Banco Santander, the WWF, and Your Right to a Drink of Water

February 16, 2010 (LPAC)—The Spanish Banco Santander's Botin family are not merely errand boys for the British in banking; they are their hired hand in the monarchy's genocide project, as well.

Concretely: the Fundacion Marcelino Botin, the same private foundation which just concluded a four-year project building up Britain's "BRIC" operation against LaRouche's "Four Powers" strategy, is a handmaiden of Prince Philip's monstrous WWF operation to privatize and restrict human use of the world's water resources, a central part of its drive to kill off over three quarters of the human race as quickly as possible.

When Philip's WWF, along with Dutch collaborators, set up a global "Water Footprint" network in 2008, as a centralized strike force to force governments to restrict water consumption, the Botin Foundation added its ten-year-old global water project to the WWF effort. The "Water Footprint" fraud, spun off the WWF's "Ecological Footprint" operation—which suffered a strategic defeat in Copenhagen—churns out statistics as cooked as Banco Santander's books, "proving" the bald lie that human consumption of water, which they view as a "fixed resource," in agriculture, industry, and power generation, threatens the planet. By "fixed" resource, they mean they intend to do the "fixing," treating it as a commodity to either be bought and sold directly, or "virtually" over continents, in a manner suggestive of the insane cap-and-trade trading of "pollution" rights: the ultimate in monetarist insanity.

Take the approach advocated by the feudal Botin Foundation "Water Observatory." Their "experts" lecture around the world that use of water for agriculture is the key problem to be addressed. Countries which lack water should not worry about creating new water resources; they should just import their food from water-rich countries, and use their scarce resources for "more beneficial activities" than food self-sufficiency, such as cash crops and tourism. Environmental considerations must be added to the calculation of permissable water use. Thus, they propose that the motto of water experts must change from "More Crops and Jobs per Drop," to "More cash and nature per drop!"

This is not "theory." In Mexico today, the WWF's billionaire partner Carlos Slim is already running an experiment in privatization of water in the drug cartel-destroyed city of Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, and attempting to set up a similar "business" in Sonora, by pitting water-rationed urban dwellers against rural farmers producing food.
