This is at the Highway 1806 blockade (which has been additionally fortified since last Sunday).

**edited to add footage of the people returning from camp. It's about 3 minutes; the audio is terrible**

Here's another link I was just sent. I haven't watched it yet, but the person videoing has been reliable before.

Stay strong there!

Such baiting going on, to get violent and the pressure increases. If I were there without surrounders I would have exploded, and I am a non-violent person.

Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.

This video is from a few days ago

The medic speaks about how the cops were targeting medics while they were trying to help people.
They had Red Crosses on their sleeves but the cops shot rubber bullets at them anyway.
The person in the video said he went to help a man who had been sprayed with water and a cop less than 5 feet from him shot a rubber bullet at his head fracturing his skull. That is attempted murder under the cover of the law, and still no word from president Obama or any democrat except Franklin.
Warren likes to tell us that she has Cherokee blood so where the hell is she? Why isn't she speaking out against this?
I still can't imagine what type of person can do these things to another person.
Again today I saw a comment on DK stating that Obama has run a scandal free tenure, but I guess war crimes, not prosecuting war crimes or the CEOs of the banks who committed fraud doesn't count as a scandal.
Pretty low standards if you ask me.

Scientists are concerned that conspiracy theories may die out if they keep coming true at the current alarming rate.

Drones At Standing Rock

Drones caused a brief uproar at the North Dakota campsites when three were shot down for allegedly flying too close to a sheriff’s helicopter surveying the area. Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier later said the pilots were “in fear of their lives” while one of the drone’s owners, Dean Dedman Jr., said “the helicopter was not even close.” His drone’s footage had been used to prove that pipeline construction is nearing the Missouri River, which was blocked off by three federal agencies in September, and the other two drones were recording for an Indigenous-run documentary company.

To settle the issue, the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, declared a no-fly zone over Cannonball — not to put an end to all drone usage, but to ensure law enforcement had a monopoly over the skies.

F--k Facebook..

Give us some real access to info without making us whores as we give the corporate overlords access to our lives. I have better things to do.
Sorry to be crabby, but life is too short to waste that way.

many activists use FB for livestreaming

so I'm providing the links they're using. I'd rather provide firsthand coverage than the predigested reports later (although some of those have their uses)

fyi, you don't have to sign in to FB to see the videos. I don't have a FB account, and I can watch most of them.

But I've also posted lots of other links as they become available, and I hope you'll watch them and share them. And if you have better links that aren't FB, I'd appreciate you posting them.

No fly zone, like in Syria?

Nah! Couldn't happen here. a peaceful, unarmed flying camera banned from the skies so the rapacious spoliation of water and land cannot be documented. Why, those things only happen in dictatorships.

Oops!
