#US Manufactured Crimes and Spied on Peaceful #Protesters During #Minneapolis Metro Surge, New Court Filing Reveals
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, August 14, 2026
MINNEAPOLIS -- "While #Dakotas were praying at a #SacredSpring for those held in federal detention at the #WhippleBuilding in Minneapolis -- the U.S. government was spying on, and stalking, the #WhippleWatchers, a new court document reveals.
"The government is refusing to release all of its documents on its surveillance of those watching the Whipple building. The Whipple building is on the site of a former concentration camp, where Dakota and Ho Chunk were imprisoned, suffered and died.
" 'The government admits withholding at least five #ProjectWhippleShield #ROIs (Reports of Investigation) from the initial disclosures,' the court filing states.
"In the current case, the court document for discovery filed yesterday describes how the U.S. government spied on and tracked peaceful protesters during the #resistance to #OperationMetroSurge.
"Not only were peaceful protesters spied on, #stalked and #doxxed, but the #surveillance was carried out to #ManufactureCrimes when none existed, states the court document filed by a defense attorney for one of the government's targets."

If the residents of South Central LA up and moved to the Dakotas, Republicans would be a minority party forever, and the new residents would have 4 out of 100 senators doing their bidding, plus however many House seats they'd get with larger populations. 4% of the Senate! Actual political power! Real legislation written by their representatives! Visits by celebrities! Money lavished on your states to get out the vote on either side!
California would still be a blue state. I promise.
They could do the same for Nebraska and Kansas, but the Dakotas are superior, for they are closer to Resistance Canada than they are to 2025's Confederate yahoo fascistic states, e.g., Texas.

Working off this, and taking a look at the #surface #map as of 7 a.m. Tuesday, there is already a decent #low-pressure system in the #Dakotas working towards the #Northland.
This low will ride the #jetstream into Canada, but the #cold #front connected to it will be the primary catalyst for #showers and #thunderstorms to form along it.
These storms will have the #energy in front of it to become strong or severe across our region.

Give the ENTIRE #Dakotas back to the #Natives (actual #Americans) and this filthy, dog murdering nazi whore can go back to her trailer park

Probably more than a decade ago now, @lnxw37a2 told me that promotion of an event through a daily post is acceptable. I guess let me know if these get annoying...
It's really hard to keep up with that pace when it isn't something you do full time, but I should probably try, at least until I get the speaker slots filled.

A system crossing the Dakotas on Thursday will bring an east-west band of snow moving from west to east, with potential for moderate to heavy snow. Here are the probabilities of 2 and 4 inches accumulation. Stay safe and warm! #snow #weather #Dakotas #KXLG #KXLGRadio #NWSAberdeen

#FossilFuel firms spent millions on #US lawmakers who sponsored #antiprotest bills
About 60% of #OilAndGasIndustry operations protected from protest due to money spent on lobbying, says #Greenpeace USA report
Nina Lakhani
23 Oct 2023"Fossil fuel companies have spent millions of dollars on lobbying and campaign donations to state lawmakers who sponsored anti-protest laws – which now shield about 60% of US gas and oil operations from protest and civil disobedience, according to a new report from Greenpeace USA.
"Eighteen states including #Montana, #Ohio, #Georgia, #Louisiana, #WestVirginia and the #Dakotas have enacted sweeping anti-protest laws which boost penalties for trespass near so-called critical infrastructure, that make it far riskier for communities to oppose pipelines and other fossil fuel projects that threaten their land, water and the global climate.
"Another four states have enacted narrower versions of the same law, but which could still be exploited to issue trumped-up charges against peaceful protesters. Many were based on a 'model bill' promoted by the industry-funded American Legislative Exchange Council (Alec).
"According to the report, nine of the top 10 companies that lobbied most for anti-protest bills since 2017 are fossil fuel companies, including US companies #ExxonMobil, #KochIndustries and #MarathonPetroleum, as well as Canadian companies #Enbridge and #TCEnergy (#TransCanada).
"In addition, 25 fossil fuel and energy companies have contributed more than $5m to state anti-protest bill sponsors in this timeframe, data from political finance trackers #OpenSecrets and #FollowTheMoney shows."

@Alan There are TWO #Dakotas because #Republicans had the power at the time and wanted four seats in order to stack the deck in the Senate.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakota_Territory#Statehood
#DC and #PuertoRico don't have #Congressional representation or #Statehood because they're majority BROWN PEOPLE, and Republicans fear that means they would vote for #Democratic candidates in all races.

So what happened with this thread?
Three part interview series from indianz.com showing the allies and action that supports the sovereign rights of indigenous peoples and the LEGAL TREATIES that the US Gov't (which claims to be a law-oriented entity) is _required_ to honor.

They didn't mention anywhere that Trump or his supporters are allowed to trespass... ). Hey military bros and sistahs: Taxpayers aren't paying you guys to protect a murderer!Search tags on ecosteder: #MMIW #HonorTheTreaties #Dakotas

Great interview with Nick Tilsen (NDN Collective) about how the Oglala Sioux and Cheyenne River people are making it known that they explicitly prohibit the colonist's "President" from trespassing and intruding on their sovereign sacred territory. He does not have permission at this time.
The colonial state of South Dakota's "governor" Kristi Noem recently stared her hideous face and vacant, dead eyes into a TV camera and insisted that neither masks nor social distancing would be required the rally Trump wants there.
As Covid-19 cases have been accelerating in several states, the idiocy of colonist leaders cannot be underestimated.
Lots of love to the indigenous people of the region; keep yourselves safe.

Only one case and zero deaths?
The unmistakably wise Julian Runner Bear informs the disease of Kristi Noem and her pompous, pasty-faced goons and monstrosities that, "No", they are _not_ allowed anywhere near protected territories.
"“Governor Noem miscalculates our level of dedication to protect our most vulnerable people from crony capitalism’s thrust to force us to open our economy as they choose to do,” Runner Bear wrote."
Smart move: that colonist governor is a proven vector of disease.

The flood, floods and mythic flood stories 7 North America
By the indigenous peoples of the Americas we can find also several myths of a great deluge. The K’iche’ and Maya peoples in Mesoamerica having the best well-known folk tales.
One of the Maya peoples, the K’iche’ (or in previous Spanish spelling: Quiché, associated with the ancient Maya civilization, reached the peak of their power and influence during the Postclassic period. El Quiché forms the heartland of the K’iche’ people. In pre-Columbian times, the K’iche’ settlements and influence reached beyond the highlands, including the valley of Antigua and coastal areas in Escuintla.
In the Popol Vuh (“Pop wuj” in proper K’iche – “the book of events”), one of the most significant surviving Mesoamerican literary documents and primary sources of knowledge about Maya societal traditions, beliefs and mythological accounts, a product of the 16th century K’iche’ people, we can find a compilation of mythological and ethno-historical narratives known to these people at that time, which were drawn from earlier pre-Columbian sources (now lost) and also oral traditional storytelling.
Like by other peoples we also can find a narrative trying to explain how everything began. They too give their version of the creation myth, they modelled from corn dough according to their genesis, relating how world and humans were created by the gods, the story of the divine brothers, and the history of the K’iche’ from their migration into their homeland up to the Spanish conquest.
The largest ethnic groups in Guatemala, ethnically Maya and living in the highlands to the north and the west of Lake Atitlán, primarily in the departments of Quetzaltenango, Totonicapan, and El Quiché, also have their story of sky without any obstruction, in which clouds were placed, gods being worried that their creations would “become as great as gods” and therefore limited the clarity with which their works saw. Thus were created the first fathers of the K’iche’. Next, the gods created the four women who would be the mothers of the K’iche’ people. Other lineage heads, whose descendants would form the other tribes, were also created in this time before the dawn. But when those people did not behave properly nest to each other, the land became undulated by the force of the gods. In the lore of the flood the world of the people is made in no place to live any more for animals and people, except for those who listened to the warning God gave and had taken their refuge in the huge canoe or ark.
By oral tradition children got warned to listen to their gods so that they would not bring judgement over them like they had done in the past by bringing water over mankind. It became considered the task within each tribe for elders to act as repositories of cultural and philosophical knowledge and to be the transmitters of such vital information, giving the next generation a warning of the importance to live properly respecting the work of the gods and making sure that people grew up with the “basic beliefs and teachings, encouraging…faith in the Great Spirit, the Creator“.
The Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa, one of seven federally recognized bands of Ojibwe people located in present-day Wisconsin,is a tribe of Native Americans in North America who have lived in a land which is almost entirely covered by a forest and several lakes. For them water has played a very important role. Following the Seven Fires Prophecy, that marks phases, or epochs, in the life of the people on Turtle Island, Anishinaabe leaders ordered their warriors to expand to the west after they learned that the people mentioned in the prophecy had invaded in the East.
The teachings of the ‘Seven Fires prophecy’ also state that when the world has been befouled and the waters turned bitter by disrespect, human beings will have two options to choose from, materialism or spirituality. If they chose spirituality, they will survive, but if they chose materialism, it will be the end of it. It also reminds the people of the Second Fire where the nation was camped by a large body of water. It was the time the direction of the Sacred Shell was lost and the Midewiwin was diminished in strength. Though it was also the time a boy would have been born to point the way back to the traditional ways (Could this be referring to the descendant of Noah and King David, who would be called the Messiah?). Of that saviour who comes after such deluge is being said he will show the direction to the stepping stones to the future of the Anishinabe people or people from the waters or Iyo-ḣaḣatoŋwaŋ (“cascading-waterfalls people”) later known by the French as Saulteurs (“cascaders”) and Saulteaux (“cascades”).
Funny to notice that one of their prophets wrote
“Beware if the light skinned race comes wearing the face of death. You must be careful because the face of brotherhood and the face of death look very much alike. If they come carrying a weapon … beware. If they come in suffering … They could fool you. Their hearts may be filled with greed for the riches of this land. If they are indeed your brothers, let them prove it. Do not accept them in total trust. You shall know that the face they wear is one of death if the rivers run with poison and fish become unfit to eat. You shall know them by these many things {Source: Benton-Banai, Edward, The Mishomis Book – The Voice of the Ojibway (St. Paul: Red School House Publishers, 1988).Chief Bone Necklace an Oglala Lakota from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (1899)The Dakota Indians, a Native American tribe composing two of the three main subcultures of the Sioux /ˈsuː/ people, with the Santee (Isáŋyathi or Isáŋ-athi; “knife” + “encampment”, ″dwells at the place of knife flint″), Woodland people who thrived on hunting, fishing and farming, who reside in the eastern Dakotas, central Minnesota and northern Iowa, plus the Yankton, and the Yanktonai (Iháŋktȟuŋwaŋ and Iháŋktȟuŋwaŋna; “Village-at-the-end” and “Little village-at-the-end”), who reside in the Missouri River area, also have oral stories about a great deluge, which still may go round.
Problem with those native people is that their stories are not yet fully recorded and by the contemporary evolution and non-interest in previous history lots of wisdom may get lost.
