Climate criminal Branson zapped by Hurricane Irene

Hurricane Irene attacks Sir Richard Branson, Fantastic natural revenge!

Branson is responsible for pumping billions of tons of CO2 into the upper atmosphere.

Climate Chaos and worse hurricanes are a direct result, as the world climate nears the dreaded

tipping point of no return, with CO2 emissions totally out of control.

Branson was luxuriating on his private island with bis jet set guests,

savouring the rewards of destroying the future of the planet for us all…

WHAMMO   good old Irene totally destroyed the main mansion!!!!!

Smouldering remains of Branson’s £60m paradise home:

Irene's revenge on mega Climate Criminal Branson

Scene the day after Kate Winslet rescued Virgin boss’s mother from inferno

  • Branson thanks Winslet for helping carry his 90-year-old mother to safety
  • Sir Richard calls for ‘Dunkirk spirit’ after island battered by Hurricane Iren

This smouldering wreckage is all that remains today of Sir Richard Branson’s luxury Caribbean home after it was razed to the ground by fire.

The multi-million-pound Great House on Necker, the Virgin tycoon’s £60million private island, caught fire after it was struck by lightning in the early hours of Monday when the region was battered by Hurricane Irene.

And the tycoon revealed that as his family and guests fled for their lives the Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet carried his 90-year-old mother Eve to safety.

TinTin’s riot class..Freedom Press

Tintin the responsible Rioter

Freedom Press is in the process of re-printing The Adventures of Tintin: Breaking Free that perennial anarchist classic.

It features our hero, a ordinary working class lad from the inner cities, at the centre of political demonstrations, wildcat strikes, street riots, and eventually a revolutionary uprising.

It graphically depicts scenes of social unrest, workers solidarity and people looting the local Tescos.

Collapse of Capitalism: ‘System ready to blow’

  1. World stock markets plunge/ Fears of recession intensify…/. Global recession warning rattles stock…/  European bank funding    /     Unemployment rises sharply  /  The System is Ready to Blow /  Markets in Meltdown /

The world financial system is now one huge mess, The stupid debt system and dog eat dog mentality

have brought the whole thing rolling to a cliff edge. It appears the Central banks have run out of

ideas to slow things down.

If Capitalism blows it’s NOT the end.. it’s just a new ball game.

‘The West’ is immensely rich in property and assets, yet suddenly will be bankrupt.

This is nonsense.. all we need to do is band together in Local Assemblies, pool our resources , skills

and possibilities, and work out an infinitely better future, without destroying the planet. In some places this is already happening.

The Collapse of Capitalism means the rich will lose their ill gotten gains.. For the rest it will be ‘survival as usual’…

 

Blueprint for ‘gasoline’ 100% free of CO2, NOx, SOx

I found it, thanks to   Proton Ventures    http://www.protonventures.com/NFUEL.html  and to see an overview opf their NFuel systems: http://www.protonventures.com/images/PV0765%20-%20NFUEL%20unit%20overview.pdf

This is it, a process that is CO2 free, which makes a fuel that’s also CO2 free when burned.

And it’s cheap and safer than petroleum. Free also of NOx and SOx pollution that KILLS millions of us

Plus ALL combustion engines can be adapted to run on it.

Q E D… This is a viable answer to cut CO2 emissions by 30% plus (transport)

The rest is politics, capitalism, greed and criminal trashing of the planet.

 

CO2-free fuel plantI’m doing a micro campaign on this blog in favour of this  CO2-free fuel.

It’s not a success. Nobody is interested, or else they think I’m another Nutter.

Please can you help? We need lots of free publicity and to persuade ‘respectable’ blogs, magazines, etc to write about it.

I’ve done some research and more posts and links you can view HERE

Repsol criminales destruyen AMAzonia

23 nuevos pozos de Repsol amenenazan

la reserva comunal ashanika y machiguenga


Sábado 30 de julio de 2011, por repsolmemata

por Marc Gavaldá/Alerta Amazónica

Sepahua, 22 de julio, 2011.- El lote 57 de Repsol YPF proyecta hacer sombra a las operaciones gasíferas de Pluspetrol en el Complejo Camisea. Uniendo mediante gasoductos los lotes 57,56 y 88 Repsol y Pluspetrol ampliarán en los próximos meses la frontera gasífera en las entrañas de la selva que separa los ríos Tambo y Urubamba.

A la perforación iniciada de varios pozos exploratorios, se le añaden la apertura de miles de kilómetros de líneas sísmicas y el tendido de varios gasoductos para conectar todos los pozos a la planta separadora de gas en Camisea.

ashanika and machiguenga girls

El primer pozo exploratorio de Repsol en el lote 57, el Kinteroni I, ha dado resultados positivos, como se presencia en las llamas gigantes de una foto colgada en la radio de la Comunidad Nativa Nuevo Mundo. En esta comunidad machiguenga, Repsol ha construido una mini ciudad como campo base y ha tendido una trama de relaciones clientelares con sus habitantes.

Cuadricular la selva

Como señalan sus Estudio de Impacto Ambiental, Repsol pretende concluir en 2011 su ambicioso proyecto de exploración sísmica 3D en el interior de las Reservas Comunales Ashanika y Machiguenga, así como en la Zona de Amortiguamiento del Parque Nacional Otuquis.(1)

En total, nada menos que 2.360 Km2 de bosque amazónico será afectado por el tamizado de una matriz de líneas sísmicas que se cruzan perpendicularmente cada 240 metros. Una cuadrícula atroz para los ecosistemas. Pretender que la fauna no será impactada por este barrido sistemático de la floresta, con el denso tendido de caminos y zonas de descarga para helicópteros, pecaría de interés o ingenuidad.

Si el resultado de esta lustrosa campaña fuera negativa, Repsol informa – a modo de amenaza en un afiche colgado en la oficina comunal de Nuevo Mundo- que ejecutará una nueva campaña de prospección sísimica 2D, con la apertura de 892 kilómetros lineales de sendas sísmicas.

23 pozos en las cabeceras

A parte de la plataforma Kinteroni I, con 2 hectáreas de selva sepultadas bajo un manto de cemento y 3 bocas de pozo a punto de escupir gas, en 2011 Repsol pretende construir este año 2 pozos más: el Mashira GX y el Mapi LX y hasta 2022 serían un total de 23. Entre ellos, 10 pozos en la comunidad kakinte de Tsojora, 3 en Poyeni, uno en Nuevo Mundo y otro en un lugar inhóspito de la Reserva Comunal Machiguenga.

Ya es muy conocida la extraña obstinación que describen los pozos hidrocarburíferos para contaminar los recursos hídricos en ecosistemas tropicales. A modo de ejemplo, sólo empezar, Repsol ya tuvo un accidente “inesperado” por unas lluvias “inusuales”, que provocaron el derrumbe de lodos sobre una motobomba del pozo Kinteroni.

Bernabé Gómez, monitor machiguenga del Equipo de Monitoreo Medioambiental Comunitario de Nuevo Mundo, informó al equipo de Alerta Amazónica que este derrumbe, producido el 15 de diciembre de 2010, provocó un vertido de diesel a las aguas del arroyo Huitricaya.

A estas alturas del partido, cualquier nueva perforación en la selva genera gran desconfianza sobre cuánto tiempo las aguas de los arroyos de la zona seguirán siendo limpias y cristalinas. Porque aparte de los ríos tributarios Tambo y Urubamba, una docena de cursos fluviales menores serán afectados por la perforación de los 23 pozos.

Por los vertidos, o por el bombeo de agua necesario para la perforación de pozos a 2 kilómetros de profundidad, entre los ríos amenzados por la perforación de pozos en sus cabeceras, destacamos el río Cheni, Erite, Poyeni, Mapayo, Sepa, Sensa, Huitricaya y Mapaya.

Gasoductos que acortan el camino hacia el mar

Para facilitar la exportación del gas perforado en las comunidades kakintes y machiguengas, se construirá desde Kinteroni I, un tubo de 16 pulgadas y 14,5 km hasta la estación de Repsol en la Comunidad Nativa de Nuevo Mundo. Ahí se le sumará el flujo proveniente de Mipaya (pozo de Pluspetrol en el lote 56) para conectarlo a otro pozo, el Pagoneri A, con un ducto de 42 kilómetros.

Desde allá, se conducirá el gas a la planta de Malvinas (Camisea) por tres gasoductos, dos de Pluspetrol ya existentes, y un nuevo ducto de 22 kilómetros que construirá Repsol en los próximos meses. Para todo este proyecto de desarrollo Repsol ha proyectado 202 millones de dólares.(2)

Vulnerabilidad para el pueblo Kakinte

El pueblo Kakinte, de la familia etnolingüística Arawak, está conformado por aproximadamente mil personas, ubicadas en 6 comunidades alejadas, en el distrito de Río Tambo: Taini, Tsoroja, Quitepampani, San Luis de Corinto, Maseka y Mangariari.

pollution destroys source of life

El aislamiento geográfico, la falta de información oportuna e independiente, la presión territorial de otros pueblos y la falta de titulación de tres de sus comunidades han ocasionado una débil negociación con Repsol YPF, la empresa que convertirá sus territorios en un rentable negocio gasífero.

En el 2006 el pueblo kakinte solicitó una compensación por el ingreso de la empresa a sus territorios obteniendo un pago efectivo y donación de un teléfono satelital, un local comunal y algunas casas de cemento. Pero “ Lamentablemente, la compensación no ha servido para asuntos de fondo como el fortalecimiento de la identidad cultural de los kakinte, la educación bilingüe intercultural, ni para fortalecer la seguridad territorial de las comunidades, especialmente las no tituladas” informaba Servindi en 2010.(3)

La desinformación, mal información y las ofertas compensatorias a corto plazo, juegan a favor de Repsol YPF en su irreversible intervención de los territorios comunales de los pueblos ashanikas, kakintes y machiguengas. Mientras tanto, el desarrollo gasífero avanza como una infrenable apisonadora cultural.
