I ordinarily don't promote any particular "cause" on
the blog - I try to keep away from politics and such matters.
However, in this case, I have to make an exception.
A foreign-owned corporation is
proposing to pump 54,000 acre feet of water, per year,
from an aquifer beneath the Plains of San Augustin in west-
central New Mexico (photo above) and sell it, and make
billions of dollars (yes, billions).
.
The whole scheme is immoral and unethical.
Water, in New Mexico, legally belongs to the citizens of
the state. It is not to be considered some commodity that
you can basically give away to a foreign corporation
so they can make bundles of cash. The entire plan is obscene.
.
WATER IS LIFE!
.
All over the planet multi-national corporations,
some mob-connected, some just greedy entrepreneurs, are
getting their hands on water resouces.
It's dark, and it's evil, and it's apocalyptic.
.
As part of an effort to educate the public,
WATER IS LIFE!

.
As part of an effort to educate the public,
and drum up support for the good guys, I've started
a blog on the matter - address further below.
One of the posts is basically a prayer - Psalm 29. Here it is.

PSALM 29
.
.
A SAN AUGUSTIN PLAINS PRAYER
.
.
.
A PSALM OF DAVID
.
.
Give to the LORD, you sons
of God,
give to the LORD glory and
might;
Give to the
LORD the glory due his name.
Bow down before the LORD’s
holy splendor!
.
The voice of the
LORD is over the waters;
the God of glory
thunders,
the LORD, over the mighty
waters.
The voice of the
LORD is power;
the voice of the LORD is
splendor.
.
The voice of the LORD cracks the
cedars;
the LORD splinters the
cedars of Lebanon,
Makes Lebanon leap like a
calf,
and Sirion like a young
bull.
.
.
The voice of the
LORD strikes with fiery flame;
the voice of the
LORD shakes the desert;
the LORD shakes the desert
of Kadesh.
.
The
voice of the LORD makes the deer
dance
and strips the forests
bare.
All in
his Temple say, “Glory!”
.
The LORD sits
enthroned above the flood!
The LORD reigns as king
forever!
May the LORD
give might to his people;
may the LORD bless his
people with peace!

The NRAO is one of the
many "PROTESTANTS,"
no, not like those nice Methodist or Lutheran folks who
live down the road, but in this case, it's legalese - lawyer talk -
for the GOOD GUYS, in the legal battle against
the WATER GRAB by the BAD GUYS,
who hide under a corporate shadow of secrecy.
