Heavy Water Use Growing Almonds & Pistachios in California: Pistachio Wars, Resnick’s War on Iran

Duration: 5:01 701 transcript words EN summary

Video summary

The video begins by highlighting California's status as a major agricultural hub for the United States, noting that successful farming there depends entirely on having a reliable water supply. The speaker shares personal anecdotes about growing up near Fresno, recalling the delicious peaches and figs from their family's land before transitioning to almonds, which they describe as an extremely water-intensive crop. While the speaker mentions using almonds and dates for nutrition during weightlifting, the core discussion quickly shifts to the economic and environmental realities of almond farming. A specific point raised is that many almond farms are not located on naturally water-rich land but instead rely on transporting water from other regions, meaning their viability as investments is precarious if those external water sources are cut off or become too expensive to access. The conversation then pivots to pistachios, which are similarly described as requiring vast amounts of groundwater. The speaker introduces a controversial historical narrative regarding the shift in global pistachio production, claiming that Zionist families lobbied the U.S. government to impose sanctions on Iranian pistachios during the 1980s or 1990s. According to this account, Iran was the world's largest supplier for decades until these sanctions were enacted, allegedly through political influence. The speaker argues that following these sanctions, Zionist families began acquiring land and establishing orchards across California to fill the void left by Iranian exports. The central argument presented is that these new pistachio operations have had a devastating impact on local communities by depleting groundwater aquifers. The transcript asserts that as these farms tapped into underground water supplies to meet their high irrigation needs, water levels in surrounding towns dropped significantly, causing well prices to skyrocket and many wells to go dry. This situation has reportedly created deep resentment among residents of small California towns who feel their essential water supply is being stolen by large-scale agricultural interests. The speaker concludes with a strong warning against these entities, labeling them as occupiers who are portrayed as enemies of humanity and urging listeners to be wary of their actions within the United States and other nations.

California. California. California's got good soil as long as you got good water. As long as you got a good water supply. Right? California is a breadbasket of the United States. So much farming going on there. Our family used to own an almond orchard, which is extremely water heavy crop to grow. Right? Uh but wow, we had peaches on the land and figs on the land and man, when you went when we used to go visit, it used to be near Fresno. You pick a peach off the tree bite into it, it was insane. It was insanely good. Right? And the almonds, amazing. Amazing. We used to eat a lot of almonds when we were kids. And almonds is powerful, gang. If you want to If you're doing weights or anything like this, almonds, dates, and walnuts, those are three of the foods when I was doing spending some time in the weight room. I got to get back in there. Uh halfway through my my sets, I would pop almonds and almonds and dates. The almonds provide the protein and fiber. The dates uh provided the sugar, the gluten, and the fiber to uh send the protein to my muscles as I was as I was doing weights. It was really good. Really good. I'm glad we're trying this one out. It's been sitting there for few weeks. I bought it because a cigar shop owner said it was really good. Uh I should try it, so I did. Uh very good recommendation. Uh >> Yeah, beer in the patio is nice. I'm not sure what happened with drinking it. The Ed Factor, salute, salute. Welcome back to our live stream. Interesting you own an almond orchard. One of Michael Burry's primary thesis for the future is that almond farms will be great investment because they are uh they are on water-rich land. Um Here's the problem with that. A lot of the almond that is grown in California, they're not sitting on water-rich land. They're bringing water from outside of that region. So, if that water supply is cut, it's not water-rich land anymore. Um but almonds, but I don't know if there's a they're a great investment or not. Um uh almond orchards, but it's I'm pretty sure the price has gone up. But, if you're not sitting if they're not sitting on water-rich land, then uh you're going to pay a hefty sum to bring that water, provide that water to your orchards. All right? Same with pistachios. Pistachios are extremely water-heavy as well. And I can tell you one thing about the pistachio that comes out of uh California, a lot of pistachios grown in California grown by a Zionist family in California, right? And what did they do? They brought pistachios from Iran because Iran was the largest supplier of pistachios to the world for decades upon decades upon decades upon decades upon decades. And then, what the Zionist family did, they lobbied the US government to sanction Iranian pistachios. And this was in the 1980s or something, right? '80s or '90s, right? Sanction Iranian pistachios. And they paid enough enough politicians, right? The Zionist puppets to sanction Iranian pistachios. And what happened? They had a pistachio business. So, they started buying up a lot of land in California or getting the rights to uh have pistachio orchards in all over California. And when they had pistachio orchards, they tapped the groundwater supply. And what they did, because pistachios require a lot of groundwater, a lot of water, right? The water levels for aquifers for those towns started going down, and the prices of water went through the roof. So, there's a lot of small towns in California that are anti-pistachio farms from the Zionist family because they're depriving the town of their water supply, right? And they've kicked up the prices, and a lot of wells have gone dry, right? So, that's what Zionists do to the United States of America. Zionists do to every nation that they occupy, right? Beware of your Zionist occupiers. They are the enemy of humanity. That means they're your enemy. Deal with them accordingly.
