The Beginning is Near: The Deep North, Evictions and Pipeline Deadlines



In short, this is a moment of extreme corporate rights and extreme racism confronted by courage, prayers, and resolve. This moment has been coming. The violence and the economics of a failing industry will indeed unravel, and this is the beginning.

Fossil Fuels: As the struggle evolves, we will increasingly confront martial law. Perhaps that time is here now: Tyranny at Standing Rock. via John W Whitehead, Counterpunch

Tyranny at Standing Rock
John Whitehead - Counterpunch

"What we’re witnessing at Standing Rock, where activists have gathered to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline construction on Native American land, is just the latest incarnation of the government’s battle plan for stamping out any sparks of resistance and keeping the populace under control: battlefield tactics, military weaponry and a complete suspension of the Constitution.Militarized police. Riot and camouflage gear. Armored vehicles. Mass arrests. Pepper spray. Tear gas. Batons. Strip searches. Drones. Less-than-lethal weapons unleashed with deadly force. Rubber bullets. Water cannons. Concussion grenades. Arrests of journalists. Intimidation tactics. Brute force.This is what martial law looks like, when a government disregards constitutional freedoms and imposes its will through military force."

Climate scientists emphasize high stakes of the 2016 election

High stakes yes, and now with Trumpism the struggle must be deepened and intensified.

Fossil fuels, racism, and violence. Wisdom from those on the front lines.
