It’s time for the thirsting masses to toss leftwing activism from the world water supply

Canada Free Press – by Judi McLeod

Has anyone noticed how it is the same “outraged” activists working on “Water Justice” who are taking the threatened water cutoff service for Detroit customers 60 days overdue in payment or more than $150 behind in their water bill payments to the Detroit Water and Sewage Department (DWSD) to the ubiquitous United Nations, are the same UN activists who have been in charge of water ‘equality’ for years?

In 2008, the UN’s “senior advisor on water”  was a Canadian hardline leftist activist by the name of Maude Barlow, the one and the same co-founder of the Blue Planet project, now—at least ostensibly—fighting DWSD on the water cutoff threats to residents of Detroit.  

Activists with Barlow’s Blue Planet project own the claim of “working internationally for the human right to water”.

Detroit residents don’t need airy-fairy claims or political rhetoric—they need the assurance of having access to life-saving water.

Activist Barlow also chairs the board of the Washington-based Food & Water Watch;  is a founding member of the San Francisco-based International Forum on Globalization, and a councillor with the Hamburg-based World Future Council—all organizations in the same spirit of the UN which talks about water without getting it to the masses.

Big question: if Barlow and company are working internationally for “the human right to water”, how is it that people in Detroit, part of the human race, will be cut off from life-sustaining water by summer’s end?

From the get-go as the UN’s “senior advisor on water”, Barlow has maintained that “everybody has a right to water”, but talk, talk, talk does zero to slake human thirst.

Talk is cheap when millions of children in third world countries still have no access to clean water, and thousands of Detroit city residents impoverished by Barlow’s Democrat friends in office will be cut off from access to H20—all because they can’t afford to pay for rising DWSD water bills.

The Department has shut off water service to more than 7,500 properties in the past two months alone.

Where was Ms. Maude during the time period when Detroit has seen a steady rise in its water bills, including a staggering 119 percent increase over the last decade?

Ten years is a long time to do nothing significant in keeping Detroit’s water taps running.

“Detroit has seen a steady rise in its water bills, including a staggering 119 percent increase over the last decade. The average water bill is now an outrageous $75 a month, compared to national average of $40. For perspective sake, the average cell phone bill is $71 per month. (Arnold Ahlert, Canada Free Press June 24, 2014)

“The activists are apoplectic, claiming those affected were given no time to prepare for a shut off and that some accounts were suspended prior to the deadline. “Sick people are left without running water and running toilets,” writes Blue Planet Project Founder and Food & Water Watch Board Chair Maude Barlow.

“People recovering from surgery cannot wash and change bandages. Children cannot bathe and parents cannot cook. Is this a small number of victims? No. The water department has decreed that it will turn the water off to all 120,000 residences that owe it money by the end of the summer although it has made no such threat to the many corporations and institutions that are in arrears on their bills as well. How did it come to this?”

“Unsurprisingly, Barlow blames “decades of market driven neoliberal policy that put business and profit ahead of public good.” A less delusional examination reveals the usual suspects: free-spending, progressive Democrats, allied with labor unions,” writes Ahlert.

Problem is Barlow is part and parcel of the “neoliberal policy that put business and profit ahead of public good” and has been ever since getting the blessing of UN Poster Boy, Canadian Maurice Strong.

UN special advisor, Strong, is on the public record predicting that water will have to be rationed by armed guards as soon as 2031. (Canada Free Press, May 26, 2003)

“Isn’t it odd that the same sources voicing alarm about the imminent scarcity of H20 just happen to be the same ones who 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.”

Strong is not alone in the exploitation of the precious liquid by which the entire human species survives, he’s only the de facto leader of the UN activists falsely claiming to uphold ‘Water Justice’.

It’s time for the increasingly thirsting masses to toss out leftwing activism from the water supply.

  1. This whole UN/Detroit thing is just for the elite to get the people’s feet wet with the UN’s presence in our country. It’s going through the “Let’s talk about it” phase. As time goes on, this will escalate and then other states will follow and the UN activists will become like the Bloominidiots and their gun control crap until they get UN troops on our streets under the guise of humanitarian assistance. The same thing will be used for the illegal immigrants flooding our country right now. It’s all done by design to force us into accepting UN control of our country like they have done in the Middle East and Ukraine. They want their One World Order and war without borders.

    I say, “Bring it on. I’m anxious to start knocking over a few blue helmets”.

  2. Detroit is not a water poor area. Let the U.N. help pay and put in well and pumps in every village. Or neighborhood. Then people can hand pump what water they need for home and use. Works in the rest of the world were people don’t want or can not pay for piped in water. They could also form CoOps and and put in there own neighborhood wells. The problem here is not that people are being told to do with out water. They are being told that nothing is free! And if they want water they are going to have to do some work for it. And Duu the toilets still work if you pour your own water down them. Or you can did a septic tank and be free of the Government that way.
