KLAMATH WATER RIGHTS
Testing the resolve of free
Americans
by Dorothy
Anne Seese
At dawn on August 23, 2001, the federal agents
again closed the headgates
to the A Canal, shutting off the flow of water to the Klamath
Falls
farmers. The event was witnessed by farmers and supporters, who
then
proceeded to go to the river behind the headgates and begin
laying a
twelve-inch pipe to divert the water around the headgates.
A twelve inch pipe is pretty symbolic, because it cannot provide
the water
that the Klamath Falls farmers need in order to irrigate their
crops.
Other farmers, some from Nevada and Montana as well as other
parts of the
U.S., joined in the protest against the government saving the
available
water to "protect" allegedly endangered species of
fish.
It's about time every American woke up to the fact that what's
happening at
Klamath Falls isn't about fish, it's about the use of the
Endangered
Species Act to dispossess Americans from their own land.
That's why Klamath Falls is not a local issue at all, it's a
national issue.
A church on some prime land along the California coastline has
been
prohibited from renovating its facility to accommodate those who
wish to
come to the church, citing everything from parking laws to
butterfly
protection.
All across the United States, owners of prime land somehow manage
to also
be owners of the habitat of some endangered species that
restricts their
use of that land.
You don't care? Sooner or later you will, even if you own nothing
more
than a tract home in a planned community where the paint is all
the same
color and every roof was tiled from the same batch. Your
management
association already dictates what you can and cannot do with your
front
yard, and your back yard is next. After that, it's what you can
do inside
your home.
We're a people who are losing our freedoms and property rights by
the day,
week, month and year and as a nation, we never seem wake up to
what's
happening until it's on our own doorstep.
This is Big Government and Big Agenda versus The People of the
United States.
We as a nation need the firm resolve to tell the government and
the
non-governmental organizations that protect flat-winged snakes
"we've had
enough" of their interference, we won't take any more.
That is not anti-government as the media portrays it. That is
PRO-CONSTITUTION as that document was written and intended to be
used to
protect the people against such things as the monstrous many-tentacled
hydra that this government has become during the past four
decades.
Too many folks are just too comfortable to care. To those folks I
would
say, the folks on the Titanic were pretty comfortable too ...
until the
ship hit the iceberg.
Hopefully the resolve of the Klamath Falls farmers and their many
supporters will resonate across America and expose the government
land
grabs and losses of private property rights that are going on in
America,
never reported by major media, and largely unknown to Joe Average
who puts
in a forty to sixty hour workweek and only gets local news on the
radio as
he drives home.
We need some strong resolve. Since the 1960's the government has
been
executing one plan after another to intrude into the lives of
private
citizens whose hope once lay in the protections afforded by the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Folks ... the Bill of Rights is nearly a historical document of
no force
and effect except as it is twisted and perverted by the special
interest
groups to enforce their agenda of a wholly godless, totally
subservient,
government-dependent America.
Fortunately, many more Americans are awake now than they were
five or ten
years ago.
Their resolve is vital to the freedom of our nation and our
people. That's
you and me!
