Over 6,000 Veterans arrived at Standing Rock (12.4.2016) and ZERO live footage. It is BLOCKED!

Please post any footage you find of today's Standing Rock activities.

Their digital feeds are blocked.

The Veteran's brought media with them, their reporting is being prevented!

All the reports I've seen cite "hundreds" of arriving veterans, with about 2000 ultimately expected. There is a lot of daylight between 2k and 6k.

The government is blocking free speech. This is during an Obama administration.

Everyone should know about what corporate media (R) is pretending is not happening.

Because it is happening. And it will not stop happening.

At Least 2,000 Veterans Arrive at Standing Rock to Protest Dakota Pipeline

http://abcnews.go.com/US/2000-veterans-arrive-standing-rock-protest-dakota-pipeline/story?id=43964136


At least 2,000 U.S. military veterans have arrived at Standing Rock amid frigid cold to help battle against the Dakota Access oil pipeline.

The vets, led by Wesley Clark Jr., son of retired general and former presidential candidate Wesley Clark, began arriving in force today to help protest against the controversial crude oil pipeline project in North Dakota.
