I have been monitoring the situation at standing rock on the Sioux Reservation in North/South Dakota very closely for a few weeks. I believe that if the situation isn't managed responsibly it could possibly serve as a Flash Point for further conflict inside America. When you see the type of equipment the law enforcement and private security contractors are sporting, its bad enough

But if you add the posture and equipment of the law enforcement/private security to the fact that they seem to be constructing a Forward Operating Base (FOB) you begin to wonder "WTF is really going on here!?"

In the Iraq & Afghanistan 'war' the military began constructing bases out of HESCO barriers.

Here are pictures from a drone being used during the active resistance of the corrupt DAPL. http://i.imgur.com/uK47Uo9.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sO3U0M2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/M4M9lxx.jpg http://i.imgur.com/b0V6ETg.jpg
