisma and presence of the Polish Pope who was able to bring this church together in such unity and solidarity, was instrumental in the eventual fall of the Communist bloc. Also, there was a power in those numbers. There were millions of people and each of them represented not a crowd, but a nation. In each city, the millions gathered in great mutual and intuitive respect. There were no instances of violence and the crowds never turned disorderly. John Paul II single-handedly created Solidarity fourteen months before it was actually established.”
From “How Pope John Paul II Created Solidarity”

May it be so in the USA!
“Thou shalt show me the path of life; in Thy presence is the fullness of joy, and at Thy right hand there is pleasure for evermore.”
John Paul: “It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.”
“Love is never defeated, and I could add, the history of Ireland proves it.”
“Social justice cannot be attained by violence. Violence kills what it intends to create.”
“Stupidity is also a gift of God, but one mustn’t misuse it.”
“I have a sweet tooth for song and music. This is my Polish sin.”

And when asked how many people worked at the Vatican, he said “about half of them”….he had a sense of humor.
I always have enjoyed seeing pictures of JP2 skiing in papal vestments at Castle Gandalfo.
President Trump on John Paul II. “We want God”
God bless you, Sundance
Safe Journey. Can’t wait.
Praying for you and that you’ll meet the right people.
Safe travels Sundance!!!
I had a premonition you were traveling. Thanks for being the boots on the ground. Be safe.
Sorry meant for SD🤣
Well, I did get back from a camping trip myself yesterday! LOL
🤦♀️
Be safe, praying a hedge around you
Definitely a white protecting light meditation would be nice
Safe travels!
“Farmers in France, Belgium, Portugal, Greece and Germany have been protesting against the constraints placed on them by EU measures to tackle climate change…”
But is it?
Or is ‘Climate Change’ merely the mask for a Depopulation Regime of farm closures, food shortages, burned-down food processors, poisonous genetic experiments called “vaccines” and cannon-fodder wars?
State-induced Energy Famine to make life cold, “nasty, brutish and short” under a new anti-human Regime of Mad Science cloning and transhumanism in a Neo-Feudal Big Hacienda Death Cult?
“Climate Change” isn’t just about Commies seizing Industrial Policy.
It’s about killing people by the billions.
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call the heavens and the earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, a blessing and a curse. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live…
Yes and Amen!
People bristle at hearing climate change and trust nothing and no one associated with it. Let them say it’s climate change.
Everything, I see, is driven for our Depopulation. DNA injections designed to kill, food shortages, water contamination, like of fuel for heat and the list goes on. I am expecting our Lord Jesus Christ to resolve these issues in the Tribulation – soon.
I expect our Father God to address them even before that. It could be any day now, praise God!
” Climate Change ” , previously called Global Warming , was started by a Canadian communist with the intention of destroying the Economies of Western countries by removing cheap power and farm products. ………. The Greenie activity was , and is , funded by Russia and China. The man who started it all later retired to China and died there. It is well on the way to finally winning the Cold War for them. …….. More people in many countries are starting to resist this.
I certainly hope you are correct!!
Hey Ausie, I’m Canadian so you’ll have to be a little more specific when you say a “Canadian Communist”………………We have thousands and thousands of the bastards here but are you referring to Maurice Strong? Another POS Commie Wack Job that loved the UN and Chyyyna?
Maurice Strong you say Mikeonthe400?
We here in Coloarado had experience with that crackpot.
We hated him with a passion.
He seemed to be the 1980s version of that freak Bill Gates.
He looked ridiculous walking around the American west with his pant tops tucked into his boots.
Only a dude does that.
The name sounds familiar. I think you are right. You may not have known that he started Global Warning with Russian and Chinese backing , but what you do know about him will support this. Note that those countries are NOT shutting down their coal and gas power plants. ……… I am a History Nut with an extensive knowledge of world history facts but at 83 years old am a little vague on some names and exact dates. ……… Many on this site have no understanding of History. ……… Think of a Fox that raids a Hen House every third night. ( This stopped for four years while Trump was in office ) This will not stop until the Hens are all eaten or until a Rooster puts his spur into the foxes eye and makes the fox back off. Unfortunately the back-off will not last unless some one straps steel spurs on the Rooster. …….. Ukraine is the Rooster , Poland and the Baltic States are the Hens . …… They all have History seared into their memories. ……. The rest of Europe is the next Hen House . Followed ( with the assistance of the Chinese Fox ) by the American Hen House. ……. Note that Hitler was planning his attack on the U.S.A. before Pearl Harbour. Britain was then the Rooster that had stopped the Fox , but needed to get Steel Spurs to destroy it. Canada of course was an invaluable second Rooster but much more was needed. …… Russia , at that time , was Hitler,s partner in crime.
Looks like California is taking the lead on the equity front, to the climate change lie. Coming soon, to a power company near you.
https://freebeacon.com/california/newsom-stands-by-equitable-electricity-bills-as-opposition-builds/
Grrrr!
Its good that opposition is standing up, but don’t expect TPTB to back down just because the People are protesting.
Disabled…: This weekend, on electronic signs along the 10 Freeway in LA, drivers are being encouraged to ride free public transportation on “Equity Day”, February 4.
“Equity Day” means taxpayers pay for the same small group of people who already get subsidies to ride without paying for a ticket.
Classic conditioning, in action.
“,…ELECTRONIC signs,…”?
As in, powered by ELECTRICITY??? Do THEY really not see the irony?
No lol
So I’m guessing that those illegal invaders that finally get a house or an apartment will get their electricity for free.
How incredibly ridiculous.
Many utilities are ready to setup pay as you go metering, but probably, only for those who will be able to afford the juice.
Be safe! Many prayers going up for you and for all of these brave farmers and truckers. And please come home! We need you here. I think you might be liking it way over there 😉
Amen
God Bless, Sundance! You’ll be in my prayers.
“The European Commission said it was listening closely to the concerns expressed by farmers in protests “
They’re not afraid enough and believe they’ll be able to ride it out.
The Globalists’ aim is to destroy countries. They will collapse economies, starve people, and weaponize populations to do so.
I agree Hokkoda, these elites think all they must do is ride it out until spring when the farmers will need to take their equipment from the protests back to the fields to do the important spring work.
I believe the farmers have figured that out and understand the time line perfectly.
These farmers and truckers are not stupid, we shall see.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if every farmer in these countries decided not to sell their crops this year. Grow it, store it, feed themselves.
Not all crops can survive long term storage, corn (for human consumption) is one. Only feed corn can go longer term. Very little produce can survive past its newly ripened stage. Much can be dehumidify-dried or freeze dried for storage but most farmers don’t have that capability en masse. Plus it would bankrupt many farmers who aren’t financially prepared for a zero year.
Hokkoda: The elites will ride it out because they are safe, indeed.
Have they listened closely enough to understand that 200 million euros for luxury helicopters for official (their) use is not a good idea?

Does the spirit of John III Sobieski still remain in Poland? I suspect so.
Sundance will be back soon enough, with ground reports.
Safe travels, Sundance.
they will bring down….T U S K !!!!! and restore new P O L A N D !!!!!
It’s inevitable, the only thing that defeats communism is solidarity. We are not there yet, this is why starting a war is so important to them.
I call it Unity of Will, but sure SOLIDARITY to counter their divide and conquer strategies.
Safe travels Sundance!
Can’t wait to read all about it.
What if there were a food strike in America against the RICH? They all could afford to lose a little weight from what I see.
How do you know who is rich? Any clues?
By looking at the things they have. “They are naked”
Good Question – you already know the answer, too.
I generally base it on one of two things. The size of their boat, or the size of the staff that runs their house. They are both fairly reliable indicators. 😂😂😂
District of Communists and adjoining areas.
Start with the Lurch.
Absolutely nothing wrong with being rich. The problem is corruption, immorality, greed, superiority. Plenty of fat poor people, btw.
It’s the “elitist” mentality we are fighting. A poor man never gave me a job, built a library, or commissioned great art. “My Father has many mansions.” Wealth isn’t a sin. It’s what you DO with it.
Part of the “equity” lie that is taught in many schools and then university, is that those who have achieved wealth, have done so on the backs of others.
Do want to be perfect “Disabled Enabler”? Then follow the word of God. Please see Matthew 19:20-22 (NKJV). Nothing has been said of “on the backs of others”.
Striving for perfection of one’s self, is never becoming. However, living one’s life thru the eyes of another, is the way that perfection becomes viewed as an achievement, because overcoming your downfalls, is the only way, perfection, can be viewed as a success.
Do you want to be perfect, John?
Matthew 19:20-22 (NKJV)
20 The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept [a]from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
They could be “things rich” and cash poor. That is not a good meter. Your suggestion doesn’t hold water.
Ladyvin, God wrote the Book of Matthew. I would encourage you, to take the time to read the Bible, starting with the Book of Matthew. Take the time to read it and save your soul.
You are deflecting from the topic. Stay focused.
Safe travels.
Collar up you wolverines!!!! Say it like Errol Flynn did in “they Died with their boots on”!
Tusk, the former EU President and now Polish PM, is asserting his authoritarianism. His jackboots are polished, laced up, and getting a workout.
God go with you, dear Sundance 🙏🏻
We will keep the homefires burning, with the able assistance of Mengaerie, Ad rem, Stella, and Wee.
Please tell the Polish people we in this Tree pray for them as well.
They are our brothers and sisters fighting this spiritual war 🙏🏻
If God be for us, who can be against us?
~Romans 8:31~
🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻
Right on and amen 🙏
Tusk is Polish in name only, BK. He sold his nationality out to become an EU “elite.”
I suspect the spirit of Pope John Paul will be amongst those standing up for their country.
We pray for them all.
The Polish people have long experience with jackboots and bullies.
If anyone is prepared to handle them these people are.
Yes ma’am. They got Tusk the same way Canada got Castro’s spawn…political machinations and deals with parties which did not win.
Their memories are not short, as ours here are. They revere their history. They honour those who died in that horrible, horrible war.
They do not forget…or let their children forget.
They will be a formidable force to deal with.
They still remember the hard times, that produced the hard men, that threw of Conmunism.
Unfortunately, america as a whole hasn’t had truly hard times, sufficient to produce hard men (and women!)yet,…but itscoming. Slowly,….and then all-at-once.
Those who remember the Great Depression here are gone. They remembered.
History has a nasty habit of repeating, dutch…only this time with the addition of Communism, already sinking its tentacles into the fabric of our fallen nation.
This country may yet come to understand.
Safe —and pleasant travels. 💖

Safe travels Sundance. This has to be expensive. We all need to hit the donate button.
👍👍👍
The entire issue about Ukraine was that this export was meant to feed ‘starving’ individuals in poor countries. Instead, Ukrainian grain flooded the EU, to the detriment of the EU farmers. I wonder if there isn’t anything about Ukraine that isn’t totally corrupt.
A: Yes. There are some good people there who are caught in the madness our shitass #GangsterGovernment created.
We need to pray for them, too.
After all, we have a Puppet Dictatorship just like they do.
This move also disrupted the African continent, which is number one for world population growth. The powers to be, won’t even let the Africans have power generation, let alone food.
It also hinders the commodity price for other European producers.
Get your facts straight JB. The grain is in the EU because normal shipments weren’t permitted through the Black Sean and the Russians destroyed Ukrainian grain storage capability. Russians had a bumper crop and the ability to eliminate Ukraine as a grain competitor. Good echo of a Russian talking point though.
You do know that the bulk of Ukrainian exports to Third World countries was stopped by Russia bombing Ports and threatening shipping. The exports through Europe were caused by Russia. …….. Ukraine is not responsible foe the grain being ” Diverted ” to use in Europe.
GODSPEED.
Oh Sundance! Thank you.
I would love to see a general strike here. The problem is that the majority of large American farms are pretty much owned by large corporations via contracts. So, our farmers will have to declare total bankruptcy if they invalidate their contracts. Smaller farmers aren’t so much affected by it. I could have that all wrong, of course. I pray I’m totally wrong. We talk about how the majority of the country grows the food that the coastal “elites” consume and if we just cut them off, they would get with the program. But, I’m thinking the majority of the food growing in this country is owned by the coastal elites, financially speaking.
We would need the truckers in on any strike/protest here in the US.
A lot of our own food is grown foreign and then shipped here and transported all over by truckers.
The blockades by these farmers and truckers in Europe is effective because it shuts down almost everything to the cities they blockade.
But but but but, won’t we all die if these climate change denying farmers are successful??
Wow! That’s fantastic you are going. I can’t wait to hear boots on the ground reporting.
There was a time when protests like these were the biggest news story of the day/week/month. Sad it barely makes the radar or gets the coverage it deserves. I bet 1 out of 7 people you ask about these protests, here in America, wouldn’t have a clue what you are talking about.
Safe travels!
No coverage, by design. Keep none “in the know”. Knowledge is dangerous/s
How is it possible that a “poor country” like the Ukraine – during the middle of a war with Russia!!! – is exporting food into Poland and undercutting Polish farmers ?
Would the importation into the Ukraine of $100 BILLION in “aid” from the U.S. and The West have something to do with that ability?
As always, follow the money!
Since the grain elevators at their port facilities are destroyed, a lot of their exports are leaving the country be truck and whatever rail lines that are still intact.
A Reddit-war, its FAKE war.
Hint, when Bono and half of Congress fly into a “war zone” its NOT a real war.
The elites fly into or take a railroad into Kiev which is hundreds of miles from where the fighting is going on. Kiev is not a war zone because Russia is not interested in carpet bombing the whole country nor in capturing the western part of Ukraine. It is the US that carpet bombs whole countries and measures progress by capturing territory. Just because that is how the US “fights” a war, those aren’t necessary to meet the definition of war.
The goals of the military operation are to stop Ukraine from having any ability or will to fight or commit terrorist acts against Russia, to get rid of the Nazi regiments, and to make Ukraine a neutral country. They want Ukraine to stop bombing ethnic Russians which they said over and over in the Minsk Accords I and II and in their proposals in Dec, 2021.
There is definitely a war going on. It is NOT AI generated. The bodies are real. War is defined as an armed conflict between two groups. Both Ukraine and Russia are ARMED and they are fighting against each other, people killing each other, blowing up buildings and factories, infrastructure and homes, tanks, air defense systems, deployment sites.
Belle, I recant my comment above, as I agree with what you have posted.
This war IS different than what we are used to seeing, and historically in wars from WW2 to American Civil wars, there were commonly areas well away from the battles, whete life, commerce, etc continued on, marginally disrupted if at all.
Nonsense.
No logic train, do some research on the issue.
Succumbing to the Climate Radicals’ policies equals total loss of Freedom for the rest of us Plebes.
Safe travels Sundance.
Stay safe. I understand, but we will need you here.
Notice it’s the same people that are pushing and spending your money for climate change, green technology fiascos, mass migrations around the World, radical restraints on food production, election rigging, censorship of ideas and speech, draconian plans for future health scares, increasing surveillance and pressure on peaceful and law-abiding citizens AS IF THEY WANTED COMMUNISM, WITHOUT SAYING THE WORDS?
Stand up, say the words, make the accusation; THEY WANT WHAT YOU HAVE!
Wow, how fortunate for you to travel there and learn and share. Thank you.
Safe travels!
I agree with the European farmers. They’re being held to “climate change” rules and regulations which makes foodstuffs very difficult and expensive to grow. Meanwhile, the European countries are bringing in foodstuffs from countries that don’t adhere to “climate change” rules and regulations. Very unfair.
The biggest hurdle facing the European farmers, and soon American, is the forced stoppage of fertilizer use. Fertilizer is the number one component of a successful crop year. By stopping the use of fertilizer, the downfall of the farms are accelerated, and their agenda comes to fruition, faster.
Quite insidious as the use of natural gas (namely CH4 as a feed stock) in the Haber-Bosch process is the main source of those fertilizers via ammonia production. Oh look, natural gas is being blamed for destroying the planet same as nitrogen based fertilizers. The motives are transparent.
Holodomor 2.0, globally this time around.
Yes, my working theory, is that they are banning all products that are made from Nat Gas, because of pipeline capacity issues, as the powerhouses become Nat Gas fed. The pipelines to the powerhouses are huge, by eliminating other consumers, the draw on the system becomes less.
It follows. On a related topic, ruinables are obviously not viable at scale.
Gas turbines are top of the list for ramping up or down as needed to stabilize the grid due to the vagaries of solar and wind outputs.
Question is where are they supposed to get the gas as domestic production drops of a cliff due to government policies?
Exactly. It is also the feedstock for just about every industrial material process for industry, US has a vast quantity as a by-product of shale oil. This is an attempt to prevent the reshoring industry to the US.
You’re absolutely correct.
Cheap energy would be counterproductive to offshoring vital industries as would inexpensive sources of raw materials for industrial processes.
Many US regulations are about making US industry noncompetitive in the international markets.
As are we, but theirs went to the next level.
Very unfair Sue.
Many African nations are already forbidden ( by who will take another long post maybe later) to use anything but organic or natural fertilizer for their crops.
These countries can not even feed themselves from their meager harvists and have been made to rely on foreign aid for decades because they can not use modern chemical fertilizer and pesticides.
Most countries who have leaders with half a brain know that we will all starve if these climate change rules are implemented.
We will be Africa with their poverty, disease and chaos.

The breadth and success of the farmer protest and the lockdowns across major cities across Europe is stunning. But what is even MORE stunning is the utter failure and collusion of American news media to report it! They are terrified that this kind of massive protest will spread and force Washington to change course. The entire J6 confabulation, show trials and hyperbolic deceit of it being an “insurrection” is to quell this kind of national demonstration of disgust with out national policies!
I appreciate this link. It’s been difficult for me to find news coverage of this.
Yes Groggle does not allow a search for this.
“No Farmers, No Food, No Future” says a protesters sign.
Thing is, that is the goal of the Government, and the Government is NOT going to cave to the Farmers demands.
Authoritarians can NOT back down, not once, not even a little because if they are seen giving in, they lose their authority.
Macron is now,… but then he also knows his Nation’s history of using Mr. Guillotine’s invention against Tyrants. Hope the Elite Tyrants all get massive Tight Azzes before this is over.
Watch, over time to see if his actions are truly backing down, or just putting off.
Prayer Warriors, I posted a prayer on the prayer thread…Please feel free to add to it.
May God Bless you in all your travels;
Wolverines of the world Unite!!!
other parts of the problem include the culture where muslim men in finland gang rape a young girl who then commits suicide and the muslims are given probation and the public told not all muslim men are bad. another part is the crazy Swiss who jail a man for calling a fat lesbian a fat lesbian. ?? why jail the guy for complimenting the fat lesbian as fat lesbians are now venerated and highly desirable. I can see jailing him had he called her lovely and honorable and courageous and polite and good. that would be not be suitable today. but to jail him for the high compliment does not make sense to me???
Safe travels! We look forward to your findings.
And Tucker Carlson was photographed at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. He arrived from Istanbul. Is he there to interview Vladimir Putin is the big question.
FEB 03 2024 – Bolshoi Theatre –
Ivan Vasiliev was performing the leading role in Spartacus
——–
Vasiliev with Nina Kaptsova in 2015
So, that answers the question: either TC or someone on his staff reads here, and so learned how to fly into Russia; TC has been wanting to interview PUTIN for over a year now, going back to when he was trying to set it up, and found out he was being ‘monitored’ by NSA.
FEB 03 2024 – RT – Tucker Carlson spotted in Moscow – media
It remains unclear what business the conservative commentator had in Russia
Tucker Carlson has spent several days in Russia and even took in a ballet performance at the iconic Bolshoi Theatre, Telegram channel Mash reported on Saturday, sharing several photos of the conservative commentator.
[…]
https://www.rt.com/russia/591798-tucker-carlson-spotted-moscow/
He could also be in Russia to interview Snowden?
Wonder if Tucker Carlson can also squeeze in an interview with Edward Snowden while in Moscow. And Tara Read too.
Safe travels.
Hmmm, SD travels to Europe and suddenly people from several countries are protesting for their G-d given rights.
Talk about a revolution!
Poland has done well fighting the globalists/communists.
The government is very militant toward Russia and has allowed the US to funnel weapons through Poland and deployed US military into Poland with no complaint. The government has been until recently very pro-Ukrainian and I’m not sure how responsive it is toward the people of Poland.
I will be very interested in what Sundance finds.
Yes but then Tusk a globalist was installed to rein them in
How are the RICH compared to those who are not?
Matthew 19:21-24 (NKJV)
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” 22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
With God All Things Are Possible
23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
Matthew 25:36-45 (NKJV)
36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer [a]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’
“the European Commission SAID it was LISTENING closely to the concerns expressed by farmers,…” not going to actually DO a thing to address their concerns, mind you.
TPTB are pursueing their GND, CC agenda, and implementing that agenda is going to make living much harder, living conditions much harsher, for the proles, and this is just the beginning.
To expect they will just cave in at the first resistance is naive.
Their GND agenda, fully implemented is going to herd ‘the People’ like cattle, into 15 minute cities where they will live harsh, brutal existence as worker bees for the collective.
And the Wefers will only accomplish so much by guile, manipulation and propoganda, at a certain point they will have to resort to cattle prods and shots in the air.
No, you really can NOT boil a pot of frogs by gradually raising the temperature until they cook without realising it; inevitably they will jump out, long before the water is hot enough to cook them.
You MUST use FORCE, to keep them in the pot.
I have this image of Jim Jordan, sleeves rolled up working feverishly on the problems of the left. Listening intently to the concerns of the people but accomplishing nothing. Perhaps a picture of him with shovel digging our grave would be appropriate.
True dutchman.
And when that force is unsuccessful the result is what the French elites suffered from the peasants when they had enough and used their guillotines.
Over on Truth Social, Jack Posobiec says Tucker is in Russia right now. Maybe an interview with Putin planned, per Poso.
Interesting timing.
Have a great trip Sundance.
the “Young Global Leader” shows his hand…
Elon Musk calls for a carbon tax to solve the climate change crisis.
Speaking of young global leaders.
Everyone and all the press sure have been quiet this week about Milei after he turned down BRICS and embraced the IMF.
🤔
So much for breaking the bonds of the Banksters, huh?
He…Milei will learn…hard way…
Perhaps he already got threatened with “the hard way” (unless he was a set up shill, from the start like Speaker Johnson?)

Trying to merge man with machine will not solve our problems, it will cast us backward into tyranny and pagan slavery.
We are going to have our own problems in the not to distant future
From a former US Attorney:
IF the polling trends continue and the prospect of Trump retaking the White House after the November election continues to grow, I fear we’ll see terrorist action inside the US from the cells that have clearly made their way here via the open border Biden has allowed to exist.
“Farmers in France, Belgium, Portugal, Greece and Germany have been protesting against the constraints placed on them by EU measures to tackle climate change”
Vanessa Kerry, the daughter of John Kerry, went to Davos to discuss Climate Change. She asked how they could use the same type of urgency (FEAR) that was used for Covid to promote Climate Change. In other words, continue to use fear to control the populace. Could it be that people all over the world have also figured out the bullsh*t lie of Climate Change? And, they are finally standing up to the evil monsters that just want to control us and want 7.2 Billion people to disappear from the earth?
I certainly hope so!
MNN BREAKING…
In Bidness News, noted Gigolo John “Ketchup Lurch” Kerry sent Heinz shares plummeting last week after bizarrely claiming people will go hungry unless we close thousands of American farms.
However, the stock price stabilized after the Condiment Communist explained he didn’t mean shuttering his own tomato farms. He meant closing other people’s farms.
As usual.
