Idaho Gov. Brad Little issued a statement following the order on May 30, “Water curtailment is never desired, but the director must follow Idaho law and the Constitution in issuing this order.”

Brian Murdock, an East Idaho farmer, said the water curtailment affects 500,000 acres, which equates to roughly 781 square miles of farmland.

“Well, as you said, the state of Idaho and the Idaho Department of Water Resources has issued this curtailment of 500,000 acres. And to help put that in perspective, that’s basically 781 square miles of farm ground that is being taken out of production,” Murdock told the hosts of Fox News.

The grain and potato farmer continued, “And, of course, the worst problem is this is happening during a very plentiful water year. We have the reservoirs [that] are completely full, and when I mean full, they’re dang near breaking. The rivers are running as high as they possibly can. Just trying to keep those dams from breaking.”

In eastern Idaho, groundwater users with junior water rights breached the 2016 agreement in 2021 and 2022. Currently, Gov. Little, the lieutenant governor, the Director of Water Resources, and representatives from groundwater and surface water user groups are discussing a new deal. The plan is to strike a new agreement before the curtailment dries up the farmland.

Murdock told co-hosts Dagen McDowell and Sean Duffy that his family’s century-old farm faces a $3 million loss due to the state-issued order.

“This is the largest curtailment in the history of the United States as far as farm ground,” Murdock said in a video posted on X.

In a commentary piece in the local paper Idaho Capital Sun, farmer Adam Young had a lot of questions about the state’s move to inflict pain on farmers:

It’s hard to understand why the department chooses to be so openly hostile to groundwater irrigators or why they decided to inflict widespread, massive curtailment on the state in a year when water is abundantly plentiful. This is not what sound resource management looks like. It’s time for Idaho’s elected officials to step up and demonstrate true leadership on this crucial issue. This is not how Idaho water law, which relies on both “priority of time” and “the public policy of reasonable use of water,” was ever intended to work.

Some X users believe the water curtailment is happening around the time as the governor commissions a new cobalt mining operation in the state.

We must question whether a much larger, more insidious agenda is at play here. Is this part of the war on the food supply?

This initiative aims to redraw state boundaries, allowing conservative-leaning rural counties in Oregon to join the neighboring state of Idaho. Advocates argue this realignment would better reflect the political and cultural values of these communities, currently overshadowed by the liberal policies of Oregon’s urban centers.

The Greater Idaho movement isn’t just a reactionary push against liberal policies; it’s a well-thought-out proposal that seeks to realign political representation with the cultural and ideological values of rural communities. Mike McCarter, one of the leading voices behind the initiative, has emphasized that this is about more than just politics; it’s about preserving a way of life that many feel is under threat.

“The people in rural Oregon have felt ignored and marginalized for too long,” McCarter said. “By joining Idaho, we can ensure our values and needs are properly represented.”

The concept of Greater Idaho revolves around several key arguments:

  • Political Representation: Rural counties in Oregon often feel their voices are drowned out by the liberal policies of urban areas like Portland. By becoming part of Idaho, these counties would join a state that aligns more closely with their conservative values.
  • Economic Benefits: Advocates argue that Idaho’s lower taxes and fewer regulations would benefit the economies of these rural areas, encouraging business growth and economic development.
  • Cultural Alignment: The cultural divide between Oregon’s urban and rural areas is stark. Residents of rural counties often feel their way of life is threatened by policies that cater more to urban sensibilities. Joining Idaho would allow these communities to maintain their traditions and lifestyles without interference.
  • Education and Law Enforcement: Supporters believe that Idaho’s approach to education and law enforcement is more in line with their values. They argue that the current system in Oregon imposes policies that don’t reflect their priorities, such as gun control measures and progressive education reforms.

Challenges Ahead

While the push for Greater Idaho has garnered significant support, it faces numerous challenges. The process of redrawing state boundaries is complex and requires approval from both state legislatures and the U.S. Congress. Additionally, there is opposition from those who believe that splitting the state would lead to increased polarization and logistical complications.

Critics argue that such a move could set a precedent for other regions across the country to seek similar realignments, potentially leading to a fragmented nation. However, supporters of Greater Idaho remain undeterred, believing that the benefits far outweigh the challenges.

The Path Forward

The movement for Greater Idaho continues to gain momentum, with more counties considering joining the initiative. In recent elections, several counties voted in favor of exploring the possibility of joining Idaho, signaling a growing desire for change.

As this movement progresses, it will be crucial to watch how political leaders in both states respond. The push for Greater Idaho represents a significant shift in how rural communities are asserting their rights and demanding a political landscape that reflects their values.

This movement is a testament to the enduring spirit of self-determination and the belief in a government that truly represents its people. Whether or not Greater Idaho becomes a reality, it has already sparked an important conversation about representation, governance, and the future of rural America.

If enacted into law, it would make the administering of any mRNA vaccines illegal. The only thing I don’t like about the bill is that it makes the act a misdemeanor when I believe it should be a felony.

I talked about it for tomorrow’s episode of The JD Rucker Show. Here’s the story by JD Heyes from Natural News that breaks down the details:

Idaho Legislators Introduce Measure Criminalizing COVID Vaccines Throughout the State

The GOP-controlled Idaho legislature is taking the most radical step yet in regards to pushing back against the administration of increasingly risky, and some say even deadly, COVID-19 vaccines.

As reported by KTVB7, “two Idaho lawmakers have introduced a bill to charge those who administer mRNA vaccines with a misdemeanor.”

The House Health & Welfare Committee was presented with HB 154, which was sponsored by Sen. Tammy Nichols, R-Middleton, and Rep. Judy Boyle, R-Midvale, on February 15. The bill prohibits individuals from providing or administering a vaccine that uses messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology for use in humans or animals within the state.

During her presentation to the committee, Nichols explained that the bill would make it a misdemeanor for anyone to provide or administer mRNA vaccines for use in humans or animals in the state of Idaho. Nichols expressed concern about the speed with which the COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna were developed and the lack of liability, informed consent, or data on mRNA vaccines. However, she later clarified that her remarks were specific to the two COVID-19 vaccines.

“I think there is a lot of information that comes out with concerns to blood clots and heart issues,” Nichols noted, per the outlet.

During the hearing, Nichols’ statement that the vaccines were fast-tracked was questioned by Rep. Ilana Rubel, D-Boise, even though they clearly were; most vaccines take years to develop but the COVID jabs were rushed into arms in about a year under then-President Donald Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed” program. Rubel said the vaccines allegedly survived testing (which, again, was rushed, and negative results were hidden) and then eventually approved by the FDA.

Nichols said she finds it “may not have been done like we thought it should’ve been done.”

“There are other shots we could utilize that don’t have mRNA in it,” Nichols added.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines are a type of vaccine that uses a small piece of genetic material called mRNA to stimulate an immune response in the body. The mRNA provides instructions for cells in the body to produce a protein that is found on the surface of a virus or bacteria, which triggers an immune response. This immune response allows the body to build up immunity to the virus or bacteria without actually causing an infection, according to John Hopkins Medicine. The COVID-19 vaccines developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna are examples of mRNA vaccines.

In November 2021, the British Medical Journal published a report alleging data integrity issues with the clinical trials conducted for the COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech. The report was based on information provided by a whistleblower and corroborated by others involved in the trial.

The allegations included falsified data, unblinded patients, inadequately trained vaccinators, and delayed follow-up on adverse events. The whistleblower, a former regional director for Ventavia Research Group, supplied the BMJ with supporting documentation, including audio recordings, emails, and photos.

Ventavia was contracted by the pharmaceutical companies to assist with the pivotal phase III trial. The whistleblower claimed that she repeatedly raised concerns about patient safety, data integrity, and poor lab management to superiors. She also reported her concerns to the FDA and was subsequently fired on the same day for being “not a good fit,” which she said was the first time she had been dismissed in her 20-year research career.

Among the information provided to the journal by Jackson was a recording of a late September meeting in which she met with two directors of Ventavia to discuss a possible FDA inspection. One executive said to Jackson: “We’re going to get some kind of letter of information at least, when the FDA gets here … I know it.”

A senior executive can also be heard in the recording explaining that the company could not quantify the number and types of errors that were being identified. “In my mind, it’s something new every day,” the individual said. “We know that it’s significant.”
