I will boycott shell from now on - I really really wish more people knew about this - - I wish that the u.s. media reported things like this and gave it more attention than all of the stupid things they give so much air-time. Ken Saro Wiwa, you are a brave soul, a hero - - and your spirit lives on. BOYCOTT SHELL and spread the word about Saro Wiwa and the struggle for justice in Ogoni.

Anyone who harms a child for an oil company is a war criminal.

Everyone knows oil is filthy and dirty... But just how filthy and dirty it really has been, we will never know... A full investigation in this case will help us know more however.

The worlds dependence on oil is disgraceful in every single way possible.

In the meantime US and foreign citizens could boycott Shell products until this situation is addressed. I know that other multinational companies aren't any better, but its a start. At least CITGO is owned by Venezuala. Send a copy of this video to everyone you know. The fact is that capitalism is simply not a sustainable economic system for the majority of the people who live under it. It only works for those 10% off the families that control 90% of the world's wealth.
