Chevron: The Real Human Story in Ecuador

[giovanni2170]

EEUU SIEMPRE DESTRUYENDO EL PLANETA TIERRA HASTA CUANDO

[jadv1963]

Las culturas de nuestro Ecuador, son únicas en el mundo y debemos protegerlas a toda costa.

[jadv1963]

These HDP, Americans believe that the damage are not

importance. They took our black gold, ended the flora, fauna

and almost with our Indians in the Amazon. Should send equipment and

specialized staff to clean all traces of oil quite

existing in the affected areas, then pay the maximum compensation for

with that money properly reforest the entire area affected. Q even

how much money you give, the dead rise not.

[jadv1963]

Estos HDP, norteamericanos creen que los daños ocasionados no son de importancia. Se llevaron nuestro oro negro, acabaron con la flora, la fauna y casi con nuestros Indígenas de la Amazonia. Deberían mandar equipos y personal especializado para limpiar absolutamente todo rastro de petroleo existente en las áreas afectadas, luego pagar la máxima indemnización para con ese dinero reforestar adecuadamente toda la superficie afectada. Aun q por más dinero que den, los fallecidos no resucitarán.

AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN I AM DEEPLY OFFENDED BY THE DESTRUCTIVE ACTIONS OF AMERICAN OIL COMPANIES IN THE WORLD PATRIMONY OF THE AMAZON. I PROTEST !!!

[MeekDrill]

We have to chance our ways. This is very selfish and inhuman. Those forest are our lungs, they are our pharmacy, they are everything. It's time for a global awakening of la Tierra

[slickjilly]

What can we do to stop this? God help us.

[SuperlatividadAjena]

Chevron Texaco es una mierda de transnacional. Independientemente de cuan redundante suene. Larguense del Ecuador, y paguen por las atrocidades a traves de las cuales se definen.

[dudezillo]

Um... if you really care about this, you should be putting pressure on ***Petroecuador*** Ecuador's state-run oil company this is CURRENTLY DOING THIS! Not in the 1970s. Now.

What's more important ... revenge or protecting the environment now?

(BTW, the gov't of Ecudor is hardly a friend to the "Wise indigenous people". Do some research!)

[bitterbonker]

@dudezillo- What about US government interference in Ecuador's sovereignty, at the behest of oil companies and other interests. The School of the Americas trained dictator Guillermo Rodriguez Lara, for example, & the CIA helped put him in power. Ecuador's government is a product of exploitative US foreign policies... as is the case with many other countries worldwide.

[dudezillo]

@bitterbonker - what about it? If the question is saving the environment **now**, and saving the indiginous people's lives **now** ... those are irrelevant questions. Petroecuador is doing it's damage as we sit here comfortably posting this words.

[SuperlatividadAjena]

@dudezillo ITS NOT ABOUT PETROECUADOR IGNORANT KID.. Chevron Texaco is the own who drilled cancer to communities in the Amazon of Ecuador. This, as a catalyst to the damage being perpetrated today. One would think.. not as a prelude to some ignorant, US loser, commenting. The Ecuadorian government, aside, this comes down to a group of people from the "Oriente" wanting a certain degree of retribution for the massacre individuals with your pseudo-ideals claim to be cleaned up after chucking 2 $

[mauricio54321]

Even do, This is not given some rigth to the companies to did what they did. Both are bad, but, in this case Texaco and all the companies has and will has to pay the enviromental damaged. This and much more.

[SiouxSyndicate]

STOP THE DESTRUCTION!!!!!!!!!

[aburgheim]

Lets get this straight: Hightech 1. world comp. texaco goes to third world country makes huge profits exploit. oil res. without baseline epa oversight (because such epa does not exist in equador - which must have been very attractve at the planning stage-) pollutes the country massively leaves and then blames local com. that was suppose to learn from them how to exploit said oil res.....?

How come we have hardly heard anything about this in us media?

I am naiv... i know

were does the ceo live??

[dudezillo]

@aburgheim - let me get THIS straight... the corrupt governemnt of Ecuador is spilling oil NOW and has yet to clean up it's share of old spills... and the problem is taking revenge on a company **has** clean up it's spills?

Huh.

[aburgheim]

To split the responsibility between the gov. and the corp. is a diversion, a legal trick.

These people golf together and fly the same learjets.

Its typical to blame each other and leave the toxins out there and have the natives suffer from it!

Meanwhile the corps drill some where else laughing about the absence of epa guidelines.

[dudezillo]

Um... as I said - Petroecuador is part of the government there. Petroecuador is **currently** doing damage; Chevron is not.

[gravenewworld82]

Absolutely disgusting. These people are dying so you can live a comfortable lifestyle.

[peepdust]

@gravenewworld82 No, Chevron is known for impeding the advancement of technologies that might threaten our continued dependence upon them.

Those people are dying so Chevron can continue holding us all in chains... They dont give a dam about any of us or our lifestyle.

[feedbacksol]

instead the media promtes co2 consumption instead of environmental oil dumping

[dreamingcosmos]

It is absolutely disgusting how the media has kept this story completely undercover. We need to do everything we can to make this information known and educate the public as to what is really going on - perhaps this is a story that will motivate people to stop using oil once and for all.

[tepepinda]

this is heartbreaking -- people all over the world are just trying to live their lives and getting screwed over and over by giant corporations. and what are we doing about it? it is hugely inspiring when people stand up and say "no, we're not going to roll over and drop dead for your profits."

[ioroman]

Wise indigenous people. Texaco continues to spend millions of dollars fighting a law suit instead of repairing the damage it caused.
