when you can SEE that the roof is going to cave in - timbers to prop it up lay all about - and no one will hand you one to prevent the collapse? With all the blather of late - about preserving culture and staving off the plunder of the very dirt we stand on - one only has to look at how we've treated the REAL Americans to get a glimpse of what our ultimate demise will look like.

Most of the "people " in this country if they were to take a hard look at this injustice and absolute "Shame", and were to some how link what happened at this sacred site, they would come to realize, that what happen's to the Indigenous People, will and has happened to them and is being placed everyday right in front of there bleary eyed faces, but they don't connect the dots.

All they see and hear is a cover of misinformation is being created to blame the human beings that are trying to save you from themselves, they the Indigenous and there supporters, exposed the absolute hypocrisy of what this occupation is all about, it was and is front and center and North Dakota is absolute disgrace when it comes to human rights, they failed.

A prime example of this is not Alex Jones or Faux News but a right wing site called TheRebel Media, which I recently discovered. Where are they getting there funding? That is the question that I am asking, they too are just as dangerous as the Alex Jones and Faux News of the world, and in my opinion more so, because they are under the radar, and they can just spew sh*t just like Frank Lutz, Tucker Carlson.

They cannot see or understand that what happens on the "reservation" (I hate that word it is so demeaning, it reminds me of internment camps) is happening all across the country, they cannot put two and two together, to see how beholden fascists are to greed and how that greed is and has no empathy to culture or human beings, wildlife, planet, water, nothing, its about spoils and to attain those spoils at the costs to life.

it might have a hint of dignity to it if the truth of it wasn't so abysmal. A "Reserve" would seem to suggest something respected and recognized. But it's just a cover word - a frosting if you will - for injustice.

There are no benefits to the US by letting this danger pass through our states carrying a high risk of major pollution of ground water and farm land. It is not worth endangering our future when these pipelines are 100% guaranteed to break and leak over time? NO.

Why are we risking these problems when this dirty oil will not be used by us but shipped out via the Gulf to other lands, and is owned by Canada? When will we realize that renewable resources are the only way to insure our future energy needs?....

This is another unreasonable thing we have to fight because of "short sighted businessmen". Call Congress and anyone you know who might have some influence. Even if they are one of those shortsighted businessmen.

Joni Mitchell - Chinese Cafe'

...Uranium money
Is booming in the old home town now
It's putting up sleek concrete
Tearing the old landmarks down now
Paving over brave little parks
Ripping off Indian land again
How long how long
Short sighted business men
Ah nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long...
