Serious Pipelines, Native Americans, And The American Corporatocracy (the Possible End Of Free Speech?)

Who needs the first amendment, anyways?


When a state government authorizes fucking weaponized drones to be used against protesters, I'd say it's appropriate to make a thread about this.
The Dakota Access Pipeline is a pipeline running through, as the name suggests, North Dakota. Problem is, Native Americans really don't want it there, and understandably so when 20 pipeline leaks occurred this year alone (Doesn't sound like much when you consider the massive amount of pipelines in America, but this is just this year alone, not including anything in the future. We're literally only 3/4ths done with this year and we get this much oil spilling). On top of that, there's unconfirmed reports of them cutting down cell towers near the reservation, restricting the Native American's first amendment right of free speech. On top of that, reporter Amy Goodman (convenient name, huh) now has an arrest warrant on her after exposing the use of pepper spray and attack dogs on peaceful protesters. Scratch both freedom of press and freedom to peacefully protest off of the first amendment. And finally, on top of all that, the weaponized drones. Weaponized. Drones. It's a fucking pipe. A pipe doesn't deserve fucking WEAPONIZED DRONES. Especially when said pipe doesn't have the consent of the people it runs through, poses a huge threat to the environment, and is the cause of so many first amendment violations.
Even if you don't give a shit about the pipeline, this still means that corporations are fucking murdering the first amendment. Corporations have too much power over the government when they can get access to weaponized drones and silence protesters/media.


TL;DR make some noise about the Dakota Access Pipeline because this might be the start of something that virtually nullifies the First Amendment.

Let's bomb the pipeline!

 

hey bud that also violates the first amendment as that is not peaceful protest bud

 

It's quite shocking how much sway big corporations have over senators.
Ironic that we pride ourselves as a democratic country but we still allow our senators to be bought by big corporations

 

Im not american, im spanish, but this seems a bit corrupt to me...

 

Is this legit because I have been living under a rock for the past month.

If this is legit then I guess we don't need Trump to be sworn into office before nuclear war breaks out.
jkjk

 

North Dakota put us under that rock by censoring the media.

Oh yeah, it definitely is.
I wish I could be in the EU right now ;-;

 

Build a wall around the pipe to protect it!

 

WE'LL BUILD A WALL
AND MAKE THE NATIVE AMERICANS PAY FOR IT

 

But North Dakota is not the US government :P It's not censorship if people know about it.

 

Warranting arrests on reporters for reporting the news is censorship.
The people also don't know about it because of that.

 

No you don,t theres so many terror attacks in the EU right now, its become a dangerous place

Also you think the US is corrupt? Spain is a disaster tbh

 

But you know about it. Also could you provide me with a reliable source that this is happening? What if the arrest warrant is for something else? I need proof. :l

That is not proof mate. That is a google search. The two most prominent sites that come up are Democracy Now! and Inquisitr. The latter is not even spelled right, and the first one immediately gives me a pop up add. Are you sure this is trustworthy?

 

I was thinking you could get off your lazy ass and do some research yourself.
Also, do you really think that "Inquisitr" is misspelled on accident? It's called "clever". Although I don't believe you have ever came into contact with that.

 

Are you actually trying to start a flame war. This is the stupidest thing to get mad about. I just said that I don't find those sites trustworthy. Don't think you can bait me into fighting with you. Ignored.

 

I didn't try to start a flame war. It's just that when you attempt to defend people who are disrespecting nearly every first amendment right I tend to get pissed.

 

I'm just wondering but is there any proof drones were actually used? I can't find anything on that..

 

You don't like corporations, capitalism, and corruption?

Commie!
