Inside Tasmania has inside information to verify this story. ExxonMobil really did bury a whole village in the New Guinea highlands in 2012 and blamed natural causes.
From Papua New Guinea Mine Watch
There are some disturbing facts buried in the debris of ExxonMobil’s $19 billion liquefied natural gas project in Papua New Guinea, which was funded in part by a U.S. government loan. In 2012, a landslide from an ExxonMobil quarry there killed 27 people — a disaster ExxonMobil and the government of Papua New Guinea declared to be an act of God.
Other evidence, however, paints a very different picture — and also reveals the entire project is fueling civil unrest that may be approaching a boiling point.
Our short documentary, which accompanies an in-depth piece published April 30 in The Nation, looks at what actually caused the landslide in Papua New Guinea.
Exxon announced earlier this week that its liquified natural gas facility in Papua New Guinea has started operating.

We Can Do Better Than Paywall Mainstream Media
Today the World is crippled by debt. Many countries are dictatorships. Corrupt corporations got rich destroying the Earth's climate. Many economies are now unstable. Our current role is exposing Australia's corrupt, self-serving media.
