Gasland Part II

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"?

It's us. The people. Jobs. Security. Television. Private property. Yale. West Point. Wal Mart. CNN. A new truck. A roasted turkey. Everyone of the complaining parties in the land "Gasland" portraits seems to own a pickup truck. I saw only big trucks. New trucks. Bought with the money the gas and oil corporations paid them for their land to be fracked. Then the chemicals started leaking. Water ruined. The big wake-up. Too late. Money already pocketed, truck bought, TV bought, disclosure agreement signed. Too late.

Truck drivers don't care. We don't care until our own water supply is being taken from us.

I genuinely do appreciate this documentary. It does not only expose the irreparable damage caused by fracking, but it exposes (perhaps without being aware of it) how it is happening. What Homeland America made of? It shows who is fracking who. Corporations only pocked the profit. The 1% doesn't drive hundreds of thousands of trucks. The 1% doesn't drill and operate hundreds of thousands of wells. They pay off our government the same way they pay off us. Disclosure agreement signed.

Vietnam veterans. Iraq veterans. Afghanistan veterans. War criminals in my eyes. Or perhaps 'only' the truck drivers of war criminals 'protecting' the Homeland by destroying other peoples home land continents away. Where is Iraq again? Afghanistan? Is there perhaps oil to be drilled or pipelines to be build in these far away foreign home lands? Let's get them some freedom. Let's get them some truckloads of freedom. Bombs first. Then American Sniper. Then American Halliburton. It's also red. Like Coca Cola. And blood. Blood and stripes.

American war veterans are now being the victims of the corporations they helped so successfully to grow in power.

America is fracking itself.

Go and watch American Sniper. Support war. Don't care about Iraqi citizens. They are all terrorists. They are not citizens anymore. They don't have a country anymore. It has been fracked away from them. It's been drilled apart by Halliburton. You were driving the tanks and the trucks then. You are still driving the trucks now, in your backyard.

How many wells across the US?

How many truckloads needed for one well?

How many truck drivers?

Who cares about your water?

There is no Corporate America. There is no Halliburton. There is only us working for them. To have a job. A new big Ford F250. A TV in the kitchen, to watch the 'news' while we roast our turkeys. Two cars. Three cars. Thank you very much.

On another note, how many ethnic, African American, Native Indian, Asian American, Latino American land owners did we meet in this film? None. The only African American we encounter in this portrait of America are one child and one President.

Also, once we ruined all our drinking water what do we think will happen next? The price for drinking water will sky rocket. And guess who will own the only clean drinking water wells then? I've got a good feeling about it. Thank you very much.

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.

What Gas Companies do the last to reviewers work for? LOL suppose he made up the bleeding noses and fracking gas material in peoples lungs too! Doesn't matter what the facts are to some people I go know for a fact it's unnatural destruction of the environment for corporate profit Good movie worth a watch.

What facts do the previous reviewers that hated it have that it's all propaganda and lies.

Glad I don't live near one of those shales anymore.

But of course the industry isn't causing any of that right

A must watch film

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.
