pcr is accurate in all i've seen him present and here he's hitting several home runs at one time in part because he accurately describes what watergate really was and follows with real descriptions of who and why it was done, bringing us into today and what's going on there, in part;
President Nixon’s Accomplishments in Protecting the Environment Are Being Destroyed by the Trump Regime
Paul Craig Roberts
Two days ago I wrote about how our allegedly full employment
economy’s need for jobs had caused the Trump regime to overule the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and permit extractive companies to
destroy protected lands ( https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/08/13/gold-over-life-literally/ ). Today our subject thanks to Stephen Lendman ( https://stephenlendman.org/2019/08/trump-regime-gutting-the-endangered-species-act/ ) is the Trump regime’s destruction of the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
The Endnagered Species Act and the Clean Water Act serve as backups
for the protection of lands by the Environmental Protection Act as
these protected lands often contain water resources and endangered
species. The brutal assault on the environment by extractive industries
endangers protected waters and species. Thus, to proceed with the
Pebble mining project in the sensitive Bristol Bay area of Alaska also
requires setting aside the ESA as protected bald eagles, grizzly
bears, and wolves are in the affected area. EPA scientists are
convinced that the project will cause “complete loss of fish habitat” in
one of the world’s most valuable wild salmon fisheries and add salmon
to the list of endangered species.
For capitalists, the environment is something to be looted. Thus as
the gangster Brazilian government destroys the Amazon rain forest, the
American gangsters destroy Bristol Bay. Environmental looting is very
profitable, because the costs are largely external and are imposed on
those who have no claim to the profits. The ridiculous and incompetent
way in which Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is measured results in the
destruction of the Amazon rain forest and Alaska’s Bristol Bay being
recorded as an increase in GDP and wellbeing of Brazilians and
Americans. The faulty measures of economists contribute to the
desruction of life on earth...........https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/08/15/president-nixons-accomplishments-in-protecting-the-environment-are-being-destroyed-by-the-trump-regime/
