VS politiestaat 'heeft lessen getrokken' uit vreedzaam protest tegen DAPL: noem demonstranten terroristen met een sterk religieuze achtergrond...........

De Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protesten hebben een aantal 'mooie zaken' opgeleverd voor politiestaat en terreurentiteit VS. Het gaat hier om dezelfde pijpleiding waar nu al 2 lekken zijn geconstateerd....

Het lokale bureau van de sheriff en de politie hebben de vreedzame demonstranten bestookt met geluidskanonnen, traangas (chemische wapen), 'niet dodelijke munitie' zoals rubberkogels, wapenstokken en tasers........

TigerSwan, een aannemer van militaire klussen, vooral voor het Midden-Oosten, heeft de vreedzame demonstranten aangemerkt als terroristen met een sterk religieuze achtergrond, waarbij men zelfs het woord 'jihadisten' durfde te gebruiken.........

The Intercept wist 100 documenten te achterhalen via een lek bij TigerSwan. In die documenten en documenten via andere bronnen, is o.a. te lezen, dat TigerSwan spreekt over een 'battlefield' ofwel een 'slagveld....' Nogmaals: het ging hier om vreedzame protesten........

Op alle mogelijke manieren werden de demonstranten in de gaten gehouden en tegengewerkt, zelfs infiltratie werd gebruikt. Waar deze infiltranten overgingen tot geweld, een manier van doen, die de VS al in de 70er jaren gebruikte, om vreedzame demonstranten te criminaliseren (de Nederlandse politie gebruikte dit 'wapen 'in de strijd [voor de bouwmaffia speculanten als makelaars en banken] tegen krakers)..... Zie ook: 'New Video Emerges of #NoDAPL Infiltrators Setting Vehicles on Fire'

De vreedzame demonstranten, die volkomen terecht hebben gedemonstreerd tegen de DAPL, worden ook door hun overheid uitgemaakt voor terroristen, terwijl die overheid, zoals u kon lezen, enorme terreur tegen deze demonstranten gebruikte....... De nu al geconstateerde lekken in de DAPL geven ten overvloede nog eens aan, dat deze demonstranten het gelijk volledig aan hun kan hadden en hebben..... Zie wat die lekken betreft ook: 'List of pipeline accidents in the United States in the 21st century' (stuitend!!)

De VS is een stuk verder met het uitbreiden van de al bestaande politiestaat, waar men de eigen bevolking te lijf gaat, als ging het om islam terroristen en mensenrechten aan de kant heeft geschoven......

Oil Leaks and Militarized Police: The Legacy of the Dakota Access Pipeline

June 25, 2017 at 12:10 pm

Written by Derrick Broze

As the Dakota Access Pipeline nears operational status the project is marred with new reports of oil leaks and the presence of a private military contractor.

(ACTIVIST POST) — While protesters and water protectors battled against the Dakota Access Pipeline throughout the second half of 2016 the public was often left aghast at the brutal tactics employed by the Morton County Sheriff’s office and supporting police. LRAD sound cannons, tear gas, batons, tasers, and “less than lethal” ammunition rounds were fired at the opponents of Energy Transfer Partner’s DAPL.

Now, new documents obtained by The Intercept reveal the presence of TigerSwan, a private contractor with origins as a U.S. military and State Department client in the global War on Terror. TigerSwan was hired for their experience dealing with “insurgent” movements in the Middle East.

The Intercept obtained the more than 100 internal documents via a leak from a TigerSwan contractor. The online publication also gathered new details by combing through over 1,000 documents received via open records requests. The documents are dated from September 2016 and May 2017. They reveal that TigerSwan believes they have found a “proven method of defeating pipeline insurgencies” via “aggressive intelligence preparation of the battlefield and active coordination between intelligence and security elements.” This acknowledgement shows that local police and former military elements are confidently prepared to take on any future uprisings.

“Internal TigerSwan communications describe the movement as “an ideologically driven insurgency with a strong religious component” and compare the anti-pipeline water protectors to jihadist fighters,” The Intercept writes. “One report, dated February 27, 2017, states that since the movement “generally followed the jihadist insurgency model while active, we can expect the individuals who fought for and supported it to follow a post-insurgency model after its collapse.”

The documents outline TigerSwan’s “multifaceted” operation involving “sweeping and invasive surveillance of protesters”. The leaked documents also highlight TigerSwan’s efforts to paint the water protectors in a negative light by portraying them as “unpredictable” and “menacing.” Daily reports from TigerSwan also expose what many onlookers have suspected; ETP* and local police were heavily engaged in aerial surveillance, radio eavesdropping, infiltration of camps and activist circles.

Infiltration and surveillance were not the only tactics employed against water protectors. Dakota Access LLC** and ETP also attempted to slow their opponents down by legal battles. The companies filed a lawsuit against Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairman David Archambault and four others, claiming the resistance to the pipeline was costing them $75,000 a day. The lawsuit sought a restraining order and monetary damages. Earlier this month, The Bismarck Tribune reported that a federal judge had dismissed the lawsuit based on a lack of claim.

“Dakota Access cannot aggregate the alleged harm from all pipeline protesters in calculating the value of an injunction against individuals acting independently,” U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland wrote.

The most recent development in the DAPL saga is the fact that water protectors and opponents of this pipeline have already been proven correct in their assessment that the pipeline would leak. CBS Minnesota reports there have been at least two different leaks since March. In one incident a feeder line leaked more than 100 gallons of oil. Another leak caused 84 gallons to spill into snow and soil. Energy Transfer Partners and the Minnesota State Health Department released statements promising there was no damage to local wildlife or the environment.

The opponents of the DAPL have long called attention to the militarization of the police, the use of the militarized police against peaceful water protectors, and the potential for damage caused by leaks. Less than a year after the battle began the Standing Rock Sioux and their allies are vindicated in their efforts.

Unfortunately, the pipeline is going forth and if a larger spill comes, thousands more will suffer. Perhaps at that point, the public will finally understand that water is life.

VS overheden behandelden demonstranten tegen de DAPL als terroristen, zo blijkt uit gelekte documenten.....

Anti-Media bracht afgelopen zaterdag het bericht, dat gelekte documenten het bewijs hebben geleverd, voor het labelen van demonstranten als terrorist door de overheid in de VS.......

Dat de VS een politiestaat is, zal voor velen geen geheim meer zijn en keer op keer komen daarvoor de bewijzen op tafel, zoals afgelopen zaterdag......

Bij de protesten tegen de Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), die ongeveer een jaar duurden, gebruikte de overheid zwaar geweld tegen de demonstranten en werden de vreedzame demonstranten door de verschillende overheidsdiensten aangemerkt als terroristen, letterlijk: 'jihadist fighters' (dit geweld in samenwerking met de oliemaatschappij die de pijpleiding 'nodig had' en het bedrijf dat deze aanlegde).........

Overigens zijn de eerste lekken al geconstateerd in de intussen werkende pijpleiding, precies daarvoor waarschuwden de demonstranten, bestaande uit de oorspronkelijke bewoners van de VS en medestanders............

Eerder pasten een paar staten van de VS regelgeving aan, waarbij werd gesteld dat automobilisten die demonstranten aanrijden (demonstranten die zich op autowegen ophouden), niet vervolgd zullen worden........

Leaked Documents Prove the U.S. Treats Protesters Like Terrorists

May 27, 2017 at 1:07 pm

Written by Anti-Media News Desk

Leaked docs reveal the collusion between local police forces, pipeline company, and defense contractors as they executed ‘military-style counterterrorism measures’ to suppress DAPL protesters.

COMMONDREAMS) The years-long, Indigenous-led fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) briefly captured the nation’s attention last fall as images of peaceful protesters being sprayed with water canons and surrounded by police in tanks and other military-grade equipment were spread widely, fueling global outrage and a fierce protest movement against the oil pipeline.

Now that the pipeline is operational and already leaking, internal documents obtained by The Intercept and reported on Saturday reveal the deep collusion between local police forces, the pipeline company, and defense contractors as they executed “military-style counterterrorism measures” to suppress the water protectors.

TigerSwan, described as a “shadowy international mercenary and security firm” that “originated as a U.S. military and State Department contractor helping to execute the global war on terror,” was hired by Energy Transfer Partners to spearhead “a multifaceted private security operation characterized by sweeping and invasive surveillance of protesters,” The Intercept wrote.

Reportedly, one of TigerSwan’s contractors leaked 100 internal documents to reporters Alleen Brown, Will Parrish, and Alice Speri, who were able to assemble roughly 1,000 more via public records requests.

The trove paints a damning picture of the police response to the Indigenous-led effort to block construction of the pipeline on sacred, treaty land and is a shocking example of how anti-terrorist rhetoric and tactics could be applied to any uprising the government would like to suppress.

According to the reporting:

“Internal TigerSwan communications describe the movement as ‘an ideologically driven insurgency with a strong religious component’ and compare the anti-pipeline water protectors to jihadist fighters. One report, dated February 27, 2017, states that since the movement ‘generally followed the jihadist insurgency model while active, we can expect the individuals who fought for and supported it to follow a post-insurgency model after its collapse.’ Drawing comparisons with post-Soviet Afghanistan, the report warns, ‘While we can expect to see the continued spread of the anti-DAPL diaspora…aggressive intelligence preparation of the battlefield and active coordination between intelligence and security elements are now a proven method of defeating pipeline insurgencies.'”

“As policing continues to be militarized and state legislatures around the country pass laws criminalizing protest,” Brown, Parrish, and Speri write, “the fact that a private security firm retained by a Fortune 500 oil and gas company coordinated its efforts with local, state, and federal law enforcement to undermine the protest movement has profoundly anti-democratic implications.”

Indeed, in the wake of the 2016 election, Republican legislatures in at least 19 states introduced various anti-protest laws, many with a deliberate nod to the uprising in North Dakota.

Not only that, but Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier, who oversaw the police response to the DAPL resistance, has been advising other law enforcement on how to deal with protests and demonstrations.

Indeed, the documents reportedly show that Energy Transfer Partners has “continued to retain TigerSwan,” despite the fact that the anti-DAPL camps have disbanded. The security firm continues to produce so-called situation reports that document “the threat of growing activism around other pipeline projects across the country.” These reports include “intelligence on upcoming protests,” information gleaned from social media, and “extensive evidence of aerial surveillance and radio eavesdropping, as well as infiltration of camps and activist circles.”

In some cases, persons “of interest” were even tracked when they crossed over state lines.

What’s more, the documents obtained via open records requests include “communications among agents from the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the U.S. Justice Department, the Marshals Service, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, as well as state and local police,” that reveals interagency collusion and information sharing on the anti-DAPL protesters.
