It appears that is exactly what they are doing.

How soon until they go after the Olagalla Aquifier?
Here is an interesting article about the aquifier. It appears the wind farm hero T Boone Pickens plans to drain it dry for a profit.

That thing is very recent. Dated today, in fact.

Put that information together with the population thing I linked and you have those centralized population centers taken care of. This becomes scarier and scarier thinking who our President is now along with those people in control of Congress following him. We may well be done for with the capitol of the world somewhere other than UN headquarters in New York.

Poor old Harry Truman really thought the UN would be a good thing and it turned out to be what it is.

Old T. Boone had some great plans concerning windpower and water but I think he cashed in on them some time ago. He wanted the state of Texas to pay to build the power transmission lines from West Texas to Dallas and Houston areas so he could control all of that. There was an attempt to put a tax on electricity for all people of Texas for that purpose but the noise got pretty loud and he had to back down on the wind power. I think he sold all his rights to all those towers in West Texas. I don't know what happened with the canals he planned to run along the power lines after that part fell through. I guess I need to check up on that.

These words from your article really do scare me since the whole western part of Kansas depends on the Ogalalalla Aquifer for its water. Towns use water from it, all the irrigators of the area are dependent on it. It is drying up already without T. Boone. The irrigators have already started cutting on the water they use and that will hurt the economy of the area more than most city dwellers will ever be able to fathom. Those same people are working hard to figure out ways to recharge the aquifer in hopes they can maintain their homes and businesses, and old T. Boone doesn't care about anything but making money.

This article is from last year. It appears old T Boone greased the legislators enough and with his two person town got 2.2 billiion in taxpayer backed bonds for his water lines and 4 billion or so to build transmission lines for his windmills. He will be out doodly even if it all goes to pot. Plus he wants to sell 65 billion gallons of water a year to Dallas from the aquifier.

not sure if it will be ALL, but here are some links

Consumer Information
The Food and Drug Administration has approved irradiation of meat and poultry and allows its use for a variety of other foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables, and spices. The agency determined that the process is safe and effective in decreasing or eliminating harmful bacteria.

FDA proposes softening irradiated food labels
Posted 4/4/2007 10:37 AM |
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government proposed Tuesday relaxing its rules on labeling of irradiated foods and suggested it may allow some products zapped with radiation to be called "pasteurized."
The Food and Drug Administration said the proposed rule would require companies to label irradiated food only when the radiation treatment causes a material change to the product. Examples includes changes to the taste, texture, smell or shelf life of a food, which would be flagged in the new labeling.

FDA proposes softening irradiated food labels - USATODAY.com

The US allows this process in:



fresh meat and poultry

wheat, wheat powder

white potatoes

fresh shell eggs

fresh produce

many spices and dry vegetable seasonings
and recently, lettuce has been added to the list.
Canada currently permits irradiation in:



potatoes and onions

wheat, flour, whole wheat flour

and spices

Health Canada is proposing to expand the allowable foods to include:



fresh and frozen ground beef and poultry

prepackaged fresh, frozen, prepared and dried shrimp and prawns

and mangoes


New report on the status of Food Irradiation around the world
U.S. advocacy group, Food & Water Watch have released a new report "Food Irradiation Around the World". Download your copy [http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/foo...n-status-2006]

Some excerpts from the report:

- In February 2006, AEA Technology (AEAT), a company that was formerly part of the UK Atomic Energy Authority, was found guilty of a series of failings that led to a Cobalt- 60 transportation incident two years ago.

- In Ireland, 14 samples of noodles tested positive for irradiated ingredients. None of them were labeled.

- The EU has placed on ban on further irradiation approvals due to scientific research questioning the safety of some chemicals formed when food is exposed to radiation.

It appears the UN is already taking land left and right. These UN Bioshpere's go right along with the Endangered Species Act and Clean Water Initiative as pointed out in the article to leave most of the planet for wildlife while forcing humans into ghetto type housing so as to not disturb the land. Your right the more one reads about this crap the scarier it gets..

I had noticed in my state government, that some rivers and areas were already to "go back to there nature beauty" which puts restrictions on its use. I have read some of the Iron Mountain Report, not good. It's to bad some will not research this because the facts are there for them to find.
There isn't a single wilderness area in the country you cannot go into. You just can't plow a road through it. It is only a conspiracy to redneck yahoos in giant lifted pickup trucks who would die if they walked up a hill on their own two feet because they are so out of shape and feel it is their god given right to put tire tracks on every square inch of the gold ole' USofA.
