RT
October 19, 2013
Global Frackdown Day is on – Saturday marks a worldwide protest, uniting all activists who want to put an end to shale gas extraction. ‘Fracktivists’, as they’re called, are urging their governments to stand up to the oil and gas lobby. However, in Britain the authorities see things very differently… Prime Minister has become a vigorous advocate of the risky technique, as Laura Smith reports. So why exactly are environmentalists so concerned about this particular form of oil and gas extraction? For more on this RT is joined by Vanessa Vine – she’s an anti-fracking campaigner for Britain and Ireland Frack Free group

MONCTON, NB – Mounties say Native protesters at a shale gas exploration site in New Brunswick were armed to the teeth.
RCMP displayed a table full of guns, homemade explosives, knives and bear spray at a news conference in Fredericton.
Natives have been decrying what they considered heavy-handed police actions after 40 protesters were arrested at a highway blockade near Rexton on Thursday.
“Peaceful protests don’t require a large police presence,” RCMP Commanding Officer Roger Brown told media Friday. “When you get into a protest that has this type of criminal behaviour and criminal element, it requires a much different police response.”

He said police only made arrests after six cruisers were set on fire.
Nobody was seriously hurt, police said.
Some anti-fracking protesters facing charges ranging from mischief to uttering threats were expected to be held in jail over the weekend.
Protesters complained police fired at them with beanbags and pepper spray first. Mounties said shots were fired and Molotov cocktails thrown from the protesters’ side.
Some protesters on social media blamed the police for setting fire to their own cars and sending in informants.
Brown would not comment on the accusations, but said: “If I read and believed everything on the Internet, I wouldn’t sleep. And I didn’t sleep much as it is.”
Mounties were trying to enforce an Oct. 3 court injunction at the blockade, where SWN Resources Canada is testing for shale gas.
Elsipogtog Mi’kmaq First Nation members had been blocking workers’ access to their trucks.
Outside the courthouse Thursday, protesters wearing camouflage and military boots waved tribal and Acadian flags and vowed to not quit.
“We are the boots on the ground to emancipate people,” Suzanne Patles, who identified herself a lieutenant in the “warriors society,” told reporters. “We are above it all because we are a nation. Canada is a corporation.”

Support protests were being organized from coast to coast, including a blockade of the Trans-Canada Highway near the Quebec border. In Montreal, 15 protesters from the nearby Kahnawake Mohawk reserve partially blocked access to the Mercier Bridge on Friday morning. It’s the same bridge that Mohawks shut down in the summer of 1990 during the Oka crisis.

VIDEO — Nuclear Danger: World Action Now on Fukushima
Global Research TV
October 9, 2013
Journalist, author, activist and historian Harvey Wasserman has been reporting on, and participating in, the nuclear free movement for decades. In that time, by his judgment, only one other event matches the danger to the world posed by the Cuban Missile Crisis. That event is the ongoing nuclear disaster at Fukushima.
Haven’t heard about it in the corporate media? That’s because the deadly and dying global nuclear industry and its allies don’t want you to know.
That’s why he has organized a petition drive to the UN advocating international expert oversight of, and participation in, management of the Fukushima crisis.
In this interview, he explains why we must all be involved in this world-historical challenge to human and planetary survival.

VIDEO — Patrick Henningsen on RT: US Debt Ceiling Deal is Simply More Debt
21stCenturyWire
October 17, 2013
21st Century Wire’s Patrick Henningsen speaks with RT news minutes after the “historic” federal debt ceiling deal. As 21WIRE mentioned last week at the height of the government shutdown, the US government was never going to default on its mountain of mega debt. Like a career heroin addict, Washington will continue to fund its appetite for lines of credit from its banking masters.
