'The
volume of water to be removed from the aquifers is staggering – the

What?!
"The volume of water to be removed from the aquifers is staggering –
the latest figures are that the equivalent of twenty times Sydney
Harbour (10 million megalitres) will be extracted from the GAB for CSG."
The United Kingdom, just like the USA and Australia are now facing the same situation with the "Frack Attack. The people of the United Kingdom like us here in Australia, are concerned for their countries underground water supplies and the prospect of Fracking damaging these precious water reserves.
In Australia it is clear that aquifers have been pierced and damage has occurred in some places already. The only reprimand to these corporations is a tiny fine. A fine - a fine of money. Seriously, do these governments think we believe that type of reprimand will stop anything? The answer is a clear No. It is occurring still as a fine is a false reprimand. The drilling corporations ie Halliburton are absolutely aware of what they are doing and they have prepared ahead of time the statements to the press regarding any flack on the frack.
The governments and the corporations are laughing at us while we all run around like headless chooks doing everything that is humanly possible to stop this.
Dr Ingraffia is a leading spokes person against fracking, he was in the industry for over 20 years and now speaks out about the dangers this is posing to all water reserves on the planet. Below is a breakdown of what is likely to be the outcome in the United Kingdom if they continue at the rate they are.
WITHIN 20 YEARS, 250,000 FRACKING WELLS WILL BE LEAKING OIL AND/OR GAS INTO THE UK AQUIFERS. Check these figures.
.243,610 sq km = land area of UK
60% to be fracked = 146166 sq km
one well every 30 hectares (Ingraffea et al)
100 hectares = 1 sq km
Hence the area intended to be fracked is = 14616600 hectares
@ 1 well per 30 hectares = 487220 wells intended to be drilled
@ 10% failure rate after 1 year = 48722 (say 40,000) wells will be leaking into the UK aquifers after ONE YEAR
@ 60% failure rate after 20 years = 292330 (say 250,000) Will be leaking oil and or gas into the UK Aquifers.
WHY GROUNDWATER (AQUIFERS!) IS VITALLY IMPORTANT!
Groundwater makes up nearly 70% of all the world’s freshwater; only
0.2% is found in lakes, streams or rivers and 30% is bound up in snow
and ice on mountains and in the polar regions. As rivers and lakes tend
to be supported by groundwater, it is not exaggerating to say that
almost all the water we use for agriculture, industry and drinking water
is either groundwater or has been groundwater at some point in the
water cycle.
Groundwater plays a number of very important roles
in our environment and in our economies. In the environment it supports
rivers, lakes and wetlands, especially through drier months when there
is little direct input from rainfall. The flow of groundwater into
rivers as seepage through the river bed, known as base-flow, can be
essential to the health of wildlife and plants that live in the water.
These mining corporations police themselves and these studies are flawed with flawed science from flawed scientists who are up to their necks in this. These scientific reports are well known to be written with a company spin. It all sounds so good. Too good and that was the first hint there was corruption behind the reports.
AGL WATER STUDY
Read the Gloucester Shire Council's report on the Toxic PRODUCED Water. Produced Water is water that has been used in the drilling process and what they plan to do with this water. READ HERE
Brian Monk lives at #2 Hell Street in Newmans Sorcerer's Estate. Seriously Brian lives in South East Queensland west of Toowoomba. He lives in a living nightmare called a Gas Field. He and his family moved to have the quiet life and were over run by the corporate madness of the great Gas Rush. People are sick, crimes are committed against ordinary folks and the chemical nightmare continues on monitoring itself. All the while the only concern is the bottom line of profit. No body has any concern for the people in this equation.
Recently Brian has begun to report on the state of an Aquifer and the proof that gas has breached into the underground water along with chemicals and toxic heavy metals that nature has taken millions of years to separate for our own protection. This is serious
NEWS FLASH, NEWS FLASH. You wont see this in Des Houghton of the Courier mail articles, or the Chimpchilla News. Nor will you see it on
lame-stream media. There has been a major CSG incident near Chinchilla.
An incident involving both Arrow and Origin so I have been told. It
involves the blowing of an aquifer, a water bore blowing out very
impressively so i am told. The CSG compliant unit has attended and it
is reported to me, they have told the Gas Co's to fix the problem.
Of course there is no make good for this and monetary compensation is
the only solution. I have been informed the figure of $1,000,000 is the
proposed compensation. But my concern is will $1,000,000 silence this
issue, is that all the future of our nation is worth. Also if it is as
it has been reported to me, a whole of aquifer damage, what about all
the food that was going to be grown from this aquifer. What about all
the other farmers in the area who rely on this aquifer to remain
productive. My personal opinion is it is TIME FARMERS stood up and
said, MONEY is not the answer, shutting this industry down is the
answer. Instead I suspect the monetary value will be all that is
required to silence this issue, destroy the lives of numerous productive
farmers as the problem spreads, and all the while slimy no account
journalists will continue to spread the co-existence bullshit. So how
much truth is in this allegation, enough for me to hear it from both the
CSG industry and farmers alike. Will I pursue this, no, I don't use
underground water, our bore is already poisoned, both the industry and
the government have covered that up. This claim is for FARMERS who will
be impacted to chase up, for any journalist if there are any left in
lame-stream to follow up. It is common knowledge. For those of you who
don't live in a gasfield, you will not realize this industry leaks
information at an alarming rate, my personal belief is that people
working in the industry are just trying to relieve the burden on their
soul by leaking information. So has anyone got the balls to follow this
up, probably not, but we are talking an aquifer, not a water bore, we
are talking an aquifer. 23rd November 2014 later on:
Thanks for sharing this news flash around, the CSG Compliance Unit needs
to come out and deny or admit the truth of this story. No need to talk
to Arrow or Origin or the APPEA. Just get the facts on the record from
the CSG compliance unit, or DEHP or who ever the hell should be
regulating this industry, and chase up the effected farmers. Now it
isn't my bore and I wasn't there, but i have absolutely no reason to doubt
what I was told from different sources. This is real CSG
news, this is the real deal, someone needs to explore this story. Not
APPEA's spin, what about the real farmers who's lives and future depend
on this aquifer, could there be a link to LINC, they are stinking the
place up again. I mean, investigative journalists used to do this work,
WTF happened to them. What causes water bores to explode, that was how
it was described to me. What about a few souls working in the industry
come clean and go on the record, even if anonymously, get these facts out
there. IT'S TIME. 23 November at 15:06 Chinchilla Water bore blow out and Aquifer destruction. It is reported
that this bore blew out, exploded was the term i was told and water
spewed all over the landowners paddock. Is this OK Australians.
Remember your breakfast probably came from these paddocks, was probably
grown from irrigation water from these aquifers. Only idiot choose to
poison their water, and bigger idiots allow the polluticians they vote
into power to poison it for them. This is a no brainer, there
are already so many bores in this area blowing gas, added to that the
Condamine River is blowing gas at an alarming rate. Yet your
polluticians and useless public servants tell you it is safe. I tell
you what is safe, pack these bastards up, put them on a boat and send
them back to where they came from. Let honest Australians enjoy clean
air, clean water and clean food. Let honest farmers do what they do
best, grow food. Do you need to all go to uni to do a course to
understand the basic simplicity of this. Poison the air and the water
and you poison the food. Deplete the water and nothing grows. WTF, are
we just STUPID.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMPtWT6RsF4 OK,
here is an update on the AQUIFER BLOWOUT. This blowout occurred to a
bore that had sat unused for 30 years, without any indication it blew
out spraying water over a paddock, this was a mix of water and gasses,
it continued for around 24 hours before the water slowed but the gas
continues to gurgle and blow out. I wonder how many of these water
bores the CSIRO tested in their unscientific examination of emissions
from the CSG industry. WHAT does this indicate?????? Clearly
it shows CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE. It shows gas has found its way from
the COAL SEAMS to the AQUIFER. NO SCIENCE or SPIN NEEDED to come to
that conclusion. So how do we think the CSG industry will try to spin
this, did the bore always blow gas, that is the tried and proven way to
fool idiots into looking the other way. I cant see any other option for
our sold out government and its puppet servants to spin this. But the
thing is it DIDN'T always blow gas DID IT. FIRST the bubbling CONDAMINE
RIVER, I love the way they call it a seep.
OK,
about this Aquifer blow out, I want people to think of how easy it is
to shut this up. If i worked for the industry, meaning if I was a total
psychopathic moron this is what I would do. I would insist the farmer
had no contact with the media. I would wave a juicy carrot under the
farmers nose. I would delay the CSG Compliance Unit from commenting or
better still get one of my bought and sold polluticians to comment on,
even Candrill himself maybe. I would then cover all evidence of the crime against humanity hat is being perpetrated right here, right now.
Now I'm not a total moronic psychopath so I would beg the farmer to in
fact contact every media outlet as well as the non-mainstream media
outlets. I would have the guts to stand up for what is right, I would
know that if i signed the bore away i guaranteed the future of my
neighbors to be waterless. I would know that this gas is now escaping
unchecked into the soils all around my bore, my land, my neighbors land
and I would make a stand. I would know that the future of all the
farmers in my region depended on crushing the insane CSG industry and
running it out of our land. I would rule my actions by what I KNOW IS
RIGHT, even if it not so financially rewarding. I would also ask for support and in doing so make sure of the motives of those I asked for support.
If I was a greedy self centered moron I would in fact go for the
million dollar pay out, because to silence this i would guarantee the
industry will pay a million. But in taking that million I would know I
sold all my neighbors and friends out, I would know that history would
show me to be one of the first to sell my soul. That is not how I
would choose to be remembered. So the eyes of Australia are trained
on a farmer who has experienced the destruction of his unused water
bore, waiting to see if that farmer and his advising body is prepared to
sell out Australia, will be interesting the next few days. Why can I
make this passionate plea, simple really, a neighbor just down the road
sold around 5000 acres of his property to QGC for $8,200,000. We own
5200 acres, my cars are falling to bits, the arse is out of my jeans,
but my conscience is clean. As the dirt is shoveled on my face, it will
hit a smiling face because I did the RIGHT thing. We all know what the
right thing is, even our sell out polluticians, our sell out public
servants, our sell out neighbors, we all know what the right thing is.
This farmer should be compensated, but for the right reasons, not
silenced to hide a sad reality that is sweeping across our nation. Our
most precious resource is water, this farmer has the opportunity to
save Australian AQUIFERS.
Further.... So
think about this little fact. How many billions of tons of water are
they extracting from underground. That all holds the gas down, but as
David was explaining to me earlier it also hold the surface up. How
many billions of tons can you extract before the subsidence begins. It
was pointed out to me at a meeting ages ago, that the Murray Darling
Basin will in fact change the course of the river because of this
subsidence. That how important this battle is, right here, right now,
before one aquifer after another falls and eventually the GAB. It is
now we stop this industry and this is the evidence we need to stop it.
people power, not bought and sold science. Further...http://water.usgs.gov/edu/gwdepletion.html Brian quotes UGGS. Now
please read this quote form the above, and tell me how you can remove
billions of tons of water and not cause subsidence. ""Land
subsidence
The
basic cause of land subsidence is a loss of support below ground. In
other words, sometimes when water is taken out of the soil, the soil
collapses, compacts, and drops. This depends on a number of factors,
such as the type of soil and rock below the surface. Land subsidence is
most often caused by human activities, mainly from the removal of
subsurface water." This
Aquifer collapse, and i hope all the farmers near there stand up now
and be counted, because there are a lot of them with bores blowing gas
now. This is the gas industry and governments Achilles, this and
health impacts. But this is in your face obvious. Is it enough, are
there enough true blue Aussies left farming, i guess we find out over the
next few days/weeks. Or is this region only full of sellouts who care
not for the future generations or the land. Come
on you farmers and I know a lot of you, stand up for Australia, if you
don't have someone to film your burning or bubbling bore, message me, we
will do it for you. This is the TIME, they stuffed up, here is the
chance to ensure water for future generations, don't let your
grandchildren down.
Jane Hughes reports to Brian that is now all over Twitter... and that it is being circulated. Quote
from above from Cripps, or Creeps as i think he should be renamed. "I
will make sure, as the Government will, that once the investigation to
determine the cause is finalized, the appropriate action is taken," he
said." Now i translate that to real English, we will kick the dirt, we
will wander around aimlessly, we will do little or nothing and then when
you forget it ever happened we will say it is all under control and
would you please look the other way because there is nothing to see
here. (Tales from the Crypts) Then the ABC Reported on this:http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-24/bore--blow-out-investigation/5914126 Queensland's CSG compliance unit investigating bore 'blow out' on the Western Downs
FARMERS
MAY CHOOSE TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY ON THIS POST. I spent a
lot of the night pondering why a damaged aquifer would get such little
publicity. My prediction that a bought and sold pollutician would spin
the spin occurred, thanks creeps. My expectation that the farmer would
not expose the full extent of damage appears to be true. My prediction
that it wouldn't make mainstream appears correct. But none of this was
what kept me awake last night, I was awake with
this sobering thought, this rumination. It isn't the Gas Companies that
allow this industry to flourish, it isn't the Government elect and
public servants. No, it isn't, I bet that surprises you. And it wasn't
those who signed before the full impacts were obvious. It is those
FARMERS who choose the pay off, the payoff is directly proportional to
the embarrassment the incident could cause. I think back to when Agforce
up here, the farmers organization, went across the state telling
farmers they had no choice, now all they talk of is make goods and
compensation. No doubt they are involved in this little bore blow out
fiasco as well. Anyway, the big bucks will go to the impacted farmer,
the sad thing is, that like the bubbling Condamine River, the river that
is hardly ever seen in the media, because farmers dont allow access.
It is all the same really, the problem is not anyone other than the
farmers who see dollar signs as more important than the future of our
beautiful nation. So I suggest we stop blaming the companies and the
government and start blaming the very people on whom the blame belongs.
Not those farmers in the early days, none of us knew back then. But
those today, who choose to add their signature of access for the thirty
pieces of silver. Not one of my neighbors were forced to sign access
agreements, not one, yet 10 out of 13 have. A couple were bullied and coerced, but not one was forced. That is why Coal Seam Gas will roll
out over this entire nation, because FARMERS have lost sight of what
they once were very good at, caring for the future, their roll is the
greatest, their failure to fulfill it has the greatest impact. So when
you are at meetings, look around you and see who is going to sell you
out, or even if, when the price is right, you will sell out those around
you. The FARMER and LAND OWNERS are the true sell outs of our nation.
Now i have no intention of modifying this comment. To the farmers I
have stood with and talked to who will never sell out, you are all
legends, to the rest of you, you are sell outs, you are to blame, not Blighty or Candrill or a gas co, you give this industry permission to
destroy our nation with your signature, no one else, no excuses.
Probably loose a lot of friends with this post, but the thing is, I don't
want sell outs as friends, I fight this fight at great personal cost,
and I expect my friends to fight it at the same cost. This is the
battle for a future, if that isnt worth the cost, then un-friend me. [Facebook] I
would like to add something here, in the early days before we knew, I
would have sold to get out of the industrialization, I just didn't want
people all over our land. So no saint here, and I don't profess to be
one. But now no one has an excuse, everyone knows, everywhere, and
those who cannot see cannot see for greed. But
now as I watch this cancer spreading over the entire nation I realize
every signature not given, every pollution exposed, every failure
publicized is one chip for the future, other areas and some of ours will
save itself by chipping away. PLEASE DON'T SIGN, you have a future to
protect.
Friend Brian Monk on Facebook if you want to stay abreast of what is happening on the ground in a real life living hell in the Western Downs of South East Queensland at Tara
I contacted the Gasfield
Community Support group after hearing Laurence Springborg saying on the
radio that no workers in the CSG industry had become sick, and the air
and water tests were good quality.
I started in the industry in 2008, and worked for 3 ½ years on a mobile drill rig. Initially I was employed by Mitchell drilling who were taken over by AJ Lucas. With the exception of one well, at all other times Mitchell drilling /AJ Lucas were contracted to Santos. I was employed as the “offsider” initially, graduating to senior drillers assistant.
One of the tasks was mixing chemicals into the mud pits to pump down the drill string. There were different polymers used. They pumped “mud” down the drill string. (Salt water, KCL and polymer JK261, (a lubricant)). On an average lease, if they were not taking losses, you would use an average of 12 tons of KCL and 15 pallets (720 drums /10,800kg of polymer) to keep the viscosity up and lubricate the drill bit. The polymer was mixed in the pits through a hopper. The polymer had to be sprinkled into the hopper and it was blowing in the face, in the eyes; we were constantly breathing it in. This happened for hours at a time.
~ Graeme Gibson ~ Hunter Valley Protection Alliance vice-chairman
People in the Hunter Valley are outraged by the recent contamination of the Pilliga.
The Maitland Mercury ran a Poll Monkey Poll and the results were phenomenal. 94.4% voted No and only a tiny 5.6% voted Yes to Coal Seam Gas Mining.
Graeme Gibson said news from the Pilliga was a particular concern to him when interviewed by the Mercury newspaper. The news of the EPA fine of $1500 has been seen as a joke by the people of Australia and they want more justice than this because the water is at risk.
Gloucester NSW
“AGL, it’s time to move on,” Mr Gibson said emphatically."
“You
clearly cannot now, and will not be able in the future, guarantee the
safety of the fresh water aquifers upon which the vineyards rely to
maintain their international reputation.”
I shared the poll as widely as I possibly could to get people to vote and tell the real story of the people and what they want on this issue of water. Thanks to Peter for his help on this matter because with out him I would not have seen this poll perhaps.
Contaminating aquifers is a treasonous thing to do and our prime minister has openly participated in treasonous activities known to poison the people.
If you want to read more please go to the Maitland Mercury and view this for yourself because the results are quite clear indeed.
Bending straightaway to the whims of large corporate mining companies is what Shire councils do when BIG MINING comes to town. They seem to either lose their respect for the job they have or they are on the take in some shape or form with kick backs later on promised to secure contracts being unfettered.
People are desperately trying to protect their land and their water from contamination from mining and the Narrabri Shire Council gives these constituents no support what so ever and choose to side with the corrupt complaints of mining to force people against their will to leave the area and cease to protect the land and water from contamination and degradation to habitat and culturally significant areas.
Local Farmer Cliff Wallace invited the protectors onto his property to camp because they were evicted by council from the original camp after 550 days. He is just one farmer who is trying to do what ever he can to protect the most important thing to us all - clean water and uncontaminated aquifers. He isn't a young man and he has lived here all of his life and he gets zero respect from the local council.
This should be an eyeopener for all people in Australia to see how their rights have been eroded away to nothing.
The council is now trying to bully Mr Wallace by ordering him to evict the protectors from his private land and have issued an order to him. Cliff is a tough old character and he knows the score. He is very worried about the future of his and other land holders futures. He has no intention of backing down because he knows Australia is watching now and he knows he has the support of the Australian people behind him.
This story about the Narrabri Council is the same scenario being played out in towns across Australia at the present moment. All councils using the same bullying approach to achieve the goal of the large corporate entities with the threat of legal action if their wishes are not fulfilled.
There appears to be some bullying going on as Mr Wallace clearly pointed out to council that they were willing to act on one letter of complaint but do nothing for the people regarding the complete walk over by big Mining.
The fight continues as many across Australia flock to help the Pilliga and Leard's regions from sure disaster from Coal Mining and Coal Seam Gas Mining.
I empathize with the people of this land because we are under attack from our supposed own citizens. This is a silent war and they are killing us slowly by poisoning the water for human and animal and flora use.
Santos'
coal seam gas project in the Pilliga, NSW, has been found to have
contaminated a nearby aquifer, with uranium levels 20 higher than safe
drinking water. Santos have long claimed that coal seam gas won't damage
water - but this suggests otherwise.
This is what we all knew was happening but now it is proven beyond a reasonable doubt that they are putting profit before people and health. Saying that environmentalists are over-reacting is treasonous in my opinion. I am not sure if these politicians are stupid or psychopathic.
To knowingly hurt someone without conscience and with out feeling is tagged as be psychopathic and is well documented in the DSM-IV. List of mental health disorders.
Invisible subtle energy occurs around us all of the time, and is measurable by science. For instance the Orb phenomena. The high incidence of these appearing in photographs taken at large megalith sites is fascinating. This shows that there is a high concentration of electrical energy surrounding some of the ancient monoliths on the planet. These orbs are seen more in flash photography and are often written off as dust or particles in the air.
English: Street light orbs Polski: Efekt orb, nieostre światła latarni ulicznych (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
No one really knows what Orbs are. The best explanation is they are balls of electrified or ionized air that tend to hang together. A good analogy would be ball lightening, where the air is simply so electrified that the molecules are excited enough to glow.
English: The image of Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) at age 23. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Other evidence shows that there is energy is occurring naturally everywhere on the planet that our science knows about but seems to ignore. Nicola Tesla sought to provide the world with free wireless electricity for everyone on Earth. He discovered that electricity occurred naturally throughout the Earths atmosphere and ground. The Telluric currents in the ground that John Burke (Seed of Knowledge) discussed and the electricity present that is present in the atmosphere which is ionized by the sun. Tesla developed ways to harness those energies. Tesla knew about this and he did not take the advantage like Edison did, Edison was an opportunist.
English: The photograph image of Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) at age 34. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Tesla wanted to harness the Natural Energy that exists everywhere on Earth and make it free to the public. Edison created electricity and became very rich by creating a regulated monopoly for profit with his explosion electricity.

Between 1901 and 1917 a radio tower was constructed on Long Island as a wireless broadcasting system for telephone and electrical signals. It was constructed on an aquifer with descending passage ways and tunnels beneath it and at the time very few understood how it worked. Nicola Tesla's funding was ultimately dropped by J P Morgan because Tesla wanted this wireless electricity to be free and therefore JP Morgan could not make a profit so even though Nicola Tesla's genius was seen by many, he was still driven into relative obscurity.
Tesla's
Wardenclyffe plant on Long Island in partial stage of completion. Work
on the -foot-diameter (0 m) cupola had not yet begun. There is a coal
car parked next to the building. From this facility, Tesla hoped to
demonstrate wireless transmission of electrical energy across the
Atlantic. Circa 1902. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The energy to create free wireless energy has always existed on our planet and it still exists today. This isn't the only energy either because it is in rivers, tsunamis, wind and frequencies etc and this energy is called implosion energy as apposed to explosion energy which is the type of electricity widely used at present.
Subtle energy is based on different technology to explosion energy and its not the kind of energy that pollutes and it was a completely passive energy that has no by products and the energy we use today is generated by combustion and is non renewable and this explosion energy leaves exhaust and pollution and our system is based on this energy. This is why the petrol industry is so expensive. The implosion energy consists of solar panels and wind power is clean and renewable. You need the beam of the sun on running water that runs in a zig zag fashion for this to occur (not a straight line).
In addition to the limestone aquifers underneath the pyramids there is evidence of a network of man made tunnels. The locals know about these as it was their playing yard and they swam and explored them at great length as children do. This is obviously one way of creating energy.
So, if the pyramid fields of the band of peace and the network of underground tunnels are still there, then why are they not still producing energy like they did in the past? The condition of the pyramids and the smooth outer covering stones are the reason. It leaks now, but even though this has been severely weakened from it original form there are still many reports of electricity being quite real there now.
Back in the 1880's Seimens and Englishman and a pioneer in electricity. Seimens incidentally, has a unit of electrical resistance named after him and used still today. This man Seimens stood on top of one of the great pyramids and produced the first LADEN JAR by improvisation. He stood a top of the great structure and did this in the 1880's. He used a wine bottle that was wrapped in wet newspaper and he held it above his head until it sparked. He was accused of using witchcraft as he accidentally touched an Arab guide and knocked him unconscious and after this they quickly fled the area.
Then there is the Schist Disk that was found by by Dr Walter Henri, It was found at Saqqara. The disc shows clear knowledge of sophisticated technology. See this link for more information on this "SCHIST DISK" = This peculiar object created
5,000 years ago appears to be part of a component of an ancient unknown
advanced mechanism that was most assuredly in my opinion a component of producing energy in the distant
past. http://www.messagetoeagle.com/discsabu.php
