Calling All Americans... Time to Take a Stand at Standing Rock

Staff Writer, DL Mullan
Private Property / Rights
_____________________________

Standing Rock, North Dakota has become another stand off between corporate profits and individual property rights. If you believe in Climate Change or not, this situation has proven once again that our federal government is lawless and law enforcers are following illegal orders.

Native Lands, First Nations are private lands. No corporation or person should be allowed access to these lands without expressed permission of the people residing there. This stance is not up for debate. Would you want someone coming into your home to build a pipeline or digging up your relatives because it served the purpose of corporate profits? 

Americans have a choice: keep watching sports or actually do the right thing. 

Militias with the permission of the Sioux tribe should be up there guarding against the destruction of private property. 

Everyone else not within driving distance to protest at Standing Rock should be calling their federal representatives about this fiasco. We the People need to demand this pipeline ceased. The Army Corp of Engineers has exceeded its legal authority. 

How Americans can rise up against Globalism, Corporate takeover of our resources, and political graft: 

Call Your Representatives... The House of Representatives 
Call your Senators... The Senate  

Call the President himself... The White House
Here you can submit you comments and questions online via this White House form.  

Call Supreme Court Justices....  The Supreme Court

Why the Supreme Court, you ask? Without their decisions like Kelo and the Affordable Care Act, we would not be in half the messes we are in today. The Court just like the rest of the government are acting without our consent or authority. They are acting as a dictatorship oligarchy for the elite. 

That must end.

Take Action. Take it now. Take it every chance you have.

Until the ire of the People is more powerful than corporate lobbying and graft as well as the elitist power structure's command and control of our politicians, then we have no hope to regain our sovereign rights as a people and as a nation. 

The first act is to respect others private property.  

End the Stand off at Standing Rock.

How Would You Look in 2000 Years? Full Tequesta Skeleton Found in Florida

While construction crews were replacing an area with new waterlines, an intact skeleton of a Native American Indian was discovered. Pine Island Road in Davie, Florida was the site of this historic find. 

With pottery and other artifacts dating to around 2000 years ago found near and around the body, the conclusion is that the female, 20-30 years old, and 5 feet tall was an member of the Tequesta. 

“It’s either Tequesta or the member of a people that predates the Tequesta,” said Bob Carr of the Archaeological and Historical Conservancy in Davie. “It’s unusually well preserved, considering it’s been under a highway with thousands of cars going over it every day.”

Two contemporary tribes overseeing the remains asked that no photographs be released to the public out of respect for the decedent. Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, as known as NAGPRA, the Seminole and Miccosukee Indian Tribes in South Florida will be taking responsibility for the reburial. 
The Tequesta were a small, peaceful, Native American tribe. They were one of the first tribes in South Florida and they settled near Biscayne Bay in the present-day Miami area. They also occupied the Florida Keys at times, and may have had a village on Cape Sable, at the southern end of the Florida peninsula, in the 16th Century. The central town (also called Tequesta) was probably at the mouth of the Miami River. They built many villages at the mouth of the Miami River and along the coastal islands. A village had been at that site at least since 1200. The tribal chief was also called Tequesta. The chief lived in the main village at the mouth of the Miami River. 
The Tequesta Indian Nation once lived in Southeastern Florida prior to the arrival of the European settlers. The tribe was moved to Cuba, reportedly, in the 1770's, but mostly likely died out due to disease, slavery, and territorial battles.
