Fear Will Fail On Election Day

This Tuesday , the American people will stand up to crush the Radical Left and reelect President Donald Trump .
In 2016 , the radical , anti-American establishment elites were intent on installing Hillary Clinton as the monarch who would complete the socialist agenda started during the Obama-Biden administration .
They were so close .
But a funny thing happened on the way to the coronation .
Sixty-three million patriots who rightly sensed that this was our last chance to save America , stood up and elected President Donald J. Trump .
This year ’ s defeat will be far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s reelection will be more stunning because he has withstood and overcome the most diabolical , coordinated , systematic conspiracy to undermine and overthrow a democratically elected government in history .
The plotters of this treachery include : The Democrat Party at all levels ; a corrupt media ; disloyal FBI , CIA , and other Deep State actors ; social media monopoly oligarchs ; Hollywood and entertainment celebrities ; university elites ; and the Obama administration .
For four years , they threw everything at this president but the kitchen sink @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American people have prevailed .
Unable to remove the president from office , they launched a massive media-led fear campaign and incorporated it as the core of the Biden-Harris message .
The Radical Left knows that fear is a powerful mechanism of control .
People can not think or act rationally when they are constantly afraid .
Great American leaders have recognized this danger .
Facing the challenge of the Great Depression , Franklin Delano Roosevelt famously proclaimed in his 1933 inaugural address , “ …that the only thing we have to fear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.
” FDR fought fear .
But facing our nation ’ s challenges in 2020 , instead of fighting fear , the Democrat message has been nothing but fear—running the darkest , most pessimistic , negative , and cynical political campaign in American history .
( RELATED : Washington DC Prepares For An Attack ) Their fear campaign has been built upon three themes : The relentless , irrational , anti-scientific hysteria and panic about the Wuhan Virus ; the targeted and tolerated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cities ; and the sinister attempt to inflame racial animosity , hate and violence between black and white Americans .
The media has worked non-stop to incite fear and panic of the Wuhan Virus so Americans they can ’ t think straight .
Democrat governors and mayors have punished citizens by ordering unwarranted , unscientific and inhumane lockdowns—a plan designed not to protect public health , but to take down Trump .
This is Joe Biden ’ s promise of “ A dark winter.
” People are fed up with a diet of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be smart and practical .
With any virus contagion , normal people will consider two factors : How likely is it that I will contract the virus , and if I do catch it , how likely is it that I might die ?
Despite the media news blackout , the truth is slowing seeping out about real virus lethality .
The Democrat media reports on almost nothing but the number of cases but ignores the most important statistics—the likelihood of survival .
The CDC has reported the facts on the survivability rates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not fear .
The survival rates for people contracting the virus are : ages 0-19—99.99 % ; ages 20-49—99.98 % ; ages 50-69—99.5 % ; and ages 70 and over—94.6 % .
The risk of children and young adults dying from the Wuhan Virus is ‘ almost zero.
’ But the real game changer was Trump ’ s amazingly rapid recovery from the virus .
Seeing is believing , and Trump ’ s message was powerful and uplifting , “ …Don ’ t be afraid of Covid .
Don ’ t let it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , under the Trump Administration , some really great drugs and knowledge.
” Compared to Joe Biden , who has remained fearful and isolated in a locked basement literally for six months , the contrast of how Americans should face and live with the virus was astonishing .
Biden ’ s “ dark winter ” was more than just defeatist pessimism .
It was also a glimpse into the dark soul of the Democrat Party that cynically uses human tragedy to win votes .
Jane Fonda , a leading Biden surrogate , called @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the Left ” to keep stoking panic and fear .
They revel in repeating the numbers of American fatalities and just can ’ t seem to wait for the next death to be announced .
Some of their leaders even openly rooted for Trump ’ s death from the virus .
Americans saw their hypocrisy .
Biden and Harris laid the blame of every death at Trump ’ s feet while never mentioning the record of Democrat governors like Andrew Cuomo of New York , Phil Murphy of New Jersey , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ champions ” issued virtual death sentences to thousands of our most vulnerable Americans—elderly residents of senior facilities—when they sent virus-infected people in their midst .
A federal investigation should be conducted to uncover the truth of what appears to be at the very least , criminal negligence—and hold those responsible accountable .
While casting blame , Democrats and their media refused to condemn the communist government of China , the real perpetrator , which unleashed the virus on America and the rest of the world instead of containing it .
Hunter Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former business partner raise the question of whether Joe Biden ’ s refusal to condemn the Chinese government is the result of being compromised by that regime .
The riots , looting , burning and destruction , which have engulfed Democrat-run cities , from Minneapolis to Philadelphia , have been tolerated , enabled and supported by the Democrats who cynically believed that the violence would benefit them politically .
( RELATED : The Slow Suicide Of NYC ) The two primary radical organizations instigating the riots , Antifa and Black Lives Matter , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ United States as a country is illegitimate , evil , inherently racist and irredeemable .
Both share the goal of fundamentally crippling American policing as an institution—Antifa through destroying our entire system of government and Black Lives Matter through its defund the police campaign .
Black Lives Matter is not a civil rights organization—it is a hardcore Marxist movement whose goal is to destroy American society , traditions and Judeo-Christian values .
BLM embraces violence to achieve their ends , threatening that if their demands are not met , they “ …will burn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They practice what they preach .
Black Lives Matter is linked to 91 % of the 637 riots between May 26 and Sept. 12 , 2020 .
Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris completely ignored the on-going violence , even while the mobs burned , looted , shot and destroyed during the Democratic National Convention , and Harris has praised BLM ’ s “ brilliance.
” Riots , looting and mob violence are now accepted by Democrats as acceptable responses to any perceived injustice involving the police .
Black Lives Matter now includes looting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ zero criticism coming from Democrat Party leaders .
The Democrats have become a party that despises America , and the Biden-Harris campaign is based on inciting racial division , fear and hate .
They share with Antifa and Black Lives Matter the false ideology that America is evil and systemically racist .
The Radical Left myth that our country and police are systemically racist was the central theme of the Democratic National Convention and a key element of their party platform .
While most Americans believe in a country where we judge a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ color of their skin , Biden has told black people that if they don ’ t vote for him , they “ ain ’ t black ” and has proclaimed the United States to be “ systemically racist.
” And by propagating the phony systemic racism myth , the Democrats have delegitimized the police in many people ’ s eyes , justifying disobeying lawful police authority and resisting arrest—resulting in more police use-of-force incidents .
With the excuse that “ police are racists ” or “ Nazis , ” attacking and killing police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this lie and demonizing the police , Democrats and their media are responsible for the violence , lawlessness and anti-police hatred we see today .
The 2020 Democrat campaign of fear , hatred of America , and racial division has failed .
Once again , in their contempt for America , Leftist elites have underestimated the power of the American people and the strength of their character .
In reelecting Trump , we will win a great political battle .
Our nation is on the brink , and the American people will rise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ must also look forward to what needs to be done to preserve our victory and the American Way of Life .
President Trump has already shown great leadership in abolishing destructive critical race theory training for federal employees and in moving to restore patriotic American education our children ’ s classrooms .
( RELATED : Parent Groups Call On Education Department To Launch Civil Rights Investigation Into Critical Race Theory At Public Schools ) But America is still under attack and fighting a cultural civil war .

Alarmingly , they have done a surprisingly good job , methodically assuming power and control of many vital institutions and infiltrating others .
Their undermining power and influence are strong in our universities ; local school boards ; the Deep State ; district attorney , prosecutor , and elected political offices ; Hollywood and entertainment ; and both mainstream and social media .
It takes a strong American democracy to defeat Marxist totalitarianism—there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ours than right now .

Biden and Harris laid the blame of every death at Trump’s feet while never mentioning the record of Democrat governors like Andrew Cuomo of New York, Phil Murphy of New Jersey, and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan.

The two primary radical organizations instigating the riots, Antifa and Black Lives Matter, are grounded upon the belief that the United States as a country is illegitimate, evil, inherently racist and irredeemable. Both share the goal of fundamentally crippling American policing as an institution—Antifa through destroying our entire system of government and Black Lives Matter through its defund the police campaign.
Black Lives Matter is not a civil rights organization—it is a hardcore Marxist movement whose goal is to destroy American society, traditions and Judeo-Christian values. BLM embraces violence to achieve their ends, threatening that if their demands are not met, they “…will burn down this system and replace it.” They practice what they preach. Black Lives Matter is linked to 91% of the 637 riots between May 26 and Sept. 12, 2020.
Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris completely ignored the on-going violence, even while the mobs burned, looted, shot and destroyed during the Democratic National Convention, and Harris has praised BLM’s “brilliance.” Riots, looting and mob violence are now accepted by Democrats as acceptable responses to any perceived injustice involving the police. Black Lives Matter now includes looting as part of their slavery reparations program—with zero criticism coming from Democrat Party leaders.
The Democrats have become a party that despises America, and the Biden-Harris campaign is based on inciting racial division, fear and hate. They share with Antifa and Black Lives Matter the false ideology that America is evil and systemically racist. The Radical Left myth that our country and police are systemically racist was the central theme of the Democratic National Convention and a key element of their party platform.
While most Americans believe in a country where we judge a person by their character and not the color of their skin, Biden has told black people that if they don’t vote for him, they “ain’t black” and has proclaimed the United States to be “systemically racist.”
And by propagating the phony systemic racism myth, the Democrats have delegitimized the police in many people’s eyes, justifying disobeying lawful police authority and resisting arrest—resulting in more police use-of-force incidents. With the excuse that “police are racists” or “Nazis,” attacking and killing police officers can be rationalized.
Through perpetuating this lie and demonizing the police, Democrats and their media are responsible for the violence, lawlessness and anti-police hatred we see today.
The 2020 Democrat campaign of fear, hatred of America, and racial division has failed. Once again, in their contempt for America, Leftist elites have underestimated the power of the American people and the strength of their character.
In reelecting Trump, we will win a great political battle. Our nation is on the brink, and the American people will rise to save her. Our national celebration must also look forward to what needs to be done to preserve our victory and the American Way of Life.
President Trump has already shown great leadership in abolishing destructive critical race theory training for federal employees and in moving to restore patriotic American education our children’s classrooms.

But America is still under attack and fighting a cultural civil war. For the past 50 years, the Marxist radical left, in various forms, has been on a mission to destroy America’s values, traditions, beliefs and culture.
Alarmingly, they have done a surprisingly good job, methodically assuming power and control of many vital institutions and infiltrating others. Their undermining power and influence are strong in our universities; local school boards; the Deep State; district attorney, prosecutor, and elected political offices; Hollywood and entertainment; and both mainstream and social media.
It takes a strong American democracy to defeat Marxist totalitarianism—there is no better time to start rebuilding ours than right now.

thedailycaller--2020-11-03--Warren Buffett-Funded Foundation Secretly Paid For Protest To Stop The Construction Of A Highly Cont

Warren Buffett-Funded Foundation Secretly Paid For Protest To Stop The Construction Of A Highly Contentious Pipeline

Roughly 700 activists were arrested in 2016 for protesting the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline , an underground oil pipeline connecting the Bakken shale oil fields in northwest North Dakota with a storage facility in Illinois .
Hundreds of those arrested were freed from jail by one man – an obscure 26-year-old from a small town in Oregon – who admits to paying more than $ 100,000 in cash bond payments .
The mysterious payments , obtained by the Daily Caller , appear to be linked to radical environmental groups funded , in part , by Warren Buffett , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ preventing the construction of the pipeline .
During its construction , thousands of activists converged on the Standing Rock Sioux reservation to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline , claiming it would pollute drinking water and desecrate tribal land .
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a number of state and local environmental agencies conducted studies regarding the environmental impacts of Dakota Access .
After meeting the requirements set forth in those reviews , construction of the pipeline was allowed to move forward in the face of escalating protests .
The protests became @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sept. 3 , 2016 , according to Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier .
Activists broke down fences , then “ crossed onto private property and accosted private security officers with wooden posts and flag poles , ” Kirchmeier said .
One security guard was stabbed in the side with a wooden stake , then trampled .
Others were threatened with knives and kicked by horses .
Additionally , two dogs , including one that was injured when it was hit with a 2×4 , were taken to an area veterinary clinic for treatment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , property damage and violence continued in bursts , resulting in the arrests of hundreds of individuals – 93 percent of whom were from outside of North Dakota , according to local law enforcement officials .
Protesters chained themselves to heavy machinery and broke windows out of construction vehicles .
Two men were charged with reckless endangerment for ramming a vehicle into a truck .
One of those men ’ s sons later pled guilty to the felony kidnapping of a Native American woman he initially met at the Standing Rock protests .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ beaten , threatened with a knife and strangled by the man when they met up in Minnesota on her way to another pipeline protest early the following year .
While those arrested at the pipeline protests sat in jail on charges ranging from disorderly conduct to inciting a riot at the Standing Rock reservation , a young man named Joseph Haythorn was handing over large amounts of cash to bail them out .
An analysis of about 125 bond disclosures from North Dakota indicate that Haythorn paid nearly $ 30,000 in bonds for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ represents just a small portion of the number of bond payments Haythorn made .
Public records show that Haythorn ’ s name appears on bond documents associated with more than 500 arrests .
In total , Haythorn estimates he paid well into the six-figures freeing protesters from jail .
“ In a single mass arrest on October 27 , 2016 , over 100 people were charged with felonies .
Bonds were set at a minimum of $ 1,500 ( some were $ 5,000 ) , ” Haythorn wrote in an email .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ free protestors arrested on that day alone .
“ I kept cash on hand in case people were arrested after-hours or on the weekend , first in a lockbox , then in a locking zippered bag , ” Haythorn said .
At the time , Haythorn was a 26-year-old working as an assistant computer tech for a temporary staffing firm , according to one of his social media profiles .
During the protests , he camped out and relied on others to make ends meet .
“ Individual lawyers sometimes took money out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ between the camps and jails , others would occasionally buy me a meal at Prairie Knights , ” Haythorn said .
“ My parents helped me financially and materially to maintain my presence.
” So how could an activist who relied on handouts in order to eat afford to bond more people out of jail than his hometown of Mosier , Oregon , has residents ?
Haythorn was involved in an intricate network of nonprofits funded by a wide array of donors – including some of the richest individuals and foundations in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for jailed activists , Haythorn was among the first 10 people arrested in connection with the Dakota Access Pipeline protests .
He was charged with disorderly conduct August 11 , 2016 , for breaking through law enforcement barriers and illegally entering a pipeline construction area .
Haythorn and other demonstrators were provided legal assistance by the Water Protector Legal Collective , according to The Bismarck Tribune .
The relationship between Haythorn and the Water Protector Legal Collective went far beyond that of an attorney and a client , or a protestor and a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2016 – around the time he was making hundreds of bond payments on the behalf of arrested activists – Haythorn was listed as a contact for the Red Owl Legal Collective , an organization formed with support from the National Lawyers Guild to coordinate legal assistance for the opponents of the Dakota Access Pipeline .
A few weeks later , Red Owl Legal Collective changed its name to the Water Protector Legal Collective .
The Water Protector Legal Collective registered as a nonprofit corporation with the state of North Dakota on Oct. 25 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after initially providing legal assistance to Dakota Access protesters .
Haythorn ’ s name appeared as one of two contacts on a solidarity statement that promised the Water Protector Legal Collective would offer its services to “ anyone arrested ( at the Standing Rock Reservation ) as part of the resistance to the pipeline.
” Those services would be provided “ without personal judgments about the quality , morality , or strategic wisdom of any action.
” The statement also promised the support of the Freshet Collective , an outfit committed to providing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and every individual at the camps arrested in direct actions to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline.
” A radical encampment called the Red Warrior Camp was also praised in the declarations for “ planning and executing direct actions to physically block pipeline construction.
” While none of the bond documents Haythorn filled out mention the Red Owl Legal Collective or the Water Protector Legal Collective , the phone number he provided on the forms matches a phone number listed on the solidarity statement .
When reached via email , Michelle Cook , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Collective , refused to respond to questions concerning the organization ’ s funding or its association with Haythorn .
Emily Beck , a legal worker who provided services to protesters through the Water Protector Legal Collective , stated a group called the Freshet Collective paid bail for the protesters .
Representatives of the Freshet Collective did not respond to requests for comment .
According to Haythorn , several people and organizations were involved in funding the bond payments , including actress and progressive activist Shailene Woodley .
The Freshet Collective , however , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to bond protesters out of jail .
In recounting the mass arrests of protesters Oct. 27 , 2016 , Haythorn said “ Freshet disbursed over $ 100,000 in that event alone.
” The Freshet Collective did not appear in a recent search of the IRS ’ s list of tax exempt organizations and apparently hasn ’ t filed federal nonprofit paperwork with the IRS .
The Freshet Collective did not respond to the Daily Caller ’ s inquiries for comment .
The Freshet Collective was registered as a nonprofit in Minnesota by two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ organization run by two-time Green Party vice-presidential candidate Winona LaDuke .
Honor the Earth regularly receives funding from the Tides Foundation , including a $ 63,000 gift specifically earmarked to support the Standing Rock Reservation protests .
The NoVo Foundation , an organization run by Warren Buffett ’ s youngest son , Peter , and Peter ’ s wife , Jennifer , also regularly contribute to Honor the Earth .
In addition to pocketing $ 944,000 from the National Lawyers Guild between 2016 and 2017 , the Water Protector Legal Collective also received @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Novo Foundation .
One foundation watchdog is extremely troubled by the NoVo Foundation ’ s continued funding of the Water Protector Legal Collective after the group ’ s apparent show of support for their behavior during the pipeline protests via the bond payments .
“ Beating animals and people and destroying property are not legitimate pursuits ( the Novo Foundation ) should be supporting , ” said Hayden Ludwig , an investigative researcher at Capital Research Center , a conservative think tank that examines how foundations and charities spend their money .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can ’ t speak to NoVo ’ s legal culpability in all of this ; but it seems clear that , good intentions or not , NoVo should have immediately cut ties with Water Protector Legal Collective like any responsible organization would , ” Ludwig said .
NoVo Foundation representatives did not condemn the sometimes illegal behavior the foundation helped to fund .
On its website , the foundation boasts that its financial support of the Water Protector Legal Collective will be used “ to leverage information and experience gained through litigation and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family ’ s interest in the fight to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline appears to go beyond environmental concerns or the desire to preserve tribal lands .
Buffett , who donated almost the entire $ 182 million in funding the NoVo Foundation received in 2018 , is the chairman and largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway .
The holding company owns BNSF ( formerly the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway ) , a railroad with existing infrastructure capable of delivering oil and natural gas from North Dakota to oil terminals in the Midwest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the Freshet Collective , Honor the Earth and other environmental organizations funded by the NoVo Foundation succeeded in stopping the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline , Berkshire Hathaway would have been positioned to collect significant sums transporting oil from North Dakota .
The NoVo Foundation did not respond to requests for comment .

Roughly 700 activists were arrested in 2016 for protesting the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, an underground oil pipeline connecting the Bakken shale oil fields in northwest North Dakota with a storage facility in Illinois.
Hundreds of those arrested were freed from jail by one man – an obscure 26-year-old from a small town in Oregon – who admits to paying more than $100,000 in cash bond payments.
The mysterious payments, obtained by the Daily Caller, appear to be linked to radical environmental groups funded, in part, by Warren Buffett, who had a personal financial stake in preventing the construction of the pipeline.
During its construction, thousands of activists converged on the Standing Rock Sioux reservation to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline, claiming it would pollute drinking water and desecrate tribal land.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a number of state and local environmental agencies conducted studies regarding the environmental impacts of Dakota Access. After meeting the requirements set forth in those reviews, construction of the pipeline was allowed to move forward in the face of escalating protests.
The protests became “more like a riot” on Sept. 3, 2016, according to Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier.
Activists broke down fences, then “crossed onto private property and accosted private security officers with wooden posts and flag poles,” Kirchmeier said.
One security guard was stabbed in the side with a wooden stake, then trampled. Others were threatened with knives and kicked by horses. Additionally, two dogs, including one that was injured when it was hit with a 2×4, were taken to an area veterinary clinic for treatment.
Over the following weeks, riots, property damage and violence continued in bursts, resulting in the arrests of hundreds of individuals – 93 percent of whom were from outside of North Dakota, according to local law enforcement officials.
Protesters chained themselves to heavy machinery and broke windows out of construction vehicles. Two men were charged with reckless endangerment for ramming a vehicle into a truck. One of those men’s sons later pled guilty to the felony kidnapping of a Native American woman he initially met at the Standing Rock protests. The woman said she was raped and beaten, threatened with a knife and strangled by the man when they met up in Minnesota on her way to another pipeline protest early the following year.
While those arrested at the pipeline protests sat in jail on charges ranging from disorderly conduct to inciting a riot at the Standing Rock reservation, a young man named Joseph Haythorn was handing over large amounts of cash to bail them out.
An analysis of about 125 bond disclosures from North Dakota indicate that Haythorn paid nearly $30,000 in bonds for about 80 Standing Rock protestors. That represents just a small portion of the number of bond payments Haythorn made.
Public records show that Haythorn’s name appears on bond documents associated with more than 500 arrests.
In total, Haythorn estimates he paid well into the six-figures freeing protesters from jail.
“In a single mass arrest on October 27, 2016, over 100 people were charged with felonies. Bonds were set at a minimum of $1,500 (some were $5,000),” Haythorn wrote in an email. He recalled paying more than $100,000 to free protestors arrested on that day alone.
“I kept cash on hand in case people were arrested after-hours or on the weekend, first in a lockbox, then in a locking zippered bag,” Haythorn said.
At the time, Haythorn was a 26-year-old working as an assistant computer tech for a temporary staffing firm, according to one of his social media profiles. During the protests, he camped out and relied on others to make ends meet.
“Individual lawyers sometimes took money out of their own pockets to sustain me between the camps and jails, others would occasionally buy me a meal at Prairie Knights,” Haythorn said. “My parents helped me financially and materially to maintain my presence.”
So how could an activist who relied on handouts in order to eat afford to bond more people out of jail than his hometown of Mosier, Oregon, has residents?
Haythorn was involved in an intricate network of nonprofits funded by a wide array of donors – including some of the richest individuals and foundations in the world.
Before he began posting bond for jailed activists, Haythorn was among the first 10 people arrested in connection with the Dakota Access Pipeline protests. He was charged with disorderly conduct August 11, 2016, for breaking through law enforcement barriers and illegally entering a pipeline construction area.
Haythorn and other demonstrators were provided legal assistance by the Water Protector Legal Collective, according to The Bismarck Tribune.
The relationship between Haythorn and the Water Protector Legal Collective went far beyond that of an attorney and a client, or a protestor and a sympathetic charity.
In late September of 2016 – around the time he was making hundreds of bond payments on the behalf of arrested activists – Haythorn was listed as a contact for the Red Owl Legal Collective, an organization formed with support from the National Lawyers Guild to coordinate legal assistance for the opponents of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
A few weeks later, Red Owl Legal Collective changed its name to the Water Protector Legal Collective.
The Water Protector Legal Collective registered as a nonprofit corporation with the state of North Dakota on Oct. 25, 2016 — more than two months after initially providing legal assistance to Dakota Access protesters.
Haythorn’s name appeared as one of two contacts on a solidarity statement that promised the Water Protector Legal Collective would offer its services to “anyone arrested (at the Standing Rock Reservation) as part of the resistance to the pipeline.” Those services would be provided “without personal judgments about the quality, morality, or strategic wisdom of any action.”
The statement also promised the support of the Freshet Collective, an outfit committed to providing legal defense funds “to support any and every individual at the camps arrested in direct actions to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline.” A radical encampment called the Red Warrior Camp was also praised in the declarations for “planning and executing direct actions to physically block pipeline construction.”
While none of the bond documents Haythorn filled out mention the Red Owl Legal Collective or the Water Protector Legal Collective, the phone number he provided on the forms matches a phone number listed on the solidarity statement.
When reached via email, Michelle Cook, the board chair of the Water Protector Legal Collective, refused to respond to questions concerning the organization’s funding or its association with Haythorn.
Emily Beck, a legal worker who provided services to protesters through the Water Protector Legal Collective, stated a group called the Freshet Collective paid bail for the protesters. Representatives of the Freshet Collective did not respond to requests for comment.
According to Haythorn, several people and organizations were involved in funding the bond payments, including actress and progressive activist Shailene Woodley. The Freshet Collective, however, provided more money than any other source to bond protesters out of jail.
In recounting the mass arrests of protesters Oct. 27, 2016, Haythorn said “Freshet disbursed over $100,000 in that event alone.”
The Freshet Collective did not appear in a recent search of the IRS’s list of tax exempt organizations and apparently hasn’t filed federal nonprofit paperwork with the IRS. The Freshet Collective did not respond to the Daily Caller’s inquiries for comment.
The Freshet Collective was registered as a nonprofit in Minnesota by two employees of Honor the Earth, an organization run by two-time Green Party vice-presidential candidate Winona LaDuke.
Honor the Earth regularly receives funding from the Tides Foundation, including a $63,000 gift specifically earmarked to support the Standing Rock Reservation protests.
The NoVo Foundation, an organization run by Warren Buffett’s youngest son, Peter, and Peter’s wife, Jennifer, also regularly contribute to Honor the Earth.
In addition to pocketing $944,000 from the National Lawyers Guild between 2016 and 2017, the Water Protector Legal Collective also received more than $1 million from the Novo Foundation.
One foundation watchdog is extremely troubled by the NoVo Foundation’s continued funding of the Water Protector Legal Collective after the group’s apparent show of support for their behavior during the pipeline protests via the bond payments.
“Beating animals and people and destroying property are not legitimate pursuits (the Novo Foundation) should be supporting,” said Hayden Ludwig, an investigative researcher at Capital Research Center, a conservative think tank that examines how foundations and charities spend their money.
“I’m not a lawyer and can’t speak to NoVo’s legal culpability in all of this; but it seems clear that, good intentions or not, NoVo should have immediately cut ties with Water Protector Legal Collective like any responsible organization would,” Ludwig said.
NoVo Foundation representatives did not condemn the sometimes illegal behavior the foundation helped to fund. On its website, the foundation boasts that its financial support of the Water Protector Legal Collective will be used “to leverage information and experience gained through litigation and advocacy at Standing Rock.”
The Buffett family’s interest in the fight to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline appears to go beyond environmental concerns or the desire to preserve tribal lands.
Buffett, who donated almost the entire $182 million in funding the NoVo Foundation received in 2018, is the chairman and largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway. The holding company owns BNSF (formerly the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway), a railroad with existing infrastructure capable of delivering oil and natural gas from North Dakota to oil terminals in the Midwest.
If the Water Protector Legal Collective, the Freshet Collective, Honor the Earth and other environmental organizations funded by the NoVo Foundation succeeded in stopping the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, Berkshire Hathaway would have been positioned to collect significant sums transporting oil from North Dakota.
The NoVo Foundation did not respond to requests for comment.
“I think that it’s fair to call NoVo a major part of Warren Buffett’s financial interests and not just a foundation associated with his family,” said Ludwig. “So it’s not surprising to see NoVo mixed up in the Dakota Access Pipeline protests.”
“NoVo should have withdrawn funding to the anti-pipeline protests to avoid even the image of a conflict of interest,” according to Ludwig. “Supporting these protests was irresponsible.”
Despite substantial funding and criminal tactics resulting in hundreds of arrests by opponents, the Dakota Access Pipeline opened up to commercial activity June 1, 2017. Even though the pipeline was completed, Haythorn called the protests “greatly successful.”
“Delaying and increasing the cost of construction, even though the project was completed, will help disabuse potential investors in future fossil fuel infrastructure projects of any misconceptions they may have regarding the simplicity and economy of such investments,” Haythorn said.

An image shared on Facebook claims 23% of mail-in ballots in Miami-Dade County, Florida, were rejected for missing signatures.
Verdict: False
Less than one percent of mail-in ballots have been preliminarily rejected for not having a signature in Miami-Dade County as of Nov. 2, according to a spokesperson for the county’s elections department.
Fact Check:
The screen grabbed tweet reads, “Miami Dade reporting 23% of early ballots being REJECTED for missing signatures … REALLY * REALLY IMPORTANT FOKS: RETWEET TILL YOUR FINGERS GET TIRED!!” While the post uses the term “early ballots,” it appears to be referencing mail-in ballots, as it links to a page on the Miami-Dade Democratic Party website that gives instructions on how voters can fix a mail-in ballot rejected for not having a signature or for a signature matching issue.
Mail-in ballots in all states must have a voter signature in order to be counted, according to ABC News. Many states also use signature matching to verify the identities of voters by comparing the signatures on the mail-in ballots to signatures election officials have on file, per The New York Times.
