How soon the American public forgets……. It was not to long ago that people on the east coast were having their property taken away by eminent domain, all for the purpose of increased tax dollars. The couple that had their house taken away from them all for a shopping mall. The house was bulldozed and the land sits empty.
The following are other examples of eminent domain and a definition of eminent domain;

You may think this is all a good idea for more taxes to go to public needs. The biggest problem with this issue is that when the government or a non-profit does it the price they offer for the luxery to eminent domain someones property is pennies on the dollar. There is no fair market value offered. Once an eminent domain form is signed by the owner they have to accept what is given there is no negotiating price. It is called the legal form of “take it or leave it”. I repeat there is nothing FAIR about it.
Now we have another government organization saying they will eminent domain property on an indian reservation with a long stand treaty to not be disturbed. The corporations involved with the pipeline cutting right thru Standing Rock reservation land are stickin’ it to the indians again. This time the corporations are saying that the oil pipeline is more important than the indigenous people. Where is the UN Agenda 21 committees on Indigenous people.
THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS HAS NO AUTHORITY IN OUR STATES!
Once again whitey is breaking a long-standing treaty with the native people. This issue is not just about the native people it is about the issue of eminent domain and big corporatism.
This eminent domain is against all precepts of our constitution. It is also ethically wrong to just take people’s property to achieve some corporations lust for more.

This is no difference between the Hammonds in Oregon and the Standing Rock issue.. You may say it is very different but when you find out why things are being done it boils down to corporate money. The Hammond land was/is holding up the Uranium mining. The Standing Rock issue is holding up big corporate oil companies and big bankers.
Just like the BLM the army corps of engineers do not have a legal right to own land in any state.
See the same thing happening! All for a corporation!

What on earth is the Army Corp of Engineers doing acquiring land for corporations anyway???? This Army Corps of Engineers is not even a legitimate or legal entity that should be telling the American people what they can and cannot do. I will bet you that any documentation and permits that were required by them were passed with flying colors. I will also bet you that no mitigation plan for said pipeline was done with DUE DILIGENCE at all. What authority do they have in our states.
Did the mitigation plan include the purchase of land afected by the pipeline probabaly not. This information would be found in the environmental impact statement done by the lead entity of the project.
