Alex Jones: [9:47] We also have some reports I want to integrate together with the last few weeks that we have heard FOX News, Glenn Beck and others, talking about Agenda 21 and the global standardization of laws with carbon taxes and international zoning, through Federal zoning, and these rural councils that are being set up to basically pressure people off their land. The premises ID, the animal ID, the Food Safety Act, all lobbied for by multi-national Big Agra to openly shut down their competition. I thought I would get into the rest of the story, coming up later in the broadcast. Either when Bob Chapman is on with us or in the second half of the second hour. Senator Mike Gravel is joining us on new 9/11 Truth developments. Former U.S. Senator and Presidential candidate Mike Gravel is going to be popping in at the start of the next hour after Webster Tarpley joins us, and of course our weekly visit with Bob Chapman will be a smorgasbord of important news, intelligence, and all of that is coming up on the broadcast today. Now, continuing here, back to the Agenda 21 stuff, there is an article out of American Thinker that is very well documented. "The Purposeful Flooding of America's Heartland." And it gets into --[Editor's Note, Jones starts reading several paragraphs into this article, I have inserted his additions in brackets]:

[Jones starts reading the article here:]

...This year, despite more than double the usual amount of mountain and high plains snowpack (and the ever-present risk of strong spring storms), the true believers in the [Army] Corps [of Engineers] have persisted in following the revised MWCM, recklessly endangering millions of residents downstream.

Jones: So they didn't early on allow the floodgates to be opened on these highland lakes and mountain lakes. They let it build up and then once the spring storms came, they released it all at once. [Back to reading]

Missouri Senator Roy Blunt agrees, calling the management plan "flawed" and "poorly thought out." [Jones: No, it is not poorly thought out] Sen. Blunt characterized the current flooding as "entirely preventable" and told reporters that he intends to force changes to the plan...

...Greg Pavelka, a wildlife biologist with the Corps of Engineers in Yankton, SD, told the Seattle Times that this event will leave the river in a "much more natural state than it has seen in decades"

Jones: And they have links to all this. So this is about, not -- see, they openly with the re-wilding want to get rid of dams, and they have said that and you have seen that. But instead what they are doing is they are not just using the dams. Or they are letting water build up and then releasing dangerous amounts of it, and then talking about, "Well, this is natural, you shouldn't be living in a flood plain." And FEMA continues year after year to expand flood plains to even houses on top, hill tops three hundred feet above lakes here in Austin. There is just asinine type stuff that is going on, and it is all about land grabs, all about power grabs, all about Agenda 21. All about this rural council that ties into the ten governor council. Continuing here:

On February 3 of this year, a series of e-mails from Ft. Pierre SD Director of Public Works Brad Lawrence sounded the alarm loud and clear. In correspondence to the headquarters of the American Water Works Association in Washington, D.C., Lawrence warned that "the Corps of Engineers has failed thus far to evacuate enough water from the main stem reservoirs to meet normal runoff conditions. This year's runoff will be anything but normal."

In the same e-mail, he describes the consequences of the Corps failure to act as a "flood of biblical proportions." [Jones: This is before any of the flooding began]. His e-mails were forwarded from Washington, D.C. to state emergency response coordinators nationwide. The Corps headquarters in Omaha, NE which is responsible for the Missouri river system, claims that they heard no such warning from Lawrence or anyone else. Considering the wide distribution of this correspondence, and the likely reactions from officials in endangered states, their denials strain credulity.

Jones: Or reality, or the smell test. And it just goes on. So, you see I have already got into this now, but I am going to get into it later in detail, because it is so important, and it shows this attitude. Now this is a set policy. You can pull up the reports going back to the 60's, but now these ideas have become mainline to not build firebreaks, to not allow on national, Federal, and state lands, or even private lands, that they are trying to restrict now the cutting of timber. And then the forests debilitate, fall into basically briar patches with lots of fallen trees, huge amounts of fuel. If you have ever been in a forest that has been kept up for centuries, and had human intervention, it is beautiful, it is expansive. The wildlife pours into it. You go into a lot of these forests, that have had a lot of old growth that has died and things, and has had a lot of different types of insect infestations. It looked like something out of a wastelands, badlands, horror movie, and it is just massive amounts of "devilish carbon" by the way that gets it ignited by the thunder storms and lightning storms. And now I am digressing, but they are not building a lot of new dams. They are trying to get rid of the old dams and have destroyed quite a few, and then when they do have dams, they are using them as a weapon and letting the water go right to the crest and then once the rain starts, they already have the snow drifts melting, then the rain comes, and then they release it at once to have the maximum effect. The Army Corps of Engineers are incredible engineers, incredible history. They built one of the best inland dam and water control systems the world has ever seen. And suddenly in the last few decades they are reversing all of that and using the water as a weapon. That is diabolical, but it is stated they do not want people living in the rural areas and they are going to use water as a weapon. All right, now I am really blowing a lot of time here, but I am going to tie that in with Obama's Executive Order. We talked about this a few weeks ago, but I want to really tie it all together. 13575 creates rural councils. Because we posted on YouTube yesterday, I have never seen this, a film clip of Ronald Reagan as governor talking about globalist world government plans to rob the Midwest of its farmland and force people out, which is the stated re-wilding project. I mean, this is just amazing, so I was blown away seeing Ronald Reagan say this, so that is coming up later. OK, obviously in other news, I tend to cover just whatever is on the top of my head, is most important. And sometimes it does not seem as important, but in the wide long term frame it is really dangerous to realize how predatory the establishment is. "Firefighters Scramble to Contain Blaze Near Lab In Los Alamos National Laboratories in New Mexico." The -- [Jones reads from the 1 July 2011 article Firefighters scramble to contain blaze near nuclear lab in New Mexico by the CNN Staff]

...fire is burning nearly unabated through the Santa Fe National Forest and Valles Caldera National Preserve.

By late Thursday, it had charred 93,678 acres and strong winds threatened to be the firefighters’ greatest challenge.

“We have seen fire behavior we have never seen before,” Fire Chief Doug Tucker told reporters.

Jones: Now the good news is in the last few hours, right as the firefighters were not sure they could stop it as close as 50 feet away -- they have been battling it because they have not been allowed to cut back firebreaks in the last few decades -- right up to the facilities where 20,000 plus barrels of uranium and plutonium are stored. There has already been nuclear testing all over that area, so it is putting a lot of isotopes in the atmosphere that had been bound up in the soil and the plants for sixty plus years of outgoing testing. But the good news is that that winds change directions away from the facility in the last few hours, and so keep your fingers crossed because we are all downwind. I am right here in Texas. And we are already undoubtedly if you look at the winds it is coming right into Austin, right into where I live. And I saw a report in the major news just this last two weeks ago that the average person in tests that scientists did inside Seattle are getting five hot particles a day. That means particles, not just background radiation, but actually highly radioactive particles. Different isotopes, uranium, plutonium, Strontium, Cesium, blowing over here, and that people on the East Coast are getting as many as five hot particles a day, in your mouth, in your nose, into your lungs. And I mean it is just, I mean Chernobyl admittedly, even the U.N. and EU admits, they estimate a million people have died from complications from Chernobyl in 1986, and this is much bigger than that, so I love my children, and I cannot just sit here and let them die at 25 of lung cancer. If Los Alamos starts burning, I am going to have to fly my children probably to Canada. I mean if it gets into those 20,000 barrels, we are going to have to evacuate, and the government is not going to tell you to evacuate, folks. Just like with the dust [near the highly pulverized World Trade Center Towers] on 9/11. I will evacuate my family. OK? If it gets to those barrels. [20:02 beginning of ad, ending at 24:30]
Jones: You know what to do? I am going to get into this Agenda 21 right now. I have got to do a whole three hour broadcast on this in the near future, because we have been covering it for the sixteen years I have been on air. They set up Agenda 21 in '92, at the Big Earth Conference headed up by Maurice Strong. You can pull up the video online. You can pull up the quotes where he said a post-industrial America. It is our job to destroy the West and destroy industrial society, reduce the world population by at least 80%. Jesse Ventura, his global warming fraud show in the first season was really good in exposing all that. But I am just glad this information is becoming mainline. You need to understand, that is where the standardized zoning is. Whether you are in England, or Australia, or Germany, or the U.S., it is the same stuff. Formula One is coming into Austin. They are going to pay for it with taxpayer money, but then the companies agreed, which then sets the precedent to pay all these carbon offsets to private companies. I mean it is just a total scam, and Al Gore is the head of one company, the Rothschilds are the head of the biggest. But President Obama's Executive Order 13575, again we talked about this a few weeks ago, they are like "Rural Councils." And it has got the Department of Defense on it, Homeland Security, and they already had this covertly set up. And they send out Homeland Security at events. I have seen it in the Associated Press. And they get the farmers there to talk to them about Al Qaeda, and once they get there, it is like "Is someone growing marijuana? Are there illegal guns in the area? Help us watch your neighbors. I mean, it is so creepy. They know the Midwest, the "bitter clingers" as Obama called them, clinging to their guns and their Bibles are the biggest enemy of the establishment. Plus the farmers in the East, the Amish, and the folks in the West. They are targeting them everywhere. But the Midwest is really where it is really happening, and if you just joined us, I read earlier where the Army Corps of Engineers knowingly -- I mean there is a science to this -- and working and giving orders to the big reservoir dam operators in their plan with record rain in many of these areas that they list that you now see flooded, with the reservoirs already full, with the record snow melt about to come in, and they just waited until it was cresting the dams, and released it. And it is being called a false flag, and I totally agree. And now the Army Corps is in there trying to demand that people be forced to sell in expanding flood plains. And of course FEMA makes you buy flood insurance from them now. They control the consortium. That started after Katrina. I know a lot of folks who live on the lake, but even in hill top houses two hundred, three hundred feet above the lake, and these areas have never been underwater in modern times, and then they are like "you have got to pay extra stuff." Just like Obama saying you have got to buy insurance. It is just a scam. They just order you as a form of taxation for the private corporate interests. Let us go to this Fox News Clip, and again, if FOX was more like this all the time I would support them. It shows a real war inside the elite, covering what the rural affairs agenda and this new council really does. Here it is.

Ronald Reagan: You will find that they have also asked for the right to imprison farmers who wouldn't keep books as prescribed by the Federal government. The Secretary of Agriculture asks for the right to seize farms through condemnation, and resell them to other individuals. And contained in that same program was a provision that would have allowed the federal government to remove two million farmers from the soil.
Commentator: If you live in the heartland of America, you have to listen up. While the nation was distracted with the Anthony Wiener drama, President Obama signed an executive order that will seize greater power over food, fiber, and energy in our vast countryside areas. The President created the White House Rural Council to for "working across government" to strengthen rural communities and promote economic growth. Sounds great, but get this. The council involves a long list of the most powerful people in America: Treasury Secretary Tim Geitner, the Defense Secretary is on it, Attorney General Eric Holder --even the head of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano. Why would Homeland Security be involved in exerting power and influence over the heartland. Why would the Defense Department be involved in promoting economic growth? The plan calls for the Federal government to control almost every aspect of rural America. It will also "Identify and facilitate economic opportunities associated with energy development, outdoor recreation, and other conservation-related activities." Really? When did hunting and fishing become associated with conservation-related activities?

Alex Jones: He goes on and calls it a New World Order. Ladies and gentlemen, that was Ronald Reagan, by the way, at the first. They had this plan in '64, and it is like something out of Stalinist Russia. You can't make this stuff up, it is Agenda 21. [29:50 beginning of break, 33:14 end. Discussion topic shifts to Libya]
Jones: We were able to get ahold of Webster Griffin Tarpley earlier this morning. The phones are down now, but Jared keeps trying, but sometimes we are able to get through to the peace area of Libya where the Nobel Prize winner Obama under UN Orders is killing people in mass and preparing a giant ground invasion as part of the peace....

[Return to topic of Midwest flood and farm crisis at 2:12:31 during interview of Bob Chapman]

2:12:31 We are going to Bob Chapman. I want his take on this first, because it is something I covered in the first hour. I want to get his take on it. We want to go back to your calls as well, Bob Chapman, the former intelligence officer, biggest private silver and gold broker. Helped do the Gary Allen Report. Now his son of course runs Politico. Gary Allen's son. Preeminent guy fighting tyranny for 50 years, and has had to leave the United States due to harassment, so he can live to fight another day. Joining us from an undisclosed location, joining us here in a moment, but President Obama's Executive Order 13575 [PDF] creates rural councils. And see you wouldn't believe me two weeks ago when I talked about this, or sixteen years ago when I talked about Agenda 21, but even though I am going under it in Austin. [They are] doubling the power prices, raping everything, home inspections, total harassment. Big globalist groups above the law, given waivers. But it is happening. But here is Ronald Reagan in '64 -- in '64 -- talking about what the Agriculture Department was trying to do then. And the Agriculture Department's statement is "Get big or get out." Their policy is to shut down small farms. They have the Premises ID, the Animal ID. They tried to pass the Food Safety Act, because Big Pharma owned Big Agra. It always is a big combine. They are all merged. They had $17 million in one week [in political contributions], last November, to try to pass that, to openly try to shut down all the farms and small ranches, with incredible ten dollars in regulations with chips, tags, on a five dollar chicken. Just total bankruptcy, but then Tyson and the rest are exempt. That is just one example. Just the end of it all. Now the IRS already does not allow you to write off your hobby farm. You keep a family farm or family ranch, you try to keep cattle to get the state tax exemption because you could not pay for it if it was not there with the property tax, and then you run the cattle. You pretty much lose money having them, but you have got to have them there to be able to have the tax exempt, and then they come in now to my family and say "You are not getting that. You don't get to -- it has got to be profitable or you are out." But the, oh, -- it is just incredible. Most small farms and ranches, they work at the feed store, or they work at the prison, or they work at the power company, or they work delivering mail in a route, or they are truck drivers and then they take care of their cows when they get home at 7:00 at night. Or they take care of their sheep or their crops. It's all over. And they are going to have the receivership arm come in with Federal help so they can have the federal busy bodies there to organize and con everybody. Don't worry, America is going down. You want it America? You want tyranny, you are getting it. Here is Ronald Reagan talking about it.

Ronald Reagan: You will find they have also asked for the right to imprison farmers who would not keep books as prescribed by the Federal government. The Secretary of Agriculture asks for the right to seize farms through condemnation, and resell them to other individuals. And contained in that same program was a provision that would have allowed the federal government to remove two million farmers from the soil.
Commentator: If you live in the heartland of America, you have to listen up. While the nation was distracted with the Anthony Wiener drama, President Obama signed an executive order that will seize greater power over food, fiber, and energy in our vast countryside areas..

Jones: I am going to stop right there. And they go over the executive order. Homeland Security, spy brigades, local homeland security offices, Department of Defense offices, they are going to help you. Meanwhile, the rest of the story -- find my stack, here is -- the rest of the story breaks down that during the winter they let all these highland lakes, mountain lakes where all these major floods are happening -- changed their policy. Flood everyone. They let it build up, and then knowing the snow-melt would come, and then releasing it all at once, and they are openly trying to force folks off their land. I read this in the first hour, and bragging that it is good to get people off their land. And so now they are not fixing the dams, they building ones, they are tearing them down, but they use existing dams to build it up and flood you. And they were advised on this. They knew it was coming, and now they are going to take the property. Bob Chapman, I tell you, it is just getting crazier and crazier. You wrote about Agenda 21 back in1992 when they first rammed it through, and Maurice Strong said "We are going to bankrupt the West, that is our goal." And that is their goal. The average person just can't admit it is this bad.
Chapman: You are absolutely correct, and it has been an evolving process. Something that has been very subtle. Did not show its head the way it has until just recently. Reminds me of 666, the agglomeration of cities into regions. [Editor's Note: "The Rise of the Mega Region" by Richard Florida, Tim Gulden, and Charlotta Melander, Martin Prosperity Institute, Oct 2007, claims the worlds ten biggest mega regions have 666 million each. Perhaps this is what Bob Chapman means]. That is coming next, I am sure. That was written about 50 years ago. And so these people have a lot of patience. And they are putting into operation what they want to put in. It reminds me of the years between 1934 and 1939 in Germany they did all these kinds of things, but today they are so much more advanced than they were then. That was an experiment, learning curve. I firmly believe that the situation that existed and was financed the way it was in Germany during the 1930's, and before that actually, was a trial run for what we are seeing today. And as proof of that, look at the amalgamation of Western and Eastern Germany some fifteen years ago, and you will see that all the people who are involved in spying on both sides and the Stasi were never prosecuted for anything. It was incredible. Intelligence organizations spent years and years spying on the Russians, East Germans, for the same kinds of things. And if you remember, Alex, it wasn't all that long ago then they had Marcus Wolf and some of the other people who were involved in Stasi, and in the KGB, in America, with the State Department, and they were under contract to teach Americans in that sphere how to do that and how to set up spying systems which you have mentioned.
Jones: Well Bob, we are going to break, but I mean this is so diabolical. He sets up -- Bush starts, Obama continues -- the ten governor councils so that he can ignore the states. Under FEMA [it] has ten kept minion governors that now run the ten regions. They set up, as they have done in other countries, this rural affairs office where they admit -- now you are going to have the Department of Defense and the Feds running around in your corn fields -- I mean, stay there, Bob, I mean it is so hellish. People have no idea how much trouble we are in. We are being occupied just like Iraq or Libya or any of these countries. [2:19:20 start of ad break, resumes at 2:24:28]
Jones: By the way, I am on the prisonplanet.com forum, and we have got all these world leaders calling for it, but I did find the Australian Prime Minister calling for global government, and then they have got the Green parties, when you click on it, greens.org or .au -- I am going to get Watson or Kurt or someone to do an article on this. It says, "Global governance," and it has got the path to world government, it has got how great the international criminal court is, how great the U.N. is, that all nations must accept the criminal court and the U.N. invasion armies for peace. I mean, this is -- They come in, they fund a group to up-rise, and then the U.N. invades you. And it is all happening, and of course they put Obama in and gave him a Peace Prize. That is all part of the joke. It is all part of the "It is Peace!" That is what Obama keeps saying. He said in his speech a couple of days ago, we played a clip yesterday, he said "I don't need to talk to Congress." This isn't war, this is peace." I mean, he actually said that. He said "This is peace! This is peace!" Bob Chapman, they are just -- it is happening. The world government is here!
Chapman: Well, they are going forward like it was here. And they want it to be here. And they are making it be here. And all the earmarks are there. And, you know, Australia has been one of the leading places, obeying the orders of the New World Order, which is rather surprising. I did not think that they in years past they would be. But they are. We carry an Australian section in our International Forecaster. We have a lot of news coming out of there. We have several good sources there, and they have got some pretty good coverage through the media there that you still would be able to pick something up that is useful. But we are going to see this all over the world. And it is part of a larger plan. And they are ready to go on it. And they are pushing it. And they -- the people who are involved, are coming right out and saying "Yes, we have to have a New World Order." And you are going to hear more and more of them. And they are trying to condition you to think that maybe that is good and it is better than being unemployed.
Jones: But then I still go on mainline Republican shows, and they still go, "You are a conspiracy theorist. You believe there is a group setting up world government," and they are like all over the news saying it is the answer to everything, but even some mainline conservative talk show hosts still cannot wake up because they remember the thirty years past where you are not supposed to talk about it because it does not exist, so it is like somebody who has been told "Trains don't exist, trains don't exist, if you ever see one coming at you, it is imaginary, you are schizophrenic." And so somebody sees a train coming, they just walk out in front of it, and it is like NJAAAAA!!! NJAAAAA!!!! it is going like 70 miles an hour and it is rumbling or honking, they are trying to slam their brakes on, and you are going "It's not a train, it is not a train..." I mean, this is mind control.
Chapman: Absolutely. Mind control, and in its present form, it has been refined greatly. The major media is into it all the time. That is why so many of these people get hooked and then they get sucked in and then they get indoctrinated and then when we get ahold of them and tell them the truth, they say, "Gee, that can't be true. I mean, I didn't see that any place else, are you sure?" And as you well know, Alex, that is the kind of thing we have to put up with. And this facebook thing with the young man ---and that is probably going to spread all over the world -- that kind of apprehension, because you said what they figure is the wrong thing. That is going to become more prevalent. It will be a way of scaring people into not talking about anything.
Jones: It is getting insane. What about Dominic Straus Kahn?...[2:28:21]

Agenda 21(Wikipedia article)

Agenda 21 is an action plan of the United Nations (UN) related to sustainable development and was an outcome of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. It is a comprehensive blueprint of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the UN, governments, and major groups in every area in which humans directly affect the environment...

Implementation

The Commission on Sustainable Development acts as a high level forum on sustainable development and has acted as preparatory committee for summits and sessions on the implementation of Agenda 21. The United Nations Division for Sustainable Development acts as the secretariat to the Commission and works 'within the context of' Agenda 21.

Implementation by member states remains essentially voluntary.

On June 09, 2011, United States' President Barack H. Obama signed Presidential Executive Order #13575 - Establishment of the White House Rural Council, which provides federal funding for UN Agenda 21-style programs within the US.

 

2011-06-22 The Purposeful Flooding of America's Heartland by Joe Herring, americanthinker.com (discussed on the 1 July 2011 Alex Jones show, 1st hour, beginning around 11 minutes, MP3 download Here).

The Missouri River basin encompasses a vast region in the central and west-central portion of our country. This river, our nation's longest, collects the melt from Rocky Mountain snowpack and the runoff from our continents' upper plains before joining the Mississippi river above St. Louis some 2,300 miles later. It is a mighty river, and dangerous.

Some sixty years ago, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) began the process of taming the Missouri by constructing a series of six dams. The idea was simple: massive dams at the top moderating flow to the smaller dams below, generating electricity while providing desperately needed control of the river's devastating floods.

The stable flow of water allowed for the construction of the concrete and earthen levees that protect more than 10 million people who reside and work within the river's reach. It allowed millions of acres of floodplain to become useful for farming and development. In fact, these uses were encouraged by our government, which took credit for the resulting economic boom. By nearly all measures, the project was a great success.

But after about thirty years of operation, as the environmentalist movement gained strength throughout the seventies and eighties, the Corps received a great deal of pressure to include some specific environmental concerns into their MWCM (Master Water Control Manual, the "bible" for the operation of the dam system). Preservation of habitat for at-risk bird and fish populations soon became a hot issue among the burgeoning environmental lobby. The pressure to satisfy the demands of these groups grew exponentially as politicians eagerly traded their common sense for "green" political support.

Things turned absurd from there. An idea to restore the nation's rivers to a natural (pre-dam) state swept through the environmental movement and their allies. Adherents enlisted the aid of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), asking for an updated "Biological Opinion" from the FWS that would make ecosystem restoration an "authorized purpose" of the dam system. The Clinton administration threw its support behind the change, officially shifting the priorities of the Missouri River dam system from flood control, facilitation of commercial traffic, and recreation to habitat restoration, wetlands preservation, and culturally sensitive and sustainable biodiversity.

Congress created a committee to advise the Corps on how best to balance these competing priorities. The Missouri River Recovery and Implementation Committee has seventy members. Only four represent interests other than environmentalism. The recommendations of the committee, as one might expect, have been somewhat less than evenhanded.

The Corps began to utilize the dam system to mimic the previous flow cycles of the original river, holding back large amounts of water upstream during the winter and early spring in order to release them rapidly as a "spring pulse." The water flows would then be restricted to facilitate a summer drawdown of stream levels. This new policy was highly disruptive to barge traffic and caused frequent localized flooding, but a multi-year drought masked the full impact of the dangerous risks the Corps was taking.

This year, despite more than double the usual amount of mountain and high plains snowpack (and the ever-present risk of strong spring storms), the true believers in the Corps have persisted in following the revised MWCM, recklessly endangering millions of residents downstream.

Missouri Senator Roy Blunt agrees, calling the management plan "flawed" and "poorly thought out." Sen. Blunt characterized the current flooding as "entirely preventable" and told reporters that he intends to force changes to the plan...

...At the time of this writing, the Corps is scrambling for political cover, repeatedly denying that it had any advance warning of the potential for this catastrophe. The official word is that everything was just fine until unexpectedly heavy spring rains pushed the system past the tipping point.

On February 3, 2011, a series of e-mails from Ft. Pierre SD Director of Public Works Brad Lawrence sounded the alarm loud and clear. In correspondence to the headquarters of the American Water Works Association in Washington, D.C., Lawrence warned that "the Corps of Engineers has failed thus far to evacuate enough water from the main stem reservoirs to meet normal runoff conditions. This year's runoff will be anything but normal."

In the same e-mail, he describes the consequences of the Corps failure to act as a "flood of biblical proportions." His e-mails were forwarded from Washington, D.C. to state emergency response coordinators nationwide. The Corps headquarters in Omaha, NE which is responsible for the Missouri river system, claims they heard no such warning from Lawrence or anyone else. Considering the wide distribution of this correspondence, and the likely reactions from officials in endangered states, their denials strain credulity.

Whether warned or not, the fact remains that had the Corps been true to its original mission of flood control, the dams would not have been full in preparation for a "spring pulse." The dams could further have easily handled the additional runoff without the need to inundate a sizeable chunk of nine states. The Corps admits in the MWCM that they deliberately embrace this risk each year in order to maximize their re-ordered priorities...

...In recent decades, many universities have steeped their Natural Sciences curriculum in the green tea of earth-activism, producing radically eco-centric graduates who naturally seek positions with the government agencies where they can best implement their theories. Today, many of these men and women have risen high in their fields, hiring fellow travelers to fill subordinate positions and creating a powerful echo chamber of radical environmentalist theory.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is a victim/tool of the above-described process. The horrifying consequence is water rushing from the dams on the Missouri twice as fast as the highest previous releases on record. Floodgates that have not been opened in more than fifty years are in full operation, discharging water at a rate of 150,000 cubic feet per second toward millions of Americans downstream.

This is a mind-boggling rate of release. Consider that 150,000 cubic feet of water would fill a football field instantly to a depth of four feet. This amount of water, being released every second, will continue unabated for the next several months. The levees that protect the cities and towns downstream were constructed to handle the flow rates promised at the time of the dam's construction. None of these levees have ever been tested at these levels, yet they must hold back millions of acre-feet of floodwater for the entire summer without failing. In the flooding of 1993, more than a thousand levees failed. This year's event will be many orders of magnitude greater.

There are many well-publicized examples of absurd obeisance to the demands of radical environmentalists resulting in great economic harm. The Great Missouri River Flood of 2011 is shaping up to be another -- only this time, the price will likely be paid in lives lost as well as treasure. Ayn Rand said, "You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality."

Rothschild, Rockefeller, Maurice Strong, Al Gore, Goldman Sachs, Mayor Daley, William Ayers, Saul Alinsky, Saudi Arabia, China and the United Nations equals Barak Obama.

When we look at what has happened to the American dream, the American Constitution, the American economy in the past 12 months, it seems that there is a deliberate plan to completely destroy the entire American way of life and even the country as we know it.

When you look at the national debt, the bail outs of the banks, the fake stimulus bill, the health care bill, the coming cap and trade, the loss of jobs at the same time government workers have increased wages by 100% and more, and the exposed lies about Global Warming and Obama’s birth and mother, we can only conclude it is a master plan to destroy America.

But I have had a problem finding out who is behind all these obvious changes, which are against the will of the people. In order to trace “why” and “father” of these problems, I have had to go back 50 years and found the organization and man behind all this and the front man behind Barak Obama.

His name is Maurice Strong, born in Canada, lived in New York, and now exiled in China, but still the power behind Obama and the liberal House and Senate of America. To start to understand this man and his influence read his statement below to a group of reporters.

“In order to save the planet, the group [GIM] decides: Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring this about? This group of world leaders [GIM] forms a secret society to bring about an economic collapse.”

George Soros and his Canadian sidekick, Kyoto architect Maurice Strong, are the brains behind the likes of Al Gore, Mikhail Gorbachev and Barak Obama, all who belong to the above and the “Chicago Climate Exchange” which will make billions on climate change.

Barrack Hussein Obama is the one out in front talking about “Change we can believe in”, but the senator from Illinois is only the latest puppet.

We already know from the Internet that Soros has gone a long way to bankroll Obama’s campaign, but not so well known is that Soros worked in conjunction with Maurice Strong to saturate the American automobile market with the China-produced Chery.

“Like the bad guys in a spy movie, Soros and Strong teamed up on the Chery, a sort of poor man’s made-in-China vehicle, with which they hope to flood the U.S. market next year.”

Strong has been saying all along that China would someday soon replace the U.S. as world economic leader.

Described in countless media write-ups as a cross between the Wizard of Oz and Dr. No, the Canadian oil billionaire was the Secretary General of the 1992 UN Conference on the environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro where the unveiling of Agenda 21 took place and subtly began to change the world as the rest of us know it.

“With little media monitoring, Strong and Gore are cashing in on the lucrative cottage industry known as man-made global warming.”

“Strong is on the board of directors of the Chicago Climate Exchange, described as “the world’s first and North America’s only legally binding greenhouse gas emission registry reduction system for emission sources and offset projects in North America and Brazil.

“Gore buys his carbon off-sets from himself—the Generation Investment Management LLP, “an independent, private, owner-managed partnership established in 2004 with offices in London and Washington, D.C.”, of which he is both chairman and founding partner.”

“In order to save the planet, the group [GIM] decides: Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring this about?”

“This group of world leaders [GIM] forms a secret society to bring about an economic collapse,” Strong told the reporter in painting his so-called fantasy scenario.

“It’s February. They’re all at Davos. These aren’t terrorists. They’re world leaders. They have positioned themselves in the world’s commodities and stock markets.

They’ve engineered, using their access to stock markets and computers and gold supplies, a panic. Then, they prevent the world’s stock markets from closing. They jam the gears. They hire mercenaries who hold the rest of the world leaders at Davos as hostage. The markets can’t close…

Two weeks ago, financial analyst Jim Rogers said the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made America more communist than China!

“This is welfare for the rich,” he said. “This is socialism for the rich. It’s bailing out the financiers, the banks, the Wall Streeters.

Even ex-president Putin, just today, said as Russia rid itself of Marxism, America is embracing it.

The world’s second richest man, worth some $44 billion, gave 85% of his wealth in July of 2006 to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

The lion’s share of the Gates foundation goes into United Nations sanctioned projects. Make that the fomenting for One World Government anti-American United Nations.

As Henry Ford once said:

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning. The one aim of these financiers is world control by the creation of inextinguishable debt.” Welcome to One World Government.

Not only has it slipped in through the back door, it is right here about to keep you awake at night.

Obama, Maurice Strong, Al Gore, Chicago Climate Exchange Judi McLeod Canadian Free Press

“While on the board of a Chicago-based charity, Barack Obama helped fund a carbon trading exchange that will likely play a critical role in the cap-and-trade carbon reduction program he is now trying to push through Congress as president.”

The charity was the Joyce Foundation on whose board of directors Obama served and which gave nearly $1.1 million in two separate grants that were “instrumental in developing and launching the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange, which now calls itself “North America’s only cap and trade system for all six greenhouse gases, with global affiliates and projects worldwide.”

The “privately-owned” Chicago Climate Exchange is heavily influenced by Obama cohorts Al Gore and Maurice Strong.

For years now Strong and Gore have been cashing in on that lucrative cottage industry known as man-made global warming.
