ALERT!!! Experts call for hike in global water price

Vatic Note: Please note the following as you read this report and keep these three words "Control" "privatization" and "depopulation".    This was done by the IMF to third world countries with Goldman Sachs operatives  (Geithner & Summers)  going in under the IMF and acting as "economic Hitmen" for the international bankers, resulting in loans these poor countries could not repay and then the IMF would force them to privatize their water and other natural resources, essentially robbing these poor third world countries of the only chance for economic growth that they had.  Does Iraq and Oil sound familiar?   Now they are beginning to do it here and globally in 2nd world and 1st world countries such as ours.  This is beginning to remind me of "WHO" and the global vaccine pandemic scam,  then the "Gun confiscation" scam that has been signed.  This is next.  This is globalizing without going through the legitimate process.   But read further on this note and see just how perverted and planned this all has been for a very long time. 

Bush/Cheney were the set up men in this scam, and this is what the "Hammer, under Obama and his banker handlers, will be". WATER, FOOD, AND AIR. RFID tracking is in the health care bill and if you do not behave they can turn it off and no food, water and you get to breath the aluminum filled air from the chemtrails with no health coverage for the results. Here are some serious questions to keep in mind as you read about the latest theft by these Bankers/corporations:

1. How many are there of these global groups (just a few of the many) , how long they have been dealing with this issue, and how well funded are these organizations listed and quoted below.

(excerpt: "Its work is financially supported by numerous Foundations, bilateral aid agencies and multilateral development institutions" -  Rockefeller?, Ford?, Rothschild? who?) .

2. Notice the reports all coming from these well funded groups are arriving at exactly the same time.

3. Notice their recommendations are all the same. Price increase, added to carbon tax, universal health care and you see they have created a slave work force just for us to "survive" and not "live" for any future life beyond survival. That does not include their planned increase in gas.

4. Notice none of them address at all the options including that of desalination from sea water that is an unlimited supply on this planet. Or stopping the deforestation in the Amazon which is the major reason, along with HAARP weather manipulation, for our lack of fresh water.

Excerpt:

"The Amazon Rainforest has been described as the "Lungs of our Planet" because it provides the essential environmental world service of continuously recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen. More than 20 percent of the world oxygen is produced in the Amazon Rainforest." (Water is part oxygen) .......


"Fewer rainforests mean less rain, less oxygen for us to breathe"

5. Please remember, Bush and Moony bought hundreds of thousands of acres of land over the largest fresh water aquifir in the world years ago before he left office, I believe around 2006. Also remember shortly around that time Coors Beer bought land over that same fresh water aquifir. Corporations profiting off humans life sustaining water or how about Nestle's who moved their plant from the US to Mexico, but still has control over one of our sources of water for their bottled water???  This is apparently going to become a war between the corporations and the People for those resources. And we get to pay for it with higher prices of their bottled water from our resources.

6. Please notice there are military personnel (500 marines) stationed on Bush's land for what????

7. Notice the public in this country and I assume in other countries, through their elected representatives, have not been included in these various deliberations, discussions nor voting. Read this book if you get a chance to understand the implications of bankers and corporations taking over control of our life sustaining substance with out our having a say, its one of the most fundamental human rights on the planet since it truly only takes a few days to die from lack of water.

8. Please note who the members of these various global groups are! CFR?  Private Equity Investment firms such as the Carlyle Group, where Frank Carlucci, from Carlyle is a member of the PSI group dealing with global water issues and I suspect they finished what they were doing and these orgs than arose to shove this option down our throats whose taxes (another bailout to pay for our own pain and suffering) may be required to  finance the building of the control (security) structure this would require since publically controlled water doesn't need this kind of security???

9. Add this, with respect to water, to Senate Bill 510  with respect to our food, and chemtrails with respect to air and you have a "perfect storm" of fascist global control over the very life sustaining substance for every living creature, that could serve as food on this planet. NO ONE IN THE WORLD SHOULD HAVE THAT KIND OF POWER OVER ANYONE.

10. there is also right now an executive order sitting on Obama's desk that prohibits fishing in the nation at this time. I have the audio of this information and am trying to obtain a copy of the EO for the wording. Found an article and I suspect after the complete destruction of the fishing industry in the gulf that he won't need to sign that order.

Experts call for hike in global water price

World Bank and OECD say water is a finite resource that must be valued at a higher price in order to repair old supply systems and build new ones

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/apr/27/water-price-rise/print

Major economies are pushing for substantial increases in the price of water http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/cif-green/2010/apr/29/industry-water-smart#start-of-comments  around the world as concern mounts about dwindling supplies and rising population. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/population

With official UN figures showing that 1 billion people lack access to clean drinking water and more than double that number do not have proper sanitation, increases in prices will be – and in some countries are already proving to be – hugely controversial.

However experts argue that as long as most countries provide huge subsidies for water it will not be possible to change the wasteful habits of consumers, farmers and industry, nor to raise the investment needed to repair old supply systems and build new ones. And price rises can be managed so that they do not penalise the poorest.

Last Friday, the World Bank held a high-level private meeting about water in New York, at which higher prices were discussed. Days before that the OECD, which represents the world's major economies, issued three water reports http://www.oecd.org/document/47/0,3343,en_2649_37465_36146415_1_1_1_1,00.html  calling for prices to rise. "Putting a price on water will make us aware of the scarcity and make us take better care of it," said Angel Gurría, the OECD secretary-general. It has also been a key theme at this week's meeting of industry leaders in Paris, hosted by Global Water Intelligence. http://www.globalwaterintel.com/

The discussion at the World Bank was raised by Lars Thunell, chief executive officer of the International Finance Corporation. http://www.ifc.org/ (VN:  notice the link and match it to the one in my Vatic Note above, they have been planning this for a very long time with the same players on board) "Everyone said water must be somehow valued: whether you call it cost, or price, or cost recover," said Usha Rao-Monari, senior manager of the IFC's infrastructure department. "It's not an infinite resource, and anything that's not an infinite resource must be valued."

Concern about dwindling water supplies has been rising with growing populations and economies. And with climate change altering rainfall patterns, experts warn that unless changes are made, up to half the world's population could live in areas without sustainable clean water to meet their daily needs.

Global Water Intelligence's 2010 market report estimated the industry needs to spend $571bn (£373bn) a year to maintain and improve its networks and treatment plants to meet rising demand - more than three times this year's projected spending.

At the same time, a major report last year by consultants McKinsey, http://www.mckinsey.com/clientservice/water/charting_our_water_future.aspx  paid for by a group of water-dependent global brands including SABMiller and Nestlé, said that most of the estimated "gap" in water in 2030 could be met from efficiency savings such as better irrigation and new showerheads.

However, highly subsidised prices are hampering both investment and efficiency, because private and public companies cannot collect enough water, nor persuade farmers, homeowners and businesses to make - and sometimes pay for - changes to reduce their water use, say the experts.

"We were in a vicious cycle," says Virgilio Rivera, a director of Manila Water, which took over water and sewage services in the city when the Philippines government passed a National Water Crisis Act in 1997. "Lack of investment; poor service; government can't increase the water rates because customers are dissatisfied; they are not paying, so low cash flows; so the government can't improve the service."

Huge opposition to price rises is expected however, especially as so many prices are set by elected politicians.

Even in Washington DC there has been an outcry over calls for prices to double over the next five years to help the city raise money to spend on its 76-year-old network of leaking lead pipes.

Obstacles include a long term "legitimacy" from providing free or very cheap water; and vested interests, says Rao-Monari, who cites the example of water vendors in India making big profits from desperate households.

The biggest concern though is the impact on the poorest households. There is evidence that they suffer most from the bad services of poorly funded water companies, because often they are not connected at all or have such bad services they are forced to rely on even more expensive water vendors.

In Manila, Manila Water increased bills from 4.5 to 30 pesos per cubic metre. At first there was resistance but by 2003 the company doubled connections from 3m to 6m, including 1.6m of the poorest squatters, leakage had been cut drastically, and pressure and quality had improved, said Rivera, one of the company's directors visiting Paris. Bills for the poorest households are now less than one-tenth of when they relied on vendors, and payment in the slum areas is 100%, said Rivera.

Some say step pricing can be used to protect a basic water allowance for drinking, cooking and washing – either for very low prices or for free, as it is in South Africa.

"I fully agree the water we need of hydration and minimal hygiene are part of the Human Rights declaration, but this is 25 litres of water [a day], which is the smallest part," said Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, chairman of food giant Nestlé and one of the most prominent global business leaders campaigning on water. More than 95% of water is used to grow food, for other household needs and for industry, he added.

Food prices should not have to rise as higher water bills could be offset by efficiency improvements, from irrigation, to new seeds, or even a changing pattern of what is eaten to favour less water-intensive ingredients, said Brabeck-Letmathe.

Others favour separating water supply from government's duty to take care of the most vulnerable. "Ideally utilities should not make any distinction between rich and poor," said Prof Asit Biswas, president of the Third World Centre for Water Management. http://www.thirdworldcentre.org/esomos.html "The moment you subsidise [someone's bill] people don't use water prudently."
