Last week on Fox News' Tucker Carlson show, a young Dutch media personality introduced American viewers to a frightening new vision: The government of the Netherlands, she said, was stealing Dutch farmland "under the guise" of a fabricated environmental crisis, but actually as part of a communist plot to transform Holland's countryside into mass housing for immigrants and to enact something called the "Great Reset."
The oracle behind this dire prediction was Eva Vlaardingerbroek, a former candidate for Holland's far-right Forum for Democracy party whose strident demeanor and good looks have earned her the Dutch media nicknames "Aryan princess," "shield maiden for the right" and, apparently since last week, "Eva Braun." But Vlaardingerbroek and Carlson aren't the only folks advancing this narrative.
Half a year after it went all-in for the Canadian trucker convoy protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates, the American right has adopted a new international cause: Dutch farmers who are demonstrating against environmental regulations by parading tractors down highways, lining roads with burning hay bales, blocking food distribution centers, international borders and airports, and spraying liquid manure on government buildings.
The term ‘A Green New Deal’ originated from a 2008 report published by the British left-wing think tank, the New Economics Foundation

Salon, alriiighty then, immediate dismissal of importance, IMO. It's not really a news source so much as it is the Myspace of failure "journalists" who would really benefit from a weekend in Amsterdam themselves for once.

Farmer protests began soon after the 2019 court decision, and some tipped into violence. That year, protesters carried a coffin emblazoned with the name of a Green party politician, compared farmers' plight to the Holocaust and used tractors as battering rams to force open the doors of a provincial city hall, tear down neighborhood fences and drive into a police horse.
