REF: link available upon request c. A Pro-DAPL article compares the potential success of the operational DAPL pipeline by comparing it to the evidence-based safety and economic success of the BTC pipeline running through Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey. The article suggests that even differences among the parties involved with DAPL can be resolved (as they were with the BTC pipeline) even though “emotions ran high as the many political, commercial and environmental issues were resolved and the decision made to build a pipeline – a pipeline that goes under rivers, across areas of contested ownership, and through regions of cultural and historical importance.” REF: https://apple.news/AwWLAjrJ1Stm-lp7o3Je0fA iii.

The activist known as Tawasi has begun his return trip from Washington DC to North Dakota. He is no longer traveling with the female in the Gray Subaru Prepared for Energy Transfer Partners 2 INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT IS PROPRIETARY AND SENSITIVE DO NOT RELEASE OUTSIDE OF AUTHORIZED AND APPROVED RECIPIENTS Outback that he had traveled with to Washington DC. He is apparently traveling in an unspecified SUV with multiple unknown occupants. Their travel route and intentions along that route are unknown. He is reportedly returning to Bismarck for a court hearing, the date and time of that hearing are currently unknown. b. The key three minutes of the video is attached below. 1. The closure of the Activist’s camps in North Dakota, Patoka provides a new long term institutional focal point for future protest efforts and this interview places a spotlight on Patoka increasing the potential of protests. While there have been no public indications of imminent actions at Patoka, the migration of the North Dakota protestors making their way back to the new camps in Iowa and South Dakota from Washington DC. This flow of veteran activists through the area over the next week provides the potential for a spontaneous protest along their movement corridor. 2. The large volume of oil and gas infrastructure in the Patoka area coupled with its close proximity to St. Louis and ease of access from Chicago provides the ideal conditions for a large scale and protracted protest. Both of those cities maintain a large population of activists and anarchists. Tawasi infers that veteran activists are seeking out sympathetic land owners in the area to provide a location to establish a camp. Moreover, he also infers that this location would be an ideal location for more active forms of protest and rioting. The recently noted trend in conversations in various Illinois forums has shown that Illinois activists are embracing “targeted vandalism” as an acceptable form of protest. 3. Additionally, local farmers are becoming more agitated that the ROW reclamation is far behind the promised deadline and fields effected by the ROW are not being planted for the upcoming season. This is providing less sympathy for DAPL and opening avenues for activists to get a foothold with those that are becoming disenchanted with ETP/SUNOCO. 4. One example is a neighbor to IL-160 who has recently challenged workers at that site. It has been reported to TS-IL that that neighbor has approached them quite upset and was disruptive to the work schedule. While this neighbor is a single incident, other farmers have made similar complaints to workers along the line in the vicinity of IL-300 and other valve sites where reclamation has not proceeded at the rate they believe has been promised. Continued delays on reclamation will continue to provide activists more sympathy with the local farmers and could provide them with protest opportunities in the near future. c. The activist known as Tawasi subsequent visit to Patoka has begun to cause ripples across social media within and outside of Illinois. His initial videos garnered a few thousand vies and a few hundred shares. With a following of over two thousand people, these numbers are not that significant. However, upon arrival to Washington DC, Tawasi was interviewed by a video blogger that TigerSwan Prepared for Energy Transfer Partners 3 INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT IS PROPRIETARY AND SENSITIVE DO NOT RELEASE OUTSIDE OF AUTHORIZED AND APPROVED RECIPIENTS has viewers over multiple social media venues, to include Twitter and Facebook.
