Maxim of “One Percenter” Water (Mis)Management: The ‘peasants’ can die of thirst…. Water the golf course first!
WATER AND EARTH
Three-quarters of the Earth’s surface is covered with water, yet 98 percent is salt water and not fit for consumption.
Less than one percent of all the water on Earth is freshwater available for human consumption.
WATER AND HUMANS
The human body is more than 60 percent water. Blood is 92 percent water, the brain and muscles are 75 percent water, and bones are about 22 percent water.
A human can survive for a month or more without eating food, but only a week or so without drinking water.
WATER CONSUMPTION
3.9 trillion gallons of water are consumed in the United States per month.
The average American uses 176 gallons of water per day compared to 5 gallons of water the average African family uses each day.

Amount of water it would take, per day, to support 4.7 billion people at the UN daily minimum: 2.5 billion gallons

Amount of water used by 60,000 villagers in Thailand, on average, per day: 6,500 cubic meters

“The Secret of The Thrice-Greatest Hermes (the three parts of the wisdom — alchemy, astrology, and theurgy — is a text purporting to reveal the secret of the primordial No-Thing and its diverse transmutations, passed down to humankind through an entity described as a combination of the Greek messenger of the gods, Hermes, and the Egyptian god Thoth, who guided souls to the afterlife.)
It was revealed in a letter written by the Greek philosopher and teacher, Aristotle to his student, Alexander the Great, who perceived himself as god-like, and yet remained mortal. Aristotle, hoping to pass his own investigation into the Mystery of Mysteries to his student, related this story of his adventures:
“Here is that which the priest Sagijus of Nabulus has dictated concerning the entrance
of Balinas into the hidden chamber… After my entrance into the chamber I came up to an old man sitting on a golden throne. He was holding an emerald tablet in one hand.
And behold the following, engraved in Cyriac, the primordial language of Cyrus The Great, was written thereon: It contains an accurate commentary that cannot be doubted. It states:
“What is the above is from the below and the below is from the above. The work of Wonders is from The One.”
