A significant leak in the Keystone Pipeline has renewed environmental concerns and protests in North Dakota. Indigenous groups, including the Sioux tribe at Standing Rock, are opposing plans to double the capacity of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Critics note that major U.S. news outlets have largely ignored the story, leaving coverage to international outlets like Al Jazeera.

Authorities in North Dakota cleared the final protesters from the Dakota Access Pipeline camp as the deadline to vacate passed. While most protesters left voluntarily, several holdouts were arrested. Protester Chase Iron Eyes described the eviction as "ethnic cleansing," a term criticized for cheapening the historical meaning of the phrase.

A viral video depicts a woman in a coffee shop launching into an elaborate, dramatic monologue about Flint, Michigan, Standing Rock, and her support for Hillary Clinton. While one host suspects the performance is a staged improv bit intended to mock activists, the other argues that the behavior is indistinguishable from real-world political zealotry seen on social media. The rant includes a reference to Donald Trump as a "crazy tangerine."

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/883-throne-sniffing/chapter/standing-rock-pipeline-protests-and-warren-buffett.md

The protests at Standing Rock against the Dakota Access Pipeline are analyzed. The hosts suggest the protests may be covertly supported to protect Warren Buffett's interests in the Burlington Northern railroad, which currently transports oil. They criticize the Obama administration's lack of direct involvement, noting they have only sent "monitors" to the site.

### Moral Self-Licensing, Standing Rock Facebook Check-ins, Iranian Green Movement

- **Episode:** [874: Trump Trope](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/874-trump-trope.md)
- **Published:** 2016-11-04
- **Time:** 3:58–7:50
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/874-trump-trope/chapter/moral-self-licensing-standing-rock-facebook-check-ins-iranian-green-movement.md

The concept of moral self-licensing is examined through the lens of over one million people "checking in" at Standing Rock on Facebook to support pipeline protesters without being physically present. This behavior is compared to previous digital activism trends like the 2009 Iranian Green Movement and changing profile icons for various causes. Such actions are characterized as innocuous gestures that allow individuals to feel they have contributed to a cause while avoiding substantive action.

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is protesting the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, citing threats to their drinking water and the destruction of sacred burial grounds. While the pipeline does not cross tribal lands, it passes underneath the Missouri River nearby. The Army Corps of Engineers is under fire for granting permits without sufficient tribal consultation, leading the governor of North Dakota to call in the National Guard.

### Tribal Consultation, Archaeological Surveys in North Dakota

- **Episode:** [859: Army of Conquest](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/859-army-of-conquest.md)
- **Published:** 2016-09-11
- **Time:** 1:46:53–1:49:50
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/859-army-of-conquest/chapter/tribal-consultation-archaeological-surveys-in-north-dakota.md

Archaeological surveyors in North Dakota describe the subjective nature of identifying sacred sites like burial cairns and stone effigies. Under the Section 106 process, tribal consultation is required because only tribe members have the standing to determine what is sacred. Experts suggest that the destruction of sites during pipeline construction likely resulted from a lack of proper consultation rather than intentional malice by the oil companies.

Native American tribes, led by the Standing Rock Sioux, are protesting the construction of the $3.8 billion Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota. Video footage captured by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! shows private security guards using pepper spray and attack dogs against protesters who claim the pipeline threatens their water supply and burial grounds. Experts criticized the security personnel for using untrained dogs in a chaotic and excessive manner.

### Chris Rock Political Comedy and Stand-up Specials

- **Episode:** [56: 100 Billion Dollars!](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/56-100-billion-dollars.md)
- **Published:** 2008-11-08

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/56-100-billion-dollars/chapter/chris-rock-political-comedy-and-stand-up-specials.md

Chris Rock's recent comedy special is criticized for being overly preachy and political in its opening segments. The production's decision to cut between ten different global concert locations is viewed as a distraction that breaks the rhythm of the jokes. While the latter half of the special returned to Rock's classic observational humor, the political lecturing was seen as unnecessary for a comedian of his stature.
