Democrats who oppose the Keystone XL pipeline have thousands of dollars invested in direct competitors to the company looking to build the pipeline, public records show.

A recent environmental assessment by the State Department was seen as a step toward the pipeline’s approval, but Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., remains opposed to its construction.

“In my view, there is now enough evidence to conclude that construction of this pipeline is not in America’s long-term interest,” Kaine said in a statement on the review.

Keystone War?

NextNewsNetwork

Published on Dec 3, 2014
Could war ever break out again between Washington and South Dakota’s Indian tribes?
Well, at the very least, an information war is simmering.

In fact, an Oglala Lakota Indian and newspaper editor maintains that the Keystone XL Pipeline is an act of war against South Dakota tribes.
As editor-publisher of the weekly Native Sun News, Tim Giago wrote in his late-November column:
“The Keystone XL Pipeline that is being pushed by TransCanada may well be the beginning of the final war between the United States government and the Indian Nations.”

He boldly added: “A word of caution to TransCanada and the U.S. government: please do not disregard the determination of the Indian people when they say they will fight this pipeline to their deaths if need be.”

Giago’s newspaper operates out of southwestern South Dakota—home to the Wounded Knee massacre site of 1890.

At the site, U.S. troops, 124 years ago this month, opened fire on some 350 followers of Sioux Chief Big Foot. The troops were charged with arresting Big Foot and disarming his warriors.

Today, a somber cemetery of descendants of the dead is located at the site. Many who were killed are buried on the vast, windblown range near that cemetery.

That was perhaps the last time all-out war existed between Washington and South Dakota tribes.

Asked whether seeing the Keystone as a virtual act of war is shared widely by South Dakota tribal members, Giago remarked: “I would say unanimously the feeling is that strong.”

He added that, while the Keystone is being built piecemeal, it has not traversed South Dakota yet, where TransCanada plans to run it through sacred Indian lands from the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty.

Various newspapers have run TransCanada ads about pipeline jobs and other benefits, but the Native Sun News refused to run them, even while most newspapers ran the ads and say little about tribal concerns.

Giago’s main weapon, however, is the pen, not the sword. Using his column to chronicle legislative matters in Washington D.C., he added:
“South Dakota’s Republican leadership of [U.S. Sen.] John Thune and [Congresswoman] Kristi Noem always march lockstep with other

Republican robots. Neither of them care that South Dakota’s largest minority, the people of the Great Sioux Nation, diametrically oppose the pipeline.”

The House voted in mid November to continue the Keystone.

But South Dakota’s Indians got a slight reprieve when the Senate defeated the Keystone bill by a single vote last month during the Lame-Duck session that will soon adjourn.

However, the new Republican-controlled Senate to be seated in January is fully expected to pass the bill.

Yet the tribes are not the only ones affected by the Keystone.

In a nation where “all roads lead to Washington,” white property owners in Texas and Nebraska have had their own clashes with Alberta-based TransCanada and its Washington backers.

The company has used “eminent domain” land-acquisition powers to force pipeline sections southward and take legal action against landowners who resist below-market payments to traverse private property.

So, perhaps Indians and U.S. citizens are co-inmates in an economic matrix that elevates corporate projects like the Keystone over land rights, even as solar, biofuels and various other energy options are minimized in favor of vested interests, keeping the planet addicted to big oil.
