The six specific categories of aggression Navarro lists could describe United States policies, or the British Empire’s as easily as it does China’s. These are, “Protect China’s Home Markets from Imports and Competition,” “Expand China’s Share of Global Markets,” “Secure and Control Core Natural Resources Globally,” “Dominate Traditional Manufacturing Industries,” “Acquire Key Technologies and Intellectual Property from Other Countries, Including the United States,” and “Capture the Emerging High-Technology Industries That Will Drive Future Economic Growth and Many Advancements in the Defense Industry.”

A Note To Readers
Context is everything. Thus, the necessary building and building of a new, higher platform of infrastructure, defined by the most advanced scientific and technological that dramatically increases the productivity of the nation, will not occur unless and until the insanity of the political process in the U.S. ends. How in the hell will great projects of water management be built that will deliver the amount of water required in California a few decades from now when the population of the state has doubled?
A case in point:
Too often, too many people, are too distracted to be able to focus their minds on what really is important. The really globally historic summit between President Trump and President Kim of North Korea occurred just a little over two weeks ago. But, within days of that event, the media, the Democrats, and even some Republicans, were throwing hysterical fits about 2,000 immigrant children separated from their parents. Forgotten is that the two presidents set in motion a process that eliminates the threat of nuclear war. Maybe that should be repeated: The two presidents set in motion a process that eliminates the threat of nuclear war. Of course, hypocrisy, the trademark of such hysterics, has its place here. Not even crocodile tears are shed by these people for the 100,000 homeless school children in New York City.

In two weeks time, the hysterics will have more to be hysterical about as President Trump has a summit meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. On their agenda is cooling down, and maybe even solving other major conflicts in the world, as in the Middle-east and Ukraine, and furthering the process now underway of ending British geopolitics of setting one nation against another.

In This Week’s Report
The drought is worsening in California as reported by the U.S. Drought Monitor. And of course, it being summer now, the first of very destructive and dangerous wild fires have erupted, with warnings that we could once again experience a really bad fire season.
The Oroville Dam Update this week includes two new videos, a report from the Department of Water Resources on construction progress, and an article passed by the U.S. Senate requiring an independent risk analysis of Oroville Dam.
Next, the Delta Tunnels continue to be the battle field for a much more important question– should the nation allow unlimited law suits against the building of infrastructure? Another article on the issue focuses on a rider to a Senate bill in the Congress.
We have highlighted in these reports for almost two years now that the affects of the five year drought have never ended. Whether that be more than 100 million dead trees (and they are still dying), the subsidence of the ground, causing millions in damage to roads, aqueducts and utilities, or the continued rationing of water to especially agricultural areas. We have a report on “Klamath farmers face ongoing water cutbacks” this week.
Little noticed by most, but of extreme importance for millions of people and the nations of the U.S. and Mexico is, our nation’s interdependence with Mexico in regard to water. Nearly two-thirds of our common border is defined by waterways, including a 1,255-mile stretch of the Rio Grande and a 24-mile chunk of the Colorado River.
It looks like two new, large reservoirs will be built in the state. The Sites Reservoir and one in the South Bay.
There is an interesting research project now underway that can extract lithium as a product of water desalination. And since the price of lithium is about $100 a pound, the cost of desalination can be greatly reduced.
The Feature this week focuses on the Fourth of LaRouche’s Four Laws: An expanded manned space program and a crash program to develop fusion energy.
