Global water consumption is doubling every 20 years says Goldman Sachs. According to Sir Nicholas, in many places supplies are running short as rising consumption cannot be matched by fresh rainfall. As a result, suggests Goldman Sachs, the price of water is bound to rise: bad news for the poor and thirsty, but an opportunity for investors. The excited bank even suggests that water might be considered to be the “petroleum for the next century”.

It expects profits to be made less from selling the stuff directly, and more from investments in infrastructure and new technology. The bank estimates that America alone needs to spend around $1 trillion on new pipes and waste-water plants by 2020. It estimates that the higher-tech side of the industry—for example in desalination efforts, or ultraviolet disinfection—is now worth $425 billion dollars, globally.

There could be plenty of money to be made in supplying water.

Experts have said the same thing about oil, and even milk, for a long time now. The main problem is partly the growing world population and its need of resources, and partly the speculation system that the global economy is based upon. Large multinational corporations are therefore taking control of our food, our politics, our water, and our lifestyle, to indirectly keep us as hostages under their business program. The idea is simple and expressed via the globalist system: they offer the products and services, you work for them in order to buy what you need. It's refined slavery.
