While Trump is busy targeting Mexicans and Muslims, his new adviser and current governor of North Dakota has just given the green light to “shoot on sight” Indigenous tribes that are peacefully protesting against the Dakota Access pipeline, according to Anarchic News.
Latest news that isn’t out there yet is that last night hundreds of cops from various agencies came with lots of flatbed semis and took out all of the construction equipment. The workers left and in doing so disassembled the construction site. Now though homeland security has taken over, LEGALLY, and the situation and the level of threat has been bumped up. This means they consider this a terrorist action and have the authority to shoot on sight.

Federal Judge: No Decision Until at Least Sept 9 on Dakota Access Case
Federal Judge: No Decision Until at Least Sept 9 on Dakota Access Case
WASHINGTON – Federal District Judge James E. Boarsberge said he will not render a decision on the lawsuit brought by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Dakota Access, LLC.
He indicated that the central legal issue is whether or not proper tribal consultation occurred between the tribes and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Judge Boarsberge said there appears to have been a lack of communication between the Corps of Engineers and the tribes and the failure on the Corps of Engineers’ part to perform the due diligence in the process in the development of the project.
The judge will render his decision on September 9, 2016 and he set September 14 as a date for appeal if either side is not happy with his decision.
In today’s order, there was no injunction rendered, which means construction and drilling can continue.
