So you 'know it', but you don't know how you know it, Gunnar?
Because.......while I haven't followed the demonstrations and protests daily, I'm pretty up-to-speed on the project, the boundary treaty, the parties and their disputes, and the meetings and court filings between the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, the U.S. Army Engineering Corp, and ETP.
I've not seen, nor does it make any sense to me, that the protest started over the Native American Council turning down a $10 million payoff because they wanted $20 million. That's effin' chump change for ETP, especially in terms of the 4-state Dakota Pipeline Project (on which they've already completed major construction and spent over $1 billion in equipment alone). So, I imagine if what you claim you somehow know was actually true, that check would have been written long ago.
MS, can you fill me in on how Gunnar knows what he knows; the source of your "Bingo!" moment? I'm truly interested.
