Farewell to Coal Seam Gas right across Australia and the world. I say this because of the damage forced onto the culture of the land and the damage to the water and the toxic overload for humans.
Protectors taking care of seeing the end of AGL in 2014.

Photon tuning time . .
22/7 The hermetic code is the CODE of
DNA.
Music is what unites all of this? RESONANCE! I had a vision of the men and the yidake and that was still no mistake and the sound must go out over this great land and it will smash this apart in the spirit realm. Men feeling hopeless can pick up the instrument where ever they are in the country and the spirit realm will be effected.
Now is the time to do everything possible to lift your resonance. Get a drum and beat it. Pick up anything, Spoons even. Men play your Yidake. The spirit is calling us up to another level with this. We have to have faith in our ability to do this.
Rhythm can develop this. A new sound will change everything. This is in my opinion and I feel confident and have done for 18months now. Getting Australia behind it is a challenge to say the least.

Dialectics - False Choices.
Published on 22 Dec 2013
Mark Passio explains how the concept
of "dialectics" are false choices and how the "New" Age Movement acts
as one of these false choice dialectics for people who don't get
suckered in by the more cultural and archetypal religions such as
Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism and Islam etc.TRANSCRIPT of the Video

NO FRACKING WAY - The video by Aussies Against Fracking
This awesome song "No Fracking Way" was written, arranged, produced and performed by Leo Sayer (published by Silverbird Songs Ltd)
Leo Sayer and a cast of pure gold music legends have lined up to help us fight the fracc industry here in Australia.
Leo Sayer had a hit with I feel Like Dancing in the early 1980's, and the Gatton Star paper reported:
COAL seam gas drilling obviously doesn't make English-born pop star Leo Sayer feel like dancing.There are so many people in this video that I recognize both from protecting and my many nights in front of the stage at bands over the years.
More info
The song is about getting people interested and involved in the fight against the coal seam gas industry. Lots got a guernsey in the video with The Knitting Nannas Against Gas, The Girls Against Gas, well known Nimbin-based protester Benny Zable and Jarmbi and Drew Hutton from LTG, all of these featured on the footage of this song. There are scenes from protests in the northern Rivers and Tara and other actions against Coal Seam Gas Mining.
The song "No Fracking Way", was recorded by Leo at Silverbird Studios. John Hudson mixed the track, and Paul Berton played Guitar.
Aussies against Fracking are a group of anti - Csg musicians who support Lock the Gate and their ideals and this song is a gift to the movement. These days Leo Sayer is an Aussie boy, doin it the Straya way now. Massive thanks to him and all who contributed in any way either great or small, this was perfect timing in my opinion.
The line up for the video is also a who's who of classic Australian Rock. The likes of Doc Neeson from the Angels, Deni Hines, Kevin Borich, Casey Burgess, Mitch Anderson, Mark Gable, Jeff Duff, Steve Balbi from Noisworks and Mi Sex, Jade Hurley, Connor Cleary, Alex Gibson, Graham Wilson and Jarmb-Ji Githabul.
The featured singers, musicians and choir were filmed and recorded at Pow Wow Studios, Sydney.
The Sound recording was done by Des O'Neill, and special thanks to Chris Fitz-Gibbon. The Production was handled by Annie Wright for Aussies Against Fracking. With special thanks to Nick Hanlon.
For More information on all of this please go to: "http://www.lockthegate.org.au/"
Since this song was released, I have played it on the Melonpop Drive Show on 2bbb Radio and I dare say 2014 with see it played weekly from here on in.

History of the Australian CSG saga. ( Queensland)
posted by Glen Shaefer
More information : http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/.../2010/5310T1958.pdf
On 25 March 2010, in Queensland Parliament, Premier Bligh announced, "At 5pm yesterday history was made.."
(See p.1139 of the Queensland Parliament 'Record of Proceedings', for the 'First session of the 53rd Parliament' held on Thursday, 25 March 2010).
A letter dated 24 March 2010, from BG Group's Catherine Tanna to Anna Bligh, is entered as a 'Tabled paper' on p.1141. The letter reports that BG Group (chief executive Frank Chapman) and China National Offshore Oil Corporation (president Fu Chengyu) had just signed 'one of Australia's largest sales'. The letter mentions the presence of Martin Ferguson and Prince Andrew at the signing of the contract. At that time the EIS process was incomplete and basic information required by the EIS Terms of Reference (and environmental law) had not been provided to government or the public.
Jeff Seeney MP (who at the time was a member of the opposition, but is now Deputy Premier) interjected Anna Bligh's announcement, stating:
"Take credit for other people's work. You have done nothing".
The planning phase for the CSG invasion commenced under the Howard government.

Whistle Blower - Simone Marsh ... she tried to make it STOP!
All of this took place in the earlier part of 2013... looking back on this now it is easy to see the holes in the process mechanism. So I went back and checked to see if it was still available and it was. So here is the link and the transcript of that show to read.
http://www.abc.net.au/insidebusiness/content/2011/s3731460.htm
Alan Kohler presenter reports for 4 corners and back in the beginning of April 2013 things started hotting up for QGC in Queensland. He kicked off the program with this opening statement:
The other big issue that's blown up again is environmental risk posed by the rapidly expanding coal seam gas industry in Queensland and New South Wales.
Four Corners lit the fuse with the aid of a whistleblower from inside the Queensland public service.(from Four Corners)
MATTHEW CARNEY, REPORTER:
Why has the coal seam gas industry been allowed to proceed at such a rapid pace? Tonight, Four Corners can reveal why.
Simone Marsh played a critical role in the approval process of Australia's largest coal seam gas developments, Santos' $18 billion project and QGC's $20 billion project in Southern Queensland. She was a key insider and she is telling her story for the first time.
SIMONE MARSH, SENIOR ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALIST:
I think the truth is that it's not an ecologically sustainable activity. Obviously they didn't want to say that. They wanted approval to come in and conduct that activity. They didn't want anyone to understand what the long-term, um, impacts were going to be and the long-term costs associated with this activity.
ALAN KOHLER:

Here is a bit of what he had to say.
(Excerpt from ABC Radio National broadcast)
DAVID KNOX, CEO, SANTOS:
That's what I am really concerned about, it just there is some falsehoods and dishonest claims being made.
There was a very extensive set of groundwater studies done. They were done by an independent party. It was quality work. They were done throughout the process.
We do not in any way affect the groundwater in any substantive way. And that's what the studies show.
ALAN KOHLER:
So are we getting worried about the gas producers?
RICHARD CAMPBELL, PENINSULA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT:
I'm worried. I'm worried. Because they've sold the gas forward, they are building the plants, they've assumed that they are going to get all the gas to feed these plants and the ...
Undoubtedly they've done these studies, they've done studies. But whether they've done them in the specific cases where there are problems ...
I mean, if you stand back a bit and think of central west Queensland, it looks flat and it looks benign, you know, there's no problems. But when you, if you've delved into the coal industry, you find there are all sorts of difficulties if you try and get a decent coal seam. There is always a split, a fault. And I am just a bit concerned ...
ALAN KOHLER:
You have been a big investor in gas companies, so are you getting unnerved by this?
RICHARD CAMPBELL:
Yes.
(Laughter)
ALAN KOHLER:
What about you?
DEAN PAATSCH, DIRECTOR, OWNERSHIP MANAGEMENT:
Well I think the political management of the political risk is something that is real. Small chance of something happening, catastrophic consequences if it does, and that's a risk.
So it is all about the risk management.
It shouldn't be about the PR. I think there is a big chance of the Balkanisation of rural electorates, where farmers are very sensitive. Their livelihood depends on the continued flow of quality water and politics can change.
ALAN KOHLER:
It can be powerful when farmers line up with greenies, can't it?
DEAN PAATSCH:
Well these investments will play out over the life of multiple Parliaments, and so we need to get the science right but we also need to get the communication right as well.
ALAN KOHLER:
What's the corporate world saying about this Stephen?
STEPHEN BARTHOLOMEUSZ, BUSINESS SPECTATOR:
I think if you look at the numbers, Alan, somewhere between $70 billion and $80 billion will be spent on the plants in Gladstone. They've got 20 year sales contracts for the gas, they've got external investors, customer investments already in there.
They're going to be producing the first LNG out of Curtis Island I think in 2015, with most of it flying by 2016. So it's already much has been done up there, so much money has been sunk in the ground and so much money has been committed that it's almost - you can't reverse it, you can't stop it.
The environmental process, I mean, that Santos one took over three years. They've 1200-odd environmental conditions. You would hope a bureaucracy spending more than three years and imposing that number of conditions would get most things right.
But the guys are right. This is potentially quite tricky, dangerous stuff.
Then the Gladstone Observer reported on :
Lock the Gate Alliance spokesman Drew Hutton said the program had
revealed "not only a hasty and incompetent process in the approval of
thousands of coal seam gas wells in Queensland in 2010, but also a
potentially illegal one".
The key breach occurred with the failure by coal seam gas companies to
provide the Queensland Government with sufficient information to enable a
valid environmental authority to be provided, he said.
Mr Hutton and Ms Marsh have taken complaints about the process to the state's Crime and Misconduct Commission.
"Any public servant who has signed an environmental authority for any
of these projects has breached several sections of the Environmental
Protection Act and, therefore, is likely to have committed official
misconduct," Mr Hutton said.
"This situation came about because of improper political pressure that
was placed on the public servants, as Simone Marsh has described."
Mr Hutton thanked Queensland Premier Campbell Newman for joining his
and Ms Marsh's complaint to the CMC, and believed the CMC should hold a
full, open, public inquiry.
"This is the biggest public policy failure I have seen in my 40 years
of public life, and deserves the sort of public inquiry that ICAC is
currently conducting into mining activities in New South Wales," Mr
Hutton said.
