Once you’ve abliterated the US economy, devalued the US currency, blocked oil production on US soil, then that next most important step is controlling the water supply.
That way you have the whole populous by the nards
The majority of the population now rely almost completely on the Government for their ability to live or function.
This thing is almost over for us and nobody even notices or cares.
If you have no money to purchase water, and no access to water without purchase from the govt, you can live only 3-5 days. Although living 2 days without water has been described as living hell.
