Global water tax
First it was no more counties, everything "state" operated, here in Oregon starting in the 60's.... then there was all the "interstate" jurisdictions created beyond state boundaries, "regions", "zones", "areas", "districts", " 21 Century Communities", on and on....NOW THE INTERNATIONAL COURT IS BRINGING WHAT USED TO BE "COUNTRIES" BUT ARE NOW "COPORATE STATES" INTO COMPLIANCE WITH THE GLOBAL RULES .... NO CONSTITUTIONAL PROCESS IN IT, TOTALLY STATUTORY...
Already they use water to steal homes, destroy lives, arbitrarily add taxes to water bills, then shut off services to the poor... who then lose their children for failure to provide basic needs.... it is all so horrendous and the poor have NO remedy in any known public assistance.... "no wrong door" they call it so that no matter who you turn to for help they are a mandatory reporter who WILL turn you in for any "rule violation"... doctors taking your drivers license now through DMV - THERE IS NO APPEAL PEOPLE.... IT IS A CUT AND DRY BUSINESS GOING ON IN THERE - YOU PAY OR YOU PAY SOME OTHER WAY.....
ON OUR WEBSITE UNDER GLOBAL AGENDA SEE THE MAP FOR THE UN BIODIOVERSITY AND WHAT THEY HAVE PLANNED FOR US... PUT KEY WORDS INTO THE SEARCH ENGINE AND REAL MORE ABOUT THIS, ALL HAPPENING NOW, AND THE REAL REASON BEHIND ALL THE OUTRAGEOUS THINGS GOING ON IN COURTS.... THE COURT IS WHERE THIS IS ENFORCED, WHERE THE TICKET YOU GET TURNS IN TO YOUR RENDERING ON THE KILLING FLOOR, SOON THE BEHEADINGS WILL BE RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN COURTS, WITH JUDGES CREATING "TORTURE WARRANTS" AND "EXECUTIONS ON THE SPOT" WITH "THE EXTRA JUDICIAL SOLUTION", GUN SHIPS FROM HELICOPTERS BLASTING ANYTHING THE STATE TARGETS.....
IF WE DONT START SAYING NO NO AND NO TO EVERY BIT OF THIS, AND THESE AGENTS START MEETING UP WITH SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO DEFEND OURSELVES, WE WILL NOT STAND AGAINST IT AT ANY LATER TIME. THE TIME IS NOW TO ACT.
FULL DISCLOSURE NOW. TRUTH IN COURTROOMS NOW. CONSTITUTIONAL JUDICIAL DUE PROCESS... WE ARE THE AUTHORITY, ONLY IF WE ACT LIKE IT IN THAT COURTROOM AND HELP EACH OTHER...

In Response To: GOVERNMENT METERING PRIVATE WELLS (PRAVDASEEKER)
Greetings, Pravdaseeker:
The slow and methodical water grab by the government has been underway in the Western United States since the 1940s. If you thought what Mulholland and the L.A Metropolitan water district did to the Owens Valley was bad, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Do a google search on the Methow Valley, here in Washington State. You will find a naked and vicious water grab by the government bureaucracy and their allied environmental comrades that will knock you off your feet!
And....this is just ONE example among thousands of similar cases. Here in the Tampico WA area, our farmers, ranchers, and landowners in general, just recently lost their existing water rights to the State Dept. of Ecology. Some of the water rights that were taken away (stolen) have been on the books since before 1856. I have a close friend who lives about five miles down the road from me. His family settled here in 1870 and have lived here ever since. They have a small spring in their front yard. They have irrigated their garden with it for 150 years. As part of the recent water rights rip-off. They were served with an injunction by the department of Ecology and threatened with arrest if the Ecology department finds that they ever use the spring again.
Here in the Pacific northwest, you can be thrown in jail for using your private well to grow and sell anything other than fodder for sheep or horses. One must buy a special permit for a well that is any larger than 6 inches in diameter... This permit costs $1,000 dollars. You must pay for the permit first, and then wait to receive it. The current wait to receive a permit to drill a hole in the ground any larger than 6 inches in diameter is 10 years!
So, it is only a matter of time before all wells are metered and you are charged for the water you use. Of course the fact that you paid to drill the well and you paid to install the pump and the pipe and the State didn't pay squat to help you with those expenses, has no bearing on the issue. You will be metered and you WILL pay. The servants who will be our masters, have ordained it!
Now, I believe that it is not all that far fetched to consider this:… After everyone's wells are successfully metered, and everyone is paying the government for the privilege of a drink of water. What could possibly be next?
Well, I will tell you what comes next......
You and I will be metered for the amount of air we breath each day! Sound far fetched? So did meters on private wells, just a few years ago. Oxygen consumption meters will be worn someday by your children. And...They will pay! Just wait and see!

==============RUMOR MILL NEWS AGENCY===========
Rayelan Allan, Publisher
In 1993, the World Bank published a Policy Paper, titled, "Water Resources Management." The intent of the water management laid out in the Policy Paper, is to gain control of humanity by gaining control of the water.
The following Analysis of the World Bank's Policy Paper was written by a friend of Rumor Mill News. This is the first time it has been released on the Internet. It was scanned, using an OCR program. It has been proofed many times. Hopefully, all the mistakes were caught.

An Analysis of THE WORLD BANK* WATER POLICY
*(International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) which was originally set up to rebuild Europe after the devastation of World War II.
Why does the World Bank have its hands in everybody's business and personal life around the world?
Remember George Orwell's warning when reading any document: "You can read people's intentions by their use of the language. If the words are so long and fuzzy that we cannot understand what is being said, or if we can surmise that they are saying nothing at all . .
. . . we can be fairly sum the speaker is trying to swindle us!"
Well folks. . the international elitists are calling for what they say is a new approach to how they manage your water. In fact their plan calls for managing your water, your land, and you!
The WORLD BANK "claims" that their overall objective is to reduce poverty. Now that's very interesting. Why is the WORLD BANK involved in "social engineering"?
In fact, all of the WORLD BANK programs are involved in redistribution of land, resources and wealth! It would appear that the wonderful folks at the WORLD BANK are ignoring the truism -- "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day ... teach him how to fish and he will learn to feed himself."
Of course if their real objective is to starve all of us, they're on the right track to: Land starvation, Resources starvation, and Wealth starvation!
Who does the WORLD BANK blame for all this poverty and starvation? Why, all the current governments of course. The WORLD BANK specifically points out the total mismanagement of water by all the governments. Explaining of course that the BANK is destined to be the savior of the water. . All the water ... Everywhere!
The WORLD BANK will use "Estimated Opportunity Costs"(EOC)* to set the price for water!
*The WORLD BANK defines EOC as"the value of goods or services forgone, including goods and services, when a scarce resource is used for one purpose instead of for its next best alternative use".
How's that for a mouthful of fuzzy words? .... Heed George Orwell's warning!
The WORLD BANK "claims" that all the current. governments have the following faults:
1 . Mis-allocate and waste water. [page 9]
2. Permit damage to the environment due to weak and distorted policies.
3. Neglect financial accountability. [page27]
4. Neglect user participation.
5. Charge too low a price for water. (They aren't charging for "Estimated Opportunity Costs.")
6. Ineffective delivery of water to users, especially the poor.
[page 12]
7. Operate under centralized structure.
The WORLD BANK then makes the following proclamations:
1 . Water is essential for life. (Now here's a bold statement of the obvious!)
2. Water has an Economic Value and is recognized as an Economic Good. (p. 24]
3. Water is a scarce natural resource. [page 21] (I believe the old saying is: "Figures don't lie but LIARS figure." i.e. using half truths.)
Get ready for all kind of "fees" regarding water ...Especially since the WORLD BANK will be certain to charge a "high enough proper" price for water. (And you thought Perrier was expensive!).
1. SOCIAL FEES: Those who have worked hard to better themselves will have to come up with subsidies for the poor. [pages 15, 72]
2 BENEFIT TAXES: If you receive any benefit whatsoever from your land, you will be taxed on that "benefit." [page 85]
3. POLLUTION CHARGES: You will be charged a pollution tax for any pollution on your land. [page 16] [The poop left by your pet on your land is going to cost you big time!]
The WORLD BANK wants to terminate, (with extreme prejudice), the federal structure in all countries. The WORLD BANK will not permit sovereign states within a "Federal Structure" to have any authority over the water. The WORLD BANK plans to do this by replacing all country and state political boundaries with geographical RIVER BASINS BOUNDARIES. [page 28,71]
The WORLD BANK plan calls for the transfer by contract of all water jurisdiction by governments to Private Corporations and "User Associations" These corporations and user associations will of course be mandated to meet all WORLD BANK regulations and prohibitions. [page 11]
[These "Private" entities will operate at the River Basin level. States will NOT have any control. Please note that a "river basin" includes all surface and underground water flowing into a common area. They simply march from the wetlands, up the river, up the streams, to the headwaters which are typically runoff or springs.
This includes any water in the ground along the way, and any land which would allow water to run into the river basin "area". By the way, the WORLD BANK requires an environmental impact and assessment of the entire river basin system. The "river basin" organizations will be assisted by the Global Environmental Facility in collaboration with UNDP, the United Nations Development Program.] [page 14,19]
These WORLD BANK contracts will comply with each country's national objectives which are of course the objectives of the WORLD BANK. The WORLD BANK "objectives" are stipulated in the water project loan agreements for country. The WORLD BANK water projects loans clearly spell out that--"In acceptance of the monies of the WORLD BANK, the countries MUST participate in the international initiatives": i.e. United Nation's Conventions, Treaties, Agreements, and they MUST implement the WORLD BANK Policies on WATER and LAND USE!!!!!! [page 13]
The WORLD BANK Water Resources Management Program is structured similar to a Medieval Feudal system. The WORLD BANK is at the top of the pyramid as the Lord and Master dictating how the water will be used through "Demand Management."
Demand Management consists of:
1. Price-based incentives to enforce low water usage. (How's that for a fancy way to say raise the price to whatever level it takes to achieve the WORLD BANK goals.)
2. Water Rationing.
3. Water restrictions on specific usage. (Determined by the WORLD BANK of course).
Beijing, China is given as an example:
1. Quotas on water consumption
2. Fines on excessive water use
As outrageous as the following may sound, it is a quote by David Rockefeller: "Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high moral and community of purpose. The SOCIAL EXPERIMENT in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history." [Quote after visiting Mao Tse-Tung. . . ."From a China Traveler," New York Times August 10, 1973]. Please read David Rockefeller's quote once more just to get a glimpse into the distorted mind of a true elitist. One wonders how the dead or jailed victims of Tiananmen Square would evaluate Chairman Mao's Social Experiment?
The Framework for the WORLD BANK Water Resource Management is consistent with two documents.
1. The 1992 Dublin, Ireland statement from the International Conference on Water and the Environment (UN). [page 10]
This insidious but "friendly sounding" document has four guiding
principles:
A. The Holistic approach tying social and economic development with Protection of Natural Ecosystems including Land and Water LINKAGES across catchment areas or groundwater aquifers.
B. Use of a "participatory approach" with users, planners, and policy-makers input. (Please be aware that they are talking about the "consensus" method where the final decision has already been decided by the "facilitator" and the participants only function is to be led by the facilitator to say yes to the pre-determined "decision")
C. The women in each community are to be given the "responsibility" for providing, managing, and safeguarding the water according to the WORLD BANK policy. [page 16]
[The WORLD BANK is using the "empowerment of women" as their carrot on a stick to entice the women of the world to go along with the WORLD BANK scheme. The WORLD BANK is using the standard Sun Tzu tactic of "divide and conquer." This can be seen in many areas where a wedge is being driven between men and women]
D. Water has an economic value and is an economic good. [How much water would you use at $ 1.00 per gallon?] .... and if that's not high enough to reduce your total water usage, the WORLD BANK will raise the price to what ever it takes to reduce your water usage to their preset level of 40 liters/person/day. That's 10.57 gallons/person/day for ALL water usage. (from Agenda 21, "Fresh Water") "Full cost recovery" is mandated by the WORLD BANK to properly compensate the "Water Agencies"
2. AGENDA 21 from the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (Earth Summit 11) is using the guiding principle of Demand Management to control the use and distribution of water by: The use of Price, Volume Restrictions, and (Invasive) Regulations.
The WORLD BANK supports land use policies that restore and "protect" the quality of ground water, E.D.I., the Economic Development Institute division of the WORLD BANK, will train and supply the planners, managers, technicians, and country policy analysis. This of course means that "Resettlement of People" will be required. [page 17] [Although the WORLD BANK tries to soft peddle this feature of their plan, it is occurring around the globe.]
The WORLD BANK works with the following U.N. Organizations (page 22] UNDP The UN Development Program.
RE: Water Resource Management
FAO Thee Food & Agricultural Organization.
RE: Sustainable Agriculture
WHO The World Health Organization
RE: Quality of Water
UNICF The UN International Children's Fund.
RE: Rural Communities
WMO The World Meteorological Organization.
RE: Hydro Assessment
UNESCO The UN Educational, Scientific & Cultural Org
RE: Protected Land
UNEP The UN Environmental Program
RE: Protected Ecosystems
UNDESD The UN Dept. of Economic & Social Development
RE: Its Science, Technology, Energy,
Environment, and Natural Resources Division formulates policies
and projects including RURAL WATER SUPPLY, RIVER
BASINS, POLLUTION CONTROL, and hosts the Intersecretariat
Group for water resources.
The largest users of water ----
Agriculture 69% (Worldwide) [page 26]
Agriculture 80% (Third World Countries)
Industry 23%
Household 8%
The WORLD BANK states that Agriculture uses too much water. They also claim that cattle (in fact all gazing animals), are the leading cause of desertification. i.e. turning the land into a desert! [Now this is the largest load of cow pie I've heard in a long time. The "cubicle freaks" who live in the dark bowels of the WORLD BANK and come up with nonsense like this have obviously never been past the city limits. Cow manure is fertilizer. The land grows better with fertilizer. People in the city are more than happy to bring home several bags of this "fertilizer" for their home lawns, flower & vegetable gardens.]
The WORLD BANK claims that farmers & ranchers do not pay enough for water. The most water intensive crops are alfalfa, rice, sugarcane, and corn for silage (livestock feed). [page 301]
The WORLD BANK feels that farmers & ranchers should be charged 300% to 500% more! In addition, the WORLD BANK states that when water is diverted upstream for irrigation and other uses, downstream areas that support "sensitive water dependent ecosystems, including wetlands, become less able to fulfill these valuable biodiversity functions. [page 34]
[That's right folks, all you humans are in the way of the grand plan of the WORLD BANK]
The WORLD BANK calls for the DE-CENTRALIZATION of water management. They claim that the problem is that each different water use is managed by a separate department i.e. irrigation, municipal, power & transportation. Then, in classic "fuzzy" worded language, they call for ecological, social, and economic water system policy & regulations to be dictated by the WORLD BANK. [page 27] [Gee, that sure sounds like centralized management to me!]
The WORLD BANK claims that it is difficult to solve water problems when state or local governments have authority over the water. [page 28] [Those darn constitutional folks are always getting in the way of a tyrant on the march.]
The WORLD BANK feels it would be a lot easier to achieve its goals if a national water agency following the WORLD BANK plan were to run the water policy through lower levels of government, community organizations, private sector units and NGO's. [page 28,30]
I know its hard to wade through the fuzzy language but here we go again.... [page 42]
Per the WORLD BANK; within a decentralized central system, adequate charges ($) would endow the WORLD BANK water entities with operational and financial ($) independence. [It's real easy folks, we pay the water entity for whatever water they will sell us at whatever price they choose. They operate in collaboration with the IUCN with complete impunity.... On January 18, 1996, by Executive Order # 12986, President Clinton gave diplomatic immunity to IUCN, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, and its umbrella land & water organizations..... CAN YOU SPELL TYRANNY ?]
The WORLD BANK wants Institutional Reform. [page 14, 44] They want to ensure that their rules and regulations are coordinated and ENFORCED! They state that historical private and local water rights need to be brought into compliance. [In other words, the WORLD BANK doesn't believe that you know how to use your water properly].
The WORLD BANK states that the rights to water need to be clearly defined, with due concern shown for the interests of indigenous people, the poor, and other disadvantaged groups. [Now that's more fuzzy, snake-tongue talk. Our wonderful Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbett tried to buy the water rights of the Ute Indian Nation for $272 Million! Fortunately the Indians learned their lesson after the beads-for-land-deal. The Ute Indians just said NO!]
The WORLD BANK then goes on to say that they need to be in charge of the water because otherwise, bad people might try to form a water monopoly! [And exactly what would you call what the WORLD BANK is trying to do .... ?] Then the WORLD BANK goes on to repeat that the "River Basin Organizations" need to have "dictatorial" water policy power!
The WORLD BANK points to the French Water System which has been in place for 25 years. There are 6 river basin financial agencies which collect fees, implement policy, and make grants and loans. The 1st fee is based on the amount of water use . The 2nd fee is based on the level of pollution at each point source. The regulation & enforcement is done by National Ministries. [page 46] [This is supposed to be an example of de-centralization???]
Water is rated according to its "usage value". [Page 31, 48] Highest Value Water Usage: Wetlands, Ecosystems, River Fisheries, Deltas [page34] High Value Water Usage: Domestic, Industrial [page 48] Low Value Water Usage: Agriculture [page 31]
Of course the WORLD BANK determines what is high or low value water usage. In order to save water for the wetlands, the WORLD BANK suggests that people, [just us common folks of course], drink processed toilet & sewer water. The WORLD BANK euphemistically refers to this activity as "water reuse in various economic activities." [page73]
The WORLD BANK states that they have increased their focus on issues such as poverty alleviation, resettlement, and women's roles in development. [page 131] [This sure is a massive departure from their initial stated role as rebuilder of war damaged Europe. Again, their actual name is INTERNATIONAL BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT]
The WORLD BANK, using their standard "smoke & mirrors" technique, is promoting women's traditional role in securing water, and their potential role in "educational training" and informed participation in planning development projects. [page 62] [Remember the "retraining" camps in Laos, Cambodia, Viet Nam, and China.]
On page 121 of the WORLD BANK water policy manual they state that their policy is to be open about its activities. [This is totally inconsistent with their actual policy. One is faced with the no admittance statement "FORBIDDEN" when trying to retrieve the WORLD BANK water policy manual on their internet site. After reading their water policy manual I understand why!]
In order to create the illusion that the local or federal government is in charge of the water, the WORLD BANK Water Policy has a section entitled: "The Case for Government Involvement in Water Management" [Page 28] In regards to River Basins, the WORLD BANK states that 7 "The uses of H2O within a river basin or aquifer are interdependent. Pollution by one user affects others in the basin, especially located downstream. All users of H2O are to agree to the 'rules of the game' (i.e. User Associations). " [At first glance this sounds like it makes sense. i.e. everybody working together to have clean water etc. However, remember that, the WORLD BANK creates the rules. And like the satirical version of the "Golden Rule" motto "He who has the gold, makes the rules."
In this case, "He who has the water makes the rules", and rules your life ... That is unless you've discovered a way to get along without water!]
"If the land owners will not join a User Association, then the government WILL impose REGULATIONS, TAXES, or BOTH. This would improve the social value of H20 resources". In other words, The WORLD BANK will use the government as its POLICE FORCE! (Once again, remember George Orwell's warning)
The following is a quote by Carl Bloice, a close friend of Mikhail Gorbachev, and a leading U.S. Communist. He was the Associate Editor and Moscow correspondent for the People's Daily World. "The Environmental Movement promises to bring greater numbers into our orbit than the 'Peace Movement' ever did."

An Analysis of THE WORLD BANK* WATER POLICY
*(International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) which was originally set up to rebuild Europe after the devastation of World War II.
Why does the World Bank have its hands in everybody's business and personal life around the world?
Remember George Orwell's warning when reading any document: "You can read people's intentions by their use of the language. If the words are so long and fuzzy that we cannot understand what is being said, or if we can surmise that they are saying nothing at all . .
. . . we can be fairly sum the speaker is trying to swindle us!"

These WORLD BANK contracts will comply with each country's national objectives which are of course the objectives of the WORLD BANK. The WORLD BANK "objectives" are stipulated in the water project loan agreements for country. The WORLD BANK water projects loans clearly spell out that--"In acceptance of the monies of the WORLD BANK, the countries MUST participate in the international initiatives": i.e. United Nation's Conventions, Treaties, Agreements, and they MUST implement the WORLD BANK Policies on WATER and LAND USE!!!!!! [page 13]
The WORLD BANK Water Resources Management Program is structured similar to a Medieval Feudal system. The WORLD BANK is at the top of the pyramid as the Lord and Master dictating how the water will be used through "Demand Management."
Demand Management consists of:
1. Price-based incentives to enforce low water usage. (How's that for a fancy way to say raise the price to whatever level it takes to achieve the WORLD BANK goals.)
2. Water Rationing.
3. Water restrictions on specific usage. (Determined by the WORLD BANK of course).
Beijing, China is given as an example:
1. Quotas on water consumption
2. Fines on excessive water use
As outrageous as the following may sound, it is a quote by David Rockefeller: "Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high moral and community of purpose. The SOCIAL EXPERIMENT in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history." [Quote after visiting Mao Tse-Tung. . . ."From a China Traveler," New York Times August 10, 1973]. Please read David Rockefeller's quote once more just to get a glimpse into the distorted mind of a true elitist. One wonders how the dead or jailed victims of Tiananmen Square would evaluate Chairman Mao's Social Experiment?
The Framework for the WORLD BANK Water Resource Management is consistent with two documents.
1. The 1992 Dublin, Ireland statement from the International Conference on Water and the Environment (UN). [page 10]
This insidious but "friendly sounding" document has four guiding
principles:
A. The Holistic approach tying social and economic development with Protection of Natural Ecosystems including Land and Water LINKAGES across catchment areas or groundwater aquifers.
B. Use of a "participatory approach" with users, planners, and policy-makers input. (Please be aware that they are talking about the "consensus" method where the final decision has already been decided by the "facilitator" and the participants only function is to be led by the facilitator to say yes to the pre-determined "decision")
C. The women in each community are to be given the "responsibility" for providing, managing, and safeguarding the water according to the WORLD BANK policy. [page 16]
[The WORLD BANK is using the "empowerment of women" as their carrot on a stick to entice the women of the world to go along with the WORLD BANK scheme. The WORLD BANK is using the standard Sun Tzu tactic of "divide and conquer." This can be seen in many areas where a wedge is being driven between men and women]
D. Water has an economic value and is an economic good. [How much water would you use at $ 1.00 per gallon?] .... and if that's not high enough to reduce your total water usage, the WORLD BANK will raise the price to what ever it takes to reduce your water usage to their preset level of 40 liters/person/day. That's 10.57 gallons/person/day for ALL water usage. (from Agenda 21, "Fresh Water") "Full cost recovery" is mandated by the WORLD BANK to properly compensate the "Water Agencies"
2. AGENDA 21 from the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (Earth Summit 11) is using the guiding principle of Demand Management to control the use and distribution of water by: The use of Price, Volume Restrictions, and (Invasive) Regulations.
The WORLD BANK supports land use policies that restore and "protect" the quality of ground water, E.D.I., the Economic Development Institute division of the WORLD BANK, will train and supply the planners, managers, technicians, and country policy analysis. This of course means that "Resettlement of People" will be required. [page 17] [Although the WORLD BANK tries to soft peddle this feature of their plan, it is occurring around the globe.]
The WORLD BANK works with the following U.N. Organizations (page 22] UNDP The UN Development Program.
RE: Water Resource Management
FAO Thee Food & Agricultural Organization.
RE: Sustainable Agriculture
WHO The World Health Organization
RE: Quality of Water
UNICF The UN International Children's Fund.
RE: Rural Communities
WMO The World Meteorological Organization.
RE: Hydro Assessment
UNESCO The UN Educational, Scientific & Cultural Org
RE: Protected Land
UNEP The UN Environmental Program
RE: Protected Ecosystems
UNDESD The UN Dept. of Economic & Social Development
RE: Its Science, Technology, Energy,
Environment, and Natural Resources Division formulates policies
and projects including RURAL WATER SUPPLY, RIVER
BASINS, POLLUTION CONTROL, and hosts the Intersecretariat
Group for water resources.
The largest users of water ----
Agriculture 69% (Worldwide) [page 26]
Agriculture 80% (Third World Countries)
Industry 23%
Household 8%
The WORLD BANK states that Agriculture uses too much water. They also claim that cattle (in fact all gazing animals), are the leading cause of desertification. i.e. turning the land into a desert! [Now this is the largest load of cow pie I've heard in a long time. The "cubicle freaks" who live in the dark bowels of the WORLD BANK and come up with nonsense like this have obviously never been past the city limits. Cow manure is fertilizer. The land grows better with fertilizer. People in the city are more than happy to bring home several bags of this "fertilizer" for their home lawns, flower & vegetable gardens.]
The WORLD BANK claims that farmers & ranchers do not pay enough for water. The most water intensive crops are alfalfa, rice, sugarcane, and corn for silage (livestock feed). [page 301]
The WORLD BANK feels that farmers & ranchers should be charged 300% to 500% more! In addition, the WORLD BANK states that when water is diverted upstream for irrigation and other uses, downstream areas that support "sensitive water dependent ecosystems, including wetlands, become less able to fulfill these valuable biodiversity functions. [page 34]
[That's right folks, all you humans are in the way of the grand plan of the WORLD BANK]
The WORLD BANK calls for the DE-CENTRALIZATION of water management. They claim that the problem is that each different water use is managed by a separate department i.e. irrigation, municipal, power & transportation. Then, in classic "fuzzy" worded language, they call for ecological, social, and economic water system policy & regulations to be dictated by the WORLD BANK. [page 27] [Gee, that sure sounds like centralized management to me!]
The WORLD BANK claims that it is difficult to solve water problems when state or local governments have authority over the water. [page 28] [Those darn constitutional folks are always getting in the way of a tyrant on the march.]
The WORLD BANK feels it would be a lot easier to achieve its goals if a national water agency following the WORLD BANK plan were to run the water policy through lower levels of government, community organizations, private sector units and NGO's. [page 28,30]
I know its hard to wade through the fuzzy language but here we go again.... [page 42]
Per the WORLD BANK; within a decentralized central system, adequate charges ($) would endow the WORLD BANK water entities with operational and financial ($) independence. [It's real easy folks, we pay the water entity for whatever water they will sell us at whatever price they choose. They operate in collaboration with the IUCN with complete impunity.... On January 18, 1996, by Executive Order # 12986, President Clinton gave diplomatic immunity to IUCN, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, and its umbrella land & water organizations..... CAN YOU SPELL TYRANNY ?]
The WORLD BANK wants Institutional Reform. [page 14, 44] They want to ensure that their rules and regulations are coordinated and ENFORCED! They state that historical private and local water rights need to be brought into compliance. [In other words, the WORLD BANK doesn't believe that you know how to use your water properly].
The WORLD BANK states that the rights to water need to be clearly defined, with due concern shown for the interests of indigenous people, the poor, and other disadvantaged groups. [Now that's more fuzzy, snake-tongue talk. Our wonderful Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbett tried to buy the water rights of the Ute Indian Nation for $272 Million! Fortunately the Indians learned their lesson after the beads-for-land-deal. The Ute Indians just said NO!]
The WORLD BANK then goes on to say that they need to be in charge of the water because otherwise, bad people might try to form a water monopoly! [And exactly what would you call what the WORLD BANK is trying to do .... ?] Then the WORLD BANK goes on to repeat that the "River Basin Organizations" need to have "dictatorial" water policy power!
The WORLD BANK points to the French Water System which has been in place for 25 years. There are 6 river basin financial agencies which collect fees, implement policy, and make grants and loans. The 1st fee is based on the amount of water use . The 2nd fee is based on the level of pollution at each point source. The regulation & enforcement is done by National Ministries. [page 46] [This is supposed to be an example of de-centralization???]
Water is rated according to its "usage value". [Page 31, 48] Highest Value Water Usage: Wetlands, Ecosystems, River Fisheries, Deltas [page34] High Value Water Usage: Domestic, Industrial [page 48] Low Value Water Usage: Agriculture [page 31]
Of course the WORLD BANK determines what is high or low value water usage. In order to save water for the wetlands, the WORLD BANK suggests that people, [just us common folks of course], drink processed toilet & sewer water. The WORLD BANK euphemistically refers to this activity as "water reuse in various economic activities." [page73]
The WORLD BANK states that they have increased their focus on issues such as poverty alleviation, resettlement, and women's roles in development. [page 131] [This sure is a massive departure from their initial stated role as rebuilder of war damaged Europe. Again, their actual name is INTERNATIONAL BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT]
The WORLD BANK, using their standard "smoke & mirrors" technique, is promoting women's traditional role in securing water, and their potential role in "educational training" and informed participation in planning development projects. [page 62] [Remember the "retraining" camps in Laos, Cambodia, Viet Nam, and China.]
On page 121 of the WORLD BANK water policy manual they state that their policy is to be open about its activities. [This is totally inconsistent with their actual policy. One is faced with the no admittance statement "FORBIDDEN" when trying to retrieve the WORLD BANK water policy manual on their internet site. After reading their water policy manual I understand why!]
In order to create the illusion that the local or federal government is in charge of the water, the WORLD BANK Water Policy has a section entitled: "The Case for Government Involvement in Water Management" [Page 28] In regards to River Basins, the WORLD BANK states that 7 "The uses of H2O within a river basin or aquifer are interdependent. Pollution by one user affects others in the basin, especially located downstream. All users of H2O are to agree to the 'rules of the game' (i.e. User Associations). " [At first glance this sounds like it makes sense. i.e. everybody working together to have clean water etc. However, remember that, the WORLD BANK creates the rules. And like the satirical version of the "Golden Rule" motto "He who has the gold, makes the rules."
In this case, "He who has the water makes the rules", and rules your life ... That is unless you've discovered a way to get along without water!]
"If the land owners will not join a User Association, then the government WILL impose REGULATIONS, TAXES, or BOTH. This would improve the social value of H20 resources". In other words, The WORLD BANK will use the government as its POLICE FORCE! (Once again, remember George Orwell's warning)
The following is a quote by Carl Bloice, a close friend of Mikhail Gorbachev, and a leading U.S. Communist. He was the Associate Editor and Moscow correspondent for the People's Daily World. "The Environmental Movement promises to bring greater numbers into our orbit than the 'Peace Movement' ever did."
