that is what causes cancer and all other illnesses if you constantly drink water with feces that it since you were a child let's see if that doesn't cause you some serious illness. and all those 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 that they are 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 room against those shameless people who really don't feel the pain of the people. they have only beautiful 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 more clearly here that i'm in. all this is oil and there's even more. the deeper i dig the more i will find. the energy 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. what is clear is the only thing texaco really did here is. to cover up everything. absolutely nothing else.

these people say. it's not that i'm trying to defend the company it's just old lovelace everything they do is based on lies slander and economic profits.

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 has been held until you know a well known provincial town of. gori told me. i have mr.

number of documents in this case. comes to some one hundred forty two thousand pages and then we really have a whole library here that. you know i believe that for the participants it is historic moment. for us however it's just another trial . we're. going to bring you this for to force this american company to stand trial as a future it's hasn't been done before and a so-called third world countries. who. have 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 by shirt i mean they basically pay lawyers to delay as much as they possibly care because they know when the final decision kerman's the chances are very very high that they're going to lose this case or lose it on a massive scale they wasted him he said you know i will i must sometimes mr lawyer prove to me the business person has died of cancer caused by texaco oil the put is there well you can prove that one particular case of cancer was specifically caused by texaco he's not but and who had been operating here for over twenty years in the same ones who had caused the destruction texaco. that would make. most of the highest level damages there any of our military nation

the history of the world so that's real money even to an oil company i mean sixteen billion 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. petroecuador has cost eight hundred eighty two oil spills in six years why don't they do anything against petroecuador if they were interested in people's health and in nature then why are they doing nothing against petroecuador. why only against a multi-national 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. we only began the trial in the us in

one thousand nine hundred three when they couldn't accuse the state oh company of anything. in the past eighteen years of course the state company has done many things. that has caused damage and spills. in 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 you do me a favor we have nowhere else to wash them this is the only creek and this is where all of us who live here come the 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 put to a quad core and they don't care they say there are no leaks they say there was no problem with. that.

is good but this is a will. never run it from the plant spills they end up in a property. on the top of. their thing and by what do you think it in like one power over they claimed there was no pollution here. therefore up at work it is pure oil. if you know but they say they will clean up and there will be no pollution. how will be 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. in. eighteen twenty year old girls have died leaving orphans behind. two of us have cancer my daughter and i. are. one of them and there was pollution everywhere in order to have no pollution

production would have to stop. the state of ecuador owes its citizens and it must rest a-q. the environmental and social damage caused upon them from living in oil producing areas and then you put it would mean you don't. believe however it will drilling cannot stop. but 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 debt 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. the state is 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 hell off hours and 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 destroying my farm.

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 we peasants have no power. but 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 bright 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 road scooting to the oil drilling plants one of the country's largest oil fields. and i am in total of course the group that they enter the houses of violently and dragged people out of their homes. was heard. one of the rhythm 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 love all of them. and for us in a room they 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 it was like it was a football. they threw some top of another with the 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 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 still look 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 of the presumably show 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 but look here this is the terrorist act committed by petroecuador again . nature. not the way through eighty nine pipes go through here from nine zero l. wells carrying a large quantities of oil and only leave us is

a crude oil spill to knock communities but not money and the community was with you . in 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 we have.

a right of any baby and i don't. it.
