Last night I watched live feeds as the white man fired rubber bullets on people trapped on a North Dakota bridge, unable to leave,
subjected to water cannons under below-freezing temperatures, sustaining serious
injury by tear gas, their ears deafened by MRAP sound cannons,
all for the crime of protecting the water for future generations, and for saving their sacred sites. Protecting them from the inroads of a
corporation bent on exploiting fossil fuel all the while the climate is
collapsing, with the atmosphere now saturated with more than 400 PPM of carbon
(the threshold being 350 PPM).
Try to call the Whitewash House to call off the Resident’s and the oil company’s dogs, but the Resident is asleep, the office is closed. The Justice Department is closed for business. Try later. Call easternstandardtime 9 am to 5 Pm Monday. This message will be monitored for quality control but will not be recorded. Good bye.
How many more injuries will be sustained during this night
of horror while America sleeps huddled in doorways, trying to stave off the
cold, how many deaths before Governor Dalrymple of North Dakota calls off his
hounds, before the Army Corps of Engineers takes a stand, before the DAPL
re-routes the pipeline from hell away from First Nations' sacred sites?
How many traumatized children and women and men, before Maitreya
appears? How long oh lord, how long
before the world is ready to receive thy saints?
The below 10 minute raw footage is from a Drone camera. Around 5:20 in you will see water cannon attacks that are incredible! The entire piece, however gives you the lay of the land, the fires that were started to keep people warm, even water cannon attacks on the drone itself!
To keep an eye on live news you please use the #NoDAPL hashtag on twitter, or go to the Indigenous Environmental Network's feed!
