The son of retired U.S. Army General Wesley Clark heads a veterans’ group committed to preventing law enforcement from evacuating Dakota Access Pipeline protesters. The group plans to arrive at the encampment Sunday.
The group will supplement the few veterans who already arrived at one of the encampments earlier in the week and and demanded that law enforcement lay down their firearms.
Wesley “Wes” Clark Jr. and former U.S. Marine Michael Wood Jr. lead Veterans Stand for Standing Rock. Clark’s father was also a 2004 Democratic presidential primary candidate.
The younger Clark graduated from Georgetown University and served four years in the Army before moving to Hollywood to pursue a writing career. (He does not appear to have any screenwriting credits in his 20-year career.)
Clark, whose Facebook page lists his interests as “history, music, gaming, futurology, foreign affairs, sex and saving the planet,” is a climate activist who protests against oil companies .Law enforcement claims he “supports activists who commit crimes to stop oil pipelines, which he believes is supported by his Christian beliefs.”
He claims the Standing Rock protests are more about issues related to clean water and the U.S. Government acknowledging a promise to pay the tribe revenue created by a river dam. Clark has claimed he would “instantly” turn over to police any protesters committing violence, but then claimed it’s the police who are instigating violence.
However, the North Dakota Veterans Coordinating Council sent a letter to the “Veterans Stand for Standing Rock” group asking them not to go to the southern part of the state where the protest camps are located, the Associated Press reported, because tension would likely increase and place a burden on law enforcement, Council president Russ Stabler said.
Stabler, who said that the Council has no opinion on the pipeline, also said the veterans coming to Standing Rock have been misinformed and should not be advancing a movement that has “broken laws, destroyed property and attacked law enforcement.”story continues
Chip off the old block!
Some folks dream of future power and plot accordingly
(re: cut off all fuels Remember, wood is made possible by the Sun as well)
How could they send smoke signals then?
Low lifes. You don’t use the uniform for that crap.
If he does not have any screen writing credits, then he did not have a 20-year “career.”
Clark and his son are both weird.
Son of Clark, in service to the sheiks.
JMHo
I see the order to evacuate still stands.
Mother nature will enforce it. Supposed to be a below zero cold snap next week. We’ll see how well they do.
How that guy made it as far as he did is beyond belief.
Strong winds and below 0 temperatures move in next week. Wind chill 40 to 50 below.
Your memory serves you well.

Bury My Fart at Wounded Knee?
Veterans are no different from anyone else with the sole exception that they served in the armed forces at one time. We are no better and no worse than anyone else, and we are entitled to no better or worse treatment than anyone else. Many vets are good people who were made better by their service, and some are terrible people who were made worse by their service.
A nation that no longer understands true heroism has fallen into a foolish, carte blanche worship of its police, firemen, military and veterans simply because they wear (or once wore) a uniform. It is a vacuous practice, and potentially a very dangerous one. Judge every man by his actions and the content of his character; otherwise, bow down and worship your soon-to-be master.
Did SOW, son of Weasely, walk or bike from Follywood to minimize his carbon footprint.
Or did he fly and rent a car like the lesbian whatever council person from Oakland, Ca.?
Just idiots and nothing more.
Old Wesley likes that Soros money.
He’s been taking it for years.
Lincoln had McClellan we have ole Wes same strain of traitor.
