The broad spectrum of cultural responses to cataclysmic events attest to the profoundly unsettling impact chaotic events in the skies may have had.

 David Talbott has been studying mythology for many years. The video he has produced called Symbols of an Alien Sky follows on from his work with incredible and life changing Thunderbolts of the Gods (youtube or full version on googlevideo) and his earlier film Remembering the end of the World.

The basic idea is that why did our ancestors give godly and terrible powers and stories to the planets? Especially as they are so far away and have nothing to do with us? Unless in our past they were things to fear and did bring devastation to the Earth.

As crazy as it sound the visual and historical evidence is very convincing and as you get further into Symbols of an Alien Sky it seems as if his theories have stronger proof.

SHOCKING DEATH on 2 Continents of the World

Last month I understood that this would be the killing days and I did say this.  Today I get up to the worst news of slaughters of human children in two countries. 

Such a powerful time out there on the planet at the present moment.  We are all being affected and its very emotional in nature.  The killings were deaths the world will take notice of.

 

Twenty-six people, including 20 children, have been killed after a shooting at a primary school in the US state of Connecticut, officials say.
The shooting occurred at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, which is in the western part of Connecticut, on Friday morning. The school had been evacuated and police had secured the scene

Home From GLENUGIE for 2bbb

I drove back from Glenugie today to do MELONPOP DRIVE 2bbb  FRIDAY 4pm  - 6pm

 I got to radio today to broadcast to GLENUGIE and it is always hilarious for me as this time the computer would not work and I had to deal with it again. 

I need WINDOWS 8 Lessons big time on finding the Media Player in the form I can use the thing.  I quit, I cried, I swore very loudly, I put a CD in and I tried and tried and to no avail today. However, I could get music out of it but there was no fader and no swapping around.  I had to remember what I had already played.

Hopefully the message I wanted to broadcast about the BLOCKADE SITE at GLENUGIE. That was the most important reason for coming home and also to get some loving from my man Bricee who I missed very much and of course the children Phoenix n Sooty.

13th December:
Evening: Another peaceful rig free day at the Glenugie blockade. Visits from the Aussie Helpers with Christmas hampers, a local councillor and a very supportive anti-CSG farmer buoyed the spirits of blockaders as we watch and wait for the arrival of the rig. Please come and spend some time in camp and back up the locals who have now been on site for four weeks shining the spotlight of community awareness on this reckless industry. Big thanks to those who have been sending food and other supplies and spending a day or or more with us here- the support from all over the region from the catchments of the Tweed to the mid-Clarence, headwaters of the Nymboida and south to the Coffs Coast has been so heartening and the locals are very grateful for the support. There has also been awesome support from local grafton businesses supplying food and other essentials for which are greatly appreciated by the protestors.

28/11/12: Action Update

The protest by local residents at the site of a Metgasco drill pad at Glenugie near Grafton entered it’s eighth day today. Metgasco have not done any work since last Thursday and have not visited the site since Monday.

Those maintaining the vigil are in high spirits following a visit from around 50 locals this morning who dropped into the site on their way to work, proclaiming “We Work and We Care”.  There has been great support from the local community with both individuals and businesses providing food for the protestors and the vigil camp is well organised and equipped with shelters, cooking facilities, colourful banners and signs, and information on non-violent direct action. Yesterday the site was busy with a knit in from the Grafton chapter of the Knitting Nannas and an amicable visit from the Clarence Valley Council Rangers.
The locals plan to maintain the vigil indefinitely and welcome visits from supporters from across the region. Please stay tuned for any alerts about further action at the site when your presence may be called upon.

Please get a carload of people together to come and support them in their efforts tomorrow, Thursday 22nd November.

Practical Protest Techniques

Tripod Building and Non violent methods explained.

TODAY protestors gathered on site to mark the passing of 12 minutes past 12 on 12/12/12 (a numerical event which we will never experience again!)

Practical Protesting Techniques

Using your body and a few simple tools to maximize your protest!

The aim of all the techniques in this briefing is to increase the length of time that you can remain at the site of an action and therefore hopefully increase the effectiveness of your protest, whether you are blocking the entrance to a farm gate stopping a Csg Drill Rig or the building of a military base, stopping a nuclear convoy or preventing trees being cut down or damming a beautiful river.

Using your body If you have nothing else to hand then the best thing you have is your own body weight. Sitting or lying down makes it much more difficult for security guards or police to push or move you away from the place where you want to be.

You can increase this difficulty by passively resisting (see below). Co-operating with others can further increase your effectiveness:

Linking arms Sit close together and link arms with your neighbors. The more of you that can link arms the better.

Five or more people can block a single carriageway of a road. More than a dozen and you can block both carriageways! Link arms at the elbow and bring your hands in front of you. Take a tight hold of your own wrists or elbows. You are now a bit harder to move - the police will need to break your grip before they can pick you up and carry you away. If you're linked together in a line, the people at the end are more vulnerable, so you might want to consider sitting in a circle.

Linking arms and legs in a circle Five or more people can form a circle then link arms as above. If everyone's facing inwards, the circle can be made more impregnable by jumbling up your legs as well. If your facing inwards you won't be able to see what's happening behind you. Work together with your group and act as each other's eyes and ears.

Passive resistance Passive resistance is an age old protest technique used to slow down your removal from a protest once you have been arrested. To some people it's an ideological statement about not co-operating with the authorities. Essentially you simply relax your muscles so that you go limp. Best to do this when you're already sitting or lying, though you can passively resist from standing if you're willing to take a fall! By totally relaxing you make it much more difficult for the police to get a good grip of you and to carry you.

Instead of being walked away by one officer, you will now have to be carried which will take several officers. Depending on how many police are at the action this will slow down the removal of you and your group considerably and they may even give up when they get tired, or if its too far to the police van. Relaxed muscles also hurt less when they get banged and bumped.

Be aware of the difference between passively and actively resisting arrest. If you flail your arms and try to wriggle away or try to release their grip on you, you may face a charge of 'obstructing a police officer in the execution of their duty'.

Remember, it’s always your choice, so if it gets uncomfortable when they start to carry or drag you, you can get up and walk at any time. Wear old shoes and clothing that won't ride up when you are being carried. A rucksack can help protect your back. Some people advise that you break the rule about total relaxation, and keep your chin tucked tightly forward to stop your head dangling and possibly being damaged.

A word on communication
It's easy to get carried away and start shouting at police to let your com-padres go, especially when friends are under pressure and possibly in pain.

Remember that you need to be able to communicate with each other. Maybe the person being pulled out of your line or circle doesn't want you to hang on to their leg and play tug of war with the police, using them as the rope. You need to be able to hear them and respond if they ask for support, or ask you to let go.

Keep communication calm and clear and talk through likely scenarios and personal limits in advance, if possible.

The Trees are special here

Glenugie Protest Site

All Jobs are honorable but this job is the best because you sit alone with the trees a lot waiting for cars so it gives you a chance to listen to the wisdom of the trees. 

This Blackbutt tree behind my chair is substantial indeed and the trees sing like violins.

No Coal Seam for the COLSTREAM

I left home this today and stopped at Coffs Harbour and got some mozzie Coils and Candles and boiled lollies to keep me warm.

 

Eight Mile Avenue just outside Grafton, GLENUGIE ACTION CAMP against Csg.

Today I arrived back for the week to stand firm against the METGASCO Rig getting into Drill here.

Images @ Melonpopzdropz Flickr

DIRECT ACTION REQUIRED NOW ...

The land where Metgasco are working on preparing to drill is situated in the beautiful Coldstream Wetlands, in the Clarence Valley, just south of Grafton NSW.
The property is owned by an 'absentee landholder' so the owner doesn't actually live/work on the property.

Many of the surrounding land holders have Lock the Gate triangles up on their fences and so much of the community is outraged, and opposing Metgasco.

Please join with us in solidarity at this peaceful protest.
We are THE ONLY RESCUE TEAM.
The mood is empowering, come and add your energy to this, history making event and if you cannot, then please nudge everyone else to.

There is space on the roadside to park cars - on the strip between the tar road and the property fence lines. There is a safe camping area on private property about 800m away.

BRING WATER, FOOD, ICE & SHADE.
& PLEASE DRIVE SAFE.

  FROM MY EARTH WARRIOR SISTER
