Scientists Warn California Could Be Struck By Winter ‘Superstorm’

However, if there were a similar storm today, I don’t know if they could handle the floodwaters.

Did I mention channel dredging? As to whether the dams can handle it, obviously not, the point is that it would mitigate the problem somewhat. The real floods in the Central Valley are when a warm rain falls on a heavy snow-pack.

Whether there is a real threat or not, I promise you, this is a cooked up scare scenario intended to enrich a small and very closed group of developers.

When is this suppose to hit?

Now that the big real estate crooks in the RINO-CRAT Party (Times Mirror and Southern Pacific in particular) have used the Delta Smelt to take farmland at pennies on the dollar from those who've held it for forty years hoping to do the same thing, now that they've assured a massive profit on "insta-cities," adjacent to the stops along their massive and publicly-subsidized "high-speed-rail" project, now they want existing taxpayers to pony up for the cost of flood control so that they can build houses on otherwise economically undevelopable land and cash in. It's flat. It's cheap. Let's build. Here comes another 20 million people.

You and I talked about this years ago. At the time, I was only able to grasp pieces of it. It has been absolutely fascinating (and frightening) to watch how they have manipulated the system to have all the cards fall into place. IMO, organized crime is alive and well (of the political/wealth-building variety, not necessarily the wiseguy variety, although they do intersect oftentimes.)

They are making a “long list of things to worry about.” That’s funny. It is no wonder our government has turned into the sick uncle. Global warming chicken littles and all possible terrorist plot schemers have driven the Federal and State governments paranoid and nuts. This is why cops are shooting pets./s/

I wish it would hurry up already!

This little scam has been in the works since before the California Water Project. Guess who was governor? LOL!

If you read Parts IV & V of natural process, it describes a little scam using septic and zoning regulations that worked exactly the same way, with small time land speculators being screwed out of their investments after holding the bag for thirty years. While I was writing the book, I interviewed a guy who had been here since the town of Scotts Valley first started to develop. Noting the scam in progress and telling him where I expected it to go, I asked him if there were politicians out there smart enough to see that far ahead. He said, "No, but there ARE people out there who are that smart, and you'd better be careful."

In retrospect, I'd seen the same act in Contra Costa in the 1960s, North San Diego County in the 70's, the "Inland Empire" and along the I-15 corridor in the '80s, Palmdale and Victorville in the '90s... Seeing the game on a bigger scale after that was a no-brainer.

I guess one thing that got me going on this whole thing back in the early '90s was that fundamental question: "Why would anybody want to buy a tract house in Fontana?" ;-) There was anger of witnessing what had happened to Walnut Creek between 1960 and 1980, watching a two lane country road go to a twelve land expressway. But it was remembering my dad talking about a bond financing project for a 200 year flood control system out in Riverside that got me to thinking. BART was another clue, as I remembered how it was developers who had bought land near the proposed station sites that had driven the initial bond issue.

Corporate welfare is where it's at. It doesn't matter if it is Democrats or RINOS, they're both hard at it.
