A Statement from North Wales Police.

North Wales Police pulls officers out of Lancashire fracking site

“No more NW Police officers will be going to facilitate Cuadrilla’s business in Lancs.

Let them pay for their own security.”So by the end of the week they will be gone.

National Trust faces legal threat over fracking snub.

Nottinghamshire.

A petrochemical company is threatening legal action over the National Trust's refusal to allow testing for shale gas on its land.

Ineos wants to conduct seismic surveys at Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire to see if there is potential for fracking.

The firm said the charity had blocked any contact for almost a year and it was considering seeking a court order.

The Water Protector Camps .

A few years ago, the fracking industry started casting a shadow on Great Britain; as a result, a patchwork of anarchist groups has risen from the outskirts of society to protect the land and water. In Northwest England, they are organising in an effort to prevent the installation of the first commercial fracking operation of the country in Preston New Road, Blackpool. Caught between the violence of security workers and police repression, the anti-fracking protestors are struggling to maintain a pacifist philosophy eroded by daily protests and confrontations.

‘False information, unverified sources’: Russia denies funding anti-fracking campaign in US

On Monday, the US media reported that the Trump administration plans to entirely repeal fracking regulations adopted during Barack Obama’s term, with a proposal to be published Tuesday.

Administration officials said that the restrictions for fracking on federal land were duplicating, and likely to incur additional costs for shale oil and gas producers.

Also check that Matrix Police Van out.Guards on the headlights.Good heavens.

Huge convoy stopped and there will be hundreds more travelling this way soon.

And if allowed to carry on throughout Great Britain to your areas.

Your Towns,Villages through your small country roads.Spreading dust,pollution and all the rest of the mess.

And what will you receive in return.

Well maybe a local football team sponsored,a new piece of felt on the village hall.They will try to win you over,maybe even a visit to the local school.

Commissioner accused of 'cronyism' as his force stops policing fracking protests

North Wales’ Arfon Jones, a former anti-fracking activist, had queried why his force was helping Lancashire police

“Why should officers from North Wales be sent to police and facilitate an activity where the activity is more or less unlawful in their own country?

I suppose many are wondering how this Protest will end.

If the will is there this could go on for days.

The Lorry Surfers will come down,you would think later on today.

The sit in,how will this end.Well time will tell.

But there will be hundreds more truck movements in the next few weeks.

And of course at Marriotts or a Doppelganger lurking somewhere in Europe the Main Drilling Platform has yet to arrive.

I will find the latest on what is happening at PR Marriotts as soon as possible.

Also take a much harder look at the water problems in the area.

Something does not seem quite right.In the next few days.Many videos and Gayzor Frackman has been looking hard at things connected to water in the Blackpool and surrounding area.

Keep up the good work Tawny

Hope you dont mind a little drift sideways

 

I realise that many think that there is little to worry about as most of the projections warn about what might happen by the end of this century - over 80 years away

Surely science will sort it by then, or who cares its 80 years away - loads of time

 

Well, aside from the plastics which are in all our food chains and ourselves from dumping in the seas and ground fill and that IS poisoning us,

and the reversing of the air quality gains that brought us from green pea souper fogs and bronchial epidemics and threatening to take us back to those days,

 

I'm going to say that I am certain we are in for a severe shock, within a decade - just 10 years.

 

The last solar maximum (where in the suns approx 11 year cycle it throws out the most energy) was 2014/2015 - that was the hottest year on record by all the differing accepted measurements.

And the hottest year on record since the last great migrations and climatic change of 130,000 years ago

 

The problem is that blocks of peak heats throughout the years following, including this year, have continued to increase, with summer month averages continuing to increase and quite significantly, generating exceptional droughts, torrents and storms and extremes of weather caused by the increased energy in the atmosphere

 

The BIIIGG catch is that the oceans and land are showing distinct signs of being unable to absorb as much of this heat and carbon relative to the amounts there are in the atmosphere compared to previous years.

 

So we may be looking at continued accelerating increases, with perhaps just a small lull with some bursts of extreme cold weather at the solar minimum right up to the next solar maximum in

2025ish.

 

 

This doesnt mean sunnier weather. It means more 'weather' storms, clouds, torrential downpours - extremes of weather with a grey cloudy windy muggy weather in between, interspersed with bouts of heat that harm us Northern tribespeople.

 

Spain and the middle east will experience growing extremes of extended droughts and brief torrential downpours with failed crops and dried aquifers.

 

The ice sheets ARE melting at accelerated rates and affecting the gulf stream which made our winters and summers milder. Great some might say - less energy then - - except for the fact the whole Atlantic is now an increased energy system.

 

I truly believe we are right on the cusp NOW not in a hundred years, and dirty shale and fracked oil and gas to fill the pockets of a handful is the very LAST thing we need.

[Tawnyowl]

Thanks for the interesting post tobyjugg2.

Glad that someone takes the time to post about Climate Change that some say is not happening.

So much of my time is taken keeping my 3 eyes on the protectors and reading things connected.

Watching things on the Road To Hell and posting the links as things happen.

 

You drift sideways any time you like.I enjoy taking it all in without having to search,put your thoughts,ideas,articles on anytime you like.

 

Latest 19-30 Tuesday.The Protest continues.

The links to feeds if you are interested anyone,names just check them anytime,Lion,Tina Rothery and the others on this and other pages

you can always find out the latest.Any day any time.

 

Anyway i went out for a little while collecting Driftwood today.

Been an oil spill out at sea.Company was found had to clean it all up.

But as i root about under seaweed etc looking for things my trainers were contaminated,just a little but makes you think.

What is happening to nature around the world,under the sea.

You cannot hear nature scream but you see the damage being done.

As dawn arrived and the Dawn Chorus sang earlier the 3 protectors on top of the trucks slept.

On top of the cabs of the trucks.8 Trucks are in the convoy.

Can you imagine what that is like.

24 hours on top of a truck.

Latest radar shows wind and rain moving in.Maybe a hour away.Conditions for the lorry surfers look like they will deteriorate soon..

But 24 hours is one hell of an achievement.

There is a high access police protector removal squad based down South i think.

But perhaps not available or they think this would not last as long as it has.

How can it.

This is an audio recording of North East Derbyshire MP Lee Rowley discussing fracking at his open Q&A at Tupton Village Hall on 24/07/2017.

 

Lee states that although he opposes fracking, he "would not vote to ban fracking" if a vote came to parliament.

 

He also states that protesters outside P R Marriotts in Danesmoor "should go home".

You wonder why you see so many mothers,grandparents down there.Well they are fierce when their young are threatened.

Full of admiration for them.I cannot find the words that explain,you have to see it to see these ladies,their eyes,emotions.You just know they are right.

They see the dangers.you hear them say it when i go down there and when the rest of the communities do across Great Britain the Frackers will be finished.

But it seems like someone had asked earlier if a crane that was held round the area was going to the Fracking Site.

The answer came back no but later the Crane with escort shot into the Fracking Site.

 

So a second lock on has taken place.So now we have a 8 lorry convoy held by lorry surfers further down the road and this lock on.

Resistance grows.

Important News and a huge Win!!!

 

Just spoke Nick in the office of Bryn Thomas crane company. They were sub contracted by another crane company, who hired the crane. They did not know what the job was before getting to the Cuadrilla site.

They are leaving and the company that hired them will be having to get their own crane to come there.

Nick also shared with me that they have people in their own office who were involved as activists on a local issue 2 years back.

 

Many others are seeing similar messages and replies.So today or tomorrow the Crane will be gone.

 

Latest at Preston New Road.

Lorry Surfers continue their protest.

And news on the Crane that arrived and the hope now that the truck company in the convoy will also pull out.

Think things are just about up to date for now.

 

Anything happens and i see it updates will arrive.

Latest News Cuadrilla Fracking Site.

1 Lorry Surfer comes down.A magnificent protest against the Frackers who are forcing Fracking on Lancashire with the Government who are elected to represent the people backing them.

Behind that are the donations to those in power.By the Companies and their backers and those other interested parties.

Behind that the PR Companies the Lobby Groups being paid plentiful to smooth the path.

And then there is Cuadrilla Frackings Private army,the Police who make sure what the Government in power want is made to happen.

 

Then there is only the community,mothers,fathers,grandparents,saying no.

Lancashire said no Democratically,meetings were held many times where anyone could put their view across.

No we do not want Fracking here.

But their decision was overruled.

 

How does that make you feel feel.Some may well be saying it makes me feel wonderful,bring on Fracking.

Others find things hard to believe and find it hard to say in words what they feel.

Many must feel they never thought they would see the day a Government would act this way.

 

The Subprimers,The Banking Crisis,The Payday Loan Companies the predators.

Took advantage of the people of Great Britain and other countries,took the money out of the local communities and the money did not return.Although they promised the Earth,try to make friends locally.

Snakes in the Grass.Forked Tongues.

 

Wrecked the economy.The Donations the connections to the powerful ones are all there to see.Now.

And were then.Nothing has changed

I remember Detroit way back 2008 the poorest area i have ever seen.

A Sub Primer renting a mission out in the area for the day.Offering the minister a payment for every loan taken out.

To people who had nothing.Knowing the end game for them but did not care.

 

Now there is not much left from Citizens to take so time to start making the Earth pay.

Something has to pay for the debt they made.

Well it may well kick back. Balace, nature may well do.

 

All the truck movements,the mess,the pollution.Coming possibly to a place near you.

And across the world.It does not matter where,rain-forest, next to your house.Their greed knows no bounds.

They are not bothered about your families health their plan has been made and they will try to force it through.

The only thing that has stopped things before is when enough people rose up and said no.

 

Oh well just a few memories.

Back to now.

4 am i believe the police kettled the protectors near the Fracking Site,the section 6 land.Their home if you like.

And facilitated 17 or so trucks into the Fracking Site.

Heavily escorted by Cuadrilla Private Army,the Police paid for by the Tax payer they entered Site.

Up by the lorry surfers i believe more senior officers have arrived.

Looks like things may change shortly.

Those Lorry Surfers must be shattered.Nearlyl 48 hours now on top of trucks.

 

I do not know what may happen today but things seem to be building.

Finally, after two years of research, I have now produced the final detailed version – The Frackogram 2015 – an infographic which depicts the highly questionable relationships between policy-makers in Government, the industry developing fracking, and the finance and PR industries supporting them.

Throughout the drilling process extensive daily deliveries and removals are required, providing essential bulk inputs (cement etc) and removing drilling debris from the site. Drill sites typically also require 24-hour security personnel.

40% down since we arrived on 5th January 2017

... suddenly this morning we here on news that "Rig to drill 'PILOT WELL' has arrived" - yet actual drill for actual fracturing of shale is still at PR Marriott Chesterfield?

Truth or PR exercise to appease investors? Worth waiting till all our research on this is in before concluding things just yet. Meanwhile... today's 2-car lock on:lock1: at gates is holding back any further deliveries.

Essentially then... more equipment was smuggled in outside permitted times, facilitated by Lancashire County Council. Nothing changes for our side... we will still do what we've done for more than six years. There is no fracking in the UK because of our actions, is at least one fact we are clear about x

 

Anyone got a bandage,i hit my head on the wall a little to hard.

Updates soon from the Frontline.

Hearing that the company misled into supplying the crane has come to collect.

No way are you using my crane to assist in Fracking.

May have a little wait as there are a couple of cars blockading the site.

But should be back home for supper.Lesson learnt.Perhaps take notice other suppliers.

Well it is best to let them know resistance is building.

I do not want them to lose time and money.That would be terrible.

How did they manage before becoming a Filthy Fracking Supplier.

 

Wow seen an invoice.

The chap who took,no demolished the PNR tower,Marquis the name i think.

1,000 Pound bill given to the Police.How does that work.

The police pay someone to demolish a tower.Nope i do not understand that at the moment.

 

I enjoyed filming the tower and the residents who lived there.

Then the police invaded their land.

I will never forget them asking the police to get out of their garden.

I have it on film as well.Get off my grass you trespasses.
