well. this is a pat on our land. five years ago it was all grass. like that over there now we have this pumper going day and day out we didn't have any choice really we could have put it over that way or ways i mean we could have moved it a little bit. but we have to let the people that own the mineral rights get to those mineral rights and they compensated us for for what they took here but the company built it and we have it now for own next forty years i'm guessing i don't know. my house up there and there we have we used to have

a beautiful view. now we have this to look at brings in a little bit of money very little if it took us out of here and get back all the money i've made off of it. but it wasn't going to happen. someday you know on oil as all pumped out the ground they will come back here and level it out and turn it back into farmland but that's. you know like i said. going

to be out of most of our lifetimes be out of mind for sure. you have nothing to say about where. i should say i have nothing to say you can suggest but they don't have to listen to you don't mean you have no legal say in it put it so they can put a wherever they want they don't need any your permission foreign oil industry follows a proper practices i don't think will have a problem but there's always that if me if they don't then we could have an issue in the biggest issue would be to to ground water as i see it when we live in rural areas most of us depend on wells for our our drinking water and all the water we use in our old so if that would happen it would be a very bad thing. i was wrong a fraction john that's where they pump the sand the fluid in the other chemicals

because they use as it is one they use a chemical called bio bio it kills all biological elements so so when they pumped out that often to ground any kind of bacteria is going to kill it any kind of living organism of any cat it kills it because of one of our guy has he. got some of it on his hands and light and i disturb just won't his hand will bail because that's when my old bio bio kills biological. anything. i'm pretty sure is its is run in the water. for history it is as is there nobody drinks the water out of the father from north dakota i think everybody drank so bottled water you know it just is just like you ever. drop water on the out of the faucet night isn't this it is pretty nice. when where fracking

no oil or grease is allowed to be spilled on the ground if you make an a mistake and you drop one cup you have to clean it up and take it away with you it's not polluting north dakota the air is clean the water is clean. this is privately on land this is not government land and in less the environmental protection agency fines scientific proof that there is real pollution going on they won't be able to shut this down. and so far there is no proof. there is just. propaganda. is it possible to respect safety measures tracking. down how deep it is advocating his notion and it attempt to avoid all risk of polluting groundwater it seems to success is very unlikely. the question is me raised as grass the intention of

anti-fashion groups. one thing is certain the practice of hydraulic fracking to be as large quantities of drinking water. can young is the owner of eclipse services a company of the facilitates the shipping of water for fracking through pipelines and provides water storage and its huge tanks as well. these things for the youth to hold water for the fracking they hold thirty five thousand barrels and so they'll pump water from one to the other until eventually it's pumped over to the frac and down the hole. it's fresh water all that water thrown in here is coming out of the city water line so it's all clean water. they'll spend millions of dollars on water for one frack is one of the biggest expenses one of these wells the price. of the water after the frac they just blow up. back out of the

ground they all went off to a disposal facility. right here this is called a flare natural gas comes up with the oil and so they have to get rid of it so they just burn it off right here. comes out of the pump jacks goes underground to the treaters and there it separates the oil the water in the guess this site your produce is more water than what they can pipeline out here so i have to come in with a truck intricate out take it to disposal facilities. keep their lives sixty miles out of the list and on fort berthold reservation for black gold flows freely and accounts for one quarter of north dakota's production. this oil field isn't all that good for everybody we have secured land here we have

virgin land here and now there's oil role of oil fields. at night some of these trucks to drive along gravel roads and they don't poison. blocking water and salt water and all the things into the ditch. because they're too lazy to drive to the dump station and that is going into our river going into our creeks it's going into our stock pond. this is not in the water but it is you know they're not telling the truth. i have twenty nine grandchildren i want them to enjoy this river where i do don't want them to walk in the water one can to catch a fish you can eat no one to grow a garden and to do and have to worry about poison in the plant i want to have plant winter medicine it's not deformed now because of the things that are in this water . oil workers are best

suited to judge the eventual pollution risk caused by fracking. unfortunately this problem is not a priority they are in survival mode first and foremost they are in need of work. during the drilling phase radioactive to prepare up back to the surface is a major risk for workers and the environment some companies clearly are not concerned and do not hesitate to suppose of these toxic materials into wild dumps. especially teams are left to ship them back to suitable treatment so it's. in north dakota no one with an oil rich piece of land will tell you that fracking could be an environmental hazard. doing so could jeopardize one of the best ways to get rich quick. of course all beautiful stories have been in rhetoric christmas two thousand and fourteen all science turned red thanks to saudi arabia the staggering fall of the

price per barrel of oil put it in and the moment of euphoria saw the us rise among the first producers of crude oil face to shale. we can feel the concern brought by the price cut everywhere and will is to now shows the science of a boom town going bust. people in this town are very very suspicious of oil booms because that almost always comes with a large bust and the bust to be rather difficult and now that i'm a part of this town i'm a little bit worried because we're seeing gas prices start to drop down and i'm wondering what's going to happen to my business because we have a lot less. january two thousand and fifteen the price per barrel fell below the crucial fifty dollars mark. in this little town here west and. is

a major major reason why the price of oil around the world is coming down because the opec countries saudi arabia leading them there out there they're very scared by the. developments in hydraulic fracturing they know that the united states in the past five years went from importing something like sixty percent of the oil that we use down to thirty percent and that is a direct result of the hydraulic fracturing that's taken place like here and williston in the bach and in other areas they want to put these companies out of business. even if circumstances are worrisome these days i fear that he has not stopped after ten thousand wells we still need to extract the millions of barrels lying beneath the bakken. this situation brings happiness to the ones for him for serious companies but it is devastating to the oil workers who are no longer needed they are thrown out into the streets without pity they must decide whether to go

back home or stay liston looking for new jobs. in february twenty fifteen want to one of my coworkers i worked with he calmly and he said managers laid everybody off. these and i told everybody to go to a room get all a stove and get out and this was two o'clock in the morning at night in february in the winter. a man can say emptied out enclosed from one day to the next. these dilapidated barracks will probably pollute the landscape for eight years to come. construction sites for abandoned by the dozen and left to rest and to keep.

housing construction began at the peak of the williston goodman is now nearly complete. occupied in part by survivors of the the neighborhood seems sadly empty. here and with the downturn in the economy. boil prices. i can still make more money than i can back home. just. now as much they're used to. i consider myself fortunate because i still have a job as talk no friend just yesterday he got laid off so he's got to go back to louisiana to find find work. because there are not too many people hiring

or. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line and they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to be rich . but you'd like to be close it's like the fall tree in the morning can't believe. i'm interested always in the waters of how. things should fall. in a world of big part of newton's laws and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we. need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting

past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. it's hard. but i'm. i'm really good money and i'm paying bills off them a boat to help my children out and. my children are very poor. just something that has to be done. you know it's it's just like this job too

you know two nights ago i wanted to go home i was tired. but. there was a high takes we we had to hold the water otherwise that the well sit down and. people get upset so. you do what you have to do. in the oil. adults has slowed down though but still steady and you know just well doing three jobs every day that week. did the

donor show up its work about sixty eight hours. in the day for the guy doing construction maybe five or six hours and this he's now working out three or four making the sandwiches and. i read this place down for only three hundred fifty dollars a month he has the whole downstairs to himself. which is a little bit messy. i claimed. he had to

leave california because there's no jobs why is there no jobs there's too many mexicans makes good to do the same job i was doing for half of the price. you know how many donuts oh. wow. i've done more for. twenty four dozen or. have. been encouraging out i'm to save some money. so that he can move his family here and put a deposit first and last month's rent on an apartment he's a good father he misses a little girl. missing. for we did so. when oil reach twenty nine dollars

a barrel we weren't doing anything march was a bad month but now it's suddenly picked up to forty dollars a barrel and we're busy again the companies have done so much cost cutting and efficiency that if the price goes to fifty it will be like it used to be eighty. the rig counts the number of rigs drilling new holes in the ground has gone way down from over two hundred to i think thirty five rigs active in the block and. as time goes on without new wells being drilled and fret our one point one million barrels a day will go down naturally slowly in some point in the two to five years there will be a supply and demand reversal whereas now we're oversupplied will be under supplied and the price will shoot up between now and then it will go like this and at some point it will go up. and if the price go ever goes to one hundred and it will

someday. north dakota will be crawling with workers looking for housing and there will be a huge labor shortage the companies will be throwing money at us. so. now we're mostly working for folks who have oil rigs oil pumps on their land and they have those monthly checks coming in from the all companies and they're spending money on their homes. or lot of people have disappeared out here who gone back home i guess i know some are gone back to bozeman big sky area because constructions doing ok there some went back to minneapolis some to idaho but yeah a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here anymore they're all gone just slow down too much they lost their jobs got laid off so couldn't put in the hours a lot of families to a lot of guys in the oil business the higher ups the guys making more money they've gone to south america in the middle east so they'll be back i guess some day but.

so that's the whole process. sort of her claim to me. i could buy a house and i did i could stay in a very nice apartment but i don't need it and i have very low overhead and i like it that way and i don't have a lot of needs. this is stuff. this was a born to ride share and there was a snow storm and heavy snowstorm about three years ago i suppose and the snow load

on the roof caused the roof to collapse so. so anyway it's kind of an open air garage and. i. have a hose hooked up in there and i walk i'm good. thanks . to the oil industry has changed dramatically and i don't like to see that i see companies going out of business and people being fired and laid off and loading up a u.-haul trailers and heading out of town and it's sad. it hasn't really affected me because. we service the infrastructure that has been built and once that infrastructure is built it still needs to be maintained i'm very thankful for that.

so tonight we'll. do. one of the last minute rush. but it's nice to have the company and i actually enjoy . as i said before i've you're really outside of. the former girlfriend kamal difficult times oh you're like the only visitors that i've had here. in the over forty years that i've been with most. used to be our are or who are

interested in girls. that like politics i've come to realize well politics is a scam girls are just problems. i mean. so i stay away from both. this gas station over here we used to deliver to them. three four dozen donuts last week they quit the order altogether because nobody was coming in to i don't so. here goes one more. it's always get this one and keep on going around the corner.

because you're going to go on how to get the best that. you should frank de sac. cindy the owner of the or the manager of the store there. her business is down so far that she's had to. take on a second job now so she souls cosmetics to women here in the oil field. we gave her a lot to come up here but we thought it was going to be best for our family we

thought the oil boom would be here for at least another fifteen years and that we would be able to. be able to make enough money to pay for our kids to go to college . the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and. it's a tough reality and new york.

is still a boom will come back but if it does it'll be much much more shallow a growth curve. and won't be nearly as. much money and. i'm not. an eternal optimist. i think it's going to come back.

nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that prevalent in this population of awful conviction if you look at any interrogation out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie

a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the most comfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said if i were to. say on a statement that i would be home by that time the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage at misconduct that has nothing to do with solving their crime. i think that you want to have but inside i'm. a dockside and i think. going down on that side you can improve yourself of. that it's all and so but then joe. i really believe this the bottom that we show up side is story and depend.

on our condition a lot. on the scene on the line. circumstances that allowed for the emergence of this very very long form violence i think we may get the sons and even grandsons of guys at some point in the future it's primarily a political issue in iraq that has taken on minutes we. don't know for cations. us veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from

a certain branches off says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war then surely we can risk some discomfort for an easy miss for. european leaders in brussels to agree on a breakfast withdrawal agreement though the deal now faces an uphill struggle in a deeply divided u.k. parliament. a week of demonstrations across france culminating with violence on the streets of paris where tear gas and water cannons were deployed. and that a bit of difficulty opening my eyes right now not because we've just been in.
