I want to know how the situation covered on Hannity today is not cause enough for armed insurrection by the people of California against the tyranny of Washington DC.
I want to know how governor Schwarzenegger has not called out the national guard and by force of arms turned the water on.
I want to know how any rational human being can look at the starving of an area, the destroyed landscape, the human misery caused by artificially starving an area of a natural resource and defend it.
I want to know if our government would accept such actions committed by a foreign power and not declare it an act of war. We know they would. Yet I want to know why this isn't an act of war against the American farmer and California in particular.
When I look at things in our nation's history like the "Whiskey Rebellion" arms have been taken up for far less provocation against an overreaching government.
I want to know how Nancy Pelosi can decry the language of political speech while allowing the government she serves in to starve and decimate the people of her state while holding the most powerful position in the legislative branch.
Why are we accepting this? Why are we trying to work through the courts? Why are our elected representatives failing? Why have we allowed people to starve, regions to parch, families to collapse, communities to turn to dust?
How are these people not emptying out their gun cabinets and taking up arms against being starved by an oppressive government?
If this won't cause armed insurrection nothing will.
bttt
You know what?? Those farmers are already lining up to get their food aid off the back of trucks, like something in a 3rd world country.

It is unbeleivable. Kudos to Hannity for bringing this story to light. It out to SCARE THE HELL OUT OF EVERY AMERICAN.
Half-way kinda related story from Iowahawk (not parody)

Way too afraid to make any waves.
Most people have no idea. Higher food prices are being forced on us on purpose just as high energy prices will be and the blame will be deflected from those causing it to those who did not.
I do not understand why they just don’t turn the valves back on?
Who controls them ? And whoever controls them , what are they going to do if a few thousand people show up and say
“we’re turning OUR water back on” Will the valve controllers
call the Sheriffs? or who? And they are going to refuse the people , in defense of the pissants that have caused this situation ? Doubtful....I’d say it’s time for a little
People Power . stop being ninnies and get out there in your thousands and just turn on the damn water already .
I was able to only hear about 10 minutes of the show, but Schwarzenflubber was on. What I heard him say was “my hands are tied; nothing I can do”. Which means to me that he doesn’t want to do anything about it. His environmentally aware dem wife would probably cut his pecker off if he did. He doesn’t give a flying f**k how many farms and how much food production is going down the tubes.
Yes it infuriates me. Can we start shooting yet or do we still have to play the politically correct “civility” game?
Actually this has been going on for years.
Look at what happened during the Bonus Army, when NFA was passed, GCA ‘68. Exactly nothing, and it is what we’ll continue to do.
Every person involved in writing NFA and getting it passed should have been in handcuffs the next day and thrown in jail for life.
We’ll continue to do that which we’ve been doing for a long time - nothing.
Just hope and pray people will see this for what it is.
I saw this on TV a few months ago too.. I think it was Greta. It’s really a strange story... strange that more people aren’t talking about it.
democrats value bait above babies!
Whoever thought that in the United States we would see government shutting down farms in order to purposefully cut down the food supply and raise food prices?
“We can’t eat as much as we want, drive as much as we want and turn our thermostats as low as we want and expect the rest of the world to just say... okay”
this is the equivalent of letting termites devour your house because you do not want to harm them, after all, the termites have families too you know !
Reminds me of "Ka" the snake from the "The Jungle Book" singing to Mowgli to "go to sleep" and "trussssst in me".... while he wraps him up in his coils.
