Owen Neilsen shows samples of Cambrian snails and Orodovician stromatolite fossils. These are the Notch peak formation rocks from 515 million years ago. At that time this landmass was near the earths equator and a tropical area. The snails could not handle high salt levels. As the salt level increased, the fossils from 5 million years later have only stromatolites a form of algae, cyano bacteri...

Owen stands on the ancient shoreline of Lake Bonneville north east of Leamington Utah on the Gilson Mountains and describes the shoreline benches. Lake Bonneville was a large Ice Age freshwater lake which covered much of Utah about 20,000 years ago. It reached it maximum elevation of 5170 ft and was 654 ft deep at Sevier Lake playa. The lake drained halfway 14,500 years ago into the Snake River...

    Understanding the problem so we can understand the solution. Regional mega drought in the southwest, caused by a lot of things but essentially more water is being used and is in one way or another moved out of the region then the amount of water that is re-entered into the region. Conservation has its place but it is not a solution to this problem. The demands on water will not abate without causing complete collapse so the only alternative is to introduce a new source of water. Drawing water from other regional rivers like the Columbia or the Mississippi or Missouri would only move the problem around, draining other regions. The only essentially inexhaustible source of water is the ocean. One thing we need to do is move water from the ocean back inland to places we need it and if we can do that while generating clean energy we have a chance to mitigate climate change and still have a prosperous future. It is really, really hard but it is not impossible. If I could explain my idea in an equation it would go something like. (seawater from the west coast moved inland + converted by combination geothermal/desalination projects = clean water and clean energy.) The biggest idea I am trying to express is tunneling aqueducts from the coast, in this case the west coast of the USA inland to feed combination geothermal power and sea water desalination plants. The idea seems to be so big that no one has considered it possible but I believe it is not only possible but it is necessary. For over a century the fossil water contained in aquifers has been pumped out to feed agriculture, industry and municipal water needs. The natural water cycle cant refill fossil water deposits that were filled 10,000 years ago when the glaciers melted after the last ice age. Without refilling these aquifers there is not much of a future for the region of the United states. As a result ground levels in some areas of the San Joaquin Valley have subsided by more than 30 feet. Similar fossil water depletion is happening in other regions all around the world. TBM and tunneling technology has matured and further developments in the industry are poised to speed up the tunneling process and it's these tunnels that are the only way to move large volumes of water from the ocean inland. The water is moved inland to areas where it can be desalinated in geothermal plants producing clean water and power. In many cases the water will recharge surface reservoirs where it will be used first to make more hydro power before being released into rivers and canal systems. It's very important however to not stop tunneling at these first stops but to continue several legs until the water has traveled from the ocean under mountain ranges to interior states. Along the way water will flow down grade through tunnels and rise in geothermal loops to fill mountain top pumped hydro batteries several times before eventually recharging several major aquifers. What I am proposing is essentially reversing the flow of the Colorado River Compact. Bringing water from the coast of California first to mountaintop reservoirs then to the deserts of Nevada and Arizona and on to Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. This big idea looks past any individual city or states problems and looks at the whole and by using first principles identifies the actual problem and only solution. Thank you for your time, I would like the opportunity to explain in further detail and answer any questions.

    Gunnison was partially right. Mormonism as practiced by the Mormons in 1853 died an unnatural and ignominious death 37 years later with the issuance and presentation of the Wilford Woodruff Manifesto in 1890 in General Conference. It was never presented as a "revelation" to the membership of the LDS church, but was a political statement of "advice". This marked the major doctrinal shift when this "advice" became seen and regarded as revelation by the general membership of the LDS church. This event established a precedence of considering anything that was said by the General Authorities of the LDS Church as the Word of the Lord and marked a major cultural and doctrinal shift in the Principles and practices of the LDS church and has been promoted by the LDS Church leadership as an ongoing unspoken policy which has continued to the present. Many Mormons at the time (and today) considered this a violation of previous revelations given to Wilford Woodruff and a compromise by the leadership of the LDS Church to regain political rights and property and was looked upon by many as a form of Apostacy and abandonment of the most sacred doctrinal principles of the Restoration by the Temporal Church.

    As a student of Utah History, I was wondering if the name of Edward J. Steptoe was even going to be mentioned. We had to wait until the 15 minute mark, and as noted, Steptoe was ordered to investigate the Gunnison killings, but a number of "key elements" are lacking and need to be addressed. The first is that Captain Gunnison, after spending some time in Great Salt Lake City after the Stansbury expedition, returned to the east and published a modest bestseller in which he revealed the secret Mormon practice of polygamy. Note there's no mention of this here, and the publication of Gunnison's book preceded the 1852 General Conference announcement by Orson Pratt that the Saints were indeed practicing polygamy. Steptoe was also President Pierce's choice to replace Brigham Young as territorial governor (Young's term had expired). He left Utah Territory, however, before receiving the appointment in 1855, he and his men left the territory. A little known historical fact is they were accompanied by approximately 100 Mormon women fleeing polygamous marriages.

      Unsolicited Chronicler by RK Fielding, goes into depth of the Gunnison murder. Gunnison seems to be hated and his being the "Unsolicited Chronicler" was pronounced against him when establishing one of the four corners of the Mormon Temple

    We have an extensive sequence of Late Cambrian and Early Ordovician in the Ozark Uplift of S. Missouri and N. Arkansas. As in Millard Co Utah, these beds contain a rich molluscan fauna which lived associated with stromatolite reefs. I have a lot of these fossils in my books Paleozoic and "More Paleozoic Fossils".

    Excellent presentation .. The October 1853 Meadow Creek incident whereby wagon trainers had allegedly slain Pahvant War Chief Mosoquop's father, which allegedly caused him to seek revenge against "any white man" in response, is just too cute! Wikipedia: After the killings, rumors circulated the Pahvants involved in the Gunnison Massacre were acting under the direction of Brigham Young, and a secret militia known as the Danites. Resonates with numerous other False Flag events not limited to Pearl Harbor and the 911 Attacks, see the 1846 Mexican / American war similarly as a dress rehearsal for the 1861 American Civil War. According to Mormon sources, thirty two of the fifty four Mormons who participated in the Mountain Meadows Massacre were from England .. which indicates they were mercenaries. Eighty five Irish "San Patricios," who deserted General Taylor's Command and joined Santa Anna in Mexico, were hanged en masse September 10, 1847. Forty white men were hanged and two more were shot "trying to escape," in Gainsvile Tx. in 1862, on suspicion of treason against the Confederacy. Thirty eight Santee Sioux were hanged Mankato, Minnesota, Dec. 16, 1862, whose defense rested on their assertion, the five "settlers" they are alleged to have slain fired first! *Yet Mormon Bishop John D Lee was the single Mormon executed by firing squad, at the scene of the crime at the Mountain Meadows, twenty yrs after the event in 1877.* Which indicates there was a massive conspiracy afoot - financed by the youknowhu's - a la the conspiracy that keeps the Zionist perpetrators of the 911 attacks separate from the hoosegow. Edit. Cheers from Brisbane Au. :)
