***UPDATED 6:00PM/9:00PM – Everybody Loves a Winner!
Ok, we’ve had some stellar coverage today! Here’s a breakdown of folks who have covered us so far (and we’ll be adding to this list in the coming days, too):
- Kim Murphy at the L.A. Times covered our protests in the context of the struggle against the, as of today re-routed northern leg of KXL, which traverses Nebraska and still endangers the uniquely critical Ogallala Aquifer!
- Tyler’s ABC television affiliate, KLTV, covered today’s action with a glowing evening on-air news brief! Watch:
- Tyler’s CBS television affiliate, KYTX, also covered today’s action. Their story is from a mid-day news segment. You can view it here:
- Jennifer A. Dlouhy wrote a blog for Fuel Fix on how today’s actions in Saltillo fit into the overall KXL/tar sands picture with the news coming out of Nebraska. Her story was then picked up by the Beaumont Enterprise with a funny headline: “Protesting Texans block TransCanada pipeline equipment”
- The Dallas Observer’s Brantley Hargrove posted about today’s action in their UnFair Park blog!
- Scott Parkin posted a blog about it all at It’s Getting Hot In Here!
- KERA 90.1, North Texas’ NPR station, made their listeners aware of today’s action throughout the day during their hourly local news briefs!
- Scott Harvey at KETR Tyler, Texas A&M College Radio, share our victorious news to the greater Tyler collegiate body today!
- WFAA Channel 8 covered today’s protest in their mid day news brief on-air!
- EcoWatch again made us their top story of the day!
***UPDATE – 1:00PM: WE WON!
Another Delay, Another Victory!
It’s after lunch now, so we’re gonna follow the lead of our contractor and police friends and call it a day! But don’t believe for a second that we’re hangin’ up our hats!
Our 3rd action has been a huge success, and we’re only going to continue standing up for our friends and neighbors by calling fraud what it is – fraud. Tar Sands-sourced diluted bitumen slurry is not crude oil. It’s an exotic, radically toxic hydrocarbon surface-mining product that we will not permit to travel across our homes and freshwater sources without a fight!
Onward with keepin our homes safe!
***UPDATE – 11:00AM: WE WON? All Law Enforcement Has Left the Scene!
Their civil parting words: “Whatever you do make sure everyone’s safe.”
WE WON! Guess they realized our brave Blockaders aren’t the real criminals! The few workers on site are filing out as well. We’ll be holding down the fort just to be sure!
***UPDATE – 10:45AM: Police Are Accusing Blockaders of Equipment Theft
That’s a pretty strange way to ‘steal’ something, isn’t it, Shannon?
Don't be silly, now...
***UPDATE – 9:30AM: 3 Hopkins Co. Sherrif’s Deputies Arrive on Scene more than 2 Hours after the Fact
Threats of criminal trespass charges are being discussed, but our brave Blockaders are holding strong!
***UPDATE – 9AM: 20 Workers Show Up, Are Turned Away from Site!
7 trucks with 20-25 workers showed up at the site to meet their Foreman only to be turned away. One truck with a ditch witch continued on to the easement. ALL truck plates were out of state plates including Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania. Local jobs anyone?
7AM – BREAKING! 3 Blockaders Locked to Equipment Halt Work at Another Keystone XL Site!
Landowner advocates lock selves to feller buncher machines in KXL easement’s path of destruction!
SALTILLO, TEXAS – September 5, 2012, 7AM – Three landowner advocates and climate justice organizers have locked themselves to feller buncher machines used for clearing large trees in the path of the Keystone XL pipeline. Today’s action has halted work on a segment of TransCanada’s illegitimate pipeline outside of Saltillo, TX. As promised, Tar Sands Blockade’s rolling campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience pushes forward.
Five blockaders total are currently risking arrest to stop work on this segment of the Keystone XL pipeline. Contractors discovered their presence early in the work day, and work at the site was called off shortly thereafter. Texas-born blockaders have united with neighbors from other states to support rural and neighboring communities threatened by the toxic pipeline’s diluted bitumen slurry.
Tar Sands Blockade’s landowner solidarity actions hit home with 22 year old Houston-born blockader, Sarah Reid. “This pipeline affects me, my friends and my family directly. The toxic contents threaten the water we drink, the air we breathe.” Reid, who traces her Texan ancestry back to Obedience Smith, the first female settler to own land in Texas, continues, “Out in East Texas, the landowners I’ve met are honest, hard working people who have been taken advantage of by TransCanada. They’re people who just want to protect themselves and their families.”
The sense that legal means have failed to curb the landowner abuse inherent in the current eminent domain process is palpable. Gary Lynn Stuard, 54, of Dallas is no longer willing to wait for regulatory reform or judicial intervention: “We have exhausted all of the traditional avenues, and it’s not enough. It’s unjust that a multinational company can seize people’s property by proclaiming themselves a “common carrier” – that’s eminent domain abuse. It’s theft, and these peoples’ homes and land shouldn’t be ruined while decisions on what to do are put off.”
Blockaders Pose during Saltillo Solidarity Action
Mikey Lowe, 24, traveled from California to raise awareness of the tar sands carrier’s deception. “I feel that eminent domain has really gone too far. I really want to show [the world] what’s going on,” he shared.
Former Quinlan resident, Beverly Luff, 23, is primarily motivated by the threat that tar sands surface mining and extraction pose to the future of a livable climate. “The more people ignore it, the worse it will get. There’s only one planet, and we can’t afford to let dirty business interests cheat to win in East Texas or elsewhere.”
Shannon Locked to Feller Buncher
Tar Sands Blockade is a coalition of Texas and Oklahoma landowners and climate organizers using peaceful and sustained civil disobedience to stop the construction of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. Today’s action comes on the heels of last week’s outside of Livingston, TX in which seven blockaders were arrested when four locked themselves to a truck delivering pipe segments to a Keystone XL construction site. Their successful nonviolent action stopped activity in the pipeyard for the day. In response, TransCanada claimed its pipeline was not to carry anything other than “crude oil,” which is factually inaccurate at best.
“TransCanada commits fraud when it lies about the substances in its toxic tar sands slurry pipeline,” explains Tar Sands Blockade spokesperson Ron Seifert. “East Texans have been documenting TransCanada’s deceit for over four years now. Rural and neighboring families have been treated as nothing more than collateral damage by industry, political and regulatory leaders on all sides of the aisle. The truth is TransCanada will do or say anything to ram this pipeline through, regardless of who gets hurt along the way.”

Go team! Time to stop investing in this backwards plans. From a financial perspective, this is stupid. From an environmental perspective, it’s stupid. From a future-forward thinking perspective, considering the ramifications on our own offspring, biodiversity, and clean air, it’s also stupid. Bottom line? That’s the bottom line!

I’m confused – you’re blocking the part of the oil that’s coming from Cushing, OK – not Canada. Is there some good reason why you want oil to sit in Oklahoma and not be refined by Texans? As an Okie myself, I’d rather we built the refinery here and charge you burnt-orange guys $10 per gallon to subsidize our prices, which would be about $1.50 – but seriously, what connection does this have to the tar sands oil, it looks like you’re just keeping the price of gas high and helping Romney get elected…

Tar Sand Pipelines take citizens land, pollute water, and accelerate global warming, only to allow the US to ship crude oil overseas where it brings higher prices. It makes no sense that US citizens take all of the risks and pay all of the costs, while the cost of their own gasoline goes up.

Thank you all for your deep convictions and acting upon them. You all are an inspiration! Keystone must be stopped, thanks to global warming our water supply is already in danger, the last thing we need is another Kalamazoo spill in Texas water. Let’s all get the word out, I fear too many people still don’t understand how dangerous this product is.

Hey…since the courts have repeatedly ignored the will of the American people and have supported corporations…even corporations that are not even American. Therefore, it would seem, as advocated by Teddy Roosevelt, the next step may be to carry a big stick. I seem to remember something about Americans going to war against the British for the same basic reasons. TransCanada is clearly violating American sovereignty and will be placing all Americans in harms way, if completed, with this pipeline . Seems to me It should be stopped by all means possible.
While I am not advocating violence of any kind, methods used to disable construction equipment, may be more immediate and effective method that chaining one’s self to a few trenching machines. It’s just a thought.
On the otherhand, by attacking the issue again through all courts available and in Washington DC, the disruption could prove to be so costly to the company, TransCanada would move and keep all aspects of the XL pipeline in their own country…forcing them to build their own refineries and ports in their own country in order to ship product to China.

Thanks again!!! from British Columbia, Canada.
Your actions are really appreciated, these tar sands are
dangerous from many different perspectives.
It’s so lame, it isn’t even like we are using (or needing) the tar to fuel development of smart grid infrastructure with robust and diverse renewables, rather it seems it is all to fuel an unnecessary form of globalized consumerism???
I put this video together as a form of ‘digital activism’ in hopes that it would get
consumers (and politicians ..lol) thinking about the coal, oil, gas, and tar sands oil that it
takes to fuel things like globalized consumerism , and the dreaded Trans Pacific Partnership.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeiLuuV_vRA
fighting massive coal exports up here in Montana, and the Northern Gateway tar sands pipeline in BC, I hope we can find lots of folks such as yourselves! I’m thinking that they are lined up to stop the Northern Gateway tar pipeline,
nice work arrestees’ and organizers!
keep up the good work,
best regards,

Hurrah for the spirit of America being shown by these brave Texans. This Okie Grandmother would be down there with you if I had alternate transportation to travel. Unfortunately the short-sightedness of our leaders still has not provided a way of travel that doesn’t pollute our environment and is affordable! I’m with you in spirit as I’ve spent a lifetime fighting oil companies who believe they can abuse and tread on people’s rights…..Go! Gang! Go!

Many thanks to all the environmental activists for taking this action on behalf of Mother Earth and a special thank you to those brave fighters in the trenches. We admire and appreciate you and your direct opposition to the abomination that the tar sands pipeline represents. We desperately need to do the same thing here in Oklahoma so with your kind of courage on display, maybe it will help us organize a stiffer resistance here. Certainly we will try.

Hope you can maintain the action as it has a direct impact on what we can achieve at ground zero in McMurray. We are with you in spirit as we stand in the way of the govt. and industry behemoths of Canada. The provincial and federal govts. of Canada are married to the industrial development of the tar sands. The economic paradigm driving the industrial development of the tar sands would inevitably decimate a sustainable economic paradigm that has maintained traditions and traditional ways of life. This is universally the conflict as the world looks at the tipping point in the operation of the biosphere.
