State Rep. and Senator-Elect Mary Kunesh witnessed destruction by Enbridge from Honor the Earth on Vimeo.

State Rep. and Senator-Elect Mary Kunesh @mkmkunesh witnessed destruction of Enbridge construction of Line 3 at the Mississippi River in Palisade, MN.

On Friday, Anishinsaabekwewag Dawn Goodwin (Rice Lake, White Earth), Tania Aubid (East Lake Mille Lacs) and Winona LaDuke (White Earth, Round Lake) - all Mississippi Band Anishinaabe were at the Waaginoogan, located at the Mississippi River crossing of the Enbridge pipeline. We were joined by State Representative Mary Kunesh, Cloquet City Council Representative, Lyz Jakola, and a number of prominent church, organizational and media representatives.

Mary Kunesh has stated over and over > “Our state leaders had the chance to #StopLine3 by denying the clean water permits for this massive tar sands pipeline. Their failure to deny the permits is an offense to Minnesotan water and Minnesotan people.”

“We already know that Canadian owned Enbridge has not been a good neighbor. Just look to the decay and careless maintenance of the current Line 3 for evidence of ongoing negligence. How can we, in good conscience, allow for a new Line 3 pipeline to cross over 200 bodies of pristine water, including two crossings of our precious Mississippi River?” - Rep. Mary Kunesh

“… Anishinaabe people are not a dead culture to be dug up and inventoried. We are alive and the reaffirmation of relationship to spirit and creation is through the ongoing ceremony. The Midewin Waaginoogan on the banks of the Mississippi River is a part of a continuum which should not be interrupted for a Canadian pipeline corporation.” - Winona LaDuke

Proposed Chickahominy Gas Power Station, Charles City County, Virginia from River Healers on Vimeo.

This is the Pearsall Power Station, a fracked gas power station in Texas with a capacity of 203 megawatts. What you are seeing is thermal video documentation of the Pearsall Station’s air emissions. The video was recorded by Earthworks and shows volatile organic compounds being released into the air during normal station activity. Two much larger fracked gas power stations are being proposed in Virginia that have a total capacity of 2,700 megawatts. The proposed Chickahominy Power Station would be 1,650 megawatts and the proposed C4GT Power Station would be 1,060 megawatts. Together that’s more than 13 times larger in scale than what you see in the video.

Both of these fracked gas stations would be within one mile of each other in the community of Roxbury in Charles City County Virginia. Citizen Drone documentation of the proposed Chickahominy Power Station site shows a farm with livestock within .2 miles of the station’s point of emissions. Another farm is .4 miles away from the proposed point of emissions. Union Baptist Church, a historical black baptist church is only .8 miles from emissions and you can see many more houses in this same area as close as .75 and .2 miles away from the proposed point of emissions.

Within a mile radius of the Chickahominy Power Station site would be the C4GT fracked gas Power Station, which together would make this the 5th largest gas emissions area in the United Sates. This community is also faced with Dominion Energy’s substation, the Colonial Pipeline, a Virginia Natural gas station, multiple transmission lines, and a massive landfill.

Energy Justice Network found that residents in close proximity are 40% African American and 19% Native American. An independent spatial analysis done by Stephen Metts reported that the area is made up of 65% and higher minorities which surpasses levels for an environmental justice review. The majority of the 1,200 members of the Chickahominy Tribe live within 2 miles of the proposed gas plants. Neither the state or applicant have consulted or been given free, prior, and informed consent from the Eastern Chickahominy tribe who also live in the area or the Weyanoke Association who have occupied the area for more than 8,000 years, and who have an abundant Native American, African American, and red-black history across Charles City County.

Annual air emissions of the Chickahomny Gas Station would include 407 tons of Nitrogen Oxides, 323 tons of Carbon Monoxide, 211 tons of Volatile Organic Compounds, 169 tons of Particulate Matter, 62 tons of Sulphur Dioxide, up to 6 1/2 million tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent, 129 tons of Methane, 65 tons of Sulfuric Acid Mist, and 10 tons of Hazardous Air Pollutants.

No community needs these toxins in their air, water, or soil! . To get involved go to Concerned Citizens of Charles City County (C5) c5groupinform.wixsite.com/charlescity and follow on facebook facebook.com/groups/909084206093313/ and twitter twitter.com/concerned_city . Cited sources and imagery:

Mountain Monks from Fritz Schumann on Vimeo.

The Yamabushi in northern Japan practice a once forbidden ancient religion. While their tradition is at risk of disappearing, it offers a way for those seeking a different path in Japan‘s society.

Walking barefoot through rivers, meditating under waterfalls and spending the nights on mountaintops - that is the way of the Yamabushi. They walk into the forest to die and be born again.

Their teachings of Shugendō 修験道 were first established 1400 years ago and peaked in popularity during the 17th century, when Yamabushi visited around 90 percent of all villages in northern Japan. The monks were said to have magical powers and served as advisors to samurai and warlords.

In the late 19th century, when Japan opened itself to the west and moved from a feudal state towards industrialization, their religion was forbidden. Only the monks of Yamagata prefecture in northern Japan practiced the tradition in secret. Their isolation near the three holy mountains of Dewa helped them to save their customs.

Today, their religion is not forbidden anymore, but there aren't many left who practice it either. Some schools have opened their doors to allow women and foreigners. They offer private courses to help maintain their sacred places: yamabushido.jp/

(It's great if you want to share the video, but please don't publish any still images or screenshots from it without asking.)

DEP Testimony By The Public About Fracking Waste Treatment Facility from Public Herald on Vimeo.

Members of the public submitted testimony to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regarding a proposed fracking wastewater discharge facility on the Allegheny River in Coudersport, Potter County, PA.

The meeting was hosted by the DEP with facility operator Epiphany Allegheny, LLC.

DEP Testimony By Potter County Waterdogs About Fracking Waste Treatment Facility from Public Herald on Vimeo.

Local "Water Dogs", including the president of the local "God's Country" chapter of Trout Unlimited, gave their full support of a plan by Epiphany Allegheny, LLC. to build a fracking wastewater treatment facility on the Allegheny River [Ohi:yo' River to the Seneca Nation]. Plans for the facility, which will discharge up to 42,000 gallons of treated wastewater into the river, were shared during a public meeting in Coudersport on January 16th hosted by Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Fracking wastewater contains radioactive material, but the local Water Dogs do not seem concerned that there will be no testing of "water" after treatment but before discharge into the river, to ensure that radioactive elements have been removed.
