Yes Leah No Csg You speak for all of us... accept I never had the first bit... my bad!

 Leah No Csg  posted her thoughts and in my opinion she speaks for all of us with her thoughts she penned so much so I felt the desire for it to be the target of my Friday blog.

Jan sum's things up nicely...  all with her look.
I must admit, for a second there while reading this I did feel a pang of compassion for those who have lost their jobs and those who lost huge money in Metgasco shares.... But then I snapped back into reality and remembered the following:
Not one pang of remorse or compassion was shown by the employees of Metgasco in our dealings with them, and we had many a time with them bailed up unable to get into a drill site. We told them our concerns over and over, including the Director, we pleaded with them to educate themselves on those who are suffering from this industry. All they did was snigger while they talked of how they wanted to run us over on the cb radio and the filthy derogatory names they called those standing protecting their land (we heard these conversations while intercepting their cb radio communications, just happened to be on same channel?? And in fact some of their contractors DID run over protestors in a hit and run (with police now)

IMG 8073 Glenugie's Black MondayI then think of those shareholders who have made up lies about protestors being paid $17.50 per hour and how protestors defecated all over the roads and damaged cars with babies inside.... Absolute lies, and they know it. They stooped to such low levels, all the time with not a ounce of concern for us when we spoke of our land value drops, our health concerns and the simple fact we wanted to keep thousands of big truck movements off our tiny dirt roads, how the threat of csg was already affecting our businesses and communities.....

They cared nothing about the fact many in our regions suffered major stress and local doctors admitted to me they were getting local farmers in who were on the edge due to the threat of CSG. The shareholders laughed at people like Brian Monk who showed evidence of his bore being flammable, calling him a magician of some kind?? They ignored tearful mothers with sick children, with unexplainable rashes, blood noses and benzene in their blood while they lived beside a gas field in Tara QLD, with no escape.

But Karma has certainly set everything right, Metgasco shares will reach 4c today and those greedy heartless bastards will still be sitting there festering and planning further lying letters to the editor to defame us, but it is all in vein, and those greedy, heartlessness investors will be rewarded with a big fat debt.

The irony, and the fact that they will suffer the very thing they were willing to force upon us is quite profound.. It seems the dirtier the heart, those with the least morals and ethical care for other human beings will be punished most severely, and by the very sword they held...thank you Karma for finally showing us that if you live by the sword, you will die by the sword.
Metgasco is calling for calm across the region as it de-commission's the well sites in the Northern Rivers.  To read more about this story go here :  ECHO NEWS

There were over three hundred protesters at the Doubtful Creek community blockade against Csg Mining near Kyogle in the Northern Rivers. About one hundren Police were in attendance.

Drew Hutton sat in the middle of the road  right in front of the Doubtful Creek drilling site where Metgasco want to drill. and he was arrested  for his trouble.

People from all over the Northern Rivers and including others from surrounding districts have rallied together and have been protesting Metgasco's Drilling operations on the North Coast of NSW at both Doubtful Creek and Avenue Road Glenugie.

There have been many arrests during the course of this action and to date this is close to forty arrests I am told.   Police issued Drew Hutton with a penalty infringement notice.  He was released from custody soon after he was processed.

'Lawless vigilantes' delay CSG drilling at Glenugie

The CEO of Metgasco Peter Henderson doesn't mince words when it comes to anti-CSG campaigners who've successfully delayed drilling work at Glenugie, near Grafton.

A swelteringly hot day didn't deter 80 protestors who gathered to stop the trucks ferrying drilling equipment into the site at Glenugie on Monday.
Glenugie resident Deb Whitley has never protested before and it's not something she never saw herself doing.
However yesterday, as the trucks were rumbling past her she saw an opportunity.
"I just took the plunge and latched myself onto one of the trucks carrying the equipment."
"It just happened so quickly I was locked on before I realised' she said.
"I was a little concerned about safety but I thought I'd be OK."
It was three hours before police were able to remove Ms Whitley, to cheers of congratulations by protestors while frustrated contractors looked on in disgust.
Deb Whitley says the court summons she's expecting to receive will have been worth the effort.
"I do feel great that we inhibited the work that was supposed to happen yesterday and I just feel that it is a good outcome because here we are talking about it on the radio" Ms Whitley told the ABC's Justine Frazier this morning.
Metgasco CEO Peter Henderson was scathing of the action of Ms Whitley and the other protestors.
"Lawless vigilantes are taking action which is totally unjustified, and in doing so they're threatening people's safety" he said.
Peter Henderson says the driver of the truck was forced to slam on the brakes and was shaken by the experience.
"Can you imagine how that contractor would have felt if he hadn't been able to put his foot on the brake very quickly and Ms Whitley had been injured?"
Mr Henderson says the industry and the government accept the right of protestors to disagree but obstructing work is not acceptable.
"Can you imagine what a farmer would say if some vigilante from Queensland came down here and said he didn't like what he was doing and stopped him getting onto his land and doing his job?"
Deb Whitley says protestors feel direct action is their only choice.
"It's an extreme measure and I don't know if it would be the best way but it seems like we have no choice, because we don't seem to be heard by the government, or by Metgasco, or by mining companies about our fears in the area.
"They just seem to be disregarding how the general community feels about this fracking process."
Grafton Police are also investigating allegations that an employee of Metgasco was threatened during the protest.

So that is the spin in the media and you have the video that was taken by protestors YOU MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP - THEY ARE POINT BLANK LYING!  and now ALLEGATIONS of THREATS - MORE LIES to accumulate enough trouble to scare people off.  THIS IS A TACTIC!
