I think this is worth your time reading, If the UN Controls the Water - they control everything including "Life itself".

In 1993, the World Bank published a Policy
Paper, titled, "Water Resources
Management." The intent of the water
management laid out in the Policy Paper, is to
gain control of humanity by gaining control of
the water.
The following Analysis of the World Bank's
Policy Paper was written by a friend of
Rumor Mill News. This is the first time it has
been released on the Internet. It was
scanned, using an OCR program. It has been
proofed many times. Hopefully, all the
mistakes were caught.
This is an extremely important article --
please send it far and wide --

An Analysis
of
THE WORLD BANK* WATER POLICY
*(International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development) which
was originally set up to rebuild Europe after
the devastation of
World War II.
Why does the World Bank have its hands in
everybody's business
and personal life around the world?
Remember George Orwell's warning when
reading any document:
"You can read people's intentions by their use
of the language. If
the words are so long and fuzzy that we
cannot understand what is
being said, or if we can surmise that they are
saying nothing at all . .
. . . we can be fairly sum the speaker is
trying to swindle us!"
Well folks. . the international elitists are
calling for what they say is a
new approach to how they manage your
water. In fact their plan
calls for managing your water, your land, and
you!
The WORLD BANK "claims" that their overall
objective is to
reduce poverty. Now that's very interesting.
Why is the WORLD
BANK involved in "social engineering"?
In fact, all of the WORLD BANK programs are
involved in
redistribution of land, resources and wealth!
It would appear that the
wonderful folks at the WORLD BANK are
ignoring the truism --
"Give a man a fish and feed him for a day ...
teach him how to fish
and he will learn to feed himself."
Of course if their real objective is to starve
all of us, they're on the
right track to:
Land starvation, Resources starvation, and
Wealth starvation!
Who does the WORLD BANK blame for all this
poverty and
starvation? Why, all the current governments
of course.
The WORLD BANK specifically points out the
total
mismanagement of water by all the
governments. Explaining of
course that the BANK is destined to be the
savior of the water. . All
the water ... Everywhere!
The WORLD BANK will use "Estimated
Opportunity
Costs"(EOC)* to set the price for water!
*The WORLD BANK defines EOC as"the value of
goods or
services forgone, including goods and
services, when a scarce
resource is used for one purpose instead of
for its next best
alternative use"
How's that for a mouthful of fuzzy words? ....
Heed George
Orwell's warning!
The WORLD BANK "claims" that all the current.
governments
have the following faults:
1 . Mis-allocate and waste water. [page 9]
2. Permit damage to the environment due to
weak and distorted
policies.
3. Neglect financial accountability. [page27]
4. Neglect user participation.
5. Charge too low a price for water. (They
aren't charging for
"Estimated Opportunity Costs.")
6. Ineffective delivery of water to users,
especially the poor.
[page 12]
7. Operate under centralized structure.
The WORLD BANK then makes the following
proclamations:
1 . Water is essential for life. (Now here's a
bold statement of the
obvious!)
2. Water has an Economic Value and is
recognized as an Economic
Good. (p. 24]
3. Water is a scarce natural resource. [page
21]
(I believe the old saying is: "Figures don't lie
but LIARS figure." i.e.
using half truths.)
Get ready for all kind of "fees" regarding
water ...
Especially since the WORLD BANK will be
certain to charge a
"high enough proper" price for water. (And
you thought Perrier was
expensive!)
1. SOCIAL FEES: Those who have worked hard
to better
themselves will have to come up with
subsidies for the poor.
[pages 15, 72]
2 BENEFIT TAXES: If you receive any benefit
whatsoever
from your land, you will be taxed on that
"benefit." [page 85]
3. POLLUTION CHARGES: You will be charged a
pollution tax
for any pollution on your land. [page 16]
[The poop left by your pet on your land is
going to cost you big
time!]
The WORLD BANK wants to terminate, (with
extreme prejudice),
the federal structure in all countries. The
WORLD BANK will not
permit sovereign states within a "Federal
Structure" to have any
authority over the water. The WORLD BANK
plans to do this by
replacing all country and state political
boundaries with geographical
RIVER BASINS BOUNDARIES. [page 28,71]
The WORLD BANK plan calls for the transfer by
contract of all
water jurisdiction by governments to Private
Corporations and "User
Associations" These corporations and user
associations will of
course be mandated to meet all WORLD BANK
regulations and
prohibitions. [page 11]
[These "Private" entities will operate at the
River Basin level. States
will NOT have any control. Please note that a
"river basin" includes
all surface and underground water flowing
into a common area.
They simply march from the wetlands, up the
river, up the
streams, to the headwaters which are
typically runoff or springs.
This includes any water in the ground along
the way, and any land
which would allow water to run into the river
basin "area". By the
way, the WORLD BANK requires an
environmental impact and
assessment of the entire river basin system.
The "river basin"
organizations will be assisted by the Global
Environmental Facility
in collaboration with UNDP, the United Nations
Development
Program.] [page 14,19]
These WORLD BANK contracts will comply with
each country's
national objectives which are of course the
objectives of the
WORLD BANK. The WORLD BANK "objectives"
are stipulated
in the water project loan agreements for
country. The WORLD
BANK water projects loans clearly spell out
that--
"In acceptance of the monies of the WORLD
BANK, the countries
MUST participate in the international
initiatives": i.e. United
Nation's Conventions, Treaties, Agreements,
and they MUST
implement the WORLD BANK Policies on WATER
and LAND
USE!!!!!! [page 13]
The WORLD BANK Water Resources
Management Program is
structured similar to a Medieval Feudal
system. The WORLD
BANK is at the top of the pyramid as the Lord
and Master dictating
how the water will be used through "Demand
Management."
Demand Management consists of:
1. Price-based incentives to enforce low
water usage. (How's that
for a fancy way to say raise the price to
whatever level it takes to
achieve the WORLD BANK goals.)
2. Water Rationing.
3. Water restrictions on specific usage.
(Determined by the
WORLD BANK of course).
Beijing, China is given as an example:
1. Quotas on water consumption
2. Fines on excessive water use
As outrageous as the following may sound, it
is a quote by David
Rockefeller:
"Whatever the price of the Chinese
Revolution, it has obviously
succeeded not only in producing more
efficient and dedicated
administration, but also in fostering high
moral and community of
purpose. The SOCIAL EXPERIMENT in China
under Chairman
Mao's leadership is one of the most
important and successful in
human history."
[Quote after visiting Mao Tse-Tung. . . ."From
a China Traveler,"
New York Times August 10, 1973]
Please read David Rockefeller's quote once
more just to get a
glimpse into the distorted mind of a true
elitist. One wonders how
the dead or jailed victims of Tiananmen
Square would evaluate
Chairman Mao's Social Experiment?
The Framework for the WORLD BANK Water
Resource
Management is consistent with two
documents.
1. The 1992 Dublin, Ireland statement from
the International
Conference on Water and the Environment
(UN). [page 10]
This insidious but "friendly sounding"
document has four guiding
principles:
A. The Holistic approach tying social and
economic development
with Protection of Natural Ecosystems
including Land and Water
LINKAGES across catchment areas or
groundwater aquifers.
B. Use of a "participatory approach" with
users, planners, and
policy-makers input. (Please be aware that
they are talking about the
"consensus" method where the final decision
has already been
decided by the "facilitator" and the
participants only function is to
be led by the facilitator to say yes to the
pre-determined "decision")
C. The women in each community are to be
given the
"responsibility" for providing, managing, and
safeguarding the water
according to the WORLD BANK policy. [page
16]
[The WORLD BANK is using the "empowerment
of women" as
their carrot on a stick to entice the women of
the world to go along
with the WORLD BANK scheme. The WORLD
BANK is using
the standard Sun Tzu tactic of "divide and
conquer." This can be
seen in many areas where a wedge is being
driven between men and
women]
D. Water has an economic value and is an
economic good. [How
much water would you use at $ 1.00 per
gallon?] .... and if that's not
high enough to reduce your total water
usage, the WORLD BANK
will raise the price to what ever it takes to
reduce your water usage
to their preset level of 40 liters/person/day.
That's 10.57
gallons/person/day for ALL water usage.
(from Agenda 21, "Fresh
Water") "Full cost recovery" is mandated by
the WORLD BANK to
properly compensate the "Water Agencies"
2. AGENDA 21 from the 1992 United Nations
Conference on
Environment and Development (Earth Summit
11) is using the
guiding principle of Demand Management to
control the use and
distribution of water by:
The use of Price, Volume Restrictions, and
(Invasive) Regulations.
The WORLD BANK supports land use policies
that restore and
"protect" the quality of ground water, E.D.I.,
the Economic
Development Institute division of the WORLD
BANK, will train
and supply the planners, managers,
technicians, and country policy
analysis. This of course means that
"Resettlement of People" will be
required. [page 17]
[Although the WORLD BANK tries to soft
peddle this feature of
their plan, it is occurring around the globe.]
The WORLD BANK works with the following
U.N. Organizations
(page 22]
UNDP The UN Development Program.
RE: Water Resource Management
FAO Thee Food & Agricultural Organization.
RE: Sustainable Agriculture
WHO The World Health Organization
RE: Quality of Water
UNICF The UN International Children's Fund.
RE: Rural Communities
WMO The World Meteorological Organization.
RE: Hydro Assessment
UNESCO The UN Educational, Scientific &
Cultural Org
RE: Protected Land
UNEP The UN Environmental Program
RE: Protected Ecosystems
UNDESD The UN Dept. of Economic & Social
Development
RE: Its Science, Technology, Energy,
Environment, and Natural Resources Division
formulates policies
and projects including RURAL WATER SUPPLY,
RIVER
BASINS, POLLUTION CONTROL, and hosts the
Intersecretariat
Group for water resources.
The largest users of water ----
Agriculture 69% (Worldwide) [page 26]
Agriculture 80% (Third World Countries)
Industry 23%
Household 8%
The WORLD BANK states that Agriculture uses
too much water.
They also claim that cattle (in fact all gazing
animals), are the
leading cause of desertification. i.e. turning
the land into a desert!
[Now this is the largest load of cow pie I've
heard in a long time.
The "cubicle freaks" who live in the dark
bowels of the WORLD
BANK and come up with nonsense like this
have obviously never
been past the city limits. Cow manure is
fertilizer. The land grows
better with fertilizer. People in the city are
more than happy to bring
home several bags of this "fertilizer" for
their home lawns, flower &
vegetable gardens.]
The WORLD BANK claims that farmers &
ranchers do not pay
enough for water. The most water intensive
crops are alfalfa, rice,
sugarcane, and corn for silage (livestock
feed). [page 301
The WORLD BANK feels that farmers &
ranchers should be
charged 300% to 500% more!
In addition, the WORLD BANK states that when
water is diverted
upstream for irrigation and other uses,
downstream areas that
support "sensitive water dependent
ecosystems, including wetlands,
become less able to fulfill these valuable
biodiversity functions.
[page 34]
[That's right folks, all you humans are in the
way of the grand plan
of the WORLD BANK]
The WORLD BANK calls for the
DE-CENTRALIZATION of
water management. They claim that the
problem is that each
different water use is managed by a
separate department i.e.
irrigation, municipal, power & transportation.
Then, in classic
"fuzzy" worded language, they call for
ecological, social, and
economic water system policy & regulations
to be dictated by the
WORLD BANK. [page 27] [Gee, that sure sounds
like
centralized management to me!]
The WORLD BANK claims that it is difficult to
solve water
problems when state or local governments
have authority over the
water. [page 28] [Those darn constitutional
folks are always getting
in the way of a tyrant on the march.]
The WORLD BANK feels it would be a lot easier
to achieve its
goals if a national water agency following the
WORLD BANK plan
were to run the water policy through lower
levels of government,
community organizations, private sector units
and NGO's. [page
28,30]
I know its hard to wade through the fuzzy
language but here we go
again.... [page 42]
Per the WORLD BANK; within a decentralized
central system,
adequate charges ($) would endow the
WORLD BANK water
entities with operational and financial ($)
independence. [It's real
easy folks, we pay the water entity for
Whatever water they will sell
us at whatever price they choose. They
operate in collaboration with
the IUCN with complete impunity.... On
January 18, 1996, by
Executive Order # 12986, President Clinton
gave diplomatic
immunity to IUCN, the International Union for
the Conservation of
Nature and Natural Resources, and its
umbrella land & water
organizations..... CAN YOU SPELL TYRANNY ?]
The WORLD BANK wants Institutional Reform.
[page 14, 44]
They want to ensure that their rules and
regulations are coordinated
and ENFORCED! They state that historical
private and local water
rights need to be brought into compliance. [In
other words, the
WORLD BANK doesn't believe that you know
how to use your
water properly]
The WORLD BANK states that the rights to
water need to be
clearly defined, with due concern shown for
the interests of
indigenous people, the poor, and other
disadvantaged groups. [Now
that's more fuzzy, snake-tongue talk. Our
wonderful Secretary of
the Interior Bruce Babbett tried to buy the
water rights of the Ute
Indian Nation for $272 Million! Fortunately
the Indians learned
their lesson after the beads-for-land-deal.
The Ute Indians just said
NO!]
The WORLD BANK then goes on to say that
they need to be in
charge of the water because otherwise, bad
people might try to form
a water monopoly! [And exactly what would
you call what the
WORLD BANK is trying to do .... ?] Then the
WORLD BANK
goes on to repeat that the "River Basin
Organizations" need to have
"dictatorial" water policy power!
The WORLD BANK points to the French Water
System which has
been in place for 25 years. There are 6 river
basin financial agencies
which collect fees, implement policy, and
make grants and loans.
The 1st fee is based on the amount of water
use . The 2nd fee is
based on the level of pollution at each point
source. The regulation
& enforcement is done by National Ministries.
[page 46] [This is
supposed to be an example of
de-centralization???]
Water is rated according to its "usage value".
[Page 31, 48]
Highest Value Water Usage: Wetlands,
Ecosystems, River Fisheries,
Deltas [page34]
High Value Water Usage: Domestic, Industrial
[page 48]
Low Value Water Usage: Agriculture [page 31]
Of course the WORLD BANK determines what
is high or low
value water usage. In order to save water
for the wetlands, the
WORLD BANK suggests that people, [just us
common folks of
course], drink processed toilet & sewer
water. The WORLD BANK
euphemistically refers to this activity as
"water reuse in various
economic activities." [page73]
The WORLD BANK states that they have
increased their focus on
issues such as poverty alleviation,
resettlement, and women's roles in
development. [page 131]
[This sure is a massive departure from their
initial stated role as
rebuilder of war damaged Europe. Again,
their actual name is
INTERNATIONAL BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTION AND
DEVELOPMENT]
The WORLD BANK, using their standard
"smoke & mirrors"
technique, is promoting women's traditional
role in securing water,
and their potential role in "educational
training" and informed
participation in planning development
projects. [page 62]
[Remember the "retraining" camps in Laos,
Cambodia, Viet Nam,
and China.]
On page 121 of the WORLD BANK water policy
manual they state
that their policy is to be open about its
activities. [This is totally
inconsistent with their actual policy. One is
faced with the no
admittance statement "FORBIDDEN" when
trying to retrieve the
WORLD BANK water policy manual on their
internet site. After
reading their water policy manual I
understand why!]
In order to create the illusion that the local or
federal government is
in charge of the water, the WORLD BANK
Water Policy has a
section entitled:
"The Case for Government Involvement in
Water Management"
[Page 28] In regards to River Basins, the
WORLD BANK states
that 7 The uses of H2O within a river basin or
aquifer are
interdependent. Pollution by one user affects
others in the basin,
especially located downstream. All users of
H2O are to agree to the
'rules of the game' (i.e. User Associations). "
[At first glance this sounds like it makes
sense. i.e. everybody
working together to have clean water etc.
However, remember that,
the WORLD BANK creates the rules. And like
the satirical version
of the "Golden Rule" motto "He who has the
gold, makes the
rules."
In this case, "He who has the water makes
the rules", and rules your
life ... That is unless you've discovered a way
to get along without
water!]
"If the land owners will not join a User
Association, then the
government WILL impose REGULATIONS, TAXES,
or BOTH.
This would improve the social value of H20
resources"
In other words,
The WORLD BANK will use the government as
its POLICE FORCE!
(Once again, remember George Orwell's
warning)
The following is a quote by Carl Bloice, a close
friend of Mikhail
Gorbachev, and a leading U.S. Communist. He
was the Associate
Editor and Moscow correspondent for the
People's Daily World.
"The Environmental Movement promises to
bring greater numbers
into our orbit than the 'Peace Movement'
ever did."
