Protests are not working. They are great for getting attention and expressing discontent, but dictators don’t care how discontented you grow and only respond with contempt and malicious spite.
Klaus Schwab wrote to his fellow oligarchs, “We must prepare for an angrier world.” Our anger only amuses them. (Though I like to think Trudeau messed himself when he saw the Freedom Convoy.)
In the Netherlands the government is taking away produce and livestock.
The farmers and fisherman are staging a blockade. A peaceful protest. Unfortunately, they will still get their stuff stolen by the state, get prosecuted, and many will blame the food shortages on them.
What they could try instead is:
Waste the bureaucracy’s time. Find as many ways as possible to delay without flat out refusing to get rid of livestock and food.
During this extra time, sell the produce they want to confiscate. Directly to people. Stand in front of Walmart or Meijers and hand out flyers saying you have food for sale when the shelves start getting sparse. Mail them to neighbors. If you can’t sell it all, give it to people in places with bare shelves. Maybe tell them the government will confiscate it so you want them to have it so they can feed their children. You, their neighbor, are looking out for them. (They’ll find out their government is not.)
Sell livestock. Avoid butchering if possible. Though better sell or give the meat away than have them steal it all after killing the animals. You might want to try hiding some smaller animals with neighbors if possible. Get them back after the bean counters leave.
By the time the Klaus’s puppet feds sent their agents out, there would be little to nothing left for them to wantonly destroy.
This probably contains some illegalities but since it’s not a direct challenge the penalties won’t be as severe. It will feed the people of Holland and help the farmers earn a bigger profit than if the bean counters destroyed everything.
It’s hard to deny there is prophetic tones to all this. If indeed we are living through the last cycle described in Revelation, then many will be completely oblivious. Spirituality, i.e.: the weight of sin vs the fruits of honest prayer, fasting, and Almsgiving; will likely be centre stage. If we are however to try and make any headway via the intellectual route, our best bet is to compare the WEF & “Progressive left *cough communist cough* socialist” philosophy to historical atrocity.
I am certain if we keep an eye on their interviews and monologues their words and ideas will synchronize with other evil regimes through history.
Nazi,
Soviet,
Khmer Rouge,
Hutu (Rwanda),
RUF (Sierra Leone),
VRS/Scorpions (Bosnia),
Evil ideology, is well, evil. If we can uncover philosophical cross-references from history, this may help sway the odd mind. Sway Hearts? As Catholics/Christians, we best soon remember what Prayer and petition to God is really all about.
