Apartheid Makers -- Silencing Dissent, Spy Towers and Obsession with a Palestinian Flag at Standing Rock



Apartheid Makers -- Silencing Dissent, Spy Towers and Obsession with a Palestinian Flag at Standing Rock

French translation by Christine Prat:
Forty-three U.S. Senators want to make it a felony to boycott Israel, and support Palestine. Meanwhile, MuckRock reveals that unlicensed TigerSwan mercenaries stalked Palestinians at Standing Rock camps. Public relations firms hired by Dakota Access Pipeline -- and their web of select media -- were particularly obsessed over a Palestinian flag at Standing Rock.
This comes as Israeli Apartheid contractor Elbit Systems is ready to build spy towers on Tohono O'odham Nation land, where there are O'odham burial places.

Israeli contractor ready to build spy towers on O'odham burial places


The U.S. has already given the contract to build spy towers on Tohono O'odham land to Elbit Systems, an Israeli government defense contractor in Israel who carries out Apartheid daily at Palestinian borders, and overhead with drones.
So far, the elected Tohono O'odham Legislative Council has not supported the Gu Vo District.
Gu Vo demanded that the U.S. and Israel halt the current plans to build these spy towers on Tohono O'odham land where there are O'odham burial places. Gu Vo has objected by resolution, and been ignored. http://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2017/05/a-nation-of-bullies-us-israeli-spy.html
At Standing Rock, the support from Palestine, was monitored by TigerSwan, the mercenaries hired by Dakota Access Pipeline. These highly paid mercenaries were hired to spy, infiltrate, and ultimately to organize a militarized police force against unarmed elderly, women and children. TigerSwan was not licensed to work in North Dakota. Previously, TigerSwan's owner had charges filed against him for domestic violence.
Unlicensed TigerSwan was the head of DAPL security at Standing Rock, overseeing a large number of private security contractors, and ultimately a massive, heavily armed police force with militarized vehicles.

Dakota Access Pipeline relied on TigerSwan mercenaries, and public relations firms connected to conservative media, to do its dirty work at Standing Rock

MuckRock today reports on the surveillance at Standing Rock water protectors camps, and specifically on how there was surveillance on the Palestinian flag in one of the camps.
"PR flack for Bush wars worked to discredit #NoDAPL as 'out of state agitators' with ties to Palestine and Soros," writes Steve Horn and Curtis Waltman in MuckRock.

"Emails show that the firms Delve and Off the Record Strategies, apparently on contract with the National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA), worked in secret on talking points, media outreach, and communications training for law enforcement dealing with Dakota Access opponents mobilized at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in Cannon Ball, North Dakota," MuckRock reports.
"As previously reported by DeSmog Blog, the GOP-connected firm DCI Group led the forward-facing public relations efforts for Dakota Access via a front group called Midwest Alliance for Infrastructure Now (MAIN). Today MAIN has morphed into a national effort known as Grow America’s Infrastructure Now (GAIN)."
