1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Hidden power, secrets, cover-ups, corruption.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
You think you know the whole story?

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Think again.

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
I've been governor, a Navy SEAL, a fighter.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
I've heard things that'll blow your mind,

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000
and now I think it's time you get the whole story.

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Now, the plot to control the world by controlling the water supply.

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
It's theft, it's hijacking.

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
It's so valuable, it's known as blue gold.

10
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
It's so precious, only 2% of the world's supply is drinkable.

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Fortune magazine is saying that water will determine the wealth of nations.

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000
You'll die without it, and they'll kill you for it.

13
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
It's all about money.

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Jesse Ventura exposes the conspirators, ruthless corporations that steal your water and sell it back to you.

15
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
They sell it more expensive than gasoline.

16
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Greedy billionaires who want to control the water you get at home.

17
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,000
The worst one is T-Boon Pickets in Texas.

18
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Sneaky conglomerates draining the Great Lakes dry.

19
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
We figured they make a million dollars a day of pure profit.

20
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,000
And Jesse goes predator to expose the most sinister plot yet.

21
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
A plan to poison us all.

22
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:48,000
We're going to give an anti-psychotic that they give people in mental institutions to every man, woman, and child in America.

23
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
And destroy our nation as part of a communist takeover.

24
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000
The end game is to increase the power of China.

25
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,000
At the same time, we can aim at taking down the United States.

26
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
The worldwide water conspiracy.

27
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
We need your help right now. We need your help on this one bad.

28
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
I'm Jesse Ventura, and this is Conspiracy Theory.

29
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Jesse Ventura's investigation into a worldwide water conspiracy has led him deep into the woods of Michigan.

30
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Disguised as a game preserve, locked behind tall fences,

31
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:41,000
giant pumps are taking millions of gallons of water and draining the Great Lakes.

32
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Sanctuary bullsh**. This isn't a sanctuary. It looks more like a crime scene.

33
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000
This is one conspiracy that really hits home.

34
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000
I'm from Minnesota, land of 10,000 lakes.

35
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Out here, you don't think much about water problems.

36
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
At least I didn't. Not until I met Lee Sprague.

37
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,000
He's an environmentalist. He wanted to meet me at Lake Mead in Nevada.

38
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
That's the largest reservoir in the United States.

39
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000
As soon as I got there, I could see something wasn't right.

40
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:30,000
20% of the people in the world do not have access to fresh water. That's 1.2 billion people.

41
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000
And that's right now. That's right now.

42
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,000
And it's only going to get worse.

43
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Not only that, but within 20 years, if this continues, only the wealthy will be able to afford water.

44
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Lee Sprague didn't waste time getting to the point.

45
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
In the last five months alone, Jesse, the lake clubs have dropped 15 feet.

46
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
It's not like they're in the middle of a drought or anything?

47
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,000
No, it's not the middle of a drought. What's happening is that they're using the water faster than the natural systems can recharge this lake.

48
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Now, I'm an old frogman, Lee, and I can see what was a high water mark.

49
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Yeah.

50
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:11,000
So the water used to be up there, and where we're standing right now, I'd need my scuba tanks in the old days, right?

51
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Absolutely. We'd be 50 feet underwater.

52
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
In 1999, Jesse, this lake was full.

53
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Lake Mead was full of water.

54
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Full.

55
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
It's down to 40% of its capacity.

56
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Lake Mead supplies about 30 million users in the Southwest.

57
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Nevada, Arizona, California, even northern Mexico relies on it for water.

58
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
If it runs dry, a lot of people are going to go thirsty.

59
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
And they're not alone.

60
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Water levels are dropping all over the world.

61
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Lee, who's behind all this?

62
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Multinational corporations.

63
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000
They're buying the rights to the water for their own private use and personal gain.

64
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000
These multinational corporations are going after our water to sell it back to us.

65
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000
You heard right.

66
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Taking something that's necessary for life and then selling it back to you and me.

67
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000
This ain't about capitalism. Nope. It's bigger than that.

68
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Lee Sprig was telling a story right out of the Wild West with thievery, water wars, and land grabs.

69
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,000
They're making deals with corrupt governments to actually privatize the water system.

70
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
And it's all about the bottom line for them.

71
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
It's not about life.

72
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Privateization.

73
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:40,000
When big corporations come in and take over a city's or a country's water services,

74
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
they set out to turn a profit.

75
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
So they jack up prices.

76
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,000
To make more profit, they cut their staff and cut corners.

77
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
They get dirty money.

78
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Consumers get dirty water.

79
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Where the hell are the polypons?

80
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Where the hell are the politicians on this?

81
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Unfortunately, a lot of the politicians are in bed with multinational corporations.

82
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,000
You start following the trail to it and it all comes back to their greed

83
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:17,000
and their ability to accept the dirty money from special interest groups to get what they want.

84
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Lee, what do you anticipate for the future?

85
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,000
I see a catastrophe worldwide.

86
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000
We need your help right now.

87
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
We need your help on this one, dad.

88
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,000
With water disappearing all over the planet, one thing's for sure.

89
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Sometime in the near future, whoever's got the most water is going to be in charge of everything.

90
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
It's something out of a James Bond movie.

91
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,000
But this ain't the movies.

92
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000
It's definitely something to bring to my team.

93
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
He's not kidding, Gubbina.

94
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Water is a hot commodity these days.

95
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
They're calling it blue gold.

96
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Like black gold, it's even more valuable than oil.

97
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Exactly.

98
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Fortune magazine is saying that water will determine the wealth of nations.

99
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Yeah, and there's a CIA report that says access to drinking water is going to be the major cause of war in the near future.

100
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000
It's basically privatization of something that should be a human right.

101
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
I think it's a little more complicated than that.

102
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Actually, it's not Daniel. I've covered this issue all around the world.

103
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Let's take Ghana, where my family are from.

104
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000
They have had terrible problems with water.

105
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Poor people cannot get clean water in the city.

106
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:40,000
So the World Bank brought in a company privatized drinking water and sanitation.

107
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,000
What happened?

108
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
There was mismanagement, corruption.

109
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000
People had to go out and protest, so those contracts were canceled.

110
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,000
That's problematic because I know for a fact that there are over 1,500 municipalities here in America that are doing the exact same thing,

111
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,000
to privatize their water.

112
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Woo, that's a lot.

113
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,000
The terrible thing, Gubbina, is it's the same companies.

114
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Yeah, the same companies that are doing it in the third world are doing it right here in America.

115
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000
It looks to me like somebody's trying to control the world's water.

116
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
That is a conspiracy.

117
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Coming up.

118
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Jesse Ventura targets the ruthless powers that'll let you die of thirst before they give you a drop for free.

119
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000
It's not just privatization. It's theft. It's hijacking.

120
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Later, he confronts a giant corporation's plot to dream the Great Lakes dry.

121
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000
They're coming here reaping and pillaging the water.

122
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
I would call them the water barons, the water cartels.

123
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Also, T-Boone Piggins.

124
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:46,000
The old oil baron is caught in the act with his own greedy billion-dollar water scheme.

125
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
He's drilling for water. He's bought up the land. Water is the new oil.

126
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Controlling the water supply means controlling the world.

127
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:11,000
International corporations and shadowy groups are sucking our rivers and lakes dry for profit and power.

128
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:16,000
I sent my team to see if there's any truth to this water conspiracy.

129
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000
June arranged to meet a guy named Sam Basel.

130
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:28,000
He makes documentaries, and he dug deep to expose the ones taking control of people's water around the world.

131
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:35,000
So tell me about privatization, because a lot of the water supplies around the world are now being privately owned.

132
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:41,000
The big companies are Viola and Suez from France, because privatization started in France.

133
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,000
And that wasn't such an issue when it was local.

134
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000
But what has happened is these companies has expanded all over the world.

135
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:57,000
So you see a company like Viola going to a poor country in the developing world and buying their water system.

136
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,000
And selling it back to the people.

137
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Because it's a for-profit system, they need to make money.

138
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,000
And they always raise the rates because they need to make a profit.

139
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Imagine life without water.

140
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Companies like Viola and Suez have the power to decide who gets it and who doesn't.

141
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Look at a map and see where they've got their hooks.

142
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:31,000
And notice, these foreign corporations are moving into the cities all over the good old USA and controlling our water too.

143
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,000
So is there a water conspiracy?

144
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Yes. The ultimate conspiracy is a company bribing politicians has no regulation.

145
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,000
But even if a government owns it, that's too much control.

146
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,000
In China, they use dams to cut off water to villages regularly, the government, for control issues.

147
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,000
But what Chinese word for water derives from the same Chinese word, control.

148
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Yeah, China's got a down pat when it comes to controlling people.

149
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
And control is what it's all about.

150
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Corporations and governments controlling who lives and who dies.

151
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,000
What could be worse than that?

152
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Todd Alcott was itching to tell me.

153
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,000
He's part of a group that cleaned up Santa Monica Bay in California.

154
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:23,000
You've probably heard that corporations are controlling all of the water in the world now.

155
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,000
That's the word that I'm getting preliminarily.

156
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,000
It's not just corporations.

157
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:34,000
We're talking about individuals taking control of massive amounts of water all over the world.

158
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Individuals? What kind of people are able to seize this kind of power?

159
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Todd Alcott had a list.

160
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Did you know that the Bush family has bought up 100,000 acres of land in Paraguay?

161
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
For what purpose?

162
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,000
It's because that land is sitting on top of the largest aquifer in the world.

163
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000
They can suck it dry and then sell the water back to the people who live there.

164
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000
The Bushes.

165
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000
They've been in the oil business for four generations.

166
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Looks like they found something even more profitable.

167
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:16,000
If they control the source and delivery of water, they control who gets it and how much they pay for it.

168
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
They can rule the region.

169
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,000
What you're telling me, the Bushes are going into water?

170
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000
That's exactly what's happening. And it's not just the Bushes.

171
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000
It's not just developing countries.

172
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,000
It's happening right here in the United States.

173
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000
The worst one is T. Boone Pickens in Texas.

174
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:44,000
T. Boone Pickens. He's the Texas oil tycoon who made billions buying up oil companies in the 80s.

175
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,000
And this guy said he's got a scheme to make a billion dollars more.

176
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,000
I guess oil and water do mix.

177
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,000
You know this for a fact. He's drilling for water.

178
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:03,000
He has bought up this huge amount of land in the Texas Panhandle, again, over the largest aquifer in the United States.

179
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:10,000
This is all public knowledge. And under Texas law, any water that he can reach under his land, he gets it for free.

180
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000
He's taking the water and selling it for profit.

181
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:18,000
The water that should be belonging to everybody, he's going to be controlling that whole region now.

182
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:24,000
T. Boone's plot is centered on a property he owns in the North Texas Panhandle.

183
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:35,000
The Mesa Vista Ranch is 68,000 acres and it sits on top of a huge underground reservoir called the Ogallala Aquifer.

184
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,000
T. Boone doesn't own the aquifer.

185
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:45,000
But in Texas, if you can get to the water by drilling under your land, it's yours.

186
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:52,000
T. Boone got to it. And he isn't shy about the scheme.

187
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:58,000
I know what people say that water is a lot like air. You charge for air, of course not.

188
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:05,000
You shouldn't charge for water. Well, okay, watch what happens. You won't have any water.

189
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,000
And that ain't the half of it.

190
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:17,000
I sent Daniel to the Mesa Vista Ranch to see what else T. Boone Pickens is up to.

191
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Coming up, T. Boone Pickens' plot to make a land grab and sell one of America's most important water sources.

192
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:33,000
I bought the green, I had the blue, and I have about half of the yellow.

193
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Then, the plot sickenes. The scheme to control you by adding a dangerous mind-altering drug to your drinking water.

194
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Okay, we're going to give you an anti-psychotic that they give people in mental institutions.

195
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,000
We're going to give it to every man, woman, and child in America.

196
00:14:51,000 --> 00:15:04,000
And later, stealing from your children's mouths, the governor finds the biggest, most dangerous water grab is taking place right in his own backyard.

197
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Never thought it would lead me back home.

198
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Just even Torrentia's team are on the move, zeroing in on T. Boone Pickens and corporations snatching up the world's precious water.

199
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:53,000
The whole team was tracking leads. My investigator Daniel was in the Texas Panhandle, learning about T. Boone Pickens' scheme.

200
00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:02,000
He was with C. E. Williams, the guy who's supposed to oversee the public's water in the area.

201
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:07,000
C. E. is getting mad as hell, watching T. Boone Pickens.

202
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,000
He's been addressing big old wells here.

203
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Yeah.

204
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
And then, suck up the water.

205
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,000
And put it in a big pipeline and ship it to Dallas.

206
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Not only Dallas, Fort Worth, T. Boone's also got his sights set on cities like El Paso and San Antonio.

207
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,000
When they need water, they'll have to come to him.

208
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,000
But in order to get the water from here to there, he has to lay this big old pipeline.

209
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Yes.

210
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Now, does he own all the land between here and there?

211
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,000
No.

212
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000
So how's that going to work?

213
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Well, what he did, and you have to give him credit, he's a very tenacious person.

214
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,000
He used Texas waterlog.

215
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Used Texas law?

216
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Try changed the law.

217
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:56,000
T. Boone spent millions buying up lobbyists and politicians, and got his ranch declared a water district.

218
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Basically a town with special powers, like the power of eminent domain, to buy up people's land, to lay his pipeline, whether they want to sell or not.

219
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
His influence is very significant.

220
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:16,000
He's a heavy contributor to campaigns, and he knows how to play the political game.

221
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,000
A lot of people in Texas call it a scam.

222
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Old T. Boone, he says it's just good business.

223
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:29,000
I would expect to make over a 30-year period of probably a billion dollars.

224
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000
It's theft, it's hijacking.

225
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Meanwhile, my conspiracy insider Alex Jones was giving me his take on T. Boone and the giant corporations.

226
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Water is more important than energy, it's more important than food, and if you can control only about one to two percent of the total water, you can dominate society.

227
00:17:49,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Well, clearly they've got to be buying off the politicians, the elected officials, because in order to drill a well, obviously you've got to meet local standards and someone has to approve it.

228
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:13,000
That's what's happening. They're coming in and buying off state and local officials to allow them, in many cases, to have the only access to the water, so that they control it and then can jack up the price.

229
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:18,000
And if these multinational corporations can control water, they will control everything.

230
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,000
And once they get their mitts on the water, it gets even scarier.

231
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Alex was about to drop a bombshell that would literally blow your mind.

232
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,000
A plot to fill our water with mind-bending drugs.

233
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Some of these major corporations are now saying, hey, we want to add lithium to the water to make you calm and lower suicides all over.

234
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:46,000
We're going to give you an anti-psychotic that they give people in mental institutions.

235
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
We're going to give it to every man, woman, and child in America.

236
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Putting drugs in the water?

237
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:57,000
They've been putting fluoride in the water for years to fight tooth decay, but mind decay?

238
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000
That's a whole other matter.

239
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:06,000
June was finding out that these companies have more than one way to drug or poison us.

240
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Well, that's a recipe for disaster.

241
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,000
She was in Tucson, Arizona with Robert Glennon.

242
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,000
He's one of the leading water experts in the world.

243
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,000
And he says the biggest threat comes in bottles of water.

244
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Because there's nothing to stop them from filling those bottles with poison.

245
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,000
I'm not a fan of bottled water.

246
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:34,000
It's not regulated nearly as carefully as his domestic water use, which has to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act.

247
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,000
So really, we don't know what we're drinking in bottled water.

248
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,000
That's right.

249
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Think about it.

250
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:45,000
No government agency regulates what's in the bottle of water you buy.

251
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Not the FDA, not anybody.

252
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,000
They can be putting anything they want into the water.

253
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Lithium? Who knows what else?

254
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,000
And I think that's frankly reprehensible.

255
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Because it's all about money.

256
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,000
It's all about money.

257
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Money. We knew it was headed in that direction all along, but it was another direction that was about to make this very personal.

258
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,000
So where do you think we should go to investigate this further?

259
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,000
I think the Great Lakes, because there are some problems in the Great Lakes that no one would expect.

260
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:26,000
And if our biggest supply of fresh water is facing threats, then every place is facing threats.

261
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,000
The Great Lakes? More like a great heist.

262
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:37,000
I'm headed home to see who's stealing our water.

263
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Coming up, Jesse Ventura goes predator and confronts the secret Great Lakes heist.

264
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:50,000
Sanctuary bullsh**. This isn't a sanctuary. It looks more like a crime scene.

265
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Then Jesse barges in on the conspirator.

266
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Is there a conspiracy out there to control the world's water?

267
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:04,000
And later, it all leads to China.

268
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,000
A sinister plot to destroy our nation.

269
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,000
It's killing our future generation.

270
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:24,000
You're telling me they're stealing water from the Great Lakes?

271
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:31,000
I was skeptical as well, but water levels there are dropping because they're pulling water out faster than nature can replace it.

272
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Jesse Ventura's investigation into the worldwide water conspiracy has taken another surprise twist.

273
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Revelations about an unregulated bottled water industry have led the discovery that multinational corporations are doing more than profiting.

274
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,000
They're sucking the water from the aquifers to feed the Great Lakes.

275
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,000
You know, I never thought this would take me back home.

276
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,000
The investigation took me back home, all right. Back to Minnesota.

277
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:16,000
I was there to meet Dave Dempsey. He's been fighting to protect the Great Lakes for more than 25 years.

278
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:22,000
He used to work for the governor of Michigan, but he got fed up with the politics and went independent.

279
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,000
I found him in Minneapolis, not far from my old governor's office.

280
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
The Great Lakes, they're huge.

281
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Six quadrillion gallons if you can visualize that.

282
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Six quadrillion gallons spread out over 94,000 square miles.

283
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:46,000
They hold enough to cover the continental U.S. in about 10 feet of water.

284
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Almost 20% of the world's fresh water is right in the Great Lakes.

285
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,000
The River Controls is going to control a lot of our world's economy.

286
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,000
So who does control it?

287
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000
That's at the heart of the conspiracy.

288
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:09,000
Foreign countries, even enemies, are stealing our water in broad daylight and corrupt politicians are in on it.

289
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:19,000
There's a company that in 1998 got a permit to take 50 freighters worth of water out of Lake Superior and ship it to Asia.

290
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,000
And so there's this huge public outcry.

291
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,000
And so the politicians said, well, we're going to craft an agreement that will make sure this never happens again.

292
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:31,000
And it turns out that the agreement doesn't deal with shipping water.

293
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000
It seems like they designed it to have a loophole.

294
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Oh, absolutely. The only difference between now and 1998 is you have to put it in a bottle and you can put it in a ship in whatever quantity you want. Take it out.

295
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Our water being sneaked out to China in huge amounts.

296
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:54,000
We caught them, but they could still be doing it only a gallon at a time.

297
00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Dave, water that's being taken from the Great Lakes right now, where's it ending up?

298
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:07,000
You know, we really can't say because the companies that are bottling and taking the water out of the Great Lakes don't really disclose that.

299
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Well, I was going to find out coming in and buying up water is just plain capitalism.

300
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Sneaking it out in cargo ships or bottles, sending it to other countries where it can be stockpiled, adding poisons to the water, that's a conspiracy.

301
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,000
Governor, you need to go to Michigan and see where this battle is going on right now.

302
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Michigan doesn't even charge a dime of royalties for water, let alone control it anymore.

303
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Here's the map. Show me where.

304
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
I was headed to Michigan.

305
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,000
It's been a water battle front for 10 years now.

306
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Ever since a Swiss company called Nestle moved in under the name of Perrier.

307
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Michigan's governor at the time gave the big foreign company millions of dollars in tax breaks.

308
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:06,000
And he charged Nestle less than a hundred bucks a year to drill, pump and pipe hundreds of gallons of water every minute.

309
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Governor John Engler wouldn't talk to me. He says he doesn't discuss his time in office.

310
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Yeah, I wonder why.

311
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:26,000
I sat down on old Mission Peninsula jutting into Lake Michigan's Traverse Bay.

312
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,000
The effects of the pumping were evident, but not the pumps themselves.

313
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,000
That's because the water's getting sucked from miles away.

314
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,000
You can't see them taking the water, but you can't miss the results.

315
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:54,000
My contact, Holly Spalding, was waiting, just like Dave Dempsey promised. Holly?

316
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:00,000
So we know huge amounts of water being drawn by the corporations. They're taking as much as they can get.

317
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,000
And the real sad part is they're doing it with the blessing of our government.

318
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:12,000
And this is a global international corporation that has put the eye on Michigan.

319
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:17,000
And they're coming here and for lack of better term, raping and pillaging the water.

320
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:22,000
I would put them in the class with any other sort of barren, call them the water barrens, the water cartel.

321
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Holly Spalding told me I could find the big water plant about 120 miles south.

322
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,000
The pumps, they were even farther away.

323
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,000
Daniel and I would attack from two fronts.

324
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Coming up, Jesse Ventura plays Predator to hunt down the Great Lakes water thieves.

325
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Sanctuary bullsh**.

326
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Then, the governor confronts the water conspirators, man in Washington.

327
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:01,000
You could really decide who lives and who dies if you control the fresh water, right?

328
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:12,000
And later, a shocking twist as the worldwide water conspiracy unravels and leads all the way to a Chinese takeover.

329
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:19,000
They're taking our best water and they're leaving the toilet water for us to drink.

330
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
The Great Lakes

331
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Jesse Ventura is at the Great Lakes where water is being siphoned in secrecy,

332
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000
shipped off to foreign countries,

333
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:43,000
delivered to unfriendly powers through convenient loopholes and international agreements.

334
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,000
And what happens if we run out?

335
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Ecosystems and the food supply destroyed.

336
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Industry halted.

337
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,000
The collapse of a nation.

338
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:00,000
The rise of other nations quietly grabbing up the water for themselves.

339
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
That is what the governor is facing.

340
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:12,000
My investigator Daniel and I were in Mikasta County, Michigan.

341
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:18,000
This is where the Nestle Corporation pumps and bottles precious water that should be feeding the lakes.

342
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Daniel's assignment was the Stanwood bottling plant.

343
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
He couldn't miss it.

344
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Mine wasn't so obvious.

345
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Those pumps out in the middle of the woods, in secret where nobody can see or hear them sucking the lakes dry.

346
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:48,000
I picked up a guide in Traverse City.

347
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Chris Swire is a local guy who led the fight against the giant corporation.

348
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:58,000
He thought it was a good idea if we brought along some security.

349
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,000
You never know what's out there in the woods.

350
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:09,000
So what they're doing now, they're going off to these remote places and drawing off the water.

351
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Because now they can't directly take from the great lakes, right?

352
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Correct.

353
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:22,000
So the way they're getting around it is by drilling and pumping out the water that goes into the lake.

354
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Daniel showed up at the plant with someone the water people would recognize.

355
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:39,000
Don Roy has been in their face, fighting their plans to take even more water.

356
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:46,000
It's the Nestle Waters of North America bottling plant and it's been here for about 10 years now.

357
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,000
They actually started building it when we were in trial.

358
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,000
What was the trial?

359
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Michigan Citizens for Water Conservation filed a lawsuit.

360
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Our lawsuit was based upon environmental harm, real environmental harm.

361
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Of course we found a significant drop in flow and levels to a stream, wetlands and two lakes.

362
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,000
How much water are we talking about?

363
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:12,000
Somewhere around 90 million gallons from one pumping site.

364
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,000
90 million gallons a year?

365
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Yes, from one pumping site.

366
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,000
So what kind of environmental impacts literally have there been?

367
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000
There were no fish.

368
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Dead fish? How about a dead stream?

369
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Me and my special team were working our way to the pumps when we got to stare down the environmental damage.

370
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,000
The dead stream.

371
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,000
And that's the official name for it.

372
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:52,000
A lot of the hydrologists and environmental experts have shown that Nestle's pumping upstream has affected what's happening here in this dead stream.

373
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,000
And what are they doing in the plant?

374
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Daniel went to the gate and one of the employees came out.

375
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
You're working, you're just working.

376
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,000
If you have a pump, I can give you information.

377
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,000
You can't tell me?

378
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
No, that's for the pump.

379
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,000
There's controversial about water.

380
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,000
About the water.

381
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:25,000
And frankly the right to someone who should be able to make a problem with this in the deep.

382
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,000
There's nothing I can ask you, there's nothing you can tell me.

383
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:34,000
I guarantee it, but I will go back and call and I'll be back soon because I can.

384
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,000
The water boy went inside, but not to set up a tour.

385
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Too many questions meant one thing.

386
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,000
He called the cops.

387
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Try calling 911 and getting a response this quick.

388
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Sir, any problem?

389
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:02,000
They called me saying that you guys were filming the plant, it's a concern.

390
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Obviously it's not a critical infrastructure, it's not a government infrastructure.

391
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
It's a local business, right?

392
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Yeah, I mean it's something we're interested in.

393
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,000
I'll put it this way, you guys are going to be in a report.

394
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Meanwhile, we've made it to the place where Nestle was pumping all the Great Lakes water out of the ground.

395
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,000
At least we got as close as we could.

396
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:37,000
They had the pumps hidden on a private hunting reserve, behind two sets of fences.

397
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000
This is private property here now, right?

398
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,000
It is, right.

399
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Yeah, that's part of the problem.

400
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Sanctuary bullc**t.

401
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,000
This isn't a sanctuary, it looks more like a crime scene.

402
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
There were no answers here.

403
00:32:52,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Whatever they were doing, wherever the water was going, was locked behind tall fences.

404
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,000
So I took it to the top.

405
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Washington, D.C.

406
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,000
I was going to face the real power in this town.

407
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,000
Not the government, a lobbyist.

408
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,000
Michael Dean is the director of the National Association of Water Companies.

409
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,000
He represents bottlers and privatizers.

410
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Turns out he's from Minnesota too.

411
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Maybe he thought we'd bond.

412
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Fat chance.

413
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:35,000
Is there a conspiracy out there to control the world's water?

414
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,000
None at all.

415
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,000
No.

416
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Do bottled water companies bottle your tap water and sell it to the public?

417
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:47,000
They don't just take it rough, they put it through reverse osmosis, further treatment,

418
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,000
and put it into the bottle and then sell it.

419
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:56,000
And if that's a business that's viable for them, it's a business that's viable for them.

420
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,000
And if they're not going to sell it, they're going to sell it.

421
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:05,000
And if that's a business that's viable for them and someone wants to...

422
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Well, they've obviously done a good sell job on it.

423
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,000
They sell it more expensive than gasoline.

424
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,000
They're charging over a dollar a quart.

425
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Does your tap water cost a dollar a quart to reproduce?

426
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Oh, no, we're close to it.

427
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,000
What would you be, a nickel?

428
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,000
Not even for a quart, absolutely not.

429
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Not even a nickel?

430
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:26,000
A gallon is probably a penny or less depending where you are in the country.

431
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Really? So it'd be, can he eat two cents a gallon?

432
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:34,000
Whereas opposed to bottled water is over four dollars a gallon.

433
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,000
There's a public relations problem.

434
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,000
I didn't expect him to admit that.

435
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:47,000
But when it came to the companies he reps, there were some things he couldn't deny.

436
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Your organization represents cities have been messed up by water privatization,

437
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,000
and the list is long.

438
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,000
I'm not sure what the list, what is behind the list.

439
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Well, they're there for profit.

440
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,000
And wouldn't this be water for profit?

441
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,000
I'm not prepared to get into specifics.

442
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Yeah, that's one way out.

443
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,000
But it still got down to what was going on at the Great Lakes.

444
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,000
What are these companies doing with the water?

445
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Where is it going?

446
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:24,000
When conspiracy theories float around out there, it's generally because people aren't given answers.

447
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Why would people start up theories about water, do you think?

448
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Water is a highly political matter.

449
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,000
There can't be anything sinister.

450
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,000
No one's shipping, no one's taking water.

451
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:42,000
You could control great populations, you could really decide who lives and who dies

452
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,000
if you control the fresh water though, right?

453
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Yes, but as I said, private water companies are not gathering up water,

454
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,000
before they get to sending it around the world.

455
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:59,000
It looked like this guy was wrestling me to a draw, until I met someone who'd make him eat his words.

456
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:06,000
She showed up in Minnesota, and what she told me knocked me back on my heels.

457
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:17,000
Coming up, explosive accusations about China taking your water and what they plan to do with it.

458
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:24,000
They're taking our water, dragging it across the Pacific Ocean, and they are pumping it into their aquifers.

459
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Jesse Ventura's investigation into the worldwide water conspiracy

460
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:45,000
led to America's Great Lakes and major discoveries.

461
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,000
An industry with no regulation.

462
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:54,000
Lakes and rivers suck dry by foreign corporations.

463
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Water tainted with mind controlling drugs.

464
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:05,000
And now, startling charges that foreign enemies are stockpiling our precious resource.

465
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:13,000
The governor confronted a lobbyist for the water industry who remained elusive.

466
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Private water companies are not gathering up water, before they get to sending it around the world.

467
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,000
But that's about to change.

468
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:27,000
It was a couple of weeks ago. I was back in Minnesota.

469
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:32,000
The team was planning the next move when they called to say we had some answers.

470
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Some really disturbing answers.

471
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Braverman showed up with Lauren More.

472
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:46,000
She was a uranium specialist at the Lawrence Livermore National Nuclear Laboratory.

473
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:51,000
And she's known internationally as an expert on radiation and public health.

474
00:37:51,000 --> 00:38:00,000
Lauren More told me she's found uranium in our drinking water, along with the lithium Alex Jones warned about.

475
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Lithium is used for people with bipolar disorder or manic depressive.

476
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,000
It slows down and calms the brain.

477
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,000
It makes the person docile.

478
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:19,000
Since uranium is an estrogen and a hormone disruptor, the female population is expanding and the male population is shrinking.

479
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,000
We're being neutered.

480
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Not only that, the population is growing.

481
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:39,000
Not only that, the plastic that the water is in, the bottle, has chemicals that change the estrogen and the testosterone.

482
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:45,000
In other words, chemicals in our bodies that are related to reproduction.

483
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Right. In the plastic.

484
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,000
In the plastic.

485
00:38:48,000 --> 00:39:01,000
And then you have the hormones in the plastics in the bottle or hormone disruptors interacting with the radiation and the other materials that are in the water.

486
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:05,000
So you have one plus one is not two.

487
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:09,000
It's ten times worse the way they interact.

488
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,000
It's killing our future generations.

489
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:23,000
It's the unborn baby that is being most affected by these chemicals and the radiation and nobody even knows.

490
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:30,000
And those water bottles making a sterile. One guess where they're made. China.

491
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:38,000
And as it turns out, it's all part of a bigger conspiracy. A global power shift.

492
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Countries, for instance, China, that are short on water are coming to countries where they have access to the water.

493
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:53,000
We have a huge debt to China, so we probably have to let them steal it.

494
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:59,000
And she claimed the water is being shipped to China as we speak.

495
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:05,000
They have a new technique. It's called sprague bags. They're 500 feet long.

496
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:10,000
They are huge plastic bladders that zip together like ziplock bags.

497
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:15,000
And they can tow 50 at a time across the ocean behind a boat.

498
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:27,000
And they're taking our best water, stealing it, and they are pumping it into their aquifers that are being drained because of the Three Damns project.

499
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:38,000
That's got to be the wildest one yet. Taking our water to recharge aquifers they used up when they built the world's largest electricity generating project.

500
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Literally more power to them and less to us.

501
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,000
They're taking our water, dragging it across the Pacific Ocean.

502
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Stockpiling it.

503
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Stockpiling it. They're pumping our champagne water into their aquifers and they're leaving the toilet water for us to drink.

504
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,000
So what's the end game here?

505
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:04,000
The end game is to increase the power and the influence of China.

506
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:11,000
And at the same time they're weakening and taking down the United States.

507
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:20,000
Drugging, stealing, watching and waiting. And they might even be getting away with it one gallon at a time.

508
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:26,000
You have to put it in a bottle then you can put it in the ship in whatever quantity you want and take it out.

509
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,000
It's happening right now.

510
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,000
Right now.

511
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,000
So it's not important right now.

512
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,000
It's happening.

513
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:44,000
If anybody's got a right to anything in this world you'd figure it would be water.

514
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:57,000
But now it's just like oil. Another product to be bought and sold by faceless greedy corporations, hungry power brokers and all the evil bastards who want to rule the world.

515
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:03,000
And they are ruling the world by controlling the one thing all of us need to survive.

516
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:08,000
They're doing it right in front of us in ways we can't even see.

517
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Every time you pay for a bottle of water you're part of the conspiracy.

518
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,000
And what happens when the water runs out?

519
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:20,000
They'll just find a way to control the air that you breathe.

520
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Think I'm kidding? Don't hold your breath.

521
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:27,000
I'm Jesse Ventura and this is Conspiracy Theory.

522
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:53,000
Conspiracy Theory
