I have been following the efforts by the federal corporation that operates under fraud as the “federal government”, especially in the area of water. Water rights, water access and water availability are seriously threatened by both factions of the political crime syndicate that is the federal corporation a.k.a., “the Federal Government”. There is no such entity, only a massive and hostile corporation that is foreign and hostile to the states.
At issue now is our water.
Why ownership of the water is an issue
This last year saw the latest attempts to pass the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST). LOST requires that all waters from any source whatsoever be under the jurisdiction of the federal corporation, otherwise the LOST treaty has limited or no effect.
As the LOST treaty has again failed to pass, as have successive attempts to legislate water to bring it under federal corporate control, congress tried to quietly ship the redefining of “navigable waters” into “Waters of America” over to the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA is a privately owned, for profit, corporation wholly owned by the federal corporation. It is not a cabinet agency and is not part of the federal corporation that acts as the government.
The chronic attempts to redefine water ownership and control is hyped with the mantra that we are running out of water; that water is critically in short supply or is being misused because the federal corporation lacks control over all water from any source. With this in mind, one has to ask,
“Why would you blow out 26,000 dams across the country and allow 70 to 80% of available water to flow unused and unsaved, out to sea?”
Rather than rebuilding or strengthening existing dams that hold back billions of gallons of potable water for use, the Army Corps of Engineers is planning on blowing them out of existence. Cheered on by the lunatic fringe in the environmental movement that is controlled by the UN, activists cheer as water is released from reservoirs and flows away never to be seen again, into the seas and oceans.
While environmental groups, who clearly have no ability to think things through to their logical conclusion, cheer the release of rivers and streams chanting such idiotic things as “The river is flowing free again!” it never occurs to them that they may have just cheered their own future consisting of thirst. These same idiots think that salmon populations are somehow more important than human needs. If indeed there is a decline in salmon populations the solution to that problem is far too easy to comprehend: STOP FISHING! The populations will increase.
But the issue of water is not about the salmon, or the rivers flowing free or any other environmental nonsense. It is converting all water everywhere to be under the control of the federal corporation to facilitate the LOST treaty, and to convert even simple trade into federal commerce.
Since there is in actuality no critical water shortage, one has to be created. This will be done by redefining what is federally controlled water, and, by emptying reservoirs and other water reserves. No dams will replace those blown meaning that all water in that river or stream will disappear into oblivion while your water is rationed. All of this just in time for the installation of SMART Water Meters which will drive your water bill through the roof.
And yes I am well aware of the drought that occurred this year. It isn’t a mystical happening……it isn’t some phony global warming event……they call it “weather” and it occurs with regularity. All the more reason to ask…….
“Why would they blow 26,000 dams?”
The key is in “navigation”
The following is a quote from “Lex Mercatoria” A Complete Code of Commercial Law. the original was produced in 1795, and has been updated .
Commerce is that intercourse with foreign nations, which is carried on by one country to another by means of navigation, either for the exchange of commodities or for the sale or purchase of them, through the medium of money. Commerce then has its basis in navigation and is supported by imports and exports, whereas simple trade may be transacted independent of these elements and commerce, and herein chiefly consists the difference.
At issue of course is “navigation”. In order to control and interfere in all commerce, even in simple private trade, it is necessary to redefine the meaning of navigable waters to the all inclusive “waters of America” giving the federal corporation the authority to regulate and tax all trade of any kind. It would also advance the notion that the government had the authority to force us to purchase or avoid products and services at its discretion.
This would also facilitate the terms of the LOST treaty and subject the states to foreign agreements and arbitration. It would also affect the right to commerce of individuals within the states who could now be subjected to arbitration in international courts and tribunals, simply for engaging in private trade that might be viewed as an interference of trade by foreign entities.
“Nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
This phrase is contained in the Fifth Amendment of the bill of Rights but is rendered moot by the concept of “navigational servitude”.
The power to regulate commerce is derived from the power to regulate navigation. Referred to as navigational servitude, this doctrine supposedly gives the federal government power over bodies of water on an individuals land. If your property is subject to navigational servitude, i.e, can it be navigated for reasons of commerce if you chose to?, the courts decided that no taking claims existed because the right to regulate commerce belongs to the government and superceded property rights.
From: Florida State University
Key Points:
Defined: The federal navigational servitude is an aspect of the sovereignty of the United States, grounded in the Federal Government to regulate commerce, entitling the government to exert a dominant servitude in all lands below the ordinary high water mark of navigable waters.
A navigational servitude relieves the Federal Government of the obligation to pay compensation for acts interfering with the ownership of riparian, littoral, or submerged lands.
The federal government’s dominant servitude may be asserted as a defense to a regulatory takings claim if there is a showing that the regulatory imposition was for a purpose related to navigation.
The navigational servitude does not extend beyond the high water mark.
Federal navigational servitude does not create a right to fish on private riparian land.
So why are they blowing 26,000 dams?
From the website KLAMBLOG
Second, while the parcel as a whole rule discussed above should defeat most taking claims, the federal navigation servitude can also render many takings claims inappropriate—so long as the dam is located on a navigable waterway. The servitude is a right held for the public in all navigable-for-title waters. In practical effect, it is an interest that permits the federal government to destroy private, state-recognized property rights for the benefit of public navigation without paying compensation for a taking of property.”
P.30: “Private title to submerged lands is subservient to the government’s interest in improving navigation. To require otherwise “would be to create private claims in the public domain.” The servitude applies to any government action that aids navigation. All dams in navigable waters therefore exist subordinate to the federal navigation servitude. As a result, Lucas’s background principles of property and nuisance prevent the dam owner from ever acquiring the right to obstruct a navigable water; there can be no taking of a right never possessed. Dam owners will not have a taking claim for loss of the physical dam structure so long as it is located on a navigable waterway.”
By striking the term “navigable” and replacing it with “Waters of America”, all water now comes under commerce as all water abuts or crosses land. Waters of America would allow the taking of land, land use, and commerce totally away from the states and private citizens. This also prevents a takings claim for dam owners as “navigable” will simply be replaced with waters of America. The requirement that the waterway be navigable is now moot.
So is your right to water.

2/3 of the earth is water, there is no shortage. Anyone know how to purify radioactive water? The answer is quite simple, radiation can only attach itself to mass. Therefore, seperating water into hydrogen/oxygen using DC current and then burning the gasses (which returns those gasses back into water or H2O)…This is a process that could be used to purify all water and at the same time provide for an alternative energy source. My point being, could this be a clue as to what tptb plan and/or know to be the energy source of the future? They lose control of the worlds energy needs, they lose control, period. Just a thought….

Marti,
That we got off to a bad start is without question. I also probably define ‘conspiracy theorist’ differently than you do. I’ve never considered the use of the term by those who might be engaged in a conspiracy and are just trying to deflect sound criticism. I tend to lump ‘theorists’ & ‘nuts’ together, but ‘nuts’ carries a derogatory connotation I don’t like, and I don’t see any in here – just folks who are sincerely convinded. I can see your point and why you would be upset at my use of the term. This particular communication venue leaves a lot to be desired. If we had been in the same room talking, a rocky start could have been smoothed out a bit by face-to-face dialogue and explaining of definitions.. I even understand your and others’ anger over the situation we currently have in our country. I might even be angrier than some of the contributors to this blog, given my background
.
I know there’s something going on, and ‘it ain’t pretty’! What am I to do about it? Just expose it all and not offer some sort of solution to the whole thing? It’s easy to stir folks up, and I’m not against that, but it’s harder to recommend
/
offer solutions, once you think you have the real problem isolated.
I happen to believe that the real problem is a spiritual (not religious) one and that a long term solution is also spiritual. I think I have also expressed that so I will leave it alone.
There’s a lot of information/data provided in this and other posts at this blog and I agree with much of it. The ‘way’ things are said also communicates something that always strikes me, either favorable or unfavorable. I also know we tend to ‘assume’ attitudes that are not necessarily there. Like I said, this is a tough venue for communication.

Everyone has a worldview, everyone. Understanding a person’s worldview is like undestanding the training audience for a professional instructor (I’ve been one of those too). Communication is far more effective and hindrances to communication are often taken care of before they happen.

The interests of the fish and humans are the same; clean water and plenty of it.
The best benefits of big dams can be achieved, over time, by replacing with more numerous, smaller structures – where landowners agree to them. (But Globalist policies are preventing this here in UK).
Big dams silt up and become useless in time; smaller structures can be made managed to capture silt and return to land to improve soil water infiltration & storage (this also is now banned by recent legislation).
If there is any ‘conspiracy’, of whatever type it is – it is certainly against water !
But nothing new there; been at least 5,000 years of this going on …. aridification of landscapes is a common mark of human activity since the first ‘civilizations’.

At issue: why would you blow out thousands of dams that hold back 70 to 80% of the available water for use here in the u.s. and crya bout fish populations? most dams have been in place for decades and the ecology has adjusted. the probelm is not fish populations. it is are u going to have water to drink once they let most of it flow away? creating a critical and unneccessary shortage so that every dime can be wrenched out of you so that you have water to drink. i dont give a damn about some stupid fish. it was most likely artificially planted in that waterway anyway.

… a lot of wisdom here from all respondents … the Christian perspective here is important. However, having just hosted a guest from a wholly different faith; and discussed both water and the cultural/theological perspectives – the conclusions are very broadly the same from whatever tradition these are viewed – even through to the concept of some sort of ‘End Times’. Just how literally we take these views is up to any individual; but how we address them collectively should not be so difficult.
There is a unifying principle to all the great faiths – which also underpins good environmental management – that of care ! Perhaps that is the missing element in many of these determinations.
So … when it comes to dams and water management in general, yes more care is required. And sound expertise … big dams are disruptive; but also can be highly beneficial – there is an equation here that needs be calculated of costs vs benefits; filtered through the interests of those most affected (local residents & local ecology).
Large dams can give large benefits – but also very generally incur large environmental costs; certainly some of the lowest cost electricity and often flood control/irrigation/aquifer recharge etc. Where a responsible implementation has also included measures to moderate effects (like putting in a salmon hatchery to compensate) some common sense is required.
Big dams are rarely of great economic benefit to local communities, though some will accrue. The ownership and main dividend normally returned to remote parties.
Small dams however can be a different matter; they can be owned by individuals – who will then generally circulate derived income through their local spending. They are also on the spot to better manage ecological consequences, which will be less because of smaller size. And cumulatively, a bunch of small dams can achieve the sum total benefit of any single large dam ….
For sure – large scale structures, both engineered & social, have the potential to be highly damaging. The ‘blanket’ determinations that seem to be arising out of a ‘Globalist Bureaucracy’ in league with ‘Globalist Corporations’ do seem to be potentially very damaging – primarily because they act like a blunt & dumb tool, which doesn’t adequately apply the care principle to local interests.
Not easy; all a big challenge – but the transforming principle that could just propel us into ‘Better Times’ … is more care; on every level.

I agree wholeheartedly that there is something going on in our nation and the rest of the world and it’s not good. I hold to a Christian worldview and the Biblical scenario of an end-times one-world government and all the rest.
Thanks to this post, I know that there are dams that are due for destruction and some that should probably remain in place. I don’t really know which is which because I didn’t read in detail all of the information represented in the links I posted. I just want to be as rational as possible about it all and not get carried away by anger (been there, done that and it wasn’t profitable).
Assuming for a moment that there is a global conspiracy, and I think it a likely scenario, what should we be doing about it? We can use the system to try and fix the system, we can rant and rave, we can do both, or we can sit by and do nothing. I’ll be at the ballot box, and I will remain disturbed, as an American, at what I see happening all around us. . I served for nearly 30 years in the military in combat arms and have ranted/raved a good deal over the state of the nation and the military.
As a Christian, I know that God is sovereign over all of it and accomplishing His purposes in this world for ‘the sake of His name’, and ‘so that the nations will know that He is God’. The ‘battle’ for God’s truth and sharing the good news that ‘Christ died for our sins’, is far more important than any temporal ’cause’ whether it’s to ‘save the planet’, identify the ‘Antichrist’, or anything in between. Is there something nefarious going on? Yes. Is there something more important to focus on than global conspiracies? Yes.
So that’s me, folks. I was pointed to this post by a relative. It gave me the opportunity to dig a little and learn a bit more about this issue. I probably share many of the opinions expressed in this blog, but I prefer to remain a bit calmer in the dialogue. Name-calling, pejorative language, and personal attacks don’t accomplish much.

If a river runs thru your land……that is “navigable for title” meaning the state owns it and you do not and you cannot deny the public access to that river or to the banks of the river.

Nobody has a “right” to water if it is on someone else’s land. Where did you get that from?

If you would enter “Army corp of engineers to blow thousands of dams” you will find hundreds of pages about the dams that have already been blown and those that are planned for destruction. If you think that is far fetched…..drop the Corps and ask them what they are doing?

I don’t see any dams being blown yet. It seems far-fetched; however, what is happening in CA is a shame. I think it has more to do with mismanagement and idiocy than a planned attack. CA can capture more snow melt and run off if it better managed the resources, but it does not. It protects rare canal fishes and other bizarre things while jeopordizing $37 billion ag production. On the other hand, the Delta diversion pipes eat up the salmon and striped bass and make migrations impossible. Many conflicts of interest, it seems.

Yes, we have the same processes at work here in UK – hence we swing ever more from flood to drought; while our rivers clog ever more with topsoil. None of this good for the salmon, trout or other ecology; but great for corporate interests. See :

Is it Justice to allow Mass Murderers to Print Currency and Own the Media…and operate a crackhouse called Congress ?

Yea, indeed, to control water is to control all humanity and every aspect of human activity. Most noted though, is the percentage of water which the human body consists of. So much for our power grid, as well as hydro-electric power to nuclear power.

The nation is undergoing a so-called, “water infrastructure upgrade.” In central CA, it has been proven to be a FARCE.
Former Fresno Mayor Alan Autry aka: Bubba Skinner / CA “water shortage” spokesman spent his 8-yr term lying to the public about our water system / sources – standing behind altered records and perjury to deny what is taking place. Decades of cities rebuilt on top of a secretly-replaced water system now clamped together. New dams and waterways. Water diversion, per Wilbert Swieso.
Innocent residents being annihilated to pull this off – reports and evidence prohibited. Public records are altered to match the new layouts behind this water scam, which our “officials” are using to deny all knowledge and responsibility.
Coincidence or not, this “water infrastructure upgrade” appears to accompany the escalation in water shortages.
