Post by: Angel Eyes on July 12, 2022, 11:21:19 AM
Their president just fled the country on a naval vessel:

One of the comments:  "Is there room for Trudeau?"

For the Jan. 6 committee:  this is what a real insurrection looks like.

Money and/or gold and/or jewels would be my guess.

According to Tucker last night, Sri Lanka went so green (they have a 98% green scorecard) they have massive shortages of electricity, fuel, and food, with skyrocketing prices . . . as many predicted. Apparently the government there prohibited chemical fertilizers on farms, with the result that 1/3 of their farms simply shut down. Food shortages, anyone? Sri Lankans seem unhappy with shortages, runaway inflation, and hunger despite the clear and obvious moral superiority of the government's green agenda.

Keep an eye on the Netherlands next - the government there has ordered farms to cut their greenhouse emissions by 50%. Dutch farmers haven't embraced these orders and are being uncooperative.

I am sure someone was providing foreign aide to those leaders for going green, most of which didn't make it into govt accounts.

I know a big issue recently is that Sri Lanka has run out of foreign exchange and can no longer pay for oil and fuel.  The companies in India, etc., that were carrying them have cut them off.  They were getting some sort of emergency oil and fuel aid, but not enough to meet needs.

When are they going to have peaceful protests to fully trash things?

Yeah, that's my understanding of what's going on. Basically, they were running an extreme trade deficit, which led to them having no money to pay for oil, fuel, and fertilizer, so they implemented the "green" policies as a way to sweep all of that under the rug ("Well, we can't pay for fuel or fertilizer and our constituents will kill us if they find out we let it get this far, so we will try to sell it as being environmentally conscious!"), and it ended up blowing up in their faces.

 I haven't seen the after photos of the presidents place. They did storm it a few days ago.

This used to be on the WEF website:

Isn't that interesting. The WEF are the ones that told the Dutch to cut nitrogen emissions and have the farmers in the streets there.
