Ping.
Knew it was coming. Even Beck warned peeps. The ‘NASA’ study that popped out, yesterday, is only the beginning, folks.
You think the war on oil is bad? Just wait. They’re going for our water.
That is the fastest way to start an insurrection.
How can you arguably have a republic when the States cannot even claim the water within their own borders?
Wars have been fought for less, and been entirely justified.
Dohbama is punishment to the USA for murdering their babies..
His 2nd term will be devastating..
The question is.. does the USA deserve Dohbama..
This is how Agenda 21 will be forced onto the people. It will be incremental, a little here, a little there — always disguised as the beneficial solution to some “crisis.” Eventually the owners of the land will be herded into disgusting tenements in planned cities and the land (and water) will be used for the benefit of all species but homo sapiens. There have already been several trial runs and there will be more, all with the willing help of a traitorous media.
Indian and Forest Service “reserves” are entitled to the amount of water to accomplish the purpose of the reservation dated to the date the land was withdrawn into federal reserves. It is called the Winter’s Doctrine:
Winters v. United States (207 U.S. 564 (1908) http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=207&invol=564
Reserved Water Rights. The Court upheld the power of the federal government to exempt waters from appropriation under state water law, and held that the government had in fact reserved the waters of the Milk River in order to fulfill the purposes of the agreement between the Indians and the United States. The case dealt only with current needs and did not address the future needs of the Indians. Skeem v. United States, 273 F. 93 (9th Cir. 1921)(applying Winters Doctrine to allotted lands;)
“Reserved” water rights are unlike riparian rights or prior appropriation rights, although they contain elements of both. For example, like riparian rights, reserved rights are appurtenant to land; that is, land ownership is the basis of the right. Also like riparian rights, reserved rights are not lost by nonuse. But reserved water can be used on nonriparian lands. And like prior appropriation rights, reserved rights have priority dates which reflect the security of the right. . . . However, the priority date for reserved rights is the date of the reservation or earlier, not the date of diversion, as in the case of most appropriation rights.
The chief characteristic of reserved rights is that they are federal rights, grounded on the (mostly implied) intent of the federal government to reserve water for its purposes. This characteristic serves to distinguish reserved rights from both prior appropriation and riparian rights.

In CA, most reservations were created by Executive Order. Treaties ceding land were NOT ratified by Congress because aboriginal rights (except for a few publos) were considered terminated while under Mexican Rule and the tribes failed to make claims when the land settlement commission was convened after the Treaty of Guiadalupe Hidalgo.
There were several lawsuits and CA tribes were given some monetary consideration for the loss without affirmation of any aboriginal claim.
In Oregon, however, the tribes were considered to cede territory to the U.S. through treaty and they retained their water rights dating to time immemorial. (See the Adair cases.)

Tag for later, gotta get some sleep!
Dumb fight to pick. It's either obey FedGuv and die or have your water and tell them to FO.
