How Serious Is The California Drought?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

A picture paints a thousand words... but these 3 before-and-after images in California (over a period of just 3 years) suggest only 3 words - "What a Disaster"

Let the socialist scum die of dehydration. No one in Cali would give a fuck if I was thirsty. I would say cry me a river, but, can a dehydrated socialist cry?

quietdude, would that be the socialist scum working busily at Hewlett-Packard?

Or is it the soviet that runs Apple?

Maybe the Maoist revolutionaries at Occidental Petroleum?

Or the neo-Marxists that work at Google?

I love all of the comments that claim that California is socialist in spite of the evidence that it's one of the most successful examples of capitalism in the world, not only the state with the largest GDP, but also an above average GDP per capita (currently 19th).

Was it the California chapter of the Shining Path that helped pass Proposition 13 in a popular referendum, cutting the property tax rate down to 1% and gutting funding for public education in the process?

Or rather the leftist dystopia that elected Reagan as governor and Nixon as Senator?

Socialists indeed.  But don't let the evidence get in the way of your abstract beliefs about what is or is not socialism.  We wouldn't want reality getting in the way of your contribution to the unecessary polarization of American politics.

Q. Where can I best view these things called Chemtrails?
 
A. You may witness them everywhere in America but particularly in the American Southwest.
 
Q. Okay, I've looked up and seen contrails that don't disappear, but instead widen and whiten the sky like cirrus cloud plumes. So what?
 
A. Independent researchers have found that those man-made plumes contain toxic chemicals, thus they have been given the name Chemtrails. These airborne toxins affect your health. Ask yourself: Why are more Americans suffering from respiratory disease or dying of cancer at an earlier age when fewer people smoke, when modern cars spew less air pollution, when more people drink bottled water? Could it be the air we breathe?
 
Q. If these Chemtrails are so evident, why don't educated people in America see and question them?
 
A. Educated people in America are programmed from an early age to keep their heads down and focus on a narrow range of scholastics rather than cause friction. Advanced degrees require 5-10 years of extra diligence in order to achieve success and thus ensure personal wealth & prosperity. Advanced degrees carry an aura of supreme intelligence here in America. Thus the mindset becomes: if smart and successful, highly-paid government scientists do not question lines and grids in the sky, why should I?
 
Q. Yes, but doesn't everyone look up?
 
A. No, almost no one looks up.

I first heard about chemtrails right before i started flying airplanes and before i earned a degree in meteorology. I soon realized chemtrails are bullshit and alex jones is particularly dangerous because 95% of what he says is true, but the rest are outright bullshit lies.

Lies mixed with truth are far more damaging than pure lies.

Look around. We really don't need any more reasons to convince people the gov doesn't have our interest in mind. So let's drop this chemtrail business because it is 100% false.

Pentagon Program Promotes Psychopharmacological Warfare In The Futurological Congress (1971), Polish writer Stanislaw Lem portrayed a future in which disobedience is controlled with hypothetical mind-altering chemicals dubbed "benignimizers". Lem's fictional work opens with the frightening story of a police and military biochemical attack on protesters outside of an international scientific convention. As the environment becomes saturated with hallucinogenic agents, in Lem's tale the protesters (and bystanders) descend into chaos, overcome by delusions and feelings of complacency, self-doubt, and even love.

Whats the state of Central Valley Agriculture? I've heard it's in the shit.

Fact is American SW is a very dry place and weather cycles were very, very, very wet the last 100 years, something very unusual and due to end, just by the normal cycles.

Like I said before, only an El Nino can save California, and that fucker has got everyone stumped. First to grows at record rates, and then fizzels out. Trade winds are the secret, and they did pick up again which tends to kill El Nino.

California was developed in freak conditions of abundent rainfall, and snowfall in the Mountains, plus heavy El Nino winters on a regular bases. Most climate evidence says the cycles are now against a return to the wet and a return to the long term normal, dry as fucking hell.

They're probably draining it off under the guise of it being a drought and selling it to the Chinese

Then on the backside they're playing the market for the upcoming impacts

My cousin lives in southern Cali, he said their water supply is fine, they are are actually dumping a lot access in the ocean. They are actually dumping access water in Washington also into the ocean because it smells bad, it's probably from Japan. Sounds like the Cali govt needs another union project, water pipelines, watch for a GDP explosion, problem solved

I'm guessing that there's a lot of wastage that could be reclaimed, long before things like hydroponics become necessary. Just for example - they use this water to grow RICE, fer chrissakes.  Arugula, brocolli, celery, tomatoes - we all like to be able to eat those things fresh in February. But rice?

When she gets tired of our abuse, she simply kicks us off the planet.

How's that referendum going on splitting up the state?

I remember years ago, when I lived in So Cal, that a magazine had interviewed both Northern and Southern Calif. on how to split up the state.

Interestingly both sides drew the line at about the same location, other than both sides had Sacramento on the other side.

Awesome, thanks for the post...

The North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA) is the most comprehensive of a series of plans developed during the 1950s and 1960s to capture and redistribute fresh water in Alaska and Canada. NAWAPA would deliver large quantities of water to water-poor areas of Canada, the lower forty-eight states of the United States of America, and Mexico.

We're too busy policing the world and saving the dollar to undertake such a project that would actually benefit the USA directly...

As a Canadian, watching what America has done the last 20 years, what makes you think we want to give water to people who desire to live in a desert to feed swimming pools, golf courses and so on?

I suggest they move to places in America, somewhere behind the new Iron Curtain they call a border to places they do have water.  I think us Canucks better keep our natural resources for our children and grand children.

As a US citizen, watching the same thing, I couldn't agree more.  However, when Californians migrate anywhere, they screw things up beyond all reckoning.  I assert that they stay in California, and die in place.

I am dismayed with our popular culture.  I don't watch TV, and haven't for about 4 or 5 years now, and it's seemingly the only thing anybody talks about.  Kids with iPhones that have more computing capabilities than the Apollo spacecraft...and they take selfies.  Amazing really.

Have fun blaming chemtrails for this one guys...

Let's ignore the fact that no one has taken water management or ecology seriously, like ever...and Americans have a habit of building cities in blatantly unsuitable places. This was avoidable bit no one could be bothered to think about a proper solution. Fuck irrigation, what this county needs is moar strip malls and burger joints.

But indeed a vast conspiracy involving thousands of people from all walks of life, including most of the scientific establishment and the worlds airline industry and, indeed, established scientific facts (such as condensation) on combination with a vast campaign where ordinary citizens are programmed to accept certain facts (succeeding where all other attempts to do this is history have failed) by an evil government which has managed to keep this program alive and secret through several adminstrations and indeed generations of government workers...

Indeed, imagining that is a lot more fun than admitting that people (leaders and voters together) have been stupid, ignorant and shortsighted in addressing something they could've seen coming from miles ahead....something like that has of course never happened in american history. It must be chemtrails and a secret weapons straight outta the Thunderbirds... That is by far the most obvious and reasonable assumption. Climate change is a lie because the bible mentions rain will come!

Ovomit will let in another 5 to 10 million latinos and finish off the state's water supply.  They won't even have enough water in the reservoirs to fight the brushfires being set by the "friendly" hordes of murdering muscum parasites Ovomit is sponsoring into the country with his unprotected borders.

Cloward Piven being instituted as we speak.

Way to go America.  Elections have consequences.  This Ovomit mistake may well be our last.  Prepare your family to be beheaded by your "Peace-loving" muscum neighbors.

Prepare your children to be taken hostage and murdered by muscums while attending our "gun-free" (that is defenseless) local schools.  Don't worry, your local police will be there to clean-up the bloody mess after the slaughter of your children.

Ovomit and Evil Eric Holder will only take 15 or 20 years to prosecute the murdering muscums and send them to Bermuda to serve their 90 day prison sentences on the beach.
