DoomsdaysCW<p>Statement of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndependentTrialMonitors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndependentTrialMonitors</span></a> <br>On Verdict in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenpeaceUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreenpeaceUSA</span></a> Trial:</p><p>"It is our collective assessment that the jury verdict against Greenpeace in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthDakota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthDakota</span></a> reflects a deeply flawed trial with multiple due process violations that denied Greenpeace the ability to present anything close to a full defense. Attorneys on our team monitored every minute of the proceedings and found multiple violations of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DueProcess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DueProcess</span></a> that denied Greenpeace its right to a fair trial. The problems included a jury that was patently biased in favor of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnergyTransfer</span></a>, with many members working in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FossilFuel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuel</span></a> industry; a judge who lacked the requisite experience and legal knowledge to rule properly on the complex <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirstAmendment</span></a> and other evidentiary issues at the center of the case; and incendiary and prejudicial statements by lawyers for Energy Transfer that tried to criminalize Greenpeace and by extension the entire <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateMovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateMovement</span></a> by attacking constitutionally-protected advocacy. </p><p>"Our fear that this was an illegitimate <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/corporate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>corporate</span></a>-funded <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SLAPP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SLAPP</span></a> harassment case was confirmed by our observations. </p><p>"We will be issuing a full report documenting these violations and larger flaws in the case in the coming weeks. </p><p>"While the trial court verdict is in, the case is far from over. Greenpeace has a right to appeal to the North Dakota Supreme Court and ultimately to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USSupremeCourt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USSupremeCourt</span></a>. Our committee will continue its work monitoring this critically important case that raises troubling concerns for all advocates in the country."</p><p>— <a

It also claims that Greenpeace orchestrated a misinformation campaign to defame the company, leading a group of banks to back out of financing the project. Energy Transfer seeks roughly $300 million from the environmental organization.</p><p>"Greenpeace denies Energy Transfer’s allegations. The group says it has never condoned violence, and only played a supporting role during the protests.</p><p>"Tilsen said he got involved in the protests before Greenpeace. He was invited to join the cause by former Standing Rock Chairman Dave Archambault and his sister, Jodi Archambault, he said.</p><p>"'They called me and said, ‘Hey, we need your help at Standing Rock,’ Tilsen said.</p><p>"Standing Rock has long opposed the Dakota Access Pipeline, stating the project poses a pollution threat, infringes on tribal sovereignty and has disrupted sacred cultural sites.</p><p>"It was Standing Rock leadership that laid the groundwork for the protests against the pipeline’s construction in 2016, Tilsen said.</p><p>"He said organizers later invited Greenpeace to support the camps, including by providing supplies and nonviolent direct action training. Tilsen said he only felt comfortable reaching out to Greenpeace because a friend of his, Cy Wagoner, worked there.</p><p>"He said since Wagoner is from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NavajoNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NavajoNation</span></a>, he trusted that Greenpeace would respect Standing Rock’s leadership of the camps.</p><p>"Indigenous communities are often reluctant to invite outside nonprofits to help with Native rights issues, Tilsen added. He said they often don’t understand Native nations’ unique relationship with the U.S. government.</p><p>"Greenpeace wasn’t a big part of the protests, Tilsen said.</p><p>"'To be honest, most of the tribal nations didn’t know who Greenpeace was,' he said.</p><p>"Countless other groups — including representatives from more than 300 Native nations — came to the protest camps in solidarity with Standing Rock, said Tilsen.</p><p>"'Quite frankly, our list of allies was hundreds,' he said.</p><p>"Tilsen said he was involved in several protest actions against the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016 and 2017, including those that involved marching on the pipeline easement, jumping in front of equipment and using lockboxes — also known as 'sleeping dragons' — to disable construction machinery.</p><p>"None of the protest actions were coordinated by Greenpeace, he said.</p><p>"Tilsen said he never saw or endorsed any destruction of property or acts of violence toward construction workers or law enforcement. He also pushed back on the assertion that any of the protest activities he participated in qualified as trespassing. </p><p>"The pipeline passes through land recognized as belonging to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SiouxNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SiouxNation</span></a> under <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/treaties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>treaties</span></a> signed by the U.S. government in 1851 and 1868. The U.S. government later annexed that land in violation of those treaties.</p><p>"Tilsen asked how Lakota citizens could be trespassing on land that was unlawfully taken from them. </p><p>"'This is the conundrum we find ourselves in,' he said.</p><p>"Employees of Greenpeace said during video depositions played last week that the environmental organization brought 20 to 30 lockboxes to the camps.</p><p>"Tilsen said while he saw many lockboxes during protests, he wasn’t sure where any of them came from. He also said he never heard anyone from Greenpeace tell demonstrators to use the devices.</p><p>"Tilsen said that David Khoury, an employee for Greenpeace, helped identify potential sites for protest actions. Tilsen added that while Wagoner — another Greenpeace employee — didn’t plan protest activities, he trained people on how to conduct them.</p><p>"The trial, which is before Southwest Central Judicial District Judge James Gion, is expected to last roughly four more weeks."</p><p>Source:<br><a href="https://northdakotamonitor.com/2025/03/03/witness-most-tribal-nations-at-dakota-access-pipeline-protest-didnt-know-who-greenpeace-was/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">northdakotamonitor.com/2025/03</span><span class="invisible">/03/witness-most-tribal-nations-at-dakota-access-pipeline-protest-didnt-know-who-greenpeace-was/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandWithStandingRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StandWithStandingRock</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoDAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoDAPL</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KelcyWarren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KelcyWarren</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigOil</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOilAndGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigOilAndGas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalRacism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StandingRock</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SLAPPs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SLAPPs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoDAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoDAPL</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SLAPPsLawsuits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SLAPPsLawsuits</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SilencingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SilencingDissent</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ACAB</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnergyTransfer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UnicornRiot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnicornRiot</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalizingDissent</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ACAB</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blackwater</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ErikPrince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ErikPrince</span></a></p>
