Obama breaks his silence on Dakota Access Pipeline, while hearts are broken at Standing Rock

President Obama woke up from his coma on Standing Rock, but he's still trying to fool people by saying nothing.
Obama said he wants the situation to "play out" a little more before doing anything. Play out a little more?
How many Lakota youths on horseback need to be shot with rubber bullets? How many women need to be abused by militarized police and strip searched by Morton County, then placed in dog cages with numbers written on their arms? How many Native elderly need to be arrested in ceremony?
What needs to happen Obama, for it to "play out" a little more?

In typical public relations format, Obama spoke and said nothing.
“We’re monitoring this closely, and you know I think that as a general rule my view is that there is a way for us to accommodate sacred lands of Native Americans,” Obama said in an interview with Now This, shared with MSNBC’s “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” Tuesday. 
“I think that right now the Army Corps [of Engineers] is examining whether there are ways to reroute this pipeline.” “Were going to let it play out for several more weeks and then determine whether or not this can be resolved in a way that I think is properly attentive to traditions of the first Americans,” Obama said, according to The Hill. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/energy-environment/303912-obama-were-examining-ways-to-reroute-the-nd

Dakota Access Pipeline is almost to the river now, ignoring the request of the Army Corps to voluntarily stop construction. DAPL has enlisted mercenaries, and the corrupt Morton County Sheriff's Department and profiteering Governor of North Dakota, to carry out vicious attacks on water protectors at Standing Rock.
Cheyenne River Sioux Chairman Harold Frazier met with Obama in Los Angeles, just before the militarized police attack on Native Americans and allies at Standing Rock last Thursday. Chairman Frazier appealed to Obama to intervene. Obama refused to help, and instead went golfing and to a $100,000 plate dinner for Democrats.
In May, Obama approved a presidential permit for DAPL owners to cross the border into Mexico with their fracked gas. Energy Transfer Partners bulldozed ancient Indian sites in Big Bend after obtaining Obama's permit.

MANDAN, North Dakota -- Morton Country Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier caged Standing Rock water protectors in "dog kennels" and wrote numbers on their arms, as was done in concentration camps.
After being caged in a 'dog kennel' and assigned a number as in the Nazi concentration camps, this water protector, in the video above, describes the heart break of the brutal police attack and arrests of Native American elders on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2016.
"They are good, strong people of our community," she said of the Native elders brutally arrested by police and National Guard. Dakota Access Pipeline is violating all human rights and civil rights as it rushes to complete the last stretch of pipeline construction.
She describes the heartbreak of ceremonial bundles on the ground and elders being arrested with their eagle feathers in their hair.
"No one had guns or anything," she said, describing facing the tear gas, sound cannons, percussion grenades, pepper spray and loaded assault weapons pointed at them.
She describes how the people stood up to the tear gas and the brutality inflicted on them that day, as they defending the sacred places, burial places, and sacred water of the Missouri River.
Then the water protectors, elders and youths, were taken in buses to jail.
"We were caged in dog kennels."
"We sat on the floor."
"We were marked with numbers."
"We were held in the garage."
They put the women in two dog kennels covered with tarps in the garage. They could not see out.
She said she could not wrap her mind around it.
Water protectors had numbers written on their arms, as was done by Nazis in concentration camps.

Morton Country Sheriff and the violent police and National Guard engaged in torture which they placed a hood over a water protector during a lock down to protect the water and burial places. These violent police further engaged in torture by pouring water over handcuffed water protectors in the cold.

Sacramento Area Activists Hold Protest in Solidarity with Standing Rock

Censored News
The Sacramento Area Friends and Relatives of the Lakota Nation sponsored a peaceful and indigenous faith-based event protest from 3 pm to 5 pm at the federal building at 501 I Street in Sacramento in support of the Standing Rock Sioux.
Fifteen people attended the event to call attention to and support the Standing Rocky Sioux Tribe of North Dakota and all Native American and non-Native American allies who have been assaulted in their struggle to stop the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL).
The protesters held colorful signs proclaiming, “Protect Our Water, “ “End Environmental Racism,” “No DAPL,” “Stand With Standing Rock,” “Native Rights Matter,” and “Love Water! Not Oil! No DAPL!” A number of people in vehicles passing by the event honked their horns in support of the protest.

Cannon Ball, Dakota del Norte, Estados Unidos- Uno de los médicos en la reservación Standing Rock describió como la policía atacaba selectivamente a los médicos y los arrestaba violentamente mientras ellos daban los primeros auxilios a pacientes durante un ataque violento de la policía contra los protectores del agua el jueves 27 de octubre de 2016 en un campamento dentro de las tierras protegidas por un tratado entre los indígenas y el gobierno federal. Esta área está en el paso de la construcción del oleoducto Dakota Access.

El personal médico vio que las armas de la policía tenían silenciadores.

“¿Si están aquí de manera pacífica, porque tienen silenciadores en sus armas?” Mientras los médicos batallaban por dar los primeros auxilios a los heridos y las víctimas de los ataques de los policías, ellos mismo se volvieron víctimas de ataques violentos y fueron arrestados también. “Los vehículos en los que estaban tenían el símbolo de la cruz roja,” “Ellos sabían que eramos médicos,” “Ellos me rociaron con gas pimienta de la cabeza a los pies,” “Me apuntaron con rifles en la espalda mientras daba tratamiento de emergencia a los pacientes.”

Video publicado el 27 de octubre de 2016

Actualizacion: La policía está atacando a los médicos. Dos médicos fueron arrestados y 200 civiles fueron arrestados.

Los médicos estaban al frente tratando de mover sus carros fuera del camino de los policías que estaban avanzando. Dos médicos estaban sentados en su camioneta. La policía se les acerco y los golpeo con sus macanas, dejándolos tirados en el piso. Los protectores del agua (manifestantes indígenas contra la petrolera) lograron levantarlos antes de que la policía se los llevara. Mientras tanto, la policía rodeo a un carro claramente identificado con un logotipo de la Cruz Roja y con personal médico identificado como tal. La policía se llevó a todo el personal médico incluido el conductor (otro médico) mientras el carro aún estaba en movimiento. Otro médico estaba frente al carro y casi fue arrollado por el carro que quedo en movimiento cuando la policía se llevó al conductor del vehículo repentinamente. Este fue sin duda un riesgo muy grande causado por la policía. Ambos médicos fueron arrestados. “Estamos pidiendo más ayuda aquí. Las cosas se han salido de control y la violencia ha incrementado. Necesitamos que nos apoyen y necesitamos ayuda financiera porque hemos perdido nuestro equipo medico en el desalojo de hoy”, -dijo un médico. Posteriormente también afirmaron lo siguiente:

“Por favor vengan a ayudarnos. Esta es nuestra pagina: www.medichealercouncil.com/volunteer”

“Por favor envíenos fondos para ayudar a remplazar la infraestructura y equipo médico perdido y dos tiendas de campaña gigantes para atender pacientes. www.cash.me/$medichealercouncil”

“Esto es real y necesitamos su ayuda y sus oraciones” “Oraciones y paz.”
