Stopping the Australian Coal Export Boom

4 Comments

Jo Nova has a blog – US donors funding activists to shut down Australian mines, ports and rail, approved by Hillary’s right-hand-man? Nobody there yet has referred to this stunning 2011 pdf report by the organizers that sets out their detailed multi-$million plans – Stopping the Australian Coal Export Boom – 17 pages must read only 3.75MB. The Rockefellers and Pew were in the campaign by 2011.
And now we have a useless Lame Duck Govt in Canberra and a Labour Govt in Queensland.
I mentioned this in August 2015
Rising coal prices are slowly defeating the Greens efforts.

  1. It NEVER ceases to amaze me just how much the gullible herd mentality pervades modern willfully ignorant self satisfied society.
    The Soros’ & Rockefeller’s political /educational/propaganda bubbles have infected us with illogical guilt & basic incapacity to “see & reason”.
    Naturally this is by design.
    In Australia 5/8 of what underpins our standard of living comes from the resource sector& 1/8 comes from the rural sector – NO IFS- NO BUTS :-

    The State governments may well be living off the fat of the real estate stamp duty bubble , but in the real world that does not pay for the clothes we wear, the consumables we buy ( from China), the cars we do not make here any more & importantly the fuel that goes into them BECAUSE WE DO NOT REFINE OIL ANY MORE!!!

    Be aware & get angry at yourself first & then your political representatives.

    Thanks for the thread. The 2011 paper from Greenpeace Aus, while perhaps not well known to the mass of the populace (who couldn’t care less in any case) is not particularly pungent. By 2011, the coal/iron ore investment was at its’ peak, with prices plateauing. Greenpeace was unable to stop it. The “strategies” outlined in the Greenpeace paper to be refined had been evident for a decade or more. The timing of developments included estimates of the effect of these strategies – by that, I mean we did indeed hold what-if meetings to hone investment timelines aimed at deliberately circumventing these people.

    One technique involved releasing information to the media containing inaccurate details about key rail movements so that the publicity-seeking look-at-me yelly screamies consistently turned up at the wrong location on the wrong day, with the ABC cameras in tow. Couldn’t work forever, of course, but did provide both breathing space and a lot of fun.

    As far as the Galilee Basin is concerned, once the rail line for transport to the coast is built, the Galilee is as open for development as the Bowen Basin was when its’ transport infrastructure was completed in the 70’s.

    I do agree with you, though, that our Govts, both State and Federal, are simply never to be trusted not to renege on anything previously agreed to.

    Moving on, is there not a circuit here involving our Govt & Foreign Minister?
    MichaelSmithNews.Com has reported that Australia has donated millions to the Clinton Foundation. Just Google: Australia has donated millions to the Clinton Foundation
    Jo Nova reports that Clinton staffer Podesta played a role in this anti-coal activism in Australia.

    In centuries past wars would have been fought over less and many traitors would have lost their heads for less.
