Water Wars: Colossal Land Grab by the UN and the Feds

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!

An 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
