America is "mowing" the lawn; and the lawn is us.

The North Dakota Pipeline project makes it into the side-stream media every day. For whatever reasons, the story is too insignificant for the main-stream media to touch. Although, for people who think like me, the reason is not so hard to figure out.

However, I was watching a side-stream news outlet that I generally respect only to hear them discuss the story in awkwardly superficial terms. They used the required terms like "water protectors," "Native Americans," and in referring to the goons dressed as police, they were sufficiently disgusted.

Nonetheless, there was something missing. The story was passionless and mechanical, as though, it was just another Goon vs. Protestor story. The kind that have punctuated American history for a hundred years. Most don't recall or have never heard of the GM auto-workers "sit-down" strike in Flint Michigan in 1936. At the time is was GM workers who were protesting and it was GM that called in the thugs, goons and general all-round shitheads to breakup the strike. Like now the police mercenaries were armed with guns and tear gas, but unlike now, when the National Guard was called in by Roosevelt, it was not to shoot the protestors, but to protect them from the police and GM strike busters, or as I call them, blue-collar GM criminals.

It was as though the people telling the story were completely missing the most important message.

America is "mowing" the lawn!

For your consideration, my comment to the video and the video are shown below.

I thought the conversation was a bit superficial since in a very real sense, the US Government declared open combat against the citizens of the United States of America. This was not pushing and shoving, this was warfare by a militarized mercenary police force against unarmed citizens. When Israel does this in Palestine, it's called "mowing the lawn." Wake up America, your government is "mowing the grass" in North Dakota.
