As we pointed out last week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)–which is supposed to be an organization of, well, engineers–has gone hard-left political, no doubt under the direction of Lord Obama (see Army Corps of Engineers Turns Political in Dakota Access Fight). The USACE has taken to leveraging a sycophantic media to boost its message that Energy Transfer Equity, the company building the Dakota Access Pipeline, should stop building the pipeline (which is already 90% built) because it might hurt the feelings of paid mobsters who are protesting it. Our concern with the project is that the same mobsters protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline have promised to come to the Marcellus/Utica next (see Dakota Access Pipeline Protesters Turn Violent; Coming Here Next?). In addition to using the media to rally its cause, the USACE has just announced it will not, for now, grant a permit to cross under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. ETE is firing back with a caustic press release calling out the USACE as unjust lawbreakers. Yeah, it’s open war now–and Trump can’t assume office fast enough to put an end to the horse manure being pedaled by the Army Corps of Politicized Engineers…
