Dakota Access Pipeline Too Risky
by Alyssia Veltri, The Grand Island Independent  -  01 MAR 2017
    I am sure you are aware by now of the Dakota Access pipeline in North Dakota. You should also know that it is the worst idea in the world. The online videos of the police blasting activists with water cannons makes me sick and I am appalled that our leaders allowed it. The governors of North Dakota and Nebraska should be ashamed of themselves and their so-called family values pledge. We should be holding the president accountable for choosing polluting profits over our sacred children.
    It’s not right that people can’t have the freedom to assemble in a peaceful demonstration, especially when such hostile actions were taken by local and state governments. I like to remind people of the importance of the Missouri River because it provides water for millions of people. If an oil spill were to occur, it could pollute the drinking water of the Standing Rock native community and travel downstream throughout the country. Our crops, livestock and freshwater are all too important. This also violates historic agreements such as the Treaty of Fort Laramie of April 29, 1868, that describes the boundaries of the Great Sioux nation....

No Immediate Ruling Made on Dakota Access Pipeline Work
by Sam Hananel and Blake Nicholson, AP, Bismarck Tribune  -  28 FEB 2017
    WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge said Tuesday that he'll decide within a week whether to temporarily halt construction of the final section of the Dakota Access pipeline over claims that it violates the religious rights of two Indian tribes.
    U.S. District Judge James Boasberg told lawyers at a hearing that he wants to issue a ruling before oil begins flowing in the pipeline, which could be weeks away.
    Boasberg is considering a request by the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Sioux tribes to order the Army Corps of Engineers to withdraw permission to lay pipe under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. The pipeline has prompted months of protests and hundreds of arrests.
    The stretch under the Missouri River reservoir is the last piece of construction for the $3.8 billion pipeline, which would move oil through the Dakotas and Iowa to a shipping point in Illinois.
    Tribal attorney Nicole Ducheneaux argued during the 1 ½ hour hearing that the mere existence of an oil pipeline under the reservoir that provides water to neighboring reservations violates their right to practice their religion, which relies on clean water.
    Boasberg asked Ducheneaux how there could be a contamination issue if "the pipeline itself doesn't even touch the water."
    "Can you claim a property interest in the land as well as the water?" he asked....

Yurts for medics are among dozens of other dwellings in a camp known as Eagle's Nest, an extension from the Sacred Stone Camp on the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. As of Monday, February 27, medics and others began packing up to leave the months-long movement to try and stop the Dakota Access Pipeline after the Bureau of Indian Affairs issued a trespassing notice to campers.
     
After the Razing at Standing Rock
After the Oceti Sakowin camp is razed at Standing Rock, water protectors scatter, a few stand

Jenni Monet, Indian Country Media Network - 28 FEB 2017
    STANDING ROCK, ND—A large circle had formed around a raging fire fueled by stacks of wooden pallets. Its smoke blew west toward a salmon-colored sun that was disappearing behind a pair of bluffs known as the Twin Buttes.
    Morgan Hale, 30, broke out in song.
    “Father, grandfather, oh help me know, which direction I’m supposed to go…”
    The Nashville resident wore blue braids topped with a black cowboy hat adorned with feathers. Thick, jagged designs were painted around her eyes. She said she had arrived at Sacred Stone Camp fresh off the trail from Burning Man, Nevada’s Black Rock Desert arts festival centered around a temporary community. The Sacred Stone Camp was the first encampment to form behind the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s push to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL).
    “We’ve been fighting a pipeline and fighting racism, all while praying,” said Hale. “It’s compassion, and there’s so much of that here. And as far as I’m concerned, we won already.”...

Arrest of Native American Using Sweat Lodge Was ‘a Misunderstanding,’
Fargo Mayor Says

by Ryan Johnson, Forum News Service, Prairie Business Magazine - 27 FEB 2017
    FARGO — Fargo police will undergo cultural sensitivity training after an officer arrested a man late last week for legally using a Native American sweat lodge in southwest Fargo.
    Mayor Tim Mahoney said a man was arrested Thursday, Feb. 23, night at the sweat lodge, which is on an open patch of land just west of 39th Street South between 36th Avenue South and 37th Avenue South near a city salt and sand storage facility.
   
He said the Fargo Police Department officer, Jacob Rued, saw what appeared to be a large fire at the site and didn’t know about the sweat lodge, which has been there for three or four years. Mahoney said participants use a fire outside to heat stones that are then moved inside the makeshift shelter lined with blankets. It’s shouldn’t have been an issue, the mayor said.

Rued went to check on it and he questioned a man who didn’t want to comply with his orders because he said he had the right to be there, Mahoney said.

The man arrested is Zebadiah Gartner, 20, Mahoney confirmed. He was booked into the Cass County Jail at 10:24 p.m. Thursday and released at 1:41 a.m. Friday, Feb. 24, according to jail records....

North Dakota Pipeline FORCED To Be Shut Down After LEAKING In The Mississippi River Just Like Standing Rock Protesters Warned
Alternative Media Syndicate  -  27 FEB 2017
    This is why water protectors continue to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline, despite freezing temperatures and winter storms.
    In case you missed it, “water protectors” have been camped out near Cannon Ball, North Dakota, since April in protest of the four-state Dakota Access pipeline (DAPL). The pipeline threatens to uproot burial ground, as well as contaminate the Missouri river. It’s because of this that activists have put their lives on the line.
    In recent months, protestors of the DAPL have been maced, tased, shot with rubber bullets, beaten with batons, and even hosed down in freezing temperatures with water cannons. Now, even when it’s below 0 degrees F and snowstorms threaten to take lives, protestors – along with thousands of veterans – remain on the plains to prevent Energy Transfer Partners from continuing the pipeline’s construction....

North Dakota [and BIA] Dismantles #NoDAPL Oceti Oyate Camp
Video URL: https://livestream.com/unicornriot/events/7046185/videos/150255396

Unicorn Riot  -  24 FEB 2017
    Cannon Ball, ND – The water protector camp that for months formed a beachhead against Dakota Access Pipeline construction was destroyed midday Thursday, February 23rd. A combination of law enforcement and military units forced aside the last inhabitants so the remaining structures could be demolished, while a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) helicopter orbited overhead.
    The Army Corps of Engineers’ deadline of Wednesday, February 22nd, demanding water protectors clear out of the main #NoDAPL camp, passed without law enforcement entering the camp, although several journalists were attacked (see our full report).
    The main camp, which several weeks ago hosted thousands of people, known as Oceti Sakowin or Oceti Oyate, often called ‘Oceti’ for short, was dismantled with 46 arrests reported on Thursday (AP)....

As Police Evict Water Protectors, Tribes Vow to Continue the Fight
“This isn’t the end by any means. This is the spark. The whole world is waking up now.”

by Jenni Monet, Yes! Magazine  -  24 FEB 2017
    On Thursday, as North Dakota police moved in with a fleet of bulldozers, Humvees, and armored MRAP vehicles, Gov. Doug Burgum signed into law four bills that would bring harsher punishment for protest-related activity in the state. The bills, his press statement said, were meant to protect landowners’ rights. But for the 46 people arrested that day, their stand was about defending historic treaty territory.
    “We’ve always been around this river, and that’s why we’re here to protect this river,” said Harold Frazier, chairman of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, the sister nation to Standing Rock. “That river brings life to the people.”
    Frazier has become a vocal supporter in the ongoing yet shifting movement to stop the Dakota Access pipeline. Despite Thursday’s razing of the main demonstration camp, Oceti Sakowin, he and dozens of water protectors, or protesters, have vowed to continue the fight to guard the Missouri River from a potential oil spill—if and when the pipeline is completed....

An End and a Beginning at Standing Rock
by Jenni Monet; Reveal, from The Center for Investigative Reporting  -  24 FEB 2017
    It was the kind of operation I had expected, although it happened a day later: a heavily militarized evacuation of the last protesters at Oceti Sakowin, the main camp behind the movement at Standing Rock.
    By midday Thursday, the Humvees and helicopters had moved in and as many as 33 people had been arrested on federal lands managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Another 60 or so people who had defied the corps’ Feb. 22 evacuation order had fled, crossing the frozen Cannonball River to escape arrest.
    The ultimate goal, according to Lt. Tom Iverson with the North Dakota Highway Patrol, was to “speed up this cleanup process.” Iverson was referring to Gov. Doug Burgum’s call to clear the network of camps behind one of the largest indigenous gatherings in history. The stated urgency: spring flooding.
    Starting Thursday morning, bulldozers dug into temporary structures and police slashed open teepee-style dwellings. Like the fast-tracking of the final stretch of the $3.8 billion energy project, the razing was on the radar of President Donald Trump.
    In a White House briefing, press secretary Sean Spicer said the Trump administration had “been involved with the tribe and the governor” about the completion of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL).
    “We are constantly in touch with them,” Spicer said.
    Representatives of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe were quick to deny their portion of the secretary’s remarks....

Indigenous Women of Standing Rock Issue Heartbreaking Plea for Help Ahead of Evacuation
News Mic  -  21 FEB 2017
    With just over a day to go before the evacuation deadline arrives at North Dakota's Oceti Sakowin camp, protesters at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation have issued a plea: Come help — now.
    In a viral video shared by social justice journalist Shaun King on Monday, a group of indigenous women remind viewers that demonstrations against the Dakota Access pipeline are about much more than a single issue. They're about clean water, police brutality, treaty rights and the rights of future generations.
    "In the history of colonization, they've always given us two options: Give up our land or go to jail. Give up our rights or go to jail," one woman says in the video. "And now, give up our water or go to jail. We are not criminals."...

Deadline to Leave Pipeline Protest Camp Won't Be Extended
by Blake Nicholson, The Seattle Times  -  21 FEB 2017
    BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The Army Corps of Engineers said it won’t extend a Wednesday deadline for Dakota Access oil pipeline opponents to vacate their encampment on federal land in North Dakota.
    The camp has existed since August and at times has housed thousands of people who supported the concerns of Sioux nations that the $3.8 billion pipeline to carry North Dakota oil through the Dakotas and Iowa to a shipping point in Illinois threatens the environment and sacred sites. Dallas-based developer Energy Transfer Partners disputes those claims.
    With flooding expected this spring, the Corps on Feb. 3 told the few hundred people remaining in camp that they must take their possessions and leave by 2 p.m. Wednesday.
    Camp leader Phyllis Young said rain Monday hampered that effort, and that Native Americans also took time out for traditional ceremonies related to the weather. Frozen ground also is making it difficult for people to remove tent stakes, she said.
    Corps Capt. Ryan Hignight confirmed that people in camp sought an extension on the deadline to move. But he said the Corps is focused on people’s safety and on the environment....

    Oceti Sakowin, ND – On the morning of Thursday, February 16th, Ladonna Brave Bull Allard, Standing Rock tribal member, landowner and founder of Sacred Stone Camp, was served an eviction notice for Sacred Stone Camp by agents of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. She reportedly has ten days to show that she is not trespassing on her family’s historical land.
    On Wednesday, February 15th, the militarized barricade erected by the Morton County Sheriff on Backwater Bridge on Highway 1806 was moved several yards closer to the main camp near the Dakota Access Pipeline route. The perimeter of armed North Dakota personnel with military vehicles, surveillance teams and floodlights are now within a stone’s throw of the outskirts of the Oceti Sakowin encampment.
    The Army Corps of Engineers had recently issued a February 22nd evacuation deadline for everyone camped at Oceti Sakowin, after which they said they would forcefully evict anyone remaining. North Dakota Governor Doug Burgham issued an evacuation order calling on all present at the Oceti Sakowin camp to leave immediately, stating that the date of February 22 set by the Corps was not soon enough.
    Cleanup has been ongoing for weeks now at Oceti Sakowin and construction crews continue to work all day to clear debris from the floodplain. The camp has shrunk in population considerably in the last few months, with an estimated 500-700 people remaining....

Sacred Stone Camp Given Trespass Notice
by Lauren Donovan and Caroline Grueskin, Bismarck Tribune  -  17 FEB 2017
    The Bureau of Indian Affairs issued a trespass notice to pipeline opponents living at the Sacred Stone Camp — the original protest camp established near the small reservation town of Cannon Ball in April.
    The notice was given to camp founder LaDonna Brave Bull Allard and protesters on Thursday, saying the camp is unauthorized. That's because a two-thirds share of the 370-acre parcel is owned by the federal government in trust for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, which has not authorized people to live there, according to the notice. Allard has claimed family ownership of the camp land, but a BIA title status report from January found she has a 1/15th interest.
    The notice says her beneficial interest does not release her from trespass liability.
    In a video posted online Thursday night, Allard countered that she believed the tribe had given authorization through a resolution passed in support of the camp. The council voted 11-0 in favor on June 8, 2016.
    "They are wrong," Allard said. "Maybe tribal council forgot they passed a resolution to support Sacred Stone."...
Judge Dismisses Trespass Cases Midway through Trial
by Caroline Grueskin, Bismarck Tribune - 17 FEB 2017
    A judge dismissed the criminal trespass charges against three pipeline protesters halfway through their jury trial this morning.
    According to lawyers in the courtroom, the judge found the prosecutor had not shown the land was posted or that the protesters had been asked by an authorized person to leave — at least one of which is required to prove criminal trespass.
    On Friday morning, a jury was picked and the prosecutor put five highway patrolmen on the stand. After that, the three defense attorneys motioned to get the cases dismissed.
    Kent Morrow, who represented one of the women charged, said in an interview after court that the patrolmen testified to people being on private property, but not to anyone with authority over the property telling them to leave.
    "The judge said the law and statute is pretty clear," Morrow said.
    In his defense, Morton County State's Attorney Brian Grosinger argued in court that the protesters should have known the land was private.
    "What I had argued to the judge was I could prove notice by circumstantial evidence," Grosinger said in an interview. "By the circumstances surrounding — considering it was a construction site, the people were wearing masks."
    The three Dakota Access Pipeline protesters were among 22 people arrested at a construction site near Almont on Sep. 13. According to an affidavit filed with the charges, a highway patrol captain "advised the protesters they were protesting and subject to arrest."
    Bruce Nestor, a Minnesota-based attorney representing some pipeline protesters, recently got three trespass cases from the same day dismissed on similar grounds after filing a motion.
    Watching the trial today, Nestor said: "This was the same thing, except here the state wasted the judge's time, the jury's time and brought six highway troopers in from their normal duties to spend half a day at the Morton County Courthouse."
    Grosinger said he would work to prove notice more adequately in future trials.

Judge Orders Trump's EPA Pick to Release Emails by Tuesday
EcoWatch  -  17 FEB 2017
    The Oklahoma County Court on Thursday found Trump's U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) nominee Scott Pruitt in violation of the state's Open Records Act. The Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) filed a lawsuit against Pruitt for improperly withholding public records and the court ordered his office to release thousands of emails in a matter of days.
    In her ruling, Judge Aletia Haynes Timmons slammed the Attorney General's office for its "abject failure" to abide by the Oklahoma Open Records Act.
    The judge gave Pruitt's office until Tuesday, Feb. 21, to turn over more than 2,500 emails it withheld from CMD's January 2015 records request and just 10 days to turn over an undetermined number of documents responsive to CMD's five additional open records requests outstanding between November 2015 and August 2016.
    Thursday's expedited hearing was granted after CMD, represented by Robert Nelon of Hall Estill and the ACLU of Oklahoma, filed a lawsuit that has driven unprecedented attention to Pruitt's failure to disclose his deep ties to fossil industry corporations. On Friday, Pruitt is expected to face a full Senate vote on his nomination to run the EPA....

Oil Pipeline Built at ING Bank Headquarters to Protest Dakota Pipeline
by Janene Pieters, NL Times  -  16 FEB 2017
    On Thursday morning a group of about 20 Greenpeace activists dug room for and planted 15 meters of super heavy pipe sections at the ING headquarters in Amsterdam Zuidoost. They did so to protest against the Dutch bank's part in financing the highly controversial Standing Rock pipeline in Dakota, United States, Het Parool reports.
    The oil pipeline is set to be built through the reservation of the Standing Rock Sioux Native American Tribe, in the north of the U.S. End last year the Obama administration withdrew the licenses and permits for the pipeline. But current U.S. president Donald Trump scrapped that decision as one of is first decrees. It therefore seems that the granting of the permits is only a matter of time.
    With the huge pipeline built right into the ING headquarters' office, the Greenpeace activists want to show what a massive effect such a pipeline can have on your home. "We're giving them a taste of their own medicine", campaign leader Kim Schoppink said to the newspaper.
    The environmental organization is planning to extend their pipeline even further if ING does not change its position....

For many years, Brenda Norrell was a major journalist for (forgive me, Brenda) Indian Country Today (ICT) until they censored Brenda's articles and terminated her without cause. After leaving Indian Country Today, Brenda created the appropriately named Censored News.
   While at ICT, Brenda was a voice for the Dineh (Navajo) people at Black Mesa, Arizona, where bed partners  Peabody  Coal  and  the  BIA  were trying to forcibly remove Dineh residents from their ancestral homes in order to strip mine the land of its coal. That greed took the form of a contrived, fictional "land dispute" between Dineh' and Hopi....

What Is a Worldwide Prayer Gathering?
   Though the specific details may vary from one support group to another, and from one geographical location to another, the essential concept remains the same.

A Worldwide Prayer Gathering is not so much a physical gathering into one physical location as it is the spiritual gathering of individuals and groups from around the world who are of one mind and one accord into one spiritual place for a common purpose, which is to ask for the Creator's help to bring about the circumstances that will accomplish our common goal according to His promise.

LSO MANAGEMENT: What They Are
and What to Do About Them

SENAA International  -  16 FEB 2010
  
Introduction
  
The computing public is becoming increasingly aware of the existence of Local Shared Objects (LSOs), also called "Flash cookies" or "Persistent Identification Elements" (PIEs), the dangers they pose, and the unethical ways that they are placed on our machines. LSOs are the busybodies of  the   Internet,   sticking  their  noses  in   your   personal business  at every opportunity  without  your  knowledge  or consent; and like most busybodies, they're being found out.
   With growing public awareness of LSOs comes a growing demand for effective, real time control of them. Most LSO management solutions offer management or deletion of LSOs after potentially malicious ones have had time to do their damage. Stand-alone LSO management utilities do not offer real time protection, either. This tutorial provides real-time management of LSOs....

Medical Fund for Vanessa (Sioux Z)
GoFundMe - 27 NOV 2016

    Vanessa has been on the front lines fighting DAPL and working security for Oceti Sakowin since September 11. During the action on November 20 at the Backwater bridge, she was intentionally shot in the eye with a tear gas canister from 6 feet away. It was aimed directly at her face by a Morton County officer. She was seen at Bismarck Sanford hospital and released because she had no insurance. She has a detached retina and needs surgery to ensure her vision. She is now seeking medical attention in Fargo. Donations will be used for the cost of the 2 ER visits, surgery, medications, and recovery.

08 December 2016 Worldwide Prayer Gathering Special Prayer

BEGINS: 03:30, 08 DEC 2016
ENDS: When the Judge's Decision Has Been Rendered
LOCATION: Pray from wherever you are. Your prayers will join others.

    SENAA International will be hosting a second Worldwide Prayer Gathering of the month, from 08 December through 09 December 2016 to pray that on Friday, 09 December 2016, the judge will uphold the Army Corps of Engineers' denial of the easement to drill beneath Lake Oahe and the Missouri River; and to pray for protection for those remaining at the Water Protectors camps at Standing Rock, as they brave brutal North Dakota winter conditions
    In addition to prayers for protection for the Water Protectors and Veterans, we ask that you continue your prayers for Vanessa "SiouxZ" Dundon, who sustained serious injury to her eye after being struck in the eye by a teargas canister fired from close range; and for Sophia Wilansky, who faces multiple surgeries after her forearm was almost severed by a concussion grenade thrown at her by a Morton County Sheriff's Deputy or one of the department's hired mercenaries. They are both in need of and deserve our prayers.
    We ask for everyone to lend their spiritual energy to this 2-day prayer vigil.
    One voice singing in an auditorium is sweet to hear, but low in volume. A hundred voices singing in harmony is beautiful and powerful enough to shake the rafters and move the soul.
    Please join us and add your voice to the choir.
    Wado!
