I hope the Veterans go back to the Dakota Access Pipeline protest

When goons emboldened by the shareholder and corrupt president attack the protestors I want to see, I want the World to see Veterans on the lines against the goons. I want to hear how and why trump supports the actions against Native Peoples, Veterans, and other sympathizers.

Then I want the protesters to march on D.C.

most were already traveling to the camp when the legal action took place.

KXL is also back on the game board so this is going to be a big fight. The folks who are driving this death train are going to make damned sure that their self fulfilling prophecy of civil war/Armageddon happens and they are so enraptured with this idea that they are going to foist this shit on all living things to have it. Now that the pied piper is in place, here we go fellow rats, we might as well have a good time on our way outta town.

By the end of the vets' mission they were chomping at the bit to do another social action. They were considering Flint, Michigan, but then state funding for Flint was passed.

Will Standing Rock create new vet activist movement?

It's going to be a rough battle from now until we overcome this blight that has befallen all life on earth.

If he attacks those people we need to fight back back shutting down D.C.

Witty signs need to be replaced by people who shut down streets, buildings, and other D.C. infrastructure. I'm not insulting the march this weekend. It was great nad sent a powerful message. I am suggesting an Action this time in lieu of a symbolic protest. Actors can peacefullly do this if they want. People can lock themselves to machines and people can jam the gears of D.C.

Action must be taken if a shareholder can order goons to attack protesters trying to defend water.

Trump immediately fired the head of the DC National Guard. No doubt to install one of his flunkies for just such a situation.

The Vets could show up, but the corporation could pay to have the internet scrubbed of all reference to it. No one would know, and we know the mainstream media won't be sending anyone to cover it.

The internet as a means of protest is about over, printing fliers in someone's basement will soon be more effective until they make that illegal too.

"The Bismarck Tribune reported that the former Cannonball ranch of David Meyer, along with the Wilder Ranch to the south have both had buffalo quarantined after discovering the illegal use of Chlorophacinone, also known as ROZOL. The Cannonball Ranch was sold to Dakota Access by Meyer’s months ago for a reported $18 million.

The illegal use of ROZOL in the area dates back to April when six bald eagles and bison were found dead at the Wilder Ranch. The Environmental Protection Agency led an investigation into the deaths and found that over 40,000 pounds of ROZOL had been illegally used on 5,400 acres of land from both ranches.

ROZOL is commonly used to poison prairie dogs by placing the poison in their burrows. However, the investigation performed by the EPA discovered that ROZOL was not applied correctly, as the blue pellets were found all along the ground. Also, instead of going through and routinely gathering the dead prairie dogs, the bodies were left where they had died."

Trump/GOP are such scum. They have to have every bit of oil. They have to have every fucking gold coin for themselves. This will already be the crucible-because there are/were so many passionate about this. And that was before Trump. Already the feeling is growing-we have nothing to lose.
