THACKER PASS, Nevada -- "I cried seeing this yesterday," said Dorece Sam, Fort McDermitt Paiute, seeing the destruction of the earth on the Paiute Massacre Site at Thacker Pass for a lithium mine, in northern Nevada. "To see this shattered my heart," Sam said of the violation of the sacred. "There are no cultural monitors."

President Biden is cheerleading this heartbreaking unearthing of the Paiute Massacre Site at Thacker Pass. Calling this violation of the sacred "green energy," Biden is promoting this widespread destruction for lithium batteries for electric cars. It is actually corporate money-making for a Canadian company, Lithium Americas, which has a subsidiary in the U.S., Lithium Nevada.

This current ad shows more of Lithium America's toxic destruction that is coming to this sacred pristine region. Lithium mining will poison the earth, water and wildlife in the region along the Nevada and Oregon border.

The ad shows the 'proposed sulfur transloading terminal' with molten sulfur, soda ash and more hazardous chemicals; a rail track and rail cars transporting dangerous toxins. The Bureau of Land Management, BLM, has rubber-stamped the environmental impact statement, as usual, allowing this to proceed, and the federal courts have sided with the Canadian corporation to violate this sacred place.
