Paid protestors....

Posted: Feb 10, 2017

Setting up a camp next to the river they were supposedly there to protect - when the weather turned cold (which they blamed on North Dakota controlling the weather just to get them to leave) they moved to the local casino and into Mandan to take up residence, all the while being supported by who???? A propane truck delivered propane to the site south of Manday, ND and when asked who was paying for it, he said they didn't know - but the bill was being paid. Supplies came to the camp by the semi load - food, bedding, sleeping bags, propane bottles, winter clothes, tents, etc. One group was lamenting the fact that no one had sent tampons and that they were having to purchase them....These "environmentalists" left behind a toxic mess of human waste, tents, half-built wooden structures, piles of new winter clothes and boots, abandoned cars, canned and other nonperishable food, etc. The tribal leader who initially welcomed environmentalists to his cause has a gas station/convenience store nearby and is now making plans to build a new house (mansion?) on this same river. Do you think he made money on the protest? Money contributed to Gofundme pages set up for the protestors is nowhere to be found as the state has to figure out how to pay for the cleanup. The snow is melting now which means alot of the toxic waste is now soaking into the ground.....so much for caring for the environment.

Seems to be quite a stretch in calling the protester's camp "toxic waste" when one quart of oil from the proposed pipeline can contaminate up to a quarter million gallons of drinking water.

Then, if you are going to post a Snopes link you probably should actually read it. Here is an excerpt on the subject: *in the opinion piece cited* "There were few details about celebrities or paid agitators behind the protest, no citations backing claims of violence perpetrated by the protesters, no examples of the “emotionally charged tale” being told, and no details whatsoever about the “real story” that had apparently been revealed in court documents in September 2016. Without references or concrete examples, none of the quoted material could be properly checked for accuracy."

Carry on.

you are assuming the pipeline will break.... - but the "water protectors"

..have done exactly what they protested against.

I'm all for pipeline safety - I don't disagree with that idea at all - the point I was trying to make was that the protestors here are troublemakers - paid by someone to cause trouble. Don't confuse them with people who actually care about the environment.

"Thousands of activists traveled to Standing Rock to protest about an oil pipeline they claimed would contaminate the Missouri River, then left a garbage wasteland behind, which, if not cleaned up in time, will contaminate Cannonball River and Lake Oahe."

I don't understand why these are not built better and the industry has such a poor history.

This past month, there was much outrage over the fact that General Electric, despite making $14.2 billion in profits, paid zero U.S. taxes in 2010. General Electric actually received tax credits of $3.2 billion from American taxpayers. At the same time that General Electric was not paying taxes, many undocumented immigrants, who are typically accused of taking advantage of the system while not contributing to it by many on the right, paid $11.2 billion in taxes.

The protestors are doing nothing but inciting violence and fear. It was a Trump rally and they did nothing but come there to incite violence. There is a movement alright and I do not need violent protestors to act like idiots to get their views across, why not have their own rallies to get their views across. This whole thing is sick, however, Trump no matter if you like him or not feel what he is saying is how we all are feeling. Free college, t ...

Scroll down past the Hannity video and you will see it. I'm not thrilled to post a Huff article, but I couldn't find it on YouTube, even though it shows the TM on the video. I understand the protestors "stormed" the capital, crawling in through windows to get inside. These protestors are no longer school teachers. Who are they? BTW, Trumka is totally wrong in his speech. He and Jesse Jackson are just whipping up the crowds. Someone is going to get hurt yet. http://www.huffing ...

OK, this is getting WAY out of control. And frightening. This has got to stop. Since when do we condone this type of behavior? This is thuggery 101.

Do you all think that 12 people who got to together to sit in on this case could all be idiots? I think maybe they didn't deliberate and came to a rash decision based on the fact they had been sequestered for so long and wanted to get home. Not sure of the idiot status though but they remain in hiding and I think that is a good idea because of the outrage of their decision. I saw the evidence and heard testimony. There is no way I could set Casey ...

Two children were burned, one of them severely, at the Dakota Access camp evacuation Wednesday after remaining activists set fire to about 20 shelters and a vehicle in what was described as a departure ceremony. North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum said a 17-year-old girl was airlifted to a hospital in Minneapolis, and that a seven-year-old boy was also hurt as most of the activists left the camp in compliance with a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers eviction order. Most of those remaining at the camp left ...

He remarks on his time at the debate "I'm not getting paid for this."

"Illegal immigrants and prison inmates received more than $120 million in Medicare services from 2009-2011 despite federal law that makes them ineligible for the program, according to two new reports from the HHS inspector general.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston, who has covered Trump off and on for 27 years, reports that he has three of Trumps tax returns from the late 70s - early 80s show Trump paid NO income tax, despite bragging about a 400 million annual income!

for waiting in line. "Amazon warehouses are full of stuff people like. To cut down on theft, workers who box and ship it are required to pass through security checkpoints after their shifts, waiting in lines that can take almost 30 minutes to get through. On Oct. 8 the Supreme Court will hear arguments about whether that time counts as work." Gee, aren't these Amazon workers lucky that they do not work for MTSOs who constantly run out of work and leave thei ...

In this case, this man left his job to pursue political organization. If he receives money to help with his expenses, I suppose you would say he is paid. (He has used a good part of his own money, but I am certain that is running thin.) He is doing the work of many who are unable to participate due to their own obligations to family and some who simply could not live this way. I, for one, appreciate the work he does, am happy to contribute and do not deny anyone o ...

At least some of the protesters who looted, rioted, burned buildings and overturned police cars in Ferguson, Missouri, last year were promised payment of up to $5,000 per month to join the protests. However, when the Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE), the successor group to the now-bankrupt St. Louis branch of ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), stiffed the protesters, they launched a sit-in protest at the headquarters of MORE and created a Tw ...
