Not stated but implied in the essay is the immunity of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe from lawsuit. It would seem that all the organizational participants are at fault for trashing the grounds, defaming the company, etc.
And BTW, who is cleaning up the Sacred Stone Camp? The few Indians, though at a distance from the camera, look dismayed and up against some hard, unpaid work. (I used to think hippies were cool, and now I think people who are self-disciplined and hard-working are not really hippies.)
I am not sure about the wisdom of putting a crude oil pipeline under a lake and through a regions water aquifer. I have not followed this case closely, but Indians do seem to have a point of being a Sovereign Nation, or is that just something the Federal Govt can wipe away when Gold is found, or an oil pipeline needs ROW to go through your perpetual lands per ‘Treaty’, and a promise no oil will ever be spilled…. Family has a few TN Cherokee relatives that experienced the Jackson treatment, so I am a little more of the Missouri persuasion - Show Me…that there is not a much better compromise for the pipeline path.
Pipelines are the safest form of transportation. To be permitted, the DAPL was required to meet the highest standards of pipeline construction. Leak detection and flyover visual detection were requirements for DAPL. I asked Grok what the probability was of the DAPL leaking into the lake, and the answer was: "The probability of DAPL leaking into Lake Oahe is likely 0.0001% to 0.001% per year (1 in 1,000,000 to 1 in 100,000). Over 50 years, that’s a cumulative 0.005% to 0.05% chance—tiny, but not zero." Thanks for reading and for your comment CactusMatt32. Ed
Thanks for sending your video answering the question about the lawsuit. It is Greenpeace's fault that they are being sued. It is actually surprising that they have only been sued a few times before when they could have sued many times. However, this time, Kelcy Warren is not going to give up. He is serious about putting Greenpeace out of business.
I agree, they often cross the line into eco-terrorism. I have no issue with protestors, it’s the American way all the way back to the Boston Massacre. It is very much a fundamental freedom of speech, and it works. But when you cut fences, destroy equipment, steal supplies, you have crossed that line.
