water contains excrement residues meaning that it comes from the native staff occasions that is what causes cancer and all other illnesses if you constantly drink water with feces at it since you were a child let's see if that doesn't cause you some serious illness. and all of stomach cancer is definitely. another cause of cancer is the lack of protection. against sexual relations around the age of eleven or twelve but there's no control or hygiene. or. that is why there are so much cancer amongst women. i would like to tell those shameless people from texaco responsible for what my family and all of us who live in amazonia are going through. all

this is a tragedy. and this also. because of them i'm dying a slow death and i don't want to live like this. i never imagined i would get sick because of living in that town without knowing where to go i have a lot of rage against those shameless people who really don't feel the pain of the people. they have only beautiful was and great cars while others have nothing to eat i don't want to live like this it's very painful many times i want to die.

with it and you can see the oil more clearly here that i mean. this is oil and there's even more. the deeper i dig the more i will find. the enemy maybe they moved to this house thinking that the toxic pit had been cleaned out they had been told that a good job. when it is very hot oil produces gases in the soil. and then the residents absorb it. all is clear is the only thing texaco really did here. to

cover up everything. absolutely nothing else. i mean tonight on mars. these people say. it's not that i'm trying to defend the company it's just old lice everything they do is based on lies slander and economic profit.

at the trial the natives showed that they would not be trampled on so easily they had been cheated their hold life they've been told of oil was good for their health that they should spread it on their skin to keep the most skeeters away now they don't believe what they are told so easily. this is the biggest environmental trial in world history is being held until two d. you know a well known provincial town of. gori told me. i i

. mr vo is the. number of documents in this case. comes to some one hundred forty two thousand pages and then we really have a whole library here. and i believe that for the participants it is a stoic moment. for us however it's just another trial in the future we're. going to bring this forward to force this american company to stand trial as a future it's hasn't been done before in a so-called third world country it's never. been fifteen years i mean i've literally grown up and grown old workgroups queries and there is

a scenario where could go for another five or ten years because of what i would call a complete abuse of the judicial process for sure i mean they basically pay lawyers to delay as much as they possibly care because they know when the final decision curds the chances are very very high that they're going to lose this case and lose it on a massive scale they molested him he said you know i know i must sometimes mr lawyer prove to me that this person has died of cancer caused by texaco oil the put is there well you can't prove that one particular case of cancer was specifically caused by texaco yes he said but and who had been operating here for over twenty years in the same ones who had caused the destruction texaco.

most of the highest level there was any environmental regulation history of the world so that's real money even to an oil company every sixty million dollars is almost. when your when your profits of show or. a company will not put up with blackmail because for the company and for me it is blackmail so they have an expert asking for unrealistic figures such as eight billion or sixteen billion or let them name whatever somewhere asking for we're talking about an expert to prevent the damage just claims that the sole responsible party is texaco but he forgets the petroecuador has been operating here for twenty years. state owned door was the want to inherit all texaco facilities and infrastructure as soon as the company left the country afterwards contract had expired unfortunately as

a reality shows petro ecuador also inherited the bad practices of the past. if we had any kind of alleged responsibility it stopped existing eighteen to twenty years ago when petro ecuador took charge of all tech school facilities. petro ecuador has cost eight hundred eighty two oil spills in six years why don't they do anything against petroecuador because they were interested in people's health and in nature then why are they doing nothing against petroecuador. why only against a multinational company that left twenty years ago and has been acquitted by the government i'll tell you why it's what americans call the deep pocket. that's the only possible explanation. their strategy is simple they

left ecuador in one thousand nine hundred two but we only began the trial in the us in one thousand nine hundred three when they couldn't accuse the state owned company of anything. in the past eighteen years of course the state company has done many things. it does cause damage and spills it into some clear text of its guilt.

made to the plant nearby and then it happened they forgot to turn off. their always spills one every month. but. petroecuador says it's not responsible for the spill caused here that is what petroecuador says and just leave things as they are. feel. the water is polluted our workers and why do you wash your clothes here on not only do we have nowhere else to wash them this is the only creek and this is where all of us who live here come

see you know there are always cool spills from oil well nine from four from say new blanca there are three or wells that cause the spills into the stream we go to a quad core and they don't care they say there are no leaks they say there was no problem. that.

is good but this is a will. never run it from the plant spills they end up in our property. and not up up into. their family or what do you think in my company however they claim there was no pollution here. for a bit of it is pure oil. if you know but they say they will clean up and there will be no pollution. how will they clean everything in order to clear out the pollution will they turn our houses upside down and clean

beneath them to eliminate the pollution. and i think it is at the moment they don't care about other peoples lives. in san carlos and many have died from cancer caused by pollution. and. eighteen twenty year old girls have died leaving orphans behind. two of us have cancer my daughter and i. heard.

one of them and there was pollution everywhere in order to have no pollution production would have to stop. at this stage of ecuador owes its citizens and it must rest of the environmental and social damage caused upon them from living in oil producing areas. but i would mean you don't. believe however that will drilling cannot stop. why because our country has needs social needs. despite its mineral wealth ecuador is one of the poorest countries over america with an unbearable external. seventeen point five billion dollars.

in the past corrupt governments used oil income for the enrichment of the few. oil producing areas to die a slow death sinking into pollution and misery. there is no state here and we don't even have the basics but the oil companies take our oil and pollute us every day. we have no. electricity. this state has always talking of development of a better life. that is why oil companies drill oil every day. but they don't care about us. they only know how to pollute us in the name of

development they only think of themselves. if you go into the places where petro ecuador operates it's like going to. times. these people are ruthless they care about nobody. in one thousand nine hundred two when i got here i was one of the first ones to arrive and there was absolutely nothing only

a mountain. one day i went to work in a road construction and when i returned i found five tractors destroying my farm. but when i went to petroecuador to protest they insulted my mother and told me to get out of here he treated me in an awful way there was nothing i could do. but. power. the military comes in and beats us up and nothing is done about it. in the end we're better off dying.

i am. i am i am. they are terrorists armed with dry falls and dynamite. they have a stablished a reign of terror. thinking that the government will continue to put up with them so why do you believe. they won't have their way sirs the anarchy is over the party is over we will apply the law order for the well being of ecuadorians i will not hesitate.

the cause is a revolt by the area's residents who put a barricades and closed the roads clipping to nikko cooke oil drilling plants one of the country's largest oil fields. and i am trying to place the group that they entered the houses of violently and dragged people out of their homes. was heard. one of the room hands up everyone on the floor women and children on their

promises they grabbed us from behind and started pushing us and dragging us then i told them why are you doing this. i think you must be gravel. unfortunately punched me kicks me. when they were finished with me they threw me to the floor they grabbed me by the feet and threw me head first i think it was like i was a football you know. they threw some top of another with a thing they used to throw gas they beat us everywhere all the time they trampled me and when i looked like this i couldn't even see because of all the soldiers. you couldn't see the ground they were for over five hundred soldiers and then i said what have i done but all these people done for you to beat them like let's.

see first of all i cannot allow a group of vandals and terrorists traitors of their own country to steal the bread of ecuadorians and do such things. that most of them are paid murderers terrorists who welcomed the security forces with bullets and dynamite. new security forces had to react and there are photos in the media that presumably showed there was violent treatment that was not the case they had to defend themselves because they were being attacked. they took them to jail and kept them in for three to four months saying they were terrorists look here this is the terrorist act committed by petroecuador again. nature. with already nine pipes go through here from nine or oil wells carrying large quantities of oil and

only leave this is a crude oil spill to knock communities but not money and the community was at the. end it got. out of the most of it in our case whether our government just left wing or right wing we always receive the same violent repression because we live in an oil producing area where natural resources are exploited in us but nothing is invested here.

right of any. if. that.
