I also live in the Central Valley. I do not believe the “Delta smelt” issue is all about the Delta smelt. I believe it is and always has been about controlling access to WATER. Control the water and you can put the farmer out of business. Then the government can come and buy up the land cheap. I don’t think the high speed train is just about the high speed train either. Another ruse to take farmland away from the farmer. Control the means of food production and you control the people. And, Agenda 21 creeping its way in.

I too have wondered about A21.

The train thing hadn’t entered my mind.

You're on to something there. Feels like the state bureaucracy is channeling towards hydraulic despotism...

You are correct.
