Very often when we in the alternative media cover events, we speak in the abstract of the horrors against "humanity." It is more rare, however, that we are able to focus on individual human beings and their personal horrors from being subjected to the fallout of non-human institutions like banks, corporations and bureaucratic government institutions.
We are given insight into real human suffering when we hear the stories of those who wind up beaten and tortured at the hands of a police state war culture gone wild; those who fall victim to a Ponzi-scheme economy; those suffering with vaccine injuries, and other harsh realities. Perhaps worst of all are those who are deemed to be nothing more than a cost of doing business, as we saw with the BP Gulf Oil Disaster. It is then that health, wealth, and even hope fall prey simultaneously.
Fracking is one such environmental evil that is falling hard upon select communities in places across America. The following video is powerful in that it is not a technical overview of what fracking is, not an analysis of the damage it potentially causes, nor is it political. It is simply a few human stories of people who desperately want their voices heard, and are having it fall on deaf ears among those whose duty it is to protect them.
This film is shared courtesy of Nature Abounds' friend, Rich Waters, a local photographer and videographer who is documenting how fracking is changing the lives of his neighbors in Southwest Pennsylvania.
It is activism at its most poignant.
The following links provide a solid background for those who might be unfamiliar with the fracking process and the myriad issues being raised by independent researchers.

Dear "NObodys", We the rulers of the Universe don't give a flying crap what you little people are going through. We own you. We own your land. We own your lives and ultimately, we own your DEATH. We want YOU dead. We don't care how, just die. You are breathing our air, drinking our water, and eating our food. This planet was made for us, not you. We are banking on you ALL getting sick. We will get what we want at all cost. We are in control and there is nothing you can do about it.
Truly a sad state of affairs. These poor people. Excellent video, great job. People also should check out the movie Gasland.
You will burn in hell asshole!
There are problems in some places. ALERT>>>there is a fracking company out of Canada. These folks use NO_WATER in the fracking process. Look up Gasfrack. The amazing thing, they use propane and it is recovered with the gas. Best part...NO WATER USED OR CONTAMINATED!
To the people who are living this nightmare:
Do not pay another dime on a note for your house or land. Pack up, move out, file for bankruptcy and leave the banks to deal with the corporate whores poisoning the groundwater.
As a Katrina victim, I lost it all. Starting over isn't easy, but it can be done.
