JOIN THE REBELLION – BALCOMBE NEEDS YOU

Rebellion is in full swing in a sleepy lay-by, outside the privately owned Caudrilla fracking site, deep in the heart of rural West Sussex.

A ‘Free Frack Off’ bus will be running every day this week from Brighton to the community blockade at Balcombe. 7am from Old Steine (near RBS). Please come and support the community if you can, or even better stay overnight at the camp.

Cuadrilla who?

Cuadrilla, a shale extraction company has started exploratory drilling, but doesn’t expect to actually commence hydraulic fracturing, until they have a clearer idea if there is enough oil to extract without needing to frack it out.

On Thursday 25th July, a whooping 250 rebels stopped 15 trucks bringing in equipment to the Cuadrilla drilling site.

Friday 26th July, solved the mystery of why Police emergency calls are going unanswered and why response times in Sussex have increased by almost a third in three years.

With 100 police officers acting as private contractors of the privately owned Cuadrilla, day two of the Balcombe rebellion saw the blockade broken and trucks escorted onto site.

Sussex Police turn to torture

Shocking pictures and video has been released showing Sussex Police officers using torture techniques to break up rebels stopping fracking trucks into the Cuadrilla site.

As these pictures show: Police officers are pinching the ears of protesters to inflict maximum torture and break them up.

Is this really the best use of a police officer's time?

On Saturday the rebellion continued and on Sunday the rebellion won, after Cuadrilla dropped any further attempts of getting their trucks in.

As Francis Egan, chief executive of fracking firm Cuadrilla, said to an Argus reporter

“We have a legal right to be here doing what we’re doing and we are sticking to the rules.”

Conflict of interest

Revealed by the Independent newspaper in the Sunday edition of 14th July 2013:

‘Fracking industry bosses at heart of coalition.’

The former BP boss Lord Browne, Centrica chief executive Sam Laidlaw and BG Group director Baroness Hogg have all used their inside influence, while holding senior advisory roles at a time when the Government is heavily promoting fracking.

It is no wonder they have a legal right to do what they are doing because senior figures from that shale extraction industry sit in the heart of Government.

Mr Osborne said: "I want Britain to be a leader of the shale gas revolution,” by offering a staggering 50% tax break for fracking firms.

Mr Osborne is either completely oblivious to the dangers of fracking or fully aware and a major player in the conspiracy to wipe out the Earth’s human population to half a billion. The latter is evidently true when learning George Osborne's father-in-law, Lord Howell, is also president of the British Institute of Economics, whose backers include BP and BG Group.

Fracking is frigging nightmare!

Make no mistakes, fracking is a frigging nightmare. Do not believe the propaganda of George Osborne. The evidence from the USA and Australia is as crystal clear as glacier water. Fracking poisons water, causes earthquakes and takes us ever closer to dangerous and irreversible climate change. It causes toxic and radioactive water pollution and sets tap water on fire.

Guerrilla Democracy salutes the brave rebels at Balcombe for protecting the UK (and the world) from the threat of fracking.
