Coal
Send Lawyers, Locks and Money
Submitted by FluxRostrum on Sat, 01/30/2010 - 4:11pmFor 9 days 3 tree sitters stopped blasting on a mountain top removal site tha is adjacent to a coal slurry impoundment that is perched over top of a grade school. It has been proven that if the dam breaks at least a 1,000 WILL die VERY quickly.
It has also been proven that the Mountain they are blowing up for coal would be more profitable to the people and the state as a wind farm. However once Massey energy blows up this mountain the wind potential will be ruined.
Two tree sitters remain in jail on $2,500 cash-only bail, each, after stopping a blast on Coal River Mountain for nine days. CLICK HERE TO DONATE More info at http://www.climategroundzero.org.

Seniors March to End Mountain Top Removal Finale
Submitted by FluxRostrum on Tue, 10/13/2009 - 2:29amDownload
The Senior Citizens March to End Mountaintop Removal ended in a protest and press conference at Massey subsidiary Mammoth Coal Company on US-60, east of Cedar Grove, at 4:00 p.m. on Oct, 12th. Mammoth Coal Company is 25 miles from the march’s starting point at the state capitol in Charleston. At least 28 seniors between the ages of 50 and 88 put their feet to the pavement during the 25 mile walk, including Larry Gibson of Kayford Mountain and Jesse Johnson of the Mountain Party. The march ended peacefully with no arrests or conflicts. Baffled by this the army of corporate media teams were then forced to interview the elders about why the had marched and coverage was seen on every local TV station in Charleston.
the 5 day march's 5 video playlist is here

Submitted by FluxRostrum on Sat, 10/10/2009 - 7:19amDownload
After marching for 5 miles today the seniors settled into the Universal Unitarian Church in Charleston for a fine Bus Cooked meal from Everybody's Kitchen & Seeds of Peace. After the meal Larry Gibson kept the fire of determination lit for over an hour. I've tried to boil it down to the core of the essential.

17 people arrested in the Coal River Valley today. They were there to protest the inevitable massacre of nearly 1,000 people living in harms way of billions of gallons of toxic coal slurry sludge.
They were charged with trespassing and 2 were charged with littering (they left a 60ft banner floating in the middle of the sludge.
The 7 people you will witness being arrested in this video are being held at least until Fucking TUESDAY.
These courageous volunteers have been unprecedentedly slapped with 2,000 dollar bail... for trespassing.
You can make donations to the bail fund @ http://MountainJustice.org
