Hand written letters to MPs needed!  Info at http://www.gasfieldfreebyronshire.org/news/bentley/update-from-camp-meetings-20414/  and whilst there have a look at Notes from Bentley 17.4.14 for news from the frontline.  Politicians view one hand written letter as representative of 100 voters.

;

;
These audios by Param give a feeling of being there: http://www.gasfieldfreebyronshire.org/news/bentley/greet-the-dawn-14414-audios/   The Luke Vasella “Let’s Walk Gently” with on-site protectors is goose bumping.

***********

;
From Dr Wayne Somerville:  “The Bentley Protectors could soon confront a massive police operation. Abandoning reason and decency, the NSW Government appears locked into a high risk “shock and awe” strategy. They hope that riot police can end our community’s resistance to gas field industrialisation. But Minister Roberts  “courageous” policy of “mining by martial law” can only succeed if we allow it to - and why would we do that?”

;
And a Guide to Metgasco’s Propaganda: A Resource for Anti-CSG Groups is fascinating reading.

;

;
 

;

;
First para from the Conclusion:  If realised, Metgasco’s proposed coal seam gas industrialisation of the Northern Rivers would be the most profound change to this region’s environment since the 1840s clearing of the Big Scrub, and the most socially and psychologically damaging event since the Vietnam War. 

;

;
 

;

;
Final para:  Metgasco could back up its stated policy of being truthful and considerate in its dealings with the community by instituting comprehensive, independently conducted, pre-and post-drilling testing of aquifers, soil, air, and the physical and emotional health of people who would be affected by their operations.

QUOTES:  “It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise.”

Joseph Goebbels

“Think of the press as a great keyboard
;
on which the government can play.”
