Cupriavidus Metallidurants .... If you can say it first time you go to the top of the class.

It is the name of a bacterium that grows on Gold Chloride.  So its all about making GOLD!  This is modern alchemy combining it with microbiology.

I have been reading about this substance.  I do a lot of research into mining company activities around the world and it has come to my notice regarding this Cupriavidus Metallidurants.  It is a bacteria that grows on Gold Chloride,  known also as liquid gold.  This is very very toxic.  I have been reading that this bacteria is responsible for turning toxic tailing ponds into mini gold deposits. 

It has the action of eating all of the toxic stuff and converting this into 24 carat gold.  This is a relatively new find by some people in America.

Because I like to see the earth like a large human being, given that we share just about everything in common and also my Hermetic study tells me as above so below.    We are sharing everything in the universe, the stars, the oceans you know the story.  I like to try to ponder the reasons for things. 

This time I am pondering the effects of gold on the human body firstly, and secondly the role Gold plays in the earth.  What is its job in the big scheme of things?

If there is this bacterium that does this conversion, it would be feasible to say it would be similar to the human body dispelling an object out of the body that was foreign (ie. broken glass etc)  The gold is the result of all of the bound up foreign matter and it has to come out of the earth.  This is why once there were nuggets on the ground.  Then there are also the Gold seams.  These seams may have been much farther under ground than what they are today and it may have taken a billion years to happen but slowly the gold reaches for the surface.

That is my hypothesis and I feel rather comfortable with that.  I am also very interested in the way this could perhaps clean up the toxic messes left by all of these rogue mining companies after we have thoroughly expelled them from our existence.  We strive for a life that is free from the power hungry masses in the sense that I do not share the philosophy of being treated like a fool who cannot make decisions about my self and what is good or bad for me.  That I need to be indeed governed.  So in the new system we will not have this type of mining that leaves such a unforgivable mess and the in your face evidence the earth was raped and left laying there bleeding and bare.

Getting to know Gloucester intimately as the Csg rolls on down to Gloucester!

Gloucester, NSW (Photo credit: sachman75)

Disappearing Gloucester #11 (Photo credit: R~P~M)

 Today I have spent many hours gleaning documents on mining gas and everything there is to know about the mining situation in Gloucester NSW.  I have found  Gloucester Mines and there is Gloucester Resources, these appear to be owned by the Chinese and with this type of overseas investment, there is very little that can be done to stop them from completely annihilating a town through health issues.   The average age 64 is a vulnerable population age. 

This is prime agricultural land surrounding Gloucester.  There was a big timber industry once but government put pay to this as well.  Now, there is a starving strapped community,  and they are looking for a breath of fresh air and an injection of employment  into the area.  This mining is not the answer!  They don't employ local people anyway.  This is what we are seeing.  There were 140 thousand "147 Visas" allocated last year and lots of those Visa's are being used in the Australian mining industry. 

The knitting nannas were paramount in the last push to get rid of Metgasco on the Northern Rivers.  Perhaps its time to go on the road to Gloucester and educate the conservative ones in the community there.   It is no longer alright to sit and trust government will do the right thing.  If we allow this to be the case, we do this at our own peril and the peril of our grandchildren in the future. 

Brian Monk  from  Tara Queensland is very concerned as his family are serious victim's of this rogue mining industry.   He speaks often regarding how these companies swindle farmers and communities.  They work their way through the entire community from the school and the hospital system leaving no stone unturned all the time knowing they are doing this to make it look good,  to make it look on the level.

Make no mistake there is no level with this.  It has this to stop right now.  Our children's health is worth much, much more than this hell.

Csg Mining and Open Cut Mining cause health problems for all age groups.  This age group of mid sixties is vulnerable there is no denying this fact.  Small particles of dust lodge in the lung and the rest is history.  People need to understand and start doing their own research on this matter.  They have to stop sitting up like stuffed bears in front of the idiot box at night and believing the propaganda they are being fed. 

The mining companies own the media via the monopoly that exists with the Murdochs and the Fairfax media groups owning everything from Radio to Television and Print Media.    Truly this lot are not going to be telling the entire story where ever they can get away with it.  Sins of omission is what I tend to call this.  It is as good as lying to your face.  Rob Oakeshot could do more against this too, he is the sitting member for Lynne that takes in this area.  He says the new laws have come too late.   I do not think so.  I think we have a chance with this, I think we can beat down AGL Managing Director Michael Fraser.   Now to comically known as AGHELL and Michael Loser.  sounds good.

Drill Rig heads down highway to Gloucester

We act fast around this neck of the woods.

Image by Joe Walker

I got a quick message from up north near Corindi that the rig was seen moving down the Pacific Highway.  I threw my camera in the car along with Ceceila sign and off I went and Carol and her hubby  joined me on the bridge and in five more minutes Joe was there also.  We got so much attention and this was evident of the horns beeping and lights flashing and thumbs up and cheers from drivers driving past.  We were noticed that is for sure.


Sadly we missed the rig.  Not our fault though as we really had no idea of this.  But we did put in an effort that a lot of Australians driving through Urunga saw and were reminded of the horror going on where most never see.

This rig was on its way to Gloucester south of here in the top of the Hunter Valley.  This land is prime farm land and it appears a lot do not want this but they are a very conservative bunch.  I fear the knitting nanas need to go on the road to make the older generation wake up from their slumber.  AGL are not going to  be nice when this kicks off!

Water is more precious than Gold and John is right here in this image!

This afternoon on 2bbb on Melonpop Drive at 4pm there will be an interview and information time regarding csg and the hard facts.  Tune in for this if you are around at that time.

The Csg Drill Rig leaves Doubtful Creek NSW

Photo from Csg Free Northern Rivers

Thirty five Police arrived at Doubtful Creek today because the  Drill rig was leaving.  Police organized to truck in 35 tonnes of road base to form an alternate road for the rig to get out with the original road already well barricaded and blockaded with three protesters locking themselves on to a painted Ford Falcon dubbed the "simmotron" in front parked in front of the access road to the drill site.  The idea behind this is to keep it in the cage now.  This stops it from moving to another site to cause the same damage somewhere else . This is just as important as stopping it getting in at the first instance.

Champagne Corks were popping on the North Coast today!

Small enclaves of anti Csg people were popping the champagne corks today as the news sank in about Metgasco's demise today.  Metgasco shares fell by 21% over the past two days and trading at around 7c late yesterday.
 On March 14 last year the share price was sitting at 39c, which was down from their all-time high of $1.51 in June 2008.  Jason McFadden from Ballina-based JPM Financial Planning said that over the past 12 months the company's value had fallen by 73%.  He said Metgasco stock was a high-risk proposition with it having only three major projects.

"I would say that if you are holding stock in the company today then you may have missed the boat," he said.
"Most stock brokers are currently recommending selling shares and there are a significant number of sellers in the market and not many buyers."   Information from Northern Star.

 

 ANTI-CSG group Lock the Gate is claiming a "massive victory" for the community after Metgasco announced it would suspend its Northern Rivers operations.

In a statement, Lock the Gate spokeswoman Boudicca Cerese said the decision vindicated the efforts of "thousands of people across the region" who had opposed coal seam gas.
Ms Cerese also rejected a claim by Metgasco community opposition had nothing to do with the decision to withdraw.

Lock the Gate spokeswoman Boudicca Cerese.

"Whilst the company may blame regulatory uncertainty for their decision, the fact is that their operations have faced massive opposition from communities across the region," she said.
"In the past two years we have seen the growth of an unprecedented social movement made up of people from across the political spectrum who are totally opposed to the industrialisation of our beautiful region for coal seam gas mining.
"We have seen all sorts of innovative and creative actions from community members ranging from the development of the grass roots gas field free community surveys to the formation of community action groups like the wonderful Knitting Nannas Against Gas.
"We have witnessed the largest ever rally in the region with 7,000 people on the streets of Lismore last May marching against coal seam gas.
"We have been inspired by the courageous efforts of local communities and their supporters at Glenugie and Doubtful Creek who have survived floods and wild weather whilst continuously blockading Metgasco's drilling operations for almost four months.
"People from all walks of life have come together as never before- farmers, townspeople, Aboriginal traditional owners, tree changers, you name it- working collaboratively in the face of our government's failure to protect what we all hold dear- our natural places, food growing land and precious water supplies," she said.
Lock the Gate regional coordinator Ian Gaillard warned Metgasco would face renewed opposition if it ever tried to make good on its plan to return to the region once the regulatory environment had settled.
"The people of the Northern Rivers have shown that coal seam gas companies simply cannot operate in the face of empowered and resolute community opposition," Mr Gaillard said.

The CSG Calvary are here!

 

The federal government is set to boost its environmental powers in a surprise move today which could stop coal-seam gas (CSG) mining and exploration dead in its tracks around Australia.

At the Federal Cabinet meeting in Canberra a decision was made to use the trigger under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act to assess CSG projects.

North coast MPs Janellle Saffin (Lismore) and Justine Elliot (Richmond) have already been briefed on the changes by Environment Minister Tony Burke.

The Lock the Gate Alliance, which has campaigned for federal intervention ahead of the September election, has welcomed the latest move.

Alliance president Drew Hutton applauded the proposed federal intervention as ‘a very good first step’ but said the government could do more.

Greens leader Christine Milne said ‘the old parties need to wake up to the fact that the protection of agricultural land and water is critical in an age of food security’.

Farmers call for support from local council for Doubtful Ck blockade

From Lock the Gate Alliance

• Local farmers who have been strong supporters of the Doubtful Ck anti-CSG

  blockade have gone public in an attempt to clear up false reports
  circulating in recent weeks about the impact of the blockade on local
  residents. In a letter to Kyogle Council the farmers have also called
  on council to support them in their ongoing efforts to stop coal seam gas
  activities in their local area.
  
  "We want to set the record straight about this blockade as we are disgusted
  at some of the falsehoods that are being pedaled around," said local born
  sixth generation farmer, Don Durrant, who has traveled to Chinchilla in
  Queensland to see first hand the impacts of the CSG industry on rural
  communities.
  
  "There has been a vocal minority claiming to have been abused and
  inconvenienced yet I have been in the thick of the action and I have seen
  none of this- just people calling out to slow down when some locals are
  driving dangerously and aggressively."
  
  "I have only missed three days of the six week blockade and and am
  overwhelmed with gratitude to the dozens and dozens of people who have come
  and camped in adverse conditions to support us local farmers against this
  insidious industry."
  
  "We all have lives to live, families to look after, and farms to run but we
  have put these on hold to try to save the necessities of life- our water,
  our land, our food supply and the beautiful country that our ancestors
  fought and died for," he said.
  
  Local beef cattle and vegetable producer Peter Stackhouse has also been
  central to the action at Doubtful Creek.
  
  "I've only missed two days of the blockade when my back was crook as I want
  to do everything I can to stop this coal seam gas industry," Peter said.
  
  "How we farmers can help is by giving the logistical support to the people
  camping- food and water and hot showers and accommodation when they need
  it," he said.
  
  "I have not seen any of the sort of incidents they are talking about in the
  media- if I had I would have stopped it," he said.
  
  "No-one has been blocked from accessing their properties- only the public
  road and state forest access are being blockaded as we are just here to
  stop Metgasco, no-one else."
  
  "This issue encompasses more than just our immediate environs and there are
  not enough people in such sparsely populated rural areas to provide
  continuous opposition at this type of blockade, so we welcome the input of
  people from around the region and beyond."
  
  "We have taken our concerns to Kyogle Council in a letter signed by 21
  local landholders as we would like to see more support from our local
  council rather than criticism for something we consider to be a job well
  done under extremely difficult circumstances," he said. 
  THEN the local paper spreads lies and deception in order to placate the failing METGASCO FIASCO.

  Patrick Gorbunovs story in the Northern Star "FARMERS SAY NO"
  http://www.northernstar.com.au/news/farmers-say-enough/1776211/#.UT0CjRJZxpw.email
  

  KYOGLE Shire Mayor Ross Brown has called on Doubtful Creek protesters to move on, following a meeting with frustrated landowners who feel intimidated by elements of the anti-CSG community.
  "They've achieved as much as they can possibly achieve with the protest action so far. All they're now creating is bad feeling," Cr Brown said yesterday.
  Kyogle Council met with residents from some 15 Doubtful Creek properties on Thursday, who say they have been negatively affected by the month-long Knights Rd protest.
  The council will now draft a set of protocols to manage any future protests and avoid these kinds of issues happening again.
  "Our protocols will address such issues as parking, camping, toilet facilities, keeping the road free, and working with the protest groups and keeping the local population as minimally affected by it as we possibly can," Cr Brown said.
  He said some local landowners had reached "the final straw" and had sought help from the council to take more responsibility for the situation.
  "The crux of the matter was on Tuesday night, a gentleman out there was trying to get his cattle to market and they blockaded his gate in and they wouldn't move, and he couldn't get his cattle out," he said.
  "They feel harassed, they feel intimated and it's been going on for so long they almost feel like they're under siege."
  Cr Brown said the situation had reached the point where it was detrimental to people's state of mind.
  "Realistically, if I was involved in a protest now, and being aware of the way it's been going on, I think those groups should pack up and move," he said. "The downside to this is now outweighing whatever it is they think they're picking up."
  Lock the Gate spokesman Ian Gaillard said tensions were rising after almost four weeks of protest.
  Mr Gaillard said he had successful meetings with both Kyogle Council and senior Richmond police two weeks ago to discuss concerns about safety and respect issues at the site.
  But he said the trouble lay with the NSW Government.
  "The Northern Rivers is becoming a pressure cooker because the State Government continues to impose this industry on an unwilling community by force. The onus is on the government to pull back and slow this whole process down."

  My yarn around this issue!  ... All of this is clear.  It is easy  to see what is going on here.  These huge companies will stop at absolutely nothing to try to swindle the unsuspecting Australian who is already too busy to notice the real truth because of a lack of time for self discovery of facts.  These people are still relying on the newspaper or the Television to tell them the truth.  Paint the picture, they get up at the crack of dawn and deal with irrate people all day in their small business, they rush around with young children to and from day care and school and extra curricula activities, attempt shopping and eat and do it all over again the next day, there is no time to find out what is going on in the rest of the country and this is replicated right across the nation.
  Some how, these are the huge group of Australians who missed the bit where these large companies started monopolizing the media outlets across Australia.  They missed this and are still blindly going on what they are being fed as what is known  to us who do understand and the rest of the world over as "Spin".  Company spin is what is being broadcast as news.  It is hard to find a good journalist who prints the truth. 
  
  These types of publications that do speak truth are out there  ie Echonetdaily and Terrania Times etc and various websites where truth can be found around these huge issues.   But, if you are one of those busy people you really have to take some time with this as this is the biggest environmental disaster enveloping the entire nation.
  
  If you are reading this blog and you know some one that fits this bill I have described above, they are usually the most hard working people in the neighbourhood,  go and help them understand the truth.  Take a video or two and a bag of popcorn and a beer even if you have to, but go and help!  
  
  If all of Australia did this we would spread the truth of this Gas matter like wild fire.  We need a national week of educate a friend week.   A week we all dedicate time that week to tell someone and interact with someone who needs some education on Coal Seam Gas Mining and the general state of the lax way in which these licenses have been handed out and the fact that none of us receive a thing for this for five years and by then we will be in a lot of trouble if this is not stopped by the time that five years is up.
  Go and tell a new friend at least this week.  The mother is asking for your help - help her where you can in any small way, the planet knows when you care.
