The worst environmental catastrophe in the 21st century is unfolding right now in northern California. It’s safe to say that nothing this devastating for the environment has happened since the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska.
You won’t hear about this disaster in any mainstream news report, however. The destruction was not caused by negligence from an oil company or some other boogeyman. It was caused by the environmentalist wacko policies of Joe Biden and California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
It’s been a pipe dream of the environmentalist nutjob movement since the 1980s to destroy the series of hydroelectric dams in the Pacific Northwest. The affordable, renewable, clean energy provided by hydroelectric power is “devastating the salmon” is how their frail argument always goes.
If only the white people living in the Pacific Northwest would give up the source of the electricity for their homes, there would be more fish in a few years!
That’s how the argument always goes. The movement has never succeeded in tearing out dams before, at least not on a large scale. Common sense used to override the environmentalist whackjobs’ fantasies. It takes a special kind of leader to override common sense and forge ahead to try to save the weather or the fish, however. And that kind of leader is Gov. Hair Gel Hitler in California, with an assist from Joe Biden.
Newsom allowed his state environmental officials to go ahead and remove the dams and draw down three reservoirs along the Klamath River in northern California. The river flows from Klamath Lake in southern Oregon and traverses its way about 170 miles through California before it flows into the Pacific Ocean. Listen to how this pipe dream of an idea sounded on paper before they did it:
“Dam removal is expected to improve the health of the Klamath River, the route that Chinook salmon and endangered coho salmon take from the Pacific Ocean to their upstream spawning grounds, and from where the young fish return to the sea.”
Guess what happened when they took out the dams and drew down three reservoirs? To put it mildly… all plant and animal life in the Klamath River is now dead. There’s no oxygen left in the water to support life.
Soil erosion caused by letting out all that water at once stirred up underground deposits of lead and chromium. The once crystal clear and beautiful waters of the Klamath River are now black sludge. At least four species of endangered fish have been exterminated.
Deer and other animals that are dying from dehydration are getting trapped in the mud flats created by the drawdown, so Fish and Wildlife officers have to sit out there and shoot them from a distance. People who live near the river have had their well water vanish, since releasing the dams and reservoirs completely changed the water table in the region.
A plume of toxic black goop now extends two miles out into the Pacific Ocean. Based on previous similar manmade disasters along rivers, the Klamath should be teeming with fish and wildlife again in about the year 2074. Great job, environmentalist wackos!
Siskiyou County Supervisor Ray Haupt says, “I’ve been around natural disasters all of my life, and I’ve never seen anything like this. The river is essentially dead, as is everything in it.”
Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA), who represents the congressional district that was just environmentally destroyed by Newsom, said in a statement:
“Environmentalists and the State of California are celebrating the world’s largest dam removal on the Upper Klamath River, while their work kills endangered species, destroys roads, threatens homes with bank collapse and is already seeing drinking water wells go dry. They purposefully made a disaster and are leaving taxpayers and the locals to clean up their mess.”
Not to worry, though! Newsom has quietly declared a disaster for what just did and is asking for a bailout from the federal government to help clean up the mess he caused. Joe Biden, meanwhile, is holding secret talks with Native American tribes in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho to do the exact same thing to the dams along the Snake River—dams that provide electricity to one-third of all homes in the Pacific Northwest.
Gavin Newsom would really love to become President of the United States. Behold his handiwork:
Both men are total idiots. Sick is the word. They don’t give a hang about the American people. Biden is out of touch because of his dementia and Newsom is too busy putting grease in his hair , plus making people think he is smart. Not so. I wonder why people are stupid enough to vote for these people. Our country is in one hell of a mess because of Biden. It’s a horrible shame what Newsom did, but people we have to stand up and fight these evil people.

Agree. And they’ll be spreading their poor, destructive decisions and actions up the coast, state by state.
50 years to get the river stabilized (2074, article noted).
They plan to destroy these BENEFICIAL, NEEDED damns? For electric power, underground well levels, fish, wildlife and even a couple miles of toxic “black plume” spreading into the ocean. They kill whales, dolphins, otters, seals, plus their ocean sites of windmills also killing. They’re as bad as China and Thailand toxic releases. And shooting wildlife that become stuck in the mud, instead of getting them freed up. Cruel and inhumane idiots.
So WHEN, NOT IF, they realize they need the damns back, have they even looked at the cost and difficulty? Of course not. I had relatives who built damns like the Hoover. An incredible, massive effort. And how many hydroelectric specialists and builders are there now?
Just goes to show how politicians use their office to rape the American public. Biden and Obama have destroyed America and they don’t deserve to live here. They should be treated as traitors because they are. The California governor should be in jail for destroying hydroelectric dams. How stupid can they be. Just plain idiots just like Biden and Obama.
Everything they said. Stop the STUPID……please
too bad such liberal states are being shafted by the liberals they put into office. boo hoo .lol enjoy your chinese electric cars that run out of juice just when you need it. can keep electricity on now in the power grids. can’t wait for several million cars try to charge lol glad I don’t live out there. vote them all in again. lol ENJOY
the only way to get these A.H.s out is to vote them out!!!
You keep voting for Demorats…..this is what YOU GET….ITS ON YOU
I do not live in the area. But who ever claim the lies and push it should be swinging from a tree! It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know these people deserve a tree! EPA has always made dumb stupid mistakes since the forest fire that destroyed the landscape. They don’t deserve federal funds for mistakes they made! But should NOT RECEIVE A SALARY FOR THEIR ACTIONS! Give them a shovel and rake to go clean up what they created! Or a rope to swing by the neck! Leave GOD CREATED NATURAL EARTH ALONG! Oh, well it took fools to vote these people into office to destroy their life’s!
Nobody said a DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS WAS SMART! LIBERALS ARE FOOLS WHO CAN’T THINK WITH THE BRAIN GOD GAVE THEM! OOPS! OR WAS IT SATAN? Over the years these fools will do anything for fools who got the money to give them. Even though it a STUPID IDEA!
I realized long time ago that Democrat politicians are not the brightest and mentally not able to use common sense.2008 election confirmed my suspicions when I researched Barry Soetoro.What we now see and live in an America tha has been dismantled and destroyed,all sold to the voters as Fundamentally change America in a speech in Denver.Did any one ever ask him to what would he change America?
I’d like your permission to publish this article in our on-line publication Crescent City Times. Excellent article.
Gaslighting Americans while destroying the country.
This is all on Obama, Hopeless & Changele$$. Destroying the colonialist’s he despises so much.
We are fighting tooth and toe nail to keep them from doing the same thing to the Snake and the Clearwater here in Idaho.
They keep claiming to save the salmon. It won’t. And Salmon can be propagated by man.. But they keep taking out the hatcherys that can and are doing just that!
Every dam that has been removed has caused a lot of enviromental damage. Even the ones they took out between 1974 and 76. But they don’t believe the facts of history.

People need to start taking pictures of all the damage done by taking out these dams. Keep them posted everywhere. I don’t live there, but have seen pictures and other places where dam removal has cause damage that will never be repaired in our life times. Keep the pictures in the headlines and in front of your elected personal. Keep sending them to the out of touch
