Feds Falsify Data to Destroy Agrobusiness in CA Central Valley

[JimBowie1958]

This makes no sense to me, unless the Dems are just trying to run out all the conservatives in the agricultural business there.

The Central Valley of California is turning into a government made dustbowl to placate envirowackos who dont care if billions of dollars of industry and state taxes are destroyed.

Two years ago, the Delta smelt, a tiny, minnow-like fish, caused a brouhaha. In an effort to save this fish (which has no commercial value whatsoever), water supplies to California’s Central Valley were severely limited. As a direct result, this fertile agricultural center was quickly turning into a dust bowl and unemployment soared to almost 40 percent. Eventually, the Pacific Legal Foundation filed suit against the federal government on behalf of the farmers and received a favorable ruling on Dec. 14, 2010, from the trial court. Since then, the matter has been winding its way through the appellate courts.
While the San Joaquin Valley farmers continue to await their fate in court, a new water rights controversy has been brewing. This time, it involves the Chinook salmon and the Klamath River in Northern California. Secretary of the Interior Kenneth Salazar wants to destroy the river’s three dams, which provide flood control, a reliable source of fresh irrigation water for regional farmers and clean hydroelectric power.

Last summer, National Geographic ran a story when four dams were being considered for demolition. It concluded that it might not be the “silver bullet” for salmon restoration that the government envisioned and questioned the wisdom of proceeding with the project given the benefits the dams provide the area and the $1 billion price tag attached to their destruction.

Late last month, a whistleblower, George Mason University professor Paul H. Houser, removed all uncertainty over National Geographic' questions.

Houser served as scientific advisor to the Bureau of Reclamation, and as such, was closely involved in the Klamath River project. He now alleges that data used to support the dams’ removal was intentionally falsified. "In particular, he says that, under orders from Ken Salazar, the department produced a ‘summary’ report that ‘intentionally distorts and generally presents a biased view of the Klamath River dam removal benefits," said a report posted in the blog, The City Square.

So it would seem that the Democrat political patronage system is finally going into a canablistic stage, destroying many of the people who used to support them decades ago. Eventually they will get around to punishing more recent defectors, then finally causing defections that get fed to the wolves, unless California voters wake up and vote against the leftwing kooks that are destroying their state.

Myself, I hope they create the classic example of what leftwing googooism can lead to so the rest of the states can be duly warned.
