They’re Running TV Spots For Matt Damon’s Anti-Fracking Movie Now…
The Hayride ^ | 18 Dec 12 | MacAoidh

…it opens next month.

It’s a propaganda film, and it’s pure BS. There is no evidence that hydraulic fracturing causes farmland to become unproductive the way it’s depicted in Promised Land. We’ve been fracking for 60 years in this country and if fracking destroyed farmland we would know about it.

We don’t know that.

But what we do know is that the financing of Damon’s anti-fracking propaganda film comes from the United Arab Emirates. As in, an Arab OPEC nation. Whose interests are significantly damaged by the kind of full-scale domestic U.S. oil and gas production fracking holds the key to.

Meaning Matt Damon has worked with foreign interests to make a movie which is not based in fact and would have the intended effect of turning American public opinion away from something which is in our national economic and security interests, and by doing so he is serving the interests of his foreign pals at the expense of his countrymen.

Damon is the the normal guy working for an evil oil company. Krasinski is a down-home farmer who shows him the error of his ways.

Damon is a hard-core lefty who would NEVER portray an oil company in a positive light. Krasinski also appears to be a tree-hugger. The UAE money is just the icing on the propaganda cake.

It’s designed to scare women just like gun control.

Scare enough women and they will vote for democrats to control “dangerous” guns and gain their protection.

Scare enough women about fracking and they will not ask questions, they will immediately go to the democrats and seek protection and promise their vote.

Folks, we are in dangerous “waters” in relation to our rights under the Constitution. Something is going to give and when it does, it will go down in history.

Matt Motherfracking Damon can go frack himself. He and Krasinski can both take a flying frack over the fracking moon.
