I hear what you are saying LaVita and to some extent agree with your comments. These are based on how I saw the Video the other day. Before I make my comment it is fair to say that in GML's response nobody from the other side of the GOG or technical people were invited. Therefore for a very longtime now the GML project has been totally dominated by Politics and the Green agenda of IA without any allowance for alternative comment..The responses have been based on the technical points in the EIA....GML last response to the Public Hearing was in my mind also a good response. But it stops there: JM is a good "Technical Man". what he now needs is somebody to create the right MESSAGE and deliver it.... Population 56000--- 25000 in work. 40% work for the Government what about the rest...... thats like not even a big crowd at football match. I realise that greenland is a big place and lots small communities.... Also as a thought big projects need to be near easy access as the island has no Infrustructure..... People do not really want to know about the EIA they want to know in simple nice language how they will be better off with such a project as Kavefjeld. It is not that hard.... Given all that I thought the presentation and commentary was weak and unprofessional it did not sound upbeat enough but more defensive. But just answered questions in a Bland manor. You could see by the video all the general stuff that they were concerned about... I did in one of my posts many months ago suggest that they should be improving the messaging, it is sort of not Rocket Science... We are all aware of the Negative issues that are being raised and GML should be answering those in a very clear and simple manner also showing the benefits for Greenland and what income from the mine will fix such as existing and Pollution and other Social Issues....and Jobs. ... Greenland can't live in a Museum the Arctic is already changing around them with the melting Ice New Sea Routes. Can't also keep going on about China whatever your point of view... China-Russia-USA- Canada-UK and EU are all jockeying for position....Let us not forget that China have to be included everything virtually is now made in China you could say.... It is also the responsibility of the Government to also clearly show the Benefits of the mine as well as the adverse and also clearly show much more clearly the issues Continually being raised such as Uranium Radiation etc etc...... and how it will be addressed . It is not a one sided argument "For instance the Dust from Uranium/" show clearly how this is handled show the effect etc and the levels. Demonstrate that the Indigenous People/Government are in control as to how the mine will work it is not some big International company coming in taking over and walking over everybody They raised $40 million on a Cap Raise towards spending it to get Kavefjeld finalised. Well spend it on a proper story...... Show how the Uranium and Thorium can be a benefit by selling it and not leaving it in the ground or the lake........Even though as GML say Uranium is not needed "There is still a story to tell on how it can Benefit Greenland and other Countries Now the white paper Video was all very nice and picturesque but how about combining it with what it would be like with Kavefjeld in operation and the Jobs and clearly show the full picture hear....They have 4 Pillars well show the people how it will all work.... Maybe they need some Wisdom or wiser Council Tourism will not come without more expense special harbour for cruise ship...Airport for Tourists...thats lots of people....Plus a nice Hotel....... All the ice things of the Arctic can still be done in a nice way and be wow is that what it used to be like.......Because things are going to change.... Lost of little small mines will not fix it and also require a lot of supervision to ensure working within the rules..... The Government and GML in a way need to get their act together on the message........ Make a nice video of the whole story and the Argument for and against and clearly show how the future is moving. forward .... GML should allocate some money $40Mil for this it is not that hard with the right person in charge of "The Message" "How a Country can Choose to Succeed or Fail" "Go Thor"

Gpoe, I agree and in my opinion what they are doing now is simpling seeding the narrative by providing people something to believe in. IE ‘GGG is playing the victim’. This theme will be built on, become the narrative and people will believe it rather than what has and is actually happening. The opposition to Kvanejfeld is very media savvy. If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.Joseph Goebbels
