Oh, Frack! (EXCLUSIVE)



Via a source in the Canadian energy industry;

... at least four crude IEDs have been discovered at Pennsylvania gas wells near the Susquehanna River. Anti-fracking groups are suspected.

I can't provide a weblink for this so keep an eye out for stories as they emerge.


Meanwhile, search "The Anti-Fracking Pledge of Resistance" and "Earth First!" for a backgrounder on this movement.
​

Emphasis mine.

Did they finally run the Ludwig cult out of the Peace Region?

It's probably nothing...

Erie, Illinois pipeline explosion send flames in air

ERIE, Ill. (CBS) -- A fuel pipeline traveling underneath a western Illinois cornfield exploded, sending flames 300 feet into the sky and prompting dozens of evacuations.


Erie Assistant Fire Chief Scott Melton says the massive fire was reported around 11:15 p.m. Monday after residents heard a blast.

The towering flames could be seen for 20 miles, Melton told CBS News.


The pipeline was carrying a mixture of ethane and propane.

Just a matter of time before one of these yahoos blows themselves to tiny bits.

Anti-fracking groups are using underground explosions to destroy water supplies? I don't think they've thought this through.

 

[petros]

Who funds the anti-fracking groups? Oil?

In the Peace Region, ranging from Grande Prairie Alberta to Dawson Creek BC, they tried blowing up everything from well heads, to nitrogen trucks, to pipelines running alongside a populated town. Terrorism isn't usually 'well thought out'.

Neither is protesting. You never know who or what you are protesting for rather than against.

And if they somehow manage to miraculously avoid that, the RCMP'll do the job.

In Pennsylvania and Illinois? Kind of overstepping are we? lol.

In case you ain't noticed, "Overstep Le Droit" appears to be the new motto of the Mounties.

American cops never do that sort of thing.

That's what we've got private security for.

The radio informs me that today is the tenth anniversary of the Really Really Great Big Blackout, and interestingly enough I also stumbled across this old email response from CNN to my assertion that the breadth and scope of that blackout was indirectly, due to elapsed time, a result of home grown terrorism. ... and I guess... somewhat pertinent to the thread?

Of course all I got was some 'form reply':

Will Bush take a stand on insisting Canada deal more effectively with its own 'terrorists' to ensure reliable power supply to everyone?

That was a real nice form letter. I hear these days they say:

Dear Moron,

You're a moron, and your opinion would shame a dull six-year-old.

Piss off.

 

[55Mercury]

lol

and I thought the yankee media would hop right on it!

another illusion shattered.

I knew the canadian media would be too chicken**** to act on it.

Duhbama farted?

Yep. Freaks are freaks. Reason ain't a common trait.

Neither is protesting. You never know who or what you are protesting for rather than against.

I'm protesting an anti-beer group. Also an anti-Cheezie group.

 

[55Mercury]

I suppose the act of blowing up transmission towers is more sabotage than terrorism, but it's rather an implied threat of terrorism, that "if you keep building it, we'll keep blowing it up" kind of terrorism. Just as reprehensible, I think.

Back when I was stationed in West Berlin, we had a common response to the various demonstrations:

"The Germans are demonstrating again."

"Oh? What are they protesting?"

"Their inability to win a war."

Judging by the state of the economies I would say that Germany, like Japan won the war. All they lost was a few battles.

There are many who have made the same observation, but since they're looking for a discussion rather than a fight, they generally say Germany and Japan "won the peace."
