In May 4, 2007, Achuar tribal leaders traveled from their home in the Peruvian Amazon to Santa Monica, CA. They wanted to confront Occidental Petroleum and demand an end to Oxy's toxic oil poisoning of the Amazon. This is video of their protest (with assistance from AmazonWatch.org) outside Oxy's shareholders meeting.
Former U.S. Senator Al Gore's family was a MAJOR Share Holder of Occidental Oil. May still be. Although HE may have had to dump his stock in order not to appear hypocritical in furthering his "Global Warming" agenda.

Mexico is now a war zone. The Calderon government has weakened significantly and is desperate. It has persisted in its imbecile attempt to privatize the national oil company, PEMEX, which right now contributes 40% of the national budget.

They will get their karma and will be destroyed for trying to destroy a group of indigenous people. I support terrorists who sabotage and destroy corporations.
