Turn the water back on in CA, do you realize how many jobs have been lost just by that one act alone, not to mention higher food costs and, eventually, food shortages.


I recently drove from L.A. to the San Francisco area on Interstate 5. The drive takes you through the great San Joaquin Valley with its farms and orchards. Well, for about 200 miles, where there was once fertile land and all sorts of crops growing on either side of the highway as far as the eye could see, there was only dirt. Every mile or so you would see a yellow sign next to the road that said, "Congress Created Dust Bowl". Other signs said, "No Water, No Jobs, No Future".

I drive this route visiting family up north about twice a year, and I was shocked to see this. Last December there were crops galore. Now there are two hundred miles of dirt, because the federal government took away the farmers' water. Incredible. I'd like to know what the deal is!

They claim the "deal" is the Delta Smelt, a non indigenous species that was brought into CA in the 1940s. Supposedly the pumps kill them. So? They have survived this long what makes them think they won't survive longer and who cares if they don't?

The real deal is more sinister than that and I have several theories: One:)They are trying to starve people out as the communists have always done(most logical explanation since the greenies are nothing but an extension of the communist party). Two)It is a land grab scheme, make the farmers fail, then buy up the land for pennies on the dollar when they are forced to sell. Three)Simply a tactic to further destroy the economy and bring us to our knees.

It has to be one of those reasons. Why we are putting up with it in this state I have no idea. What is really bad is this law was passed while Bush was still in office in Dec 2008. Why did he sign this crappy law?

It’s called sustainable development; been going on for a long time and it’s everywhere. It means sustain wildlife and sacrifice human development and/or erase human carbon feet prints, etc.

It’s all a sick plan to starve America from it’s love of freedom..

It’s a tragedy of massive proportions .. Glenn Beck covered it this week:

Prayers for these oppressed folks and all of
our dear America. Food shortages should definitely
be coming.
