I’m siding with the natives, fuck fossil fuels.
Of course they’ll ignore them! This is the race that is still sitting on
their stolen land, yet has the staggering lack of self awareness to be
complaining about immigrants to the land that the stole in the first place.
If the Sioux are lucky, they’ll receive a compulsory purchase order on
their land. America has shown time and again that invading foreign nations
causes them no discomfort whatsoever.
LOL Act of war, we allready won the war when we stole their land. Fuckin
redskin whiners
Evil white people committed genocide against the “peaceful” Native
Americans. White people invented germs that killed all those “peaceful”
Native Americans who were constantly warring with one another, eating human
fleash, scalping their enemies, and performing human sacrifice around the
clock.
Environmentalism is a front for communism. Fuck the savage Native
Americans.
Most of these “Native Americans ” are white now.. There not even the
original
“The earth is our mother”? Ugh.
Of course liberals put up with this nonsense.
Cenk, this is the third story on South Dakota in as many months. Did you
know the voters in Fall River County, South Dakota, gathered signatures to
put a proposed fracking waste dump on the last election ballot and those
ballots remain locked and uncounted to this day as the oil companies are
trying to use legal maneuvering and a corrupt State Government to open the
site and leave the votes uncounted. There is a greater reason the Sioux
Nations oppose this. The reservations are at the base of a natural drainage
basin that has historically deposited mining waste on the reservations and
in their water. Energy is why Anna Mae Aquash was killed back in the 70’s,
she spoke up about uranium mining. This is also the same area that the
Wounded Knee Uprising took place. Not only is a fracking dump proposed to
be built but they are starting to frack for uranium there also…literally
right there…just on the other side of the county. All this above a huge
natural spring system. I could go on and on, having been elected to a City
Council seat in the area twice I can tell you there is no end to the
corruption in that State. I wish you could talk about this ballot
issue….the folks in that county worked so hard to get it in the ballot
and even the States Attorney agreed that it was all done correctly and
could be voted on. Now he is on the outs with the powers that be but he is
hang tough. The votes are locked up in a room…this is wrong. Cenk, can
you please help them out?
The actual facts of the pipeline gets hidden by two form,s of bullshit. On
the Republican side is acting like this is going to help make us energy
independent (it isn’t) and it’s going to create a ton of new jobs (it will
create some, but not permanent and then there’s not many). Basically, this
is Republicans trying to give something to their donors to make them a lot
of money as a thank you.
On the Democrat side, they deny that it’s more efficient and energy saving
to transport over a pipeline than via train or trucks. And there should be
no environmental problems.
So basically, while the Republicans are serving up a bunch of lies about
why it’s so desperately needed, there’s really no reason not to build it
either, so why not just do it? It may end up being a slight plus, both
environmentally and at least for a few jobs.
And some racist americans have the audacity to complain about illegal
immigration when they are still living in illegally stolen land and still
oppressing its natives . Native Americans also had immigration laws and
were nations of laws as well. The ironic thing is that many of these
“illegal” immigrants are native american also . Like a great native
american seattle chief said : one day the white man will experience the
same that he has begotten in this earth and he will suffer what every non
white man has gone through due to the white mans hands. Nature will bring
justice to what has been done wrong in the past and the land that has been
afflicted will be brought back into balance and the white man cast out as
they to have cast out so many . The law of karma exist and the natives
knew it . One should not live with hate but with the understanding that
we are all one .
i have no hate of white people , i am also half white and half native
american but the truth is that many racists are hellbend on destroying
instead of healing
Tribalism is a joke. We shouldn’t cater to these people. Let alone give
them their own “sovereign nation”
I want to preserve your tribal culture just like I want to preserve
Confederate culture….. I don’t want to preserve Confederate culture.
I feel shitty for the natives it sucks. but for fuck sakes everytime
something happens in canada the “cheifs” always get pissed because they see
dollar signs in it and every one else in the tribe gets totally ripped offI
so from personal experience really dont trust the cheifs at all
pipeline- we have to progress, and unless you want another disaster like
the bp oil crisis this has to be the next reasonable step. you cant go from
0- 100 you need some adjustment along the way technologically
do you want oil to spill on land where the pipe line can be shut off
minimizing cleanup environmental damage and profit loss, aswell as the
millions of dollers that it costs to cleanup which I’m sure your aware
usually falls on tax payers or would you like it to spill in our precious
ocean which makes up most of our planet. fossil fuel is here to stay untill
a more reliable environmentally friendly method becomes available which
eventually will be the go to fuel and can be used across the planet, Im
not holding my breath that, that will happen in my life time, so maybe all
the millions of ignorant fucks who LOVE to feel awesome about themselves
when they complain about shit thats actually a lot better off then what
they had before, maybe try DOING something to actually help, maybe look
into engineering something usefull, learn about alternative energy sources,
but your complaints mean nothing to no one because nobody reads them and
nobody cares.
First of all.
Bullshit.
It’s ONLY the Sioux and Lakota who are against the Pipeline.I have Choctaw
ancestry and most of our tribal members in Oklahoma support the Pipeline
because it would not only help us become energy independant but shut down
the Liberal/Socialist lie of waging war for oil.And not to mention finally
move away from the Middle East Islamist regimes.
Not ALL Native Americans are a united people hating on people of other
race.The Choctaw tribe has always stayed away from conflicts with settlers
who bought their lands like in Virginia.The Mexicans were another issue
though.
What makes these people more native than I? I was born and raised on this
land. They were born and raised on this land. Neither I nor them can
control the past, and neither I nor them chose to be born here. So tell me,
why are they somehow “more American” than I am?
I support the whites.
The native americans had no written language. No technology. No medicine.
You want to live like that? No? Then why do you favor the native
americans so much? Makes no sense to me.
Considering Indian tribes *are* sovereign nations, they can indeed do this.
And whites were once the ‘illegal aliens’. But the tribes still gave them
help

If the government tries to push it, mobilize a huge social media push to
have tens of thousands of people from all over the country to gather on the
tribal land and fortify it.
Even if the government tries an armed incursion into the tribal lands, film
the whole thing and stream it live onto the internet. The government mowing
down American citizens being shown to the world live over the internet
would be a PR disaster the likes of which would bring down the government.
A brilliant move by their leader. This time its the Sioux who have the US
government by the balls.
Yah you invaders think this is the old west and one Native American group
would be alone if a war with natives really did happen! I am sorry but your
will be sadly be mistaken and realize you have just shook up a hornet nest!
Try rolling over the Sioux Nations and you will so millions of aboriginals
people all across America and Canada as well as central and South America
swarm in! so try it, this isn’t 1800’s and we are not helpless Indians any
more , so all you racist boat people want to jump in and say your stupid
comments about how you already won the war and already wiped us out and
took our land! We will see so comment all you want, We have resisted you
for 500 years and we no longer stand alone! So try it and watch what
happens! I know there will be 1000’s of Mi’kmaq’s who will come to the aid
of the Sioux!
Haha. I love the expression “so “sew” me”. Always creative expressions from
TYT :)
An Act of War, ok…how are they going to fight back ?
With Feathers, Sticks and Stones ?
Cenk – why would you want us to send this to an enemy instead of
solutionist?
An “act of war” that will be fought with class action lawsuits for 15 years
will no settlement. Scalp someone, otherwise, this is FAKE and.. gay.
People laughing at W Bush is so sad.
And look what came after him? The traitor Hussein Osama.
Unbelievable. Both political parties in the US are completely gone now.
Both corrupt beyond the point of no return.
This pipeline is not in the best interest of the Americans. Its is in the
best interest of the Canadians, pointedly Albertans. We need to get our oil
out of Canada, the people of Canada are not stupid about the risks
otherwise the pipeline would go through British Columbia. Google the
protests of the kinder-morgan pipeline. So, I am torn, I want to continue
to make 140-160k a year but in my heart I know its wrong and I want to cry
when I hear about the oil spills because I know I am partly responsible.
And everyday I go to work and see to damage I am helping with.
Thank God for the aboriginal tribes. Those little pockets of sovereignty
are the only things standing in the way of the corporate roto-tiller that’s
eating up nearly every resource on the planet. Up here in Canada,
aboriginal tribes went on a nation-wide march against the government,
because the government changed the language in our laws to basically allow
corporations to wreck as much of Canada’s wild life as they want to. A year
after this happens, we start hearing non-stop about “pipeline” “pipeline”
“pipeline”. On the television, on the internet – for a while in Alberta you
couldn’t look at a YouTube video without seeing some ad about a pipeline of
all the colours of the rainbow. Keysone XL, Trans Canada, you name it, they
want to pipe it. Pipelines to the East of us. Pipelines to the West. Here
we are: stuck in the middle with goo.
But the aboriginals gave the government a good fight. Basically, if we want
to have any say in what happens to our back yards, we should be standing
with the Sioux, the Lakota, the Attawapiskat, the Blackfoot and anyone else
that oppose the corporate bullies that are screwing up the world. Because
right now they have the best chance of stopping them.
I have a feeling that yugioh troll will appear, just a feeling
Look we are going to be reliant on oil for at least the next century. We
might as well get it from a nation that doesn’t have a long list of human
rights violations. I know you want to switch entirely to “green energy,”
but the technology just isn’t there yet.
Wind isn’t strong enough in most places, sun doesn’t shine enough in most
places, and waterfalls big enough for hydroelectric dams are few and far
between.
In addition, these green technologies aren’t as “green” as you think. Wind
and solar farms require much more land to set up, not only being an
eyesore, but also killing birds who try to make nests on or fly into the
windmills, and also requiring the land to be cleared for their building. Or
did you think we just built the solar panels on top of trees? Newsflash:
that would kill the tree, because the panel would block all the sunlight.
Then the now dead tree would fall over and destroy the solar panel too. And
if you think we could just build the solar panels in an existing clearing
thats still going to kill the grass, displace animals, and all sorts of
other problems. Then hydroelectric dams interfere with the migration of
fish, cause parts of the land to become man made lakes, and numerous other
aquatic problems.
Oh and those electric cars? Electricity has to be generated. The
electricity powering you electric car probably came from a coal, gas, or
oil powered electric plant. Theres no escaping it. In order to make energy
something of equal value must be exchanged for it. Thats the” law of
equivalent exchange” to quote FMA.
