Protesting Pacific Rim Mining Poisoning Rivers in El Salvador

[gemela56]

robintahoe I live in el El Salvador why dont you come and take a really cold glass of water with me from those rivers because as you said "theres any risk"

[robintahoe]

The people who are making these videos should really get their facts straight. There was never any risks about poisoning rivers. The government of El Salvador has even admitted that the project was environmentally sound, but politicians are getting paid out by certain NGOs to protest the project regardless.

@robintahoe You are insane. Have you been to this communities in El Salvador? I have and I can tell you that this companies already damaged the environment with their "investigations". You go ahead and drink all the poisoned water you want, maybe even have your own mine around the corner from your house, in canada, US. Would be nice and convenient.

Th3Wab3 commented "I don't understand how they even have a right to sue a country for protecting its people. You really gotta question the way these courts exist and for who." That is what the protesters in Seattle and elsewhere have been complaining about. NAFTA, CAFTA, WTO are about wrongful taking of sovereignty away from nation-states by giant global corporations who can sue national governments in Kangaroo courts for lost profits from passing laws protecting their citizens. Outrageous!
