Thanks PH. Well done the Dutch farmers. Let this pitchfork revolution grow into a worldwide genuine, real green, proper grass roots revolution.

Here is a Twitter channel that has been tracking the media exposure (being invited to talks shows etc) political parties have been receiving in the period leading up to the election. As you see, BBB has been getting lots of media attention, while at the bottom (FVD, PVV and BVNL) have been getting ZERO media coverage! Take a wild guess: why do you think BBB, the establishment ‘opposition’ political parties and the government parties got pumped 24/7 in the media while other parties got ZERO coverage? Who do you think poses the biggest danger to the WEF and their puppets in Dutch politics? Public/state-owned TV: https://twitter.com/MOptredens/status/1636335107828076544 and Dutch commercial TV stations: https://twitter.com/MOptredens/status/1636438431034396673

Here is Eva Vlaardingerbroek (known from Mark Steyn’s show and Tucker Carlson) with a sobering analysis: https://twitter.com/EvaVlaar/status/1636131956357201921

Again: NOTHING has changed and NOTHING will change with these results.

I don't know what they were voting for (or against) but at least they voted.

Not that it matters, not even one little bit, what with the Euro "Masters."

Sorry Peter, but you couldn’t be more wrong! The farmers will get f*cked BIG time! Scratch beneath the surface and you’ll quickly see that BBB (Beweging Boeren Belang, the party) and Caroline van der Plas (the party leader) are controlled opposition. Basically they FOLLOW the WEF ‘green’ nitrogen narrative, but they just want a ‘slightly delayed’ implementation. It’s sad to see all the usual suspects (Dr. Malone, you, and Canadian journalists from the ‘Canadian Trucker Movement’) jump onto this news and cheerlead this as a ‘victory’ without actually knowing any facts! In case you speak Dutch, this is an excerpt posted by a REAL opposition party, and it’s from the Dutch public i.e. government propaganda (pro WEF!) media and they basically say the same as I just did: BBB will cooperate to achieve the nitrogen targets by 2035: https://twitter.com/fvdemocratie/status/1636702401703956480

Fair call.

I read into the result what I wanted to.

I am not intimately acquainted with Dutch politics. I did refer to the "line green" rather than "green" objectives.

Do yoiu have a good source for higher quality reporting?

I translated that tweet via google to this:

Rare good analysis by the NPO (of course only after the elections): Van der Plas just wants to achieve the nitrogen targets - only a little later. She supports the big direction it's going. Voters are deceived if they think BBB is going to force fundamental change.

Is this a better source?

I think FVD would be a better opposition party, but that’s personal. The source of that video however is the NPO, the Netherlands Public Broadcasting (service). The translation is fairly good. She (Caroline v/d Plas) more or less wants the same as PM Rutte who sent the riot police after the Dutch farmers and Dutch Covid measures protesters.

Any time! I’m Dutch (but living abroad) yet if you want some more info about EU or Dutch politics next time, just contact me! 👍🏻 p.s. I’m also fluent in German, and I see similar misinterpretations in North American ‘Alt media’ about German politics with regards to their stance towards Russia/Ukraine, their crazy Green Transformation („Energiewende“) and the general German mentality if obeying orders as what happened with the Covid Police State.
