@span ProPublica It’s called ‘theft’ and they’ve been robbing the tribes and individuals for over 70 years … taking their oil, minerals and sending checks as little as 6¢ so they can say “We sent them a check.” They slant drilled onto my friend’s property, tapping into their oil reserve below their 40 acres… and did it with a drill next to their property line. Paid them nothing.

They're not just stealing resources, they're selling them to be burned and destroy the planet. They're thieves and murderers
