<p><strong>A systematic attempt by the elite to destroy
communities of Native American tribes living in
America is currently underway amid a total media
blackout.</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>It has also been revealed that over twenty major banks
and financial institutions are banking on the pipeline
going ahead.</p>
<p>“<i>On Saturday, Dakota Access Pipeline and Energy
Transfer Partners brazenly used bulldozers to destroy
our burial sites, prayer sites and culturally
significant artifacts</i>,” said tribal chairman David
Archambault II in a <a
href="http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2016/09/05/standing-rock-sioux-tribe-seeks-temporary-restraining-order-against-dakota-access">press
statement</a>.</p>
<p>“<i>They did this on a holiday weekend, one day after
we filed court papers identifying these sacred sites</i>,”
Archambault added. “<i>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.</i>“</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><b>Who’s Banking On The Dakota Access Pipeline?</b></p>
<p>The explosion of violence against protestors comes as a
<a
href="https://littlesis.org/maps/1634-who-s-banking-on-the-dakota-access-pipeline">new
investigation</a> has exposed that more than 20 major
banks and financial institutions are helping finance the
Dakota Access pipeline.</p>
<p>The investigation, published by the research
organization <a href="http://littlesis.org/">LittleSis</a>,
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.</p>

pipeline going ahead:</p>
<p><b>UN Demands Avoidance Of ‘Further Human Rights
Abuses’</b></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 “<i>fair, independent, impartial, open and
transparent process to resolve this serious issue and
to avoid escalation into violence and further human
rights abuses.</i>”</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>Article 19 of the declaration, which the U.S. endorsed
in 2010, says: “<i>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</i>. “</p>
