US Farmers Impacted by Trade War

China has stopped buying soybeans from the US. They now mostly buy from Brazil and Argentina. Then peculiarly, for some reason, the US has just bailed out Argentina after its economy collapsed yet again. Yeah, it doesn't make sense.

This is turning out to be massive act of self-harm committed by the Trump administration, but they don't appear capable of admitting they got it badly wrong with these ridiculous tariffs.

New Zealand: Political Party Representing Farmers

We need a political movement to protect New Zealand's farmers. With the proposed three waters reforms, farmers will soon lose access to water. Then, the current government is moving to limit emissions from farms. Think what is happening in The Netherlands and you won't be far wrong. There, farms are going to have to shrink stock numbers, wiping out 30% of all farms. It is land theft pure and simple. 

Clearly there is a global agenda being rolled out whereby corporate interests are taking control of the food supply. This is a danger to everyone but farmers can prevent it by forming a political party and winning enough seats through NZ's MMP electoral system. They would only need to win a seat or gain 5% of the party vote, an easily achievable target given the number of farmers and people living in rural communities.

Traditionally, NZ farmers have been National party members. But National is essentially an urban party and are constantly chasing the liberal urban middle class vote. To gain power, they'll easily throw farmers under the bus.

Farmers must resist current measures; 3 Waters and emissions regulations. Both are wolves in sheep's clothing. The real agenda is to take effective control of the land, driving farmers into penury.

Farmers - Wake Up

With the car tax, err, I mean support for EV's now upon us, time to remind New Zealand farmers how stupid they are. They constantly vote CCP National. This means the other parties don't give a flying fu** about farmers. And CCP National don't care either as they can count on farmers no matter what.

And then Ardern could, possibly, maybe, wink wink, steal or transfer their party votes whichever way she likes, just so Hollywood and the movie makes her look good. Muslims one minute, farmers the next and saving the planet. Everyone must play their part in her rise to superstardom and total wonderfulness.

Here's a suggestion farmers. Get off China's teat and stop thinking the CCP National Party of Wokeland Aotearoa will some day save your sorry arses. They won't, even if they win an election some time this millennium, they'll just give you your money back in order to take it away again in some other way.

No, what you've got to do is create uncertainty. Or join the Greens and use the democratic process to take them over. When I suggested that on Twitter last year, the Greens just about had brain aneurisms they were that apoplectic with rage. But really do it. If farmers got off their fat Hilux-riding arses and behaved strategically, they could shut down the Greens and have an honest debate about the direction of the country. Cosying up to the traitors that are the CCP National Dimwits is not the answer.
