Industrial Grift at Scale Exposed by Citizen Journalist [WATCH]

Adam Huntington criticized the progress, cost overruns, and management of San Diego’s Pure Water Project in two video statements, raising concerns about transparency, accountability, and whether the long-delayed project will meet its stated goals.

The project, which is intended to come online by 2026 and produce 30 million gallons of water, is now roughly $300 million over budget and years behind schedule, according to Huntington.

“You guys thought the Somalian grift was bad. This is a this is our pure water project in San Diego. It’s a multi billion dollar project, and this site has been under construction for almost a decade now,” Huntington said.

“It’s supposed to be online by 2026 pumping out 30 million gallons… But I don’t, I don’t see this thing being online by 2026 pumping 30 million gallons.”

Huntington questioned the technology being used and said the worksite appears understaffed, with minimal visible progress despite years of construction.

“This is the city of San Diego’s heralded project toilet to tap,” he said.

“So they take our our toilet water, and they filter it, which is this technology is like 30 years old, so it can’t even, it’s not even supposed to filter out all the hormones and things like that people put in their body nowadays.”

He also pointed to the removal of signage and restricted visibility at the site following reports he conducted with Luke Slywaker.

“They’ve taken down all the pure water project signage,” Huntington said.

“After Luke and I did a did a special report a few months ago, it looks like they built up this wall so we can’t see him inside anymore.”

Huntington said the site does not resemble a project nearing completion.

“There’s only about five people working here on any given day,” he said.

“This is a multi billion dollar project, and it’s just just a handful of guys moving the crane around.”

He described the delays and inefficiencies as evidence of broader infrastructure problems.

“If you thought the Somalian grift was bad, just wait until we pull back the layers on the infrastructure. Fraud. It’s happening everywhere,” Huntington said.

In a second video, Huntington focused on how equipment for the project is being stored, arguing that exposure to salt air and dust could render it unusable.

He noted that Friars Road has been closed since around 2019 as a staging area and remains cluttered with materials.

“All right, guys, here we are just just a couple blocks over from the pure water project site, and this is where they’re storing everything,” he said.

“A lot of this equipment is probably going to be rendered useless just because of all the salt air and rust that’s going on here.”

He questioned whether the project’s management is being held accountable and said the conditions raise serious concerns.

“This is wild,” Huntington said.

“This is about a two mile stretch of road that’s just absolutely cluttered with construction sh*t.”

Huntington accused those overseeing the project of mismanagement and fraud, naming what he described as a Jacobs family–managed project and calling for federal intervention.

“But I just please somebody tell me how this is not fraud,” he said. “Dude, send in the f**king feds. RAID City Hall. RAID all the NGOs in San Diego. Raid the Jacobs Family Services, the whole nine yards.”

He ended both statements by questioning whether the project will ever be completed as promised and whether public funds have been properly safeguarded.

“Pure water project San Diego, it is $300 million over budget and years behind schedule, and it doesn’t look like it’s coming on line anytime soon,” Huntington said.
