Gasland Part II

The mindless zombies supporting this twaddle are going to tell you everyone who debunks this crap is in the pay of someone with an interest in promoting fracking. They SAY you should just research for yourself, but they will then TELL you that anyone who calls them "fools" is just lying.

Ask yourself a simple question: Are there not jobs to be had working for environmental organizations? Is there not a tremendous amount of money in the Green Lobby, as well? So don't buy their garbage that they are any more honorable and forthright than their opposition. They have money and jobs on the line, too. They have an AGENDA, just as much as the oil companies.

And DO do your own research. Here's one from a site the anti-frackers deprecate as "in the pay of the oil companies"... http://energyindepth.org/Texas/flaming-water-nobody-acknowledge/

Pictures -- yes, PICTURES from BEFORE any of the fracking was started showing that the groundwater there was ALREADY highly flammable... exactly as has been claimed by the companies under attack.

So think about that while watching this, and go hunt up the video of the director openly claiming the facts didn't matter, he had a story to tell.

This "documentary" ranks right up there with Triumph Of The Will as a piece of work.

I've never ever encountered any film from HBO would be so unwatchable until met this one. I understand that this documentary may be carried a very alarming message to our lives, but the shaky, never stopped shifting camera work with constantly changing focuses on everything, the poorly synchronized audio recording that often failed to match what we saw in this video only resulted a completely unwatchable viewing experience. You have to adjust your eyesight, your reflex from your eyeballs to your brain to this video's random shifting, but I assure you, it might cause brain damage, ruin your eyesight, cause severe headache during or afterward, pending on how long you could stand. The video uploaded to YouTube is exactly the same, I just couldn't watch it over 3 minutes. I couldn't believe that only about 3 minutes, I suffered spinning dizziness and minor headache.

The other mystery that I could never have solved is the tittle: Why captioned with Part "II"? Where's Part "I"?

Firstly watch the award winning documentary "Fracknation" which blew apart the many falsehoods in "Gasland." The complete nonsense and lies in Gasland were so exposed that the maker had to make this new version "Gasland II" which drops some of the lies in the original but then adds others.

It is a stone cold and well documented FACT that people in areas where there are gas and oil deposits have been seeing fires in faucets since the 1700's. This has been happening with well water in Colorado, NY, or Pennsylvania before there was any oil or gas drilling of any kind in the USA. Fires occurred in bucket based wells, and when pump faucets were added to water wells in the 1700's people saw fired ignite in those faucets. To use this image as a criticism of fracking is complete BS.

Gasland II is almost as bad as Matt Damon's "Promised Land" whihc it turns out was almost fully funded by....The United Arab Emirates" which of course wants the US and Europe to be dependent on natural gas from the Middle East. (Think that is a hoax clam? Google "Promised Land" and "UAE" and find the NYTimes and USA Today articles investigating exposing the shell companies that turn out to be behind Matt Damon's production.

Take a read of The Guardian's articl:e "Russia 'secretly working with environmentalists to oppose fracking." Or the Washington Post "Russian trolls sought to inflame debate over climate change, fracking and Dakota pipeline" which show the Russians have spent tens of millions pushing the anti fracking meme and working with gasbags who oppose fracking and are doing Putins work for him.

The saying, "Power Corrupts And Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely" is/was coined to denote the world of Politicians, Politics, Corporations and Institutions!

The man who made this exact, precise and totally correct quote was the Historian, Lord Actons. He quoted/stated/warned that power tended to corrupt, and that absolute power corrupted absolutely. He applied this particular statement to individuals, institutions, and governments, way back in 1887, but it is as relevant today as it was on the day he said it!

Much of politics is riddled with corruption from individuals who receive/gain power (from a countries inhabitants who make the same errors repeatedly, over and over again by electing wealthy, egotistical and greedy candidates). People who have absolutely no interest in the peoples wants or needs and have sought status as a politician so they can act upon their own selfish greed for personal gain; they ignore all individuals that they are supposed to be helping!

Josh Fox does a very good job of getting that across in this, his 2nd documentary about GASLAND, film. The bad part of his exposé is the terrible camera work that is wobbly, shaky and darting about all over the place throughout the documentary; its little things that are just as annoying as politicians 😄.

I usually find that when you have a certain type of negative reviews (such as those made here) , they are either from people who are totally ignorant of understanding the the seriousness of a hazardous problem, or they, and perhaps family members, have some kind of vested interest; financially or job related!

I lived for a short time in America (had a great time too) and a major thing I noticed was that the majority of Americans are seriously/totally ignorant/unknowing of places and events in/on their own planet. They are all about our America is the best etc, and just ignore everything happening around, and outside, of their shallow existences. Others I met who had minds that thought about the world beyond 'Yankee Doodles' shores, were extremely knowledgeable about their own country's misgivings; and those of the worlds too!

The corruption exposed here is so blatant by crooked companies and political officials, from Governors and their lackey's, all the way to the White-house and the Senate! The breakdown of US society has been extremely evident for a number of years and it will eventually erupt into serious rioting and violence. Fracking will be a big cause of it (in a follow on time of massive deteriorating health factors to millions of citizens). But of course, the huge problems will stem from the ever increasing gap between the extremely poor and the extremely wealthy!

If you are a fan of HBO's notorious left leaning "documentaries" then this one will not disappoint you. If you have your own brain and can think independently and do a little of your own research you will find this documentary to be worthless.

"What I didn't know was that the 2005 energy bill pushed through Congress by Dick Cheney exempts the oil and natural gas industries from the Safe Drinking Water Act. They were also exempt from the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Superfund law, and about a dozen other environmental and Democratic regulations."

Dick Cheney didn't do any harm to the Federal Clean Air Act because there is no "Halliburton Loophole" statutory law amendment of the Clean Air Act contained in the Energy Policy Act of 2005; you can read it for yourself.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that the Federal Clean Air Act has never been amended to incorporate a categorical oil and gas industry exemption from the fundamental jurisdictional requirements of the Act. Josh Fox's claim that the oil and gas industry has some sort of categorical exemption from regulation and that hydraulic fracturing and other oil and gas industry process equipment and facilities are exempted from regulation under the Federal Clean Air Act is fabrication and erroneous conflation. The Federal Clean Air Act affords U.S. EPA full jurisdiction over emissions from the oil and gas industry. This statutory jurisdiction takes place both directly and through the states through development of federally approved and federally enforceable state implementation plans under Section 110 of the Clean Air Act.

Also, contrary to Gasland claims, there is no exemption contained in the Federal Clean Water Act either that is a categorical exemption of the oil and gas industry from jurisdiction under the Act for hydraulic fracturing process wastewater.....another Gasland falsehood.

I could go on but what's the point? Get you news from Bill Maher and never read anything of fact then make your own documentary about how G.W. Bush is causing the continuous failure of the Obama administration.
