  1. Channel four had some news and info on fracking / it showed on tv once and dissapeared from all further news reports buried forever. Now we “Oklahomans” are being squeezed in from the Atlantic and Pacific tectonic plates “cause OKLA is in the middle” After all the fracking is done /oil is taken out and long gone, and the companies involved have disappeared with their monies the truth will come out like on a “new” channel 4 story. Its like living in the matrix.
