We spit out the KBRA
To the Editor:
Congressman McClintock is a Statesman, not a politician. He uses common sense and fiscal responsibility. We need ALL of our Supervisors to do the same and NOT vote for the KBRA, (Klammath Basin Restoration Agreement). If they do, it will put them (as well as We The People) in a compromised position in which they cannot have a say on our dams.
If Mr. Cook or any other BOS wants the possible $20 million which the bond may bring them, $20 million is nothing compared to how valuable the dams are in maintaining water quality and levels in the Klammath and the value of the homes along the river and elsewhere as a tax base.
We have had these Environmental groups or NGO's, (Non-Governmental Organizations) in the United Nations since 1946. In 1992 they joined in with the Biodiversity Treaty to save the pristine areas in the United States for Posterity. They call their plan for changing America into Wilderness, The Wilderness Project, or Network, and they are using the Endangered Species Act and the Environmental Protection Agency to do so. They also have a Ramsar Convention on Wetlands Project and more than likely have their eyes on the Tulelake area! They have corrupted the hearts and minds of many people, with sob stories and outright lies about some of the animals, birds, fish and forests, in their goal to make 55% of America a Wilderness, along with the world. To do this they must depopulate 80 to 90% of the humans who are causing all the problems of which they speak. See http://sweetliberty.org/issues/rewilding/mission.html The forests have burned because of all the lawsuits the NGO's have put against cleaning up the underbrush and thinning out the trees.
The Klamath River has been polluted since its birth because of volcanic activity in this whole area. The cause is the subduction of Juan de Fuca and Gorda plates which create the volcanoes in the Cascade range as well as make them erupt. The NGO's say the dams are causing all this pollution and the algae. The Truth points to the fact that the dams "purify" the water. There are warm springs flowing into the Klamath, caused by volcanic activity. The Klamath is a warm and shallow river and that is what creates the harmless algae which can be removed.
But that is not in the plans of the NGO's. They want to rewild the whole area and make the people move. They printed a picture where they painted the river an emerald green showing how bad the algae was.
History shows the health of many of the Indigenous tribes along the Klamath in California, was poor. See George Gibbs Report,1851 Journal of McKee's Klamath Expedition.
Now, we have the Department of Interior and all of their departments, the President and Congress representing the NGO's and doing their bidding, along with too many uninformed people who side with them. Are we just going to sit there and let them destroy our ability to own land and water, to grow food and let them decide to take away our freedoms of what to do with it? We Will NOT swallow the KBRA, we spit it out!
