Chapter 917
The fire in Los Angeles was still burning.
Burning one residential area after another.
All the city's firefighters, as well as California firefighters, all ran to help.
But the biggest problem faced was the water supply problem.
The fire system had no water at all.
The whole United States and the whole world were paying attention to this mountain fire.
"Oh my god, it's been burning for 10 days, and it's still not over……"
"Hollywood has been burned away……"
"We saw an inefficient United States……"
"Is this the lighthouse of the world?"
"The American play is a scene, we laugh until our intestines break……"
And at this time, Xiao Fu had already found a large amount of information, and then called the Governor of California, and personally went to find the Mayor of Los Angeles.
Hinting slightly,
The Governor understood Xiao Fu's meaning.
Someone had to take the blame for this matter.
Could the Fire Department take the blame?
They couldn't.
The Mayor of Los Angeles could take the blame, but he was one of their own.
And he himself didn't want to take the blame.
So……
It's you, Jewish people—the Resnick family!
(PS: Originally Arnold Schwarzenegger (Republican) could have run for governor, but he was a Republican, so he was kicked out. Governor Arnold lost his chance at the governorship and cried bitterly.)
……
……
Soon,
Driven by Xiao Fu, many TV stations under "Freedom Media" began full-coverage reporting across the United States.
Among them,
KTVU TV station, which was the earliest acquired by Umbrella, was the TV station with the highest ratings in California, and even covered the entire West Coast.
Host: "Good evening, viewers, welcome to the special program "Emergency Focus"."
"The Los Angeles mountain fire has been burning for seven days, 12,000 buildings have been destroyed, 150,000 people have been displaced, and the numbers are still updating……"
"When the video of firefighters using helmets to scoop water to extinguish the fire swept the whole network, a sharper question surfaced—why has California, which claims to have a "complete water conservancy system," become a luxury even for firefighting water in times of disaster?"
"Let us connect to frontline reporter Emily to find the truth……"
The camera switched to the front line.
Emily: "Viewers in front of the TV, hello everyone, I am now at the entrance of the Los Angeles Fire Command Center, everyone can clearly see the scene behind me—more than a dozen fire trucks are parked here, but not a single one is carrying out routine water replenishment operations, because the water output from the nearest three fire hydrants is very small……"
The camera switched back to the host's screen,
Host: "So, where did the water go?"
"Next, let us uncover the truth."
The screen switched to a satellite map, the target was—Kern Reservoir.
"Actually, Los Angeles has a lot of water, among which Kern Reservoir has a very large water storage capacity."
"Kern Reservoir was built by the government at a cost of $230 million."
"Then, I have to mention a Jewish family—the Resnick family."
"The Resnick family owns 130,000 acres of land in California, built a very huge agricultural empire, nuts, fruit large estates, and has the reputation of being the pistachio king of the United States."
"In 1993, the California government restricted farm water use in the name of environmental protection, which undoubtedly touched the interests of these farm owners."
"In order to survive, the Resnick family united with 5 other farms to sue the California government, and in the end, the following year, the California government conceded and signed the "Monterey Amendment"."
"The Resnick family obtained priority water rights through the "Monterey Amendment", and this priority was higher than the priority of firefighting water."
"And the Resnick family, after they got the priority water rights, where did they use the water? Naturally, it was used to irrigate their 130,000-acre fruit farm."
"With priority water rights, Kern Reservoir has now become the Resnick family's 'private pool', the Resnick family consumes 150 billion gallons of water every year to irrigate their own estate, while the entire city water source of Los Angeles doesn't reach half of their estate."
"In addition, former officials of the Department of Water Resources revealed that the Resnick family relied on old contracts from decades ago to take water at a low price, and then sold it to the government at a high price; just from 2000 to 2005, they made hundreds of millions by "buying water and then selling water"."
"And this time, California firefighting had no water, on one hand, the Resnick family controlled Kern Reservoir. On the other hand, the Resnick family controlled the water bank and sold the water to the California government at 7 times the price; at this time, the "water bank" received emergency order quotes with a 50% premium over weekdays!"
Then,
The host's voice rose a few degrees, angry and crazy.
"What is a capitalist?"
"This Jewish Resnick family is a capitalist!"
"They would rather use water to irrigate their farms than give it to us to extinguish the fire!"
"They enjoy low-priced water resources, but want to sell it to us at 7 times the price!"
"Now the whole of Los Angeles is engulfed in fire, and they actually want to increase the price by 50% to buy water for the fire system to extinguish the fire!"
"What's even more ridiculous is that the Resnick family's stock price rose by 10% in a few days because of the California fire problem!"
"The Jewish people have always stepped on our heads, exploiting us, they are hateful, bloody, cruel demons!"
"Such demons, still force us to sympathize with their suffering every day."
"Can you endure this?"
Camera scene: the burning downtown area, the fire hydrant dripping the last drop of water, the camera slowly pulled away, forming a contrast with the lush green fruit tree forest being irrigated in the distance.
This report, although it contained some private goods, was mostly facts.
Following the host's generous and indignant words, as well as those infuriating photos.
New York and California citizens exploded in anger.
"When my house caught fire, there wasn't a drop of water in the fire hydrant! Their fruit trees drink mineral water, we can only use saliva to fight the fire!"
"Our houses were burned away, their stocks rose! This is not a disaster, it's their carnival!"
"How much donation did the government collect from them in '94? How was the Monterey Agreement signed? Why should we let them use the reservoir we built with taxes with priority, and then have to buy it back at a high price?"
