DeWayne Craddock and a War for Water?

The word most often left out of news reports regarding the Virgina Beach mass shooting is 'water'. Shooter DeWayne Craddock's expertise was in the area of water management . Several of his victims were longtime water maintenance/transportation specialists. The only direct quote by Craddock available online in the days after the May 31st incident refers directly to his belief/opinion about redirecting water out of Lake Gaston.

Just three days after the Virginia Beach shooting, (ex) Governor Rick Snyder and over 60 of his subordinates had their stored laptops/cellphones/devices seized in Michigan. These seizures were apparently catalyzed in part by "new information" that has come to light in regards to the ongoing Flint, MI water crisis and the mismanagement of water in Michigan. The timing of these cellphone and laptop seizures in relation to the shootings in VA Beach is interesting. Maybe a coincidence, but something seems to have sped up the tempo of the water-related investigation in Michigan.

Water is a valuable commodity, as the power structures of the world change, the ability to control and secure safe drinking water is of prime importance.

Wow...if true, now there's a true "Conspiracy Theory!!!!!"

You know the old saying...

"Whiskey's what's fer drinkin'...water's fer FIGHTIN'!!"

ETA - OP, if you got the scoop on this right, you will get the CT of the Year award for sure!!!!! You'll be the anointed the ATS title of Grand CT Meister!

Just a thought though...

Why would Flint need water from Virginia when they've got the Lake Huron right there?

ETA - BTW, the Flint water issues are truly a really bad affair! That crisis has been going on for nearly a decade now.

I'm not suggesting that water was being redirected from VA to MI. I'm simply suggesting that water rights management issues may have factored into the 'motive' for the VA Beach incident. The mainstream media keeps saying "no known motive, no known motive" . The shooter worked in water management and his victims were affiliated with special projects related to water management.

New Governor and her attorney general wants convictions on the Flint Water fiasco . If Snyder is guilty then off to prison for him . The problem is I think there are other water problems in the state of michigan that need to be addressed to .

Yeah, we have a LOT of water issues here. Not in the least, Nestle, "we want to drain your wells, and sell the water back to you" BS corp.
And I hope Ol' Rick S goes down, along with some higher ups from Flint. They deserve it trying to cover it up for as long as they did.

Is an interesting connection OP, as far as the US water goes. When we allow big corps to pump and sell water, what happens when peoples wells start running dry? Did he uncover something?

The other problem we are having, at least in our area, is gravel pits. A big one by us just drained all the neighboring wells, and after a lengthy court battle, had to pay for new, deeper wells for all of them.
Water isn't a privilege, it's a right. We need it to survive!

Okay...here's one....

Water isn't a privilege, it's a right.

Careful there! It's not what you think.

Look at the ..."1st in time, 1st in Right"...water rights laws, cases and legal pontifications going all the way back to the 1700's.

Water is not what you think, hence my earlier statement about whiskey for drinkin' and water for fightin'.

This issue is probably one of the biggest surprises coming for everyone in the late 21'st and early 22'nd centuries. This issue WILL come to bear! Most people have no idea how serious it truly is!!!

AND...this is one of the bigger reasons we need to keep an eye on government, because this issue alone could affect an entire population!

Thanks Lake Spirit, I'll be keeping an eye on this one. S&F

I had heard about the Dick Synder thing, but didn't get much form it. I think I heard it mentioned on talk radio during the commercial break.

Ya, water. I can see what you're getting at.

I like my private 100' deep well, the water is great. I can't stand the city water at all anymore.

Here is some interesting information for the Michigan water troubles.

We have a PFA ground water contamination problem down in Rockford Michigan caused by the Wolverine World Wide shoe manufacturer. Then north of there you have Nestles water pumping the aquifer dry for "Ice Mountain" bottled water. Now, in between those areas you have Wolverine's distribution center, a place I worked for awhile back. In the summer, when the warehouse got really hot, they'd give us employees free bottled water to stay hydrated. Guess what brand of bottled water that was?

ARRGH! The dreaded double POST!

Here's a hint, the initials of the brand of bottled water are NESTLES.

hope it doesn't cost you any money . Government is clueless , been living in michigan for 55 years and can't remember how many times they raised taxes to fix the roads . Their new solution is to raise taxes ( go figure ) It is not Republican or Democrat , It is Republican and Democrat . In michigan they both suck .

You mention this tid-bit.

The only direct quote by Craddock available online in the days after the May 31st incident refers directly to his belief/opinion about redirecting water out of Lake Gaston.

Can you elaborate on what his opinion was about redirecting water and what was that redirection for? I'd hate to have to click on a link you already provided.

The article is the Dec. 5 2015 online edition of the Lake Gaston Gazette- Observer. Its an interesting article about issues related to pumping water out of Lake Gaston for Virginia Beach.

So Virginia Beach is were the water is being diverted to. The covertness of the whole project sure stinks pretty good, esp. along with the security features. Interesting to be sure.

This thing seems about more than incompetence to me. In working with the EPA I get the feeling the left hand rarely knows what the right does if you are in the EPA.

That situation with the waste water from mining in Colorado that trashed the CO river was a good indication they can be totally CLUELESS.

The question is, has that been on purpose? These guys are certainly not uneducated idiots. The are doing idiot like things however so it makes me ponder the Sun Tzu strategies of pretend inferiority might be what is being applied to us.

NO company or institution should be allowed to take water from the aquifer if it affects wells, let alone sell it.

a reply to: crayzeed

Amen.
When Nestle wanted to go from 100,000 (I believe) to 300,000 gallons a day pumping out, the town told them no. But of course, they went to court, and the wonderful, (A**hat) judge said yes.

War over Water.

Wow, very interesting! You may have stumbled onto quite the conspiracy.

Who really controls/owns the water, the pipelines?

If we're not careful we may one day be fighting for water like oil.

The water horde crooks like Nestle & Fiji [Resnick] are all about $$$.

Water Conflict

In an ongoing effort to understand the connections between water resources, water systems, and international security and conflict, the Pacific Institute initiated a project in the late 1980s to track and categorize events related to water and conflict, which has been continuously updated since. The database, updated in January 2019, presents the information as a chronology and map.

As the population continues to explode this is not just a possibility...it's an inevitability.

Nestle USA is a division of Vevey, Switzerland-based Nestle S.A., the world's largest food company. In 2017, NestleUSA relocated their corporate headquarters to Virginia. An interesting link, another coincidence to the VA Beach incident...
