German Farm Protests Continue – New Shift to Add Blockades of Warehouse and Distribution Centers
By Sundance
The German farmer protests are strategic. The reality that food doesn’t originate in a grocery store is an odd concept for many who do not pay attention. The latest strategic move by the farmers aims to highlight the issue.
With an alliance of truckers supporting the farmers, the German farmers have now begun short-term blockades of warehouse and distribution centers. The farmers are following and disrupting the general supply chain, leading to delivery issues upon the downstream retail stores that carry their products.
GERMANY – In Germany, farmers block the warehouses of retailers Aldi, Amazon and Lidl. This is reported by the telegram channel “Militarist”.
As the media reported, the president of the Bavarian Farmers’ Association Gunther Felsner said that regional organizations representing the interests of farmers want to enter into dialogue with representatives of the federal government this week. According to the head of the association, if the authorities do not agree to concessions, nationwide protests will continue.
The FRG government should be interested in improving the situation, the lack of dialogue between the Cabinet and farmers harms all participants. This was stated, in turn, to the newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

This approach follows the continued use of farm tractors to block major roads and transportation arteries around Germany. The various cross border and national truckers support the farmers because the overall issues, particularly the diesel prices and taxes therein, are important to the economic livelihood of both.
It is particularly noteworthy that this specific set of protests is happening in Germany, the largest economy inside the EU bloc. Germany is the epicenter of the EU assembly, and Germany has abandoned their own currency in favor of the €uro. As a result, Germany -more than any other nation-is ‘all-in’ on the globalist agenda, and confrontation with the German government is akin to direct confrontation with the leadership in Brussels.
Western media are avoiding all reporting on the events because they do not want to fuel public awareness.
If the German farm protests are successful, it will be a major victory for the larger EU middle and working-class who support them. The assembly of government interests represented by Germany, Brussels, and the corporations in the World Economic Forum (the Build Back Better group) are essentially all targets of these protests even though the protests are happening in one nation. This is a systemic pushback against the entire globalist agenda.
To the German farmers who have watched similar action from Holland, Ireland and beyond, this is a zero-sum contest. They are all-in and not open to negotiating a series of slower terms for their eventual demise.
“Too much is too much – enough is enough” – this is the motto under which thousands of farmers are currently taking part in demonstrations and protests throughout Germany. Why are the farmers taking to the streets? The trigger is the planned changes to the tax on agricultural diesel, but this announcement by the federal government is not the only reason for the frustration of the farmers, it only brings the barrel to overflowing. It’s about more and more bureaucracy and requirements, about less and less planning security and appreciation. All this stinks the farmers enormously. That’s why they roll into the city centre with their tractors, paralyze traffic in parts and hope for their actions not only for understanding, but also for the sympathy of consumers. The message from the farmers: without us farmers, there would be no food, at least not domestic food.
