Climate Change scandal and Randleman Dam scandal receiving same treatment

Very damaging insider emails have recently surfaced exposing the fraud of man-made climate change. Billions of dollars about to be invested in global warming are now at risk. So are the reputations of experts and politicians who were about to take us down the wrong path. Does it surprise you that the climate fraud story is not being covered by the mainstream news?

Dam scammers took us down the wrong path
My CHART showing the history of public water use since 1995 and Greensboro's faulty forecast of future water needs is all you need to recognize that a fraud and a cover-up are underway. This CHART contains irrefutable damaging information but like the climate change fraud, the news media refuses to acknowledge the CHART's existence. Too much is at stake. And then there is the embarrassment of being wrong or having been fooled.

There is no question about my CHART's newsworthiness if my numbers are true. And when you add the fact that my 2009 telephone survey revealed that 97% of citizens are terribly misinformed about public water use, the CHART deserves a spot on the front page. Citizens want the facts contained in the CHART and citizens deserve the facts contained in the CHART. The local news is ignoring the CHART. Pretty soon it won't have a choice.


Since 2007...
My well-documented stories and my public water use CHART began appearing at this site one and one-half years ago. Then in 2008 water use went down by 3 million gallons a day! Imagine that. Nobody but me reported the 3 million gallon a day decline from 2007 to 2008.

So far nobody has dared to challenge the data in my CHART! It is easy to confirm my numbers by simply calling the water department. Why hasn't the News & Record done that? You would think the N&R would be the first to dispute my claims because it has the most to lose if I am right. I AM right and I have the truth on my side.

The local news media has not contacted me a single time regarding my claims of fraud and cover-up by the City of Greensboro. The longer the reporters avoid the data in the CHART the stronger the case for fraud becomes.


The City of Greensboro, the News & Record, YES! WEEKLY and the Rhinoceros Times are losing credibility by avoiding my dam scam reports. The evidence I have provided is overwhelming. Reputations are in jeopardy. Heads could roll. A public uproar is likely. These dam ignorant news reporters and editors will be viewed as accomplices for their failure to investigate and report this fraud. They will look like fools when the public catches on to the dam scam.


Dam about to burst

Hopefully this dam fraud story will burst wide open before I assume room temperature. That's why I installed a direct phone line for the local news to contact me.

You can help speed things up by simply telling your neighbors and colleagues to Google just two words - dam scam. It's Google's #1 story atop one million pages appearing in a search for "dam scam." But like the climate change scandal, you would not know it by reading or watching the mainstream local news.

My reply to Greensboro News & Record editor John Robinson's Sunday blog

Today in his blog (above), News & Record editor John Robinson postulates journalism's decline in a story called "What's happened to newspapers" (To read it click on story)


I posted the following comment to his blog:


To: John Robinson, Editor Greensboro News & Record


Nice try at exempting the News & Record from “all of the above” …..but the Greensboro daily continues to conceal the 15-year decline in public water use and the failed water needs forecast that "justified" the Randleman Dam project. The forecast was bogus but you would never know that from reading the Greensboro News & Record.

My 2009 Telephone Survey demonstrated that 97% of Greensboro’s citizens are misinformed about fundamental Greensboro water facts and yet your paper is unwilling to set them straight.


Here's to you Mister Robinson:
I informed you personally in 1997 and 1998 that water demand was declining and that city managers were concealing the decline. You did nothing with my reports. Now it’s a decade later and the proof is in that everything Greensboro said about its future water needs and the Randleman Dam was false. And the News & Record remains silent.

Greensboro eliminated its US Environmental Protection Agency 1st place award-winning highly cost-effective water conservation program because it became a threat to the Randleman Dam and your paper has yet to investigate it or report it.

Citizens are using less water today than when the justification for the dam was made in 1995 and your paper refuses to report it as fact. Water use has declined since 1995 and nobody knows thanks to your newspaper's silence.







And you wonder why your newspaper circulation is declining.

The Randleman Dam has already failed its mission and the first drop of water has yet to be delivered

Greensboro’s tax payers and water customers never knew that city officials had two (2) separate sets of objectives for the Randleman Dam.

You only heard the stated objective that was fed to the media, citizens and state officials. The stated objective claimed that Greensboro was "running out of water" and the Randleman Dam was needed for Greensboro's survival.

That claim was false ...but packaged to appear true. I saw how it was done. To pull it off the city manipulated its reservoirs, underpriced its water, gave incentives for lawn watering, sold irrigation water below cost, concealed information, ended its water conservation program and falsified reports to rally citizen support and funding for the Randleman project. That’s fraud. The media refuses to investigate the charges documented here and I am the only one reporting the scam for the Randleman Dam.

There was another objective—the secret objective! The secret intent of the dam scammers was to secure a huge surplus of water that would permit northern manufacturers to relocate to Greensboro and help the city grow.

This secret objective was hidden from the public because citizens would reject a dam project for growth and development. Most people (and city council members not connected to real estate in any way) believe that development should pay its own expenses.

So the dam scammers tricked the citizens into believing that Greensboro was running out of water and a new reservoir was needed for survival. That's something the scammers believed that citizens would support financially. And they did. And they continue to do so. And they have been kept it the dark about what has happened.

A Decade later...
Enough years have now become history to demonstrate that the stated objective for the Randleman Dam has failed. That objective was bogus. Greensboro has more water now than it did when the dam was being justified in the mid-nineties.

The city is using less water now than when the dam was being justified. The city never ran out of water.

And the projected future water needs that justified Randleman Dam never materialized(see dotted line in CHART). These embarrassing projections have been concealed along with the decline in water use. The local news media is participating in the cover-up. Where is the outrage? There is no outrage because the citizens are uninformed.

Nearly 100% of citizens are completely unaware of the facts (SOURCE: 2009 Telephone Survey). Randleman Dam was unnecessary. It's pursuit will raise people's water bills for decades to come.

The "secret" objective was the dam scammers real motivation and it has also failed. I know of no manufacturers that were recruited because Randleman water is coming on line. In fact, Greensboro has lost several industrial water users (lost sales)—the best customers it had.

Water is no longer needed to attract new industry because manufacturing is in decline (see red line in chart). The manufacturing economy is being replaced by a service economy and service industries like FED EX do not require the vast amounts of water that Greensboro has in Randleman Lake.

Both failed...
Since both the public objective and the secret objective have failed without a single drop of water arriving from Randleman, the dam scammers are now substituting a new stated objective for the Randleman Dam—drought protection. It's not much, but it is all the dam scammers have.

Greensboro got through the last drought very well but nevertheless it took full advantage of the drought to keep citizens' wallets open and minds fixed on the Randleman Dam as the solution—for drought. People are now being taught to fear that drought will destroy Greensboro ...and that's what Randleman Dam is for—drought mitigation.

City insiders and the dam scammers have been in panic mode for a decade now because nothing the city predicted would happen has happened! Water use has steadily declined and the city with the media's cooperation is concealing the facts. This issue is a powder keg. The longer news people like YES! WEEKLY's Jordan Green sit on this story the better it becomes. Everyone asks, "Why isn't John Hammer on this?" Maybe it's more like a land mine than a powder keg...and no reporter wants to poke around it out of fear.

Water sales are suffering. Waste water treatment sales are suffering. And the city cannot tell the truth about why water rates are going up else the citizens will realize that Randleman was never needed. The dam scammers fear if the truth gets out, citizens will revolt and heads will roll. Fortunately, so far it is only me reporting on the water fraud and the cover-up ....and anybody you tell.

Drought protection is a poor reason to expand by 75%
Purchasing 53% of Randleman Lake for “drought protection” is grossly irresponsible. That’s a 75% increase of Greensboro’s water supply (SOURCE: Water Director Allan Williams).

Water use has declined since 1995!  We have more water now than we did back then! Yet the City of Greensboro continues to carefully craft its interviews and press releases to lead people to believe that water is scarce and the Randleman Dam is the only solution. It's a cover-up. And if you are in the news media you are an accomplice.

Even a state official quoted in the Carolina Journal falsely believes "Greensboro water use is escalating!"

NO-O-O! Water use has DECREASED!

What part of decrease do you not understand?

And all of Greensboro's citizens believe it is still increasing because newspapers like the Rhino and the N&R are reporting that water is "badly needed" in Greensboro. That is false!

Are you citizens getting this? Are you environmentalists getting this? Do you now see how Randleman was achieved using deceit? Citizens were tricked into supporting the Randleman Dam so manufacturers would relocate here—and they didn't! Now Greensboro's citizens must pay for the dam scammers' poor judgment and dishonesty. 

FACT: Randleman Lake will become M T in a drought ....just like every other reservoir empties during a drought. Dought is the newest justification for a $150 million dollar investment and it won't fly. But it's all the dam scammers can come up with after having failed in their secret mission to attract industry and keep Greensboro competitive with Raleigh and Charlotte.

More Rain on the Randleman Dam Parade...
And last but not least, Greensboro's water rates will keep going up to pay for this fiasco. Industry has left, water sales are in a slump and the only source of cash besides President Obama's stimulus package is the wallets of Greensboro's citizens.

And the more the city raises the water rates, the less the resource will be used (needed)(sold) because people will be more careful how they use it! If water bills jumped to $200 a month imagine how short your shower would become and how brown your lawn would become. All the leaking toilets in Greensboro would finally get the repairs they've been needing.....and water use will decline.

The dam scammers responsible for this fraud are certain city council members, mayors, city managers, assistant city managers, water resources directors, news reporters, editors, and TV newscasters.

The Queen of the Dam Scammers
Former Mayor Carolyn Allen will always be my least favorite dam scammer. She was the environmentalist mayor who loved the recycling program but abandoned the water conservation program when it became a threat to the Randleman Dam. Yes, she was all about consensus...even when consensus results in fraud.

 

Rhinoceros Times misinforms readers

Where has Rhino reporter Paul C. Clark been for the past year and a half?

Has he not read the “Randleman Dam Scam” story by me—a city hall insider who blew the whistle about a water fraud? Does Clark not know that Greensboro’s water use has been declining ever since 1995?

In today’s Rhino Times story “High Point Manager Says No Dam Fishing” Clark wrote:

 “Half of the 12 million gallons a day of water from the new lake will go to Greensboro, which badly needs the water.”

THAT IS FALSE!

Clark needs to do some serious fact checking. Greensboro does not "badly need the water" as Clark claims. Greensboro has more water NOW than it's had over the past 20 years! CLICK on CHART

Greensboro has MORE storage tanks, MORE distribution pipes, MORE treatment capacity and MORE water resources with connections to Reidsville, Burlington and High Point and yet it is currently using LESS WATER than it did during the mid-nineties when it was falsly justifying a need for the Randleman Dam.

Try and figure this—Greensboro is currently expanding its water resources by 75% while water use has been declining 27% ever since 1995. Only a monopoly with great propaganda and news media accomplices can get away with something like this! Government never seems to downsize. It expands and it increases taxes....and in this case, taxes and the water rates.

The waterworks profits TWICE
And forgive me for neglecting to inform my readers that Greensboro's waste water treatment business is suffering, too! Sales are bad on the collection end as well as the distribution end. The waterworks bills you twice so it can profit twice. Greensboro needs more sewage revenue because in-flow to the sewer plants has declined. The local news media has not told you about this decline either. Perhaps under the FOI Act I will request the waste water numbers from Greensboro and make a second CHART.

Water distribution is a profit center and waste water treatment is a profit center. Both are suffering because we are switching from a manufacturing economy to a service economy. Service industries like FED EX don't use much water and they don't polute much water.

Unfortunately, when industry departs and the waterworks loses their best customers, residential water customers must make up the difference. Are you getting this? Now you know the REAL REASON why water and sewer rates are going up.

Greensboro’s water sales and waste water treatment sales are suffering. You would never know this had you not read my report!

The waterworks has lost revenue because Greensboro never has been able to sell all the water it projected it would sell (see CHART). Why is reporter Clark telling his readers that "Greensboro badly needs water?"

FACT: Greensboro badly needs to sell more water! That's why Greensboro eliminated its EPA award-winning water conservation program! When you badly need to sell water you don't run a program that saves water!

Of course the City of Greensboro cannot/will not admit its water sales are suffering ...else its citizens will begin asking, "Why?"….and then the cat would come popping out of the bag.

I can understand the News & Record keeping the cat in the bag all these years…but the Rhino Times???? John Hammer, what's gotten into you?


It’s no wonder that 97% of Greensboro’s residents are misinformed about water use (SOURCE: 2009 Telephone Survey) with false statements like today's in the Rhinoceros Times. Greensboro has plenty of water and this is being kept a secret to conceal a water fraud and to protect the dam scammers who lied and made false reports believing the ends justified their means.

Okay Paul C. Clark and the rest of Greensboro's impotent news media who refuse to investigate the Dam Scam, let me make this real easy for you. I've installed a special telephone line to my one window basement apartment just for the lamestream media!

When you need to check the facts and avoid embarrassing errors like "Greensboro badly needs the water," just call me and I'll be glad to set you straight.

97% of Greensboro’s citizens believe that public water use has increased since 1995 (Source: 2009 Telephone Survey). They are wrong. According to the Greensboro water department's own numbers anyone can easily see that public water use has decreased since 1995.

Is this newsworthy?
What is your comment?

Water Director Ray Shaw had me publish his future water needs forecast in 1995 to justify the $150 million Randleman Dam project.

The CHART reveals that Greensboro's water forecast never materialized. The telephone survey reveals that citizens are completely unaware that Greensboro’s water needs forecast was a fabrication.

Proof that the News & Record’s dam cheerleaders have misled citizens about water use

12 years ago...
Twelve years ago as a city hall whistleblower I informed the Greensboro News & Record numerous times that public water use was declining. And, to make the story even more newsworthy I added, "The news of the decline is being suppressed by the city's managers."

Two years later I told the N&R I was certain that the decline would continue. This information was important to the citizens because I discovered the city's case for the Randleman Dam was a fraud. I took the risk of blowing the whistle because the city was being terribly dishonest about its claim of water scarcity and the Randleman Dam being the only solution. I felt that taxpayers deserved to know that water use was declining so they could make informed decisions about the Randleman Dam.

It would not surprise me if the N&R called my bosses at city hall and told them what I was reporting. I was between a rock and a hard place. I was hired to reduce water demand—I was succeeding—I was winning awards—and yet I could sense that my bosses, the dam scammers, wanted nobody to know. While calling for conservation they actually wanted water use to increase sharply to justify the dam. I was ruining their secret plan.

I authored several press releases announcing the decline. They didn't go very far.
Editor John Robinson wasn’t interested in them. He didn’t think a decline was news. Robinson said, “Well, we have a water conservation program now, so water use should decline.”

But John, the City of Greensboro projected that future water use would skyrocket even with my water conservation program in place. The CHART proves it!

The decline in water use began during a booming economy. It baffled the water department. The News & Record was not interested. I was fired in 1999 after two years of high tension caused by the success of my program. 

Two billion gallons of Greensboro water was saved. Translation: 2 billion gallons went unsold. The water department was losing revenue due to water conservation. The argument for the Randleman Dam was in danger so word of the decline was suppressed. Are you getting this?


False Statement in video
In 1999, the year I was fired, the city made a false statement in a water video it released. Water use had declined 4 years in a row. However, the city's new video approved by City Manager Ed Kitchen stated that "water demand was increasing." The water department and Ed Kitchen lied to support the case for the Randleman Dam.

Now fast forward 12 years...

Public water use has declined since 1995 (Blue trend line). It never did skyrocket like the dam scammers projected (Dotted line) The Greensboro News & Record has never reported the city's gross over-estimation of its water needs!

The Greensboro News & Record has never reported the city's gross over-estimation of its future water needs!

Citizens completely unaware

I remained convinced that Greensboro’s citizens are completely unaware of the decline in water use since 1995. So a few days ago I conducted a random telephone survey of 30 residents age 21 or older. Participants completed the statement shown above by choosing one of three possible answers.

Here are the results......

97% of citizens are misinformed 

I was not at all surprised to discover that 97% of citizens incorrectly believe that water use has increased since 1995. That’s exactly what the City of Greensboro and the News & Record wants them to think! The brainwashing has been successful and it's no wonder why citizens continue to support the Randleman Dam.

You tell me. If 97% of citizens think water use has gone up since 1995 ...and 97% of citizens are wrong, is that NEWS? Where do they get their ideas from?

Of course this is news! Why won't any area news agencies report this story?

ANSWER: There is a powerful conspiracy that does not want citizens to know because of where it could lead. When a $150 million dollar project is being built lots of money gets passed around. There was plenty of pressure on city staffers, city council and the news media to pitch the Randleman Dam as Greensboro's only solution. Nobody dared to speak against it. Nobody but me.

Citizens would never suspect a water fraud because they have been kept in the dark for so long by both the City and the Greensboro News & Record. However, the instant someone sees my water history CHART they immediately begin to smell the huge water rat. And that's why the city and the press won't show my CHART!

FACT: Greensboro had the lowest priced water among NC cities while its reservoirs were running dry. Its water price was 47% lower than the average for North Carolina cities!

FACT: Greensboro kept its water rates very low for several years so water use would remain high and the reservoirs would appear as inadequate.

FACT: As soon as Randleman Dam was approved, Greensboro raised the price of its water. The summertime peak demand problem caused by irrigation was solved.


Only those like you who have found their way to my blog know that Greensboro is using less water today than it did 15 years ago.

Randleman Dam is the City of Greensboro's greatest scam. Do you believe that taxpayers have a right to know all that is being concealed from them? Will you join me in this fight? Will you take action to see that the truth gets out? Will you write a letter to the editor? Will you distribute my CHART to residents of Greensboro?

I poured my heart into my job in Greensboro. I received national awards for my unanticipated success. Citizens saved 2 billion gallons of Greensboro water following the programs I instituted. Then I discovered an enormous fraud in the making—the Randleman Dam.

As the city's water spokesman I was expected to participate in this fraud. I refused because my faith leaves no room for such dishonesty. I was fired and never replaced. I am Greensboro's only water conservation manager.

Nobody came to my aid in 1999 because nobody believed my predictions that water use would go down and that he Randleman Dam was not necessary. I paid a price higher than you can ever imagine. None of the numerous water-saving programs I began are in place today. Greensboro downsized its water conservation program after my termination in 1999 and then ended the WC program around 2004. 

Do you care if the dam scammers win? Do you care if water rates rise annually to pay for 53% of the Randleman Lake? Do you care if this fraud is never uncovered?

What will you do to help?

Roch101 is reporting Greensboro News & Record’s circulation decline as NEWS—but Roch101 and area bloggers won’t report the 15-year decline in public water use as NEWS

Roch101 reports the News & Record is suffering from poor circulation

So what does a decline in newspaper circulation and a decline in public water use have in common?—PLENTY! Just watch...


 

The News & Record like other daily newspapers across the country is experiencing perilous times. From Roch101 (See story): “The daily circulation of the News & Record is down to 70,617 according to the latest from the Audit Bureau of Circulations, a decline of 13 percent from April* and 16 percent from a year ago when circulation was about 84,500.” That's fine with me because the News & Record is negligent for failing to investigate the dam scam. It has been the city's accomplice in the Randleman Dam Scam by misleading its readers who are taxpayers and water rate payers.


News & Record downsizing
So what does a private sector company like the N&R do during a downturn in business?—it downsizes of course. On June 7, 2007, the News & Record announced it was laying off 41 employees as part of a "business reorganization." A fuming newsroom lost 11 full-timers and 6 part-timers. And since that time we all know the future of newspapers is dismal.

Is the waterworks downsizing?
Here’s the irony. You would expect the N&R to downsize during a business downturn, but Greensboro’s water sales have steadily sunk below what was pumped (sold) during the mid-nineties when the Randleman Dam scam was forming. We’re not talking about one or two years of decline but a 15-year decline in public water use that is being concealed by both the City and the News & Record. So, because of this lengthy decline in water use (sales) the waterworks is downsizing, right? NO! It is expanding!

The Greensboro waterworks is EXPANDING by 75%
The real NEWS nobody dares to report is that Greensboro Water is expanding by 75% while public water use (sales) has plummeted over the past 15 years! Greensboro's huge expansion during a lengthy loss of water sales is NEWS! Why will no news agency report this fact?  Only a monopoly like Greensboro Water gets to expand while its water sales decline! ...and at the same time it charges more for its water.


What if...
What if Roch101 reported yesterday that the News & Record’s circulation was dying…but the N&R is HIRING and RELOCATING to larger quarters? Even elementary school students would recognize this as insanity. But that’s exactly what the Greensboro waterworks is doing and nobody knows! No local news agency will tell the citizens! What are they afraid of?

98% wrong!
98% of citizens believe that water use is skyrocketing (Source: My 2009 Telephone Survey) and they could not be more wrong! The city has pulled off a waterworks expansion scam using dishonest propaganda and a deliberate cover-up of 1.5 decades of dismal water sales. Scam rhymes with dam.

Would you like to see the City of Greensboro's only water chart? Here it is direct from the water department's website. (Click here if you think I am joking!)

This Picasso-like chart is the handiwork of Greensboro's water czar Allan Williams who has mastered the deception and the spread of misinformation for the past 12 years! He was hired to "do whatever it takes" to get the Randleman Dam and reservoir permitted and built.

Williams lied, cheated, withheld information, shut down Greensboro's award-winning water conservation program and spun every press release and on-camera interview to favor the Randleman Dam.

It's unbelievable what he and his fellow dam scammers have accomplished without getting caught—until now! The longer I keep reporting this story and the longer the city and the media keep hiding this story the more excited and motivated I get! How do you win support?—one citizen at a time!

As a whistleblower, I paid a very high price for exposing the fraud of the Randleman Dam. At least now I get the satisfaction of being set free by reporting the truth. With the truth and the Internet you can fight city hall.

The fact that the News & Record refuses to investigate the evidence of a water fraud and refuses to report the decline in Greensboro water sales explains in part why news organizations like it are failing.

Today’s impotent news media is nothing more than a “He said, she said” storyteller with the absence of any investigation. That's why those two young reporters posing as a pimp and a prostitute to expose ACORN are so badly needed today.

And that's why I am reporting—to fill the vacuum left by news agencies that no longer investigate but simply report what they are told by agencies like the City of Greensboro.

Greensboro’s daily newspaper has been nothing but a cheerleading squad for Greensboro water. The News & Record deserves to fail for concealing the truth from its readers. Misinformed readers—Greensboro’s taxpayers—have had the wool pulled over their eyes. They have been tricked into supporting an unnecessary dam to the tune of $150 million and will now inherit an ever-increasing water bill.

The price of Greensboro’s water must increase because it is selling less water while it continues to expand.

If the News & Record was expanding during a decline in sales it would have to charge $5.00 a paper on weekdays and $8.00 on Sunday. And if it was only a monopoly like the Greensboro water monopoly, maybe it could!
Attention Rio Linda

Okay, here it is again ...plain and simple for you folks in the Rio Linda section of Greensboro and soon to be annexed:


1. The News & Record's circulation continues to decline and therefore it continues to downsize. Makes sense.


2. Greensboro water sales continue to decline over 15 years yet the waterworks is currently expanding by 75%! Nobody knows, and this is NOT news?

Did ya catch that Piedmont camera guy? See that blue trendline over there in the CHART? That represents a 15-year decline in water sales! What part of decline do you not understand? And the waterworks is expanding! What part of expanding do you not understand? This is NEWS and right now as newsguys and newsgals you are looking pretty inept!

Why are you not reporting? Where is the News & Record? ..where is the Rhinoceros Times? …where is YES! WEAKLY? …where is the Carolina Journal? …and Snooz 2?...and Foxy News 8? ….and WSJS? ….and NPR?

After 1.5 years of publishing this story on the World Wide Web not a single news reporter has contacted me!

You will all look like fools when this story finally breaks! What a day that will be! That day is coming!

10,200 "dam scam" websites

Congratulations and THANKS to all of you who read these Randleman Dam Scam reports! Your many visits here have made this website #1 in Google! There are 10,200 “dam scam” locations listed in Google and mine sits in pole position for having received the largest number of hits. That’s BIG NEWS—but sadly it is NEWS that Greensboro’s sorry news agencies refuse to investigate even after it has been handed to them on a silver platter.

Without any fresh posts my Randleman Dam Scam blog averages 10 new readers a day. When I add a new story it reaches about 60 readers a day (Source: StatCounter.com). Currently there are more environmentalists in the USA than citizens in Greensboro following this story. That's because it has received no local coverage.

The pimp and the prostitute who went undercover with a camcorder to expose corruption at ACORN embarrassed America's traditional news media. NBC, ABC and CBS all looked like fools. When the truth comes out about Greensboro's water fraud, Greensboro's news agencies will have some explaining to do for their refusal to investigate the City of Greensboro's water fraud—the Randleman Dam Scam.

News & Record refuses to inform its readers about Greensboro’s declining need for water

(This is my Thur. Sept. 10th story that is being re-posted after removing the bad code that interfered with We101 operations)


Monday the Greensboro News &  Record provided its readers with an update on the progress of the Randleman Dam. The story was "Turn on the tap? Not yet, but soon."

Sadly, the N&R continues to carry water for the City of Greensboro.

Reporter Taft Wireback wrote, “After 50 years of debate, 15 years of planning and nearly a decade of sporadic construction, Randleman Reservoir is moving through its final stages.” He neglected to mention the 15 years of false reporting and the deliberate lowering of its reservoirs that paved the way for Greensboro to steal water from the Deep River—water that it does not need!

Wireback wrote, “The city is using its existing water-supply lakes north of town at close to their maximum capacity, supplemented with purchases from the Burlington and Reidsville water systems.” Of course Greensboro is purchasing water from its neighbors. That's so you think Greensboro needs that water. It doesn't! It is just for show.

Wireback has seen my CHART and he knows that Greensboro no longer needs water like it did back in the 90’s. So why did he neglect to ask Water Director Williams why Greensboro is expanding it’s water resources by 75% when water demand is 27% below forecast? (See CHART)

Why is Greensboro expanding it’s water resources by 75% when its water use is 27% below the forecast and lower than in 1995?

In previous stories I have offered proof detailing how during summertime peak demand the City deliberately sold water for lawns below cost to lower its reservoirs and convince everyone that it was running out of water. The minute the dam was approved the city raised the water rates and solved its peak demand problem. And the cover-up continues.

The minute Randleman Dam was approved Greensboro raised the cost of lawn watering and solved its peak demand problem


I knew in 1995 how simple it would have been to solve Greensboro's water shortage. Selling water for lawns below cost was the sole reason for low reservoirs. All Greensboro had to do was charge a premium for lawn watering and about 5 million gallons a day would have been saved during peak demand. Of course, had Greensboro done that in 1995 it would never have been able to argue for the Randleman Dam.

The boss knew that I knew exactly what he was doing. On top of that, my programs were reducing water use. That's why I was fired.

The N&R reported that the Randleman water plant’s initial production will be 12 million gallons per day. Of that Greensboro is entitled to 6.35 million gallons per day. GSO Water Director Williams was quoted, “The city will use its full allotment from day one.” Of course he would say that. Do you think Williams would ever admit, “We don’t need it?”

And nobody knows how much PTRWA will be charging Greensboro for water. Director Williams claims it will be "much cheaper" than Burlington's water. He is lying through his teeth.

Greensboro has done everything in its power to perpetuate the myth that it is running out of water. At this late stage don't expect the City to suddenly admit that Randleman Dam isn't needed.

And if reporter Taft Wireback was in an inquisitive mood he could have asked Williams why he ended Greensboro's Water Conservation program. But NO-O-O!—the News & Record refuses to report that the City shut down its highly successful US EPA 1996 and 1997 1st place award-winning Water Conservation Office.

ANSWER: Greensboro’s Water Conservation Program became too successful (see CHART) and it became a threat to the Randleman Dam.


In case you haven’t noticed, Greensboro always gets what Greensboro wants.

Greensboro won approval for the Randleman Dam using lies, deception, false reports and propaganda. The dam scammers' efforts were so successful that Greensboro even today during these hard economic times gets away with hiking its water rates—while water use has declined since 1995. News & Record, that's NEWS! 

Greensboro's water-shortage propaganda has been so effective that if Mars had water citizens would fund a galactic pipeline to go get it.


And who is the dam scammer’s chief accomplice?—the Greensboro News & Record that has misled citizens with its dam reporting and complete lack of investigation.


Right-click on my CHART, save it and then email it to your neighbors....or else they will never see the evidence revealing the scam. Tell them to Google just two words—dam scam.
