After 26 years at Detroit Water & Sewerage, I know exactly what's in your tap - and what happens when it stops flowing. In this episode of Question Everything, I reveal why Bill Gates buying farmland is really about water rights, why smart meters are actually shutoff switches for wrong-think, and how water becomes the ultimate weapon of control.

From my chemistry background, I'll teach you what actually works versus marketing hype. Why does boiling water concentrate heavy metals instead of removing them? Why do most filters fail at removing fluoride? What's the real difference between chlorine and chloramine - and why does it matter for your survival strategy?

I'll walk you through the three water threats coming: infrastructure collapse, weaponization through smart meters, and deliberate contamination. You'll learn urban water sources most overlook (your hot water heater holds 40-80 gallons), why Berkey filters are marginally effective at best for fluoride, and how to build a DIY alternative for 1/10th the cost.

More importantly, I explain why Flint wasn't incompetence but partly a test - and a successful strategy to wrest control from Detroit. Why certain states banned rainwater collection for a century. How water could be used for ethnicity-specific bioweapons. And why the World Bank predicts water wars by 2030.

This isn't just about having enough to drink - it's about maintaining sovereignty when they make you beg for every drop.

Topics covered:
• The 72-hour rule and social breakdown timeline
• SCADA system vulnerabilities already exploited in Florida
• Why 0.1 micron filters aren't enough for viruses
• Catalytic carbon vs. regular carbon for chloramine removal
• The Nestlé model of manufactured scarcity
• Building community wells while you still can
• Water as currency in the coming collapse
• DIY projects you can complete this week

Critical numbers to remember:
• 8 drops bleach per gallon, wait 30 minutes
• Water weighs 8.34 lbs per gallon
• Berkey PF-2 removes 97-99.75% fluoride for 1,000 gallons
• 1 gallon/person/day is absolute minimum

Note: This is chemistry from actual water treatment experience, not internet theory. Test everything yourself, including these recommendations. Your water security is your responsibility.
