5. He has to come back sometime

The Lakota and the entire down stream population and the environmental catastrophe and the economics in the US is a lot more important than this G20 item---------------in my opinion

[Pauldg47]

3. He promised much...where is he???????

[turbinetree]

7. Dealing with the G20 countries in a communist government

that is supporting the building of a island in the South China sea, and in country that tells "American and European " countries that if they want to sell a product, lets say like an airplane, glass cockpit, they have to give proprietary information----------go figure.

Maybe I should re-read the book by Donald Bartlett and James Steele about the American Dream again and see if anything has changed--------nope the same old same old-----------------the sell out continues

4. Emergency motion filed Sunday to stop Dakota Access Pipeline construction

Posted: Sun 8:50 PM, Sep 04, 2016

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe filed an emergency motion Sunday to block further construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.

In a press release, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe says the temporary restraining order will prevent destruction to sacred areas.

“On Saturday, Dakota Access Pipeline and Energy Transfer Partners brazenly used bulldozers to destroy our burial sites, prayer sites and culturally significant artifacts,” Tribal Chairman David Archambault II said. “They did this on a holiday weekend, one day after we filed court papers identifying these sacred sites. 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.”

Archaumbault says that Dakota Access Pipeline workers continued construction during the early morning hours on Sunday.

The release states that the motion would put a stop to additional work on the pipeline about two miles west of Highway 1806 until the judge issues a ruling on the previous motion to stop construction.

8. Thank you for the link!

9. You are Welcome My Friend, take a look at page 5

[Donkees]

10. I have read the whole document now, and think this information needs to have more exposure...

...posted as a new thread. There are procedures they have to follow and the destruction of that specific area was deliberate. Too sad.

[turbinetree]

12. That is why I sent to you and has it been sent to the Standing Rock brother and sisters

(Iginvtli & Igido) if not, they must be made aware of this ACT, the Army Corp, the and Lackeys of the Energy company ie: the governor, have violated the ACT.

Tomorrow I am going to call the Standing Rock Chief Archambault III and ask if he is aware of this ACT.

I want to know what Heidi Heitkamp is doing on this issue.

The private security goons, think they are above the law and that they can attack people at the site and use dogs and pepper spray to attack the people, brother and sisters, and the sheriff is doing what from afar, using a helicopter to enforce the peace-------------nice try, it will not work

[Donkees]

13. Thanks! Now there is an emergency hearing today at 3pm in the federal courthouse in Washington DC -

We'll see what happens next...

14. Your welcome

11. Army Corps backs restraining order against Dakota Access Pipeline MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2016

In a sign of solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, the Obama administration is supporting an emergency temporary restraining order against the $3.8 billion Dakota Access Pipeline.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers hasn't changed its position in the underlying lawsuit, which was filed by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. The agency still believes it fulfilled its duty to consult with the tribe about the impacts of the controversial pipeline on cultural and historic sites.

However, since the matter remains of great public interest, the Obama administration believes a temporary restraining order is warranted against Dakota Access LLC, the Department of Justice said in a court filing on Monday. Construction near the #NoDAPL resistance camps has been the "subject of several recent confrontations," government attorneys wrote, including one on Saturday in which several people -- a pregnant woman and a young girl among them -- were injured in a clash with private security guards working for the pipeline partnership.

"The Corps acknowledges that the public interest would be served by preserving peace near Lake Oahe until the court can render its well-considered opinion on plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction," government attorneys wrote in the short filing. "The Corps therefore does not oppose this short and discrete temporary restraining order."

In a footnote, the Obama administration also said the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe's concerns about Dakota Access "engaging with or antagonizing" the #NoDAPL resisters warranted a restraining order.

"Although this matter is outside the scope of this lawsuit, the Corps would not oppose a temporary restraining order on this basis in the interest of public safety," the filing stated.

The two tribes called for the temporary restraining order in response to the destruction of sacred sites and burial grounds in the path of the pipeline. They each filed their motions on Sunday, highlighting the emergency nature of their requests.

"I do not believe that the timing of this construction was an accident or coincidence. Based on my observations, the nearest area of construction in the right of way west of Highway 1806 is around 20 miles away," Tim Mentz Sr., the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's former longtime historic preservation officer, stated in a sworn declaration on Sunday. "It appears that DAPL drove the bulldozers approximately 20 miles of uncleared right of way to access the precise area that we surveyed and described in my declaration. The work started very early in the morning and they were accompanied by private security with dogs and with a helicopter overhead, indicating that the work was planned with care and that controversy was expected."

And even though Monday is federal holiday Judge James E. Boasberg issued an order to hear the tribes' motions. The hearing will take place at 3pm on Tuesday in Courtroom 19 of the federal courthouse in Washington D.C.
