Klamath Basin
Math Problem

London, Ohio
Math problem for the day (this is Easy):
Take the Klamath Project and all the
farmers/irrigators, families, businesses, and economic
health and vibrancy that have been evidenced in the Klamath
Basin for one hundred years.
Subtract "direct actions" by trained rabble
rousers bent upon breaching all dams.
Subtract the loss of reasonably-priced power
rates (rates given as an incentive to help the Klamath
Project succeed).
Subtract the loss of economic independence
once known by farmers/irrigators, ranchers, the timber
industry, fishermen, et al -- brought about by the onerous
and unconstitutional "Endangered Species Act."
Subtract the loss of demand as products
grown, harvested/produced in the Klamath Basin are undercut
by inferior "quality" products from around the globe.
Subtract the mental, physical and emotional
health of property owners drained by two decades of
incremental resource providing shutdowns.
What do you have left?
Lots and lots of vacant property (of which
land is but a part -- surface and subsurface water, minerals
and other natural resources make up the rest) offered up at
the altar of collateral. Think of the number of "willing
sellers," once all the buyers are gone save one, and that
one sets the amount that will be paid for the property
(Clue: It won't be much, just a few pennies on the dollar.).
Extra bonus question: Who stands to benefit
the most from this?
Answer: Those in charge of the
monetary/banking system, headquartered in Europe.
Inspiration for this:
1. Feds say no more cheap power
2. Mo' Money, Mo' Politics
3. Klamath Dam Removal Advocates Train For
Direct Action Against PacifiCorp
4. Thousands more articles over the past
seven years that prove the fallacy of cooperating
and collaborating, both of which lead to capitulation.
