The Texas Tree Village: Tar Sands Blockade

On September 24th, eight people climbed 80 feet into trees in the path of Keystone XL construction, and pledged not to come down until the pipeline is stopped for good. Construction cannot proceed until tree-sitters descend and TransCanada clear-cuts through hundreds of trees to make way for the toxic tar sands pipeline.

These are their words and this is their story.

They all ride bicycles and drive diesel cars that run on veggie oil and electric cars that use the sun to recharge.

I'm a Lion from the Warrior Tribe.

I eat demons and bring fire to nations and people that are unwilling to respect God and continue to treat Mother Earth like a whore.

Fuck your nation and all nations that disrespect Jah and rape Earth.

Stop being an asshole and start being a person.

Uplift yourSelf and help build Earth's Industry instead of your tiny little nations industry.

Earth Industry is Ordained from God. This is NOT my opinion. Ego is your enemy. Kill your ego or burn with Babylon....

Oil has a monopoly on the textile and fuel markets, the only way to become independent of them is to stop them altogether. Your argument is invalid due to lack of understanding in the field of economics. Please kindly, fuck off and go read a book.
