Netherlands Nitrogen Policy Will Severely Damage Farming
In early June 2022, the government of The Netherlands announced it would cut the size of livestock herds in the country by 30 percent to meet European Union nitrogen and ammonia pollution rules.
As a result of this “green” policy, many farmers will be driven out of business3 and they have gathered in protest across the country.
This is important because many may not realize that even though The Netherlands is a small country, it’s the second-largest exporter of agriculture in the world, after the United States.4 As with current energy shortages, the forced reductions in farming and food production are said to be an “unavoidable” part of the Green Agenda to improve air, soil and water quality.5
In a public statement about the new emissions targets, the Dutch government even admitted that “The honest message … is that not all farmers can continue their business.”6 Those who do continue will have to come up with creative solutions to meet the new emissions restrictions.
A Clear Case of Corruption?
The restrictions on nitrogen for livestock farmers have befuddled many. Why would government restrict farming at a time when food shortages and famine loom on the horizon worldwide? Some claim to have discovered conflicts of interest within the Dutch government that can help explain this irrational move.7
The newly assigned Minister for Nature and Nitrogen Policy (who created the nitrogen regulations and is responsible for overseeing the cuts to farming), Christianne van der Wal-Zeggelink, is married to Piet van der Wal, who together with his brother, Bouke van der Wal, own a massive supermarket chain called Boni.
As noted by The Conservative Treehouse,8 “when Dutch farmers sell product to Boni they are directly funding the wealth of the government minister who seeks to destroy their livelihoods.”
The van der Wal family is also heavily invested in a major online grocery retailer called Picnic. Picnic buys food at wholesale prices directly from Boni, which minimizes its operational costs. Picnic basically functions as a home delivery service for Boni.
In September 2021, Bill Gates entered the Dutch enterprise. He invested an estimated half-billion dollars into Picnic, thereby becoming one of its lead investors.9 Not surprisingly, Picnic focuses on selling the fake “food” that Gates is invested in and promotes, imitation beef in particular.
The CEO of Picnic, Michiel Muller, a Dutch climate change activist, has also publicly vowed to “change the entire food system” to be in line with sustainable goals,10 which falls right in line with Gates’ agenda.
The strong recommendation to replace beef with fake meat was made in Gates’ book “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need,” released in February 2021.11 In an interview with MIT Technology Review, he also suggested that people could learn to like fake meat and, if resistance continues, regulations may be needed to force the switch.12
According to The Countersignal,13 “many participating in the ongoing farmers’ protests in Holland have openly stated they believe Gates may be partly responsible for pushing additional climate laws.” Curiously, July 10, 2022, a large Picnic delivery facility in Almelo, Holland, burned to the ground under mysterious circumstances.14,15,16
Why Get Rid of Farmers Amid Rising Food Insecurity?
The attempt to rid The Netherlands of livestock farmers really only makes sense if seen from the globalists’ point of view, with an eye on The Great Reset, the Green New Deal, Agenda 2030 and related Sustainable Development Goals.
So, the new nitrogen rules are basically a precursor to a land grab. They intend to put farmers out of business so they can take their land and stack it full of low-income, government-assistance apartment buildings.
Aside from that, farmers also pose a threat to the technocratic elitists because they don’t need to rely on government for basics such as food and shelter, and they can allow those who buy their food to maintain their independence as well.
The globalists’ plan is to eliminate access to as much real food as possible, and replace natural foods with patented foodstuffs so that the population becomes entirely dependent on them for survival.
At that point, they are easily controlled. Eliminating independent food producers — farmers — is therefore a key to the globalist cabal’s eventual success.
Gates Gobbles Up Farmland While Pushing Fake Foods
At the same time the Dutch government is preparing to radically restrict livestock farming and meat production — likely with Gates’ blessing, if not due to his influence — Gates is gobbling up farmland back home.
Despite land prices being at a record-high, Gates purchased a 2,100-acre potato farm in North Dakota in June 2022, bringing the total land share held by the Gates’ Red River Trust above 270,000 acres — up from about 242,000 acres in mid-September 2021.
The following map, from AgWeb,17 shows the distribution of his land holdings prior to his North Dakota acquisition. As you can see, the vast majority is farmland.
Gates Plan: Turn Farmers Into Modern Serfs
However, as reported by AgWeb at the end of June 2022, Gates didn’t get a warm welcome:18
“North Dakota hosts ‘corporate farming laws’ that barres [sic] corporations and limited liability companies from owning and leasing farms and ranches. With the Gates’s new $13.5 million farmland purchase, North Dakotans — including the attorney general — are concerned the sale violates the state’s law.
The North Dakota attorney general’s office sent a letter to the Red River Trust on Tuesday, alerting the trustee of the North Dakota land law.
‘Our office needs to confirm how your company uses this land and whether this use meets any of the statutory exceptions, such as the business purpose exception,’ wrote Drew Wrigley, North Dakota attorney general.”
MoneyWise19 followed up on the story, reporting that by July 5, 2022, Gates had secured legal approval for his farm purchase — a decision that has raised the ire of many North Dakotans who don’t believe Gates has good intentions.
According to MoneyWise, “The anti-corporate farming law does allow individual trusts to own farmland if it is leased to farmers — and that’s what Gates’ firm plans to do.” Viewed from the perspective of The Great Reset, it appears Gates may be engaged in the same kind of subversive wealth-shift scheme as BlackRock and other investment groups that are buying up single-family homes.
They buy them, often sight-unseen and at above-market prices, with the intent of turning them into rentals. This too is part and parcel of The Great Reset and the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.
The intent is to eliminate all private ownership and turn the population into modern serfs.
“Serf” is a term that describes people who are required to work for the “lord” who owns the land they live on, or who are otherwise underpaid, overworked or exploited in some way.
That’ll be all of us, one day, if the world doesn’t wake up and refuse to go along with the globalist cabal’s Great Reset plans.
The plight of the Dutch farmers is just the beginning.

Does these morons realize we live in an atmosphere that has Nitrogen as the number one gas with 78% and Oxygen with 21% of the total which makes it 99% of all gases?.
Nitrogen is used by LEGUME plants such as Black Locust, Peas, Beans, Peanuts, Lime Beans and other plants that have bacteria and root nodules to bring in the nitrogen into the plant.

Hi Sunset,
Don’t worry.They plan to pass regulations preventing lightning from striking the ground, birds from shitting, and hefty fines for animals that pee on the ground.

The Industrial Revolution increased CO2 which Nature was efficiently removing from the atmosphere. The invention of the process to use atmospheric nitrogen to make ammonia and fertilizer is probably the only reason the population exploded up to 8 billion….before Haber invented the process…..and Haber was the German chemist who also invented Zyklon to kill insects and suggested chlorine gas as a WW1 weapon…..bird guano was a very valuable substance but the bird guano was being used up. I see no way 8 billion can be fed w/o man-made nitrate fertilizers.

in it’s core all this “agendas” are anti-life! all!
too bad that we, 99%, consist mostly of stupid “back to normal” sheople who won’t see it even when they live under the bridge begging for a handful of warms. they will still believe that this virus is really something…just hold on we we’ll get “back to normal”.
embarrassing, really

Hi readers and the illiterate. Atmospheric hydrogen is of different molecular structure to nitrogen used in chemical fertilizers.
Chemistry and toxicology behind chemical fertilizers
Stalin Nadarajan, Surya Sukumaran, in Controlled Release Fertilizers for Sustainable Agriculture, 2021
3.1 Nitrogenous fertilizers
Globally, application of nitrogenous fertilizer has increased rapidly and it is expected to increase by four to fivefold by 2050 with two-third of that application in developing countries [62]. Nitrogenous fertilizers are those fertilizers which contain N as the chief component in their final product. In nitrogenous fertilizer, N is present as ammoniacal nitrogen such as ammonium chloride, ammonium sulfate; nitrate nitrogen like calcium ammonium nitrate in which both ammoniacal and nitrate nitrogen are present; and urea (amide nitrogen). The most important and commonly used nitrogenous fertilizers are urea and ammonium sulfate.
Nitrogenous fertilizers can be classified into four classes based on forms of nitrogen (N) present in straight nitrogenous fertilizers:
1.
Nitrate nitrogen-containing fertilizers (NO3-N):
e.g., NaNO3—16% N; Ca(NO3)2—15.5% N
2.
Ammonium containing nitrogenous fertilizers (NH4-N):
e.g., (NH4)2SO4—20% N; NH4Cl—24% to 26% N, anhydrous ammonia, 82% N
3.
Both NH4 and NO3-N containing nitrogenous fertilizers:
e.g., ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3)—33% to 34% N, calcium ammonium nitrate—20% N
4.
Amide fertilizers—it is the organic form of N-containing fertilizers:
e.g., Urea [CO(NH2)2]—46% N, calcium cyanamide (CaCN2)—21% N.
3.1.1 Ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2SO4]
Mathematical
3.1.1.1 Synthesis
When nitrogen and hydrogen in the ratio of 1:3 are passed over heated (500°C) platinized asbestos or powdered iron at a pressure of 250 atm, ammonia is formed which is further passed through a suspension of gypsum in water through which carbon dioxide is also passed. The resulting calcium carbonate is removed by filtration. When aqueous solution of ammonium sulfate is evaporated, crystals of ammonium sulfate are formed, which are dried and bagged.
METABOLIC PATHWAYS | Nitrogen Metabolism
R. Jeannotte, in Encyclopedia of Food Microbiology (Second Edition), 2014
Nitrogen Fixation
This is the essential process by which atmospheric nitrogen (N2) is converted into ammonia (NH3) by a multicomponent nitrogenase system. A diversity of bacteria, in symbiosis (such as rhizobia with legumes) or free living (e.g., species of Azotobacter, Enterobacter, Clostridium, Rhodospirillum, Methylococcus, etc.), and cyanobacteria have the capacity to fix atmospheric nitrogen. The process is coupled to the hydrolysis of 12–16 molecules of ATP, as well as six to eight electrons, to breakdown the triple bond of atmospheric nitrogen. Molecular hydrogen is formed as the coproduct of the reaction. The general reaction is as follows:
Regardless of a diversity of organisms capable of fixing nitrogen, the nitrogenase complex seems to be notably similar in most organisms. Essentially, two oxygen-sensitive proteins compose nitrogenase complexes: Component I (dinitrogenase) is a molybdenum (in some cases, vanadium)–iron protein containing two subunits and Component II (dinitrogenase reductase) is an iron–sulfur protein responsible of transferring electrons to dinitrogenase. Because these protein complexes are susceptible to destruction by oxygen, an anaerobic environment is essential for nitrogenase activity. Many microorganisms that fix nitrogen exist only in anaerobic conditions. They usually respire to draw down oxygen levels or to bind oxygen with a protein such as leghemoglobin. Others, such as cyanobacteria, sequestrate nitrogenase system in specialized cells (heterocysts).

The general reaction would not copy and paste.
Probably Herb Rose’s fault but I can not figure out how.

Hi Matt,
I have done some experimentation. And I believe I know what is going on but I will not tell you here because maybe it best even if I usually compose a document to avoid tying up PSI’s website, copy, and paste.
