Farmers’ Protests Reflect Existential Crisis of Indian Agriculture
Colin Todhunter
With over 800 million people, rural India is arguably the most interesting and complex place on the planet but is plagued by farmer suicides, child malnourishment, growing unemployment, increased informalisation, indebtedness and an overall collapse of agriculture.
Given that India is still an agrarian-based society, renowned journalist P Sainath says what is taking place can be described as a crisis of civilisation proportions and can be explained in just five words: hijack of agriculture by corporations.
He notes the process by which it is being done in five words too: predatory commercialisation of the countryside. And another five words to describe the outcome: biggest displacement in our history.
In late November 2018, a charter was released by the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (an umbrella group of around 250 farmers’ organisations) to coincide with the massive, well-publicised farmers’ march that was then taking place in Delhi.
The charter stated:
Farmers are not just a residue from our past; farmers, agriculture and village India are integral to the future of India and the world; as bearers of historic knowledge, skills and culture; as agents of food safety, security and sovereignty; and as guardians of biodiversity and ecological sustainability.”
The farmers stated that they were alarmed at the economic, ecological, social and existential crisis of Indian agriculture as well as the persistent state neglect of the sector and discrimination against farming communities.
They were also concerned about the deepening penetration of large, predatory and profit hungry corporations, farmers’ suicide across the country and the unbearable burden of indebtedness and the widening disparities between farmers and other sectors.
The charter called on the Indian parliament to immediately hold a special session to pass and enact two bills that were of, by and for the farmers of India.
If passed by parliament, among other things, the Farmers’ Freedom from Indebtedness Bill 2018 would have provided for the complete loan waiver for all farmers and agricultural workers.
The second bill, The Farmers’ Right to Guaranteed Remunerative Minimum Support Prices for Agricultural Commodities Bill 2018, would have seen the government take measures to bring down the input cost of farming through specific regulation of the prices of seeds, agriculture machinery and equipment, diesel, fertilisers and insecticides, while making purchase of farm produce below the minimum support price (MSP) both illegal and punishable.
The charter also called for a special discussion on the universalisation of the public distribution system, the withdrawal of pesticides that have been banned elsewhere and the non-approval of genetically engineered seeds without a comprehensive need and impact assessment.
Other demands included no foreign direct investment in agriculture and food processing, the protection of farmers from corporate plunder in the name of contract farming, investment in farmers’ collectives to create farmer producer organisations and peasant cooperatives and the promotion of agroecology based on suitable cropping patterns and local seed diversity revival.
Now in 2020, rather than responding to these requirements, we see the Indian government’s promotion and facilitation of – by way of recent legislation – the corporatisation of agriculture and the dismantling of the public distribution system (and the MSP) as well as the laying of groundwork for contract farming.
This legislation comprises three acts: The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act 2020, Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act 2020 and Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act 2020
Although the two aforementioned bills from 2018 have now lapsed, farmers are demanding that the new pro-corporate (anti-farmer) farms laws are replaced with a legal framework that guarantees the MSP to farmers.
According to an article by the Research Unit for Political Economy (RUPE), it is clear that the existence of MSPs, the Food Corporation of India, the public distribution system and publicly held buffer stocks constitute an obstacle to the profit-driven requirements of global agribusiness interests who have sat with government agencies and set out their wish-lists.
RUPE notes that India accounts for 15 per cent of world consumption of cereals. India’s buffer stocks are equivalent to 15-25 per cent of world stocks and 40 per cent of world trade in rice and wheat.
Any large reduction in these stocks will almost certainly affect world prices: farmers would be hit by depressed prices; later, once India became dependent on imports, prices could rise on the international market and Indian consumers would be hit.
At the same time, the richer countries are applying enormous pressure on India to scrap its meagre agricultural subsidies; yet their own subsidies are vast multiples of India’s. The end result could be India becoming dependent on imports and the restructure of its own agriculture to crops destined for export.
RUPE concludes:
Vast buffer stocks would still exist; but instead of India holding these stocks, they would be held by multinational trading firms, and India would bid for them with borrowed funds.”
Instead of holding physical buffer stocks, India would hold foreign exchange reserves.
Successive administrations have made the country dependent on volatile flows of foreign capital and India’s foreign exchange reserves have been built up by borrowing and foreign investments. The fear of capital flight is ever present. Policies are often governed by the drive to attract and retain these inflows and maintain market confidence by ceding to the demands of international capital.
This throttling of democracy and the ‘financialisation’ of agriculture would seriously undermine the nation’s food security and leave almost 1.4 billion people at the mercy of international speculators and foreign investment.
But agricapital’s free-for-all bonanza and the planned displacement of tens of millions of cultivators mirrors what has been happening across the world for many decades: the consolidation of a global food regime based on agro-export mono-cropping (often with non-food commodities taking up prime agricultural land) linked to sovereign debt repayment and foreign exchange inflows and earnings and World Bank/IMF ‘structural adjustment’ directives.
The outcomes have included a displacement of a food-producing peasantry, the dominance of Western agri-food oligopolies and the transformation of countries from food self-sufficiency to food deficiency. Little wonder then that among the owners of global agribusiness family firm Cargill 14 are now billionaires – the very company that profited from running down India’s edible oils sector in the 1990s.
It is not that India needs these people. It is already the world’s largest producer of milk, pulses and millets and the second-largest producer of rice, wheat, sugarcane, groundnuts, vegetables, fruit and cotton. This is despite India’s farmers already reeling from the effects of 30 years of neoliberal policies, decades of public underinvestment/disinvestment and a deliberate strategy to displace them at the behest of the World Bank and predatory global agri-food corporations.
If unrepealed, the recent legislation represents the ultimate betrayal of India’s farmers and democracy as well as the final surrender of food security and food sovereignty to unaccountable corporations. This legislation is wholly regressive and will eventually lead to the country relying on outside forces to feed its population – and a possible return to hand-to-mouth imports, especially in an increasingly volatile world prone to conflict, public health scares, unregulated land and commodity speculation and price shocks.
A shift towards food sovereignty – encompassing local people’s right to healthy and culturally appropriate food and their ability to define and control their own food and agriculture systems – is key to achieving genuine independence, national sovereignty, food security and facilitating farmers’ demands.

Generations of Indian politicians have defended India’s neutrality. The Modi governments have destroyed that. Instead of trying to get on with China and Pakistan they have joined the belligerent Anglo sphere where conflicts are never resolved so you can rekindle them.
–> continued from previous comment, in “spam check”; Admins, please post as a reply to the first. / I hope that this conversation at least helped to relieve any feeling of personal offence caused by my perhaps unnecessarily-hostile initial discourse. I keep going back-and-forth between feeling uncomfortable about the difficult position I’m putting these people in, through my obstinate muzzle-disobedience, and then reminding myself that I am not the person who is being unreasonable, that what I am being ordered to do is in fact completely crazy, and would have been universally recognized as such, until less than a year ago. A further irony is that the identity-politics “left” would certainly denounce my actions as an expression of “white privilege”, especially in relation to ethnic-minority security guards. However, I don’t think I said or did anything that a reasonable (but that boat has already sailed) person would interpret as racially-tinged,… Read more »
I had a similar experience to you a few weeks ago T. Went to go to my local Kmart here (like Walmart) and to my surprise, there was a young Indian guy at the entrance Contact Tracing. I walked past him and he called out… ‘Sir, excuse me, sir’ so I stopped. He told me that everyone had to leave their details with him before entering. I said no thanks, and went to go in. He became insistent and I said firmly no thank you… then I had a brain fade and stabbed my finger at his clipboard and said this is fascism, this is nothing to do with health and safety, this is fascist. I left, and then I turned round and loudly said, I will never shop here again. And you know what, I was even wearing a facemask that day, which is pretty bloody ironic considering what… Read more »
It is fascism
.
I know Ben, and I saw videos of the protests in The Netherlands. Saw people with their faces covered in blood, saw high pressured water cannons being used, saw lines of police horses charging at peaceful protesters. Yes, it’s straight out fascism. And the “woke” Left say absolutely nothing unless it’s to demonise those same protesters.
that young guy was just doing his job as well. still doesn’t mean you have to comply; just calmly refuse. my policy is to completely ignore them during the “sir, excuse me” phase; just walk briskly past them without even acknowledging them. sometimes they stay at their post, and don’t follow you. if they do follow you, just state that you decline to participate in the COVID-1984 hoax, and continue with your business. the discourse described above may actually get some traction with the Indian ones — “I am following Gandhi’s advice, and refusing to obey their laws. You should do what you think is right; I will be gone in a few minutes.” my reaction in a few cases was the same as yours, to point out the obvious fascism of the whole thing, but on consideration, I think that a less overtly hostile response is likely to be… Read more »
Appreciate the feedback T, cheers👍
Super helpful, thanks. I’m at the point where I’m able to shop now without the adrenaline pumping, (I won’t wear one. Or own one). But have not yet been approached. I live remote rural and shop less than once a week, so they don’t get so many chances.
I wrote this comment in response to one from “Annette”, below, but it turned out to be of such length that it might better be posted separately. —— A main point about the effect of the Indian farmers’ protest is that hardly anyone believes in corona anymore (if they ever did: Modi and cohort are a different thing). The reason no mainstream press is reporting the farmers’ protest is simply that if you have a million people together for months in not wonderful conditions, in a particularly cold winter, and there is no pandemic among them, then it destroys the corona thesis. So in effect this thesis has been empirically proved to be false by the farmers. I can tell you that those Indians I heard about that used to believe in corona, now don’t. That every locality is holding informal meetings where this particular point is now being made… Read more »
I don’t think your “I’m allergic to fascism.” was over the top at all. I have the same allergy… Thanks for your recent posts.
Well… Erm… Allot of comments. But no comments suggesting how the whole mess began: “East India Company, also called English East India Company, formally (1600–1708) Governor and Company of Merchants of London Trading into the East Indies or (1708–1873) United Company of Merchants of England Trading to the East Indies, English company formed for the exploitation of trade with East and Southeast Asia and India, incorporated by royal charter on December 31, 1600. Starting as a monopolistic trading body, the company became involved in politics and acted as an agent of British imperialism in India from the early 18th century to the mid-19th century. In addition, the activities of the company in China in the 19th century served as a catalyst for the expansion of British influence there.“ [End quote] https://www.britannica.com/topic/East-India-Company East India Company just happens to be one of the oldest “incorporated” organizations in the world as well… Ah,… Read more »
Indeed, these pesky details from the past do help provide better understanding of the present.
Your historical summary is correct, but how does it bear on the question of farmers’ rights?
“Who owns the land?” is a useful question with which to start.
A further step is to observe how US corporations displaced small farmers. First, banks encouraged loans for equipment etc, then there was an interest-rate hike and a recession and the lenders called in the loans. Guess what: farmers couldn’t pay, so lost their farms. Heads-up for Indian farmers: beware of bankers bearing gifts. Generate your own capital.
Hello Jim Davies: “Who owns the land?” is a useful question with which to start.”
Exactly! A landless person has no “rights”. With no land to defend, where are they going to live? They become slaves on a plantation owned by someone who couldn’t care less…
So in general, does the ordinary Indian farmer own the land he farms, or not?
Its a mix.
I don’t know the exact percentages, but here you have both cases–farmers owning land and other farmers doing all the farm-related work on non-farmer/quasi-farmer landowners’ land.
Among the latter, there is a mix of cases of farm labourers working for a wage and those paying a fixed rent per month to the landowners in exchange for getting full farming rights over the land and being liable for financial loans.
the company became involved in politics and acted as an agent of British imperialism in India
it might be more accurate to say, that British imperialism became involved in commerce, and acted as an agent of the East India Company. that’s what imperialism is for, after all.
is that. But, as fortune would have it, a caped crusader appeared who fitted the bill ( no pun intended). Enter Bill Gates. He threw a lot of cash across the Atlantic and it landed into the coffers of Imperial College London. A nice slice of it landed in that institution’s Neal Ferguson’s salary and he was asked to ‘come up with some numbers’. He did. Big ones. Very big ones. And none of them available for public scrutiny. He warned about a rapidly spreading infection was going to kill millions of farm animals and that farmers would be well advised to stem that pandemic with a mass cull. How mad was that- can you imagine ? Bill’s recommendations came to pass and many farmers lives and businesses were ruined beyond repair. It was only later that science( real science) found that the disease didn’t even spread among animals as… Read more »
The opening of my post( above) pointed back to2001. The Foot and Mouth epidemic in the UK. Gates threw megabucks at I,perial College London. Much of it landed into the salary of Neal Ferguson. In return, he was to bring up some numbers; some big numbers. Then he was to ‘predict’ millions of animals dying due to the ‘rapisdly spreading’ epidemic.His recommendation was that farmers culled all their livetsock. And they did. It killed millions of animals and ended the businesses of farmers whose lives were ruined. Gates started to talk about a ‘rescue’ via his Monsanto packages. And he was allowed to get away with it. Later, real scientists- not software experts- found no evidence at all that the diease was infectious from animal to animal and the cull had been uneccasary. Covid is echoing it all. This time we’re the cattle. The rest is the same script and… Read more »
“This is about creating an ecological holocaust and resetting Eden.”
Jura, at the extreme risk of revealing my juvenile sensibilities for well-deserved scorn and derision, I am going to make what might seem an exceedingly unlikely recommendation: Season One of the Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series that started in 2012.
When I watched this series for the first time in 2018-’19, I was bowled over by the conceptual depth of the storyline. I instantly recognized it as an allegory for the transformation of the Earth and of the human race that at that time was still proceeding relatively gradually.
Now, I see how close it is to literal. The process by which the Krang proceed on the television program by mutagenic agents is precisely what we are seeing with the Earth, with telecommunications and (now) mutagenic injections. The saturation of 5G masts is going to turn the entire planet into a buzzing, electrical, networked node of what I have no doubt is an interplanetary colonial project.
Also, the animation on the fight sequences is awesome!
I like it.
Storytelling is the oldest form of educating. pre-schooling, pre-printing press, imagery was all. The power of the allegory has never faded. I reckon, and have done for 20 years, that the evidence of 100 years of concerted dumbing down and narrowing of minds along with the eroding of any attention span, has taken us back to that time. I find that talking in pictures is far more effective in getting a point across to the sheeple. It’s a shame they seem incapable of retaining a single point as soon as they see a hilarious emojie on their phone.
I posted a brief predictive programming on the previous thread i think is an example of the techniques employed by the handlers now. They go where the masses dwell in their haze and do their thing..
On any one night in the UK, the police are a skeleton crew. Same with the NHS so we are told, literally. If an incident is called through the system there are only a certain amount of resources to deploy. 10 incidents have to be prioritised. 100 incidents…… Gold command will handle it, after all they are the gov. Try 1000 incidents. On my street alone, there are 1000 people. I am in a town of 300k permanent tax payers. Times up for patience. If the guns come out from authorities in uniform, the underclass will remove them and turn them round. A situation is developing here. The only reason. I Post here is because everywhere else is censored. I do not think I am paranoid. K
Check the latest BS mainstream NHS ‘commercial’… An old man on oxygen and stretcher with the entrance to an ambulance. Super slow motion-practically still. No music- only one sustained eerie note held. There’s no doctor nurse or paramedic either. Just the man staring right at the camera forcing you to take it all in. Check each ‘patient’. Healthy colouring and shining eyes and not so much as a cough or sneeze .Apparently Covid 19 is when someone’s messed your hair up. The slow. monotone overly dramatic narration then asks you if you : ”’Can you look them in the eyes and tell them you’re helping by staying at home?” That cynical guilt trip is supposed to make you feel bad for being a sceptic and not adhering to their dog -t raining methods of conditioning us.

I’m grateful that John Steppling is at least one Leftist who speaks out against the COVID shit. However, his usual articles are exasperating mixtures of (very) occasional insight with interminable insufferable Adornian gobbledegook about reification, mimesis etc. His latest is no different. But it offers this: The entire Covid narrative, as the mainstream media and world governments and health organizations have crafted it is absurd. And yet many huddle in their homes, terrified. Only leaving, mask on face, to buy more toilet paper. However, many people (half approximately given recent polls) reject the narrative. And I think one reason is that the educated classes (institutionally educated) are both more indoctrinated but also more invested in an idea of progress and society that demands repression and domination. He seems to be implying that ironically it’s those “educated” ones who are most likely to submit to the covid bollocks. And I think… Read more »
“Many of the Left”
“That does not mean anything. A CORPORATE FASCIST FABIAN EUGENICIST is a CORPORATE FASCIST FABIAN EUGENICIST. It is not a SOCIALIST in the spirit of Eugene Victor Debs. The SCAMDEMIC was the signal (planned event) for all the little crocodile teared charlatan fraudsters to take their brown shirts out of the closet and wear them.”
He seems to be implying that ironically it’s those “educated” ones who are most likely to submit to the covid bollocks. surely this is quite obvious, at this late date. nowhere more so than in the US, where the goodthinking middle-class liberals all scrupulously wear their obedience muzzles, whereas the working-class Trump supporters mostly do not, anywhere that they have a choice. it really is a class issue, between those who rightly or wrongly believe that the COVID-1984 hoax serves their long-term interests, or is at least not harmful to them, and those who can already see that the hoax is ruining their own lives, and those of everyone they know. Many of the Left have swallowed the covid poison because it seems to herald a world they think will usher in some kind of socialist utopia. that is apparently what they believe, but how this is supposed to work… Read more »
It’s as if some celestial well-wisher has added two evils — capitalists plus covid — stirred up the mixture together — and voilà, it’s the worker’s state!
it’s all done through the magical technology of dialectical materialism. if you can’t understand it, it’s because your conception of dialectics is lifeless and wooden.
thesis (neoliberal capitalist dystopia) + antithesis (megadeath virus of doom) —> synthesis (future socialist paradise)
simples.
all sarcasm aside, notice that this is what people who identify as “revolutionary marxists” actually claim to believe.

Bravo… nail, hammer, head. Unfortunately, I’ve been bumped off John Steppling’s Facebook page for some reason, and I can’t remember my bloody email and Facebook passwords!
Just passed one of the Fake left organisations here in Melbourne, called Socialist Alliance, flogging their rag outside the main train station, all fully masked, while ironically the large majority of people walking past them are not masked.
I have no intention of buying it!
I made a comment months ago about how, from the start of this COVID age, the Left seem to have disappeared. By which I meant they either cheerlead the virus propaganda or just ignore the whole issue. So it was heartening to find someone like Steppling. The fact that he is submerged in this flatulent postmodernist blather is a depressing sign of how thoroughly neutered the Left have become. And so with the sheer vacuity of a Leftist response in a truly frightening situation crying out for it, I turned to non-Marxist writers like GG Preparata (whose vastly articulate anger is ironically close to Marx’s own prose). GGP is doubly impressive in not only providing insight into what has been going on over the last century but also in being fully aware of how the wretched Western Left work. Unfortunately I haven’t found anything he has written on COVID. I’ll… Read more »
Forgot to mention that Socialist Alliance are a slightly less hysterical version of the WSWS when it comes to covid, and note they have friendly relations with the Democratic Socialists of America (no shit!) and on their Facebook page have articles from… The Guardian, Jacobin Magazine, The Conversation and a tweet from Owen Jones!
That, in a nutshell says it all. Anyway, I haven’t really checked out Preparata yet, but was very impressed by Rusere Shoniwa that you linked to a couple of weeks back.
Steppling has made lengthy comments on covid rather than a full length article, tho I haven’t been on his page for a while.
“The CIA Party (the Langley-Land operation formerly known as the SEP) is not credible. If someone wanted to discredit Leon Trotsky it would one of the ways they could do it. It is almost as if Crains Detroit serial entrepeneur David W Green was looking to establish a second People’s Temple and become its new Jim Jones. As to the other Corporate Fascist Eugenicist brownshirts they are no better.”
The Indian farmers are just going to have to KILL their elites.

“Prolonged SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection in anal/rectal swabs and stool specimens in COVID-19 patients”

I blame us sceptics.
After 6 months of pushing back and telling them where to stick their tests they’re after revenge.
On a more positive note, Amazon, never ones to miss an opportunity, are putting together thousands of ‘Covid 19 Top n Tail’ kits. They consist of matching masks and nappies. They come in a range of colours, designs and sizes.
( i can hear the singing already” you can stick yer covid test kits up yer…’‘)😉
I’m convinced the anal swabs procedure is designed to humiliate and degrade. That’s its main purpose. Why? Perhaps to coerce people to take the vaccines and immunity passports etc
Anal swabbing is no more or less creepy than masks. Well maybe a tad more creepy. But at this point it’s ALL creepy and weird as hell. Fast becoming desensitised to it all. If they say tomorrow that you have to drink your own urine to fight the virus, would it shock me? Not really. Just another covid day.
It’s a sexual perversion.
Nothing else.

Recently I phoned out for a Chinese and when I went to pick it up, the door had been blocked and the receptionist – a very likeable and helpful person – had to fetch the food out. He was grumbling about how the supermarkets could get away with the usual customer visits but the little shops and takeaways couldn’t.
There is no logical reason for these restrictions on the small places. These places can more easily have that wretched social distancing (if you must!) and obviously there are far fewer customers.
So the conclusion is unavoidable: the little businesses are being targeted. They are under attack. Someone up there is doing everything possible to close these small places down while the bloated corporate chains and multinationals are left alone.

Let’s say, for example, that because a person is an atheist, they don’t believe in the devil.
Next, let’s imagine what a theoretical devil might theoretically do to the whole of human kind which could be much worse than this abomination which has currently grabbed us all by the throat. Something which would amuse Beelzebub enormously.
Then consider the proposition that here he is, actually doing it to us, except that the tail and horns have been hidden for decency’s sake…

Sorry, but we really need to be reconsidering the idea that (asserted) stupidity and other mental inferiority are moral failings. We need to be aiming to lead them, and using our supposedly superior intellects to win them over, rather than, well, primarily venting on fairly inconsequential blogs.
Otherwise, you can easily argue the current powers that be are, on the same measures, superior to us (they’ve won so far, after all), and moreover, there’s also little point to democracy. That’s not a good path to head down on.

“But agricapital’s free-for-all bonanza and the planned displacement of tens of millions of cultivators mirrors what has been happening across the world for many decades: the consolidation of a global food regime based on agro-export mono-cropping (often with non-food commodities taking up prime agricultural land) linked to sovereign debt repayment and foreign exchange inflows and earnings and World Bank/IMF ‘structural adjustment’ directives.” And playing a big role in that ongoing disaster are the gangster politicians that citizens everywhere have foolishly voted for. Representative democracy wasn’t democratic at all. It was a label slapped on gangsterism so that sleepy (by choice) citizens could continue to believe in it and enable it. If it was bad before, it’s far worse now, because we are now seeing clearly what it is. The charade is dropping. As Catherine Austin Fitts said, ‘They are getting tired of pretending’. When the technocratic system is in place,… Read more »
It was possible to pull this off back in the day — every country has at least one historical period where agricultural workers were displaced with people forced off the land and into cities (and poverty) — but these days people can see this coming and they quite obviously don’t like it. Its really not about technocracies, though, but the overriding imperativet “to be efficient” — in other words, to maximize corporate profit at the expense of anything and everything, be it people’s livelyhoods, the environment, whatever.
There’s no reason why farms can not only be efficient and sustainable but also keep a lot of people occupied and happy.
Technocracy is real. Technocrats and central banks tried to implement in the 1930’s and people rejected it en masse. People will reject in again, especially once they realize it means permanently losing their ability to own property, assets, possessions, and businesses.
They are not going to trade freedom, happiness and independence for a meager UBI stipend, and permanent enslavement in the digital and physical realm through central command control.
I wish I could believe you. I live in NZ and they’ve just “found” the first “cases” of the s. african varient of covid (utter bollocks). They are saying that it came through the air conditioning! I’m deflated at the number of people still believing this crap. One of my co-workers even said that she wouldn’t mind having a few weeks of lockdown every year. It’s kinda fun, she said.
The wake-up call is sounding loud and clear. Unbelievable how many in the world are deaf to it.
Oh, the African variety. How exotic. When they come for her house, she may get that wake up call in an unpleasant hurry.
Its one thing to be lockdown on your own property, in your own house. I do it all the time to myself, well, not really, just don’t leave all that much except to walk freely in the surrounding woods and along the sea. Its another thing to be lockdown on another property. We usually call that jail, rehab or a mental institution. Even two minutes in these places is never fun.
Right now, the destruction of independent farmers and independent anything is happening within the context of the roll out of the technocratic biosecurity police State. That’s just a fact.
Who knows, maybe the current crop of politicians have been promised permanent positions within the coming totalitarian system as long as they continue to implement the agenda. I don’t see much concern about re-election even though they have destroyed their own economies. Isn’t that curious?
Curious. Fascinating. Horrifying. I would just assume that gangster politicians know that the gig is up and don’t care about votes and electoral politics, except that it could be that they themselves don’t realize that that world is gone. In which case, Why the indifference? That could be simply be due to the fact that they have discovered, with the covid 19 pandemic hoax, that they can pretty much tell the majority anything and they’ll believe it. “We are killing and robbing you so that you can have a good life,” say the gangster politicians. “Okay, say the cattle.” Gangster: “Please remember to vote for me!” Cattle: “You’ve got my vote!”
The only fly in the ointment for politicians who’ve enabled lockdown is that they have to live among their constituents and to see the damage they’ve created. Many will have children and grandchildren who may suffer in a future dystopia. The same goes for all those complicit in the Covid crime. The next generation will suffer
What you say would be true ‘if’ there’s no God with plan to end this system of things. I hope I’m right about that. I believe that I am.
Unfortunately same for our finest.
No No No.
The politicians do NOT have to live among their constituents at all.
By Summer, they will be on a private island in the Indian Ocean, and Westminster will be just a foggy, and fast-fading memory to them.
They will also feel they’ve earned it.

b) there is no pressure on the NHS, except that of dealing with interfering politicians.
Davis is risking nothing.
His rather feeble gatekeeping job (Gateskeeping?) will be handsomely rewarded in due course.
I disagree. To endorse drugs as useful instead of *only* vaccines is unusual

…Meanwhile, in La La land:… – I see GameStop is *Up* again…

so many people fail to realise this salient fact: when agribusiness reformed our ancestors’ worlds, the game was always up. When you remove people from their land through legal theft (lol – those same chunts in charge of things eternally!) they(us) lose any hope for posterity. This happened where I come from 300 years ago, and has only gotten worse. The irony is that so many of our ancestors saw a job in the mill, or “improved” expanded farm, the pit, docks or some “factory” as a blessing- they were so relieved they did not have to milk the cow, harrow the fields, bridle the hosses or go out into the rain and wind just to feed themselves….. currency economy made life easier.

There are areas, coinciding with those that have been most extensively investigated, in which the inhabited settlements in this phase are no more than 2 kilometres one from the other. It can therefore be supposed that the entire territory was occupied by a tight-knit network of villages, a *polycentric system* with settlements generally covering *between 1 and 2 hectares* and occupied by up to 250/260 inhabitants (about 125 per hectare). *At that point, the dimension of the settlements began to vary.*… Read more »
James C. Scott — Against the Grain: A Deep History of the Earliest States A foundational question underlying state formation is how we (Homo sapiens sapiens) came to live amid the unprecedented concentrations of domesticated plants, animals, and people that characterize states. From this wide-angle view, the state form is anything but natural or given. Homo sapiens appeared as a subspecies about 200,000 years ago and is found outside of Africa and the Levant no more than 60,000 years ago. The first evidence of cultivated plants and of sedentary communities appears roughly 12,000 years ago. Until then—that is to say for ninety-five percent of the human experience on earth—we lived in small, mobile, dispersed, relatively egalitarian, hunting-and-gathering bands. Still more remarkable, for those interested in the state form, is the fact that the very first small, stratified, tax-collecting, walled states pop up in the Tigris and Euphrates Valley only around… Read more »

Another loud soundtrack to distract us from actually paying attention to what the pictures say so much more eloquently.
YouTube is full of it.
The problems they recount are common to smaller scale farms worldwide including in the UK.
Every service is many miles away on increasingly neglected roads, mobile coverage and faster broadband poor or absent altogether, profit on most crops and products at farm gate in many cases little changed from the 1970s yet outgoing costs keep up with wider societies ability to pay.
It can’t go on and it won’t because the medium term result is sons and daughters leave the industry because they can make far more stacking shelves or riding on a bin lorry.

After wading through the cesspool of a recent George Monbiot article in the Graud, I note the following rules for dismissing covid scepticism: Always start from the taken-for-granted claim that covid really is absolutely deadly. Always start from the premise that the vaccine (any of them) really is the miracle cure we’ve been waiting for Always highlight the most colourful sceptical claims: (“coronavirus doesn’t exist”, “it’s not the virus that makes people ill but 5G”, or “vaccines are used to inject us with microchips”) Never counter the most pressing claims e.g. one given on a placard used under that very Monbiot article: “99.7% Recovery from covid. Why do we need a vaccine?” Indeed, never assert any argument at all against any of the sceptical points raised. Always push alleged connections between covid scepticism and Right-Wing sources. Drudge up irrelevant metaphors (“the marketplace of ideas”) Drag in irrelevant topics (global warning,… Read more »
One hopeful sign is that Jonathan Cook – who has been a bit of a tit on covid – at least protests to the Monbiot piece:
I have total respect for Naomi Wolf, who is bravely and politely standing up to bully George Monbiot
However, there is a very easy and simple way to prove Monbiot wrong –
– challenge him to take a PCR test at 45 cycles
He will refuse because he most likely already knows about the high false positive rates and doesn’t want to be forced to stay home for two weeks

Perhaps goose stepping, conformist behaviour is the default for humans. It is easier to display your superiority with your body than to produce evidence of your mental and manual dexterity. To show off rather than to create. We are, after all, animals, little different to the peacock or the baboon who can make an exhibition of parts of its body by flashing or hiding them. Virtue signalling has proved extraordinarily popular. Masks are just an extension. Flights of creativity and independence are the exception to the rule. It took an amazing sequence of internal reflection and external observation, giving rise first to philosophy and then to industry as we molded our world, accomplishing feats of invention and engineering which in turn bought us time to write, paint and sculpt that world in our own vision.

I’ve heard the far more sobering observation that every society is three meals away from barbarism.
Robert Anton Wilson wrote extensively on the nature of ‘Domesticated Primate Politics’, and yes, unfortunately, it’s all true, even if him and Tim Leary were spooky limited hangouts…
Mass mind control is a science that has been perfected by the most amoral and iniquitous, such as criminals and psychopaths in letter agencies, banks, think tanks and the legal and corporate sphere who have used social engineering and behavioral modification along with introduced scarcity and physical, societal and economic coercion.
Society has been molded by forces who set up a system of human enslavement.
That couldn’t be more clear in Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars.
People can’t evolve within a system that rewards consensus and obedience, encourages fear and avarice, is psychologically manipulating and traumatizing, whilst punishing independence, dissent, courage, non-comfortity, compassion, tolerance, transparency, reform and ingenuity.

that is practically the diametrical opposite of what actually happened. as a matter of historical fact, the industrial revolution began in the coal mines, both as producers of the essential industrial commodity, coal, and the original application for the essential industrial technology, the steam engine.
the Catholic Church, then, now, and always, was the primary repository of scientific ignorance, intellectual mystification and superstition, and social and political reaction.
First they came for the ‘independent food producers’. There is a risk of romanticizing the small farmer, seen in England’s very own John Bull, but being relatively independent from the ‘machine’ is something of immense value.
Incursions into our independence, of thought and action, happen all the time. A report that there will be an investigation into the CV-19 outbreak in Wuhan mentioned that the possibility of a leak from a laboratory has already been ruled out because it is a ‘conspiracy theory’.
That parameter placed on the investigation is an attack on our freedom to know.

I will bet that the same process has already gone on in China in recent times…afterall they moved millions off the farms there and into get to cities to produce the cheap goodies exported to the west…we never murmured about that…perhaps because it seemed the Chinese did it without the help of gates and his chemicals…or just used the chemicals…
we all turned a blind eye as we rolled up to the shops for the cheap goodies and measured it as an increase in our own wealth…kept inflation down etc…such is life on earth…
A main point about the effect of the farmers’ protest is that hardly anyone believes” in corona anymore (if they ever did: Modi and cohort are a different thing, their election Im told is corrupt as they manipulated the ballot boxes): the reason no mainstream press is reporting the farmers’ protest is simply that if you have a million people together for months in all together i not wonderful conditions, in a particularly cold winter, and there is no pandemic among them, then it destroys the corona thesis. So in effect this thesis has been empirically proved to be false by the farmers. Its interesting that not even the Western alternative press is reporting or publicizing this aspect. I mean its QED, what more proof do you need? This proof is comprehensible by everyone. You dont need to know to read and write and understand scientific. And I can tell… Read more »
What you said about the Indian PM and the election manipulation is true, but it is not correct to say that the people are free to move about without masks or that the government does not fudge/manipulate the ‘cv vrus’ case numbers as per its agenda at any given point in time.
The legal fines for not wearing masks are exorbitant if you consider the average income level of Indian people.
Several people here, especially among the affluent and educated, even wear masks when there is no risk of police fining them or any one else raising an objection.
As far as weddings in India are concerned, they continue to fascinate people in the West, but in reallity they are cruel as they involve wasteful expenditure and are an enormous financial burden on the parents of women.

The very dullness of the repeated terminology induces a sinking of spirits. I just had a look at yet another “scientific” investigation into this unprecedented deadly killer bug – and there it was:
“Now, as the death toll from the COVID-19 pandemic surges, researchers are scrambling to …” etc.
Has any virus or indeed any phenomenon at all ever SURGED so much? It surges here, it surges there etc. And then of course, the surge must be met by a SCRAMBLE. Maybe it’s some kind of Freudian thing. Scrambling, surging, spurting, gushing…
But perhaps there’s a more mundane reason for this deadly dull repetition. The rapidly shrinking parasitical class are attempting to do away with more and more actual people – even among their own hack servants. Perhaps these brain dead items are being written by software packages?

Oh please, Dr Goebbels was a pro. Propaganda these days (Guardian et al.) is pub league stuff, at best. Embarrassing so many fall for it.
I agree. He was good at it, although I am not sure the mass of people in his day were more sophisticated than those today.
I don’t know. For example, compare the number of speakeasies a hundred years ago to the number of speakeasies today. People then weren’t necessarily smarter than us, but they were still ‘people’. We are merely consumers, docile consumers.

Dolores Cahill asks if there is more than one mRNA “operator” out there and suggests that we should store every 50th or 70th vial of the injectable for later analysis — given that a second and third round of deaths are likely, as the immune system kicks in and when another virus in the wild triggers it.
This DNA modifier was created before the plandemic, as I posted yesterday. The recent Time magazine article makes that clear.
The narrative that these were an emergency’Warp Speed’ response is guff.
That’s why the main ‘vaccine’ is a DNA modifier, not a vaccine in the traditional sense. (They would need to isolate Covid for that)
People who take the vaccine are ripe for the Darwin Award. Any sane person should smell a rat considering that the vaccine was allegedly developed within a several months time for an alleged disease that is mostly harmless for most people (being the “flu”), using a genetic engineering technology that has never been tried before. Since it’s not mandatory as of now, I’m sorry for the health problems people might, or likely will, have, but anybody who gets themselves injected with this shite only have themselves to blame.
I wonder about something else, though.
Cahill, as well as other, refers to the virus. Or viruses. There are people who maintain that viruses don’t exist at all, that virology is witchcraft. I don’t have enough knowledge to determine what’s right. Does anybody have reference for a sensible explanation of what people on both sides of the fence claim?
Does nobody think the whole damn vaccine thing is creepy as hell? Humanity, in the blink of an eye, expecting to be stabbed with needles and injected like rabid animals with a substance unknown. Have people completely lost their minds??
The World is now Jonestown writ total; the Vaxx is the Kool-Aid.
Have a look at all the stuff by Dr Stefan Lanka ,the videos by Dr Andrew Kaufman, Dr Thomas Cowan, the Perth Group, Dr Harold Hillman. These usually deal with both sides of what’s being claimed by mainstream virology from a critical angle and that of mainstream cell biology. ” Virus ” is an unfortunate term to use in order to explain an infectious disease as the alleged ‘physicality’ and ‘pathogenicity ‘of any given virus has never been conclusively demonstrated scientifically using the proper experimental controls and techniques. All diseases depend on different sets of conditions and on multiple causes and are never reducible to reductionist monocausal explanations such as an alleged pathogenic virus. They use that tactic to exclude or ignore all other potential causal factors that are OTHER than viral! There is a lot more to it than that, some aspects of which I have repeated on numerous… Read more »
I’ve watched that, especially Andy Kaufman. Still not clear. It’s not about the cause of disease. My question is, do viruses exist as such?
I posted a clip the other day where this uber intelligent Aussie guy explained that viruses are like solvents produced within the cells to expel toxins from the body and are not contagious. It got deleted by YT quick smart.
Any link 🔗?
So far as I am aware there is no conclusive scientific evidence that proves that pathogenic viruses physically exist using the current lab methods that are available. All we seem to end up with are particles that are compared with concocted abstract models of viruses based on bits of genetic material patched together that are not actual viruses found with their whole genome intact but often turn out to be nothing more than artefacts due to the methods used. On the other hand, the concepts that are used to specify the theoretical models of viruses are often transposed onto particles and their alleged functions that are not viruses but are treated ‘as if’ they were, but that cannot be proven either. The other idea is that viruses are exosomes – but here again, the concept ‘virus’ is identified and conflated with a microvesicle (which is not a virus) so there… Read more »
No. They do not exist. What scientists claim are viruses are composites of various genetic material already existing in our cells. It’s fraud. Because the fraud has existed for more than a hundred years, most doctors and scientists do not want to expose the fraud because exposing the viral myth leads to the debunking of germ theory. Within the scientific and medical community there is a lot of resistance to opening that can of worms. If scientist can’t prove the existence of viruses, then why have they have been vaccinating people? I can tell you that from my research it’s not an accident, and they did not believe they were curing or preventing disease. It’s something much worse. It was to deliberately cause injury and harm. It was a profit model for the chemical and pharmaceutical corporations and the medical industrial complex. Did everyone involved in the manufacturing and pushing… Read more »
There is another problem too. They use the misleading term ‘ live virus’ wrt some vaccines when there’s no such thing in the microbiological sense of the term. Viruses, even if they did exist physically are neither obligate intracellular parasites or organisms in strict biological sense.
A so-called ‘live virus’ is therefore a complete myth in that respect as the majority of biologists believe that viruses are completely devoid of all life or are somewhere in between!!! . That’s why they require special host cells to replicate them in, as the new progeny of living dead – the new mutant strain of SARS-Cov-2 ZOMBIES!!!!! That’s how fact it gets.
Apologies for typo it should read ” that’s how daft it gets”!
Their word trickery is purposeful which may contribute to why many in the medical community don’t understand what “wild virus“ or “wild type virus” or “live virus” actually means.
Live means “grown” in the cell culture, not treated with formaldehyde. Yet, still a vaccine.
Wild Type means UNmutated, “grown” in the cell culture. Still a vaccine.
And as you wrote, yes, since they are zombie pathogens with no mechanism to divide or move, with no mechanics of their own, the entire debate around how long viruses remain viable outside the host on surfaces is also obviously fraudulent.
As is the claim that they can bind to human cells, gain entry and then multiply. Or jump species. It’s all absurd.
Yes I agree entirely. None have ever been isolated from outside the body in droplets, aerosols or in any other form considering there supposed to be trillions of them both inside and outside our bodies and in sea water, air, here, there and everywhere! They are also supposed to consist of an assembly of “metastable particles” that nobody has ever observed or proven. There simply are no viruses independent of the theories in which they are specified if you catch my meaning. Scientific experiments are also dependant on theory and like I’ve said earlier if the theory is wrong it won’t work out in practice. Therefore, insofar as viruses are concerned the theory is incoherent, contradictory and it fails to work out in practice to yield complete isolated virus particles that are claimed to be ‘pathogenic ‘. It is also claimed, without any concrete scientific proof, that SARS-Cov-2 in paricular,… Read more »

Exosomes, though, may be a part of the body’s defense mechanism to rid itself of toxins from air pollution, radiation (EMF, telecom, 5G/4G), toxic pharma drugs & vaccines, chemicals in food, cosmetics, household cleaning materials etc.
Glad you mentioned radiation as a causal factor in toxicity and the body’s reaction (defences) to it. Most people still don’t understand how different forms of energy e.g. from the Sun (apart from UV radiation) can be a causal factor in the production of flu -like symptoms.
The way this occurs can be quite complex because it involves different sets of conditions both in the body and in the external environment, and the way that these conditions interact. This also involves changes in solar cycle and Seasonal weather changes and changes in the earth’s geomagnetic field.
can you give any reference on this topic? especially the role of the sun? What happened in America when the Europeans arrived? Smallpox did not affect those who lived there?
Very valuable insight thank you. I suspect many in the community are now starting to question this with more opposition to vaccines. It may be the case that one day the scientific and medical community just won’t have a choice to come clean around The Germ Theory. The Aussie guy in question who’s video debunked The Germ Theory was Tom Barnett
Well put.
Yes and no, in the sense that there are particles containing DNA/RNA, but their function is not really understood and there is no real evidence they invade the human body from the outside world or that they make healthy people ill.
censorship is real
My own understanding ( I have a science background) is that what the cult call viruses are involved in evolutionary/ adaptive processes- basically mutagens that are generally benign- if they were not, we and most other creatures would have been wiped out long ago- or not appeared in the first place. They may be functioning as corrective mechanisms to prevent the genetic degradation of organisms.
However, western science is rather ignorant of the miracle of life as it is irredeemably based on strict materialism. Their understanding of the human body and health/ disease is irredeemably tainted by the desire to control, exploit and “fight disease” in a hubristic and vein attempt to eradicate death.

Absolutely! –> “..western science is rather ignorant of the miracle of life as it is irredeemably based on strict materialism. Their understanding of the human body and health/ disease is irredeemably tainted by the desire to control, exploit and “fight disease” in a hubristic and vein attempt to eradicate death.”
Let’s go back to first principles. Simple logic.
No viral contagion between humans has ever been shown or proven in experiments.
No virus has been isolated and purified and shown to cause illness in humans or animals.
When one delves deeper and reads the scientific literature, there is no proof for the claims of viruses existing as exogenous microbes or causing illness and disease.
There’s no scientific, evidentiary, or physical proof of virologists claims about viruses or viral infection whatsoever.

Analysis of the vaccines is crucial right now, but would take courage. Likewise in the years to come, statisticians need to be truthful and forthcoming if they notice any correlations. If the vaccinated start dying earlier than the unvaccinated, then whistles need to be blown
I a sceptical of the vaccines I admit. I thought the only way to alter DNA is through the use use of CRISPR-cas9. Is that not the case? Is that in the vaccines?
Dr Tom Cowan seems to explain it here.
First of all, we don’t really know what is in the vaccine until independent analysis is performed to verify the contents.
Thus far, we only have press releases from the manufacturers.
Traditional “vaccines” have been shown to cause DNA changes. In vitro experiments have demonstrated uptake of mutated DNA into healthy DNA occurs spontaneously once foreign DNA is introduced. Therefore permanent modification can occur when subjects are vaccinated with foreign human and animal tissue.
Consumption of GMOs can lead to permanent sterility (Epicyte gene) and therefore permanent DNA modification.
mRNA is messenger RNA, which transcribes cell DNA and translates it to the Ribosome, producing the alleged spike protein. This could lead to permanent DNA alteration if the mRNA affected cells replicate or the mRNA translocates to the cell nucleus.
CRISPR cas9 is ”gene editing“ technology, where specific genes are targeted, then removed or modified.

Very scary. UK Labour Party behaving like genuine fascists. If Labour MPs’ salaries were negatively impacted by lockdowns would they be so keen on lockdowns?
The fact remains that the NHS is counting deaths for any reason within 28 days of a positive test as ‘Covid’ deaths – which is criminal distortion. People have died from cancelled medical treatments because the NHS is prioritising Covid above anything else
4.5m people are on NHS waiting list for cancelled treatments or screenings. 70,000 have become homeless because of lockdowns
Labour’s attacks on those who question lockdowns are today’s equivalent of ‘let them eat cake’
‘So Labour want Sir Desmond Swayne burnt at the stake for opposing lockdowns. In less than twelve months we’ve hurtled backwards four hundred years.’

The Czech health minister said on the other day that only 30% of CV-reported deaths were actually of CV. The reporting is the same as what you refer to and includes people dead in car accidents, anything. He was immediately the target of the wrath of everybody left and right, and the prime minister is now voicing dissatisfaction with his performance … 😀 … He’s probably ripe for getting the boot and being replaced with a more obedient asshole. Meanwhile, despite the fact that the number are dropping (people are probably getting it that if they don’t get tested, there will be no cases), the government is calling for tougher measures because “it’s not looking good”. The problem is that hospitals are full, which is a) bullshit and/or b) they’re full of essentially healthy people because they’re getting generous reimbursements for anybody with COVID, like six times the normal rate.… Read more »
This fascist nightmare is happening all over the world. Do those pushing lockdowns actually want a dystopia for their own children and grandchildren?Because that’s what they’ll get
It’s the scientific illiterate and the fearful virtue-signallers that annoy me most. As if they’ve found a purpose for living all of a sudden, which entails destroying everyone else’s life for the greater good
Ben, it’s the supposedly scientifically literate who are making my blood boil. Those who should be able to see through the nonsense. I think it was Upton Sinclair who said something about it being difficult to get someone to understand something if his career depends upon not understanding it.
There must, surely, be many doctors (and nurses, and managers, and lots of other people) who know perfectly well it’s all a massive scam but are presumably too scared to put their heads above the parapet. In the UK, it has become increasingly difficult, and I would say now pretty much impossible, for anyone who works for the NHS to speak freely or question the narrative.
Only yesterday I was stunned seeing that the official Yearbook Statistics in Germany won’t be continued. Last edition was 2019. All the while I wondered how they will reconcile their lies with the hard numbers counted by real statisticians. Answer: They abolish statistics. Reminded me that in East Germany they even had a Ministery for Statistics (must have been on the same floor with the one for Silly Walks).
My Czech contact was cross-country skiing the other day, with a friend.
I have linked to this before but here it is again. “You are all of you confessed idolators.”
The latest innovation at the residential home where I work is a device to measure levels of carbon dioxide in the air. Apparently, if levels go a bit too high, it facilitates the transmission of the coronavirus which causes the deadly ‘Covid-19’. When the meter shows a certain level of carbon dioxide, windows must be opened, so that we’re all saved from ‘The Covids’.
At least, that’s what I took from the explanation a colleague gave me. I dunno, though; my mind wandered as he was explaining it to me, as I was safe in the knowledge that it was complete and utter bollocks, as is everything else which emanates from the putrid minds of the wankers who run this so-called ‘care’ company.

That entry image is lovely… I can only see a single moron slave wearing a muzzle!
Not very common nowadays.
I have to admit that I don’t have a good handle on what is going on in India right now, so I’m grateful that Off-Graun is running articles offering different points of view on the subject. One way or another, my sympathies will always be with the farmers. One point that needs to be made, however, is that agricultural price-supports are no cure-all. While they may provide some temporary relief to struggling farmers, which is good, over the long haul they will not necessarily stop the corporate takeover of farming. How do I know? Because this is precisely what happened in the US, which adopted price-supports in the 1930s. In the short term, it did help out struggling small farmers; but since the subsidies were calculated based in part acreage, they ultimately benefitted the big farmers even more, allowing them to start buying up the small farms … and that’s… Read more »
Hello Seamus Padraig: The only appropriate cure toward plantation/slave relationships, is to BAN all corporate agency, world wide. No one seems to see this move as an
appropriate solution. They must enjoy sucking that filthy corporate dick…
I know of at least one person who’s advocated that: Ralph Nader. I recall twenty-five years ago, when he was arguing that the state had the legal right to revoke corporate charters if they failed to act in the public interest. I loved it so much I voted for him in two consecutive elections.

Lockdown Measures In Spain, Denmark And The Netherlands Bring Citizens Out In Protest |
There is a potential error in the info in this video: The Spanish fascist government ( which never abolished Franco’s Guardia Civil or booted their royal scum) has imposed “restrictions” a.ka. lockdown since LAST SUMMER. Some of the worse is in the province of Galicia where along with the curfew people are not allowed to eat, drink or smoke outside and the fine is 600 euros, and they are even using plain clothes cops to enforce their rules.
There is a saying there along the lines of: Where words don’t work, sticks will.
IT IS TIME FOR STICKS.
It is time for people to wear their Personal Protective Equipment (masks, goggles, helmets, shields) and fucking RAISE HELL.
FIGHT DIRTY.
Do not go to protest without your PPE because you WILL be attacked.
TIME FOR STICKS indeed… Unfortunately moron slaves are not very good using sticks!
They always waste good sticks on the WRONG targets.
First, during the lovely night and just FOR FUN, go after the copigs at theirs slave quarters…
After the FUN go after the millionaires, Billionaires and if living nearby especially go after the Secular Ruling Families.
USE THE STICK WISELY! Otherwise it will just be a wasted stick.
Where you find velvet, push.
Where you find steel, retreat.

Very good insights by Colin Todhunter in this article.
He is right when he says “At the same time, the richer countries are applying enormous pressure on India to scrap its meagre agricultural subsidies; yet their own subsidies are vast multiples of India’s. The end result could be India becoming dependent on imports and the restructure of its own agriculture to crops destined for export.”
I am from India and can say that the ground reality here is complex.
Indian agriculture also has a lot of fedual land owners who do not always have the best interests of the people in mind.
But it is nothing compared to the agenda of the transnational companies/conglomerates, and their crony Indian partners, which is far, far worse.
I am reading Milton Mayer’s ‘they thought they were free’. Thus far I like it, of course ‘the Germans’ must have had some rationale to go willingly into a nazism, anti semitische and a world war. It reminds me of today with the people acting as one when it concerns the Covid, the hatred towards those who think different and the killing that will come, not by bombs, but through other measures like lock down (up), etc There is this other book that keeps coming back to me: Golding’s ‘Lord of the flies’. The smoothing part of that book is that there are adults in the end to which the boys automatically succumb when they visit the Island that the boys set in fire, after which they are saved. Who are the adults in this world? – Certainly not the ones that we once were told were the adults, ie the… Read more »
One small (but important) point is in order: unlike ‘Covid-19,’ the threats that the Germans faced back then were real: the Versailles Treaty, reparations-induced hyperinflation, Bolshevism (both in Russia as well as the attempted ‘Spartacist’ revolution in Germany itself). In Hitler, the Germans may or may not have chosen the right man to deal with the problem, but no knowledgeable person can honestly claim that their problems were completely made up.
And they were doing well but for the war….
Should anyone now look like throwing off the yoke it will be the same thing.
Exactly. The Treaty of Versailles combined with alleged “reparations”, induced massive hyperinflation and crippled industrial development. The German people would not have embraced Adolf Hitler if they’d been allowed any other choice but starvation. The entire history of WWII has been massaged by liberal artistry.
The hyper-inflation was long over by 1933 and the Depression hit everywhere except the USSR. If you want to love Hitler, do, but at least get your facts right.
Hello Waldorf: I see. Your version of events is superior to mine, even though I’ve studied 10,000 years of anthropology and human history. You should be proud…
Yes, it’s true that hyper-inflation was over by 1933. But the damage done to pensioners and renters, who lost all their savings or hard-earned money, was long-lasting.
As far as the USSR was concerned, it’s true that the Great Depression never touched them. But then again, even if it had, who would have noticed, with millions of people dropping dead from one state-induced famine after another?
Your refusal to understand what really happened in the early USSR of the twenties and thirties (which was a very different animal from the stable and peaceful USSR of the sixties and seventies) renders you incapable of understanding why the peoples of Eastern and Central turned so heavily against the Soviets and against Communism back then.
Quite right, Paul. And since it is being used as propaganda to demonize ‘nationalism’ and ‘populism’ in order to justify the New World Order, it is crucial to revisit the interbellum period to counter-act that propaganda and set the record straight.
Germany had its fair-share of nationalists, just as any country will. But for the average German of the era, the fact that Hitler rapidly managed to eliminate unemployment and crime counted for far more than some gauzy, abstract ideology.
In fact, I half-suspect that was the main reason why London and Washington began to turn so heavily against Hitler, despite that fact that he was eager to market himself as the ‘thin grey line against Communism’: his economic and social policies were putting Britain and America to shame!
So remember that idea the next the MSM start calling some populist politician somewhere ‘literally Hitler!!!’
Hello Seamus Padraig: Thank you for pointing out the fact that anti-Hitler propaganda has dominated the public record. I’m not a fan of how Hitler responded at the behest of his “advisors”, and believe he was duped…
I’ve grown tired of the canned knee jerk responses of the uneducated. As I stated in my reply to Mr Waldorf, I’m hardly a novice at the study of history.
For an intellectual exercise in how propaganda can be repackaged to massage historical interpretation, watch the entire documentary named:
“The Greatest Story Never Told.”
The Greatest Story Never Told : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
It’s quite an eye opener…
I’ve watched it before. I’ve also been following Unz.com for years, where a lot of good revisionist articles have appeared.
I’d heard this also. Wasn’t Allen Dulles part of the USA team that put together the Treaty of Versaille? From what i understand Germany was pressured into using American companies to help rebuild. Those American companies were represented by Wall St. investment companies (Dulles brothers). So there was a lot of money to be made on this side of the ocean.
Hello Judith: You must mean this Allen Dulles: > “Allen W. Dulles (1893-1969) was many things before he became the Office of Strategic Services’ (OSS) “Our Man in Bern.” After graduating from Princeton, he joined the State Department’s Foreign Service in 1916 and was assigned to Bern, Switzerland. His acceptance to the Foreign Service was probably not harmed by family connections to the State Department. His maternal grandfather, John W. Foster, was Secretary of State under Benjamin Harrison, and his uncle by marriage, Robert Lansing, was Secretary of State under Woodrow Wilson.“ Further down the page: “Dulles arrived in Switzerland in November, 1942, where he made little effort to disguise his role in Bern. Swiss newspapers identified him as a personal representative of President Roosevelt, with “special duties.” Dulles preferred this high profile as it encouraged potential agents to flock to him. His British counterpart, Frederick Vanden Huevel, the Secret… Read more »
Oh, I got the detes about Dulles from listening to Danny Sheehan’s lectures at UC Santa Cruz. Sheehan gives a history lesson of the cabal the likes of which I have never read or seen in video.
Traces the history of the connections of Bush, Walker, Dulles, Harriman, Brown Brothers, Sullivan and Cromwell, etc etc. plus the other families. Talk about the crime families.
Learned about Skorzeny and Galen (sic?) and the SOS. All that. Fascinating. Watched the series twice.
That’s why it is so difficult when people ask “You don’t believe in the virus???” How do you give them a history lesson which supports why “No- I don’t believe anything the government tells me”
