Members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, over 200 Tribal Nations, and thousands of allies from across the United States and the world have been taking direct action since April 2016 to call attention to the violation of their Indigenous rights, desecration of their lands and waters and the threats to their ecosystem engendered by the Dakota Access Pipeline.

The 1,172 mile pipeline, being pushed by the US Army Corps of Engineers and Energy Transfer Partners is proposed to pass under the Missouri river and Lake Oahe, a vital source of the tribe’s drinking water and ceremonial practice.

In a last stitch effort, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has appealed to the United Nations addressing the human rights commission in Geneva . But it is clear that the case of the Standing Rock Sioux is another shameful example of treaties broken and violated by the U.S. Government under the rule of kleptocracy.

Those in protest, aka the Water Protectors, have remained steadfast, resilient, and Peaceful in the wake of law, military, and private security bullying. Some “law enforcers” have no name tags, rank, or badges as even corrections officers have been deployed. Dogs, mace, stun grenades, batons, and the destruction of their encampment are just a few of the injustices committed against this unarmed movement. Order followers should think twice about their paycheck and who they work for. You can’t drink oil!

The whole World is watching and learning the price that it costs to be brave in a land that claims to be “free”.

Mainstream Media(MSM) chooses to remain silent.
