The hummingbird swarm is pretty cool I must say

I tried to watch, apparently somebody shot a firework near her head and there is now an arson investigation? Neighbor in yellow house has the documents?
Not exactly.
They are actual low-grade rockets, purportedly.
Not rockets on sticks, but actual tube projectiles, like mini missiles, with a range of about 2 miles & incendiary headers.
Think of a 1-2 foot tube/copper pipe launched from an actual tube, like a sugar or sodium type motor, or something to that effect.

What's being implied in my limited observation, is that "actors" could be employed by xyz to further fires, perhaps further the agenda to comandeer land for the future transit plans outlined in agendas adjacent or parallel to 2030.
Like La Haina.
But can be blamed on citizens, like no fingerprints on hardware store available parts.
The "whoosh" that went by her head sounded similar to a sugar motor.
Maybe someone in the Trump admin has whispered this notion, highlighted by inuendo in his recent mysterious remarks.

I have several of this dude's videos across bitchute and rumble since 2020.
He's gone in depth and does a damn good job.
He also commented on the Canadian wild fires.
Intersting. On a side note, some of my favorite hiking is through burn areas. Each consecutive year, even during the same year, you get to see the forest come back. Lots of the big older growth survives, but not all of them. And once shaded trails become open and sunny due to the canopies and undergrowth getting vaporised. But little by little you see new vibrant green making it's way back, but now with lots of elbow room.

Trump sent the military into California to fix the water problem.

I love the action, but the message isn't exactly factual from my knowledge of the region, elevations, and watersheds.

I would like somebody to show me all the water that is accessible from Oregon and Washington(aka the PNW). Geography prevents it for the most part, water would have to be pumped up a pass and new aqueducts constructed.

This is the only water that naturally drains into California and it already drained there. Getting that water to LA isn't the solution, it is still basically a state away.

Anything north of that watershed goes to the Pacific thru smaller rivers or drains into the Columbia River which takes most of the PNW water. Most of the water from this watershed below goes out above Portland thru a giant river(Columbia).

I'm not sure how much they can really draw from the SE Oregon area, or Washington.

I do know the Colorado River feeds So Cal in a major way.

California does need help with policy but the #1 problem with LA is that it is built in a dry area with far too many people for the water sources available. That area just doesn't get enough rain to not burn badly every now and then.


Tulare Lake is the real elephant in the Room. A lake that creates it's own weather when full, and likely when it is empty.
They had the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississipi and they drained it and pump it out when it attempts to refill itself like it did last year, pumped to very low levels to save farms and agriculture. Move the farmers out and let the lake fill back up, doubt it will happen but that would be the real smart move. Water from so far away is not the answer.


Good read

There are simply too many people flushing too many toilets for SoCal to be viable and still grow food in the valley.
That valley, that used to feed a nation via stoop labor, has sunk over a foot as the aquafir became devastated.

Its just too many fucking people.
"Turning on the water" just robs Peter to pay Paul.

Can't build on the edge of a desert and expect to have unlimited water, LA has undoubtedly been either on the edge of a desert or a desert itself off and on for tens of thousands of years.

CDWR takes the water shed going to the Feather River into Lake Oroville. Water is released through Hyatt & Thermalito (or through the river valves) to the Feather River (also through the Fish Hatchery). The Feather River then converges with the American & Sacramento Rivers and release into the Delta. CDWR then is allocated a percentage of their release (usually about 5-10%) back into Clifton Court. From there water is passed through another fish facility and pumped down the main California Aqueduct, small North & South Bay Aqueducts & Coastal Aqueduct.

The main CAAQ is shared with the federal government from Banks Pumping Plant, Gianelli Pumping/generating Station & Dos Amigos pumping plant through Checksite #21 (near Kettleman City). At the Gianelli PGP, water is either pumped up to the San Luis Reservoir or generated (taken out of SL Reservoir) from O'Neil Reservoir. O'Neil serves as a large shared pool for Dos Amigos, Gianelli Forebay/Afterbay as well as USBR O'Neil PGP and the Cross Valley Canal which pumps water into the USBR aqueduct.

Once water is sent past CK#21, it gets pumped through Load Group 7 (3 pumping plants in Kern area) then to Edmonston Pumping Plant (highest lift pumps on the planet) to pump over the Tehachapi Mountains. On the SoCal side of the mountain range the aqueduct hits a bifurcation where it splits into the East & West Branch aqueducts.

West Branch will send water to Quail Lake then Pyramid Lake before handing off to LADWP to Castaic. Pyramid is a "shared" management lake between CDWR & LADWP as CDWR sends water through Warne Generating Station & LADWP can either pump back up to Pyramid or take water through generation at Castaic.

East Branch will send water through aqueduct passing through a couple small generating stations and a pumping plant to Silverwood Lake. Devil Canyon Generating Station takes water from Silverwood & distributes through several customer taps right off of their afterbays but the terminus is Perris Lake & a handoff to MWD.

There's a bunch of turnouts (customer water demands or wheeling if pumping back) along the way & I didn't cover the smaller aqueducts.

Thank you for the breakdown. You always bring the details and facts.
From what I can tell none of the water you spoke of is from SE Oregon.

I saw many of those aqueducts during my travels as a youth, but they all took place when the elevation I saw them at was much lower and well south of Mount Shasta area.

Sorry boss.
You know Oregon and Washington pretty good, I know the State of Oregon really well as I used to work across it 45 weeks a year.

That water goes out the Columbia for the most part right? That shit doesn't flow uphill lol.

Correct. USBR does have some facilities in very northern CA as well as WA & OR. They're fed though & I'm not sure how they interact
