A Reminder About Farmers Being Pressured Not to Make Food

Plus: the digital public infrastructure idea; Democrats' previous oppposition to surveillance state; more evidence of Russia-Ukraine heating up;

Here are summaries of the top parapolitical stories from yesterday September 11, 2023:

+ Globalist Hostile Takeover of Agriculture

Following an alleged Nitrogen Crisis, the Dutch government suggested a radical measure to halve the country's livestock herds to mitigate agricultural pollution. In 2022, a plan was proposed to acquire 3,000 Dutch farms, compelling farmers to sell even if they refuse the offer. This escalated into a conflict involving farmers, who have historical roots in Dutch agriculture. Documentary filmmaker James Patrick's latest film, "NITROGEN 2000," suggests this is part of a larger, concerning global pattern that could lead to skyrocketing food prices or even famine. Critics liken these actions to dictatorial tactics used historically against independent farmers.

+ Digital Public Infrastructure fuses Digital ID, CBDC & data sharing for 15-minute smart city governance

Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) is an emerging concept garnering attention for its potential benefits and drawbacks. DPI combines technologies like digital ID, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), vaccine passports, and carbon footprint trackers to enable surveillance, control, and service delivery on societal levels. While it promises convenience, improved healthcare, financial inclusion, and sustainable development, it also raises concerns about privacy, citizen trust, and potential misuse by governments or corporations. DPI is inseparable with digital ID and is a core part of future smart cities where every activity could be tracked and governed digitally. Critics warn it could lead to a social credit system and impose restrictions under the guise of crises, but proponents laud its potential to advance towards global goals.

+ The Next Phase in Ukraine

Boris Johnson, the former UK Prime Minister, continues to show vested interest in Ukraine amidst its ongoing conflict with Russia. His recent surprise visit reasserted his commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and hinted at a new phase in the war. Johnson's visit to Ukraine's President Zelenskyy coincides with NATO's intention to conduct its biggest military exercise since the cold war, intended to deter a possible Russian invasion. Johnson's influence on Ukraine's strategic decisions, coupled with increasing international presence, suggest escalating tensions ahead. This high-stakes turmoil seems to serve as an opportunity for global powers to extend their reach and establish more extensive control.

+ Democrats Once Opposed the Post-September 11th Expansion of the Surveillance State

In response to the 9/11 terror attacks, President George W. Bush created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), an agency aimed at domestic national security. Initially opposed by Democrats who feared infringements on civil liberties, the DHS has substantially expanded in both size and scope, going from a $46 billion budget in 2003 to $103 billion presently. The perception of its role has also shifted from terrorism-warding to social media monitoring, which the DHS views as a threat to “our democratic institutions and national cohesiveness.” Despite objections regarding civil liberties and free speech, oversight of social platforms is growing, as it is considered crucial in countering misinformation and protecting election integrity.
