Mexican Congress Wants PLHINO, Not Environmental Sham

May 12, 2008 (LPAC)--The schemes of Prince Philip's WWF to quietly torpedo construction of the PLHINO hydraulic project in the northwest of Mexico through their usual lying "environmental" hoaxes, have run into trouble, before they even got off the ground. Construction of the Northwest Hydraulic Plan, which Lyndon LaRouche has supported for decades, is the fastest route to stopping social chaos in Mexico, by quickly gearing up food production and employment.

The WWF made its move last week, when President Felipe Calderon informed the "Pro-PLHINO of the 21st Century Committee" --the rapidly-expanding juggernaut in favor of the PLHINO founded by the LaRouche movement in the state of Sonora-- that all decisions and discussions around the PLHINO project would be handled by the Director General of the National Water Commission (CONAGUA), Jose Luis Luege Tamargo, who is a notorious, outspoken agent of Prince Philip's WWF. Federal monies appropriated earlier this year by the Congress for a serious PLHINO feasibility study, are to be given to Luege's WWF-dominated CONAGUA, the Calderon administration specified. Luege had already announced that the only feasibility study he would tolerate, would be a lengthy environmental impact study.

Informed by the Pro-PLHINO Committee on May 9 of the government's suicidal move to thus hand control over Mexico's water and agriculture to the British Crown's WWF, the President of the Mexican Congress's Rural Development Committee, Congressman Carlos Navarro Lopez from the state of Sonora, issued a warning to CONAGUA and its director, Luege Tamargo: Congress appropriated millions of pesos for a technical study to demonstrate the feasiblity of building the long-planned PLHINO project, not for environmental studies, he said. My committee, and the Hydraulic Resources Committe which also approved the PLHINO appropriation, will hold Luege accountable to use that money as Congress so directed, Navarro stated.

The mood is getting hot in Sonora, against the WWF attempt to prevent Mexico from growing its own food, at a time of worldwide food shortage and starvation. Three Sonoran papers ran front page stories on the Pro-PLHINO Committee's May 9 press conference denouncing the WWF's sabotage plans, using their man Luege at CONAGUA. The Committee announced that on Tuesday, May 13, they will present their demand to CONAGUA's Sonoran office, that the Committee--which represents 32 associations and groups across the state--be included in decision-making process of how to carry out the feasibility study.

Pro-PLHINO Committee leader Alberto Vizcarra, well-known as LaRouche's key activist in the state, reports that students, producers, and ordinary housewives across Sonora are gearing up for war against these vampire-loving oligarchs who, as one participant put it at a Pro-PLHINO meeting last week, prefer to save Sonora's native lizards, to saving even one Mexican child.
