"The Earth's Most Precious Resource May Be the 21st Century's Most Lucrative Investment! Here's How To Profit from the Coming Fresh Water Shortage!"

What really ticks off the admittedly self-righteous and sometimes easily-provoked Waterblogged.info editorial staff? People 250px-juggernaut_-_project_gutenberg_ebook_11921.jpglike Jeff Siegal, managing editor of the Green Chip Review newsletter, and author of the giddy opening sentences.

Siegal's newsletter-absolutely FREE (Siegal's caps, not ours) -- will give the lucky subscriber (who is, thanks to Siegal's largesse, under absolutely no obligation, ever!) "the foresight and vision to exploit the investment opportunities of a post-oil economy."

Railing against the privatization of water resources at this juncture is pointless. We're talking juggernaut here, in every sense of the word (Well, except this one.

Oh yeah, and this one). Although the belief that privatizing water management is a panacea for our water woes is completely unfounded and absurd, it is too firmly entrenched to be effectively resisted.

Here's a list of some FREE tidbits-no doubt information that insiders don't want you to know-from Siegal's digital gateway to huge profits and great wealth:



  • How worldwide demand for water is already severely outpacing supply...
  • The only 2 ways to capitalize on the water-supply market, including the little-known "Reverse Osmosis" Model...
  • Why the water industry closely resembles the oil industry in its infancy, and how Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi began securing his nation's water supply back in 1991 by funneling water away from Sudan, Chad, and Egypt.

None of this is insider stuff, of course, and Waterblogged.info will reveal all of it FREE in the next posting. We just want to point out that citing the little-known "reverse osmosis" (RO) model is what really exposes Siegal as a huckster: he's referring to one of the two most widely-known and widely-used desalination methods. It requires no special expertise or insider information to know that investments in the businesses that successfully implement large-scale desal will pay off handsomely and that RO looks like the most promising technology.

But that's a risky business, indeed. For background on desal, RO and other technologies, as well as pros and cons, we graciously invite you to view our compendium of web-based desalination resources: Getting serious with Waterblogged.info: Desalination. Need we point out that it's FREE?

Digg!

Richard Heckmann realized that in the '90s. That's why he started U.S. Filter to take over the market for water filters. Now Vivendi owns it and hes sitting pretty.

They decided it was too expensive, and decided to steal water rights elsewhere. They drained at least one recreational lake, turned another into an alkali flat that sends powder into the air for hundreds of miles when the wind kicks up, and stole the rights to the water in a mountain recreation area. There's still shooting around that because people have to pay to drink their own water - pumped back from L.A.!

Now that it looks like it'll be profitable, a billion or two is a small investment. And guess where the profit comes from - as always?

how they can DUMP SUGAR & make MORE MONEY selling people BACK the water they paid for from their MUNICIPAL services.

Ask GUATEMALA or INDIA how well this water privatization & corporatization works out...

Drain Canada
New Coca-Cola Water Deal Omits India...
AlterNet: Water: We Face Worldwide Drought with No Contingency Plan

meanwhile, in cities like PHOENIX? the homeless die of THIRST in an urban environment.
think about that. even the ROMANS knew to provide WATER.


remember: from WHERE did DeLay get his backing?

SUGARLAND TEXAS. home of BigSugar. you know, the same folks who invaded Haiti & Cuba... for slavery & sugar plantations... the same sugar plantations that are destroying the Florida ecology...

The Real Problem is Humans

We are such a fucked-up species. We destroy everything in the name of profits. We are like the "Ferengi" on Star Trek living under the "rules of acquisition". In the end we will destroy ourselves. What is really bad about this situation is that the true perpetrators of the destruction of this planet amount to less than one percent of the population. We should rise up and slaughter them now; and figure out how to live on this planet in harmony with nature. This will preserve our existence on this planet for possibly another million years. First and foremost we need to do away with separate governments, monetary systems and the world’s worse enemy - religion. All humans must participate and those who don’t should be put to the sword also. It won’t be pretty; but in the end we can save humanity and preserve our species. We have the technology to feed the world, but it is not profitable; there fore we have starvation. We have the technology to house; clothe; ensure simple things like water is available to all, but again, not profitable. Things like governments and religion only serve to separate us. We must take action or we will leave our future generations in turmoil fighting for food and water to survive.
