U.S. Veterans to form Human Shield at Dakota Pipeline Protest

More than 2,000 U.S. military veterans plan to form a human shield to protect protesters of a pipeline project near a Native American reservation in North Dakota, organizers said, just ahead of a federal deadline for activists to leave the camp they have been occupying.

It comes as North Dakota law enforcement backed away from a previous plan to cut off supplies to the camp – an idea quickly abandoned after an outcry and with law enforcement’s treatment of Dakota Access Pipeline protesters increasingly under the microscope.

The protesters have spent months rallying against plans to route the $3.8 billion Dakota Access Pipeline beneath a lake near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, saying it poses a threat to water resources and sacred Native American sites.

Protesters include various Native American tribes as well as environmentalists and even actors including Shailene Woodley.

State officials issued an order on Monday for activists to vacate the Oceti Sakowin camp, located on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land near Cannon Ball, North Dakota, citing harsh weather conditions.

The state's latest decision not to stop cars entering the protest site indicated local officials will not actively enforce Monday's emergency order to evacuate the camp issued by Governor Jack Dalrymple.

Dalrymple warned on Wednesday that it was "probably not feasible" to reroute the pipeline, but said he had requested a meeting with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Council to rebuild a relationship.

"We need to begin now to talk about how we are going to return to a peaceful relationship,” he said on a conference call.

The 1,172-mile (1,885 km) pipeline project, owned by Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners LP (ETP.N), is mostly complete, except for a segment planned to run under Lake Oahe, a reservoir formed by a dam on the Missouri River.

Veterans Stand for Standing Rock, a contingent of more than 2,000 U.S. military veterans, intends to go to North Dakota by this weekend and form a human wall in front of police, protest organizers said on a Facebook page. Organizers could not immediately be reached for comment.

"I figured this was more important than anything else I could be doing,” Guy Dull Knife, 69, a Vietnam War Army veteran, told Reuters at the main camp.

Thank you. The State Department says the pipeline would only create 35 permanent jobs.

Keystone XL Would Only Create 35 Permanent Jobs

Going full retard again with this "construction jobs are only temporary" bullshit.

Fucking moron. All construction jobs are temporary.

Plus we really need another pipeline so we can export more Canadian oil.

The Keystone has been built to the Gulf for a couple of years now. XL was only going to be a short addition to pick up Bakken crude and transport.

You import Canadian oil because you need it. Number one supplier.

THIS pipeline is designed to move Bakken crude. You really need to get up to speed.

Get away with this kinda stuff? What kinda stuff?

------------------------------------------- i already answered , they protest as is their RIGHT but the fact that they are protesting veterans means nothing to me CCaption .

The fact that it means nothing to you should mean nothing to anyone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------- you sound like a guy thats going to try to live his life trying to impress the girls or guys with your little VETERAN inscribed base ball cap and 'i am a veteran' t shirt CAnarchy

You have no respect for veterans... you're a douche bag. Are you even a U.S. citizen?

----------------------------------------------------------- veterans are alright , i grew up after ww2 and every one of my friends had a DAD that were veteransand i never heard them brag about the fact . They fought the war , lived or died and that was the end of it for them . Course those veterans were the Greatest Generation . But nowadays all these volunteer military that YOU types worship , well I don't think that that worship of veterans or approved groups is good or healthy for the USA or young American minds Lew !!

As if something like you could even begin to relate to their experience.

So you aren't a U.S. citizen? Then how about you eat a big bowl of shut the fuck up? If you aren't a U.S. citizen then you have no room to say a fucking word about U.S. veterans.

It's fucking next to the Missouri River which is what their water source is for the reservation.

Ah, so now it's "next to".....the story changes.

Yeah, like the pipeline wasn't actually going "through" Bismark, but it was still re-routed to protect their water source.

There is another pipeline along that same route, what's the big deal?

The big deal is that is a natural gas pipeline, and if it breaks, no major damage to the water. An oil pipeline is a big deal if it breaks in that reservoir that the Standing Rock Reservation depends on for drinking water and irrigation.

The pipeline company was originally going to route that pipe upstream from Bismark, and the people of Bismark said no way, so they routed it upstream from the reservation. After all, just a bunch of dumb indians there, and who gives a damn.

Well, now they know who gives a damn!

We've got oil pipelines that cross rivers and streams all across this country, none, zip, nada have caused irreparable harm anywhere. This is just more eco-nazi BS.

Tell that to the people in Montana, you lying dumb fuck.

Have you got a link to something I'm not aware of?

I guess the people living in suburban Bismark have more influence than Indians on a reservation. Go figure.

Look, you've done your prog fake anger thing the rest of your ilk can relate to, but by now you know the pipeline is no eco-threat to anybody but the breezy/sunshine moonbats who leave as large a "carbon footprint" as the rest of us. Maybe you'd rather continue paying the Saudis for your oil but we don't and won't any longer. Get aboard or get the hell out of the way.

You must be reading different history books than I have, because it wasn't the American Indians that were the constant aggressors, it was the imperialistic white man that invaded their country, broke every damn treaty, lied to them and treated them like dogs that were the aggressors. I'm a proud American, but the way we treated the American Indians is a fucking disgrace, no if's, and's or but's about it.

It's your leftist crap textbooks that produced this rant ^^^^^^^^. We in the 1-7 Cavalry know our history well. Don't second-guess decisions that were made by professional troopers. They felt they were in danger and acted accordingly. Your romanticized view of the plains indians is a fantasy...they were butchers without regard for anything or anybody but themselves.

My leftist crap textbooks?

You need to learn something here, skippy, I'm probably one of the most HARD RIGHT/CONSERVATIVE VETERANS of EIGHT YEARS MILITARY on this fucking board, so don't give me this "professional troopers" BULL SHIT.

And there's NOTHING, ROMANTIC about how the white man BOWLED OVER the American Indian tribes like they were BARELY THERE. They had the land, WE TOOK IT, if not by LYING and BREAKING TREATIES, then by simply KILLING THEM.

They fought back as best they could, and who the fuck WOULDN'T, but they were NOT the aggressors. They were just trying to hold on to WHAT WAS THEIR'S for HUNDREDS of years, and it was being TAKEN from them.

Go peddle your bull shit somewhere else.

More oil for export. Awesome!

And why would exporting excess oil be a problem for you?

I'm glad you were at the corporate board meeting so you can confirm that.

Ah, so now it's "next to".....the story changes.

Yeah, like the pipeline wasn't actually going "through" Bismark, but it was still re-routed to protect their water source.

You also need an education on this to cut thru the bullshit these assholes are spewing. Standing Rock currently get their water 20 miles away from the pipeline.

But they were given a new intake that is 70 count em 70 freaking miles away.

We don't pay the Saudis shit. Do you have a clue what you are talking about? The U.S. is the largest manufacturer of refined oil in the world...

The U.S. is third in crude oil, and first in refined oil. And the U.S is the largest exporter of refined oil in the world.

Pipelines leak all the time, hundreds of faiures per year that we know of. Many more incidents simply listed as "pipeline maintenance".

off topic -------------------------- but as an example of engineering and SAFELY putting pipelines or tunnels under bodies of water . Checkout the 'chunnel' going from France to England. Its a tunnel under the water with all means of transport going under the English channel body of water . I never saw it , just heard of it . For further info , talk to 'LEWDOG' he is a Frenchman living in France and he and helped to construct the 'CHUNNEL' !! ---------------- off topic info thats interesting and related to putting pipes or tunnels under bodies of water.

Yeah... sure. That's why these fucking people are standing out in the freezing cold and getting hit wit water cannons. For no fucking reason. Do you understand how ridiculous that sounds?

I have a problem with multi national corporations running our government.

 

[tinydancer]

Here's a kicker. Standing Rock was given millions of dollars for a new water treatment plant.

THIRTY count em 30 Million buckolas in 2009.

"The Sioux received about $30 million from the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to build a new water treatment plant, pump station, 5 million-gallon storage tank and several pipelines to feed fresh water to roughly 10,000 reservation residents."

For Standing Rock Sioux, new water system may reduce oil leak risk
