Rumble posted a link about Dimock as proof that fracking contaminated ground water but failed to say that a federal judge threw out the jury verdict. In spite of my asking many times for him to explain why the judge did so, he failed to respond. Its possible he is ignorant of the details of the case but a simple internet search would have supplied him with all the pertinent data needed. That means the only logical explanation is that he is as dishonest as most of the libs and the liberal media. They do not want people to know the facts since those facts contradict their position that fracking caused the problem in Dimock.
Here is a newspaper article after just one day of testimony;
Mr. Ely said he first became concerned about his water in January 2009, when his children developed unexplained rashes and headaches. He had his water tested and discovered high levels of methane.
Under cross examination by Ms. Barrette, Mr. Ely acknowledged he authored a handwritten note to his attorneys in which he said he first noticed problems with his water in August 2008. The water, he said, smelled like rotten eggs and “was really bubbly.”
That date is key to Cabot’s defense as the company did not begin drilling the wells in question until September or October of 2008, Mr. Dillard said.
Thats right, there is proof that the plaintiff's water was contaminated two months before drilling. (And a month before Cabot even moved one shovel of earth) And at that time drilling took a month or so and fracking came a couple weeks later so the water went bad 3-4 months before fracking.
There's more from the same article;
Ms. Barrette also challenged Mr. Ely’s refusal of Cabot’s offer to provide a water treatment system.
Mr. Ely testified he refused the system because his uncle, who owns property near him, accepted the unit from Cabot and it did not work. His uncle’s water quality is still so poor that he now pumps water from his pond for home use, Mr. Ely said.
Under cross examination, Mr. Ely acknowledged he refused Cabot’s offer for a treatment system before his uncle’s system was even installed, however.
Again, he was caught lying under oath as to why he refused a water treatment system. There is much more that came out during the trial. Weird how the press never covered any of it.
There is much more. Rumble probably knows this but will not share it with us. Environmental activist Stephen Schneider told Discover magazine in 1989: “We have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. … Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.” Seems Rumble operates under the same philosophy.
