Please learn more about my case and read the documents available in the courthouse in Montrose; they are public; the motions by Cabot and the court orders signed by Judge Seamans; I can also send you copies of the documents via email : veraduerga@yahoo.com

Cabot alleged that I trespassed and did "irreparable harm" to them and that has not been proven in a trial. My trial date to prove my innocence is set for July 2nd at 9 am in Montrose Courthouse. Come to that and learn and hear what can be proven.

Cabot could have sent me a "cease and desist" letter and did not. Cabot could have filed a police complaint and they did not.

Cabot went straight for an injunction on Oct. 21, 2014. And I've been viewing and documenting their sites and activities for five years.

I was given less than 24 working hours after being notified of a hearing date to find an attorney and went to the hearing without an attorney while Cabot was there with four attorneys and 12 Cabot employees as witnesses.

The court order states that I was restrained from all Cabot leased and owned properties and that includes and not limited to well pads, access roads, well sites. If Cabot did not mean to include businesses, friends, hospital which is leased to Cabot, then Cabot could have drafted the order more narrowly or moved to modify the injunction, neither of which they did.

After my first hearing with no attorney, which lasted four hours, I now have three lawyers pro-bono, representing me in this case of violation of civil rights; I have a lawyer from the ACLU of Pa., from Public Citizen, and a private, Pa. attorney.

Please do not spread incorrect information about me. I will sit down and talk to anyone and discuss the documents and what happened and show the documents.

Cabot Oil and Gas is the one with 540 DEP Violations and millions in fines and was found guilty of water contamination by the DEP in the 2010 Consent Order for Dimock, Pa. and Cabot is still banned from drilling in the affected area which includes 9 square miles in Dimock.

As far as the water damages and contamination, come and see for yourself and I will show you the families in Dimock and other areas of our county with contamination since gas drilling nearby.

DEP has not stated that the water is safe to drink in Dimock where contamination has happened. Ask the DEP about it and ask for documentation. I have documents showing the contamination and you can meet the families and see the homes with the water issues since gas drilling.

Sincerely,

Alex Hribal was just a normal 16-year old. A typical Ozzie and Harriet kid, a B+ student, popular, comfortable in the seamless scholastic and social life of a high school student in Pennsylvania. Except for one day. On April 10th he went on a butchering spree with two kitchen knives. He knifed 20 students and a security officer before being tackled by the assistant principal.

Now the media is mystified. How could this average teenager, who was never in trouble, go absolutely crazy? The real mystery is why it's a media mystery. True, school violence is nothing new. It's been reported since the '20s. But in the last 30 years there's been an uptick both in the number of incidences, victims, and sheer viciousness of assaults.

Yet in all this time it remains a mystery? Well, it's not a mystery. The cause is strongly suspected but assiduously sidestepped by the mass media. It's drugs, legally prescribed prescription drugs, especially the second generation of antidepressants introduced in the '80s.

A quick search of school-related murders between 1997 and 2012 revealed 50 incidences resulting in 126 deaths (almost entirely students) and 112 injuries. In each of these cases, the student perpetrator was taking one or more the following prescribed antidepressants: Prozac, Ritalin, Zoloft, Dexadrine, Paxil, Celexa, Effexor, or Ckymbalta.

The print and visual media usually describe extreme school violence as “senseless,” which, in itself, is senseless. They avoid mentioning the elephant in the room for fear of losing advertising dollars.

Look at the number of drug ads on TV, in newspapers, in magazines, and you're looking at $60 billion worth of propaganda. But for the global pharmaceutical cartels that rake in $1 trillion a year in sales that's couch change.

The word “cartel,” is usually reserved for illegal suppliers of drugs, but it is aptly applied to legal drug manufacturers as well. In many instances they are exactly the same drugs and their effects are equally deleterious.

Under the respectable cartels are the distributors, the physicians and psychiatrists. Undoubtedly, many of these professionals prescribe antidepressants with the best of intentions. They are motivated by a desire to help. To many this mitigates their guilt, but it does not eliminate it; good intentions do not equate to good results. The association of psychotropic drugs and violent behavior, while not clinically causative is strongly suggestive.

Then why do doctors write 250 million prescriptions a year for these ineffective, addictive, and dangerous drugs?

“The prime purpose of prescribing antidepressants,” said Dr. Robert Lefever, “is to enable the doctors to avoid being blamed [sued] for patients' suicides. If they follow conventional practice they will not be blamed. However, the effectiveness of antidepressants in treating depression is only slightly greater than placebos.”

Related to school violence are the shocking number of military suicides.

Every day about 22 active or retired military personnel kill themselves. Is this a greater rate compared to the vets of Vietnam? No one knows. There are no reliable data before the '60s and post-traumatic-stress-disorder (PTSD) wasn't recognized by the American Psychiatric Association until 1980.

Whatever the case, soldiers serving in a combat zone in Afghanistan or in occupied Iraq have been described as stressed-out, sleep deprived, combat traumatized, brain injured, and understandably depressed. When they seek help the drug of choice doled out is Ambien, a highly addictive sleep inducer.

But the side effects of Ambien (sales $2 billion) are depression---the very reason these uniformed men are reaching out for help---and suicide.

Then is Ambien responsible for the appalling number of military suicides? No one can say anymore so than saying that drugs are the cause of school homicides. What can be said is that the evidence for school and military murders are strongly circumstantial. But circumstantial does not mean inconsequential. Men have been sentenced to death by juries when circumstantial evidence was compelling enough.

So you be the jury. Is circumstantial evidence sufficient to convict the legal drug cartels of murder in the first degree, that is, killing that is both willful and premeditated? Few would think so.

But what about murder two: killing caused by the offender's obvious lack of concern for human life?
