The Hydraulic Imperialism

Timothy Birdnow

Hydraulic Empire. It's a theory that says totalitarian states like ancient Egypt or China held eternal power because they controlled water. Control water and you control the people. Not just their thirst but their food supply is dependent on water. In Egypt and China and Mesopotamia water was a King's monopoly and he controlled it via dams and canals and levees. If a province grew rebellious they went thirsty and hungry until they submitted.

Joe Biden is trying to create a hydraulic empire.

His EPA has reinvigorated the "navigable waters" stupidity that the Obama Administration imposed to steal water and make land unusuable.

The core of the scheme is to declare any wet spot as part of the navigable waters of the United States and thus subject to government regulation of the land as a "wetland". A ditch made by a tire with water in it suffices.

And in this case they will ban the use of water, turning productive farmland into, well, a whole lot of nothing.

A group of 24 states have filed suit against the O'Biden EPA for this. 

According to The Blaze:

Attorneys general in 24 states filed a lawsuitagainst the Biden administration's Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday over a new water rule that would limit farmers' and landowners' ability to make use of their land, Fox News Digital reported.

The suit accused the EPA and the United States Army Corps of Engineers of "pushing the States aside and seizing control over the nation's water management."

The Biden administration's Waters of the United States rule, which was introduced in December and is scheduled to be implemented in March, would reinterpret what waterways in the country are federally protected and, therefore, subject to regulation under the 1972 Clean Water Act.

"The Agencies have sought to expand their own authority by broadly defining 'waters of the United States,' a key jurisdictional provision in the CWA," the lawsuit stated

The suit explained that the definition of "waters of the United States" is used to determine the scope of "navigable waters," which the EPA's new rule seeks to redefine to include ponds, certain streams, ditches, and other bodies of water.

So, we are to believe the Feds are better at protecting waterways than private individuals?  Hmm. I noticed they have done NOTHING to protect the Ohio river basin or the good people of East Palestine Ohio.

If they want to control our water they should at least have to prove they are capable of doing so. Thus far I see no evidence they can do a better job than the private land owners.

BTW Once in a heavy rain my truck got stuck in a mud hole down at my property in the Ozarks. Left a big tire track which fills with water when it rains. I guess they'll be declaring the Ozark Hilton a "navigablewater" and putting Federal restrictions on it?

At any rate, this is a direct example of the Progressive Hydraulic Imperialism. There are others. Control of energy, for instance. It's why they are so hell-bent on pushing electric cars on the world; they know there isn't enough power and they want to control it so you can only go where they say and do what they allow you to do. EV's are Trojan Horses. They will get everyone to switch, then remove the subsides making the vehicles affordable, and will also implement safety protocols and surcharges for charging stations, forcing the average person back into the cities and onto public transit.

This is a variant on the hydraulic empire. So are smart meters for your home.

Every goal of this current lawless Junta has been to wrap up America and the world in a tight knot. Control energy. Control water. Control food production. Outsource manufacturing to compliant countries, countries that will play ball and cut back if ordered. Centralize businesses. Control the internet. Force everyone on government run health insurance or make them pay dearly for private. Control the sources of life-saving drugs.

It's not original with the Biden junta; it goes back to Obama and even before. George W. Bush fell in line with this stuff too. It's the policy of the Ruling Class, the Davos attending, Renaissance Weekend elites. They are building themselves a hydreaulic empire.

This is just one more example.
