FARMERS BARRED FROM VIEWING 'GASLAND' SEQUEL AFTER CONFRONTING ANTI-FRACKING DIRECTOR AND YOKO ONO

A group of at least 20 farmers, some who woke at 4:30 a.m. in order to travel to Manhattan for a Tribeca Film Festival screening of Gasland Part II, were barred from seeing the film after questioning celebrity anti-fracking director Yoko Ono, according to filmmaker Phelim McAleer.

Festival security officials allegedly blocked the farmers from entering, and soon area police officers reportedly arrived to make sure none of the farmers could enter.

Some of the farmers, said McAleer, had yelled tough questions at both Gasland Part II director Josh Fox and anti-fracking advocate Yoko Ono as they walked the red carpet before the 3:30 p.m. screening. Both films insist the process of fracking poses an environmental hazard that far outweighs its power-producing benefits. McAleer told Breitbart News that the tough questions apparently convinced festival officials to prevent them from seeing the actual film.

Another government cover-up. Check out what's going on in places like Rifle, Colorado. Gas and oil companies are exempt from the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act so nothing is done. Research this, folks!

lol...tells you all you need to know about Gasland. Yoko Ono. It's been debunked as nothing more than a fear mongering movie without facts to back up their claims. Hundreds of thousands of wells have been fracked over the past 60 years...if it was so dangerous, the practice would've been stopped years ago. Even NY state(just released under Cuomo) and the EPA under Obama agree it isn't dangerous.

Yoko is really still grasping for fame? The farmers should take this up with a lawyer. It's OK for you to make money by spewing your lies to the sheep, but when someone asks questions, and you don't have the answers...ban them! Country is turning softer by the day.
