December 6th Standing Rock Bridge: A small group of maybe 10 vets went to the bridge barricades to cut razor wire. The video is on Youtube. Police had withdrawn from the other side at the time the easement was denied on the 4th of December. Since then only a couple of guys had been seen on the other side.
After the vets started cutting wire guys quickly arrived on the other side. Shouting from both sides ensued. No bullhorn as the police had been using. The vet video is not clear but the other side does not appear to be nor act like official police forces. I think they were Tiger Swan. Unprofessional goons hired for muscle more than mind. Hammers where everything they apply themselves to is a nail.
Trump employs the same kind of private security force.

Guns for hire. Mercenaries. A lucrative business that has emerged from the shadows of global unrest and war. Mercenaries well trained at the expense of the government and well equipped with knowledge and tools of their trade. Those tools are not simply old school truncheons from the days of labor unrest but sophisticated intelligence gathering, communications, command and control of the the modern battle space.
I think that growing public unrest during the Trump administration will be increasingly met with Private Security Forces. Forces that are ex-judicially detached from official governmental law enforcement agencies but acting along side them with a mantel of official appearance and sanction until such time as they begin to act independently and alone as a protection and enforcement entity acting as and agent of those that are paying them. Business entities with deep pockets.

Both official police and private security forces were in my opinion operating electronic intercept, surveillance and attack methods at standing rock. EFF is investigating that. My cell battery was drained and cellular connections were functioning in strange ways. Tiger Swan claims area denial of cellular ability for area communications but it was probably better not to do that but to intercept communications. Police have the same ability but neither would use it since it is better to intercept communications spoofing a cell tower. That takes some special equipment and electronic intelligence ability and the professional knowledge to operate it. I wonder if Tiger Swan was better equipped than the police forces?
The situation at Standing Rock was also an excellent domestic test opportunity for Federal level agencies to test the latest and greatest secret level surveillance and control equipment, abilities and techniques. Surveillance that I foresee will become increasingly important for domestic application in the future.
On the good guy side of the razor wire the use of drones was an excellent tool to watch the other side and gather video intelligence for public showing on Youtube. The next level of public use of video recording and documentation of truth.
There is a substantial asymmetry of intelligence gathering ability between OfficialPublicLawEnforcemt/PrivateSecurity entities and the public. Cell phones are pea shooters compared to what abilities of the other side to conduct sanctioned or unsanctioned covert and overt video, electronic or old school human intelligence gathering and analysis and actions. It is essentially an OfficialArmedPublic/Private entity force vs an UnarmedPublic conflict. Non-violence is the weapon of the UnarmedPublic. Lurking in the background of that UnarmedPublic weapon is the treat that it could and would become Violent. Without that it has no teeth only the the moral high ground advantage. Moral high ground advantage does not count much external to the USA and its foreign relations. It is counting for less domestically.

Kennedy spoke eloquently of conflict and peace in the world. Framed mostly in the context of external US relationships but with a passing reference to domestic relationships. The payload essence of what he said is the quote that was the first thing he said.
JFK also said this but do your own research on his words:
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable"

I will not give it the credibility of a true quote, in so many words he did say this:
Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived...
He had a mystery about him in the way that he lived and in the manner of his death that will live and grow after him.
He had in him the stuff of which legends are made.
- John F. Kennedy,
It is interpreted to mean that to some Kennedy admired Hitler. Some would have us believe that today. Not admired any more than Trump was chosen to be "Person of the Year" for his impact on our times. All the things that may be attributed to what JFK said about Hitler are applicable to Trump today. Anyone saying that JFK "admired" Hitler is spewing propaganda. Look at the slime that says that: https://www.google.com/search?q=brightbart+jfk+hiter&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client=seamonkey-a#q=breitbart+jfk+hitler
Look at who is back...It is Trump:

Hitler said:
I think that "war, hate and oppression" has come home to the USA. Strange that Standing Rock is the internal USA internal site that pits one invading Sovereign Nation against another established Sovereign Nation within "our own" sea to shining sea boarders that we have claim some divine right to rule not just those that originally inhabited it but all that was "owned" by the NaturalEnvironment.
We do not own the land, the land owns us. Not the exact quote of Chief Seattle but the essence of what he said and often repeated as a statement of aboriginal peoples. The quote I heard at Standing Rock.
http://www.barefootsworld.net/seattle.html
One sovereign nation we call the USA has ownership claim of the land by right of Eminent Domain. Another sovereign nation existing within the boarders of "Turtle Island" claims the land owns us.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_Island_%28North_America%29
It is ironic that there is an island at Standing Rock called Turtle Island. Perhaps an iconic proxy for the greater Turtle Island that is the native North America. A bridge was built to that small Turtle Island that was denied by militarized police forces to the native inhabitants.
I think we are internalizing and focusing the nature and structure and
actions of our foreign policy relations and their enforcement with
militarized police forces aimed at an internal sovereign nation within our borders.
