The Circus is Coming to Town: The Bizarre Lawsuit of Energy Transfer v Greenpeace and Red Warrior Society

The Circus is Coming to Town


The Bizarre Lawsuit of Energy Transfer v Greenpeace and Red Warrior Society

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, updated Feb. 16, 2025

The trial of Energy Transfer v Greenpeace is scheduled to begin in North Dakota court in Mandan on Feb. 24, 2025. It's been nine years since the Dakota Access Pipeline resistance. Now, Greenpeace International says the pipeline is trying to shut it down with a frivolous $300 million lawsuit.

Greenpeace says the pipeline company doesn't want the world to know the Water Protectors resistance at Standing Rock was an Indigenous-led movement. Meanwhile, Energy Transfer has been slapping Water Protectors with third party subpoenas to extract their information, and fighting Unicorn Riot media for its internal records in the Minnesota Supreme Court.
