The RCMP allowed a Rebel News Media contributor to cross their media blockade late yesterday afternoon.

They utilized an injunction to restrict everyone except Coastal GasLink employees, including journalists, from coming within 17 k.m. of the Gidimt’en camp, set up by the Wet’suwet’en First Nation.

The camp was set up to protest the Coastal GasLink pipeline, which is in violation of Wet’suwet’en law. The Indigenous nation has never signed a treaty, to cede their land to the Canadian government

A checkpoint was set up by the RCMP on Morice West Forest Road, a trucking road south of Smithers, B.C. No media members had been allowed to pass the checkpoint until Jan. 15.

The Rebel Arrives

Keean Baxte, who worked for Fireforce Ventures, a white supremacist web store, attempted to gain passage through the RCMP checkpoint near 5 p.m. EST.

The Rebel News Media contributor described the Wet’suwet’en pipeline protesters, as “a foreign funded group of radicals.” He falsely accused them of making “deadly traps and tire bombs.
