The German Asparagus Flights, Defender-Europe-2020, No Solidarity In Europe
7 APRIL 2020
Asparagus flights are arriving at Eindhoven Airport, The Netherlands, which is closed for Dutch citizens, but open for the slave laborer market. Hungarians and Romanians are allowed during the COVID-19 prohibitions to work at the large German asparagus farms so that the Germans can eat their luxury vegetable as usual.
What shall we tell our children in thirty years' time? One upon a time there was what we called a European Union, which was created to supposedly help all citizens and countries in Europe with free traveling and solidarity. But with the first major crisis, the solidarity and help disappeared. All countries in Europe closed their borders. Italy and Spain were left alone. Germany, like in the old days of WWI and WWII, felt superior towards the less financially strong countries and left them to die.
Germany immediately closed its borders with all their “brother” states: Austria, France, Poland and now even partly with the Netherlands. The reason for closing the border with the Netherlands is not the COVID-19 virus. According to the latest figures, the contagion and death toll are going down in the Netherlands. No, they want their slave markets to work properly. Their fresh fruits and vegetables from the slave market are partly secured from Southern Italy and Spain, although the south of Italy is rising up to the immense poverty and injustice they experience. But the problem of the asparagus harvest is immense for Germany, if we may believe, it's more like a luxury problem as I would call it compared to Italy and Spain.
Back to the asparagus, every year the Romanians and Hungarians come to Germany to harvest, but because of the closing of the borders, it’s impossible. Or not? The Germans found a way: close to the border with the Netherlands, they use Eindhoven Airport (close to the Bundesland North Rhein Westfalen) and charter some planes from WizzAir to fly these laborers (a bit better paid than on the African slave market but still an outcry) to harvest their precious asparagus so that the more fortunate people inside Germany can still have their luxury fruits. Taxi drivers from Germany even await them at Einhoven Airport. For these reasons, the Dutch call them “Asparagus flights”. Frau Merkel asked for solidarity, really? With whom? Only with their own people the Germans, I guess, which sounds familiar especially for the older Dutch people who experienced WWII. But no word about COVID-19 infections.
Eindhoven Airport
Several dozen drivers from taxis or mini-buses are waiting inside the arrival hall. They hold their files with names in front of them, facing the sliding doors. It contains the names of "big aspargus farms" in Germany, which are almost without exception mega asparagusfarms. Some are within an hour and a half to two hours drive, but many of them still have a long drive ahead of them. Zwingenberg for example, is a four-hour drive, while Ludwigsburg is five and a half hours away.
Asparagus flights have been arriving at Eindhoven Airport for days now. Wizzair aircrafts are full of Romanians and Hungarians. While employment agencies in the Netherlands have observed in recent weeks that only a few Polish workers are coming to the Netherlands, hundreds of ordinary Eastern European workers are landing in Eindhoven these days. Only with Wizzair; Ryanair hardly flies anymore and Transavia keeps its aircraft completely on the ground. So even though the Romanians and Hungarians might possibly be sick or infected, the German population is still not allowed to work, not even on the Asparagus farms, how contradictory.

A Boeing 747 from Atlas Air with a few dozen quartermasters from the US army arrived in the second week of March at Eindhoven Airport. Two more 747s with hundreds of soldiers followed, just before the partial lockdown in the Netherlands due to COVID-19. After that, they were transported to Woensdrecht airbase in Noord-Brabant, "the meeting point," said a spokesman for the airbase. The Boeing 747 is a strange phenomenon at Eindhoven Airport. "You don't often see such large aircraft here," said the spokesman, "but we are equipped fully for it, as a base”. During the same period, three ships arrived in the port of Vlissingen (Zeeland) carrying hundreds of tanks, armored vehicles, and containers with materials. The American exercise is supported by the Dutch armed forces. It says the “exercise” is put on hold due to COVID-19, but most material and soldiers from the US have already been transported to Eastern Europe and Germany.
The majority of the infected and dead are in the province of Noord-Brabant. Eindhoven is not the capital of Noord-Brabant but is the largest city in the province. So clearly, the US soldiers who came to the airport were not tested at that time. The slave workers are now to be tested, the German government said, but that is done inside Germany after they have left the Netherlands, where they could have contaminated the Dutch and Hungarian (WizzAir) airport personnel.
The border with Niedersachsen (another Bundesland close to the Netherlands) is closed, but NRW is open for the slave market. NRW is also the Bundesland with the most infections in Germany, which makes you wonder….
