Take it all with a grain of algae - for now

(NaturalNews) In what he describes as "the mother of all conspiracy theories," an Arizona-based talk radio host says the powers that be are intentionally destroying large bodies of water in a bid to create a multi-trillion-dollar biofuel industry.According to Dave Hodges, who laid out the details on his website the conspiracy involves "the Obama Administration and many others (individual billionaires, select politicians, BP, Exxon, Nalco, GM, GE, Goldman Sachs,, and many others including the Department of Defense," all of which are "deeply invested in bio-fuels.""These billionaire psychopaths will willingly sacrifice the Gulf and all of its residents for this multi Trillion Dollar (sic) industry representing a new era of energy applications," he writes.In particular, Hodges - who hosts a Sunday evening program on the Republic Broadcasting Network - lays out what he believes is taking place:Hodges says the administration, along with the entities he has identified, are using nitrogen fertilizers and Corexit to "systematically" create dead zones in huge bodies of water in and around the U.S.One way to create them, he says, is through farming run-off. Farmers apply nitrogen fertilizer to their crops in a bid to boost yields, overloading the soil with the compound. Plants will absorb 30-50 percent of it, he says, but the rest - up to 87 pounds per acre - will run off into the nearest body of water. The only thing that grows in a nitrogen-rich watery environment is algae "Therefore, nitrogen has a decided evil side as it is creating huge problems with major bodies of water that we are only now beginning to understand. The EPA is aware of the problem, yet remains silent on the issue," he writes.Hodges says Obama is neck-deep in the conspiracy. He says the president himself telegraphed his intentions in a March 15 announcement calling for a shift away from oil to biofuels:Hodges also ties in John Holdren, former chief climate advisor to Obama, who has proposed "geo-engineering" the world's oceans, ostensibly to battle climate change."And isn't it and (sic) interesting coincidence that the President's science advisor, John Holdren, in 2009, advocated for "fertilizing" the oceans? I remember that most people thought Holdren had lost his mind when he proposed this as a solution for global warming . However, in the context of creating dead zones through the use of Corexit and nitrogen fertilizers, his suggestion makes a great deal of sense in light of today's heightened interest in bio-fuels," Hodges wrote.Few could have predicted that, less than a decade after leaving office, former Vice President Al Gore would become a millionaire on par with Mitt Romney (the former is now said to be worth $200 million), so it's possible Obama and Co. are setting themselves up for life after the presidency.But as with all good conspiracy theories, more research is needed. We'll be keeping an eye on this developing story.Read Hodges' full report here
