This week, the Army Corps of Engineers created a “free speech zone” for native Americans and their supporters in N. Dakota. They were protesting constructions crews from digging an oil pipeline through sacred burial grounds.
The corps cited “safety concerns” as the reason.
But, this is a pattern with the corps. After the corps’ levees broke in New Orleans, investigative experts requested access to the major levee breach sites but the corps refused.
The corps cited “safety concerns” but was in fact, trying to destroy and/or hide data from the public.
