The anticipated BIA clearing has caused a large number of protesters in the Standing Rock, ND area to begin relocating.

Non-indigenous protesters indicate they are returning to their home of records and will continue to solicit funds, primarily through GoFundMe with ongoing propaganda messages. b. The shooting death of a protester on the Sabal Trail Pipeline in Florida may increase tensions along pipelines throughout the country, though it is likely the event will only foster more national attention to the pipeline protesters’ cause, providing them more propaganda for their financial support campaigns.

INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT IS PROPRIETARY AND SENSITIVE DO NOT RELEASE OUTSIDE OF AUTHORIZED AND APPROVED RECIPIENTS “This doesn’t stop us, this is not going to stop us. We’re going to go somewhere else and continue this fight.” — There is a clear determination, expressed by prominent figures in the Standing Rock anti-DAPL indigenous movement, to continue fighting pipelines in other places now that the fight in North Dakota is all but over. This is to be expected. What the anti-DAPL protesters have called an “indigenous decolonization movement” was, essentially, an externally supported, ideologically driven insurgency with a strong religious component. And, as it generally followed the jihadist insurgency model while active, we can expect the individuals who fought for and supported it to follow a post-insurgency model after its collapse. The archetype of a jihadist post-insurgency is the aftermath of the anti-Soviet Afghanistan jihad. While many insurgents went back to their pre-war lives, many, especially the external supporters (foreign fighters), went back out into the world looking to start or join new jihadist insurgencies. Most famously this “bleedout” resulted in Osama bin Laden and the rise of Al Qaeda, but the jihadist veterans of Afghanistan also ended up fighting in Bosnia, Chechnya, North Africa, and Indonesia, among other places. We have already seen this “bleedout” happen with the ideologically driven pipeline fighters from Standing Rock, as several of them are in the process of moving to Iowa, including highprofile drone flyer Dean Dedman Jr. Additionally, other camps are being set up and are actively recruiting Standing Rock diaspora, such as the Two Rivers Camp in Texas fighting the TransPecos Pipeline. We also saw bleedout happen in the aftermath of the collapse of the Mississippi Stand group in Iowa in late-2016. Former members have surfaced in New York, Florida, and Arkansas protesting pipelines and proliferating the knowledge they gained from their anti-DAPL efforts in Iowa. For example, Alex Cohen provided non-violent resistance training to activists in Arkansas. Additionally, is currently supporting the anti-Sabal effort in Florida. Recently, she posted on Facebook in support of two pipeline activists arrested in Florida who had locked themselves inside of a pipeline, a tactic Mississippi Stand group used at the Des Moines River HDD in November 2016. a key original supporter of the Mississippi Stand group, provided an insightful analysis of why the MS group failed to a small group of protesters in November, 2016. He said there were three basic causes, 1. not enough people (protesters) quickly enough, 2. ideological divides within the protesters, but most importantly, 3. DAPL was able to radically increase security measures at key nodes and do so far faster than the protesters were able to conduct effective shutdown or sabotage actions.

INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT IS PROPRIETARY AND SENSITIVE DO NOT RELEASE OUTSIDE OF AUTHORIZED AND APPROVED RECIPIENTS While we can expect to see the continued spread of the anti-DAPL diaspora and the proliferation of successful TTPs following the jihadist bleedout model, we are able to study the protesters’ successes and failures and so improve our preparedness. Aggressive intelligence preparation of the battlefield and active coordination between intelligence and security elements are now a proven method of defeating pipeline insurgencies.
