Kesha Rogers: "Announcing NAWAPA, The TVA of the 21st Century"

Texas Democratic Congressional candidate Kesha Rogers yesterday issued the first of what will soon be a series of statements and initiatives on launching the North American Water And Power Project (NAWAPA) as the crucial biosphere-transforming project to rebuild the U.S. economy, coming from all three LaRouche Democratic Congressional campaigns. NAWAPA has been identified by leading economist Lyndon LaRouche as a feasible operation which will lay the groundwork for hemispheric development, including the Bering Strait project, and the development of a rail system from Alaska to Cape Horn.

Given the immediate, positive impact such a project will have for water-short and bankrupt California, a key role in pushing this project will be played by Summer Shields, who is running a write-in campaign against Nancy Pelosi.

In her statement today, Rogers stressed the immediate impact of adopting this project.

"Since September is the month marking a physical-economic boundary condition," Rogers wrote, "the boundary that economist Lyndon LaRouche has warned marks the onset period of global hyperinflation — unless Obama is removed, and our commercial banks are protected by Glass-Steagall regulations — then September should be the month by which we commit ourselves to finally building the TVA of the 21st Century, the North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA). After decades of small thinking has brought our nation to its ruin, only such big ideas as NAWAPA can give our children a future."

"The basic idea is to divert runoff water from Alaska and Canada into a continent-sized aquifer, canal, and irrigation system, transforming the Great American Desert into a fertile breadbasket, while simultaneously providing clean water for our cities and industrial centers. This will necessarily employ millions in productive work, maintain national sovereignty, and develop massive amounts of domestic hydroelectric and nuclear power. It will also necessarily force a repeal of the century-old environmentalist policies of Teddy Roosevelt, which have kept the central U.S.A. underdeveloped, and our coastal cities overcrowded.

"An undertaking of such magnitude can only be thought of as parallel to the Apollo Mission science driver. It represents the kind of big thinking we need, after over a decade of Presidents who have conditioned us to think like underlings, while they crush our civil liberties, and standard of living."
