About this ebook:
In the spring of 2010, a remote home above a river in northern Idaho lost its electrical power and owner Linwood Laughy drove to town to investigate. On the way, he met linesmen who said they were raising the power lines to accommodate giant loads of equipment that would be coming along the little road. Laughy and his wife, Borg Hendrickson, soon discovered that Big Oil and the state government had been colluding for years to turn their bucolic corridor through the mountains into an industrial thoroughfare, despite its protection from just that fate by the federal Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Big Oil needed to get these “megaloads” of machinery from Asia to Canada’s tar sands, to build the facilities that would mine and process crude oil for the proposed XL Pipeline.Laughy and Hendrickson, who were in late-middle age, sparked opposition in Idaho that was mirrored by a grassroots campaign in Montana. Goliath Staggered recounts the drama that unfolded in these two states week by week from 2010-2013. It chronicles relentless sleuthing by citizen activists, broken laws, disinformation campaigns, nonviolent protests and arrests, shipping accidents on the road, and legal battles in both states that pitted the people against the massed forces of government and big industry. The story of this successful resistance provides a template for how everyday people, sufficiently motivated and brilliantly led, can protect their environment against seemingly invincible forces bent on degrading it for profit.
