The California National Guard was forced to dispel rumors Thursday that were running rampant on social media, saying that more evacuations would soon be needed. The story spread fast in Oroville after a citizen recorded her conversation with a soldier.
“And what the soldier said was wrong,” California National Guard Major General David Baldwin said.
“You can absolutely trust your National Guard. We’re a community-based force,” Baldwin added. “We’re fighting and winning our nation’s wars. We are out there on the line defending our country and helping people here at home. They can absolutely trust them. Having said that, people make mistakes and we are going to address mistakes.”
KCRA 3 also learned Thursday that 15 construction crew members were terminated from the job this week.
Five were fired after they failed a drug test, five others were terminated for posting on social media from the worksite — which is forbidden — and five others were let go because they were found to be unqualified for the job, DWR spokesman Chris Orrock said.

That was an interesting exchange and reaction yesterday.
A poster made an apt observation about it somewhere yesterday, saying this is what happens when citizens lose trust in their public officials and government. EVERYTHING becomes suspect, conspiracies abound and facts become scarce.
Whether it’s about a potential dam implosion, Russians fixing the election or the earth being flat...it’s all up for grabs.
So 33% druggies, 33% idiots and 33% unqualified. Sounds about like a typical construction crew in Kalifornia.
Maybe the e something knight guy on youtube that posted the video of the worksite and said the dam is going to fail?
