Lithium Americas announced this morning it is beginning construction on the Paiute Massacre Site at Thacker Pass. As usual, an environmental impact statement was rubber-stamped, and the courts complied with the corporation. -- Censored News

Calling it consultation, Lithium Americas held a meeting with Fort McDermitt Paiute in their community in northern Nevada in February. Earlier, the tribal chairman and his family members were hosted by Lithium Americas during a facility opening in Reno in 2022. Fort McDermitt Paiute community members said they were never told of an agreement made with Lithium Americas by some members. Paiute and Shoshone protested outside the federal court in January, but the court failed to halt the lithium mine. Three Native American Nations have filed another lawsuit to halt it -- the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, Burns Paiute Tribe and Summit Lake Paiute. On Wednesday, a federal appeals court refused to issue an emergency injunction to halt the lithium mine, which is being pushed as "green energy" by the Biden administration. -- Censored News
