#EnergyTransfer's $300 Million Lawsuit Against #Greenpeace for #StandingRock #Resistance Delayed

STANDING ROCK, #NorthDakota -- "Energy Transfer's $300 million #SLAPP lawsuit against Greenpeace and Standing Rock #WaterProtectors for the resistance to #DakotaAccessPipeline has been delayed until February, due to a 'massive document dump' by Energy Transfer, Greenpeace told Censored News today.

"Originally, our trial was set for July 29th, 2024 – but due to a massive document dump by Energy Transfer in June, Greenpeace filed a request to have the trial date pushed back. The judge agreed, and moved our trial to February 24, 2025 through March 28, 2025," Lindsay Bigda, communication director, Democracy Resilience Program at Greenpeace USA told Censored News today.
Responding to questions, Greenpeace said #RedWarriorSociety and other water protectors are named in the lawsuit.

"'Red Warrior Society is still named in the lawsuit and last week our lawyers presented arguments for why it shouldn’t be (because it is not the sort of entity that can be sued). The two individuals, #CodyHall and #KrystalTwoBulls, are also still named, but were never served. (Greenpeace entities are the only ones that were served and are actively litigating),' Bigda told Censored News.

"'Very few jurisdictions have made steps to prevent the corporate legal warfare waged in SLAPPs to #SilenceDissent and freedom of expression. The United States has long failed to uphold #HumanRights and #Indigenous leaders have had no choice but to leave their precious homelands; and use international diplomacy to implore all those who will listen for an end to the #extractive industry violence.'

"'Europe played a key role in the #colonization of the planet. Now let's see if she, her people, and jurisdictions, can help in undoing and healing that historic wound. #IndigenousPeoples must continue to engage with Europe to seek justice and #corporate accountability.'

"Standing Rock water protectors have been served subpoenas in the case from Energy Transfer, as it seeks out information. #UnicornRiot fought the subpoena in #Minnesota and won its case to protect its internal media files. However, Energy Transfer has now asked the Minnesota Supreme Court to reconsider its case.

"Greenpeace clarified the reason for the subpoenas that water protectors and Unicorn Riot media were served with.
'Unicorn riot was never named in the lawsuit. They received a third party subpoena, along with many other activist groups and individuals (these folks are not parties to the case; rather, they are third parties that Energy Transfer wants info from in its case against Greenpeace,)' Bigda told Censored News.

"Mercenaries #TigerSwan Spied without a License, Provided Info to Law Enforcement

"Red Warrior Camp was a focus of the mercenaries hired by Energy Transfer at Standing Rock in September of 2016, as revealed in the court-ordered spy documents released.
TigerSwan was found working in North Dakota without a license from 2016 through 2017. As a result, the North Dakota regulatory board ordered that TigerSwan's spy files be released. The Intercept now has over 50,000 of TigerSwan's spy documents at Standing Rock, as a result of a lengthy court battle. Energy Transfer, employer of TigerSwan, fought the release of documents in North Dakota court, but the North Dakota Supreme Court upheld the decision to release TigerSwan's documents in 2022.

"The TigerSwan aerial photos included #OcetiSakowin Camp, Red Warrior Camp, and the other camps. The spy documents reveal that a U.S. Border Patrol drone was included in the aerial #surveillance and #infiltrators were placed in the water protector camps at Standing Rock and elsewhere.

"Meanwhile, after Standing Rock, TigerSwan's CEO formed a new company. Syria says they are stealing #Syria's oil. CNN reported about the secretive contract and the new company.

#Palestinians Targeted for Surveillance by TigerSwan at Standing Rock

"As soon as a single #Palestinian activist showed up at an anti-Dakota Access Pipeline camp on the edge of the Standing Rock reservation in 2016, intelligence analysts for the mercenary security firm TigerSwan were on alert," by Alleen Brown, Drilled and co-published with the Center for Media and Democracy."

With #SisterFriends at frontlines. Warrior POC women against ongoing colonial ecocide. I had not slept for 3 days & had not bathed in 8 days at that time. I was chaining myself to bridge & other infrastructure for over a week. I had experienced over 50 RCMP CIRG raids by this time & refused to stop fighting back. We, war survivors, do not back down from colonial forces easily.

It was reported that the Zionist infantry forces attempting to invade the eastern neighborhood of the southern Lebanese village of Khiam over the past two days were forced to retreat.

The withdrawal commenced after midnight on Thursday, during which Zionist forces fired approximately 40 white phosphorus projectiles and launched artillery strikes, as well as smokescreen airstrikes to conceal their movements.

The artillery fire primarily targeted the northern section of the former Khiam detention camp and the eastern area of the municipality, where ground confrontations occurred for about 15 hours.

The Zionist regime had been attempting to storm the city for over a week and due to Hezbollah’s resistance actions the occupation fled in disgrace.

Hezbollah pursued its high-end operations against Zionist occupation forces with a series of attacks throughout the day, in support of the steadfast people of Gaza and their Resistance and in defense of Lebanon and its people.

Beginning in the early morning, Hezbollah launched multiple missile barrages targeting gatherings of occupation forces in various settlements, including Zar’it, Shomera, and Even Menachem.

As the day progressed, the operations reached key military positions and sites such as the Beit Lid base and the Zovolon military industries base, near occupied Haifa.

For the first time, the Islamic Resistance fighters targeted the Haifa Technical Base, an Air Force base housing a college to train Air Force technicians, with a salvo of high-end missiles.

The Islamic Resistance’s fighters continue operating across several fronts, launching rocket barrages deep into occupied territories and engaging invading occupation forces on the border from point-blank.

Sunday, November 3 operations overview:

– At 7:30 am, Hezbollah fighters carried out three simultaneous attacks targeting gatherings of Zionist forces in the Zar’it, Shomera, and Even Menachem settlements with salvoes of rockets.

– At 8:30 am, Islamic Resistance fighters fired a rocket barrage at Zionist forces gathered in the Kedmat Tsvi settlement.

– At 9:45 am, Islamic Resistance fighters targeted the Beit Lid base, which is under Zionist Central Command and houses training camps for the Nahal Brigade and the Paratroopers Brigade, east of Netanya, with a barrage of high-end missiles, which accurately struck their targets.

The Resistance said this operation is part of its ongoing “Khaybar” operations, under the call of “Labbayka ya Nasrallah” [Here we respond to your call, O’ Nasrallah], as well as in support of the steadfast people of Gaza and their Resistance and in defense of Lebanon and its people.

– At 5:00 pm, for the first time, the Islamic Resistance fighters targeted the Haifa Technical Base, an Air Force base housing a college to train Air Force technicians, with a salvo of high-end missiles.

The Resistance said this operation is part of its ongoing “Khaybar” operations, under the call of “Labbayka ya Nasrallah” [Here we respond to your call, O’ Nasrallah], as well as in support of the steadfast people of Gaza and their Resistance and in defense of Lebanon and its people.

We will never lay down our weapons: Hezbollah unveils Imad 5 facility

“We will never leave the battlefield… We will never lay down our weapons,” with this title, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon earlier unveiled its new Imad 5 missile facility.

The footage shared by the Military Media displays fighters from Hezbollah riding their bikes through a forested area, followed by scenes of freedom fighters walking through a tunnel leading to an underground facility.

This tunnel is well-equipped for movement and houses missile launchpads.

Along the way, the fighters pass by a sign marking the facility as Imad 5 and then by a photo commemorating the martyred leader of the Resistance, the former Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, clearly marked with the words: “We swear by your blood.”

This serves as a clear affirmation of their commitment to treading on the path that Sayyed Nasrallah had charted for decades.

The video then shows the freedom fighters preparing advanced missiles for launch from their positions within the facility. These missiles are located several meters underground, and a blast door is seen opening above them.

The footage ends right before the missile launch with excerpts from a speech by martyred leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, in which he vowed, “We will never be weakened, we shall never be afraid, and we shall never surrender.”

“From here [we say]… we will never leave the battlefield… We will never lay down our weapons,” he further asserted.

Zionist regime fighting without strategy against Hezbollah: Israeli colonel

Earlier, security expert and reserve colonel in the Israeli occupation army, Kobi Marom, acknowledged that the occupation is currently engaged in combat on seven fronts without a cohesive strategy or clear mechanisms for resolution.

In remarks reported by Zionist Channel 12, he emphasized that the regime “is facing a challenging battle in Lebanon, characterized by drone activity and missile barrages.” Marom recognized the capabilities of the Resistance on this front, stating, “There is no doubt that there is a well-coordinated and sophisticated operation in place to challenge our systems.”

He added that “Hezbollah’s command and control system is being enhanced, along with its fire formation,” noting that this is the case “amid the evacuation of settlement units and the disruption of commercial activities.”

50,000 Israeli Soldiers Keep Failing to Occupy a Single Lebanese Village

Yedioth Ahronoth reported that "after a month of ground operations, 5 Israeli military divisions & a reserve brigade—over 50,000 soldiers, triple the number deployed in the 2006 July War—have failed to establish a foothold in southern #Lebanon. Despite extensive firepower and air support, the #Israeli #military has not managed to occupy a single village in South Lebanon."

The report attributes this failure to #Hezbollah’s "effective tactical strategies," which include multiple defensive lines equipped with munitions capable of accurately targeting Israeli armored vehicles, tanks, and soldiers. Additionally, it notes the army's difficulties in mapping Hezbollah’s positions and countering the threat posed by small, hard-to-detect drones.

In an interview, Colonel Jack Neriya, a former advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, explained that Hezbollah fighters are deliberately allowing Israeli forces to advance, only to trap them in ambushes. This tactic has created a dire situation for Israeli troops, including elite units like Golani and other commandos. Neriya warned that the human cost of any advance could be severe, potentially surpassing "Israel’s" total casualties since the late 1940s (via Al-Akhbar)

I am reading this book and learning a whole lot. About 20th century China, about modern day China, and about the nature of human resistance under the worst threats. And the way history can be weaponized by a regime, and how people can fight back to preserve the truth.

From 2015: About the cat piece, Banksy writes on his website, “A local man came up and said ‘Please – what does this mean?' I explained I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website — but on the internet people only look at pictures of kittens.”
