So imagine China wants to build another dam.
Michael YonGUEST
35:02
Three Gorges Dam is the biggest in the world.
Michael YonGUEST
35:04
They want to build another one about three times bigger in Tibet that will be three times bigger than Three Gorges Dam, the biggest in the world.
Michael YonGUEST
35:15
Right where six fault lines meet.
Michael YonGUEST
35:18
You know, I mean, I've been to six.
Brandon WeichertHOST
36:07
I think it might have been a one-star.
Brandon WeichertHOST
36:10
He was either a full bird or a one-star Air Force officer.
Brandon WeichertHOST
36:14
And we were talking about the construction of the Three Gorges Dam.
Chris CappyHOST
11:22
so one of america's first priorities would be blinding the network that tells all of those chinese missiles where to go and there's an important escalation argument for attacking the isr network first because destroying these military radars the sensors and satellites and the command nodes that make up isr is a major escalation but it still leaves room below the nuclear threshold.
Chris CappyHOST
11:44
Compare that with something like attacking China's Three Gorge Dam.
Chris CappyHOST
11:48
Destroying it could cause catastrophic flooding and potentially kill enormous number of Chinese civilians.
Chris CappyHOST
11:54
Beijing could interpret an attack like that on the same strategic level as a weapon of mass destruction.
Chris CappyHOST
12:00
Once you cross that line, there aren't many rungs left on the escalation ladder.
Chris CappyHOST
12:04
It's kind of hard to walk that one off, kind of difficult to play that as a whoopsies.
Chris CappyHOST
12:09
Brother, feed me the Three Gorge Dam.
Chris CappyHOST
12:11
No, no, you psycho.
Chris MartensonGUEST
30:45
You can't do any of it.
Chris MartensonGUEST
30:46
So they have a very comprehensive strategy over there, including they're putting in the Three Gorges Dam.
Chris MartensonGUEST
30:52
It's like the largest dam in the world.
Chris MartensonGUEST
30:54
And they're building one that's going to have three times that.
Michael YanGUEST
55:11
I think they're going to go for it.
Michael YanGUEST
55:13
The biggest dam in the world, three times bigger than the Three Gorges Dam.
Michael YanGUEST
55:20
Anyway, if they build this huge dam up in Tibet, which is on six fault lines, I mean, it's like a monstrous project to try to build.
Michael YanGUEST
55:33
But they would close off – it would actually control the Brahmaputra River, which goes down into India and Bangladesh.
Joseph P. FarrellGUEST
9:38
Well, let me rephrase your question a bit, because I think in the grand scheme of things, that there was prior to this planned scandemic, there was some sort of very covert war going on between China and presumably this country, perhaps other Western powers or what have you.
Joseph P. FarrellGUEST
10:02
And to me, the surest sign of that is the flooding that occurred in China that got to the point that they were actually very, very concerned about the Three Gorges Dam.
Joseph P. FarrellGUEST
10:15
that weather system just sort of parked itself in the Indian Ocean and didn't move.
Joseph P. FarrellGUEST
10:21
And to me, that's a little suspicious because I do believe we have weather manipulation technologies that are relatively sophisticated.
Michael YonGUEST
5:46
I think they're going to go for it.
Michael YonGUEST
5:47
The biggest dam in the world, three times bigger than the Three Gorges Dam.
Michael YonGUEST
5:55
Anyway, if they build this huge dam up in Tibet, which is on six fault lines, I mean, it's like a monstrous project to try to build.

But they would close off – it would actually control the Brahmaputra River, which goes down into India and Bangladesh.
Jack PosobiecGUEST
35:44
It was the biggest up-and-coming city in all of China.
Jack PosobiecGUEST
35:46
He gets the Three Gorges Dam built, which of course is, becomes this international project that China's looking at to say, you know, of course, they love their mega projects in China, from the wall to the canal to all the other things.
Jack PosobiecGUEST
35:57
And so Ha-- You know, Bo Xilai looks like he's going to be the one who's going to take control of the party.
Jack PosobiecGUEST
36:03
He's gonna ride all these, you know, purported successes to the top.
Lila JacintoCORRESPONDENT
10:07
So the control of the water, these mega dams, is affecting and will affect downstream countries.
Lila JacintoCORRESPONDENT
10:14
When this dam is completed, it will be the world's largest dam, larger than the Three Gorges Dam as well.
Lila JacintoCORRESPONDENT
10:20
And this is all being... constructed on very sensitive ecological area.
Lila JacintoCORRESPONDENT
10:25
Another case of water weaponization is in the Indus River.
GarretHOST
7:36
That is a lot.
GarretHOST
7:36
That's about five times as big as the Three Gorges Reservoir in China, and even a little bit more than that, larger than Lake Mead, [laughs] which is the one behind Hoover Dam in the US.
SabrinaHOST
7:48
Wow.
GarretHOST
7:48
So it's a very, very large reservoir.
Michael YonGUEST
32:31
And absolutely devastating.
Michael YonGUEST
32:34
And then likewise, when you look at China, I mean, Three Gorges Dam.
Michael YonGUEST
32:40
Now, if you do Three Gorges Dam and it's overt, I mean, you're probably going to get some hydrogen bombs landing on your head because that would be the end of China as we know it.
Michael YonGUEST
32:50
I think if that cascade goes, that would be...
Michael YonGUEST
32:53
You know, people have looked at every time there's a big flood in China, everybody's looking at Three Gorges Dam.
Michael YonGUEST
32:58
Will this be the time when that thing...
Michael YonGUEST
33:00
When that series goes, you know, China.
Michael YonGUEST
33:36
And then there was another couple dams failed on two other rivers, and it was all the same.
