  Media Blackout: Mercenaries Attack Thousands of Native Americans

Baxter Dmitry - September 6, 2016
A systematic attempt by the elite to destroy communities of Native 
American tribes living in America is currently underway amid a total 
media blackout.

*A systematic attempt by the elite to destroy communities of Native 
American tribes living in America is currently underway amid a total 
media blackout.*

Recent footage has emerged showing corporate mercenaries, operating on 
behalf of Dakota Access Oil Company, using vicious attack dogs and 
pepper spray on thousands of peaceful indigenous protestors.

The violent attacks came one day after the Sioux Standing Rock tribe 
filed court papers identifying sacred sites and reiterating their claims 
the pipeline will pollute the Missori River and contaminate the water 
supply of thousands of people from their tribe.

It has also been revealed that over twenty major banks and financial 
institutions are banking on the pipeline going ahead.

“/On Saturday, Dakota Access Pipeline and Energy Transfer Partners 
brazenly used bulldozers to destroy our burial sites, prayer sites and 
culturally significant artifacts/,” said tribal chairman David 
Archambault II in a press statement 
<http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2016/09/05/standing-rock-sioux-tribe-seeks-temporary-restraining-order-against-dakota-access>.

“/They did this on a holiday weekend, one day after we filed court 
papers identifying these sacred sites/,” Archambault added. “/The 
desecration of these ancient places has already caused the Standing Rock 
Sioux irreparable harm. We’re asking the court to halt this path of 
destruction./“

On Sunday corporate mercenaries arrived with attack dogs and used the 
trained animals as weapons to illegally assault and terrorize the Native 
Americans. Protestors claim the dogs attacked human faces, as video 
evidence emerged of dogs with blood around their mouths.

The protests were launched on April 1 and have shut down construction 
along parts of the pipeline, however the violent and inhumane treatment 
of the Native American protestors on the holiday weekend represents a 
new low in human rights abuses perpetrated by the oil company and its 
financial backers.

If completed, the $3.8 billion pipeline would carry half a million 
barrels of crude per day from North Dakota’s Bakken oilfield to Illinois.

But at what cost? The project has faced months of stern resistance from 
the Standing Rock Sioux tribe who believe the pipeline will disturb 
sacred burial sites and contaminate the Missouri River – the water 
supply of 8,000 tribal members. Members of almost 200 other tribes from 
across the U.S. and Canada are protesting with the Standing Rock Sioux 
tribe in solidarity.

A federal judge is currently deciding whether construction should be 
stopped altogether, in response to a complaint filed by the tribe, which 
argues that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers illegally approved the 
project without their involvement. That decision is expected by Sept. 9.

*Who’s Banking On The Dakota Access Pipeline?*

The explosion of violence against protestors comes as a new 
investigation 
<https://littlesis.org/maps/1634-who-s-banking-on-the-dakota-access-pipeline> 
has exposed that more than 20 major banks and financial institutions are 
helping finance the Dakota Access pipeline.

The investigation, published by the research organization LittleSis 
<http://littlesis.org/>, reveals that Bank of America, HSBC, UBS, 
Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase and other major financial 
institutions have extended a $3.75 billion credit line to Energy 
Transfer, the parent company of Dakota Access LLC.

*UN Demands Avoidance Of ‘Further Human Rights Abuses’*

Though the U.S. government and mainstream media is choosing to suppress 
the issue, a UN body has ruled that the Sioux must be included in 
planning of the pipeline project.

In a statement issued by the United Nations Permanent Forum on 
Indigenous Issues on Wednesday, the forum’s chairman Alvaro Pop Ac 
called on the U.S. to provide the tribe a “/fair, independent, 
impartial, open and transparent process to resolve this serious issue 
and to avoid escalation into violence and further human rights abuses./”

Attack dogs were set on protestors on Saturday.

Dalee Dorough, an Inuit member of the forum, said failure to consult 
with Sioux over the project violated the U.N. Declaration on the Rights 
of Indigenous Peoples.

Article 19 of the declaration, which the U.S. endorsed in 2010, says: 
“/States shall consult and co-operate in good faith with the indigenous 
peoples concerned in order to obtain their free, prior and informed 
consent before adopting and implementing legislative or administrative 
measures that may affect them/. “
