In the wake of rising fuel prices caused by Trump’s war with Iran, massive protests broke out led by farmers in Ireland. Long convoys of trucks and tractors have blocked streets, ports, and oil refineries across the island in response to carbon and fuel taxes. These protests have since been calmed by economic relief packages including reduction of said taxes. Nevertheless, they reflect an increasingly global opposition to the war on farmers against elitist tyranny.

Farmer protests conducted in similar ways have occurred all across Europe, in the Netherlands, France, and Germany, against other authoritarian measures in recent years. Particularly, Dutch farmers were protesting their government’s efforts to seize numerous family owned farms and their livestock. French farmers sprayed manure on government buildings to express their disapproval of hiked taxes on fuel. Similarly, German farmers had the same goal two years ago. These increased taxes and regulations on farming have been implemented largely under the guise of environmental sustainability and mitigating climate change. But what will calm weather and a slightly cooler planet mean if millions of farmers lose their jobs, and prices surge for food, energy, and housing?

Investigating the perpetrators of this war on farmers, we seem to find a common denominator: The World Economic Forum. The WEF, founded by Klaus Schwab, is widely known for bringing together notable politicians, business leaders, and celebrities to Davos in Switzerland each year to discuss the most important political issues. This organization has a so-called “Great Reset” agenda, which calls on governments to implement many of these so-called sustainability measures, recommending the United Nations’ 2030 agenda. And with the organization’s infiltration into governments around the world, its goal is likely to become reality.

Many of the WEF’s Young Global Leaders, awarded the title for being longtime contributing members of the organization, have become presidents, prime ministers, cabinet ministers, or influential business people around the world. These include former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and much of his cabinet, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris, and French President Emmanuel Macron. Additional proposals from the WEF to fight climate change include 15-minute cities, mass production of lab-grown meat, and most delicious of all, eating insects. But the true intention of each of these measures is to reduce the prosperity and liberty for most citizens of the world, so that the billionaire members of the WEF can own everything and be happy. Does it still sound like a coincidence that climate tyranny has infested every country the WEF touches?
