Gasland Part II

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!

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.

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.

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
