Anti-Science Obama Admin. Ignores Health, Safety, Environment & its Own Findings to Push Fracking Fraud for Big Oil — by NormanB (“Deviations from the Norm”)
Contradicting a team of scientists hand picked by his own Energy Secretary Steven Chu, President Obama’s Administration filed a lawsuit to force New York City to allow fracking in its water supply.
Here are the conclusions of Secretary Chu’s task force:

Here’s the story on the President’s attempt to subvert that science:

President Pinocchio strikes again.
Since this Administration’s fracking lie was told specifically to help the Oil companies injure Americans for profit while damaging our economy and environment, does the act constitute waging war against the US, making it Treason?

thanks. another miserable episode.
As far as I know, the only country to bestow de facto person-hood and the rights therein, has been Bolivia; supremely cool, indeed. So no treason in killing American land, water, air…

Not to be thick; I swear I read the links, but it’s unclear which agency (or the DoJ istelf?) is seeking to have the NY suit dismissed.
Do you know?
Have to say that Sperling hadn’t been in this administration for more than a minute before he was too freaking coy with his double-speak about fracking. At least now I know I was 100% correct in my read of it.

Loads of links; I added to the diary once it was dead just so I could share it with some folks around here who…care…
President Business love announced last month that part of his Secret Plan to create jobs was…wait for it…to end some of those pesky, irrelevant regs that were such job-killers. Such Republican rhetoric the man espouses now, with few noticing.
We are soooo screwed.
Such a shocking decision from a soulless traitor.
