Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
It is six am, June twenty nine. I have not
slept yet since the cops slept it around midnight last night. UM.
It's been a nice camp fire listening to birds. And
just now at six am, UH, we had the first
first share struck arrived for the day. Um. It's the

(00:25):
same kind of detective guy that was over yesterday. UM
and kind of in lead of things. Everyone in the
UH Stop Lane three camps brought in a wake up soon. Well,
we'll see what today has in store. Fifteen cars were

(00:46):
told the first day of the cop blockade, and the
tow trucks messed up the road so much that the
county had to send in a huge machine to regrade
the dirt road. Cops still weren't letting cars through, but
for day two people didn't put up a physical, cold
resistance to the sheriff's driveway blockade. There were other things
to figure out and strategize. It is early afternoon on

(01:07):
June nine. I'm still at the Stop Line three camp
in Minnesota. The all the all the protesters and water
defenders who got arrested yesterday just got back to the camp,
so they were released after one night in jail. UM
and they were they had there was a there was
a pretty pretty cheery greeting for them here at the

(01:31):
here at the Line three camp. Um. A few a
few of the people were a little little more somber
because of course their friends were in jail. But everyone
most people were pretty excited to see each other again. UM,
and most people seemed pretty optimistic. UM. So that's kind
of steady. Think that's kind of the state of things
right now. Uh to two Sheriff's trucks are still preventing

(01:56):
cars from going onto the driveway um at the stop
Line three camp, but so far there's been no passive
or active resistance to that today unlike yesterday. UM, So
we'll see if that changes in the next few hours.
I'm probably gonna head back to their first camp to
pick up some supplies and I'll decide what I do
from there. But I mean, the the atmosphere the Stop

(02:21):
Playing three camp is super unique. Um. It's a few
hundred probably people here now, pretty massive space. Uh. They
actually you know, own this property where they're basing the
camp out of them. They can move onto the like
for actions. They can move onto the like Line three site,
which is just like just across the way. Um, but

(02:43):
the fact that it's their property does give them some
distinct advantages in terms of how the law can crack
down on them without you know, having horrible objects on
the state's part. Um. But yeah, they have a really
they have a really good set up. They got farmed.
You know, they're growing food. They have really nice like kitchen.
You know, they like buildings and stuff. Um. Decent at
mant of tents. Um water is a little bit low,

(03:07):
but people are trying to figure that out, so we're
trying trying to go easy on the water at least
at the moment. It took longer than I thought, but
eventually I made my way back to the Earth First camp.
Just got back to earth First Camp. It is a
little bit past midnight, so technically it's now June. But
still still not slept since uh the night of, So

(03:29):
I'm excited to finally be back in my tent. People.
When when I arrived, people were having a small fire
and singing songs, so that was nice. Um, fox the
spider in my tent, I'll have to deal with that later. Um.
But anyway, there's still a decent amount of Earth First
people staying at the at the Line three camp. Um,

(03:54):
I assume some more we'll head over tomorrow. It's not
fully made up my mind what I'm gonna do yet,
but on lean lean towards probably staying at this camp,
trying to talk to some more people, and then the
last day I'll join wherever other people are doing. If
they're doing action, I'll I will be there in whatever

(04:14):
reporting capacity makes the most sense. UM. So yeah, I
mean everyone, there's there's more, more and more people are
coming back to Earth First camp right now. Um, tomorrow
might actually have some you know, it may be more
more of a full day. I'll try to swim in
the lake because it'd be a shame if I did
not do that for this trip. Um. But yeah, I

(04:38):
mean it's it's been an interesting almost forty eight hours
without sleep. Um and uh in dealing with all of
these issues surrounding how the sheriffs are trying to crack
down on the on the Line three protesters. Um oh,

(04:59):
I guess the one thing is like the Sheriff's actually
left and like the late afternoon um on the on
on the on the twenty nine, So we don't really
know what their plan is. UM. I heard some people
from like the Line three side, like I have initiated
some like um legal proceedings to help get like like

(05:23):
more clear legal access to the driveway to their own property. UM.
So that could be the reason why we left, But
we don't totally know why they like left so early,
like they did not they didn't stay super late to
di continue blocking off access to the driveway. So that
part is still up in the air. I'm sure. I'm
sure I'll find out more tomorrow and find out we did.

(05:45):
It's the night of June Wednesday. UM, let's have to
get up at like five thirty tomorrow. UM. There is
uh people are planning in action for tomorrow. UM. I
don't have any details for what's going on in order
to my understanding as many other people, because just today

(06:06):
we found out that like the reason why the cops
were blocking the driveway to the Line three protest camp
is because during that time, en Bridge, the company it's
a pipeline, completed drilling on one of the two spots
planned under the Mississippi River and they wanted to make
sure there wasn't any people there to prevent that. So

(06:29):
that's why the cops are blocking off access. To the
road UM from the protest camp. UM So because now
that that drilling spot is complete, I think that kind
of through wrenching people's protest plans for for tomorrow. UM.
So things are kind of up in the air. All
all I know is that I have to be up
early and we will be driving somewhere. UM. I think

(06:53):
people are probably gonna be locking down, like with like
lock boxes and probably soft blockades. UM So expecting you know,
arrests to happen. UM. Yeah, but the mood, the mood
is pretty tense right now. Everyone's pretty anxious. UM. We're
just kind of doing doing doing doing a weight in

(07:13):
game at the moment. UM, I'm gonna try my form
my best to not get arrested, but that's not really
up to me, UM, because I mean, I just don't
know what the location is going to be. Like, I
don't know, there's just so little information, and I have
no idea what the what the cops reaction is going
to be to any of any of this. UM. The

(07:36):
sheer number of people committed to doing the land offense
and water defense and UM committed to like you know,
showing up in person to UM advocate for the treaties
to be actually followed. I mean, of course there this treaties,
most of them were you know, there's there's there's reasons

(07:57):
to talk about how how people were coerced into signing
certain treaties. But in fact is the ones that we
have right the ones that people have right now, aren't
even being voled um in terms of you know, stuff
for this Line three pipeline and crossing over indigenous land
um and sacred areas. So so yeah, there's just so
many people dedicated to doing this that I'm not sure

(08:19):
if the cops will be prepared for how many people
it looks like are going to be caravanning down um
and depending what their plans are, causing a scene. Um.
But I'm I'm about to go to bed. I have
to I have to sleep, have a have a long
day ahead of me, um, long day of trying to
not get arrested and then missing my right back to

(08:42):
my home UM on the other side of the country.
Before I recap what happened on the July first stop
Line three direct action, I want to give some background
for the whole Line three thing. Now, you probably heard
of the stop Plan three movement this year. A few
public actions have grabbed national attention, like the protest side
Chase Bank, and perhaps a few actions near the pipeline,

(09:03):
but you might be surprised to hear that the fight
has been going on for over seven years. Back en Bridge,
a Canadian oil giant, started the process of applying to
replace their existing Line three pipeline with a new, bigger pipeline,
large portions of which are along a completely new route,
including areas that would violate the treaty rights of the

(09:24):
indigenous Oshawanabe by passing through tribal territory, fresh water sources, ecosystems,
and public lands, while endangering primary areas of hunting, fishing,
wild rice, and cultural resources in the eighteen fifty five
treaty territory. For most of the past seven years, the
plans for the pipeline going through Minnesota have been caught

(09:44):
up in litigation and regulatory hearings. There have been on
the ground direct actions and protests, but all in hopes
of preventing the construction from starting. That changed November of
twenty when the Minnesota Pollution and Control Agency issued water
crossing permits in mid November, and then the Army Corps
of Engineers issued the other necessary permits mere days later.

(10:07):
Embridge had been positioning pipes and equipment for years doing
so called pre construction, so as soon as they got
the go ahead they could rush to dig, drill and
start placing pipes in the ground. The first pipe was
laid out to wait all the way back in November,
three years before Mbridge got the permission to actually begin construction.

(10:28):
The current Line three, which carries crude oil from Edmonton,
Alberta to Superior, Wisconsin, was originally built in the sixties.
Pipe corrosion caused numerous spills from the seventies to the
early two thousands. To circumvent this, Mbridge reduced the operating
pressure and instituted yearly high resolution inspections using modern technology
to track ongoing corrosion. As a result of the existing

(10:52):
Line three pipe ships four hundred and thirty thousand barrels
per day. When finished, the new Line three would ship
nine hundred and fifteen thousand barrels of Tar San's crude
oil a day, one of the dirtiest fuels on Earth,
and that's more than double the current Line three pipeline.
The new Line three will carry enough oil to produce

(11:13):
about one hundred and seventy billion kilograms of carbon dioxide
per year. That's equivalent to about fifty coal power plants
or thirty eight million vehicles on our roads. Total project
costs have risen to nine point three billion, with the
Minnesota segment of the pipeline costing four billion. A big

(11:34):
part of the argument four Line three in Minnesota is
supposed job creation. The problem is that the majority of
these jobs are short term, part time higher workers from
out of state. M Bridges fourth quarter Jobs reports that
only thirty three percent of the almost five thousand workers
in the project were from Minnesota, and they worked only

(11:56):
twenty percent of the total hours. M Bridge has a
job promise that the Line three replacement project would create
about eight thousand and six hundred jobs, the majority of
which are local in Minnesota over a two year period,
including forty hundred union construction jobs, half of which are
expected to be filled locally. However, instead of seventy of

(12:17):
jobs being local, the opposite is true, with nearly scent
of hours being worked by out of state workers. In
Minnesota alone, the new Line three pipe would cross more
than two hundred water ecosystems and tunnel under twenty rivers,
including the Mississippi River twice, the source of drinking water
for millions of people. The new Line three would threaten

(12:39):
many pristine lakes, rivers, and streams, including where wild rice grows,
a foundation of the Oshanabes people's traditional way of life
and spiritual practices. Since the announcement that construction could begin
last November, and Bridge has been literally working non stop
to finish this pipeline as soon as possible. Resistance against
Line three has also been wrapped baly increasing the past year,

(13:01):
all leading up to this past summer, with many calls
going out for national support. People are continuing to try
to stop construction through litigation or pressuring public officials, while
others are taking direct action in hopes of slowing down
the construction itself. As protests have continued, the state response
has grown more harsh. The most recent Line three protesters

(13:23):
who have gotten arrested for locking down on equipment are
being charged with felony theft for quote temporarily taking control
of the construction equipment unquote by locking themselves to it.
These new harsh protest related charges like felony, resisting and
obstructing are usually first tested on bipop folks, and then anarchists,

(13:44):
and then eventually everyone. If you thought sheriffs shutting down
vehicle access to the main stop Line three camp right
as Mbridge was completing drilling under the Mississippi River a
little sus well, wait until you hear that Embridge is
also directly giving cops millions of dollars. This is from
Vice News quote. A Canadian oil company has given Minnesota

(14:05):
law enforcement two million dollars to fund the policing and
protests against the construction of its new pipeline ambridges that
have fund called the Public Safety Escrow Trust in May
as a part of its permitting process for the Line
three pipeline route. The funds in this account have been
used to reimburse costs associated with maintaining the piece around
the pipeline, including for officer wages, lodging, and boom trucks,

(14:30):
according to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission and Line three permits.
Since its creation, three d twenty seven thousand dollars of
the Mbridge fund has gone to the Cass County Sheriff's Office,
located one eighty miles north of Minneapolis, for security patrols
of their private property. This amounted to around seven percent
of the department's salary and overtime budget for the year.

(14:54):
Between November and February nineteen one, over forty employees dedicated
more than seven thousand hours to safety patrols. Another one
hundred and seventy one dollars went to the Belatrimi County's
Sheriff's Department for officer training going back as earliest seventeen
in preparation for the responses to the Line three protests.

(15:14):
All of this was paid for by Enbridge. In its
permitting documentation, the Public Utilities Commission cited increased law enforcement
expenses around pipelines in other parts of the country as
reasoning for establishing the fund. The funds lived in an
astro count managed by a state appointed official, to whom
agencies send requests for reimbursement from en Bridge of costs

(15:36):
related to quote coordination of public safety and emergency responders,
public safety related costs for maintaining the peace in and
around the construction site, review, an oversight of any private
security services, and other similar costs unquote. The account is
technically not meant to be used for equipment unless it's
quote personal protective equipment and extremely broad term that is

(16:00):
defined nowhere. New Ryan gear, for instance, has been paid
for by the escrow account. State appointed account manager has
rejected law enforcement requests for reimbursement for cutting tools for
lock boxes and such, but there are ways around that.
In Hubbard County, for example, Mbridge just donated cutting tools
separate from the escorow account entirely. Upon waking up at

(16:35):
five thirty am July one, I trudged myself to the
coffee station in the little forest kitchen, packed up my
recording equipment and batteries, wrote down a few lawyers phone
numbers on my stomach in case the day go south,
and hopped in the media car with other folks from
the Earth First Journal and began the second caravan of
my trip in Minnesota. It is July one, about nine am.

(17:00):
Care A many people just arrived at a pipeline construction
site UM, the Line three pipeline construction site in northern Minnesota.
I am on the ground here reporting with about I
don't know, a couple of dozen, a couple of dozen protesters,

(17:20):
water defenders, line defenders. It's spent a lot of coordination
between the activists to get here. UM and finding like
specific sites that are still active and drilling. Since n
Bridge just finished one of their drilling projects under the
Mississippi like three days ago. So currently people are walking

(17:43):
to the site that they are gonna be stationed at.
I'm a little bit behind. Yeah, I will be reporting
here as long as I as long as I can
be um. If I need to get out, then I
can evacuate, but goals to be here as long as
I can. Pretty pretty big caravan, A lot of a

(18:05):
lot of people here, going right up to the drilling site.
By the time I got to the construction site, there
were already about a dozen people locked down onto the
construction equipment. Got more people attached to the pipeline for
SHARE's vehicle at the site, got another SHARE's vehicle at
the site, got another about like three or four three

(18:29):
or four law enforcement vehicles have arrived. These abot of
people messed up, locked up, Camo block, black block, got
a few people attached the actual pipeline, fists raised up.
Overall the mood here's actually a lot less tent than

(18:50):
it was on the way. Most people are actually hooked up.
Now everyone's kind of falling falling into their place kind
of knows what they want to do, what impact they
want to have. WHOA, wow, everyone's pretty uh, a lot
of a lot of like opening cam lotterie gotten pipeline
workers kind of leaving. Um, looks like they're all gonna
clear to the site and then I'm guessing more cops

(19:13):
are gonna roll in arrest and arrest of many people
as they can. That is what I'm looking at right now. Um,
there are currently people hooked up to the Line three
pipeline that has just been a drilling under the Mississippi River.
People hooked up to the equipment. UM, on both sides
of the road here, there's people on that side and

(19:36):
there's people here on this side. We have law enforcement
on the scene now. Um, we have lots of people
holding up banners, people hooked up onto the equipment. We have. Yeah,
there's a it's on. It's less tense than the the

(19:56):
then the build up to the actual action. UM, we
have people's you know, anyone's have the road willing signs,
We've got it. We've got a lot a lot of
banners and I don't know about like I'm guessing fifteen
to twenty people locked down with lock boxes onto the
drilling equipment, onto the taking equipment, and onto the pipeline itself.

(20:19):
People channing stop line three. Fact the police. There were
a lot of a lot of line workers here when
UH people arrived, and they've all since left. Um, no
one seems super eager to chat. Uh. There is Hubbard
County Sheriff's here. I believe the I believe the main sheriff,

(20:40):
his name is Corey, is here. It's like Corey sheriff
man is talking to the people standing on the side
of the road. UM. I'm not sure what used to saying.
People on that side are not I'm not breaking any
loss there. They are just standing on public property holding
up signs that is not not a crime. There is. Yeah,

(21:05):
I'm guessing around twenty people have gone to various types
of equipment and pipelines. UM. People here in black blocks,
people here in cameo block. UM, and so people just
hearing like write regular clothes. UM. I've talked to a
few of these people in the last few hours. Why
they're doing this, why they think it's important. Um, it's
about topping line three, about protecting the wild rice farms

(21:28):
in this area, but protecting the Great Lakes um, defending
people's access to water and honoring the treaties that were signed.
You know until years ago that the construction of the
pipelines breaks. Those are those are the things people are
talking about right now. UM. I believe the police are
gonna wait for all of the pipeline people to leave,

(21:49):
um before they start coming in and trying to like
to detach people and get folks arrested. Um. Yeah, more
shares off, more shares, vehicle showing up, It's gonna I think,
I think things are going to happen. Um, this will
be a long day. There was a brief instant where
a pipeline worker got into an argument with the protester

(22:10):
and the worker assaulted the protester. And then when the
last pipeline workers tried to leave in a pickup truck,
they almost ran over like a dozen people. As that
was happening, protesters tried to stop the vehicle to prevent
it from hitting more people. The truck got away and
people survived with limited injuries. I then made my way
over to the other side of the road where a

(22:30):
collection of moms and other protesters were in the ditch
holding up Stop Line three signs Sheriff Corey A. Yukes
was also there, and I had the pleasure of finally
getting to see him after I've heard so much talk
about him. As I arrived, he was arguing with protesters
about the pipeline and inevitable climate change caused water shortages. Drinker,

(22:59):
your family have cancer? You know what they make about.
Sheriff Corey of Hubberd County just said when the water
dries up, their kids can drink pop as in like soda,
soda pop. So I guess that is his plan for
when there's water shortages, Everyone's just gonna drink soda, according

(23:25):
to the elected sheriff of Hubberd County. Evidently Sheriff corne
Yukes was piste after that conversation, because a minute later
he sent over officers to arrest the two people he
was talking with. Wow, I don't know, Dylan, what's everything?

(23:57):
You're under arrest? You're under the two folks that Sheriff's
tried to arrest ran into the forest evading capture. After that,
Corey turned his attention to me. All right, s Garrison
David's Pigheart Radio. You can't be within the right away
like this. I wish I stand I would try to

(24:21):
find some private property, all right, that they give you
permission to be on, then you're good like that kind
out the side of the public though, right, no, it's
within the right away. You can't do it, You've been
told according to Minnesota pedestrian law, standing on the side
of intersection on public property is completely acceptable, but as

(24:42):
has been shown before, it's impossible to argue with cops
in the street. So at this point I needed evac
due to Sheriff Corey threatening me specifically with arrest. Just
got back to Earth First Camp um from Park Rapids.
See the last time I chat, which is like a
second hour hour, I should go our half an hour
and a half ago. I was like, I think at

(25:04):
least over over seven arrests at that time, probably close
to run ten now. But there was like fourteen people
still locked to uh the digging equipment at the at
the line three site. So the sheriffs and I think
now state police have been called in are having one
heck of a time on doing this lock boxes. So

(25:25):
all of work at that section of the site was
totally shut down for like basically basically the entire day.
Um So in terms of successfulness of the action. There
was less people arrested than what was gonna be initially predicted. Um,
it looks like mostly arrested are people who just fully
locked down. Other people were either able to get away
hiding the forest, or I think some people set up

(25:47):
like a designated like site that that the cops didn't
funk with eventually. Um, but yeah, so let's let's let's
arrest anticipated um work stop page went on for a
really long time. UMS, A lot of press attention there,
um coverage and yeah, and people have you know, there's
a lot of people locked down. Getting to Minneapolis tomorrow,

(26:10):
then I'll be back into Portland. So this is basically
the end the end of this trip. In all, fourteen
people locked down to various construction equipment, including vehicles and
the pipeline itself. Twenty eight people were arrested at the
July first action. Everyone arrested was released a day later.
Bales were set high at ten thou dollars without conditions

(26:32):
and five thousand with conditions. No cash bail at temper
cent was offered, and many of the activists were charged
with felony theft again for quote temporarily taking control of
the equipment they locked themselves to. Since the July first action,
there's been about one action per week that has stopped
work on the pipeline, including lockdowns, tree sets, and human

(26:53):
body suspensions over equipment and roads using massive bipods or tripods.
Most actions have been done around the horizontal drill used
to drill under the waterways. It's a very specialized machine
that serves as a choke point for a clear line
of attack. Especially since this fight is mostly about water,
this makes it a sensible target. Also, since July first,

(27:15):
we've been seeing more felony charges against lockdown protesters. It's
kind of become the norm the past two months for
this type of protest felony theft, stacked with misdemeanors and
gross misdemeanors. Currently, they are about sixty people facing felony
charges just in the past two months. Since June eight,
the line three sites had at least twenty eight spills

(27:38):
of fracking fluid were called frackouts. One of them happened
at the head of the Mississippi after the camp up
there was cleared out by the cops. After this, in
mid July, some of the Mbridge water permits were temporarily
revoked while the state was in a drought, but that
did not really impact construction in some better news, Remember

(27:58):
when the Hubbard County sheriffs were blocking off the driveway
to the Noma Wad Camp and we all thought that
was probably illegal. Well after I left, Sheriff's stopped physically
blocking the driveway, but did always have a deputy station
nearby to watch insight everyone who goes on the driveway.
As of July twenty, Minnesota ninth District Judge Jenna Asted

(28:20):
granted a temporary restraining order prohibiting the Hubbard County Sheriff's
office from blocking vehicular access to the Noma Wad Camp.
In the order, Judge Asted ordered the Sheriff's office to
stop quote barricading, obstructing, and otherwise interfering with access to
the property unquote, and prohibited deputies from stopping vehicles, issuing citations,
or arresting or threatening to arrest individuals for driving on

(28:43):
the driveway. Again, quoting investigative journalist Karen Savage quote. Assistant
Hubbard County Attorney Anna Emerling argued that the actions by
the sheriff's office were part of a large effort to
monitor Line three opposition. The judge, however, was not persuaded,
ruling the driveway blockade and subsequent issuing of citations by

(29:03):
the Sheriff's office substantially violated the plaintiff's right to use
and enjoy the property. Quote this action is about an easement,
and there's no showing the laws being broken on the
disputed easement unquote, Ostad wrote in the order. It was
announced in June that TransCanada, another Alberta based whale company,

(29:26):
canceled the Keystone XL pipeline after Biden removed permits when
he first took office. High visibility and performative protests have
trying to get Biden and other officials to do this
same for the Line three, but at this point success
seems unlikely. According to Enbridge, Line three is over eight
complete and may be finished as soon as September one.

(29:50):
There's this concept called the meat grinder. You jump into
the grinder in hopes of either clogging the gears or
hoping that somebody with power to stop the grinder sees
you inside and will take action, But more often than not,
nothing will happen, and you'll just get ground up and
spit out stuff like the protest lockdowns can kind of
feel like that, especially when you're getting as and I

(30:12):
in charges like felony theft and there's over sixty people
with felony charges. On the other hand, just standing outside
the grinder holding anti meat grinders signs feels like it's
not nearly doing enough, and trying to covertly destroy the
grinder from the outside can be scary and potentially get
you into a lot of trouble. This is an issue
with activism in a broad sense. We saw a little

(30:34):
bit of this in Portland last year, with people showing
up at police stations the night after night, not really
knowing what to do, and then just getting attacked by
cops and getting tons of charges. One point members of
the Canoe Collective, the Indigenous Women and two Spirit led
group run out of now Mawag kept bringing up is
that no matter the result of line three, the fight

(30:55):
doesn't just end with this pipeline. There will be other pipelines,
other deforestation projects, and more industrialization that threatens indigenous territory.
All the mistakes and successes firebombs and lockdowns, marches and
rallies can be learned from to make whatever the next
mobilization effort is stronger, and time and time again. One

(31:16):
of the most useful, if not the most useful things,
is just to have more people willing to do the thing.
Minor and infrequent, isolated acts, whether they be ecological sabotage,
monkey wrenching, or lock tents and marches, have been shown
to be inadequate against the international oil giants when happening
only every once in a while. Markers can be ignored,

(31:38):
damaged pipelines can be repaired, but if the system gets
overwhelmed all at the same time, then that might be
a different story. Congruent mass mobilization has to shock the
cogs in the machine enough to make instituting major change
the only possible outcome. That may seem far fetched or fanciful,

(31:59):
but if you look at his story and even modern
history in places outside the States, you can see echoes
inspects of this very thing. And if you look to
indigenous women and to spirit both in history and now
on the modern day, you can learn some really insightful
ways to resist the fascist behemoth and capitalist slash colonial leviathan.
Because they've been forced to resist these systems and structures

(32:22):
for a very long time. Listen to them, hear what
they have to say, and that wraps up my episodes
based on my trip to Minnesota, staying at the Earth

(32:42):
First and Stop Line three camp, I love to cover
and signal boost more stuff in this vein in the
near future. One other aspect about getting involved with movements
like this is that you could experience a little mini anarchy.
Whether in the Earth First camp or the Maywogue, you
get to see how the world could be outside of capitalism,
