What Dakota Access Pipeline protesters aren't telling you

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio—With the help of celebrities and professional activists, protests of the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota attracted international attention. The shouting and violence have drawn sympathy from people who are hearing only one side of the story — the one told by activists.

Were the full story to be heard, much, if not all, of that sympathy would vanish.

This article is more to my guesstimates. I always am suspect when I read articles that have phrases like, "Could travel across Sacred burial sites...' or "Could possibly contaminate water..."

I did a search on the title, nodda showed up!

You can count on the Indians to serve their Democrat masters.

Offhand, sounds like somebody wants to up the price.

Facts? We don’t need no stinking facts. All that matters is the narrative.

As politically aware as I am, I had never heard of this controversy.

Yet, it was all that was talked about during Thanksgiving. My mother has bought hook line and sinker into this garbage (I guess it’s a big thing on Fakebook, which I don’t use).

She is the most traditional person you’ll find - not a ex hippie or anything. Yet she actually said we shouldn’t have Thanksgiving anymore because it celebrates the stealing of the Indians land. From there all hell broke loose. LOL!

This is a person who has always voted Republican because of her stances on abortion and traditionalism in general - and knows all about the biased media and political correctness. Yet I was shocked that she’s buying into this crap. We were all stunned.

Although, I think my Bernie Sanders-supporting commie sister (who boycotted our family Thanksgiving dinner) is having a big influence on her through Fakebook.

One local teacher/activist here claimed to have seen the protests and further claimed that “members of the American military fire-hosed women they had stripped naked and put in cages like animals”.

Talk about fake news ...

The tribe moved its water intake up stream away form the pipeline - so the drinking water contamination is a non-issue.

At least it wasn't Fire Water.

Since this is the week of the MSM’s “fake news” frenzy, it is appropriate that we learn - through a local ABC affiliate - that most of the national media coverage of this story qualifies as “fake news.”

What you missed in winter cold this week, 400 of these earth terrorists, charged police lines in Bismark North Dakota, were hit with water cannons in 20 degree cold, and the protestors lobbed rocks and fired slingshot missiles at the police.

For the record, the state of North Dakota should have shut this damn protest down before the election, but coddled (them instead),

who then allied with Soros rent a terrorists, and now it is a mess as locals are armed and afraid of this mob, which was driven off lands a few weeks ago, and now they are attempting to take these lands.

The point is the Obama Justice has been protecting this terrorism, and it has nothing to do with the environment or oil, it has to do with who owns this multi billion dollar pipeline, and did not provide the proper blackmail payments to the Obama cronies.

It always comes down to that.

Here are the players:

Enbridge - Wikipedia
Enbridge, Inc. is an energy delivery company based in Calgary, Canada. It focuses on the transportation, distribution and generation of energy, primarily in North America

Phillips 66 - Wikipedia
The Phillips 66 Company (NYSE: PSX) is an American multinational energy company headquartered in Westchase, Houston, Texas. It debuted as an independent energy ...

Sunoco - Wikipedia
Sunoco is an American petroleum and petrochemical manufacturer headquartered in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, United States, formerly known as Sun Company Inc. (1886 ...

Marathon Oil - Wikipedia
Marathon Oil Corporation is an American petroleum and natural gas exploration and production company headquartered in the Marathon Oil Tower in Houston, Texas

Energy Transfer Partners - Wikipedia
Energy Transfer Partners; Type. Public: Traded as: NYSE: ...

What you have in the above are the old Independent Texas and Pennsylvania oil companies wed again to Canadian oil..........the same situation as Keystone, as what is behind this is the globalists do not want American energy independent, nor Canada piping that oil out. The reason for this is to cripple Canada and America, so the assets could be seized..."

That is what this Obama Soros terrorism is about and has always been about from British Petroleum sabotage in the Gulf of Mexico Gusher to shut down deep well drilling to make American independent of OPEC terror oil, as this is a global chessboard in cripple American under Obama, keep America blowing things up for oil pumped to Europe and China, so a new war with Russia will be started to steal the oil out of Russia.

No one has explained any of this, and it has all been covered up by the major media, because of what this terrorism is really about.

The only good part in this, is Soros is spread thin, in most of these nuts on Standing Rock would be burning down New York, if they were not out in buffalo chip land.

There is not a great deal more to add to this, as this is just about stealing American oil like Obama Soros had ISIS steal Iraqi and Syrian oil.

The Soros cartel simply needs to shut down distribution, so the American companies in record debt, owned by Citibank Saudi Arabia will own it all, and then pipelines would be springing forth all over, as these concerned greenies would disappear... as oil is the marching orders now to seize that asset.

My ex-wife was present at our family Thanksgiving dinner (we get along, and our adult children also want her there), and she mentioned that her ex-boyfriend (a former City of Seattle Human Resources “trainer”), is now with the protesters, although she didn’t know who - if anyone - was paying his expenses.

"From there all hell broke loose. LOL!

lol... I can picture the scene!

I got into Kiteboarding heavy last year and found myself in a pretty decent group of folks from around the Midwest. but since facebook and me squaring off with this issue and a few others, I've managed to alienate myself with the entire group and 3 surf shops! so be it... i'll be damned if I follow the flock when it comes to bullshit !!

What it doesn’t mention is tribal leaders were mad it didn’t go through the Reservation because they wanted the money for the easement/usage rights (lots of money).

I farm near there.

Article says the company moved the water intake 70 miles from the pipeline. Cost about $3 billion.
