My Opera27 Feb - End of an Era ?

Surfing on Current, I noticed JanforGore and followed her choices.
The Water Front
What if you lived by the largest body of fresh water in the world, but could no longer afford to use it ?
WATER IS LIFE
Drought
The Water Front
Australian PM warned over Hell to Highwater state
Water : another global 'crisis' ? drought in East Africa
Factor in the Human Development Index : strongest water and sanitation
Russian and Central Asian water- hydropower projects in poor states will impact downstream countries
( International Rivers details the downside of establishing water control systems. LEVEES.ORGdetails infrastructure degradation in the U.S. Flooding problems in NOLA and Houston hurricanes would fall into damage caused by neglect : also in river systems. Because JanforGore follows water access/environmental activities - including the Murray River in Australia for instance, where damming has proceeded despite a supposed moratorium - I thought her insights valuable.
Now I get onto my political worries, but before I do that let me give you the latest on Monsanto's effect on renewable resources and a possible alleviating treatment - part of which is criminalized via drug law according to current policies - Afghanistan included !
Genetically engineered foods
Loss of biodiversity is the greatest danger of monoculture. For one thing, after a while new biological attacks will evolve that prey on a plant with specific weaknesses. You find the same thing on the bacterial level in a cheese plant, where culture is changed on a daily basis to prevent phage from killing the culture ! What can happen is that suddenly a crop or species will become destroyed - as happened in the Irish potato famine.
Hemphasis
Hemp helps detoxify and regenerate the soil
I hope I have your attention. Corporate farming did not just spring into the world unbidden. This blog post will not track the disasters engendered in South and Central America by the policies of Nelson Rockefeller, the banking industry and the C.I.A. That information should be accessible enough to those who know to look for it.
Most are so accustomed to the old story of how North America was stolen that it is unremarkable that the state controls access to different places. I have also brought you through a quick trip touching lightly on policies which could not be more destructive if they were deliberately engineered. They affect water, an ongoing immediate necessity, and food, obviously more of the same. Control of essentials of life is a special kind of monopoly : a slave empire : something which dominates the history of our planet for most of it. Here's how it works
Hydraulic Empire
This is crazy. Well, you should think so. But the U.S. government - governments worldwide including in Canada, the U.K. and Australia - seem to have made a sea change from one kind of government to another. It's just not the commonly recognized kind.Plutocracy became radicalized to kleptocracy
I think it's clear : no matter what happens, the status quo is not just untenable - it's impossible. The thing is, people will agree 'something needs to be done'. And we will never be more vulnerable to destruction than when those proven by experience not to have our interests at heart are authorized to expand policies sure to inflict grievous harm via martial law. This is not an academic question. Time is less than short, despite years of preparation : Iraqi academics assassinated during the U.S. Occupation
Fox News is already beating the drums warning of popular revolt : and a supposedly progressive President has done little if anything to bring torturers and war criminal madmen to justice : the reverse is true.
Fox News suggests a civil war may be justified
