Welsh farmers were due to hold an open meeting at Welshpool Livestock Market yesterday to discuss “how to make rural voices heard”, including a possible demonstration in Cardiff Bay, according to Farmers Weekly.

Also yesterday, a meeting was held at Brecon Livestock Market in Powys County about proposals for the proposed Sustainable Farming Scheme (“SFS”).

Reverend Simon Bowkett attempted to attend the Brecon Livestock Market meeting due to his concerns over the proposed government policies.  In the video below he explains why he was unable to attend. “As a chaplain, I am very concerned for people,” he said.

Wales is a largely rural country.  Approximately 84% of Wales’ land area is used for agriculture.  Holdings in Wales tend to be small family farms.   According to Wikipedia, farm incomes in Wales have fallen over the years as a result of cheap food policies in the UK, the lowering of world commodity prices and the removal of production-based subsidies.

Although Wales forms part of the UK, agriculture is devolved meaning that decision-making powers reside in the Welsh government.

In July 2022, the Welsh Government published a draft SFS the biggest shift in Welsh agricultural policy for a generation or more.

“The biggest threat to food production globally over the medium to long term is climate change,” the Welsh government states.  The Government also states it wants the reduction in Welsh food production – to plant trees or create habitat – “to be seen as protecting the food producing capacity of our land in the context of climate change.”

Pause and consider those two statements together for a moment.  They echo the words of climate doomsday cultist John Kerry at the AIM for Climate Summit in May 2023 when he claimed that the destruction of farming was front and centre in the fight against climate change.

A year after the draft, in July 2023, an update on the SFS was published.  The next stage in the process; the public consultation. In a move that echoes events in Scotland, decisions on the final design of the scheme will not be made until after this consultation has concluded and the responses analysed, The Scottish Farmer reported at the time.

The final SFS consultation was opened in December 2023 and will close on 7 March 2024.

On Monday, the National Farmers Union (“NFU”) Cymru (Wales) urged its members to engage with the final consultation on the SFS. NFU Cymru President Aled Jones said: “The Sustainable Farming Scheme proposals to date have framed Sustainable Land Management through the lens of the environment alone and have failed to recognise the vital economic, social and cultural outcomes provided by Welsh farming, alongside our core role of producing safe, nutritious and affordable food.”

Yesterday, Welsh farmer Gareth Wyn Jones told GB News that British farmers could join those on the Continent in protesting the government.“We’re losing a lot of top-quality land to solar panels to building,” he said. “All these things are taking away our food security in the UK.”

“Governments in the UK need to listen and be very very careful about the way they are treating people who produce the food that feeds them,” he said.

Episode 19: Overthrowing the Monarchy

Living the French Revolution and Age of Napoleon

Dr Suzanne M Desan

Film Review

In July 1792, as Prussian and Austrian troops prepared to invade France to crush the revolution, thousands of volunteers (Federés), flowed into Paris to save it. The National Assembly authorized an additional 2,000 national guards and passed a law to deport any priest denounced by 20 citizens for refusing to swear to uphold the constitution. Louis XVI’s veto of these new laws led to a massive insurrection, as ten thousands Parisians marched on the Tuilleries palace. After forcing the king to put on a red liberty cap and drink a toast to France, they departed peacefully.

By this point, France had organized one of the first viable direct, participatory democracies. Each of the 48 Paris neighborhoods had its own “section,” where citizens met to debate political proposals, submit petitions to the National Assembly, secure. Each section sent representatives to the Commune (the municipal government of Paris).

According to Desan, most of the sections were dominated by “San Culottes,”* who believed insurrection was the ultimate determinant of democracy and wanted the monarchy abolished. Still dominated by Girondins, who supported a constitutional monarchy, the National Assembly ignored the Paris sections call to remove the king from power. To defend the King, Lafayette, who commanded the National Guard, returned from the front and tried to pressure the legislature to close down the Jacobin clubs and radical press

On July 11, the Paris Assembly declared France in imminent danger of invasion and assumed emergency powers. The same day Federés from all over France arrived in Paris, sending delegates to the Paris Assembly and parading through the streets calling for the king to be overthrown and Lafayette impeached. The latter organized a personal army to march on Paris and escort the king to safety in Normandy. Marie Antoinette vetoed this proposal because she didn’t trust Lafayette.

The sections, which met nightly, violated the constitution by allowing “passive” citizens (men without property) to participate in their meetings. 24,000 Parisians met almost every night in the 48 different sections.

On July 29, 47 of the 48 sections demanded the National Assembly overthrow the king. By now, many deputies had abandoned the National Assembly and those who remained engaged in stalling maneuvers. Meanwhile the commander of the Prussian forces threatened to decimate any city that harmed Louis XVI and right wing newspapers published the names of revolutionaries the Prussians planned to execute.

On August 9, Sans Culottes rang church bells throughout Paris calling people to action. At dawn two columns of Federés and armed Sans Culottes (1100 from the Saint Antoine neighborhood near the former Bastille and 1500 from the Left Bank) marched to the Tuilleries, with massive crowds behind them.

The palace was defended by 800 Swiss guards, 200 royalist volunteers and 1200 national guards (although many deserted to join the insurgents). Vastly outnumbered, those who survived the attack surrendered the palace at 3 pm.  Four hundred insurgents were killed and 800 palace guards.

At the town hall, a newly selected Paris Commune assumed temporary control of France, imprisoned the royal family and ordered the creation of a new Convention via universal manhood suffrage. As Prussians troops crossed the border into France, 20,000 men volunteered to fight them as the Convention declared a republic..

Lafayette fled into Austria, where he was imprisoned for five years.

.*The San Culottes (Without Britches) adopted this name to distinguish themselves from the nobility, who dressed themselves in short knee britches and fancy silk stockings. They were artisans, skilled workers, shopkeepers and tradesmen. The women who fought beside them called themselves San Jupons (Without Petticoats). They believed they should have the power to pass laws, with the National Assembly deputies merely following their directives. They also wanted the vote extended to all adult males (not just those who owned property.

The bill would allow dairy farmers to sell raw, or unpasteurized, milk from their farm or at farmers markets and roadside stands

Coloradans could buy raw milk at farms, farmers markets and roadside stands — but not grocery stores — under legislation aimed at giving consumers the power to choose their own food.

The “food freedom” bill would open up direct sales of unpasteurized milk, or milk that hasn’t been heated to kill bacteria, from farmers to customers, but would not impact a creative workaround that for decades has allowed people who want raw milk to get it by purchasing shares in a sheep, goat or cattle herd.

Under a proposal that got a 7-0 vote in its first Capitol hearing Thursday, dairy farmers could choose to instead open up raw milk sales at their farm, or drive their containers of milk to farmers markets and roadside stands and sell them to any customers who stop by.

[…]

Proponents of raw milk say its enzymes help with digestion and its vitamins and minerals come with numerous health benefits.

Mexico is furious and demands an investigation into how belt-fed machine guns, rocket launchers, and grenades are ending up in the hands of cartel members, the country’s top diplomat said.

“The (Mexican) Defense Department has warned the United States about weapons entering Mexico that are for the exclusive use of the US army,” Foreign Relations Secretary Alicia Bárcena said, who was quoted by AP News.

Bárcena said, “It is very urgent that an investigation into this be carried out.”

In June, the Mexican Army announced it had seized a dozen rocket launchers, 56 grenade launchers, and 221 fully automatic machine guns since 2018.

While Wall Street is setting records, those on Main Street claim to be barely scraping by. Many citizens even maintain that they are “living paycheck to paycheck,” according to the latest Issues and Insights/TIPP Poll.

According to an Issues and Insights/TIPP (I&I/TIPP) Poll that was released on Wednesday morning, 64%, or two-thirds of American voters, stated that they are “living paycheck to paycheck.”

I&I/TIPP is known for reporting “timely, unique, and informative data” every month regarding a wide range of topics that interest the general public, according to their website.

In the most recent I&I/TIPP Poll, which was conducted from January 3rd through January 5th of this year, among 1,401 registered voters, representing nearly two-thirds of Americans, stated that they are “living ‘paycheck to paycheck’ these days,” despite the fact that the United States is still considered to be a wealthier nation in comparison to other countries.

The margin of error for the poll was +/-2.6 percentage points.

Democrat politicians appear befuddled by the overall disregard for what they perceive to be “Bidenomics’ achievements” regarding the economy. However, Americans are still facing extreme financial hardships, even if the economy has recovered slightly since the COVID-19 era.

The surprising outcome comes at a time when many politicians and members of Wall Street are praising new data that claims strong growth in the fourth quarter, as well as a slowing rate of inflation.

However, in the poll, 63% of Democrats, 67% of Republicans, and 62% of Independents said that they are “barely getting by” with each paycheck they receive.

Additionally, 53% of poll-takers in the wealthiest income bracket, which include those who make at least “$75,000 or more” annually, also maintained that they struggle to make ends meet on a monthly basis. The wealthier earners blamed childcare, housing, food, travel, and entertainment expenses.

68% of American voters with lower incomes, defined as those earning less than $70,000 annually, also said that they were struggling to make ends meet. Nonetheless, that polling result was less surprising.

In terms of race, 62% of White Americans and 69% of Black and Hispanic Americans similarly admitted that they are facing “financial difficulty with each paycheck.”

The I&I/TIPP Poll posed an even more dire question, “How much money do you have in savings that you could use in an emergency?” in an effort to bring more attention to this issue.

Individual responses were used to group the answers, which were according to dollar value:

The following categories available were: “$0,” “less than $1000,” “1,000 to $4,999,” “5,000 to $9,999,” “10,000 to $19,999,” “20,000 to $49,999,” and “$50,000 or more.” An alternative response would be “prefer not to answer.”

As a result, the answer of this question was a worrisome 24% of all Americans who responded “$0.”

At the same time, 14% responded with less than $5,000, and 20% gave a response of less than $1,000. Of the respondents, 44% had less than $1,000 or had none at all. Even after accounting for the wealthiest citizens of the United States, the median savings amount was only around $1,586.

In conclusion, Americans seem to be unprepared for any sort of financial emergencies, at least in economic terms.

The data is shocking to many, especially considering the fact that politicians on both the right and left continue to tell U.S. citizens that “they’ve never had it so good,” which is far from the truth, according to economists.

The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned sovereign nations that those states that refuse to comply with the globalists’ “New Order” will pay the price when so-called “Disease X” is unleashed on the public.

According to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the “New World Order” will be ushered in when states sign the United Nations “health” agency’s “Pandemic Treaty.”

By signing the treaty, countries will enable the United Nations (UN) and WHO be establish an unelected single world government.

Under the condition of the treaty, nations will need to surrender their powers to the UN for the sake of the “New Order.”

The WHO is now demanding that all member states sign the treaty in order to be “protected” from “Disease X.”

Those who fail to comply will be signing a death warrant for their citizens, Tedros warns.

Steve Watson and Professor Michel Chossudovsky expounded on this conspiracy in a Jan. 25 piece published by the Center for Research on Globalization.

They quoted a piece by Forbes about Disease X, which is used by medical tyrants to “encourage the development of countermeasures, including vaccines and tests, to deploy in the case of a future outbreak.”

According to the article, the WHO convened a group of more than 300 scientists in November 2022 to study Disease X.

This disease, caused by an “unknown pathogen that could cause a serious international epidemic,” reportedly has a mortality rate “20 times that of [the Wuhan coronavirus] (COVID-19).”

During the globalist World Economic Forum’s (WEF) meeting at Davos, Switzerland, Tedros stressed that governments must prepare for the outbreak of Disease X.

Nevertheless, the WHO head admitted that the momentum for this preparation “had been slowed down by entrenched positions and a torrent of fake news, lies and conspiracy theories.”

However, according to Watson and Chossudovsky, this supposed preparation isn’t for the hypothetical Disease X – but for the globalists’ bigger designs through the Pandemic Treaty.

Under this treaty, the entire eight billion people in the world would see their data being digitized and tied to the digital ID and central bank digital currency.

“Three hundred scientists to study something which is unknown and hypothetical?” the two wrote.

“The media propaganda buzz, quoting ‘scientific opinion,’ is [that] ‘Disease X is 20 times more dangerous than COVID-19’.

“A renewed 24/7 fear campaign has been launched, reporting on an alleged new wave of COVID-19 deaths while totally ignoring the tide of excess mortality resulting from the COVID-19 ‘vaccine.’”

According to the two, the idea of Disease X was first developed by a WHO expert committee made up of virologists and disease experts between 2017 and 2018.

It was subsequently envisaged in two events in May 2018 and October 2019.

The two events were held under the auspices of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security (JHCHS), with the support of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF).

The WHO expert committee met in Geneva in early 2018, categorizing Disease X as a “global threat.”

This was reinforced during a May 2018 tabletop simulation held in Washington, D.C. titled “Parainfluenza Clade X.”

According to the event’s description, “the scenario begins with an outbreak of [a] novel parainfluenza virus that is moderately contagious and moderately lethal, and for which there are no effective medical countermeasures.”

Later, the idea of Disease X reared its head once more during the “Event 201” tabletop simulation.

The event, held in October 2019 at a New York City hotel, simulated the outbreak of a deadly coronavirus pandemic.

This outbreak became partly true five months later in March 2020, when the WHO declared the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I fully expect that we will be confronted by a fast-moving pandemic,” said Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO’s Health Emergencies Program.

Even Microsoft founder Bill Gates, who shares close ties with Tedros, warned of the same.

The technocrat stressed that while the risks of severe disease from COVID-19 “have dramatically reduced,” another pandemic “is all but certain.”
