If there is anyone who can protect Central Ohio’s water supply from Intel, it is the grassroots environmental group the Columbus Community Bill of Rights (CCBOR).

For years they have warned that toxic radioactive fracking wastewater has been leaking out of 13 storage chambers located above the region’s watershed. And even if the proof is not definitive, it is likely an unknown amount of this fracking “brine” has moved down through the area’s five major rivers.

The oil and gas industry is not to be trusted, but on the horizon is perhaps the Columbus CCBOR’s greatest challenge. Intel’s massive New Albany campus which will be sucking 1.5 million gallons or more of water per day out of the Hoover Reservoir – a major source of water for the City of Columbus – beginning in 2027. Apparently this is needed to make their advanced microchips, as the tech giant demands.

I predict that Israel will create an “October Surprise”event attack with the intent of swinging the election to Trump prior to the November election. The term October Surprise originated after Iran took American Embassy personal hostage in 1979 after overthrowing tyrannical Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. In that event, the Reagan campaign committed treason by negotiating with Iran to hold the American hostages until after Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter by offering them a better deal for badly needed airplane parts and other military equipment. History sometimes repeats itself. Expect Israel to attack Iran in a big way during this month of October. This will force Kamala Harris to take a position, losing either Muslim voters or Jewish voters in the process.

Many of us know the pain of paying steep tolls, especially when a turnpike is taken over by a private company.

Now imagine you live in one of our hemisphere’s most impoverished countries. Do that and you’ll get a glimpse into how unfair trade deals help make life unlivable in many countries — and force countless people to seek a living in countries like the United States.

When a private company suddenly put up toll booths in the middle of a taxpayer-funded highway, local residents in El Progreso, Honduras were furious.

They knew the new fees would also hike the price of food, bus fares, and their daily commutes — and that making it in their country, where roughly half of the population lives below the poverty line, was going to become unbearable.

This is the first event in a series of a Week of Rage.

As a full year of genocide approaches, the zionist regime’s ruthless aggression has only intensified. With over 300,000 martyrs in Gaza and apocalyptic scenes unfolding in Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, the occupation’s fascism continues to be laid bare before our eyes. 

It has never been more vital to show a unified front against the ongoing genocide in Palestine. We urge everyone to join us at every event to honor all our martyrs and continue the fight for liberation. As long as Palestine, Lebanon, and other countries stand steadfast in their resistance against the zionist entity, so do we. We will remain fearlessly until liberation is achieved.
