Appeals Court Halts Dakota Access Pipeline Work Pending Hearing

September 18, 2016 Staff, www.indianz.com Resist! Courts, Dakota Access Pipeline, indigenous, Pipelines, Standing Rock

By Staff for Indianz. A federal appeals court has handed a temporary victory to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe as the #NoDAPL fight continues. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order on Friday that preventsDakota Access Pipeline from doing construction within 20 miles on both sides of Lake Oahe. That's exactly what the tribes and the #NoDAPL resisters have been seeking as they work to protect sacred sites and burial grounds near the Missouri River. But the court cautioned that it was not making a decision on the merits of the underlying lawsuit. Instead, the order was described as an "administrative" one that will give the court more time to consider the tribes' request for an injunction. "The purpose of this administrative injunction is to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the emergency motion for injunction pending appeal and should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits of that motion," the clerk of the court wrote.

By Xian Chiang-Waren for Grist - At sundown, Montgomery Brown meets me by the information tent. He has a paper plate piled with brownies in one hand and a toothbrush in the other.

We wander through a kitchen, where volunteers are chopping vegetables and boiling pots of soup over an open fire, past kids chasing each other in a game of tag.

Assad’s Death Warrant

By Mike Whitney for Counter Punch - The conflict in Syria is not a war in the conventional sense of the word. It is a regime change operation, just like Libya and Iraq were regime change operations. The main driver of the conflict is the country that’s toppled more than 50 sovereign governments since the end of World War 2. (See: Bill Blum here.) We’re talking about the United States of course. Washington is the hands-down regime change champion, no one else even comes close.

By Terry Macalister for Truth Dig - LONDON—Civil society campaigners have accused the European Union of pouring unprecedented amounts of state aid into a huge energy project that runs counter to its own climate change objectives. Critics say funding the construction of new gas pipelines from the Caspian region is also causing misery to communities living along the 3,500 kilometre route, while helping to prop up an autocratic regime in Azerbaijan. The concerns about the Southern Gas Corridor project come amid expectations that the European Investment Bank (EIB), which is owned by European Union member states

By Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese. Today is the fifteenth anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Centers in New York where 3,000 people died. The immediate responses to the attack were panic, grief and ultra-nationalism, followed by illegal attacks on Afghanistan and then Iraq. Perhaps now that 15 years has passed, we should look back at the events and review decisions that were made in hopes of avoiding mistakes in the future. The leading presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, seem stuck on the same path we have been on for 15 years -- is more militarism the right path? Have war and military attacks made the region more stable, the United States more secure, reduced terrorism, prevented instability in Europe due to the refuege crisis? Or, has the path of militarism made all of this worse?

The New Normal In Pipeline Protesting: Expedite

September 10, 2016 Steve Horn, www.desmogblog.com Educate! Pipelines, Protests

By Steve Horn for Desmog - In the two months leading up to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' decision to issue to the Dakota Access pipeline project an allotment of Nationwide 12 permits (NWP) — a de facto fast-track federal authorization of the project — an army of oil industry players submitted comments to the Corps to ensure that fast-track authority remains in place going forward. This fast-track permitting process is used to bypass more rigorous environmental and public review for major pipeline infrastructure projects by treating them as smaller projects.
