1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,439 Speaker 1: At the end of March, the pipeline company, energy Transfer, 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: when a lawsuit against green Peace for six hundred and 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: sixty six million dollars. Energy Transfer claimed that the Standing 4 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: Rock Movement, the big Indigenous led effort to stop the 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: Decoda Access pipeline in twenty sixteen, was actually an anti 6 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: corporate conspiracy orchestrated by green Peace, and the jury agreed. 7 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: I was there when the verdict dropped. Can I ask 8 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: what you thought about all of this? One of the 9 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: worst first of the men decisions I've ever seen. 10 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 2: I've been practicing all over for sixty five years. I've 11 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 2: then seen anything like this. It's horrible. 12 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: This is absolutely bullshit, one hundred percent. They're treating us 13 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: a Native people like we're not competent enough to organize 14 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: and strategize something to protect our airlines and water. 15 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 2: It's sick. 16 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: If you read some of the news coverage of the case, 17 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: you might think there's two sides to this story. Transferred, 18 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 1: the company that built the Dakota Access pipeline, certainly has 19 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: its version. 20 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: Greenpeace maliciously misrepresented events within this community in an unrelenting 21 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 2: attempt to stop the construction of a pipeline that had 22 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 2: already obtained all of the necessary legal approvals. These are 23 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: the facts, not the fake news of the green Peace 24 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 2: propaganda machine, and Greenpeace has its version. This is an 25 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: attempt to scare anybody involved with protests from showing up. 26 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: But there's a bigger story here of an indigenous nation 27 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: fighting for its water, an environmental nonprofit facing extinction, and 28 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: an energy giant using the courts to punish protesters. To 29 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: tell this story, I had to dive into secretive private 30 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: security documents, into the network of people and organizations behind 31 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: this lawsuit, and into the courtroom at a trial closed 32 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: to cameras and audio reporters. What I found changed the 33 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: way I think about our justice system. Forever you see a. 34 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 2: Jury, you see a judge, it seems like a nice man, 35 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: but it's all been pre cooked. They create an angle 36 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: and then everybody has to follow. If it goes against 37 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: the angle they created, you are the radical. 38 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 1: You know green Peace was behind it. 39 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: They had no business here. 40 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: They're trying to point the finger at green Peace because 41 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: God forbid. Some Indians think for themselves. 42 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 2: This is a life and death issue to our indigenous people. 43 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: This is a life and death issue too, to life itself. 44 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: To water to the river.
