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
Son of Weasley is a climate change activist!
Apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree.
Shades of the VVAW
Most Marines have the common sense to steer clear of bullshite like this. I guess he was dropped on his grape when he was a baby.
Cut off their access to fossil fuels. Let them build their own windmills for heat.
Isn’t Wesley Clarke the one who almost started World War III and we were only saved because of the quick thinking of Singer James Blunt?
I’ll say!
Bad genes will tell.
I do not believe these guys are Vets.....maybe want-a-b’s but not real vets....real Vets have a lot more brains...
and sons of SorosNazi are trained and in place to carry on SorosNazi’s destructive, antiAmerican policies too
you can tell a tree by the fruit it bears
the fruit (or nuts) seldom fall very far from their trees, no matter how rotten same are
Absolutely! LOL.
Where there’s a protest check. It looks like they are getting past the “B” list and well into the “C” list when they announce the attendance of Son of Weasel.
IDK.
I only remember he was incompetent.
LOLOLOLOL.
The Weasely Clarke family are mental defectives and belong in either Cuba or an insane asylum.
My father worked in the Pentagon...had dealings with Clark. Dad never liked him.
The son of the Butcher of Belgrade - surprise!
These are the ten percenters also known as “shitbirds.”
If I remember correctly Clark runs a company someplace near Russia, energy company. .....got the post from Clintons I think. I remember some kind of scandal about bribery.
He makes me ill if I see him on TV....cannot change the channel fast enough.
