Resistance throughout Europe is organising itself

cc. In view of the disastrous agricultural policy of the EU and its vassals, many farmers are no longer simply willing to swallow everything and have started to stand up for themselves. The planned genocide of hundreds of thousands of healthy animals—which has already been implemented in Britain—, the deliberate delaying tactics of the British government and the EU’s coercive ban on vaccination all serve to make clear that at the root of all this a ‘hidden-agenda’ lies. What is coming to light becomes all the more sinister, the more one uncovers. British farmers are to be bled dry to make way for the arable land needed to produce cheap GM-food. Rural areas seem already doomed to sink into poverty like in the Middle Ages leaving only the large metropolises to survive, as planned at the United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat II) in 1996. The farmers and the people in Britain as well as in other European countries will be deprived of their livelihood. They will lose what they have lived for, what they sacrificed their spare time, holidays and money for: their assets will be taken away from them, in the most despicable manner imaginable, by destroying their complete livestock. There is not a single piece of scientific evidence against vaccination. And to cap it all it is the farmers who are then repeatedly blamed for FMD.
We can only welcome the resistance of farmers in different countries: it is time that the citizens of the European countries declare their solidarity with the farmers against EU-centralism. Many citizens are no longer willing to idly stand by and watch the massacres of hundreds of thousands of animals, which has been brought to them in the media: the carcasses were thrown into burial pits, even though some animals were clearly not quite dead.
The example of 21-year-old Kirstin McBride, who fought tooth and nail after her only and healthy sheep ‘Misty’, that she had reared in her garden, was killed, encouraged many people; she had done precisely what so many would have liked to have done. Another encouraging example was that of sheep-farmers Brian and Josephine Wheatley from Cumbria, who stood up and said that they would only get their flock over their dead bodies. The desire to resist is a natural and sane human reaction if one’s property is taken away.
The attempt to put the blame on the farmers and to make pathological cases out of them is as unbearable as the culling.
Resistance is forming in other countries as well: In France, in the Netherlands, in Poland and also in Germany the protest against the despotic EU agricultural policy is on the increase.
The least that one can demand in this whole situation is that the EU be dissolved and that the right to decide on agricultural matters is returned to the individual countries, and this should be done swiftly before farming has been taken over by global agribusiness on behalf of big business and the Socialist International and before certain countries strangle their ‘rural parts’ with emergency measures.
