    I thought these two quotes in the article were especially significant. The question remains who is profiting or getting poised to profit from the drought... and especially worth asking would be what has long perfected HAARP technology been doing to help who.... or not help who all these years? Patents would be very revealing.

    ".....Water “the petroleum for the next century”

    We also have to consider the trend of water becoming a commodity in and of itself. When something is in short supply with high demand, the situation is ripe for corruption, exploitation and profit. Wall Street has seen the writing on the wall for years now and is cashing in on the potential by purchasing aquifers, lakes and water rights. In a report for Global Research, The New “Water Barons”: Wall Street Mega-Banks are Buying up the World’s Water, writer Jo-Shing Yang explains:

    “In 2008, Goldman Sachs called water “the petroleum for the next century” and those investors who know how to play the infrastructure boom will reap huge rewards, during its annual “Top Five Risks” conference. Water is a US $425 billion industry, and a calamitous water shortage could be a more serious threat to humanity in the 21st century than food and energy shortages, according to Goldman Sachs’s conference panel.”

    Reporter Paul Gallagher elaborates further, in a July 2015 article entitled
    Is California’s Water Supply Being ‘Enronned’:

    “Over the past 30 years, global financial firms have pushed for the privatization of public water supply systems all over the world, and in the past 15 years they have developed exchange-listed “water price indices” to introduce “trading floors” into the world of populations’ water supplies…“In the midst of the California drought emergency, the huge multinational Nestlé, seller of bottled water to the world, is providing one example of what must be stopped. Gov. Jerry Brown, while cutting public water use 25% by order in Sacramento, as in the rest of the state, has placed no limitation on Nestlé’s withdrawal of freshwater from aquifer springs nearby. Nestlé… continues to draw water at an 80 million gallon/year rate, paying 2 or 3 cents/gallon; it bottles the water in Sacramento, and sells it for roughly $16/gallon-equivalent to the city’s population, which has had its tap water use restricted.”

    Water is at the heart of our basic survival, food is next, then shelter. All three are being controlled by unconscious, destructive, power hungry greed, and I see evidence of it in Sonoma County, and we are powerless against it. I recommend reading "Collapsing Consciously ~ Transformative Truths for Turbulent Times by Carolyn Baker.
