Moore Problems
Spring time is when the melting snow on the mountain tops nourishes the land through the prehistoric acequia system.
Does everyone remember this symbol from Lahaina?
Ok, that was two and a half years ago and I could wait and say three years ago but there's no time….
These guys do stuff all over the place, today we are talking about New Mexico…. Actually the entire southwest.
History of Acequias in New Mexico
Irrigation systems in New Mexico, known as acequias, date back to the 16th century Spanish settlement of New Mexico. The acequias were built even before the colonists constructed churches and their operation was component of Spanish Law. Acequia laws and traditions have been handed down through generations and many political systems into the 21st century. This 500-year-old* community system is now threatened by a modem value system that sees water as a commodity rather than a community resource. In addition, many acequia associations in New Mexico are battling developers needing water for non-agricultural purposes. Consequently, an integral part of the New Mexico landscape may be lost. These battles are in addition to the operational difficulties inherent in keeping these extremely old systems working. As such, in 1986 legislation was passed to aid in the preservation of acequias.
*(Editors note: listen assholes, when something is “prehistoric” that doesn't mean you can invent some imaginary dates on is origen then pretend as if you know how to manage the thing. It means prehistoric as in, keep you damn hands off of it ACE and community do gooders.)
Acequia Program – Water Resources Development Act – Section 1113 Overview
“The Water Resources Development Act of 1986, “Acequia Irrigation System,” authorized “such measures are necessary” to protect and restore acequia systems. This act essentially established the USACE Acequia Restoration and Rehabilitation Program. Under the Act, the restoration and preservation of the systems were declared to have cultural and historic value to the region.
Community irrigation ditch systems in New Mexico (acequias), provide irrigation water to about 160,000 acres on an estimated 12,000 small family sustenance farms and date from the sixteenth century. There are approximately one thousand acequias throughout the state.
The acequias, which have both historic and social significance, play a major role in the local economies throughout the state. At the most critical times for irrigation, high flood flows from the spring snowmelt at the beginning of irrigation season and from intense summer thunderstorms during the peak of irrigation cause structural damage or complete loss of ditch structures needed for delivering water to crops and livestock.
The program’s purpose is to provide technical and financial assistance to Acequia Commissions or Community Ditch Associations for rehabilitation and improvements of their acequia systems. The work is to protect and restore the river diversion structures and associated channels attendant to the operations of the community ditch and acequia systems. Since 1987, USACE has assisted in the restoration of 35 acequias, some built as far back as 1710. In total, more than 2,400 acequia users have benefited from these projects.”
(What hubris would drive a bureaucracy to think that it could “restore” something that is prehistoric? Or is this just another Lahaina style deception? After all Eric West did document underground culverts or storm drain piping that was quickly and quietly dug up and replaced in Lahaina shortly after the fire.)
Look 👇 ACE really wants to take care of those ditches.
This is what the “authorized” material looks like that the feds are using to “restore” the prehistoric acequia.
I saw it with my own two eyes in the northern California fires of 2015. It ignites under the microwave energy.

By Robin Martin

Moore Capital Management
(Look he's a wealthy hedge fund manager based in NY who went to Columbia and buys up thousands of acres in New Mexico….
What did I say?????)
From wiki…
MCM was founded in 1989 by American billionaire Louis Moore Bacon.[7] He launched the fund using a $25,000 inheritance from his mother.[8] MCM’s first investor was Antoine Bernheim, president of Dome Capital Management, who in 1990 accounted for $1.5 million of MCM’s initial $1.8 million in assets and redeemed his investment in 2009.[8]
In 2008, MCM let nervous investors redeem $5 billion in shares despite decent performance.[8] In 2009 MCM launched two new funds; Moore Emerging Equity Long/Short Fund and Moore Emerging Fixed Income and Currency Fund. The company also offered incentives for new investors in other funds.[8]
In 2010, British regulators arrested Moore Capital Management employee Julian Rifat for allegedly participating in illegal insider trading.[8][9][10] The arrest was in connection with Rifat trading from personal accounts, not from Moore Capital Management funds.[7]
In April of that year, MCM paid $48.425 million to settle charges brought against it by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission(CFTC) which accused MCM of manipulating settlement prices for Nymex platinum and palladium futures contracts.[11]
In August 2013 MCM paid $48.4 million to settle a class action lawsuit in relation to the platinum and palladium manipulation claims.[12]
As of June 2018, its main fund, Moore Global Investors, has posted an annualized return of 15.8% since inception.[5]
