Breaking: Nat Guard deployed against #NoDAPL-but most construction equipment already disabled

On Thursday, Sep 8, the governor of North Dakota activated the National Guard against Native Americans defending the Missouri River upstream of the Standing Rock Sioux reservtion from the Dakota Access Pipeline. Reports are the deployment is 6-8 soldiers at each of the highway checkpoints surrounding the protesters camps. There's just one problem for the pipeline builders: Unicorn Riot is reporting that most of their equipment was "unusable after being so heavily vandalized" on Tuesday!. Thus the National Guard cannot prevent protesters from monkeywrenching the bulldozers simply because it has already been done.

An arrest warrant was issued for Green Party Presidential candidate Jill Stein for spraypainting one of the bulldozers, apparently the press and any enemy surveillance were so focussed on her they have no idea who was doing more than spraypaining at the same time. Spraypaint does not make a bulldozer inoperable, but there are plenty of things that do, and the parts to repair dozers don't come from the local Autozone either. Some take days to order and have delivered, and anyone bringing them in will have to enter the standoff between the National Guard and thousands of Native American warriors and their supporters.

All phone signals are being jammed by either the National Guard or the police, so news coming out of Sacred Stone Camp and Red Warrior Camp has to be brought out by hand and uploaded at places that have wifi connection to landline internet access, which is more difficult to jam.
