Jack Ohman - Tribune Content Agency In politics this week... We are days away from the first of two scheduled presidential debates. The big question: will Trump stay awake for the full 90 minutes? Trump's latest tax proposal - all tariffs, no income tax - is a huge gift for the wealthy (of course) and a disaster for the rest of us (also of course!) The Republican National Committee and conservative TV have embraced the art of “cheap fake” videos: deceptively edited videos designed to make Joe Biden appear feeble and mentally failing. The Biden campaign is taking direct aim at Trump's criminal record Louisiana will require the display of the 10 Commandments in all public classrooms, even though their leader has violated just about all of them. The never-ending battle between Attorney General Nessel and the Enbridge Line 5 Pipeline takes another twisting turn - one that favors Nessel A black church in Detroit temporarily turns white … thanks to an appearance by the aforementioned Donald Trump New polling of black Michigan voters shows many want a change in the Democratic ticket … with either Gretchen Whitmer or Michelle Obama as the presidential candidate.

He graduated from the Edmund G. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in 1997, where he wrote his senior thesis on Latino politics and the perspective that politicization of emerging Latino voter groups in Southwestern states was unique in American history. The completion of his thesis at Georgetown University in Washington DC on Latino voters became the basis for his pioneering work on Latino communications and outreach strategies in California, Texas, Florida and nationwide. Mike has played a key role in pioneering Latino outreach and communications strategies. In 2001 he was named as one of America's “Most Influential Hispanics” by Hispanic Business Magazine. He is a regular commentator on Latino political issues in statewide and national media publications. He is a co-founder of the Lincoln Project, and author of a just-released book The Latino Century which explores the true meaning of America at a time of rapid cultural change, the founding principles of self-government and individual responsibility, and one man's journey through a political party that has turned itself inside out. =========================== This episode is sponsored in part by EPIC ▪ MRA, a full service survey research firm with expertise in: • Public Opinion Surveys • Market Research Studies • Live Telephone Surveys • On-Line and Automated Surveys • Focus Group Research • Bond Proposals - Millage Campaigns • Political Campaigns & Consulting • Ballot Proposals - Issue Advocacy Research • Community - Media Relations • Issue - Image Management • Database Development & List Management =========================== NEW: The 34 for 45 Commemorative Mug Get your "34 for 45" mug today!

The Enbridge Line 5 oil pipeline running through Northern Wisconsin is an important conduit to getting fuel to refineries across the Upper Midwest and Canada. It transports about 23 million gallons of crude oil and natural gas liquid per day. That energy goes to heat homes and fuel vehicles. Today, Enbridge is undergoing the process to relocate the pipeline to go around the Bad River Reservation. It currently goes through the reservation for about 13 miles. The project update comes from Paul Meneghini, the manager of community engagement with Enbridge. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The federal lawsuit challenged a key permit for the new pipeline, which has been in service for just over a year. This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Cathy Wurzer. Music by Gary Meister.

The latest US inflation data showed energy costs jumping 30% in the 12 months through October. The trend is expected to continue through the winter, as home-heating costs rise across the board. The US Energy Information Administration predicts propane will see the biggest price spike in percentage terms, with heating costs surging 46%, compared with 39% for heating oil, 29% for natural gas and 6% for electricity. Senior editor Meghan Gordon spoke with Andrew Neal, manager of global NGLs for S&P Global Platts Analytics, about some of the dynamics behind the higher prices. They talked about strong global demand for US propane exports, the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline controversy in Michigan, and calls by some in Washington to limit US energy exports in the face of high domestic prices. Stick around after the interview for Jeff Mower with the Market Minute, a look at near-term oil market drivers.
Chris Lupaschuk started in land acquisition in 2005 while attending Olds College. In 2017 his career journey led him to a copper mining project in the Republic of Serbia where he developed the first successful land acquisition and resettlement program in the country. Moving from Canada to Serbia was a giant leap for Chris Lupaschuk and his family but in examining the opportunity he realized that “it really had to do with the adventures, when we actually looked on a map and saw where Serbia was, it's only a few hours drive to Budapest or to Romania, or Prague is driving distance”. His team and project were based in a small town called Bor, about a three hour drive from Belgrade. By the time the copper mining project was done, it would represent approximately 1000 hectares (3000 acres) of land, between 12 and 13 hundred parcels within that footprint, and between 450 to 500 property owners.Chris tells Chad Hughes that his moving from oil and gas drilling programs to linear pipeline projects in Canada helped prepare him for the large impact of the Serbian project. He dealt with everything from needing decoy documents to dissuade land speculators to erratic sized parcels to the Herculean task of pulling land titles in a country that had been besieged by wars, occupations, and ever-changing governments. However, Chris maintains that the keys to success in Canada ultimately are the same in Serbia: good communication with owners and other stakeholders, and fair and consistent dealings.“My residence that I spent 70%+ was in eastern Serbia and it was in Bor. Immersing myself in the culture and really taking an appreciation for what struggles people in the local area were going through and that this was serious business… this is one of the most serious things you could ever talk with someone about. And one of the most important things that they have in their ownership is their property. That language is the same in English as it is in Serbian.” - Chris LupaschukResources mentioned in this episode:Map of Serbia (including town of Bor)About Chris LupaschukChris Lupaschuk is the Senior Project Manager Development at NextEra Energy Resources.

What's up to my wild-hearted wildebeests and capering cape buffalos!Welcome back to the BNP everyone! Thank you for joining. Shout out to my patrons- I love you! Strap in folks, there's a lot on the docket for this one. This week is a solo mission, and I tackle 3 topics that are both timely and critical for empire babies and concerned global citizens to understand. They are also all being ignored in the corporate media, unsurprisingly. Firstly, we cover #Striketober, a month of rolling worker strikes across the U.S. There are currently 18 active strikes, including at massive corporations like Kellogg's and John Deere. Solidarity to all striking workers!! Boycott Kellogg's products until the workers get what they deserve. Secondly, we cover the ongoing Indigenous led protests against the Enbridge Line 3 Tar Sand Pipeline in N. Minnesota. This pipeline is brazenly breaking tribal treaties and polluting our precious land and water. Indigenous activists and allies occupied the Bureau of Indian Affairs building in D.C. for the first time since 1972. Over 150 people have been arrested and elders have been getting beaten and tazed by the state. Finally, we unpack AFRICOM, or U.S. African Command. AFRICOM represents a troublingly large and growing footprint of the U.S. military, intelligence agencies and special forces across the African continent. AFRICOM grew massively under the Obama administration, and has accelerated since the brutal overthrow of Libya, because the Libyan leadership was a major force in resisting AFRICOM. Now, it's spread out all across the continent, and the U.S. is executing 4,000+ mostly secret missions a year. We never hear about this, because the corporate media is white supremacist. This episode is my offering to help raise awareness about AFRICOM, so we can build a movement at home to end it. U.S. Out Of Africa! Thank you for rating, reviewing and subscribing to the BNP wherever you listen to podcasts, and for spreading the word and telling a friend about the BNP.

The fight against Line 3 has reached the United Nations. Now, the U.S. must respond to allegations of Indigenous rights violations related to the pipeline construction. Tiffany Bui reports:In late March, Indigenous-led organizations writing on behalf of the Anishinaabe people asked a United Nations committee to take action against the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline. The tar sands pipeline crosses through treaty-protected lands and opponents say puts the environment at risk.Both the Giniw Collective and Honor the Earth argued that the Enbridge pipeline construction violated numerous rights of the Anishinaabe under an international convention against racial discrimination.In a win for advocates, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination wrote a letter to the U.S. requesting a response to these allegations.Kate Finn is the executive director of First Peoples Worldwide, which helped bring the case in front of the UN. Finn said the letter is a key step in acknowledging that the pipeline construction has caused harm to the Anishinaabe.“It really does plainly state these human rights violations,” said Finn. “And we can take this letter to businesses and to financial institutions and to insurers to say ‘here are the violations that are attendant to Enbridge's pipeline.'”The UN Committee asked the US to respond by October 15; as of the writing of this story, the U.S. had yet to respond publicly. A spokesperson for the United Nations said the committee can't publicize states' replies.“We know through our work that the US isn't required to respond publicly, so my assumption is that they won't,” said Finn. Still, the United Nations' attention to Line 3 has raised awareness to an international level.Keri Iyall Smith, a professor of sociology at Suffolk University, said it is not uncommon for Indigenous people in North America to turn to the United Nations after exhausting all their legal options at the local, state and federal level.“I like the words that Walter Echo Hawk uses,” said Smith. “He calls it ‘the courts of the conqueror.' And it's very logical that it's hard for Indigenous peoples to win in the courts of the conqueror, in the courts of the settler state. More frequently, what does happen is Indigenous peoples need to lean on that international support and international pressure to assert their rights.”In some cases, the United Nations Declaration of Indigenous Rights recognizes more rights to Indigenous people than what is promised under the treaties. One example is the right to free, prior and informed consent, which dictates that tribes can give or withhold consent over any projects in their territories. “Basically, Indigenous people in the U.S. would have, outside of the U.S. Constitution, anything that was explicitly spelled out in their treaties,” said Smith. “And I don't think they would have envisioned something like free prior and informed consent at that time. [It] tended to be things like protecting the rights to gather and hunt in traditional places … But that's not the same as free prior and informed consent, which really supports the autonomy of indigenous peoples, their political and social autonomy in these types of conversations.”Line 3 began operating at the beginning of October; activists say they will continue fighting for Indigneous cultural and environmental rights.

Adriana Garriga López, associate professor of anthropology at Kalamazoo College in Michigan, associate faculty of the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research, anthropologist and multidisciplinary artist, and Esteban Gómez, historian and co-host of the “Plan de Contingencia” podcast, join us to talk about the ongoing energy crisis which has seen hundreds of thousands of citizens affected by rolling power outages throughout weeks, and what role the new private energy company Luma has played in this crisis. We talk about how this is yet another example of disaster capitalism and how public-private partnerships have wreaked havoc for workers and the provision of essential services in the name of profit.Darren Thompson, reporter for Native News Online and Unicorn Riot, and Heather Keeler, member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, join us to talk about the news that the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline is going operational today, despite months-long protests. We also talk about some of the social impacts of projects like these beyond the environmental harm, the documented effects of bringing this kind of work, done this kind of way, into indigenous communities, how resistance will continue against this project, what future actions could look like, and the often overlooked tragedy of missing native women. Sara Dady, immigration attorney and former Democratic congressional candidate for IL-16, joins hosts Michelle Witte and Bob Schlehuber to talk about the intraparty fight among Democrats over the proposed infrastructure bill, which now seems certain to be considerably slimmed down, how this manufactured crisis goes beyond characters like Sinema and Manchin, and how disunity conveniently happens whenever there actual meaningful policy at stake. We also talk about how funding for infrastructure is usually disbursed, whether it actually goes to fund the public good and not deepening the pockets of private contractors, the Biden administration announcing new rules that require authorities to only pursue migrants who recently crossed into the country without permission or are deemed to pose a threat to public safety, the future of DACA, and the long racist history of U.S. immigration policies.
Unflagging persistence and sharp legal insight enabled the attorneys at Environmental Law & Policy Center to convince the Michigan Public Service Commission that climate impacts must be considered in the environmental assessment of the proposed Enbridge Line 5 oil tunnel. The decision was a historic first: No project had ever had to answer to CO2 emissions under the Michigan Environmental Protection Act. The implications of that decision became more clear recently when four renowned experts—hired by ELPC and co-intervenor Michigan Climate Action Network—provided testimony to the MPSC that showed how Michigan, the Great Lakes Region, and the earth beyond would suffer because of CO2 emissions resulting from an oil tunnel, and pointing out that there are feasible alternatives. In this episode of Speaking of Resilience, host Kate Madigan invites the ELPC's lead attorney on the case, Margrethe Kearney, to explore key takeaways from the expert testimony and to sketch out what comes next in the tunnel permit process. Speaking of Resilience is created by the Groundwork Center for Resilient Communities and the Michigan Climate Action Network. This episode was produced by Taylor Cramer of Cold Shower Media in collaboration with Nick Loud of the Boardman Review, and hosted by Kate Madigan.
The 10th anniversary of Occupy Wall Street is approaching. Lee Camp goes over the lessons learned from the paradigm-shifting protest movement that gave us the language of the 99% and brought inequality into the spotlight. Since it kicked off, many have learned about the issues of our capitalist society but the same ruling class is still in power. The banks still get away with theft, the government still abandons people to homelessness and poverty and the tinder remains for another protest movement to light up. Camp also reports on the end of expanded unemployment assistance that was saving lives during the pandemic, and the plans the rich are relying on to survive the climate crisis. Anders Lee takes on the fight against the Enbridge Line 3 Pipeline in Minnesota. Protesters have been pushing hard across the country to stop the fossil fuel infrastructure project. In return, the fossil fuel industry has been coordinating with law enforcement and private security contractors to harass the water protectors. It's a fight that everyone concerned about the climate crisis should be concerned about. Jaffer Khan exposes how Homeland Security has been working with Amazon to automate the racist harassment of the immigrant community. The ATLAS software has raised red flags for advocacy groups across the country.
Indigenous, Environmental and Community Leaders Call on U.S to Respond to UN Letter About Human Rights Abuses of Indigenous People and Line 3 “We believe that good nations should uphold their treaties and good countries should not wage war on Indigenous peoples.” Washington, DC (September 3, 2021) -- Winona LaDuke, Tara Houska and Kate Finn hosted a press call in response to the recent letter sent from the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) to the United States regarding allegations of human rights violations against the Anishinaabe associated with the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline construction. On August 31, CERD published a letter to the U.S. Government dated August 25, requesting that the U.S. respond to these allegations. The letter notes, among other things, that these rights violations would amount to a violation of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), which the U.S. has signed and ratified. The letter requests that the U.S. Government provide information on how it guarantees the right to free, prior, and informed consent; prevents adverse impacts of the pipeline on the Anishinaabe and their culture, health, and environment; guarantees the right to an effective remedy to these rights violations; and prevents violence against Indigenous women and excessive force against protestors. The following are portions of the speakers' statements from the call: Tara Houska, Founder of the Giniw Collective “Governor Walz and President Biden have said nothing as unarmed, non-violent water protectors have been hit with rubber bullets, mace, and been subjected to so-called “pain compliance” in the past month. I'm one of those water protectors. As I sit with scars caused by rubber bullets paid for by a tar sands company called Enbridge and my friends tend to potentially permanent facial paralysis, elected officials continue to tout themselves as climate leaders. You can't allow one of the largest tar sands infrastructure projects in North America through Indigenous lands and the Mississippi River headwaters and be a climate leader. Their silence is appalling. Stop Line 3, now.” Winona La Duke, Executive Director, Honor the Earth “What we have seen over the past seven years is the Enbridge corporation, with the cooperation of the Canadian and now the United States government, succeeding in violating our rights consistently; not only to free prior and informed consent, but also our human rights in terms of sex trafficking, violations of our rights in terms of police brutality and injuries that have occurred as rubber bullets have been shot at our people by Minnesota law enforcement and paid for by Enbridge. We've seen the destruction of our rivers, we've had 28 frac-outs which have burned our wild rice and our rivers, and we've had 5 billion gallons of water taken from our people, in a time of the worst drought in the history of Minnesota. Here we have a Canadian multinational corporation that is not only a climate criminal in a time of climate chaos, but a corporation and a country which is now promoting violence against Indigenous peoples, a total denial of our rights to continue food security, existence, environmental eco-side damage, and certainly the violation of treaty rights and all agreements under our laws and and under international laws.” Kate R. Finn, Esq., Executive Director, First Peoples Worldwide, University of Colorado “Now that the United Nations committee has responded to the petitions sent by Honor the Earth and the Giniw Collective, the United States is in a position to respond. These kinds of petitions and requests are sent to the UN all of the time, and the committee doesn't often have the opportunity to respond to all of them, but it responded here.”
Hundreds of people have been arrested in Minnesota in ongoing protests against Line 3, a pipeline that will move Canadian tar sands oil, and which could be operational as soon as this month. Pipeline advocates, like Mike Fernandez of Enbridge (Line 3's builder), argue that as long as people are still using oil, we need a way to transport it — and pipelines are the safest, least carbon-intensive means of doing so. Opponents, like Sierra Club's Kelly Sheehan Martin, argue that oil companies bolster markets for oil and gas as a way to justify continued profits from building pipelines and extracting oil. Sheehan Martin argues that to seriously address the climate crisis, we need to keep the oil in the ground, and listen to the voices of those worried about harm to waterways and tribal lands. Why have oil pipelines become such a point of contention in the environmental movement? And what can all sides agree on to work toward the same less-carbon-reliant future?

As the founder of the newly formed Minnesota Tribal Contractors Council, James Jones is an outspoken advocate for Native American contractors and tribally owned businesses in the construction trades. The nonprofit council, based in northern Minnesota, held its inaugural meeting in May. It offers networking opportunities, mentorship, job and safety training, transportation services, financial education, legislative advocacy, employment resources and other services. Jones has a background in archaeological services. A member of the Lake Leech Band of Ojibwe, Jones is the former cultural resources director of the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council and current owner of Dirt Divers CRM, a provider of cultural resource management services. In the following interview, Jones speaks with Reporter Brian Johnson about his own background and why he founded the Minnesota Tribal Contractors Council. He discusses the $2.9 billion Enbridge Line 3 replacement project and what it means for Native workers.
Beneath the Straits of Mackinac, the connecting waterway between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, lies Enbridge Line 5: a pipeline built in 1953 bringing natural gas and crude from the oil sands in Alberta to refineries in Ontario and Quebec. Opponents of the pipeline worry that it could rupture, poisoning the fresh water supply, blocking shipping routes, and crushing tourism. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer ordered it shut down, but Enbridge refused; they're now in mediation.Meanwhile, Prime Minister Trudeau is lobbying the Biden administration to keep the pipeline open. Having already blocked Keystone XL, it remains unclear whether Biden will favour shutting down an already-operating pipeline. On today's show, Globe U.S. correspondent Adrian Morrow joins us to talk about what makes this pipeline battle different, why anti-pipeline activists were able to gather such a broad coalition of supporters, and why shutting down Line 5 could mean higher gas prices for Ontario and Quebec.

We mention Submedia's excellent show Trouble, which has an upcoming episode this month on counter-insurgency. They do great work, so throw them some taco money while they are fundraising this month. From Submedia: “After years of suffering the Stimulator's taco farts in silence, we'd reached our limits. Plus, we wanted to shift gears and embark on an ambitious new project – a monthly documentary series called Trouble, intended to be screened collectively as a tool to help spark critical conversations around local organizing. So when we pitched the idea to Stim and he refused to go along with this new direction, we decided he had to go. Well… turns out we fucked up. It's not that we regret launching Trouble, or have any plans to stop making new episodes. Far from it. We've received tons of positive feedback on the project, and are stoked to see trouble-makers have started dozens of screening collectives in cities across the world. What we didn't realize was exactly how much work goes into producing a 30 minute interview-driven documentary every month, and how little time that would leave us for our other projects. So, suffice to say… we've been reconsidering our decision for some time now. But the straw that finally broke the camel's back was when alt-right shitlords targeted us last month with a mass snitching campaign, and successfully got Paypal to cancel our account – wiping out, in the push of a button, a monthly sustainer base that had taken us ten years to build up. The time has come to #BringBackStim and unleash him full-force on these fucks. We want to give him a new show – a weekly digital pulpit where he can expose and ruthlessly antagonize far-right personalities, while also covering topical news segments from an anarchist lens. But in order to do that, we need to grow our collective so that we can handle the increased workload. And in order to do that, we need your support.” If you're near Vancouver, BC, there's a building materials supply drive going on until October to support the Secwepemc people's tiny homes blockade of the proposed Kinder Morgan TransMountain tar sands pipeline.
