The Year of Water – Blue Initiatives to Replace Green


Posted originally on Jan 26, 2026 by Martin Armstrong |  

The globalists have found a new, extremely efficient mechanism to control the masses—water. The World Economic Forum stated that 2026 will be “the year of water,” as the globalists devise a method to control a life essential. Blue has become the new green, and in the coming years, we will see a new market emerge as centralized powers quantify and control the global water supply.

“The water crisis will be high on the agenda at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos, with the launch of major new initiatives that aim to move the world forward on taking action on all water systems – ocean and freshwater,” the WEF announced on its website, noting that there will be the third UN Water Conference in December of this year.

The globalists have identified each nation’s main water sources. They are scheming methods to determine how much water humans are using, who is using too much, and how they can control our access to water. Changing water temperatures will be cited as another reason to surrender power to the centralized elite. “Blue economy ventures” will replace green initiatives.

Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, a Austian businessman, was Klaus Schwab’s successor after the staged coup that caused Schwab to step down from his role. The 81-year-old Austrian businessman spent his career working for Nestle, moving through the ranks from 1968 to 1997 when he was appointed CEO, a position he held until 2008. He remained at Nestle as a chairman until 2017, when he was appointed as Chairman Emeritus.

Brabeck-Letmathe held board memberships with Credit Suisse, Roche, Exxon Mobil, L’Oréal, and Salt Mobile SA. He was the founder and chairman of the 2030 Water Resources Group (WRG), a public-private partnership within the World Bank.

The 2030 Water Resources Group (2030 WRG) is a global multi-stakeholder partnership that brings together governments, the private sector, and civil society to address the growing challenges of water scarcity and water management worldwide. This program was first launched at the WEF’s Davos in 2008, and naturally, Nestlé is a major partner as well. Demand for water will outweigh supply by 2030, the group insists, and its goal is to manage the world’s water supply.

The one opinion, which I think is extreme, is represented by the NGOs, who bang on about declaring water a public right. That means that as a human being you should have a right to water. That’s an extreme solution,” Brabeck-Letmathe stated in a 2005 documentary entitled “We Feed the World.” He believes that everyone should have access to water, but only for essential needs, which he believes amounts to 50-100 liters of clean water per day.

Nestle extracts free-flowing water, bottles it up in plastic containers, and marks it up for a profit. The company has acquired water extraction rights across North America, permitting it to extract large volumes of water from public lands, springs, and aquifers, often siphoning far more than the law permits. The company effectively found a way to privatize access to water. Many communities have gone without water due to the company’s control over the water supply. The company has no concern for the environment or human rights, and this is merely the tip of the iceberg in terms of their corrupt practices.

What better way to control the masses than to control the water supply? Remember, the World Economic Forum has strongly advocated banning independent farming and gardening. Everything they ban is under the premise of protecting the climate, but as you can see, the new WEF CEO has never cared about the environment.

Climate change has lost its urgency as the Earth continues to spin despite endless cries of the end of times. As a WEF partner noted at Davos this year, the importance of water is more tangible than the broad scope of “climate change.” “Climate change is a bit abstract, but everyone understands how important water is.” She then explains how they can exploit this to “experiment with the notion of the common good.”

Water will be quantified and valued. “The cost of water must be clear and account for the full financial costs associated with its sustainable supply and use,” the WEF said in a published report on “holistic water valuation.” There is now a market for water. Perhaps next they will create one for air.

The WEF partnered with the United Nations to encourage “global policy coherence” and increased investment to manage the world’s water supply. It is no conspiracy – globalist entities are scheming ways to manage our water usage. These unelected entities believe they can deem what constitutes essential and non-essential water usage. Brabeck-Letmathe believes that 98.5% of the freshwater used for farming and agriculture should be classified as an economic good priced to reduce waste. Controlling the water supply will also permit them to control the food supply.

Peter Brabeck-Letmathe has spent a lifetime studying methods for privatizing water. In the video above, Brabeck-Letmathe said that Klaus Schwab asked him why he wanted to focus on water over CO2 and the Earth’s warming. “I think our real problem is more urgent—it’s on the water side.” He later noted that governments must first believe that they have a water crisis and then partner with the private sector to solve this new problem. Agenda 2030 did not die with Schwab’s departure. There is a new leader at the helm and a new focus to usurp ultimate control over the global population.
