Mni Wiconi!
BAYOU BRIDGE PIPELINE
FROM nobbp.org 8/14/18 — Here in the bayous of Louisiana, our water and way of life is under threat, and we need your support.
Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), the very same company behind the notorious Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) , is trying to build a 162 mile crude oil pipeline across Louisiana called the Bayou Bridge Pipeline (BBP).
This is an open call for all water protectors, kayaktivists, radical sailors and water going folk to join us on the frontlines as we fight the tail end of the Dakota Access Pipeline in the swamps of Louisiana.
If you are interested in stopping the Bayou Bridge Pipeline, make plans to come to Louisiana NOW.
Need to email or contact camp prior to coming.
BBP will pollute our water, crossing an astounding 700 bodies of water including Bayou LaFourche, a critical reservoir that supplies the United Houma Nation and 300,000 Louisiana residents with clean, safe drinking water.
BBP violates indigenous sovereignty. Along its path of destruction, BBP would impact sacred mounds and threaten drinking water of the United Houma Nation, a tribe that has been seeking federal recognition for decades. Neither the United Houma Nation nor any tribe of the gulf south has been consulted nor given consent for the construction of this pipeline.

It’s Not Over!
Leaked documents reveal that TigerSwan, a private security firm hired by DAPL parent company Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), operated without a license in North Dakota. TigerSwan also employed unlawful, paramilitary style tactics to suppress the movement by targeting, surveilling, and provoking the peaceful and prayerful water protectors at Standing Rock.
Use the form on the Lakota People’s Law Project site to ask North Dakota’s Attorney General and Morton County’s State’s Attorney to drop the charges against water protectors and hold TigerSwan and ETP accountable by making them pay for the state’s costs resulting from law enforcement actions at Standing Rock.

One of the most capable Native American opponents the United States Army ever faced, he led a successful conflict in 1866-1868 known as Red Cloud’s War over control of the Powder River Country in northwestern Wyoming and southern Montana.

Trump is breaking the federal government's promises to Native Americans

When Trump threatens the health and prosperity of Native Americans, he drags us all backward.Save the Mediterranean Sea and millions of people from a health & ecological disaster, threatend by Noble Energy’s gas rig.
We demand that the gas processing rig be located at the actual site of the Leviathan gas well, 70 miles from shore, The existing location planned - only 6 miles away from shore will seriously impact the health of both the nearby marine and human populations.
We’re concerned that along with the heavy pollution inherent to the standard processing of natural gas to its usable form, there will also be incidents of oil spills and toxic, carcinogenic materials released into the sea, both of which will irreversible pollute the sea, beaches and most importantly the water produced in the desalination plant, only several miles away.
Dear citizens of the world,
You have the power to save children of the Mediterranean coast from irreversible health damages caused by irresponsible gas and oil developments by Noble Energy Inc., one of the most polluting corporations in the world.
We demand transparency about the risks.
We are facing an extreme, irreversible health and environmental disaster to the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea, with severe implications for residents along the coastline. The residents are fighting the vast resources of Noble Energy and its partners, which successfully established strong connections with leading politicians worldwide. The gas and oil rig is about to be built using outdated technology, only 6 miles from shore, that will release enormous amounts of toxic & carcinogenic materials to the air and sea. Potential incidents of oil spills will cause irreversible damage to the sea and beaches. Noble Energy’s dubious history with malfunctions, pollution and oil spills in the United States reinforces our concerns. We request that the rig be located above the actual gas well, 70 miles from shore, using the best available technology (FPSO) used worldwide, to prevent the extreme life pollution to the air and the sea.

“The tipi blockade prevented bulldozers and street paving machines from laying down new asphalt over the Mississippi, the release said. An Anishinaabe woman held a water ceremony on the bank of the river offering medicine, prayers and songs, the release said. The action took place just miles from 3,000-year-old Dakota village sites near Lake LaSalle where Clearwater County Road 40 crosses the Mississippi River, according to the release”

Protesters block bridge over Mississippi River in Clearwater...
bemidjipioneer.com
BEMIDJI -- Early Tuesday morning, Sept. 18, a group of indigenous water protectors from the Ginew Collective raised a tipi and blocked a bridge southwest of Bemidji in Clearwater County, halting work at a construction site for the recently permitted Enbridge Line 3 pipeline replacement, according to...BREAKING: Blockade has been cleared out by the police.
One member of Ginew declared “We’re here today protecting our water, our burial sites and standing in solidarity with our brothers and sisters down south who are fighting the Bayou Bridge Pipeline. The Mississippi River begins here in the headwaters, where we are standing right now, and it ends in the Gulf of Mexico, in the bayous, where folks have been fighting against Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) for months, putting their bodies on the line for clean water and safer communities. We’re fighting Enbridge here, a different company that is also invested in ETP. Enbridge wants to cross over 200 water ways and drill under the Mississippi River multiple times to construct Line 3. Enbridge wants to put this new poisonous black snake where the river begins and turn this area into an industrial corridor. They want to poison our seed of hope for clean water and turn us into another alley of cancer.”
