SDPUC, RINOs targets at CO2 pipeline rally

In 2020 the South Dakota Legislature and the state's Earth hating governor revised the penalties for inciting a riot after US District Court Judge Lawrence Piersol found some statutes were unconstitutional in part because they targeted opponents of the Keystone XL pipeline. 

Today, distributed amplification, also known as filling the zone with shit is drowning the South Dakota Republican Party and even the cheese baiting the trap is coated making the next legislative session just another septic system flush if not an excuse for violence in a news desert. 

Members of the South Dakota Public Utilities Cartel (SDPUC) are already racking up profits as fees pile up for Summit Carbon Solutions. Several utilities are based in South Dakota because of the state's regressive tax structure—Northwestern Energy and Black Hills Power among them. In South Dakota the three elected Republicans on the PUC have taken a position opposed to net metering and the state's Koch-soaked legislature has considered but declined to pass legislation on the issue. No corporate taxes, a compliant regulator, a dearth of environmental protection and cheap labor make South Dakota the perfect dumping ground for Earth killers like coal and eyesores like wind farms.
 
A cynical observer might even suspect bankers provided gloomy outlooks to the Rural Mainstreet Index for at least five months especially in midwestern swing states to sink Democratic Party prospects just as Republicans in congress stalled immigration reform because it makes sense to Earth haters that after he was elected again the Orange Julius would run America into the dirt so banks can foreclose on the whole dealio then massage auction price points. 

Amanda Radke is a Mitchell area for-profit christianic nationalist, speaker and writer who is militantly adverse to a proposed pipeline that would transport carbon dioxide to another sacrifice zone in North Dakota. In her most recent column in Farm Forum she alludes to the Trump Organization's call to violence as she marshals forces to descend on the SD Capitol using much of the same rhetoric Luigi Mangione deployed before he allegedly murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. It's improbable to imagine a more deplorable and despicable figure in history than Donald Trump but here we are.
It could be because we see the Green New Deal coming into our state, and the thought of greenwashing the entire prairie with tens of thousands of acres of ugly solar panels and wind turbines makes our stomachs churn. Perhaps (I’ll say the quiet part out loud here), your ideas of economic development and value-added agriculture really is about funneling our hard-earned money to the corporate donor class and the interests of billionaires, rather than serving the very people who call this prairie “home.” Folks, we are in the middle of an outright land grab in our rural state — one that holds the future of our rural landscape in the palm of its hand. Could it be because so many acres of wide open prairie, with access to unadulterated natural resources, might be quite valuable to the corporations who desperately want access to it? We have a real shot at getting the eminent domain reform we deserve in South Dakota, and we have a mandate by the people to get this done. [Open for business, but not for sale. Landowner rally set for Jan. 13 in Pierre.]
Mrs. Radke's riot boosting and hypocritheocratic methodism in selecting worthy billionaires is dizzying. Recall the frustrations of Indigenous Americans when in the days after Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration a career criminal commanded the US Army Corps of Engineers to expedite the Dakota Excess pipeline that violated tribal sovereignty, repeatedly cut funds for Indian education, moved to privatize Native trusts, cut foreign aid to countries with high Native populations and praised Brazil's extreme white wing autocrat who laid waste to Indigenous lands in the Amazon. 

Fading South Dakota Republican Party puffer, Pat Powers is also in the crosshairs after taking on ideological purists like Chris Larson who has a pile of his own at Substack and shared his thoughts with an interested party.
Lil PP is as relevant to the future of SDGOP as Joe Biden is to the D party. IMO, the Grassroots Patriot movement in SD is on a trajectory to take over the party from the RINOs that have provem themselves beholden to special interests at the expense of We the People. More & more of us have awoken to the realization that we are being governed by the Wizard of Oz, metaphorically speaking.
But, it is difficult to imagine a bigger shit hole in South Dakota than Pierre is. Sexual predators in the Statehouse have been a feature of South Dakota for its entire history so in 2018 this blog wondered what prevents interns and other people concerned for their safety from wearing body cameras in Pierre’s predatory environment. 

The late wife of Rapid City's former mayor and legislator Ed McLaughlin was sexually assaulted by a Republican member of the South Dakota Legislature so the SDPUC and the other RINOs should take cover from the riot expected on the day of the rally.
