Dutch Farmers: Canaries in the Globalist Coal Mine | Michael Yon & Eva Vlaardingerbroek | EP 340
Should accept yourself just the way you are. What does that say about who I should become? Is that just now off the table because I'm already good enough in every way? So am I done or something?
Get the hell up, get your act together, adopt some responsibility, put your life together, develop a vision, unfold all those manifold possibilities that lurk within. Be a force for good in the world, and that'll be the adventure of your life.

They attack the minds of our people, really, and especially young minds, from both ways. It's, on the one hand, this apocalyptic, like the whole world is going to come to an end, a really alarmist story. Then, on the other hand, on the individual level, it's an anything-goes story. Everything is relative, you know? There's just, there's your truth, there's my truth, there's nothing such as an absolute truth, you know? There's no God, there's no real morality, everything goes.
That combination is so incredibly deadly, and that's why I think it's so important what you're doing with this, and we need to counter it. The most intense and totalitarian tyranny will necessarily emerge in the midst of the most fragmented and individualized population. You can't have a tyranny without fractionated individuals, and it is a perverse marriage, right, of that intense subjective so-called freedom with this insane top-down international distant tyranny.
We're definitely drifting in that direction super fast, again, with massive people coming from massive numbers of countries into places like the United States and all across the EU. That creates that fracture, not at the personal level in one mind but in the whole population. You know, nobody's going to be able to come together. Like, you aren't going to have Dutch farmers in the Netherlands that are going to be able to stand up because they're going to be replaced, right?
Then you're going to have a bunch of people from Somalia and other places that are all mixed together. They won't have any centralized ability to organize perfect slaves. I mean, this is very easy; this is what they say they're going to do.

Thank you. Hello everyone! I'm pleased today to have the opportunity to have a discussion with Michael Yawn, who's one of the world's great roving journalists. He's been in all the hell holes around the world—maybe not all of them, but a good proportion of them—over the last few decades.
He's written for many of the major news outlets across the world. At the moment, he's in the Netherlands covering the Dutch farmers' protest, among other things. He's accompanied by Eva Vlardinger Brooke, who is a political figure in Europe, in the Netherlands.
They've both been attending the Dutch farmer protests, and I wanted to get them together today to talk about, well, why anyone should care about the fact that Dutch farmers are protesting, how many of them are protesting, what it means, and what the broader issues are at stake.
Because what's happening in the Netherlands is a reflection of a socio-political struggle that's going on at a very deep level between worldviews that are truly in opposition. The Dutch farmer protest, in my estimation, is a—what would you say?—it's a microcosm of a much larger battle that's raging and will continue to rage for the next while.
So, Michael, maybe let's start with you. How long have you been in the Netherlands now, in this span of time?
Well, during this trip in particular, I've been back for about one week. As you know, we were together here last year, and I came on your podcast last year. I was down in Mexico, watching the migration, if you want to call it that, into Texas.
Then I saw that the Dutch farmers were blocking the streets in the Netherlands, and having lived in Europe for more than six years, I realized that was significant. So I jumped on an airplane, I left Mexico, came straight here to the Netherlands, and went out to the first farmers I could find blocking streets. I said, "Why are you blocking the streets?"
And so, because, you know, in every country...
