The 11th Hour Connection: The Dark Side of Fractivism

An Energy In Depth expose reveals the 11th Hour connection; how special interests on the dark side manipulate things behind the scene to get their way.

My friend Steve Everley over at Energy In Depth has written another of his classic expose pieces where he dissects and explains how fractivism works. This time it’s about a report written five years ago that lays the strategy subsequently employed by the usual suspects (Heinz Endowments, Park Foundation, William Penn Foundation, et al) to attack fracking on health grounds using spurious means. Entitled “Anti-Fracking Donor Memo Mapped Out Strategy To Attack Oil And Gas With Questionable Health Claims,” Steve’s piece and the report it analyzes are items every serious examiner of the fracking debate need to read and read more than once. I highly recommend both and, of course, have a few additional observations.

The report is authored by Seth Berrin Shonkoff of Berkeley, California (see video below), who also happens to be Tony Ingraffee’s pick to run the sham junk science outfit known as Physicians, Scientists and Engineers for Healthy Energy (PSE) that the Park Foundation helped set up to push out Bob Howarth’s widely panned methane studies. Steve’s articles pulls out the most damning aspects of the report, noting how it laid out every aspect of a strategy to transform the fracking miracle into a health issue by using big money from wealthy donors, together with the innocent faces of exploited little children, to sell their intolerant message.
