There are many things wrong with the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and perhaps the current flooding of the Missouri River that has left more than 10 million people living under the threat of life and destruction of property is the most despicable result of the abuse of that ACT. It is no longer a question of whether the environmentalists have gone too far in what they declare to be protecting the environment, to asking if all of these actions, including the destructive flooding this spring of the Missouri River are all part of a greater plan.

Joe Herring writes in American Thinker that the resulting floods are deliberate and “constitutes criminal negligence”. The Army Corps of Engineers sold the public on building six dams along the river, strategically placed to control flooding throughout over 2,300 miles of the river’s journey.

Somewhere along the way, as with many, many other aspects of all American’s lives, environmentalists essentially took over the operation of the dams and how flood control would be managed. Instead of controlling flood waters to protect property and encourage the economic growth of the region, environmentalists, in their usual manner, decided people and their property no longer matter and have as a result worked to protect species and habitat over the well-being of people. What few realize is that the notion of species and habitat protection is only a ruse, and the ultimate goal is to run people off their land and to control and manipulate economies and food supplies.

Herring writes:

Greg Pavelka, a wildlife biologist with the Corps of Engineers in Yankton, SD, told the Seattle Times that this event will leave the river in a “much more natural state than it has seen in decades,” describing the epic flooding as a “prolonged headache for small towns and farmers along its path, but a boon for endangered species.” He went on to say, “The former function of the river is being restored in this one-year event. In the short term, it could be detrimental, but in the long term it could be very beneficial.”

“A boon for endangered species”? Are you kidding me? While millions of people suffer, this ignorant bastard claims victory for endangered species! God save us!

Hiding behind the myth that dams can be used to simulate “natural” spring runoffs, deliberate withholding of water behind the dams to protect endangered species and habitat, has resulted in the release of more water from behind the dams than at any other time in history.

The Army Corps of Engineers claim they follow the Missouri River Master Plan in releasing and holding back water.

But all indications are there’s more to this than simply holding back water to “simulate” spring runoff. Of course the Army Corp denies any wrongdoing, and one has to concur that the actions of those responsible for river flow are criminal in nature. According to Herring, the Corp and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service were amply warned ahead of time that with a very large winter snow and ice pack, spring run off would be high and that water should be released from the dams ahead of time in preparation of the potential flooding. Instead record amounts of water were held back. But why?

Even though the Army Corp says they were merely following the Master Plan, others disagree.

Two bird species, the piping plover and the least tern, migrate to the Missouri River basin during the spring nesting season, which starts in early May. In the past, the Corps of Engineers has taken steps to protect the birds, including dredging parts of the river to create sandbars and cutting down vegetation on existing sandbars to give the birds an unobstructed view of predators.

“As in previous years, releases from Garrison will follow a repetitive daily pattern during the (threatened and endangered birds) nesting season to limit peak stages below the project for nesting birds,” officials noted in the Corps of Engineers’ 2011 operating plan for the Missouri River. “All reasonable measures to minimize the loss of nesting (threatened and endangered) bird species will be used.”

At a minimum, the Master Plan is a piece of unworkable garbage. The dams were built to protect the region from flooding and it was our own government that encouraged people to build, grow crops, and prosper. To alter this plan in order to protect animals and plants over people is perverse behavior, but that is not new coming from the environmental industry. To deliberately retain too much water to protect piping plovers, least terns and habitat at the expense of 10 million people and putting them in threat of personal safety, is criminal negligence and an investigation into this should begin immediately.

The problem is no investigation will ever go far enough. They will skim over the surface and make superficial suggestions on how better to retain and release water and call it good. Instead of digging deeper to unearth the criminal enterprise behind this entire event, investigators will cover it over because they are either involved in the criminal activity or too stupid to open their eyes and discover.

This movement that has been employed to destroy human life while masquerading behind species and habitat protection is evil. Some have called such actions un-American but in fact, they are anti-human. And just who leads such a movement and what does it say about the people who follow it?
