    Climate change is the perfect excuse to force people to do whatever it is the tyrants want. If man made climate change is real then why are they scrambling to control "misinfo" and don't want any debate with climate scientists with an opposite opinion?🤔

    Tractors aren't really meant to be driven on the road. These farmers are putting a lot of wear and shortening the life of their equipment.

    Fuck the WEF and global propaganda, these nihilist want to reduce the human population. Finally people are waking up. I already knew this shit 8 years ago. Seeing what they were doing and SAYING during WEF meetings. Only because legacy media keeps covering everything up, people are so far behind the truth.

    Spoilt brats costing the EU a fortune in automatic payments of public money. EU agricultural policy is basically a giant social security scamm for those claiming to be farmers where they are or not.

    This was a problem faced in Japan where rural farmers were subsidized to bridge the increasing urban rural divide. The Japanese farmers innovated and strive to produce higher quality rice/vegetables to increase the worth of their goods and reduce the government's subsidy.

    The governments should understand that farmers are very necessary for self sufficiency and food security in the country and farmers are fulfilling an important country objective too.

    The governments can heavily tax expensive cars/ private yacht and private jet planes to reduce emission and gather funds to subsidy the necessary farmers. The elite must pay more than the farmers to reduce overall emissions.

    TLDR newsEU, what you are saying is not the truth, there are more than that , its about no oil and gas to run the business , don't lie to me, with out oil and gas your business don't run good, but russia got oil and gas, but its sanction so far to europe , cause the farmer lack energy and financial income low, and now they are protesting, you.

    This is still peaceful, compared to France where they will torch cars and politicians' homes. Farmers are forced to protest because EU leaders group to push for something that will kill EU economy (on instigation of USA led international bodies). All these to create new industries whereby US firms will benefit strongly.

    Politicians CRIMINAL BEHAVIOUR.
    If people wish to have a Peace and better Government, they need to state and Set-up Demands and Mandatory Punishments.
    Some of them could be like that;
    ALL PUBLIC SERVANTS, on any level including Police, Military, Congress people, Senators people and President.
    They ALL Must learn, Understand and become part of Relationship with:
    * Honesty,
    * Responsibility,
    * Modesty,
    * Morality,
    * Dependability.
    ON the JOB and IN PRIVATE life.
    CORRUPTION and Bribs giving-A-way or Taking briabs on any level Should NOT be TOLERATED and Should be
    NOT FORGIVEN.

    All the mainstream media and their mainstream supporting psychophants on Youtube keep repeating how much "subsidies" farmers in the EU are getting. Well its bullshit and its a ploy. But The euphemism "subsidies" doesn't fly anymore – the corrupt EU bureaucrats took and "ot" that money from the people in the first place. And they have created the fake debt through filling their banker friends with money from the debt based money creation central banking scheme to make it look like we "cant afford" farmers or real food. What we pay farmers is there to not only get affordable food, its there to make sure we HAVE food that's healthy – the EU wants to put the majority of farmers out of business so that ONLY THEY and THEIR GIGA FARMS can sell their GMO ultraprocessed foods to ALL the population made from the cheapest insect and larvae protein possible – aggrobusiness is NOT on the side of the simple lone farmer – all this is there to remove the only healthy food from people: beef, and meat production in general, making sure the elites are the only ones who control food production and get to decide that we eat insect protein and they eat beef. If they control food production they can force people off the land when its no longer affordable to farm and no longer even possible to live on selling farm produce. In the end the elites and bureaucrats can CREATE fake food crisises and pretend people "have to" eat insect protein, because its supposedly "not viable" and "not possible" to produce enough healthy meat, cheese or milk or indeed ANY non-ultraprocessed (read: cheap unhealthy substitute inferior ingredients ) "green" alternatives.

    The next generations will be living in a medieval dystopia were they are kept off the elites "property" : the land – in their elitist "ecotopia", while the populations will be locked into vast suburbs by force without cars and fed insect protein with food additives that make them sterile until the elites have reached their "acceptable" population "levels" or just made people apathetic to their situation as they have never known any other. This sounded crazy in the past – but now we hear them admitting that there's "too many people" and seeing them administer vaxs that make females sterile, and doing nothing to curb industrial pollutants that also get into the food chain and make women AND men sterile: PFAS non stick chemicals that are coated on ALL the cook ware of low income people, while the rich in the know eat off the safe stuff.

    Ignoring real health problems for decades while pretending climate si the only problem ( no mammals die from 2 degrees warmth, all life on the planet has lived through thousands of warm periods the past 50 million years and survived them all ) yet these corrupt EU bureaucrats have done NOTHING to curb prevent or stop the forever chemicals PFAS, PFO's BPO's BPA's Bisphenols and all the thousands of variations of these that are all endocrine disruptors and hormone inhibitors that get concentrated in all marine mammals the worst, which will make whales, orcas and dolphins sterile in only a few generations – NONE of these sea mammals are threatened by 2-4 or even 6 degrees hotter climate, and never were – nor are we – the main part of non ice age earth has ALWAYS been way hotter than today for 50 – 100 million years and ALL life today survived it.

    And the elitists KNOW it – So theres another agenda than "climate change" behind destroying our food supply chain and replacing it with their new system. Blade Runner 2049 was a way of laughing in our face like they always do and saying to themselves : "we can shove it in their face and they still wont understand it" – right up to the Drone use which we see perversely used in the Ukraine – making people cheer when they see a human being killed with a drone. The mass media has always had a veritable army of people paid to explain away all of such processes as they play out – and large portions of the population have youth who are willing to believe them and cheer for the explaining away in order to get into better paid jobs in the very system that enslaves the majority.

    Thats what happens when you deliver the economy to some billionaires thanks to the "debt". Those are just the firsts signs of what's to come. A simple alarm. But something tells me these morons will just try to destroy the alarm hoping it stops the fire while they transfert more of our countries in the hand of our private owners.

    WEF global economic form.
    is an illegal group of rich people who have invaded the EU/Brussels. The G20.WEF members are also not elected.
    so many years later, the poletisies automatically go to the WEF, trudeau macron vanderlei markrutte, even to American politicians.
    so that they are influenced by money?.
    Wef controls the taking of land from farmers.
    controlling environments partially green.
    they want this to go way beyond farmers and waking people up.
    look for clause change

    you've miss characterized Diesel taxes or the lack of them for Farm vehicles as a "subsidy" it isnt. Taxes on diesel or gas are for roads.Guess what; farm tractors rarely use roads, few have license plates. Hence taxes for roads never made any sence for farm vehicles and should not be levied. You are of course to stupid to figure that out – and there is an end game; try to force farmers off their land; and why ? So corporations can own it. Why because you must eat – so you''ll pay. Even in a very bad economy – might there be a very bad economy coming ? guess.
