residues meaning that it comes from the native stepha cations 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 of stomach cancer is definitely. another cause of cancer is the lack of protection. against sexual relations around the edge 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 but 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 that's when things get up and they have only beautiful view was and great cars while others have nothing to eat i don't want to live like this it's very painful you know many times i want to die. that. everything.

was ok. with it and you can see the oil more clearly here that i'm in the in my whole this is oil and there's even more. the deeper i dig the more i will find you know what i am but when. you know i made a move to this house thinking that the toxic pit had been cleaned out they had been told that a good job bindo what i want nothing more. when it is very hot oil produces gases in the soil yes with and then the residents absorb it. look at what is clear is the only thing texaco really did here he is stone smeared in the

woods to cover up everything. absolutely nothing else. myself to look i mean to land on mars. but everything these people say is a lie but 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 has been held until two d. you know a well known provincial town off while the grio were told to get. i

think. mr efraim novio is the. number of documents in this case. comes to some one hundred forty two thousand pages and then this will really have a whole library here in it that. you and i believe that for the participants it is a stoic moment that he's done for us however it's just another trial. we're. going to bring this forward to force this american company to stand trial as a huge huge. hasn't been done before in a so-called third world country. where the family have been fifteen years i mean i've literally grown up and grown old workgroups queries and there is a scenario where it could go on another five or ten years because of what i would

call a complete abuse of the judicial process by sherrard i mean they basically pay warriors to delay as much as they possibly care because they know when the final decision curran's 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 the business person has died of cancer caused by texaco oil the point is they're not getting a lot well you can't 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 way that you look at the same ones who had caused the destruction texaco.

that would make. most of the highest level damage there any environmental regulation 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 some they are asking for we are 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 petroecuador was the want to inherit all texaco facilities and infrastructure as soon as the company left the country afterwards contra pet 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 say look if they were interested in people's health and in nature then why are they doing nothing against petroecuador. why only against the 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. i guess if. 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 old company of anything. in the past eighteen years of course the state company has done many things. it does cause damage and spills it all into some clear text of its guilt.

made minced to the plant nearby and then it happened they forgot to turn off a valve. that there always spills one every moment. better look. better ecuador says it's not responsible for the spill caused here but is what petroecuador says and just leave things as they are. feeling. the water is polluted our workers and why do you wash your clothes here on can not afford to 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 feed of the family 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 i don't. believe.

it's good but they don't and this is a will. never run it from the plant spills they end up in a property. on the top of. their thing about a body think it in like one power over they claim there was no pollution here. get caught up it that way it is pure oil. if in a bar they say they will clean up and there will be no pollution or living on how well 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. wanted

internet of email and they don't care about other people's lives. in san carlos and many have died from cancer caused by pollution of. the end. eighteen twenty year old girls have died leaving orphans behind. and 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 acute the environmental and social damage caused upon them from living in oil producing areas. but i would mean you don't know what. however well drilling cannot stop. but why because our country has needs social needs. despite its mineral wealth ecuador is one of the poorest countries over it and america would then unbearable external debt which was seventeen point five billion dollars . in the past corrupt

governments used oil income for the enrichment of the few. producing areas were left to die a slow death sinking into pollution and misery. yeah 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 phone lines or 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. you know the better if you go into the places where petro ecuador operates it's like going to hell off hours and times what i think about these people are ruthless and they care about nobody. and in one thousand nine hundred eighty two when i got here i was one of the first ones to arrive and there was absolutely nothing only

a mountain we went there one day i went to work in a road construction and when i returned i found over five tractors destroying my farm and. when i went to petroecuador to protest they insulted my mother and told me to get out of here treated me in an awful way that meant there was nothing i could do. but we peasants have no power. but about the military comes in and beats us up and nothing is done about it. in the end we're better off dying.

i i. they are terrorists armed with dry falls and dynamite. but if you want to make sure they have a stablished a reign of terror. thinking that the government will continue to put up with them as you pull it out. they won't have their way sars the anarchy is over the party is over we will apply the law order for the well being of ecuadorians i will not hesitate.

because he's a revolt by the area's residents who put a barricades and closed the roads clipping to the oil drilling plants one of the country's largest oil fields. i have been trying to place the group that they enter the houses of violently and dragged people out of their homes. one of the. hands up everyone on the floor women and children.

they grabbed us from behind and started pushing us and dragging us then i told them why are you doing this. i think. and person whom 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 i think it was like i was a football. they threw us on top of another with the thing they used to throw gas but 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. but. 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 better. was

pretty beat first of all i cannot allow a group of vandals and terrorists traitors of their own country to still look bred of ecuadorians and do such things. that which most of them are paid murderers terrorists who welcomed the security forces with bullets and dynamite to make up the new security forces had to react and there were 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. them of their own personal freedom they took them to jail and kept them in for three to four months saying they were terrorists but look here and this is the terrorist act committed by petroecuador against nature. not the idea but i'm done with already nine pipes go through here from nine oil wells carrying

large quantities of oil and only leave us is a crude oil spilled in our communities but not money little things that get. in and got. out of them pulls out it in our case whether our government is a left wing or right wing but we always receive the same violent repression it gets because we live in an oil producing area where natural resources are exploited in us but nothing is invested here. and i can't manage.

a migraine from i had a conversation about your game in the vicinity and i fail to appreciate like a lot of the same. if.
