CA Water Shortage: Schwarzenegger | Obama | AutryThe focus of CA central valley's water shortage has been Fresno. See my page to learn about secret water diversion. http://www.myspace.com/marlalk4 After you understand what has been uncovered and who the officials are behind this, the following information seems to paint another picture. Introducing the Cast:President Obama and CA Gov. Schwarzenegger  Gov. Schwarzenegger and former Fresno Mayor Alan Autry  ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ RECAP: CA was declared "bankrupt." CA's water shortage was declared a state disaster. At the same time plans continue for CA to become the next "Las Vegas!" Contracts with Caesar's and Harrah's have already been signed! http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS253427+04-Feb-2009+PRN20090204 Station Casinos Announces Solicitation of Acceptances for Restructuring Plan; Fertitta... 2/4/09 This, according to Swieso (who has invested 50 yrs into this operation), is where our water is headed. Casinos, housing, golf courses, dams, etc. ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ Below is a A U-Tube of Obama re: African farmers exporting food to America due to CA's "water shortage." At 2:29 of the video, Alan Autry stars in a grandiose performance of anger at the injustices taking place. (Alan Autry behind the Restraining Order issued against me for reporting the atrocities that took place as the City of Fresno conspired with his ringleader, Swieso [self-proclaimed Hitler], in annihilating my family and neighbors in order to seize our properties by fraud; tear them apart and rebuild on top of the secretly replaced water system. Death threats followed, if I continue to expose this operation.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnYrYmQZ1nE U-Tube: OBAMA PROMISES 3.5 BILLION TO AFRICAN FARMERS SO THEY CAN EXPORT FOOD TO USA ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ Do you see another grandiose performance coming? "Community activists and Valley politicians are stepping up their efforts to bring national attention to the area's water shortage -- pleading Tuesday for President Barack Obama to visit the drought-plagued farmlands."[con't] http://www.fresnobee.com/local/story/1592064.html Obama urged to see water-starved Valley 8/11/09 ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ All 3 of these gentlemen claim to be acting on behalf of the public's best interest. Yet with little effort, it would be proven that we are being lied to and set up - our water is being secretly diverted for upcoming development. According to Swieso, this is the continuation of the late John Bonadelle's "secret water operation." http://www.dailyrepublican.com/fresno_developer_indicted.html Leading Developer Indicted

She logged onto her my space today, so she still up and running here is the recap or pulse if you will
Possible baby-selling operation behind the Autry/Swieso cover-up. ID theft; real estate fraud; suspected homicides; unsolved murders.Mood: distraught distraught2 hours ago
Marla, just so you know, I have been telling my customers from Cali the issues (I have very little time to do that) and telling them to check out the water situation and the movement of property lines and the crime syndicate in place there.

From infowars: http://www.infowars.com/destroying-california-farms-to-save-smelt/Destroying California Farms to Save SmeltThe Wall Street Journal September 10, 2009 California has a new endangered species on its hands in the San Joaquin Valley—farmers. Thanks to environmental regulations designed to protect the likes of the three-inch long delta smelt, one of America’s premier agricultural regions is suffering in a drought made worse by federal regulations. The state’s water emergency is unfolding thanks to the latest mishandling of the Endangered Species Act. Last December, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued what is known as a “biological opinion” imposing water reductions on the San Joaquin Valley and environs to safeguard the federally protected hypomesus transpacificus, a.k.a., the delta smelt. As a result, tens of billions of gallons of water from mountains east and north of Sacramento have been channelled away from farmers and into the ocean, leaving hundreds of thousands of acres of arable land fallow or scorched. For this, Californians can thank the usual environmental suspects, er, lawyers. Last year’s government ruling was the result of a 2006 lawsuit filed by the Natural Resources Defense Council and other outfits objecting to increased water pumping in the smelt vicinity. In June, things got even dustier when the National Marine Fisheries Service concluded that local salmon and steelhead also needed to be defended from the valley’s water pumps. Those additional restrictions will begin to effect pumping operations next year.

Hi, Luckee. Missed this one today ~ what a horible disgrace. How can they get by with this? Easy ~ as the ringleader says, "The public believes anything they are told." Behind closed doors, the public and farmers without water are being laughed at for being too "oblivious" to ever figure out the truth behind this "water shortage." 50 yrs of cities being secretly rebuilt on top of a new water system, for the purpose of re-directing our water for upcoming development. It could be easily verified. Since this affects the entire nation, it is more shocking that it has not been looked into. But that is why we are all being laughed at ~ the public continues pleading for help from the very people/agencies behind the fraud, lies and deceit. ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ COPY OF A BULLETIN I POSTED TODAY Gruesome crimes are being committed against CA central valley residents in order to secretly replace the water system without leaving witnesses or complaints. Talk and evidence of unknown chemicals being used to keep the public from *seeing* what is taking place. Fresno's Public Works, who is behind this operation, will not allow the tap water to be tested for pharmaceuticals. ( http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=403660013&blogID=452356419 ) This is the same department that issued a Restraining Order against me for reporting the major reconstruction to public and private properties, altering records to cover up the evidence. Their fake work crew, run by Wilbert Swieso + Jeffry C. Winslow, is running people off property and leaving a trail of burglaries, ID theft, forged documents, suspected homicides, unsolved murders. Death threats and sexual harassment for reporting this.    For 50 yrs, cities have been secretly rebuilt on top of the new water system - described on my page <a href=http://www.myspace.com/marlalk4>Click: Marla</a>. As the public is told of a "water shortage", our water is being re-directed for upcoming development. The public as well as farmers left without water are being laughed at - the joke is that everyone is too "oblivious" to ever figure this out. The public is entitled to know the truth - we are also entitled to be safe from those who are "clearing the path" so this operation can continue. Please help me expose this to various news agencies.

This is a picture of the infamous smelt, behind CA's "water shortage."  And people believe this. No one questions anything - instead, they continue to argue and plead for help from the very people / agencies who are making complete asses out of us. They are laughing at us for being too "oblivious" to ever see or figure out the truth behind this "water shortage." The truth is on my page. New photos added! http://www.myspace.com/marlalk4

Do you have any desire to get out of Fresno and California? Perhaps you can continue the fight from a relatively safe distance?? I just fear for you life, especially since you claim that all your neighbors have been killed and you have been threatened. What if somebody could put you up while you continue your fight with these dirt bags?

For me to leave would be exactly what these people want - they want me off this property so they can finish up and alter the deed to reflect the new properly lines. In the meantime, they are ruthless - what they can do in an a mere 6-hr period is beyond belief, let alone days at a time. Locks are worthless; they even killed my dog to bypass him. If I sell, the property will be taken down with all evidence removed - it is all I have left. To run would be a mistake - I saw what happened to my friend when she tried; dead age 39. Like her, I would have no where to go anyway - I was severed from all and left unemployable as well. I now have a mortgage, but to sell and relocate would cost even more. A roommate would be ideal, however, I am so closely monitored and sabotaged it would end up like all the tenants next door - I am too far outnumbered. I need an attorney but at this point, funds are too low. It is true - I was told long ago that although "I made it further than any of the others, for me there is no way out." My family and neighbors were murdered to pull this off; attempted murder of me. It doesn't matter that I have proof of what was done or how the City of Fresno set us up then committed perjury to deny what took place, when there is no one to report it to. They and their mob are getting by with this - I am nothing more than a mere inconvenience to them. That is why they won't even pay restitution for what they did - it is easier to eliminate. The merely cover up the crimes and turn any witnesses / survivors into the criminal / shark bait. I am hanging on to the knot at the end of my rope.

Hey "The" Marla!  Just a suggestion but, someone like you who knows about and digs up all kinds of stuff on this particular subject should post your own commentary once in a while. Just to help us better-understand the context, where you're coming from, and what you think it means for me and you. There are so many individual issues that none of us could ever hope to know everything, or keep up with everybody else's shit. Besides, giving a regular update about your view of the big picture is like bumping your own thread.  PS - Thanks for the shit you post!

Maybe if I realized the bigger picture when I first began to pursue this, I would have never stepped into such a mess. But I did achieve what I was after - the motive behind the murders of my family and so many others. Unfortunately, the more I uncovered, the worse things became for me. I am now drained and no better off than I was when I began. At this point, all I can do is present evidence of CA's water shortage being planned 50 yrs ago. My opinions mean nothing. I know I leave too much confusing information in my blogs. (Believe it or not it used to be much worse! Ha!) I guess I want to make sure it is all left behind. Someday, it will be looked into. It will all make sense and fall into place. This nightmare needs to be taken over by someone else. I never was successful in finding that "someone else." But in my attempt to do so, I did learn that many of those who complain the worst, creating documentaries and/or carrying on about their grief over this water shortage, are not who/what they appear to be. The last thing they allow is evidence of a CREATED water shortage. They are more performers/actors who make the *real* victims believe that there are people who are fighting for them. That way, the *real* victims don't become involved. This is an ongoing tragedy.

Hey Marla, you around? Wondering if you or anyone around happened to go to the Hannity show taping outside Huron Thursday. I caught it on TV and it was hyped by all the local news stations so I was wondering if anyone has any personal anecdotes from being there. From the looks of it, it looked like a mini tea party. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFJfviDPVrc

Plans are currently underway for the WORLD'S LARGEST SOLAR FARM to be built in the Fresno area. It will occupy thousands of acres.

So I admit being a bit confused as to why our farmers are going without water, as plans for all of this continue. Where will the water be coming from for these solar farms? Is this needed for all the upcoming casinos? Take a look at my page to see what has been done to the city in order to secretly replace the water system over the past 50 yrs. According to the mastermind and his associate, this is behind secret water diversion. (Also done to other cities - public records altered to cover up the evidence.) http://www.myspace.com/marlalk4Then look at this U-Tube: U-Tube: CA Drought and Solar Farms http://www.youtube.com/v/R30XmhyZgB0

Hi, Luckee. This scenario appears to be another missing piece to the puzzle, which I have repeatedly added to my blogs over the years, easily verified. Back in 2001, when Wilbert Swieso gave me a tour of the area where our water is being diverted, he repeatedly said that his son, a licensed plumber, was going to be a millionaire in the SOLAR BUSINESS due to the 50 yrs daddy invested into the secret water project. He said it was something so HUGE that the public had not yet heard about it. If he was referring to the new solar farms, which there can be little doubt of, that would mean the solar farms were planned even earlier than 2001. It would also mean that the 50-yr secret replacement of the water system aka: water diversion is linked directly to the solar farms. (And the new casinos, per Swieso's partner.) The video specifically mentions Pacific Gas & Electric - that is right here in Fresno, CA. It all comes full circle. See more links in today's blog: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=403660013&blogId=511984443

There is more to this, such as upcoming major development as CA becomes the next "gambling capital of the U.S."
The 50-yr secret water diversion operation is at the core of all this, which is why it continues to be covered up.

Solar panels require water to run. So I admit being a bit confused as to why our farmers are going without water, as plans for all of this continue. Yes, this seems to be the secret, depending on the solar technology that is used, older (current?) designs use as much water as a nuke plant.... as a reference: http://thephoenixsun.com/archives/4030Solar farms that sip desert water Friday, July 17, 2009 Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) gets a bad rap from desert dwellers. First, there’s the concern over disturbing some of our wildest areas to build sprawling solar farms. Many object to how the giant sites can ruin their view of the desert. But the biggest concern is over what these lands possess in minute amounts. “Water usage is becoming the larger issue,” a lawyer for one solar power company told a reporter in April. Depending on the design, CSP can use up to 750,000 gallons of water for each GWh of electrical production (roughly the same as a comparable coal or nuclear power plant).That’s one reason for the buzz created by a CSP system that was recently unveiled at the Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The SunCatcher™ is a game changer.The modular unit uses zero gallons of water for cooling, and only a small amount for washing dust from its highly polished mirrors. Each unit consists of 40 polished steel mirrors formed into a parabolic dish to concentrate solar energy. That energy powers a Stirling hydrogen engine which results in electrical generation. Not only does this design sip water, it is also the most efficient solar technology for producing electricity (pdf). In 2008, an earlier version of the Suncatcher™ set a record of 31.25 percent net efficiency.Water Usage and Electrical GenerationAlthough CSP has recently received a lot of negative attention for using large amounts of water, the problem is not limited to solar farms.“Dominated by coal and gas fired steam generating plants,” writes Gary Deason, deputy director of the Center for Sustainable Environments at Northern Arizona University, “electrical generation in the Intermountain West consumes over 650 million gallons of water per day…”That’s enough to meet the water usage of the entire state of Colorado. And that’s with virtually no water being used currently for large-scale CSP farms. CSP facilities in Europe rely on a design that is water intensive. That’s controversial enough across the pond. But to many in the American Southwest, which is defined largely by its lack of water, the plan to locate water hogs to generate electricity seems downright absurd. Water law expert Robert Glennon recently wrote a controversial piece on this topic for the Washington Post. It was titled, “Is Solar Power Dead in the Water?”The new SunCatcher™ has another factor going for it: jobs. Many of which will come from the downsized auto industry. The large steel mirrors (and many other parts) will be produced by the auto industry. As Stirling Energy Systems CEO, Steve Cowen recently explained, “By utilizing the automotive supply chain to manufacture the SunCatcher™, we’re leveraging the talents of an industry that has refined high-volume production through an assembly line process. More than 90 percent of the SunCatcher™ components will be manufactured in North America.”Preparations are underway to begin building a demonstration facility in the Arizona desert in September. Sixty of the new dishes will have a capacity of 1.5 MW. In the next few years, Stirling and its sister company, Tessera, have plans to increase their total capacity to 1.6 GW, from 65,000 SunCatcher™ units. That’s not a huge amount of electricity, perhaps. It points, however, to an ever brighter future for zero emission, clean and renewable energy — that does not deplete other critical resources such as water. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/sep/18/dirty-detail-solar-panels-need-water/Dirty detail: Solar panels need water How much is the question, as developers downplay frequency of cleanings By Stephanie Tavares (contact) Friday, Sept. 18, 2009 | 2 a.m. Southern Nevada may pose more of a dirty little problem for some solar plant developers than they realize or are letting on. Solar photovoltaic developers say not to worry about how much water their plants will use because they need only enough water to run the office bathrooms and wash the arrays of panels a couple of times a year. But people who live near proposed plants or maintain solar panels in the desert guffaw at that last bit and are willing to bet the panels will need to be hosed down more frequently. Dust on solar panels can decrease their efficiency by about 3 percent, solar photovoltaic experts said. The larger the solar array, the more electricity lost. “On a home that doesn’t mean much of anything, but on a huge solar power plant that could mean real money,” said Nevada solar panel installer Chris Brooks, director of renewable energy for Bombard Electric. Most photovoltaic arrays are cleaned with tap water sprayed with a hose or from a water truck. So solar array managers have to add in the cost of labor, truck rental and gasoline. In a water-starved desert, the additional consideration is how much of the region’s most critical natural resource will wind up evaporating or dripping into the desert. Solar photovoltaic developers say their plants don’t use much water, but “much” is relative. True, they use a fraction of what a water-cooled solar thermal power plant consumes annually — about a 16,689 gallons per megawatt for photovoltaics compared with 2.61 million gallons per megawatt for wet-cooled solar thermal — but a large photovoltaic array can still easily use more water in a year than an entire residential block. The array planned for Primm, for example, is expected to annually require at least as much water as 10.5 average Las Vegas households. NexLight North and NexLight South, which have been combined in the first industrial-scale solar photovoltaic array planned the Bureau of Land Management land in Nevada, would need to truck in about 6.8 million gallons of water a year, developers reported in planning documents. That’s enough, they say, to clean the thousands of acres of solar panels about twice a year. Although that is the industry standard for washing large arrays of solar panels, few large solar arrays in the Mojave get away with so few cleanings. UNLV’s photovoltaic arrays are washed about monthly. NV Energy washes the panels at the Clark Generating Station about four times a year. Other NV Energy owned solar panels are washed three times a year. When NexLight disclosed plans for biannual cleanings at BLM scoping meetings, locals scoffed. If the dust on the cars in the parking lot was any indication, the developers would be cleaning those panels a lot more than twice a year. The dust in the Ivanpah Valley can be brutal under normal circumstances, residents said. But the area is also a popular spot for large multiday off-road races that can stir up even more dust. The NexLight plants are planned smack dab in the middle of a popular off-road raceway, which the company proposes rerouting around the solar plant. Just washing the panels more often is not the easy solution it sounds like. If the increase in electrical output won’t generate more money than it costs to wash the panels, they can just stay dirty. “Efficiency does drop off with time,” said Bob Boehm, director of UNLV’s Center for Energy Research. “But you really have to balance the loss in efficiency from the dust with the cost of the water and labor.” So solar array managers try to keep the panels cleanest when the solar panels are operating at maximum efficiency in the long days of spring and summer. Unfortunately, that’s when demand for water is the highest, putting even more strain on a scarce resource. When they can, operators of solar arrays let Mother Nature do the work for them. Though Southern Nevada gets only about 4 inches of rain in a good year, the weather is relatively predictable. That gives solar array managers time to get the panels ready for cloudy weather and, they hope, a free cleaning. That preparation is a must. Cold water on a very hot solar panel usually means shattered glass, so managers have to power down arrays well before either a cleaning or rainfall. If the storm produces rain that falls in a torrent, they’ve hit the jackpot. “A really good rainstorm means you don’t need to worry about washing your panels for a while,” Boehm said. “But if you get this typical Las Vegas rainstorm with tons of wind and dust and forty-five drops of rain, that’s the worst kind of thing. It just plasters the dirt to the panel.”

I think with this information, you now have the smoking gun kiddo! See if there is an association between Autry, Arnie hitler, and these solar companies and or casinos.

Let's see now. Arnie is referred to as a Nazi. Who is linked to the late John Bonadelle (largest developer in the county), who was convicted of conspiring with the City of Fresno in development fraud. Who is linked to Swieso, a former employee of the City of Fresno who refers to himself as Hitler, claiming this water diversion operation to be the continuation of Bonadelle. Swieso is also linked to former Mayor Autry who he refers to as "another puppet." Autry was a grand "puppet" as he had his risk analysts, who set my neighbors and me up for annihilation in order to secretly replace the water system, commit perjury to call me a "liar" about the atrocities that took place including the reconstruction of all these properties on top of the new water system, verified on the City's own records! With a fine cast like this, can we expect Obama next, since this group has asked him to drop all his other important issues and come to Fresno to verify we have a "water shortage?" Added to Mr. America and Bubba Skinner, what a grandiose performance it would be. I may have the smoking gun but I shot my rounds long ago. (Did I say that right?  ) Don't forget, in addition to the elimination of my family and neighbors in order to take our properties by fraud and have them rebuilt on top of the secretly replaced water system, I was being set up for my final departure as well. That entailed poisoning and total destruction of my credibility. In addition to the city's Restraining Order, followed by death threats and sexual harassment, their group has continued to keep me closely monitored and sabotaged ~ I cannot get beyond them.

Follow the money. Those solar and casino companies have lists of investors. See if any of your major players have a vested interest in this.
Take your self and your family out of the formula for a few minutes, and look at the bigger picture. It is that picture and proofs you need to make your case. The taking of lives will be the coup de grace of the whole case.

Water Wars: Colossal Land Grab by the UN and the Fedshttp://www.infowars.com/water-wars-colossal-land-grab-by-the-un-and-the-feds/Cassandra Anderson Infowars September 30, 2009 The Federal government, influenced by the United Nations, is stealing American land and resources as Agenda 21 Sustainable Development is implemented in all states. Sustainable Development seems appealing and desirable on the surface, but it is actually a plot to erase humans entirely from 50% of American land, with a ban on extraction of resources, like water! Dr. Michael Coffman, the creator of the Agenda 21 map, covertly obtained secret United Nations documents he used to compile the map which illustrates the resource acquisition goals of the Globalists at the UN. While Sustainable Development appears to be benign, its accompanying Global Biodiversity Assessment report states that only one billion people can be sustained in an industrial society! Agenda 21 “biological diversity” mapAn example of this is playing out right now in California, regarding the man made drought. This situation affects every American, as California’s Central Valley supplies our country with 50% of its vegetable, fruits and nuts ( http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/, see the California Agricultural Statistical Review report). The federal Endangered Species Act, regarding the ‘threatened’ smelt minnow, is being used to severly restrict the water pump that delivers water from the Delta to the Central Valley farmlands, thus creating the drought condition. Both the federal Department of Interior and the federal Department of Commerce are claiming jurisdiction in order to control water resources. California’s water usage is divided as follows: 48 % Environmental (federally regulated) 41 % Agricultural 11 % Urban Interestingly, the subagencies of these two federal agencies that supplied the biological opinions are influenced by the United Nations. The UN was created in 1945, and the following year, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) was created by the UN to act as a scientific advisor. The US Fish and Wildlife Service, a subagency of the Department of Interior, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Marine Fisheries Service, subagencies of the Department of Commerce, are memebers of the IUCN, and supplied the biological opinions. There are many lawsuits disputing the validity of these opinions. The UN’s scientific advisor, the IUCN also counts the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) as a memeber. The NRDC is the lead Plaintiff in compelling the water cut off. It is important to note that the NRDC has a budget of $87 million dollars, and is funded by the “philanthropic” Ford Foundation. You can check out their website to see the bills they are promoting for ’sustainablility’, like the Clean Water Restoration Act (S787), which could put all water under federal contol, the Law of Sea Treaty that would give the UN incredible power over American marine waterways and the Global Warming Cap and Trade bill. Further, this is an example of the “global to local” battle combining governmental and non governmental agencies to accomplish the objectives of Agenda 21, per Sustainable Development and legal expert Michael Shaw. The IUCN has many NGO’s as members including the Sierra Club, the Nature Conservancy, the National Wildlife Federation and the National Audubon Society. Most people do want to support natural flora and fauna, but it is false environmentalism when the underlying intention is mass depopulation. The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is an abomination, according to Michael Shaw, as it opens the door for federal authority over State sovereignty. The US Constitution grants the federal government no authority over wildlife! Under the Constitution, States have jurisdiction over essentially all land. Beginning in 1900, federal officials operating under the ‘commerce clause’ enforced federal law to gain authority over certain poaching activities. The adoption of the initial Endangered Species Act was in the 1940’s and the current Endangered Species Act of 1973 is based on a United Nations model! The Department of Interior is now in charge of listing species that they deem endangered or threatened- imagine the power in that. The dubious biological opinions have caused massive resource loss and economic upheaval. For instance, just this year alone, the water restrictions on the Delta have spilled over 600,000 acre feet of usable water into the Pacific Ocean! Another example of federal intervention, according to Mike Henry at www.farmwater.org, is the Central Valley Project Improvement Act of 1992, which reduces water delivery or export by 1.2 million acre feet of water each year! Even when California has wet years, the amount of water allowed for delivery is still reduced by 1.2 million acres of water, despite the existence of more water; the amount delivered is based on contracts, not the water level, and the excess water flows into the Pacific. There is even more federal intervention with the CW Jones pump that was built by the federal government. The pump will be paid off by 2030, yet the federal Bureau of Reclamation under the Department of Interior will still own and maintain it. It’s time to assert the 10th Amendment. Michael Shaw encourages people to educate themselves, their communities and their state and local governments. You can find out more at his great website that also contains free downloadable information at www.freedomadvocates.org. Thanks to Dr. Michael Coffman, president of Sovereignty International at www.sovereignty.net and Mike Henry of www.farmwater.org.

Did anyone see the Daily Show's semi-hit piece on the valley water story last night? It was right before Ron Paul come out. Part of it was to make Hannity look bad for grandstanding out here like he's actually concerned, but he used a straw man's argument to make the case that govt created the ag land in the '30's, they can take it away if need be.
And all these pretend lefties that watch the show just laugh and nod and seem to agree that it's fine to drain and destroy the farms for the sake of a land grab.

Strange Development.
In the San Francisco Chronicle, front page announces a "deal" to raze 4 dams. Why? This is ridding of needed reservoirs?
Love, e

Okay, Luckee ~ good idea to find investor connections between solar farms and casinos. And thanks for the advice to leave my personal issues out of this ~ I repeatedly find myself wrapped up and nearly paralyzed with all of that. I must set it aside in order to see what is in front of me. Great article you found. I see it mentions depopulation, which should be expected when creating a water and food shortage situation. I don't want to believe this is happening but with everything else going on around us, it is clear that we may be headed in that direction. I'm going to post that article in a blog as well. In the meantime, how is this for starters ..... "The Bureau of Land Management currently has over 60 pending applications for proposed solar projects in California." 4/29/09 http://blogs.uscannenberg.org/news21/spring09/2009/04/solar-and-water.htmlSchwarzenegger and Obama are linked to Bureau of Land Management regarding solar: "Both President Barack Obama and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger have set high targets for renewable production. The President calls for doubling renewable energy production in three years. The Governor has set a 33% target for California's utilities to generate electricity from renewable sources by 2020." http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/prog/energy.1.html (2009) QUESTION: Doesn't the Bureau of Land Management also oversee the land where these upcoming casinos have been approved? At any rate, here is the connection between casinos and WINSLOW (who is Swieso's partner in secret water diversion) Caesars to Develop and Manage California Casino with Big Sandy Band of Western Mono Indians. http://www.allbusiness.com/food-beverage/restaurants-food-service-restaurants/5571792-1.html 2/18/04 ===> Big Sandy Band of Western Mono Indians = Mono Hot Springs Resort, owner, JEFFRY C. WINSLOW! EXTRA - just to show that CA casinos were being approved by Schwarzenegger back in 2004. No doubt plans were much sooner, due to the hints by Winslow and Swieso. Gambling Expected to Grow in California 10/12/04 http://www.casinocitytimes.com/news/article/gambling-expected-to-grow-in-california-145859?contentID=145859California on Path to Become Nation's Gambling Capital 08/25/04 http://www.vegastripping.com/news/news.php?news_id=62No wonder Obama may come to Fresno to verify we have a "water shortage." It is all part of the bigger picture. CA is going to become the next Las Vegas, powered by solar. Thousands upon thousands of acres of farm land needed for these solar farms, as well as water to run them, so OUT with the farmers. The evidence of 50 yrs planning for this "water shortage" for upcoming development is beneath all the reconstruction and altered records that I have been carrying on about. It has still not been looked into ~ because it would/will result in mass hysteria and lawsuits. Therefore, I especially hope it is exposed before the Gov't shuts down and gets by with this. Tah dahhhhh!!!! Do we make a great team of investigators or what.

No Hardrain, I did not see it. But speaking of Hannity, I saw the bashing he got from a local news journalist. A news journalist who appears to be linked to the group behind the secret water diversion. To me, his tirade sounded more like panic. Or was it more chaos to keep the public confused and the focus off where it shoud be ~ the horrendous destruction of this entire city in order to secretly replace the water system for secret WATER DIVERSION.

Welcome back, Egypt. I have missed you. You are the person who started this topic - you and Luckee took me under your wings when I was a scared, brand new *newbie* and just as I took off, you left! I always wondered why.
Anyhow, I have not yet read about the dams and even if I did, I would not know enough to even comment. I am very limited ~ still carrying on that if the secret replacement of the water system was addressed, the truth would unfold. That is why it remains covered up.

It is letters like the one below that make me wonder if President Obama is even aware of the truth about CA's water shortage. Unless he was told that 50 yrs had been invested into secretly rebuilding cities on top of a new water system with intent to re-direct the water, WHICH THERE IS NO RECORD OF because they have been altered to cover up the evidence, how could he know. He may very well be nothing more than another pawn, which is exactly how this group operates.  Email: ===> flag@whitehouse.gov
