So what has been done to rectify the situation? Not a lot to be honest! Here’s the latest which I could find. Of course, they’re going to tell everything is alright now but the Wikipedia page titled ‘Oroville Dam’ states: ‘On November 1, DWR director Grant Davis said, "Lake Oroville’s main spillway is indeed ready to safely handle winter flows if needed.” While this completes phase 1 of the construction, there remains a phase 2 to be completed in 2018.’
That will involve the top part of the spillway which wasn’t damaged being repaired. Already, however, the repaired spillway is showing hairline cracks. (October 2017.) Earlier in the construction too it was found ‘the bedrock under the spillway was weak, necessitating deeper excavations and more concrete.’ If the original bedrock was too weak what chance do they think compacted concrete will have?
The first video here (Oroville Update January 10, 2018 | Look New Spillway Repair | Lake Oroville Dam | 1/10/2018) shows the work started May 2017 and asks a few questions of it. ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7Kqdw2Fg6hg )
The second (Oroville Update 6 Jan.2018 | Look Spillway Lake Final Verdict On Oro Dam | 1/6/18) shows the “hole” in the spillway first at 3:30 and again during the video. ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tTjGd0LXVoU ) When I saw it (the hole) I asked myself just what was going on here. Why had this bit of the bedrock sheared away so badly when everything all around was still seemingly perfectly alright and in place? Again, there was a clue in Wikipedia but for the lake rather than the dam which came later. Here it stated: ‘The local indigenous tribe were the Konkow Maidu (translation is 'man') who originally settled the lake region and Feather River for many years. Today many of the small towns including Oroville were originally occupied by the Maidu people. In 2002, a Sonoma State study took archaeological inventory of the 15,476 acres (6,263 ha) of Lake Oroville to learn 250 sites are from the prehistoric era relating to the Native American life along the Feather River and an additional 478 sites dating to the Gold Rush. These sites included open-air residential sites, caves and rock shelters, limited lithic scatters, rock art, quarries and workshops, bedrock milling sites and cemetery areas. Natives lives were disrupted by gold discovery in 1848 and the white miners infiltrated their lands. In April 1848, only three months after gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill, John Bidwell found gold on the Feather River at a spot known today as the town of Bidwell Bar. Bidwell began to work the claim using local Konkow Maidu workers, due to the rapid spreading news of the California strikes under a year California's non-native population climbed from 20,000 to 100,000 and by 1850 Butte County alone supported 3,052 miners.
‘Construction on the dam began in 1957 to relocate what is now Highway 70 and the then Western Pacific (now Union Pacific) Railroad. A few years later the partially completed dam checked flooding on the Feather River in December 1964. This saved the Sacramento Valley from flooding.’ When I checked where Bidwell Bar is located the canyon showed up right in the middle of Lake Oroville. The lake was further back in 1848. It was just the Feather River ‘in the day.’ No doubt now by inference either the Dam was left structurally impaired or something happened so today’s modern day Elites could take what remained of the gold from that triangular shaped piece of land to the right as we look of the main spillway. Don’t believe me? Watch the third video: (Oroville Dam – Massive Gold Rush Now Underway at the ‘Sluice Box’ Spillway?) ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g8NnclCqfSY ) And Gary Larrabee also speaks about a connection with King Solomon and how he received his gold. Hmmm. Enjoy.
