Judging by his ignorant and radical leftist rants on subjects such as public education, it’s probably no surprise Matt Damon opposes hydraulic fracturing, the highly effective process of extracting natural gas that some critics say is environmentally unfriendly.
Damon’s latest politically-charged movie, though, has prompted one of his peers to call him “a liar” for claiming it isn’t an outlet for his own ideological views.
“Promised Land,” co-written by Damon, is “political from the beginning to the very end” and perpetuates the left’s misinformation about the process commonly known as “fracking,” said director Phelim McAleer. The filmmaker called the move “classic propaganda.”
McAleer’s own movie “FrackNation” presents the positive side of fracking, and he is vocal in his criticism of Damon’s portrayal of the drilling method.
Dispelling the leftist claim that fracking leads to contaminated water supplies, McAleer points to historical data that far predates any such drilling.
“In America hundreds of years ago, Native Americans named three different locations ‘Burning Springs,’” he said. “Quite simply, this is because of the naturally occurring gases – like methane – that are found beneath the earth’s surface with water.”
He went on to say that “there is no evidence that suggests that fracking has led to an increase in this phenomenon.”
A billboard campaign McAleer began in New York addresses the actor/activist directly, stating, “Matt Damon: the water has been on fire since 1669.”
When news broke that the United Arab Emirates, an influential member of OPEC, partially funded the film, Damon’s already shaky credibility took yet another serious blow.

“Progressives” will fight this great technology all the way, so arm yourselves with facts and a realization it ain’t politics, it’s spiritual warfare.
Thanks Gerald, I too think it’s a spiritual war. I live in LA, CA and will watch this movie, thanks for the heads-up. I commented earlier about Matt Damon and “Logic,” you might be interested?…Semper Fi
Matt Damon, and Libs in general, are not very logical. The concept of “Logic” is quite old, many have tried to define it, but, to this day it suffers. I recently attended a course about logic and was pleasantly surprised, instead of telling me what it IS I learned what it WASN’T, I learned what makes an illogical scene. Astonishingly novel approach! Not very complex, just logical:)
If you’re interested in “Logic” go to http://www.scientology.org/fundamentals-of-thought/videos.html click “Online Courses,” for 19 that deal with ‘life’ problems/solutions. You want the one called “Investigations.” All are free and short, but will last a ‘logical’ lifetime…Semper Fi
Semper Fi Gil, as i look at the photos and patches my friend Maj Mike “Juice” Sobyra, USMC gave me. That included the Rosary he carried in his flight suit during 42 missions in Desert Storm. He gave it to me when I was stage 4 Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Seems to have worked – I’m not in remission, but cured.
I’m working on what I call the “Political Theory of Relativity” as a tool in spiritual warfare to counter PC, lies and the Alinskyite corruption in DC. There are three groups of three elements in the theory. The first three are the normative sciences of philosophy – Beauty, Ethics and Logic. B, E & L.They are equally important, but must be prioritized. e.g.,
L first creates a search for what to call logical, often ending up with a single stupid idea with no basis in truth. From that E has to adapt to faulty L (like global warming, gun control, anti-fracking, etc,), leaving no room for the B of a life saved or an appreciation of nature to the point of stewardship – not draconian laws, regs and fines as is the “progressive” agenda.
There are six combinations of priorities, but BEL is the ideal – Seek Beauty first, the Author of Beauty, the B of a life valued. Then the E defines the range and limits of B (e.g, Michelangelo’s Pieta but not Mary in elephant dung or a crucifix in urine.) Then L can be structured to protect B & E. That’s pure Logic.
Our Declaration of Independence is B, The Constitution is E and the Bill of Rights is L. See it? That’s part of the political theory of Relativity. Makes me cry when I think of it.
The Actors and Actresses need to shut the hell up. They don’t know what they are talking about and making fools of themselves.
This is just another extension of the DemoNaziCommieCrat / RepubNaziCommielican Main Stream Propaganda Ministry. The World Commies/Socialists are pulling out all of the stops before ObamaCommie can’t serve any more terms. But the RepubOcrat Commies are banding together to Eliminate the US as a Free Republic so the United Satans Treaties can disarm our citizens and totally enslave us. And the removal of the 22nd Amendment as proposed by the Traitor Jose Serano will be passed by the Congress, but will fail the State Vote to ratify. This will cause an open Fed show of force to the States and that may be Civil War. But the Ruskies, the Muslims and the Chinese will hop into the fight and make it a World War. The Politicians in the US, or enough of them to sell out our Law and Constitution are already turned coats to traitors. Only the Traitorous Slime has not revealed itself.
