American Patriots Rally to Battle US Army

(Before It's News)

By Deborah Dupré

Overnight, an unprecedented united front of left and right American patriots nationwide vowed to stand against the US Army in what could be the beginning of a full-scale US uprising. Internet news about grassroots actions by US Army Veterans and others from all walks of life show planned actions increasing by the hour. Many people have already begun removing  funds from their banks. The mobilization has been prompted by the Department of Army announcing its decision late Tuesday to disregard American families’ need for clean water and instead, grant final easement for the Dakota Access pipeline (DAPL) to go beneath the Missouri River. Yesterday’s decision violates treaty law, completely ignores the environmental analysis, and rams through project construction without the standard legislative comment period.

With this US Army action, the courts waived the standard 15-day legislative comment period. That means the easement can be granted as early as tomorrow.

“This is a dangerous attack on our water,” said Earth Guardian, a non-profit advocating for the people. “We need everyone to act now to insure that this pipeline does not get built under the Missouri River, threatening the people of Standing Rock and the millions of Americans who live downstream.”

Republican and Democrat families are battling together for untainted water.

Energy Transfer Partners is the company overseeing the pipeline project. Its reports from 2015-2016 show three major spills each month, tainting water and air, poisoning Americans, with its new technology and safeguards.

US Veterans, both Democrats and Republicans, have mobilized to help lead the front against violent actions taken to injure water protectors and now, the US Army’s decision. Below, veterans speak about why they have turned against US militarized police and private contractors injuring water protectors.

Two examples today highlighted by Friends of the Earth via the Resist Trump Network, today, Wednesday, February 8: An action at the White House in Washington, D.C. from 5-6pm Eastern, and also a day-long action at the federal building in San Francisco.

But there are many additional protest actions today, and in days and weeks ahead, so check #NoDAPL 2017 Action Hub for date(s), time(s), and location(s) of protest action(s) nearest you. This is also known as http://everydayofaction.org/

Another big one is one month from now: Native Nations March on Washington, D.C. on Friday, March 10th, as announced by Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Chairman, Dave Archambault II: “The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and tribes across the country invite allies in America and from around the world to join the march.

“We ask that our allies join us in demanding that Congress demand a fair and accurate process,” Archambault II said. “Our fight is no longer at the North Dakota site itself. Our fight is with Congress and the Trump administration. Meet us in Washington on March 10.”

  • American uprising brewing? Is tha what Trump was really meant to do?

    • Among other things, I think so. It’s worth noting that he’s extremely financially invested in the construction of the pipeline.

      • It’s becoming more clear by the week that Trump’s role isn’t to “make America great again”, but to put the final nails in the coffin of what’s left of our republic. Oh—and that wall he’s going to build…well, Hitler though it was a good idea to build a wall too. Let’s just say its function can be two-fold; it can help keep illegal migrants out, but it can also be used to keep citizens from fleeing.

        • Why are there only THREE people on this site that are critical thinkers?

      • Name 1 thing in life that is NO Financial Investment for someone? This criminal mindless cult is FEAR MONGERING on something that is not here today! Just like these lowlife whores, what are they Profitting $ on? Yeah they are! They want to “Control” the water so they can resell it for profit to others! So you see, even this criminal unamericana group of lowlife cult minddwellers have you fooled!

      • Warren Buffet is extremely invested in not having a pipeline built. He owns the railway cars the oil is currently shipped in.
        Build the pipeline.

    • It’s all about creating enough chaos to justify the creation of a police state. Obama and Trump are working hand in hand in this. They are both NWO tools.

      • Just me – I tend to agree. Recent history shows us following the blueprint.

  • Fake Story!

    Honest To God Patriots of America and Veterans are Not doing this. They only have 2 and they are stating “all” veterans.

    This is nothing but a small price to build this pipeline for the benefit of ALL AMERICANS! Those protesting are Traitors of American Self Reliance and are Democratic mindless Cult Members. These lowlifes are only worrying about their OWN PERSONAL INTERESTS; NOT THAT OF THE NATION! Their is a major difference.

    By allowing this pipeline, Americans will not have to worry as much on Middle East oil, and if in a time of war and jobs, all will be from inside America. What mindless lowlifes that I hope are purged from America for their self centerness and self interests. What do you expect from drug crazed, uneducated lowlifes? If you love America, you’ll see the benefit of self reliance trumps 50 Wacko jobs who are cult followers.

    • Lou

      Thank you…at last, some sanity…you are absolutely right!

    • mitch51

      Every story is fake on the internet.

      • You’re an Absolute IDIOT “Snitch” if you really do believe that EVERY Story or Report everywhere on the internet is Fake !!!

    • Make that thousands of patriots and thousands more veterans, and more by the day.

      The toxic poisoning of drinking water for a few million Americans is a small price to pay? Not if it’s your drinking water. THERE (not their) is a major difference.Traitors of American self reliance? No, wind, solar and other renewable sources are more than enough – using them would be self reliance.

      You apparently don[‘t know that most of this oil would be exported for the profit of the oil companies. The wars are for foreign oil, which we don’t need. There are far more jobs in the renewable sector than in the fossil fuel sector already, and there will be more as fossil fuels die off due to economic reality.

      Your characterization of people who oppose your view, and your incoherence (50 Wacko jobs who are cult followers) suggests maybe you’re the drug crazed, uneducated lowlife. “Purging from America” is classic dictator worship. Crawl back under your rock, Nazi.

      • What planet are you from?
        Reality is MUCH different here on Earth, than the outright LIES you spew.

      • Paul Brown. Just looking at your photo proves everything. You’re a uneducated dork wannabe. Glad you didn’t reproduce…

        America needs to be self running. All you and these deadbeat traitors are “water”? Seriously? That proves your a uneducated moran wannabe!

        All you have to do is 1 – Burn the water/oil to generate heat. Then you just have to easily distill it to get clean water. You sir are the reason why America is where its at. What would your really want right now? Distilling or filter water, or no gas for power to protect America’s self interests? What else need to be said?

        All of you’s are only worrying about yourselves, and you’re taking a dump on America. Seriously?

        Everything in life, not your single view is the only way. You are a troll and a Snowflake who don’t look past your views…

    • Fake Commneter Anonymous.

      1. Your numbers of veterans is false and it’s obvious you know that, so it’s obvious you’re here just to discredit, something trolls excel at doing. That is not to say, of course, you are a troll, but you are leaving almost nothing but fake statements here – and my hunch is – probably elsewhere.

      2. Your myth about the DAPL oil being for Americans and good for Americans is no more than that – a myth, a fantasy. You are simply stating propaganda that oil barons do so to avoid as much opposition to their dirty,hazardous, unhealthy fuel. TRUTH: The truth is that the fossil fuel industry notoriously lies as does the military that defend it instead of Americans. Fro the Intercept:

      “In December, Congress lifted the 40-year ban on crude oil exports.

      “We track [Dakota Access Pipeline] and the export dynamics closely,” says Bernadette Johnson, the managing partner at Ponderosa Advisors, an energy advisory firm. Johnson notes that the pipeline provides a “competitive option” to bring Bakken barrels to the Gulf Coast, where “some of it may be exported.”

      The Intercept also reviewed regulatory filings that suggest some of the oil transported by the Dakota Access Pipeline will be shipped overseas — [contrary to what they say.]

      When reached for a comment, a spokesperson with the pipeline project declined to defend the firm’s earlier statements about “100% domestic consumption.” https://theintercept.com/2016/09/01/dakota-access-export/

      3. Everywhere oil is extracted from the Earth, people suffer and many die early deaths from cancer and other “environmental diseases.” Do you think the oil profiteers (such as Trump) really care on bit about the health and safety of Americans? Perhaps you don’t get that the oil is being fracked out of the Earth? Fracking is destroying and slow or quick-killing Americans all ofver the nation.

    • Deborah Dupre does not write fake stories. Therefore, you are suspicious in my eyes.

  • How much do Americans have to be hurting from their rulers to wake up and stop this?
    New findings (http://www.vox.com/2016/3/1/11127424/trump-authoritarianism) reported in esamizdat (sample issues and free subscription at [email protected]) report that authoritarianism is on the rise in the US. As people become frightened by reality or fear-mongering propaganda, they seek leaders like Trump, who typifies classic authoritarian leadership style: simple, powerful, and punitive.
    Only a populace who have been trained to think criticallly can avoid the authoritarian mindset and reject Trump’s fake popularism. Naturally, our corrupt leadership is doing everything it can to rig the educational system against critical thinking.

    • Dr. Brown, Thank you for your deeper analysis about critical thinking as linked to fear and education. Is it too late to recover this?

    • :idea: :idea: :arrow: PAul – YOU are the uneducated troll here, with a single mind controlled and you don’t even see it! Da!

      Did you ever hear of water “Distilliing”? Regardless what is in the water, oil, poop, pee, etc, it all gets 100% purified back to water once you boil it and catch the vapor! My god, you and this bunch sure have not idea about anything!

      First – you are only “Assuming” it MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN! The sky might fall someday, so does that mean with all need to start building pillars and a roof to stop it from falling on us? Or do we all need to wrap ourselves up in bubble packing all the time so we are protected from something that might hurt us IN THE FUTURE?

      America needs to be self running FIRST OVER “What MIGHT HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE”. All you and these deadbeat traitors want is “water”? Seriously? That proves your a uneducated moran wannabes UnAmerican in your hearts and souls, that have YOUR self interests ahead of America, and all America stands for!

      • they are suppressing free energy and have withheld 6000 patents that would free us from oil dependence you fucking scumbag troll. rot in hell you oil protecting loser.

        • Isn’t it time to move past the “they have surpassed free energy” that many alt news sites love to harp on and move into a realm that is instead empowering?

          No, those alt news sites prefer for you to keep being controlled by them and whining about them and some energy form that is not doable right now – instead of tapping into what is very doable right now: solar, electric vehicles run on your own solar batteries, wind, water turbines. Other developing nations are doing it because they demanded it.

          People in those other countries are not controlled by mainstream news and alt news sites distracting them from clean energy and having them believing that fossil fuels are the only way and a way worth killing other people to have. This is what’s insane. It’s past time for Americans to grow up and become empowered – first by stop whining about “they suppress free energy.” Get a solar panel, one at a time if need be. Take the power away from them. Do something useful, clean and healthy.

  • So they have thought to build one superior force, “they have become one of us”… :cool:

  • Quote: “You think they would rape an eight year old girl an post it to isis fanatics.” en-quote.

    Dare you answer that, an know for sure, NOT…
    We dare you ask. :neutral:

    • Veins~ forming rivers of blood. :mad:

    • Yeah and think 1 more is too much. They are only Fear Mongering something that might happen, but what do you expect from toothless leeches, who only collect welfare money, drink beer, and wipe their behind with dried corn cobs. Why waste the Gov money other then staying wasted.

    • Thanks and yes, that’s why so many Americans have said ENOUGH to the dirty fossil fuel industry destroying the nation. You cannot keep extracting that way and have a safe healthy country.

  • Yes, yes.

    You have been debunked already. After agreeing the pipeline was OK and they built it they called off the agreement to make it into a rallying cry of making America into a TURD world nation.

    In the leftist dreams all nations must be in a TURD world condition or they cannot rule you with an IRON FIST!

  • its been way past time for us to take what belongs to the people the gov. continues to pass laws giving themselves more power so what do we do when the courts are working against us in favor of gov. they will just pass laws saying they can do whatever they want well people the time is now we need the right moment for the people to come together to fight the real enemy world gov.

    • Thank you godspell. Just one thing though. The government already passed its laws to make it above the law and anything not covered in those, presidents now and the Bush/Obama regime just broke the laws anyway – including international laws regarding wars. torture… with 100% impunity. I think this isin’t just about the pipeline. It’s about Trump, USA PATRIOT ACT, NDAA, killing for oil and detaining and torturing innocent people… all the human and Constitutional rights that have been removed from Americans.
