Jeremy Scahill: TigerSwan Security, Linked to Blackwater, Now Coordinates Intel for Dakota Access
Democracy Now! on Nov 21, 2016
http://democracynow.org – We speak with Intercept co-founder Jeremy Scahill, who has spent years reporting on private security contractors such as the private security firm TigerSwan, which has links to the now-defunct mercenary firm Blackwater and is in charge of coordinating intelligence for the Dakota Access pipeline company. He discusses the company’s track record as more than 100 Native Americans and allies fighting the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline have been injured by police in North Dakota. Many were attacked with rubber bullets, tear gas, mace canisters and water cannons in freezing temperatures. The attack began after the water protectors attempted to clear access to a public bridge, which has been blocked by authorities using military equipment chained to concrete barriers.

Activist faces arm amputation, DAPL police accused of firing grenade
RT America on Nov 22, 2016
More details are emerging about Sunday’s violent confrontation between police and pipeline protesters at the Standing Rock reservation in North Dakota. Activist Sophia Wilansky was so severely injured by a concussion grenade she may need to have her arm amputated. Law enforcement said that no grenades were used. However, they also previously said that they had not used water cannon, which video evidence calls into dispute. RT America’s Anya Parampil is joined by Alexey Yaroshevsky for the latest.

The Brown shirts and Gestapo of the 4th Reich have begun to march. Soon registration, Krystal Nacht, and the other parallels will follow as we continue our conquest of military imperialism against the world.
That this is unreported by mainstream (ha!) ‘imperial news’ is telling in the extreme. “It isn’t happening, folks…just keep shopping.”
This is so far beyond disgraceful as to be raised to the level of a universal cause célèbre; just reason indeed, to provoke the ire and opprobrium of the entire international community. In my opinion, we should be calling the public to demand we ‘boycott, divest and sanction’ the USA.
Where is Obama…strutting about in Michelle’s organic veg patch, pretending to be concerned?
