Dakota Access Protest Backfires For Standing Rock

It never was about the pipeline. It was just a way for eco-terrorists to riot with the support of the world's smartest man ever, oblamer. With funding help from Russia, soros, etc.

I guess some people believe that some things are more important than money. What a crazy concept huh? I wonder what you'll drink and bathe in when all the clean water is gone. To say nothing of your children and your children's children. Do you think that technology will save you?

What you are doing to the earth is disgusting and criminal. http://e360.yale.edu/features/with_tar_sands_development_growing_concern_on_water_use

We who live downstream are in debt to the water protectors. Thank you and many blessings to Standing Rock. We will continue to stand by your side.

The cost to American taxpayers is over 10 times that amount, so who is really being economically hurt? Though what you appear to not understand is that this is not about money, this is about respecting treaties and people's right to not have their water poisoned. The pipeline was rerouted away from Bismarck because of concern over poisoning the drinking water of the town. This means that there is certainly a valid worry that the new direction will poison the drinking water of the reservation.

America has already repeatedly broken treaties, stolen land and murdered women and children for that land in the 1800s. Will we continue to do so in this modern age?

This article is an astonishing piece of a deplorable lack of journalist curiosity regarding U.S./State citizens with “Indian ancestry/race” since The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924! That single Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, made moot all previous common law-state and federal-including Presidential Executive Orders, Commerce Clause and Treaty Clause alleged Indian Treaties (if any U.S. Senate confirmed Indian treaties actually existed pre-1924 Citizenship) regarding U.S./State citizens with “Indian ancestry/race” so often touted by politicians and Indian advocates as being legitimate law.

And yet, MSM continue to perpetuate willful blindness to the Constitutional absurdity that Congress, Presidents/Governors, Initiatives and Referendums can make distinguishable the metes and boundaries of a select group of U.S./State citizens with “Indian ancestry/race” post citizenship.
The Constitution makes for no provisions for:
1. Indian sovereign nations. None of the asserted tribes possess any of the attributes of being a ‘sovereign nation:’ a. No Constitution recognition b. No international recognition c. No fixed borders d. No military e. No currency f. No postal system g. No passports
2. Treaties with its own constituency
3. Indian reservations whereby a select group of U.S./State citizens with “Indian ancestry/race” reside exclusively and to the exclusion of all others, on land-with rare exception-that is owned by the People of the United States according to federal documents readily available on-line that notes rights of ‘occupancy and use’ as renters by these distinguished U.S./State citizens with “Indian ancestry/race” only with the land owned by the People of the United States.
4. Recognition of ‘Indian citizenship’ asserted by various tribes. There is no U.S. Constitution/international recognition of “Indian citizenship” as there is no ‘nation’ from which citizenship is derived.
A simple question for politicians and MSM to answer…a question so simple, it is hard:
“Where is the proclamation ratified by 1/3rd of the voters of the United States that amends the Constitution to make the health, welfare, safety and benefits of a select group of U.S./State citizens distinguishable because of their “Indian ancestry/race?”
