“In the valleys of Appalachia, a battle is being fought over a mountain. It is a battle with severe consequences that affect every American, regardless of their social status, economic background or where they live. It is a battle that has taken many lives and continues to do so the longer it is waged. It is a battle over protecting our health and environment from the destructive power of Big Coal.

The mining and burning of coal is at the epicenter of America’s struggle to balance its energy needs with environmental concerns. Nowhere is that concern greater than in Coal River Valley, West Virginia, where a small but passionate group of ordinary citizens are trying to stop Big Coal corporations, like Massey Energy, from continuing the devastating practice of Mountain Top Removal.”

We are witnessing the inception of our revolution, even as we blog about it. The push back from the corporatists makes our efforts resemble those of Sisyphus, doggedly pushing his massive boulder up a mountain day after day, only to have it plummet back down again, night after night.

Like Sisyphus, we cannot stop. We cannot slow down. We cannot rest. Even in our darkest days, we must prevail.

Massey IS raping Mother Earth. The consequences of this heinous crime will be far reaching.

YouTube pulled the video, but you can still find it at RingofFireRadio.com.
