Klamath River Floods as Jerry Brown Set to Tear down 3000 Dams in California, starting last year

While America was distracted as 500,000 cubic feet per second of water flooded over the Oroville Dam, the Klamath River flooded in what could have been a catastrophe if Gov. Jerry Brown had already completed his funded plan to tear down four of its dams.

Reginald Kennedy, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) service hydrologist for the Eureka Station, told Breitbart News that Klamath River flood waters from heavy rains and runoff crested on February 10 at 5 a.m. at a height of 41.3 feet.
The river has since fallen back by 20 feet, due to several days of sunny skies. But NOAA expects that another Pineapple Express atmospheric storm-train beginning Wednesday evening will bring up to 2.5 inches of rain over 7 days, and will probably cause another flood.
California Governor Jerry Brown inked an agreement in April to tear down four sustainable hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River owned by PacifiCorp utility. Unable to modernize the structures due the Brown administration and environmentalist lawsuits, PacifiCorp agreed to pay a $200 million abandonment cost, and Gov. Brown grabbed $250 million from taxpayers by pushing for the passage of the $7.5 billion Proposition 1 Water Bond.
The Sacramento Bee reported Brown’s comments at a North Coast conference with the Governor of Oregon and the U.S Secretary of the Interior last year, where they agreed to tear down the four dams on the Klamath River: “This is a good exercise of humankind correcting some of the mistakes that it’s made in the past.”
But California’s North Coast counties of Mendocino, Humboldt, Trinity and Del Norte have always been susceptibility to devastating floods, property damage and deaths. That is why the Klamath River Project, built in the early 20th century, featured a system of seven dams and a network of sustainable hydroelectric power stations to slow raging flood waters.
The North Coast was hit hard in the “California Flood of 1955,” which the U.S. Geological Service called a hundred-year weather event. But the 74 deaths and $200 million in property damage that year were spread out across California’s 58 counties.
Despite the North Coast’s large investment in infrastructure, the area was the center of the “Christmas Flood of 1964,” which’ the USGS deemed a “thousand year weather event.” A series of storms that lasting from December 21, 1964 through January 7, 1965 dumped massive amounts of snow in the local mountains. The North Coast was then hit with warm rains from a Pineapple Express that melted the snow and inundated local watersheds.
The “Christmas Flood of 1964” devastated about 200,000 square miles, an area roughly the size of France. There were 47 deaths, tens of thousands were left homeless, and property damage in today’s dollars was be the equivalent of $3.9 billion.
The wildly popular then-Governor Pat Brown had been seen as a champion of building flood control lakes and dams that also provided a source of water for thirsty Southern California. At that time, California was seeing legal migration of 1,000 persons per day from other states.
But Brown had provided very little in the way of flood control infrastructure for the North Coast, and his reputation was tarnished from the scale of the devastation.
After two terms, Brown was politically crushed just two years later in the November 1966 California governor’s race by first-time candidate Ronald Reagan, who won 57 percent of the vote and defeated Brown by a stunning 1 million votes.
The un-noticed Klamath River, even with its dam system still in place, is expected to flood and potentially cause serious damage to the North Coast when the rains hit. If four of the seven dams were already torn down, the flood and destruction from the Klamath River would likely have been be epic.

Forced water cut-offs begin in California as state’s leaders start depopulation program

By J.D. Heyes | Natural News
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.

Globalist Plot to Blow Up 26,000 Dams & Takeover Water

Globalist Plot to Blow Up 26,000 Dams & Takeover Water

August 22, 2012 by ppjg

Marti Oakley © Copyright 2012 All Rights Reserved

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?”...

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...

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...

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.

Federal Land Grab Comes to California at Vail Lake: Agenda 21

Americans have become increasingly concerned about the federal government's seizure of privately-held lands and property, especially after the Cliven Bundy incident in Nevada. Now another land owner, Bill Johnson of Temecula, California, claims his property at Vail Lake, the largest privately-owned lake in California, is being threatened by the county, state, and federal governments.

Johnson purchased 11,000 acres of land in Riverside County over 17 years ago, including Vail Lake, encompassing over 1,000 square surface acres of water. Now Johnson claims various levels of government are trying to seize the property, using intimidation under the guise of environmental concerns.
Johnson told Breitbart News: "The habitat is free of any endangered species. The government just wants it because it’s part of their 'core area' due to the properties of water and enormous size."
He mentioned that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) currently manages land parcels on either side of Vail Lake.
"The EPA needed to come up with 42,000 acres in the area to 'protect' the kangaroo rats," Johnson said. "They intimated property owners into giving up their land."
Duncan Hunter, a Republican Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from California from 1981 to 2009, has known Johnson since the 1970's.
"There's a common thread between Johnson's situation and the Bundys' situation," Hunter told Breitbart News. "The heavy hand of government has played in both of those cases."
The land of over 15,000 property owners in Johnson's county was ultimately bought off by the Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP), an entity comprised of state and federal government agencies. The MSHCP told land owners that for environmental reasons, their property could not be developed, split, or farmed.
"They devalued properties," Johnson said. "The government told property owners that selling to the state would be voluntary. They said, 'If you don't sell to us, you won’t be able to sell it to anyone.' The land became worthless and devalued since you can’t farm it or build on it."
Hunter argued that the federal Endangered Species Act allows counties to bully residents into giving up their properties.
"If the government says you can’t use your property for anything, they've essentially taken your property from you," he said. "Essentially, you're not a real property owner. Then the government has the best of all worlds--they paralyze your use of the property but they still demand property tax from you."
The former congressman said that the state and local government has leverage over citizens using the federal government as an arm. The Endangered Species Act is used "as a way for local governments to build empires, employ people, and make money," Hunter said. "The federal government passed the Act, which said that an array of plants and animals are to be protected and cannot be disturbed. Some plant and animal exists almost everywhere."
He said the counties and the cities have understood the value of the Act and used it to exert power over land owners.
Jeff Stone, the Riverside County Supervisor, has also known Johnson for many years.
"Johnson is certainly not happy and I can understand that," Stone told Breitbart News. "The pendulum has swung way too far to the left with regards to the Endangered Species Act. It has impeded on some property rights, there's no question about that."
Stone mentioned, however, that the county is only enforcing federal law through the MSHCP.
He said, "Could Bill Johnson build whatever he wants without our plan? The answer is no. He would have to go to the federal government."
Stone said that the enforcement of the Endangered Species Act is particularly unfair to citizens who purchased their land before the MSHCP was put into place, such as Johnson. Buyers who purchased their land after the plan was put into place, however, purchased their land knowing it might be protected for endangered species.
"If the federal government wants to preserve the land that Johnson has had for 17 years, they should step up and buy it for market value," Stone said. "There has been an assault on property rights by the federal government. The plan was adopted prior to me being on the board. It's a plan that I have to live with, but I still have my concerns about property rights."
Currently, the BLM has control over about two-thirds of Riverside County, according to Johnson. "The county claims they need the land to protect lots of rare species," Johnson said. "But there have been studies done that that just isn't true."
The MSHCP further claims the land should be under government control, since Johnson owes $4.75 million in property taxes, penalties and interest on overdue fees. Johnson has largely refused to compensate the agencies trying to seize his property. He believes that the tax assessments would be fair if he were able to develop or farm his own land--but because the MSHCP will not allow this, his property value is substantially less.
Johnson said, "How can you pay taxes on property you can do nothing with? The government will sneer at you and say, 'It's our property. You need to pay taxes, but the property is ours in the end.' During the 17 years that I've owned Vail Lake, I have not built one single thing on the property. The minute I bought my land, they started taking all my rights away. They stripped the zoning, general plan, and specific plan for the property and open space designation, depriving it of its value."
Stone added, "Johnson could make the argument: I am paying property taxes on land that I cannot maximize for my own benefit--why should I pay taxes on land that I cannot develop? I think he makes a valid argument there, but the laws are the laws."
A California-based spokesman from the BLM told Breitbart Texas that the agency has a thorough process for determining which lands it ultimately chooses to manage.
"We start with a public scoping period," the spokesman told Breitbart Texas. "We engage the public in telling us the issues they want us to address--we also address stakeholder groups like environmental groups. Those people are all engaged in the process. We then develop draft plans and environmental impact statements, which go out for public review and comment."
He mentioned that the BLM is only able to seize privately-owned land from a third party. The spokesman said, "Sometimes a third party will purchase that land from willing sellers, then they transfer that land to BLM to become [federal] public land."
In many cases, state or local authorities like the MSHCP act as the "third party," and leave home owners very little choice but to sell by barring their land from being developed. MSHCP then hands the land over to the BLM, which currently controls both plots of land bordering Vail Lake.
Breitbart News made multiple attempts to reach out to the MSHCP. Although a representative did not return phone calls, explanatory information is accessible on the entity's website. 500,000 acres of land in Riverside County was "designated for preservation" to protect certain species.
"About 69% or 347,000 acres was already public or quasi-public land when RCA was formed in 2004," the MSHCP website states. "This land forms the core of the habitat conservation plan. RCA’s work focuses on the remaining 153,000 acres needed to fulfill the plan’s requirements and is expected to take at least 25 years. To date, 27% of the remaining goal of 153,000 acres has been acquired."
That remaining land will likely be taken from private citizens in the county, like Johnson.
Johnson is no stranger to government land grabs. In 1995, the County, along with help from federal agents, seized his 2,000 acre ranch on the Santa Rosa Plateau. Johnson said he lost over $18 million on the property, which the county claims to have seized to protect the endangered kangaroo rat.
Johnson said people in his county, and indeed across the U.S., are becoming concerned about the growing government power over land rights. "There is a growing understanding that this is wrong," Johnson said. "Everyone understands, even some of the environmental advocates, that this has spun out-of-control."
Hunter added that Johnson's case is "a real point of principle. When property rights are discretionary, and a government entity has the power to take it from you, then the danger of political corruption and manipulation of property rights becomes very real."

Bundy Ranch - Sen. Harry Reid and his 5 Billion Chinese Solar Panel

THE TRUTH .about the desert tortoise...it's not local to the region TO BEGIN WITH!!!

Agenda 21 Fascism and western ranchers, property owners, et al...

The federal government’s over-the-top police action against the Bundy family ranch is an ominous portent of more to come, as rogue agencies and their corporate/NGO partners attempt to “cleanse” the West of ranchers, farmers, miners, loggers, and other determined property owners.
On Saturday, April 12, the federal bureaucrats backed down. Faced with hundreds of men and women on horseback and on foot who were armed with firearms and video cameras — as well as local television broadcast stations and independent media streaming live video and radio feeds across America — the Obama administration called off the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) operation to confiscate hundreds of cattle belonging to Cliven Bundy, the current patriarch of a respected pioneer family that has been ranching in Nevada’s Clark County since the 1800s.
Supporters from all across the United States had converged on the Bunkerville, Nevada, area in support of Bundy, who is the “last rancher standing” in Clark County, due to a decades-long campaign by federal agencies and allied environ-activists to drive all ranchers off of the range. After a tense standoff, orders came down from above for the surrounded and outnumbered federal agents to “stand down” and turn loose the Bundy cattle that had been corralled.

On Saturday, before the resolution of the standoff, The New American talked to Richard Mack, the former sheriff of Graham County, Arizona, and founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA), as he headed from a meeting of public officials to a press conference at the Bundy Ranch. He was very grave and worried at the time that the situation could spin out of control, and that federal agents might open fire on citizens. He also expressed his exasperation at Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval and Clark County Sheriff Douglass Gillespie. “If Governor Sandoval and Sheriff Gillespie were doing the jobs they were elected to do, they would have stopped this from getting to a dangerous point,” Sheriff Mack said. “There are lots of things they could have done to defuse this situation, including telling the Feds to ‘stand down,’ and to assert their own jurisdiction and force the federal authorities to obey the law, including the Constitution and the laws of the state of Nevada,” he noted. “I have a very bad feeling about this,” he continued, adding that he hoped the tensions would be deescalated and a peaceful outcome negotiated.

Fortunately, most likely due to the national attention that the Bundy situation was receiving, federal officials backed off, the demonstrators and supporters remained peaceful, and a violent confrontation was averted. However, that does not end the affair. Members of the Bundy family and supporters, such as Sheriff Mack, expressed concerns that the evacuation of the federal police force might be a feint, and that there may be plans for them to return the following day, or as soon as the supporters and television crews had departed.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, whose personal financial stake in the Bundy eviction has been called into question, let it be known that he wants to see the matter pursued.

“Well, it’s not over,” Reid told NBC’s Nevada affiliate KRNV on Monday, April 14. “We can’t have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it’s not over.”
Senator Reid, Nevada’s senior senator, is very incensed when the American people, i.e., ordinary citizens, “violate the law” — as he puts it — but he says nothing about the more serious violations of the laws and the Constitution by public officials, such as himself or the BLM officials.
This is the same federal BLM that Chief Judge Robert C. Jones of the Federal District Court of Nevada last year ruled had been engaged in a decades-long criminal “conspiracy” against the Wayne Hage family, fellow ranchers and friends of the Bundys. Among other things, Judge Jones accused the federal bureaucrats of racketeering under the federal RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corruption Organizations) statute, and accused them as well of extortion, mail fraud, and fraud, in an effort “to kill the business of Mr. Hage.” In fact, the government’s actions were so malicious, said the judge, as to “shock the conscience of the Court.” Judge Jones granted an injunction against the agencies and referred area BLM and Forest Service managers to the Justice Department for prosecution.

Has Attorney General Eric Holder prosecuted any federal officials for criminal activity and violation of the Hage family’s constitutionally protected rights? No. Has Sen. Harry Reid denounced this lawlessness and criminal activity by government officials and call upon President Obama and Attorney General Holder to protect the citizens of his state from the depredations of federal officials under their command? No.

Huge Federal Footprint: And a Boot on Every Neck
With attitudes such as those expressed above by Sen. Harry Reid, it is almost a certainty that the recently defused Bundy Ranch standoff will be replayed again — and in the not-too-distant future. And the outcome could be much less amicable for all concerned.

And this is but one of many incidents that can be expected, because the Bundy family are not the only victims in the federal cross hairs. The BLM, U.S. Forest Service (USFS), National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and other federal agencies own and/or control hundreds of millions of acres of the 12 western states. The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is not as large a landlord as some of these bigger agencies, but it exercises enormous regulatory clout over both private and public lands, air, and water. And while the EPA’s draconian, arbitrary, and costly regulations affect the entire country, they fall especially hard on the states in the West, where the federal impact is already massive due to the outsized footprint of the federal agencies.

As the accompanying map graphically demonstrates, there is a striking difference between the federal government’s claim to physical real estate in the states of East and the Midwest versus those of the West. In Maine, for instance, federal agencies occupy only 1.1 percent of the state’s land area; in New York it’s a mere 0.8 percent. The federal government claims only 1.8 percent of Indiana, 1.6 percent of Alabama, and 1.7 percent of Ohio. But in the Western states, the federal footprint covers from nearly one-third to over four-fifths of the area of the states.
Here are the ugly facts of the federal government’s ownership of the lands in the Western states:
Nevada: 84.5 percent
Alaska: 69.1 percent
Utah: 57.4 percent
Oregon: 53.1 percent
Idaho: 50.2 percent
Arizona: 48.1 percent
California: 45.3 percent
Wyoming: 42.4 percent
New Mexico: 41.8 percent
Colorado: 36.6 percent
Washington: 30.3 percent
Montana: 29.9 percent
These and many more relevant statistics can be found in Federal Real Property Report for Fiscal Year 2012 (the latest available) from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). For instance, in addition to its enormous real estate portfolio, the U.S. Department of Interior (home to BLM, NPS, USFWS) boasts 43,554 buildings covering more than 107.1 million square feet. These agencies, together with the Forest Service, exercise an enormous — and harmful — impact on the economies, livelihoods, and politics of the Western states. And, contrary to the claims of the federal advocates, federal policies are also taking a devastating toll on the environment of the West, most especially as manifested in the destruction of millions of acres of national forests through mismanagement, which has led to immense insect infestations and super-nova wildfires.
Yet, President Obama is following the example of his predecessors and unconstitutionally taking millions more acres in the Western states, under the pretext of protecting “endangered species.” (See: “Specious Endangerment: Obama Awards Spotted Owls 9.6 Million Acres” and “Obama Using ‘Endangered’ Species to Kill Economy, Push Extreme Agenda.”)

Because this has been the “normal” status of things for generations, the enormity and significance of this picture often passes unnoticed and unconsidered by most Americans. But in our current economic crisis, and with mounting friction caused by imperial edicts emanating from federal agencies, many citizens and state and local governments are being forced to reevaluate our unbalanced federal relationship.
Our Founding Fathers did not intend for new territories that would be admitted to statehood in the future to be unfairly shackled by the central government; they would not have countenanced that the people of Nevada, Utah, Idaho, and Alaska, for instance, would be groveling under the thumbs of politicians from New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. As Joe Wolverton noted in a recent article for The New American, they intended for future states to be admitted into the Union on a “equal footing” with the existing states. They most certainly did not intend for politicians of the Eastern states and federal bureaucrats to enjoy a stranglehold on the lifeblood of the people of the Western states.

And as those politicians and bureaucrats continue to tighten their choke hold on the people who own and work the land, there will inevitably be conflict. Even peaceful, law-abiding people will not stand idly by while their own life’s work and that of their forebears is being taken by lawless officials. The solution is for the American public to put pressure on all their elected officials — state, local, and federal — to stop strangling our fellow citizens. Ultimately, that means decentralizing, and dramatically downsizing (and then abolishing) many of these agencies and returning the land to the states and the people. The people of the Western states must be allowed to determine their own futures, to enjoy the blessings of liberty, just as Americans in all the other states have experienced.
