“NAWAPA could supply an additional 135 billion gallons of fresh water to the United States, Canada, and Mexico, plus power, and vast new areas of cultivation. It would involve thousands of skilled jobs to construct and operate.”
From our Feature this week: The North American Water and Power Alliance Project
A Note To Readers
Drought has increased in intensity over the past weeks throughout the Southwest region of the nation, especially in California. We begin with several reports, demonstrating an increased serious concern by water mangers.
And here we are in December and Red Alerts of fire danger are occurring daily, and we even have a major fire exploding in Southern California, and accompanying that are electricity shut-offs and alerts throughout the state, especially as high wind events in both northern and southern California are occurring.
Because of the ongoing drought, California’s water managers on Tuesday preliminarily allocated just 10% of requested water supplies to agencies that together serve more than 27 million Californians and 750,000 acres of farmland.
Concluding our reporting of current developments this week you may enjoy the report on China’s Chang’e 5 spacecraft landing on the Moon, which includes an amazing video. This mission will be the first in over 40 years that will dig up soil and rockets from the Moon’s surface and return the sample to the Earth.
Our Feature this week focuses on the long ago proposed North American Water and Power Project that was a highlight of the building of water infrastructure during the President John Kennedy administration.

This project was a continental water management system that brought about five percent of the waters of the Alaska and Yukon rivers to the entire west and midwest parts of the U.S. and to Mexico. It was endorsed by the Prime Minister of Canada and was active legislation in the U.S. Congress. As the insane financialization of the economy and the rise of environmentalism in the early years of the 1970s put a stop to actual real economy projects and investments, NAWAPA, too, faded from the agenda of the nation. During recent decades the LaRouche political organization has revived interest in the project and promoted it with studies, videos and articles.
Before we begin, first this:
Three weeks after the presidential election there still is no officially accepted President-elect. President Trump is contesting the reported vote in half-a-dozen contested states. While the media and the Democratic Party claim that Biden does deserve that title, there are at least 75 million Americans who know he would be an illegitimate president no matter how the fight turns out.
Biden’s “transition team” is a recycled Obama administration and full of the worst of the “regime change” war mongers, proponents of the insane “New Green Deal” and beholden to the Wall Street parasites who provided more than $100 million dollars to his campaign. Such an administration has already said they will virtually shut down the revived manned-space program, by putting off the scheduled Moon mission (Artemis) from its now scheduled landing of the first woman and the next man on the Moon in 2024. Delaying that mission to 2028 will mean killing it.
Antonio Guterres, the Secretary General of the United Nations, speaking Tuesday at the 2021 Global Humanitarian Overview at the UN, said: “This year, 2020, has been a year like no other. Conflict, climate change, and COVID-19 have created the greatest humanitarian challenge since the Second World War. The number of people at risk of starvation has doubled. Hundreds of millions of children are out of school. Levels of extreme poverty have risen for the first time in 22 years.”
There are few people who are not now aware, and frightened, that the world is in a state of disintegration—economically, socially, strategically and politically. The exception is China, and to a lesser extent the rest of East Asia.
That is the world we are faced with today.
I have presented in these reports many times what must be done. To summarize, the leaders of the U.S., Russia and China must meet and come to an agreement for joint action to address this crisis of civilization. The content must begin with the Four Laws presented by Lyndon LaRouche, applied internationally.
Those four laws are:
(1) The immediate re-enactment of the Glass-Steagall law instituted by U.S.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt, without modification, as to principle of action.
(2) Return to a system of top-down, and thoroughly defined, National Banking.
(3) The purpose of the use of a Federal Credit-system, is to generate high-productivity trends in improvements of employment, with the accompanying intention, to increase the physical-economic productivity and the standard of living of the persons and households of the United States.
(4) A Crash Program for Fusion and an expanded manned-space program.
