While the bizarre court case continues in Mandan, North Dakota, Energy Transfer v Greenpeace, our most viewed articles include this one from the medics at Standing Rock, who were targeted and attacked as the medics were treating water protectors on Oct. 27, 2016 -- a tactic that was used in Palestine when medics were targeted and assassinated during the past two years. At Standing Rock, law enforcement had silencers on their weapons. "Why do they have silencers if they are here for peace," a medic said, who was fired on by law enforcement using shotguns loaded with lead-filled bean bags. According to the Geneva Convention, knowingly firing at a medic wearing clear insignia is a war crime. - Censored News, March 11, 2025
