Steve Donziger Wants Billions From Chevron Not For Ecuador

[mpwaterhouse]

Right on, Donzinger is a consummate con-artist. With his legal cronies lighting fires under well-meaning environmentalists by leveraging misinformation aimed at "victims" of subverted, encouraged and generally lied-to Ecuador tribes. Toss in some highly effective negative spin marketing firms and we get this mess. This is a great expose of the kind of shenanigans that these legal shakedown teams dressed up as the tighteous get up to.

@DivinityBleu And I find it interesting that you BELIEVE THAT BULLSHIT.

@sepacamp get a life.

[randumbusername]

Good info. 

[danman801]

@ zennie62 You are truly an ignorant, do you have any idea what are you talking about really?? Have you been in the Ecuadorian Amazon area??? or are you just repeating the BS Chevron is paying you to say? I am Ecuadorian and I know what is in there just for your information... Texaco (now Chevron) exploited the oil from the Ecuadorian Amazon forest before the consortium with the Ecuadorian state company was created.

@danman801 Steven Donziger is in BIG trouble

This video is to Crude the same thing that your futuristic San Francisco video was to the latest Star Trek Movie.

Here you blatantly ignore the 30 years of Texaco tenure and criminally negligent behavior. In the San Fran video you make a fuss over San Francisco in 300 years from now looking different. And our pursuant discussion you admitted why you did that. To stand out, get views/page hits and bank from it. This is obviously the same thing.

Your argument makes no sense. It's not like the oil companies get scared when they see a law suit. You can't "shake them down" like that and you know it or should know it. Donziger is taking enormous risks taking on this challenge. This is just silly. I'm not sure why you are jealous of Donziger. If he wins, he gets rich. If he loses, he gets nothing.

As for the poor of Ecuador, what would you have them do? Not sue?

[Juanpasaenz]

you should at least spell the country's name right. It's "Ecuador", not "Ecaudor". Seems you're really serious about this case.

[javy926]

Who's paying you fool???

 Chevron

[lukepevensie]

out of 40 percent of the pits from Texaco, they only cleaned up 8 percent but poorly. so now you are blaming the citizens for drinking and bathing in that water. get them out of the Amazon infected area to the mountains temporarily and force Petro Ecuador and chevron to clean up this mess. petro Ecuador is the cause of climate change.

[lukepevensie]

Texaco came into the rainforest in 1962 now lots of tribes now have cancer and all that, chevron inherited Texaco so now PetroEquador is responsible for most of it. but i think chevron still needs to truly clean up the pits that they left behind.

[edwardrendon]

what is the reason why you making this videos?

[manabita19]

I think you're overlooking the symbolism of the court case. Regardless of what the outcome is these indigenous people who have never had the opportunity to voice their opinion, not even to the government, are given the chance to make their case public. This has already helped them warn and prepare other indigenous groups in Ecuador.

p.s. "embedded in the culture" that doesn't sound superior at all... what culture are you referring to exactly, the sue mentality that is really American ?

[otay37]

shut up american oil freak

[emineid]

Who wins? Maybe Obama, if he keeps getting these bucks from sleazy lawyers!

Obama can set an example by giving back the $2300 he got from your boy Donziger.

I spent a half year in Honduras. Most of American "volunteers" down there were just instigating the locals to sue/extort the US for their own quagmire of a society. These Latin Americans are never going to establish prosperous nations if they keep drinking the Peace Corps Kool-Aid.

im from ecaudor! omg!

[oaklandfocus]

Wow. A bombshell video. Seems like gringo's using your folks for billions.
