I stand before you as an emissary of the American people to deliver a message of hope and vision and a message of peace.
Our unprecedented meeting, the first between an American president and a leader of North Korea, proves that real change is indeed possible.
The past does not have to define the future. Yesterday’s conflict does not have to be tomorrow’s war. And as history has proven over and over again, adversaries can indeed become friends. We can honor the sacrifice of our forefathers by replacing the horrors of battle with the blessings of peace, and that’s what we’re doing, and that’s what we have done.
Our eyes are wide open, but peace is always worth the effort, especially in this case.
Anyone can make war, but only the most courageous can make peace. The current state of affairs cannot endure forever.
We dream of a future where all Koreans can live together in harmony, where families are reunited and hopes are reborn and where the light of peace chases away the darkness of war. This bright future is within, and this is what’s happening. It is right there, it’s within our reach. It’s going to be there. It’s going to happen.
It’s a very great day. It’s a very great moment in the history of the world.
President Donald Trump
Opening statement at his press conference in Singapore, June 12, 2018
A Note To Readers
Not since President John Kennedy has a U.S. President expressed so eloquently a vision of the future that must be the mission of this nation, and all nations.
The President, indeed, has set the bar very high, and it is in that spirit that all the barriers to not just world peace, but to real economic development, can be overcome.
What does this have to do with California’s infrastructure and water? If you need to ask, you have not been paying attention. If so, perhaps you should really study the LaRouche PAC report:
Campaign to Win the Future– A New Padadigm for Mankind: LaRouche’s Four Laws for Economic Recovery.

In This Week’s Report
Drought is spreading and intensifying throughout the Western States, and even western Canada. The U.S. Drought Monitor for California continues to show a very slow intensification of drought, but the other states surrounding us see a much more rapid process of growing serious drought. And it is creating the potential for a very dangerous fire season.
The Oroville Dam Update this week only has a construction update video.
That is followed by an article on the changes in global water availability, which presents an interesting picture of the recent shifts in the amount of water available region by region. The article by a serious scientist, Jay Famiglietti, to be warned, does take as a given climate change as a driving factor, though he does not say that it is man-caused.
The Poseidon desalination plant plant project for Huntington Beach continues to move toward permit approval and it could be built and pumping fresh water into Orange County in 2020.
The 12 Northern California wildfires last year that killed 41 people, and were the largest fires in California history, investigators have concluded, were sparked by PG&E power lines. PG&E, of course is attempting to deflect the blame. My headline for the section is, “Now the Lawyers Will Have Their Day.”
The Delta Tunnels, or as the formal name calls the project, CaliforniaFix, has been charged by opponents of using political maneuvers to fix the game for approval to go ahead. There is something to that charge, but what else is new? What is of interest is that legislation introduced to Congress this week, perhaps provides a means of stopping the incessant environmentalist blocking of infrastructure projects for years, or even decades. See the section titled, “How To Defeat Environmentalist Blocking of Infrastructure Projects.”
That is followed by the report on the initiative that will be on the California ballot in November on whether to split the state into three states. This one is sponsored by a billionaire Silicon Valley liberal and thus we have the phenomenon of Confederates disguised as liberals.
The last section is simply “Infrastructure Developments,” and contains a variety of items. Among them is a report on my friend and colleague Kesha Rogers, who is an independent candidate for the U.S. Congress from Houston, Texas.
