““Towns and villages around Isfahan have been hit so hard by drought and water diversion that they have emptied out and people who lived there have moved,” said Hadi Ghaemi, the executive director for the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI), a New York-based advocacy group.

“Nobody pays any attention to them. And people close to Rouhani told me the government didn’t even know such a situation existed and there were so many grievances.”

Rouhani and Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei mentioned drought as a problem that needs to be addressed in the country during their speech last week commemorating Nowruz, the Iranian new year, while condemning “lawlessness and violence”.

An ad running on state TV which encourages Iranian citizens to conserve water shows a man sitting in a chair in the middle of a desert with the slogan, “Drought is closer than you think”.

A United Nations report last year noted, “Water shortages are acute; agricultural livelihoods no longer sufficient. With few other options, many people have left, choosing uncertain futures as migrants in search of work.”

Reminds me of California’s “water crisis”.

Is this the area the farmers are rioting with their trackers because the government re-routed the water to where the farms are cut off?

Had to do a drive-by on this thread. These people are really getting annonying. I just realized. Not only are they months behind and wrong on all their takes, but they are so far behind they still think Obama or W is President. We are living in a completely different world with YUGELY different global relationships.

Haly says U.S. wont pull troops until goals accomplished.

Here is one of my responses to the "I hate Haley/Why did we bomb poor Syria" rants.

Hate to tell ya, but you're living in an Obama world. Update your info. Saudi is turned, they are OUR bitch now, and they are working with Israel and other Arab states. The Donald's actions in Syria, and the kabuki Russian bitching but ultimate stand down, has served to isolate Iran.

There is much more going on here than your outdated realpolitik theories. You and the rest of you belly-achers. I invite you all the the Qanon thread where you may become educated on what's REALLY going on in the world. I will now depart this fine thread. See you in Q-ville, or be square.

I am recalling that some of the Globalists desire “mega” cities, and shifting of populations out of rural areas into the cities.

Throughout history man has always dependent upon water. Water was so important in ancient Egypt that the Phaeroh had to be able to perform publicly with the queen to ensure the Nile would flood to ensure the civilization would not die from starvation. This is why ancient (and it seems new age) peoples were so tied to fertility gods and goddesses as well as fertility rites, pagan rituals, etc.

Whoever controls the water controls the ability to grow sustenance and to survive in general. The west flourishes over the rest of the world because of the abundance of potable water (high quality H2O) compared to even the other 1st world countries.

Water is directly related to quality of life, sustenance of life, population size, control of disease, abundance of industry, etc.

If the DS can through nefarious means either directly or by corruption control water and water quality around the planet they believe they can control the size of the world’s population as well as the roll they will play in the DS utopia of the future.

Q says watch the water, Mr Baseball would say “ many torrents”

This battle must be seen as one of breaking an automobile windshield, the rock strikes the glass yet instead of the window shattering into pieces and falling out, it shatters into a spider web while trying to maintain its (evil) integrity through the glue of its inner seal. Once this seal is broken the window can quickly be removed in short order.

POTUS had shattered the glass and is exposing the seal, how quickly this happens will depend on how much Q followers can ‘make it rain!’

Remember, even corrupt politicians value their positions over everything for without their positions of power they are without standing or friends. Public opinion and large voter turnouts are the things politicians fear the most!

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition (the red pills)!
