#mineralrights — Public Fediverse posts

Among all the criminal things the Felon in Chief has been doing this one might not get much attention but still, blackmailing a government by threatening to kill their citizens if they don't hand over mineral rights if pretty low.

Buffy's Censored Words Led to Revelations in New #LeonardPeltier Film Premiered at Sundance

"My girlfriend Annie Mae talked about uranium
Her head was filled with bullets and her body dumped
The FBI cut off her hands and told us she'd died of Exposure…"
- Buffy Saint Marie, Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee, 1992.

TSAILE, #NavajoNation -- "The words of Buffy Sainte Marie, censored by Indian Country Today, led to revelations about Oglala President Dick Wilson's secret land deal on Pine Ridge in the new film Free
Leonard Peltier, which premiered at Sundance, producer #JesseShortBull told Censored News.

"Buffy's interview at Dine' College in 1999 was censored for seven years. Before I was fired as a staff reporter, a portion of the interview was published by the newspaper -- but one paragraph was still censored. In the still censored portion, Buffy referred to a secret land deal on the day of the shoot out at the #JumpingBull property on #PineRidge. Buffy said, 'Who recalls that on that day one-eighth of the reservation was transferred in secret -- on that day. It was the part containing uranium. That is what never seems to be remembered.'

"Dickie Wilson planned to turn over the #MineralRights in the Badlands to the U.S. government. The U.S. government wanted the land for uranium mining. Dick Wilson's secret plan was discovered in the documents in the BIA file cabinets by the #AmericanIndianMovement, during the takeover of the #BIA building in Washington in 1972.

"Following the premiere of #FreeLeonardPeltier at the Sundance Film Festival, Jesse Short Bull, Oglala Lakota, and director of the film, reveals how Buffy's words led to the search for the facts about #DickWilson's #UraniumMining scheme with the U.S. government. 'Buffy's song about Anna Mae really shocked me, she outlined it so well,' Short Bull said. 'The plans for mineral development for Pine Ridge were discovered at the 1972 BIA takeover, and by the 1980's the big wig energy companies came to Pine Ridge with big ideas for development."

@benhamill The Strait Dope covered this in 2015, for another opinion. TL;DR: no established law.

https://www.straightdope.com/21344309/do-property-lines-extend-to-the-center-of-the-earth

The question's come up in several contexts.

#RuleOfCapture is a #CommonLaw (case law) doctrine which arose from wild game but which came to be applied to mineral rights, notably water, oil, and gas. It's ... really bad law, IMO, but still serves as precedent.

Mineral rights played a role in the Iraq-Kuwait War of 1992, in which Iraq claimed Kuwait was tapping oil reservoirs within Iraq's borders.

It's also been mooted in the context of carbon capture:
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/international-and-comparative-law-quarterly/article/abs/digging-deep-property-rights-in-subterranean-space-and-the-challenge-of-carbon-capture-and-storage/408416F3ACB16666E74AF08B1D6D17DD

It's worth recognising that much law is based on 1) experienced conflicts and 2) effectual enforcement ability. Maritime territorial waters came to be defined largely by the effective range of shore-based cannon. Five-mile guns -> five-mile law. 20-mile guns -> 20 mile law. 200 miles isn't the outer bound of radar and fighter aircraft or missiles, but does reflect a reasonable limit for same. Note that the US claims airspace (and transit fees) for much of the Pacific Ocean AFAIR.
