Reptilian Message to Save Earth's Ecosystems
Earth Day Intergalatic Transmission, 20-04-2013 - 18:02
The benevolent reptilian extraterrestrials are sending messages to humans with open minds about the importance of protecting the Earth's ecosystems from needless destruction. In many ways our capitalist society's obsession with material wealth and status is the root cause of evnironmental destruction. However, communist governments can also engage in ecological devastation so the answer isn't to ask North Korea's narcissitic leader for help, he is clearly not listening to anyone but his own ego.

SNWA Whistleblower Shows Ratepayers Bilked
George Knapp, 14-03-2013 - 20:44
The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) has used rate hikes and government subsidies to purchase ranches at six times above market value to appear as landholders for water rights for their proposed pipeline. An employee of the SNWA turned whistleblower has come forward with evidence of bribery of local officials and yearly losses of money on the SNWA ranches. In related news Sen. Mike Roberson introduced SB 232 with bipartisan support to require greater transparency by the SNWA and would require the water authority to obtain approval from the PUC before increasing water rates.

E.T. Alligatorian's message; Protect Earth!
Alligatorian-human hybrid messenger, 02-01-2013 - 21:26
The E.T. Alligatorians who visited Earth are concerned about the ecosystem of Earth and wish for humans to protect their ecosystems above all else. Human governments who are fighting one another over religion is futile and self-destructive and those in power need to cease this activity immediately. There is nothing offensive in this article and thus censorship violates your own principles. We thought if any humans would we open minded it would be here but maybe there are no open minded humans left. Laugh if you need to, just consider that censorship is what the U.S. government does well enough on their own!

BLM Support of SNWA Pipeline is "Pure Folly"
Owens Valley Water Grab Repeated, 02-01-2013 - 20:49
The decision last week by the BLM to support the SNWA pipeline shows their disregard for science and inability to protect species that are under their watch. The developers who plan projects like Coyote Springs 50 miles north of Las Vegas are dependent upon this pipeline, NOT Las Vegas. Just more hype so that some developers (Whittemore/Seeno/etc...) can profit at the expense of the desert spring ecosystems in Snake and Spring Valleys. There isn't enough water in these aquifers to support the suburban sprawl of Coyote Springs 100,000 homes, golf courses, etc...
