Poor Turkmenistan; hugged by the rip-off artist

The situation is so critical on a worldwide basis, it would be criminal to let the rip-off artist of all time practice its trade, and in the process, add to the woes of Planet Earth.

 

What’s happening these days, is that the shameless: “Envy of the World” and “The Giant in Oil and Gas” and “The Superpower of Water Desalination,” that’s in reality neither of those things, has managed to hug a desperate Turkmenistan, convincing its leaders that Israel can solve its water shortage for them.

 

As long as nobody had it up to their ears hearing the barefaced propaganda criers of Israel repeat that the little thing had innovated the most advanced technics in the realm of seawater desalination, the cry kept circulating unimpeded. But then, it happened that somebody got it up to their ears and decided to quash the hoax. They did so, and the result was a spectacle that showed Israel to be a technological trainwreck when it comes to desalinating seawater and doing other industries.

 

Trying to get above the humiliation that resulted from that revelation, the criers of Israel came up with the idea of embellishing their hoax by creating a new one — all this in the hope that the new hoax will be more palatable to those who could not swallow the first.

 

To that end, the criers of Israel approached the leaders of Turkmenistan and told them about Israel having – not the secret of seawater desalination this time – but the secret of agricultural technics that use less water while yielding the same amount of crop. And from the looks of it, it seems that Turkmenistan is about to bite into the new Jewish hoax — and of course, pay a fee for the privilege.

 

But it would be no less criminal to let Israel get away with the new hoax than it was to let it get away with the old. That’s because the technics which Israel has been talking (bragging) about, are universally known technics, have been around for a time, and remain in the public domain for everyone to review and utilize if and when they wish to do so.

 

The trouble, however, is that Israel is among the few entities on Planet Earth that cannot use those technics efficiently due to circumstances. You see, my friend, doing agriculture on a small plot of land is not the same as doing agriculture on a large plot of land. Israel is small; Just about 4 percent the surface area of Turkmenistan, which itself occupies only half the surface area of Egypt.

 

Whereas ideas abound for making good use of every drop of water in agriculture, such as:

 

Using the drip technic to give each plant the exact amount of water and no more;

 

Irrigating the fields at sunrise to make the water evaporate through the leaves rather than be absorbed into the ground;

 

Recoup the drainage water, clean it of its toxic residue, add nutrition to it and reuse it;

 

But the most important of the technics, is the one which requires that the plot of land be flat and horizontal throughout its expanse. That’s important because water flows down an inclined plot, forcing the farmer to keep using more of it till the higher parts are covered with water. And this can represent a huge waste.

 

What you can do efficiently with a large plot of land, however, is use a laser beam to guide the tractor that’s flattening the land, turning it into a horizontal plot throughout its expanse.

 

It is worth recalling that there was a time when Egypt did not adopt those technics because history and the culture of the time stood in the way, even though the country’s size was ideal for such implementation. The trouble was that the passing of a farmer caused his offspring to keep dividing the land into smaller plots, and shared by an ever larger number of offspring.

 

That problem was solved in two ways. The first was that vast expanses of the desert were open for cultivation, and leased for industrial farming to take root in Egypt. The second solution came with the rapid industrialization program that the country has adopted. This is creating industrial jobs that the would-be young farmers of today choose to do over farming. At this time, more and more of the young sell what they inherit, and migrate to the cities looking for industrial jobs to do.

 

But what did happen lately that drew attention to what Israel is scheming? Here is what happened: “Turkmenistan Is Facing A Water Crisis,” an article that Israel’s propaganda criers convinced Eurasianet to write and publish in Oil Price on April 25, 2023.

 

Here, in condensed form, is what the article says:

 

“Turkmenistan faces severe water stress. To mitigate the crisis, Turkmenistan seeks international cooperation, specifically from Israel with their advanced water-saving techniques. Turkmenistan is showing willingness to open up to international involvement in addressing what can be described as a full-blown crisis. On April 20, Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen was in Ashgabat to inaugurate his country’s embassy. One topic that came up when Cohen met with President Serdar Berdymukhamedov was how Israel might share its experiences in agriculture and water-saving techniques. Like Turkmenistan, Israel has emerged as a global leader in developing techniques for mitigating impacts. The widespread reuse of wastewater and the development of desalination projects are two approaches Turkmenistan will be eager to imitate”.

 

Poor Turkmenistan. They are about to discover what it’s like to be suckered by the rip-off artist of all time.
