A putsch is the kind of thing Hitler did to gain power.

Water Protectors call for global mass mobilizations against Dakota Access pipeline
(
Democracy Now!) On Tuesday, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Tuesday it will greenlight the final phase of construction of the pipeline.
Amnesty International called the announcement "an
unlawful and appalling violation of human rights." In recent months, police have launched an escalating and violent crackdown against the resistance at Standing Rock. Last week, more than 70 people were arrested after militarized police raided a new resistance camp set up on historic Sioux treaty land. Among those arrested was award-winning Pueblo journalist Jenni Monet, who was on assignment for
Indian Country Media Network.

Construction of the Dakota Access pipeline is prompting indigenous-led water protectors to
call for a "last stand" against the $3.8 billion project. In a letter to Congress, acting Army Sec'y Robert Speer said the Army Corps will
cancel an environmental impact study of the Dakota Access pipeline and will grant an easement today allowing the corporation Energy Transfer Partners to drill under Lake Oahe on the Missouri River. Moreover, the Army Corps also said it would suspend a customary 14-day waiting period following its order, meaning the company could immediately begin boring a tunnel for the final one-and-a-half miles of pipe.
