Look out New Mexico, here come da mouse!
The Obama administration’s crackdown on Western land use has sparked a furor over the Forest Service’s decision to fence off a creek used by thirsty cattle in drought-stricken Otero County, New Mexico.
…“The Forest Service is coming in and saying, ‘We’re in charge of the water and the water is part of the forest,’” said Sheriff House. “It’s a control issue, and they’re trying to push the rancher out. They’re using every excuse in the book. One area is a riparian area. One area is critical habitat. One area might be for endangered species.”

Seriously? That’s the best they could come up with? A mouse? And it took a real stretch to do that since it is considered “of least concern” according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. But that can change with the stroke of a pen.
Let’s see, so far the feds have used a tortoise in Nevada to steal a rancher’s cattle in an attempt to divest him of his vested water rights, and a sucker fish in Oregon to steal water from farmers and ranchers.
Yup, it appears to be working. Agenda 21 here we come, riding on a whole slew of endangered species that evidently, need their own space void of cattle, people, and common sense.
But one thing for sure, you can bet your sweet bippy that Mousezilla would be a goner if found sniffing around a BP fracking site. No water for you! After all, there are limits, and water was made for fracking. If there is any left over, well, first comes the mouse, the sucker, and the tortoise. People and livestock might get some to drink after Nestle has bottled it, courtesy of the Federal Corporate Government.

The effects of fracking: http://stateimpact.npr.org/pen...../fracking/. This is an unbiased account of the effects of fracking. Here is an article regarding the history of fracking:
How Long Has Hydrofracking Been Practiced?
Hydraulic Fracturing is not a new process. The concept dates as far back as the 1860s when nitroglycerin was used to enhance production from hard rock oil wells in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and other Appalachian states. A book published by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1910 cites use of the technique in 1903 by mining companies.
Hydrofracking was first used by the natural gas industry in 1947, when the Stanolind Oil and Gas Corporation experimented with the technique in the Hugoton field in Kansas. The following year, the Haliburton Oil Well Cementing Company received a patent for the “hydrafrac” process which they first used in March 1949 on wells in Texas and Oklahoma2.
Since that time, the use of hydrofracking has increased dramatically. Today, thousands of natural gas wells use hydrofracking technology. The United States Energy Information Administration estimated that in 2009, shale gas made up 14% of the total U.S. natural gas supply and was expected to increase to 45% by 2035.3
The technology of hydrofracturing has also increased in complexity. Early wells were only a few hundred feet deep. Applications of the fracking technique consisted of using gelled crude oil and kerosene as the fluid injected into wells to force the fracturing. Screened river sand became popularly used as the “proppant,” or material used to hold open the fractures. Quantities of the materials used were small, consisting of approximately 750 gallons of fluid and 400 pounds of proppant.
In comparison, today, Chesapeake Energy, a company active in the Marcellus Shale, reports that an average well is now 5,300 feet deep4. Drilling a typical well now uses between 65,000 and 600,000 gallons of water, and the ensuing fracking operation requires an average of 4.5 million gallons of fluids and hundreds of thousands of pounds of sand.

Facts:
1. Horizontal drilling has not been around for 100 years, it is a relatively new process.
2. The chemicals have gotten increasingly more toxic, and the wells deeper.
3. Disposal of contaminated fluids is a huge problem, and they can and do contaminate water and soil.
4. The industry has an exemption from the Safe Drinking Water Act, and does not have to disclose the chemicals used.
5. Huge amounts of water are used and contaminated for each well drilled.
Yes, fracking is a problem.
Barbara,
I agree with you on a lot of things but fracking has been around since just after the Civil War and is really not a problem. (Thats correct over 100 years.)
Controlling energy, especially making fuel and electric prices skyrocket is another way to force people of their land and into the Agenda 21 trnsit villiges with their 14 ft X 14 ft ‘Sustainable Apartments’
If you want to know where all the CAGW crap traces back to it is Shell Oil, BP, Enron and the Banksters (World Bank) Shell Oil, BP and the rockefellers orginally funded the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia of Climategate fame. WIKI
In the USA Enron, joined by BP, invented the global warming industry. I know because I was in the room. This was during my storied three-week or so stint as Director of Federal Government Relations for Enron in the spring of 1997, back when Enron was everyone’s darling in Washington.
This is why Deniers laugh their heads off whenever someone says they are “Funded by Big Oil” – big oil is really funding the Climate Alarmism industry!
Shell Oil and BP wants to push natural gas (and renewables). Ged Davis, the Shell Oil VP who is an IPCC lead author and wrote the Sustainability Scenarios for the IPCC shows this in the “Sustainable Development (B1)” part of the February, 1998 Climategate e-mail.
To quote from the Sustainable Development (B1) section (aka Agenda 21):
No wonder Shell Oil (and BP) have been pushing global warming since day one when they provided the initial funding for the Climate Research Unit of East Anglia. It will be a real money maker. Tear out the old infrastructure and replace with natural gas, Solar and Wind. A new twist on ‘the broken window fallacy’ where the entire country has to shell out to pay for replacing the ‘window’ the energy sector is so busy breaking.
If you bother to look there are lots of connections:
David Hone is not only SHELL OIL’S Senior Climate Change Adviser he is also Chairman of the International Emissions Trading Association.
Besides lobbying the UK Parliament to strangle Shale Gas by insisting that CCS be deployed – in which venture he’s succeeded- he and his mentor James Smith. SHELL OIL’S previous UK Chairman took SHELL very deeply into Carbon Trading.
Royal Dutch Shell:
The Dutch royal family (The House of Orange) is still reportedly the biggest shareholder in the Dutch part of the group, although the size of its stake has long been a source of debate. The Queen of England is also a major stockholder. link and Scuttlebutt and more Scuttlebutt.
Prince Bernhard of the Dutch Royal Family is the Founding President of World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
Then we look at the Shell Board of Directors.
Rather well connected to governments, NGOs and various banks are they not?
Barbara, you put better than I have ever seen: “But one thing for sure, you can bet your sweet bippy that Mousezilla would be a goner if found sniffing around a BP fracking site. No water for you! After all, there are limits, and water was made for fracking…”
But most folks don’t seem to notice, as long as there is football or American Idol.
Thank you for all you do to wake us up!
Barb,
Just sent you something on that mouse in your mail. Nice to see county commissioners and the sheriff finally do there jobs!

@ Clayton,
About 40+ years ago I had this poster of two buzzards sitting on top of a cactus. The one looks at the other and says,
“Patience my ass! I’m ready to kill something”.
For those that don’t get it, buzzards eat carrion (dead or decaying meat).
Beware of the wrath of a patient man.
Ty, Karin ;)
Barb,
Just a quick Thank You for all your work and bringing awareness on so many relevant things.. which we should ALL be concerned about ! Have not commented in a good while just so you know I’m still “in your corner” and I know few have time to say thank you these days, even myself at times.
I try to get over and read as often as possible and I tweet also as so many others need this info. Your subscription emails keep me abreast and help so much.
My best, and you are an inspiration gal !
Karin
