She is right about the corporate fantasy vision of our world and its pathological disregard for its survival. Yet, as water and all other resources, that support our civilization, begin their ineluctable slide into the abyss of once was, this belief base abomination, driven by false notions of endless supply and development for untold billions to waste, will probably accelerate the process, as it marches humanity into the grave. To stop this, Barlow is again right, by identifying water as the vital and key ingredient empowering the actions we take, and that will in the end determine whether we avoid or make inevitable the impending global disaster.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, that serves the public at large should be allowed to be in private hands. As for the UN, dismantle the Security Council and let the General Assembly run the business. Eliminate the veto right of the 5 countries. Those countries not paid up with the UN membership fees, not allowed to vote until paid. Move the UN back to Switzerland and out from under US influence.
