Levee Near Ft. Calhoun Breached with Explosives?! Army Corps: It Wasn't Us! - July 1, 2011

"LOVELAND, Iowa -- Authorities are investigating an intentional breach in a levee near Desoto Bend.

Pottawattamie County officials said a half-mile stretch of the Vanmann #30 levee was mechanically excavated and then lowered by using explosives. The private levee is just north of the Boyer Chute National Wildlife Refuge, northwest of Honey Creek.

So far, emergency management officials said they've seen no damage as a result of the levee breach, but they have fielded plenty of phone calls about it.

Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff Theulen said he was alerted Friday morning that the levee may have been in the process of being intentionally breached. About 20 minutes later, officials said they received calls from people wanting to know why levees were being blown up. One caller claimed to have witnessed the explosion.

Pottawattamie County officials said no government entity had anything to do with the detonation, and they did not have advance notice from the people responsible for the breach.

Vanmann #30 is an agricultural levee, controlled by a local levee board -- not county or federal officials. The board members wanted to protect their crop land, so they built up the levee, according to officials.

When a levee farther north breached, it caused water to pool in the area, flooding more land. The group then started talks with officials about breaching Vanmann #30 to allow the water to go back into the Missouri River.

On June 28, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources said it did not regulate the levee in question. The Army Corps of Engineers initially said it would not approve the breach of the levee. But Friday morning, the Corps also said it did not have authority to regulate the Vanmann #30 levee.

It's unclear whether the group needed permission to lower the levee or if the group is even responsible for this morning's explosion.

According to the Pottawattamie County Assessor's Office, trustees of a levee district ordinarily have control over levees in their jurisdiction. But the county attorney's office is investigating the possibility of charges and whether the people responsible obtained the explosives illegally."

I'll admit perhaps there is something to the conspiracy sparked by thesmilingscottsman about the Gavins Point Dam being prepared to be detonated by (possibly) the Army Corps of Engineers or the military. 'They' always test run an 'event' before actually perpetrating it. This might be to gauge the public's reaction, etc.

Ummm but I don't know for sure, at all. This could be that group of people doing it w/o permission to save their own farm land.

Sit tight, people... we only know as much as we do, so no sense in freaking out. If you live in that area, now would be a good time to take a vacation... just incase. I'm serious. I woulda GTFO weeks ago. Best of luck and peace to everybody. For we live in strange and straying times ~

Do you guys all remember just a few days ago when an anonymous alleged military man said that they was going to blow the levee.. Immediately the military responded and said it was a lie.. And now this.. And if you read the guys face at 1:27 you can clearly see he is lying out of his teeth...

[Sheilaaliens]

@kidjr27 the guy (At 01:27) is a spaz and does seem to be lying. my video editor stopped on a frame while rendering and it was him looking down at the floor, he looked guilty. what exactly does that entail, who knowssss...

[kidjr27]

@Sheilaaliens What's your thoughts on Nibiru? If you don't mind me asking that is..

[Sheilaaliens]

@kidjr27 For that, there is a long-winded explanation so I will direct you to it, it's in the description of this video:

/watch?v=WgjW3ycrb_I 'Nibiru/2 Suns Seen in Russia' it's quite fresh and is my latest and current take on the NiBiRu ^-^

Another headline

"Citizens blow up private levee"

[Sheilaaliens]

@jljaries I know but that's a pretty irresponsible headline, since it hasn't been confirmed who actually did it. They are suspects, tho :P

Follow the money.

Their destroyin the food supply

[kingda74]

Well here it comes.. Dare I say, Made in Japan?? So sad people are ignoring important and relevant news.. They rather hear about some Jack named Weiner expose his, then act suprised.. Thumbs down for the sleepers

[mogilny89p]

I would love to see "homeland" "security" come in and try to bullshit and intimidate these farmers. Might be the start of something good.

[mogilny89p]

If they were flooding my fields, I'd blow the fucking thing too. Shows what a joke local and "government" officials are. They were busy groping women and children at the local airport. Get a look in those diapers big boy.

[Windsong14]

Do you people think your government would stand up and tell the truth? Are you bloody kidding me? No way in hell would they ever account for all the mistakes they make, because if they did . . .now this part sounds nice wish it were true, they would all be in jail.

[slobomotion]

Hm, I'm formally trained in behavior analysis (but not currently certified) and I didn't pick up any specific lying in his physical behavior. You guys could be right, what do I know? I do find the information conflicting, however. There's a chance it was some bad person with an explosive -- that's always possible. In connecting the dots, I see a lot of GROSS INCOMPETENCE and yes, I do see suspicious patterns of foul play ALSO by TPTB around the world. Good clip, uprated.

his nose shot across the room, he still can't sit in a room that is less than 6' in diameter.....i.e. Pinocchio... lying bastard. i hope people get out. all these farms and such that will be lost, home destruction, it makes me want to cry. in the documentary sicko, the lady in france said it best "our government fears us, but in the u.s. they fear their government" referring to how they protest to get things, but here people don't. we need to stage a freaking revolt.

[Anothercoilgun]

Remember when Bin Laden was killed on tv. Remember that fucking lie? Well the news lies day and night whether they are aware of the lie or not. Vax is good for you. You must pay taxes. War is good. bunch of bullshit. They know good as well who did this explosion.

[269dremer]
