Jesse Jackson made an appearance at the highway 1806 road block setup by protesters over the weekend. Jackson also gave a speech that compared the natives struggle to the citizens of flint Michigan with their water crisis. He also bought up the natives struggle with the US government seizing their lands in the past.
“They have lost land for settlers to farm, more land for gold in the Black Hills, and then again even more land for the dam that was built for hydropower. When will the taking stop?”
He also promised to bring reinforcements back to the Camp in North Dakota once the elections were over.
Actor Mark Ruffalo also spoke about the actions of law enforcement.
“They are very antagonistic to people trying to save their water, they’re made out to be criminals. But each time they hit us, they lose. The more quiet and serene we are in the depth of that violence, the faster we win,” he said. "That’s where our strength is: We’re right and they know we’re right. It’s scary. I’m scared, but when we come together our fear drops."
any time Jackson shows up my red flag shows up. but I would like to point out that there is a legitimate concern for the new spot where this is crossing the Missouri as well and if it breaks it will effect way more than the rez. I do think that as usual certain groups with sincere concerns are being used to foment a bigger agenda. the players now showing up raise that suspicion even more.
This is a totally paid for protest that is specifically designed to protect Bill Gates investment in the Canadian National (CN) rail way and Warren Buffet's investment in the Burlington Northern (BNSF) rail way both of which transport mega barrels of oil from Canada to the US and contribute lots of $$ to Obama/Clinton Foundation, DNC etc...wake up libtards, you're being used!
I hear ya. The more attention this gets in the media the more likely it's being run by one of these George Soros foundation operatives.
Totally agree! The average libtard is completely unaware of the insidious Democrat donor corruption enriching the Clintons, Wall St and to keep the list short lets just lump the rest of the filth into the title of the the "establishment".
