DAPL shut down

Yep, that is right , you read things correctly, not sure what factor finally lead to this, but the final straw may have been thousands of our veterans going to join the protest of that vile thing. The Army corps of engineers put the brakes on and pulled the permission for the land easement for the further work on the pipeline.

The Sioux and other protesters have suffered many trials and stayed true, and now we see a victory over TPTB as they lose out on this pipeline that was being built illegally as they abused laws and regulations to get it built in sections.

The People finally got a break! change comes from the bottom up, and now to watch for the buggers trying another dirty trick. Water won over oil this time!

I see that Len but an air of caution-- Trumpy the Tomato could overturn the decision and it will be back to the drawing board again.

The Protectors and the Vets need to keep the pressure on.

Very true Sol.

Yep Len; it ain't over 'til it's over.

President-elect Donald Trump's advisers are aiming to privatize Native American reservations that contain about a fifth of the nation's oil and gas, Reuters reports.

Two chairmen of Trump's Native American Affairs Coalition told the outlet that they want to put those lands into private ownership, a proposal that would upend historic policies put into place to preserve Indigenous sovereignty. The plan would deregulate drilling, which the coalition says would benefit the tribes who currently have the rights to use the land, but do not own it. In addition to holding about 20 percent of the nation's oil and gas, the lands also include vast coal reserves—all worth an estimated $1.5 trillion.

Chair Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation, told Reuters, "We should take tribal land away from public treatment. As long as we can do it without unintended consequences, I think we will have broad support around Indian country."

Coming just as Native American water protectors cautiously celebrate a hard-fought victory against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), the proposal is another example of Trump's incendiary and divisive policies. Trump has also officially expressed his support for DAPL, making opponents wary that he would reverse any orders that blocked construction on the 1,172-mile project once he gets into office.

They just don't get it, the Native Americans want things to stay unsoiled, un-violated, they know how bad it can get thanks to the lands where the Gov't mined Uranium and poisoned some tribes. Nothing good comes from letting the White Man do as he pleases.

Yes guys, people are truly waking up. I was so happy for the hard won victory although I think you are right the fight has just begun. Our man Trump has invested in that pipeline with other investments all over the world. You can expect he is not going to let go. I do think the Indians and other people has shown enormous strength and resilience in staying the course, I really wish I could be out there to support them.
