Three Gorges Dam May Collapse
Various | 06/23/2020 | struggle

Posted on 06/23/2020 9:56:07 AM PDT by struggle

The Three Gorges Dam is one of the biggest if not the biggest gravity dam in the world. China is currently seeing record flooding, with three-four days of rain still in the future for the area around the dam.

When the dam was under construction, they asked foreign consultants to come in and inspect the dam. The consultants noted poor concrete quality and insufficient rebar supports. The Chinese then kicked the consultants out and called them racist.

A good video of the extent of the flooding.

The dam itself has taken damage from a 2012 earthquake and is now currently stressed. If it were to break, millions of lives could be at stake, especially since a huge amount of power is wired through the dam, thus, if it breaks during the night, people could be making a blind rush into the dark and into a wall of water.

I guess you weren’t paying attention with Hurricane Harvey.

Thanks. Cut enough corners and I guess they will cut—or flood—you.

“Any chance there’s CIA weather manipulation involved here?”

No need, it’s a Chinese project so it’s likely to fall apart on its own anyway.

Boy, 2020 is the year that just keeps on giving, isn’t it?

It's funny. At the beginning of the year, I told everyone "It looks like 2020 is going to be a good year."

Then everything went to h3ll.

They must have brought out Dick Cheney and George Bush’s weather machine they used during Katrina.

They have been saying this for years. There are some great documentaries out there on it. If it goes, it’s gonna be a mess.

During the Gret Leap Forward, the communists decided that China would become a leader in steel production. They went with municipal steel plants at the village level, and then told everyone how much steel to produce to meet the goal. When the proletariat workers weren’t able to smelt raw iron ore in the quantities needed, they melted down all their tools, their hammers, shovels, rakes and hoes. This is how communism works. If they say build the world’s biggest dam, you basically build the biggest dam.

I like to say, and this is original me, that the Chinese are really good at making things that look just like the real thing, so close that you can actually use them as the real thing for a short time, When it stops working is when you fnd out that the tool set you bought is actually a real working replica tool set. I think they built a real working replica of the world’s biggest dam.

Yep. It’s starting to have that 1968 feel.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Gee! Poor construction? Competent consultants are racist?

That’s what the Demon-cRats would do. That’s what they will do if elected. The Katrina levies are **proof **of that!

The dam is China’s strategic achilles heel in case of war.

They better start building a huge arc and start selecting seats in it for privileged communist leaders.
