Around a thousand French farmers in tractors have descended on Paris in a fresh revolt against globalist government policies they say are ruining their standard of living.
The farmers assembled on the Avenue Foch, near the Champs Elysees and the Arc de Triomphe to decry regulations which they assert are devastating the agricultural sector.
Their main concern centers around “agri-bashing” by the media and politicians, where farmers are being blamed for environmental issues and pressured to amend their behavior in the name of preventing climate change.
The farmers are furious at how this is legitimizing attacks by vegan activists on butchers and calls to ban the weedkiller glyphosate, which President Emmanuel Macron wants to outlaw by 2021.
They also fear that EU trade deals with Canada and the Mercosur bloc in South America will flood the market with cheaper goods at lower standards.
The two main farmers’ unions have demanded a private meeting with Macron to discuss his policies.
This is just one of numerous anti-globalist revolts taking place across Europe.
Earlier this month, German farmers blocked roads in Hamburg with their tractors to protest against environment regulations.
Last month, thousands of Dutch farmers also descended on Amsterdam to protest against a government proposal that livestock production be slashed by up to 50% in the name of preventing global warming.
The Yellow Vest movement in France, which just marked its first anniversary, also began as a backlash against onerous gas tax hikes and other regulations impacting rural workers.
The United Nations was forced to delete a weird ‘satirical’ article which celebrated the ‘benefits’ of world hunger after an online backlash.
Originally published in 2008, the article, titled ‘The Benefits of World Hunger’, was recently reposted to the UN’s Chronicle magazine.
“We sometimes talk about hunger in the world as if it were a scourge that all of us want to see abolished,” wrote the author, Professor George Kent from the University of Hawaii.
Kent added that hunger was actually, “A great positive value to many people. Indeed, it is fundamental to the working of the world’s economy. Hungry people are the most productive people, especially where there is a need for manual labour.”
The article asserted that there was no incentive for the global elite to end world hunger, with Kent writing, “if there were no hunger in the world, who would plow the fields?… Who would clean our toilets?… For many of us, hunger is not a problem, but an asset.”
The piece was deleted from the UN website after attracting negative attention from alternative media outlets.

Farmers in the Netherlands, which is one of the largest exporters of meat in the world, have been told they’ll have to comply with draconian nitrogen emissions cuts.
This will force many of them to shut down their farms for good, risking the food security of hundreds of millions of people at a time when food inflation and a cost of living crisis is already in full swing.
The 16-year-old demonstrator who was shot at by police during a farmers protest in the Netherlands says he is under investigation for manslaughter.
The incident occurred on Tuesday night in the northern town of Heerenveen when Jouke Hospes had live rounds fired at his tractor during the protest.
Authorities immediately claimed that Hospes had deliberately tried to drive his vehicle into officers, but video footage of the confrontation shows this did not happen.
Hospes described how the incident began, saying farmers were already starting to leave the area when they were confronted by armed police.
“Behind me, it was clear, so I decided to go around it. I calmly crossed the sidewalk and drove very calmly. I went to see if traffic was approaching and if I could cross the road. I was driving [slowly], and suddenly I heard a PANG in my right ear. I thought there soon would be a second one.”
“I didn’t have any damage, so I thought it was a rubber bullet… However, I stopped for a while at Oudehaske, and when I was walking around the tractor, I saw a hole in the iron. All kinds of thoughts went through my head.”

“I have been released for the attempted manslaughter and am still a suspect tonight in my own bed,” said Hospes, who claims he did nothing wrong and is lucky to be alive.
Illustrating the anger stirred up by the incident, the officer who shot at Hospes was reportedly evacuated from his home and is now in hiding.
Hospes was arrested and held in prison, prompting a huge crowd to show up outside the facility to express their support.

After police were given immunity from manslaughter charges for shooting at protesters, numerous different video clips emerged of police recklessly waving guns around.
“Since the orders were declared, police have been seen wearing military-style equipment, have used tear gas against protesters, and have now shown that they’re willing to fire on anyone, even a teenage boy,” reports The Counter Signal.
Dutch police are pointing fire arms at protesting Farmers.
As we document in the video below, the farmers are protesting against drastic ‘green agenda’ nitrogen cuts which would see their livelihoods devastated.
In order to comply with technocratic globalist rules on climate change cuts, farmers would be paid by the government not to produce food, while 30% of farms would be forced to close down for good.
The restrictions are being imposed at the behest of the World Economic Forum’s ‘great reset’ agenda despite rampant food inflation and a cost of living crisis exacerbated by the war in Ukraine.
