"IF WE DO NOTHING...

...IT'LL ALL BE GONE"

Meet Ta'Kaiya Blaney

Shallow waters I can’t see

Your clear waves lapping at my feet

The lifeless ocean, black not blue

I didn’t help, but deep down I knew

Shallow waters I used to see

Dolphins playing in front of me

The seaweed swaying keeping time

Tidal rhythms, laugh not cry

Oh-oh, Oh-oh

Why do tears fall from the sky

Oh-oh, Oh-oh

We giving up, please tell me why?

Remember the salty ocean breeze

Used to build castles on the beach

Mushing around in the summer heat

Now it’s just oil up to our knees

Bring back the days we used to care

When all of these troubles were not there

A cry for help, this is my song

If we do nothing, it’ll all be gone

In shallow waters I can’t see

The wondrous life God created to be

The tankers and pipelines keep coming through

I turned my head and so did you

Come with me to the emerald sea

Where black gold spills into my ocean dream
Nothing ever found, no life is around
It’s just the sound of morning in the air
Silence everywhere

TAR SANDS ACTION - DAYS 2&3

"52 more protesters were just reported arrested at the ongoing civil disobedience outside of the White House, bringing the tally to 162 arrested over three days. A diverse group of activists are gathered there to protest the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that would inextricably hook the U.S. up to the dirtiest fuel source on the planet: Canada's tar sands.

If the U.S. government approves the pipeline, preeminent climatologist James Hansen says that it will be "game over" for the global climate."

"The Park Police decided to hold 50 protesters from Saturday's civil disobedience against the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline until Monday. They said this was to "deter future participants" in the protests, possibly at the request of the White House according to Ted Glick. The deterrent failed: 52 more protesters were arrested Monday, the third day of the protests, and this will continue as planned all the way to September 3!"

"I'm a little tired and a lot hungry..

but more than that...

I'm happy as can be"

"I'm really sick of our government being run by oil companies and banks

I would like to see one politician stand up in the face of all the campaign money... and say i'm going to do what's right

I'm counting on Obama to stand up finally and do the right thing

I worked for months to get that man elected...it's time for him to do what he said he was going to do"

Margot Kidder

"I knew that land before that big bowl was there"

There has been no US MSM coverage so far.

Hmm...maybe when Mark Ruffalo is arrested.

"People will be held till Monday in effort to deter more protests. The Police do not want the civil disobedience to continue

when the new memorial is dedicated

to civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr."

DREAM OF LIFE

PEAK FRACKING & HAPPY TALK

"It seemed like a magical thing"

James Howard Kunstler talks about the shale gas scam

on the Keiser Report



"The story has been going around for the past year that there's a hundred years of shale gas out there."

"After the initial production the flows fell off very dramatically."

"They front loaded the shale gas plays with high expectations."

"They played upon the american public's wish that we would have endless energy."

"It's a dodge; just another thing that allows americans to not pay attention to the changes we have to make in the way we live."
