In Detroit, the city is cutting off water to residents who are months
delinquent on paying their bills. In California, water is being cut off
by various levels of government because there is less and less of it to
go around.
As reported by CBS Sacramento, some communities like the city
of Mountain House are just days away from running out of water
altogether – after the state cut off the only source of water residents
there had.
That has led some locals to being sort of stockpiling drinking water
just to have enough to live on, something most never thought they would
have to do.
“My wife thinks I’m nuts. I have like 500 gallons of drinking water
stored in my home,” Mountain House resident Anthony Gordon told the
local CBS affiliate.
As the affiliate further reported:
The upscale community of Mountain House, west of Tracy, is days
away from having no water. It’s not just about lawns—there may not be a
drop for the 15,000 residents to drink.
“We’re out there looking for water supplies as we speak,” said
Mountain House general manager Ed Pattison. “We have storage tanks, but
those are basically just to ensure the correct pressurization of the
distribution system. No more than 2 days are in those storage tanks.”
Overturning a century’s worth of water rights – something has to give
The suburb’s only source of the valuable commodity, from the
Byron-Bethany Irrigation District, was one of 114 senior water rights
holders eclipsed by a curtailment notice issued by the state in recent
days.
That means the community’s leaders have to find someone to sell them water – to at least have enough, the GM says, to last the remainder of this year.
“We don’t want this town to become a ghost town, it was a beautiful master-planned community,” he said.
So were scores of other California
communities all over the state, but with more than 38 million residents
trying to survive a historic drought – all while attempting to sustain
the California agriculture industry, which produces more food for the
country than any other state – something’s going to have to give.
Some water districts think legal action is the answer. They plan to
sue the State Water Resources Control Board on grounds that it has no
legal authority to cut off some of the state’s oldest and most protected
water rights holders.
That decision has put communities like Mountain House in the
unprecedented position of having to secure water from a different
source. The town’s leaders say they believe they’ll be able to purchase
water but only for the short-term.
Meantime, others are viewing California’s worsening drought as more
of an overpopulation problem: too many people, too little water and too
many competing interests that depend on it (agriculture being the
primary interest).
Some of them are longtime depopulationists, like Professor John Schellnhuber. As reported by Natural News editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger:
Professor John Schellnhuber has been chosen as a speaker for the
Vatican’s rolling out of a Papal document on climate change. He’s the
professor who previously said the planet is overpopulated by at least
six billion people. Now, the Vatican is giving him a platform which many
expect will result in an official Church declaration in support of
radical depopulation in the name of “climate science.”
A new hybrid religion?
Adams notes that Schellnhuber envisions a “Planetary Court” guided by
a new “Earth Constitution” which would hold power over every nation and
government on the planet. As he explains himself in this document on HumansandNature.org, he’s an advocate of an all-powerful world government that uses so-called climate science to manage
(rule over) the planet… a literal “science dictatorship” based on
whatever “science” the climate change proponents can cobble together
each year.
And now, it seems, a convergence between radical science extremism and one of the world’s largest religious groups has taken place – a sort of hybrid new religion combining God and Mother Nature. Ironically, the fewer members of this religion, the better.
