You Will Own Nothing—Not Even Access To Drinking Water—And Be Happy

Long before power-drunk, megalomaniac World Economic (WEF) top pooh-bah Klaus Schwab came out of the shadows as unelected ‘Leader of the World’, his self-admitted mentor UN Poster Boy, Canadian Maurice Strong was laying out the groundwork for putting Schwab, along with the UN in complete control of the world’s water supply.

A prime member of the Water Barons who started hogging the water, Strong predicted as far back as 2003 that water would someday have to be rationed by armed guards as soon as 2031.

“Exactly how Strong, who is a businessman and not a scientist, can make such a prediction is an unknown factor.” (The Water Barons, CFP, May 26, 2003).

The legacy Strong left for Schwab, a man described by the WEF leader as “my mentor since the creation of the Forum,” is now coming to pass in 2023.

"I am deeply saddened that Maurice Strong passed away yesterday at the age of 86"-Schwab, Nov. 29, 2015. "He was one of the most extraordinary personalities I ever met. "He deeply incorporated the World Economic Forum's mission of improving the state of the world into everything he did. He was a great visionary, always ahead of our times in his thinking. He was my mentor since the creation of the Forum: a great friend; an indispensable advisor; and, for many years, a member of our Foundation Board. Without him, the Forum would not have achieved its present significance.”(Canada Free Press, Dec. 6, 2020 )

Within the space of a single day last March, with little to zero media attention, the WEF ganged up with the UN to control access to human water supply:

“For the first time in almost 50 years, the United Nations is convening a three-day conference in New York to consider the global water situation and the progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) contained in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. (Water is a common good not a commodity: UN experts, March 22, 2023)

“We welcome the efforts by the United Nations, Member States, right-holders and other stakeholders from all parts of the world to gather in New York and work together for advancing the global water agenda. Progress on SDG 6 – clean water and sanitation for all - can only happen effectively if communities and their human rights are at the center of the discussions, especially by hearing the voices of those that endure discrimination, marginalisation, poverty and situations of vulnerability.

“Water is a human right. It needs to be managed as a common good. Considering water as a commodity or a business opportunity will leave behind those that cannot access or afford the market prices. Commodification of water will derail achievement of the SDGs and hamper efforts to solve the global water crisis, already further exacerbated by the triple planetary crisis: climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and toxic pollution, affecting the life and health of billions around the world.”

That was the UN announcement on March 21, 2023. On March 22, 2023, the WEF announced:

‘Global freshwater demand will exceed supply 40% by 2030, experts warn’-(Global freshwater demand will exceed supply 40% by 2030, experts warn, March 22, 2023)

“Water should be managed as a common good not a commodity, UN experts* said today. They urged States to ensure that human rights and water defenders be placed at the core of the discussions during the first UN conference focusing on water in nearly five decades. The experts issued the following statement ahead of the UN 2023 Water Conference (22-24 March).

“The human rights to water and sanitation are clear illustrations of the indivisibility, interrelatedness and interdependency of human rights and are vital for achieving an adequate standard of living. Whether looking at physical security of women and girls, discrimination against Indigenous Peoples, peasants, minorities or to the human rights to health, adequate housing, a clean, healthy and sustainable environment, education, and many others, all are intimately linked to water and sanitation.

• We are facing an unprecedented water crisis, with global freshwater demand predicted to exceed supply by 40% by 2030, says the UN.
• A new report puts forth urgent actions humans must take collectively to stop the imminent water crisis.
• It provides seven crucial recommendations, says EcoWatch, including managing the planet’s water cycle as a common good and stopping the underpricing of water.

Then who, pray tell is going to produce their obsessive wind turbines and batteries?

“The scientific evidence is that we have a water crisis. We are misusing water, polluting water, and changing the whole global hydrological cycle, through what we are doing to the climate. It’s a triple crisis,” Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research Johan Rockstrom, who is co-chair of the Global Commission on the Economics of Water (GCEW), told The Guardian. (WEF)

“According to the report, governments must stop providing agricultural subsidies for the extraction and overuse of water, reported The Guardian. The reckless and wasteful operations of heavy industry like mining and manufacturing must also cease.

“The authors of the report point out that water must begin to be managed by countries as a common good, since most depend on each other for the essential resource, and its pollution and overuse threatens the world’s water supplies.(WEF)

“The GCEW report provides seven crucial recommendations, including managing the planet’s water cycle as a common good, stopping the underpricing of water, phasing out $700 billion in subsidies for agriculture and water and enabling investments in water sustainability, access and resilience in low- and middle-income nations through the establishment of Just Water Partnerships.

“Clean and adequate water for all vulnerable populations, as well as the restoration of wetlands, depleted groundwater supplies and other freshwater systems should also be prioritized, the report said.

The media is telling world masses that the water crisis is because of Global Warming.

They will never tell world masses that the same sources voicing alarm about the imminent scarcity of H20 just happen to be the same ones who strive to own it.

“Strong claims that he didn’t know there was a massive aquifer under the 100,000-acre Baca ranch he and his wife Hannah once owned. The ranch, sold by Strong to flamboyant businessman Gary Boyce, and now owned by the Nature Conservancy, includes 14,154-foot Kit Carson Peak in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and extends a dozen miles south to Great Sand Dunes National Monument. The Baca is part of the upper San Luis Valley, which in turn sits above an immense amount of sediment extending two to six miles deep and holding--at least 2 billion acre-feet of water. That’s 50 times the combined capacity of Lake Powell and Lake Mead, according to High Country News writer Ed Quillen. (The Water Barons, CFP, May 26, 2003)

“Strong is not alone in the exploitation of the precious liquid by which the entire human species survives.

“Experts, who predict that the water crisis will hit much sooner, say that by the year 2025 the world will be suffering the dramatic effects of--hydrological poverty. They share the Maurice Strong view that there will be great disputes, and even wars, over water.

"Failure to act could damage the planet irreversibly, unleashing a spiral of increased hunger, deprivation, disease, and squalor," states Nexus Magazine.

“There’s even a name for the timeline for the water crisis. It’s called "zero hour."

“Sound like something out of a science fiction novel?

“Consider what Nexus has to say about the status quo of H20.

"Already, 26 countries have more people than their water supplies can adequately support. Tensions are mounting over scarce water supplies in the Middle East, and could ignite during this decade. Competition for water is intensifying between city dwellers and farmers around Beijing, New Delhi, Phoenix, and other water-short areas."

“In 1996, the World Water Council, a private think-tank, was formed. The founding members were Egypt’s Ministry of Public Works and Water Resources, the Canadian International Development Agency, and the French transnational water corporation Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux.(The Water Barons)

“At a 1998 meeting held in Washington, D.C., the World Water Council appointed a group of commissioners to turn the United Nations-controlled World Water Vision into reality. The membership of the World Water Commission reads like a who’s who of the ruling elite, and included in its high profile commissions is--Maurice Strong.

“Environmental groups have tied up much of the land in the Western United States. Indeed it was in 2000 that the Nature Conservancy, which the Washington Post says is now "the world’s richest environmental group, amassing $3 billion in assets by pledging to save precious places" that acquired the 100,000 Baca Ranch as the final step toward creating the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado.

“The Nature Conservancy, which uses the soothing voice of actor Paul Newman in its advertisements, is gaining notoriety for its practice of buying private land and then selling it to the federal government at substantial mark up.

"These environmental groups tie up land owners in court who wish to develop their land, costing untold court costs and attorney fees, wearing the land owner down until he/she is willing to sell at a sacrificed price to get out from under the pressure," says Betty Freauf of NewsWithViews. "Now that they have much of the land in Western United States tied up, I’ve noticed they are beginning to focus on water quality.”

“Would you trust these water barons with your water supply?”

Isn’t it time for world citizens to be demanding to know is this what WEFer Klaus Schwab means when he boldly claims: “You will own nothing and be happy”?
