Are Elites Planning to Expropriate Dutch Farmland to Support an Enormous ‘Smart City’?
We are at war in Europe. But not with Russia. The enemy does not have boots on the ground, tanks, machine guns or bombs; we cannot see it.
It is a devious, insidious many-headed hydra shaping our lives, aided by those who are meant to represent us. A critical battle line has opened up against this amorphous enemy in the heart of Europe. In the Netherlands.
Brave Dutch farmers have mobilised their tractors, their slurry tankers and their bales of straw; they have taken to the streets to protest, as we first reported here and they have not let up.
After a tumultuous summer of protests by farmers over so called ‘pollution’ regulations – the Dutch government’s edict that will require farmers to curb their nitrogen emissions by up to 70 per cent in the next eight years – the Dutch agriculture minister, Henk Staghouwer, has resigned after only nine months in office telling reporters that he wasn’t the right person for the job. Indeed.
We would do well to pay attention. They are protesting on our behalf. They are taking on what’s been aptly described as ‘a corporatised “sustainability” agenda crafted by a billionaire-backed “green” elite with no popular constituency’.
Invisible institutions such as the World Economic Forum, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, as well as a bevy of transnational corporations, are key ‘stakeholders’ in this closely-knit network. These are the unelected figures who are influencing government policy in supposedly sovereign states across the globe.
The Dutch government plans to spend 25billion euros expropriating 11,200 farms – allegedly to cut nitrogen emissions in half by 2030. This will mean the loss of 20 per cent of farms, while another 33 per cent will be forced to scale back and reduce livestock.
The madness of these cuts comes at a time of global food and fertiliser shortages, when Holland is the second-largest food exporter after the US. It now risks following Sri Lanka in becoming a major importer as opposed to an exporter of food.
As well as the timing, what makes Dutch farmers so suspicious is that the curb on nitrogen emissions falls disproportionately on farming, when industry and transport are also major polluters. There is however a logic to this if the specific motive for this appropriation of their land and livelihood is the Tristatecity.
The Tristatecity is a ‘smart city’ project which began to emerge as a concept in 2015. It is the vision of Peter Savelberg, a Dutch consultant, to create a giant megalopolis from Holland through Belgium to the Ruhr in Germany, incorporating 30million to 45million people.
The Dutch Parliament Takes a Stand Against South Africa’s Land Expropriation Policy of Taking Land from White Farmers
The Solidarity Movement – which includes trade union Solidarity –
said that it welcomed a motion adopted by the Dutch parliament on
Thursday that “spoke out strongly” against steps being taken to allow
for land expropriation in South Africa.
“A
majority of members in the Second Chamber of the Dutch Parliament voted
in favour of the motion and thereby instructed the Dutch government to
take a clear stand on this issue through bilateral and other processes,”
said Jaco Kleynhans, the head of international liaison for the
Solidarity Movement.
Details of the motion presented to the Dutch parliament
Kleynhans
said the motion was tabled by Martijn van Helvert of the Christian
Democratic Appeal and Kees van der Staaij, leader of the Staatkundig
Gereformeerde Partij.
“Over
the past few months, the Solidarity Movement has made extensive efforts
to inform politicians and other leaders in the Netherlands and in other
European countries of the intended expropriation without compensation,
which would be catastrophic,” said Kleynhans.
He said the organisation met with various politicians, including Van Helvert and Van der Staaij, in February.
“As
a consequence of the way in which the parliamentary committee
investigating constitutional amendments to allow for land expropriation
without compensation has shown contempt for our admonishments for
caution, and for that of others, the Solidarity Movement had no choice
but to internationalise this matter.
South Africa: Zulu King Worries His Property Can Be Seized, Too. He Is Teaming Up with White Farmers to Develop Farming on His Land.
South Africa’s Zulu king and Afrikaans nationalist group AfriForum are forming a partnership to develop the agriculture on vast swathes of land the monarch controls through a trust, AfriForum’s CEO said on Tuesday.
The move comes as the ruling African National Congress (ANC) takes steps to change the constitution to expropriate land without compensation while also seeking to provide security of tenure to people living on royal tribal lands – policies opposed by AfriForum and the king.
“We are finalising a memorandum of understanding to make the agreement formal,” AfriForum Chief Executive Kallie Kriel told Reuters.
King Goodwill Zwelithini controls 2.8 million hectares, a fragmented sub-tropical area the size of Belgium, under an entity called the Ingonyama Trust.
“We have numerous members that have successful farms in the vicinity of the trust. The idea is to get a formula where there can be cooperation between our members and people living on the trust land to stimulate agricultural development,” Kriel said.
Much of the farming in those areas is focused on sugar, cattle, game and high-value fruit such as avocados. AfriForum is generally seen as a right-wing, nationalist group that has lobbied for support for “white rights” in the United States.
The eNCA news channel’s website on Tuesday quoted the king as saying: “I’m asking AfriForum … to come and help us. They are willing to work with me and my father’s people to uplift agriculture in our land.”
The monarch, who wields influence over millions of rural voters, reiterated his warnings to the ANC not to include his territory in its land reform drive.
Spokesman for Revolutionary Socialist Party in South Africa Says White “Existence Is a Crime”
Remember folks: white people are not being targeted in South Africa and President Trump and others who suggest otherwise are conspiracy theorists!
From Daniel Friedman, Citizen.co.za, “White existence is a crime, says BLF spokesperson”:
The BLF spokesperson has posted views reflecting his party’s belief that all white people in South Africa are criminals by virtue of their existence.
Black First, Land First spokesperson Lindsay Maasdorp has told the author of this article and others about the controversial party that my “existence is a crime.”
He also repeated his party’s slogan, “land or death.”
[…]Maasdorp’s assertion that, as a white person, “my existence is a crime,” provides some insight into the party’s apparent belief that, due to the theft of land by white people during colonisation and apartheid, all white South Africans are therefore criminals, regardless of when they were born and what their political views, history or affiliations may be.
At the recent land hearings held in parliament, Mngxitama called for section 25 of the Constitution to be scrapped entirely to ensure that all land owned by white people is returned to their black counterparts.
The BLF leader said this section should be replaced with a declaration that all land owned by white people in South Africa was stolen property.
Mngxitama has repeatedly made the assertion that absolutely all land occupied by white South Africans should be expropriated.
This makes the party the most extreme in South Africa when it comes to the land issue and in its attitude to white people in general.
They have been accused of hate speech by the South African Human Rights Commision, who have recommended that the party be prevented from contesting the 2019 elections on the grounds that they have made statements violating the Electoral Act.
Maasdorp has come under fire in the past for his posting on both Facebook and Twitter that “I have aspirations to kill white people, and this must be achieved!”
The UN IMF Approves of South Africa’s Expropriation of Land from White Farmers. South African Bank Demands Loans Be Paid in Full.
Summary by JW Williams
The United Nations’ International Monetary Fund (IMF), known for plundering the third world, approves of South Africa’s controversial land reform as long as the highly contentious process is “rules-based” and transparent, according to the fund’s representative in the country. The draft reform, which reportedly provoked violent attacks and even murders of white farmers, triggered a great uproar internationally.
Meanwhile, Nedbank in South Africa is demanding that all property loans must be paid in full even if the government confiscates the land from white farmers without compensation.
The South African communist African National Congress (ANC) ruling government aims to expropriate both urban land and farmland owned by whites. According to civil rights organization AfriForum, the ANC’s claim that whites own up to 80% of the land in the country is false, and accurate figures show that the government owns 24% of the land while an additional 34.5% of the land is owned by black people.
Most of the land claims filed by blacks are for urban areas. According to a lands bank study, more than 90% of farms redistributed since the fall of apartheid in 1994 have failed and turned into squatters’ camps or subsistence farms. Land expropriation will scare off investors.
Josef Dreyer of Raka Wines in South Africa explained that entrepreneurs who are barely propping up a populace heavily dependent on tax dollars being contributed by a precious few. He says there is a wide gap between the rich and the poor and only 13% of the population of 56 million people are paying income taxes and keep the country running. 18 million of the 56 million is reliant on social grants, and unemployment is at 37.5%. He stated that it is much easier to hand out land as money is “drying up.”

UK Prime Minister Theresa May, While Visiting South Africa, Announced Support for Land Expropriation from White Farmers
May told guests of the British High Commission in Cape Town before meeting President Cyril Ramaphosa.
“I welcome the comments that President Ramaphosa has already made, bearing in mind the economic and social aspects of it. I think he’s made some comments that it won’t be a smash and grab approach. I think there’s an opportunity to unlock investment,” she said.
Is she going to dance with Julius Malema next while chanting, “Shoot the Boer”?
Not only has she stabbed Brexit voters in the back and sabotaged relations with Russia over the highly questionable Skripal poisoning scheme but now she’s endorsing racial revenge-based wholesale land theft.
US State Department Endorses South Africa’s Plan To Legalize Stealing Land from Farmers Based on Skin Color
South Africa Officially Begins Its Program of Seizing White-Owned Farms
The South African government is believed to have seized at least two farms owned by white South Africans after those farmers refused a government offer of one-tenth their land’s value, beginning what experts believe to be a country-wide “expropriation” of white-owned land.
According to reports, the South African government offered to buy land from two white farmers in the country’s northern region of Limpopo. After the two farmers quoted their price (around $18 million) the government came back with offers one-tenth of asking, a mere $1.8 million. When the farmers refused the offer, the government issued a summons, evicting the farmers from their land.

Josef Dreyer of Raka Wines addressed the developing land expropriation process and the danger South Africa faces if it further cripples private industry and entrepreneurs who are barely propping up a populace heavily dependent on tax dollars being contributed by a precious few.
“We are one of the countries with a wide gap between the rich and the poor, where 13 percent of the South African population of 56 million people are the ones paying income taxes,” Dreyer said in his interview with RT. “Yes, 13 percent make the country run. 18 million of the 56 million is reliant on social grants, and unemployment is at 37.5 percent, so yes it is much easier to hand out land as the money is drying up.”
