[Kzyxtalk] Locals to Join Protest Against Dakota Access Pipeline

[David Gurney]

This major story has been completely blacked-out by the corporate
mainstream media.


There is a huge demonstration going on in North Dakota against the
1,200-mile Dakota Access Pipeline, that if built, would carry half a
million barrels of crude oil per day through four states, cross the
Missouri River in twice, desecrate many Native American sacred grounds and
burial sites, and threaten the water supply for all living things.


Right now, thousands of people are gathering from across the continent to
stop this pipeline.  On Friday and Saturday, the confrontation with
construction crews and police turned violent when a private security
company turned attack dogs against protesters. Some people were viciously
bitten.
