Condamine River set on fire after Greens MP lights bubbling methane gas, blames fracking

New South Wales Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham has released vision of himself on a boat sparking a kitchen lighter above the Condamine River.

"Holy f***. Unbelievable. A river on fire," he exclaims in the video. "The most incredible thing I've seen. A tragedy in the Murray-Darling Basin."

Burn On
By Randy Newman

There's a red moon rising
On the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There's a red moon rising
On the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There's an oil barge winding
Down the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There's an oil barge winding
Down the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

Cleveland city of light city of magic
Cleveland city of light you're calling me
Cleveland, even now I can remember
Cause the Cuyahoga River
Goes smokin' through my dreams

Burn on, big river, burn on
Burn on, big river, burn on
Now the Lord can make you tumble
And the Lord can make you turn
And the Lord can make you overflow
But the Lord can't make you burn

Burn on, big river, burn on
Burn on, big river, burn on

Is there anything this revolution cannot achieve (aside from winning the actual primary? )

'Elect sanders to end this'

As far as I know the us does not dictate what Australia can do. This revolution is becoming more magical by the minute

I am a Sanders supporter (who will vote for the winning dem candidate), and I think some of this shit is getting ridiculous. I have GD P trashed so I don't have to see it, but it still pops up from time to time.

Anyone who does not see the danger of fracking is crazy.

But ISIS is in our streets and socialism and transgender toilet trolls, and cross-dressing, castrated nuns who still fear the bicycle bar are parading downtown!!! Just like Fukushima or Chernobyl (30 year anniversary coming right up - can't wait to see how much CNN covers it); whatever you do - just don't ask serious questions, don't question TPTB, and move along folks, move right along. We must not frighten the children; or was it old angry white men? or dominionists? or the fawning corporate media? It's madness, complete madness.
