On the 15th of October, over 50 environmental activists and Texas landowners whose land is being stolen by TransCanada for the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline swarmed onto the construction site to reinforce blockade that has now been in place for over three weeks, since the 24th of September.

On the 11th of October, a third activist, Leah-Lynn Plante, was sent to jail for refusing to talk to a Seattle grand jury supposedly investigation Occupy protests on Mayday. In other words, three people are now being held indefinately in jail for refusing to snitch on Occupy activists and Anarchists in the Pacific Northwest.

The grand jury's act of sending a third activist to jail has unleased another wave of punitive retaliation by anarchists across the entire continent.
