Please post & distribute.
MNN. 7. 2016. “Onondaga 15” has laid to rest the case of Jones v. Parmley so the jury can deliberate. The ‘team’ goes back to court on October 11, 2016, Tuesday, 9.30 am.
You're kidding? "I was following orders", didn't work?
NYS I-81 INDIAN Detail: “Hey! I was following orders”. 
Support would be appreciated. [Room 6, 12th Floor, 100 South Clinton St. Syracuse, 9.30 am.] 
Freddie, Teddie, Joe & Tiny Tim end another day at 'don't-show-don't-tell' court.
New York State enforcers Freddie, Teddie, Joe & Tiny Tim end another grueling ‘won’t-show-won’t-tell’ court day.
Will it be the “Onondaga 15” or the I-81 INDIAN Detail?
INDIAN Detail ordered to take down the sacred celebration at Onondaga.
INDIAN Detail ordered to take down thanksgiving ceremony at Onondaga.

October 10, Scullin gave everybody the day off to celebrate Columbus Day. The beginning of the ongoing genocide started in 1492. th-1October 31: Halloween is “trick or treat” day when people try to disguise their shame. Like the I-81 INDIAN Detail disguised themselves and took their name tags off to brutally attack men, women and children during a thanksgiving sacred ceremony.  thahoketoteh.
Scullin [Bones] and the crew would probably like to follow the Grateful Dead to get away from Jones v. Parmley: “I ran down to the levee, But the Devil caught me there. He took my twenty dollar bill, And he vanished in the air”…[Friend of the Devil].

Heavy Police Force Blocks Standing Rock Prayer Oct. 6, 2016


Armored police vehicles and riot police block Standing Rock water protectors today, Thursday, Oct. 6, 2016, as they move forward in a caravan to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline construction.
BULLIES
The photos and videos of this excessive force of police, showing up with armored vehicles in riot gear, when Standing Rock water protectors are unarmed and offering prayers, shows the world what most of the world already knew: Police in the U.S. have become bullies. Instead of serving the people, police in the U.S. serve politicians and corporations, and the most corrupt of them all -- the U.S. government. -- Censored News
Watch videos below of today.

International Rivers shares this inspiring message from the Mekong in Thailand

Our Thai partners hadn't heard of the Sioux struggle to protect the Missouri River from a gas pipeline in North Dakota. But when they learned what was happening, they had a message for their sisters and brothers in the movement: The Mekong stands with Standing Rock.
Solidarity is real. And it knows no boundaries
