cation out of my mind. and then along comes the government of alviro you or e bay velez who donates the mines at the humiliating price of two hundred million dollars because this is truly scandalous. your blog i will explain it to you sometimes my wife buys shoes which she thinks are cheap and i think are expensive. so you must give numbers and explain what is cheap in comparison to other mines globally. how much they were bought for with how many reserves etc one. thing you know they don't produce anything only opinions not facts nor. the union says that the sale was a legal it claims that all the property of frontino was conceded in writing to the thousands of workers of the company by the former bosses who in this way paid salaries pensions and insurance in kind.

to the state is selling something it doesn't own in colombia we call this villainy and overt. but if they can say that elvis presley lives that charlemagne was a jew whatever they like but i have a title and that's the difference. good move with. a government supports foreign investment of. so much so that the canadian multinational made a former colombian minister of foreign affairs the company's president. is this something bad is there some gap in the colombian legal system which doesn't allow a member of government to work. she might have inside information. that's not certain that the president of the company was minister of foreign affairs she doesn't have any knowledge of miller g. that you know of course she is learning

a lot quickly because she is smart when she left the government of gold in another meter where the same to her. fellow. guerrillas are active. so org. group of former paramilitaries that astro horse. finally the envy ghetto office is also in operation here it is a drug cartel funded after the death of escobar by his men it is a war of all against all for territorial control the more territory controlled the more mines exploited this is seventeen gang members of their restaurants were killed today in the battle with foreign insulter in calcutta province up there thirty to set the battle was to claim areas in the mountains own of the aren't you a municipality when i meant that you also say we see that he.

goal is not evidence substance that it's legal. is that attracts illegal groups a lot which he got his. leg out of the new one during money through gold is easy would be it. is going to risk less. the illegals buy gold or all minus a door to you if you want to and then they take it to the municipality and get it legalized the number of conceal it got as legal merchandise it brings profits to the local authorities which will be divided among the politicians who are doing this and thus there will be support from the municipality. all the ordinary gold miners must pay protection to the armed groups active here in order to work. fear keeps everyone silent in suburbia they have a saying flies don't enter into closed mouth. i've heard that regular miners

must pay protection to all the armed groups active here is that correct. they were meant to you know at the moment i don't know anything about that no one has come to me you know and i don't know. you know see. those munitions we give two million a month to fark he says then there is also the envy god office the rest of us the rojas you are going to use and organized crime i don't restore that restaurant or the i'm a got office celia going up or appearing with pay protection with a percentage of the gold you know to get on board one panel he or she would i'm sure as if they were also partners in the mine has anything left over i will clear something is left him not much different but something this is how we've come to operate on a hunch because otherwise it would be impossible to work. because

either that will make you leave people in a city not almighty you or your family one kid or whoever they want. solemnised up if the mine is poor they don't care that much as you are going to study custom but if the man is rich with good production this time if you can look when they visit you all the time did you know and get involved in your business if you. bought only a few of their own profit and as well as their organizations national not because in this area enormous amounts of money are exchanged intentionally going to deploy economic power leads to answers. system has come to establish themselves permanently in the area. the government accuses the small town miners are fueling the bloody civil war.

president santos this is another serious reason to eliminate them over the. every day the secret services of the state that you have along with the ministry of mines and energy as you know the country. that this activity doesn't fuel the conflict i mean. you know you could put it very well in order to prevent it one again as we have done up to now. a special police unit is in charge of hunting down the illegal gold miners. poor peasants watch helicopters landing in the middle of nowhere. noise going up if it's not then we the small miners fund the illegal groups as the government says he will in order to protect our lives our families and to work in peace. we are forced to pay protection to illegal groups.

because the state doesn't protect us says the police and security forces did their job we wouldn't be obliged to pay for protection. so those. here they do the opposite they fight as they search for us humiliate us and throw us off our own land so they can surrender it all to the in multinationals. they. are bent takes the over which comes out of the mine. i'm to the mills to get it pulverized. the cylinders contain metal spheres. cyanide is added to the earth as this helps extract the gold. cyanide is

especially toxic and in large concentrations lethal. it was used in the nancy gas chambers. and lower gerbils and eva brown all committed suicide with the substance during the cold war period both the us and the u.s.s.r. stockpiled it in their chemical arsenals. the solution ends up on this mechanical table which with its slope and movement separates the gold from the earth. at the moment the yellow is gold right now it's still going down covered in dirt i'm excited because this is what we search for to live. will there be war on iraq. friends or for this missile defense offensive. stuff us in action. too much for the second.

what's the strangest attempt of a military takeover. the us president trying to overthrow a foreign country's government but his strategic game was lost. and america recognized its defeat. questioning if cuba managed to cope with its victory. i leave you.

. you i answered go via all the gold miners use mercury to make the process faster and easier. and every mill we throw in this amount of mercury look i'm all right only some of us will gather the gold that we only put this much in each mill come and see how i will do this i. know that i won't think about it add up all my life thanks i mercury is especially toxic to the environment and to humans i am in just the

brain and central nervous system i gather is of what's left of the process in a small container i mercury has the property of dissolving and amalgamating with gold i stopped by one of the mercury captures the gold the monoplane the only thing left for his eco to do is now to gather it up into a cloth and strain it i wonder how much is this gold worth it oh i i don't man. i look why don't i mean this is worth twelve million or four thousand seven hundred

fifty euros i. every friday rabanne gathers the sediment from the whole week and cleans a carefully for hours. thank. you ed. thank you. this is the result. only needs to now is to drive.

over two hundred grams. how much earth does it take to produce this amount. and all of the. no thought about it but i estimate about fifty tons. of the only thing left to do is to get to the gold shop of donya myra down in town . today the two hundred grams were sold for ten million pesos or about three thousand nine hundred euros nowadays ruben and his thirty eight partners are earning more than ever.

in order to sell the gold izzy kill needs to first get rid of the mercury which is stuck to the precious metal. they must burn it off and there are dozens of little shops in the center of town which do that i. i mercury is released into the atmosphere when burned and when it rains it falls on to homes fields rivers and lakes. so go via is the town most polluted by mercury in the world according to the world health organization with measurements up to one thousand times above acceptable levels. but it's a very dangerous job. the man everyone who works with mercury must get treatment but that because you have

mercury in your system and my brother has it and must keep on getting treatment. it's the easiest process for getting the gold out of that and. then the everything else is much more difficult. yet i don't know if there's another method you won't find it here here mercury is used by the ton from unless. what. there's already an ecological catastrophe. which was triggered by small scale metallurgy. but also. we have the greatest concentrations of your curing nor what is not at all logical. is the alternative proposed by this government.

and generally by the governments of latin america to have large organized responsible mining companies which are on the stock market that there is no such thing to be already has large scale metallurgy and our analyses all show an enormous like a responsibility. columbia pollute the environment. no gran colombia pollutes the environment twenty to thirty times less than the average illegal miner. meaning. you know a little bit in the morning when we have some pollution like all companies you know which however is within the parameters of colombian laws and international ones is . there a year there will be. the

effluent from the grand columbia gold factory along with the waste of the small miners falls into a small ravine which is so toxic that it is acquired name everyone calls its cyanide ravine. on its banks gold diggers process to waste one more time trying to find gold in the poison waters nor in the dangers of. that i mean if the mine works we make money with your dental. this work has always taken place here. a lot of people live off this one to protect extracting gold i could i would win a fight. and is there gold there. naturally if there

wasn't we wouldn't work the fell and if they work it again and again there's always gold left but even what we throw away contains go. so what happens in the cyanide ravine isn't pollution from. this pollution. since cyanide falls into her veins its bullish. but its profit to be profitable. december's my we know it damaging the environment but this is how we end our bread that. i. am i.

despite the reactions of the citizens of mar manto the government is planning to relocate them in order to open the way form a doro new open pit mine. the justification for this used by the government is a landslide which took place in two thousand and six it claims of the population is in a high danger zone which means they must be moved to a safer area. despite the fact that state services confirmed that the situation is reversible if interventions are made to the mountain in nearby al johnno the government is already building a hospital modern school compound and houses for the new residents. madore has stated that it will help fund the building programme. to mco local leaders yes we

must talk to the women and tell them that in your new house you have a washer and dryer and you don't need to go to the ravine to wash the clothes so they can have roads a good hospital get a place to study and be done in the road. and the work at home could be the work is crucial we will create many jobs they're going to. but not everyone will have ork nobody will give work to many people who are. great. when spanish conquistadores arrived in colombia in the sixteenth century they felt they had found the mythical el dorado. in amazement they bore

witness to a ritual at play quite heavy to near modern day bogota in which the leader of the movie scouse naked and covered with gold dust through enormous amounts of gold into the water as an offering to the gods. the hunt for the new eldorado is in full swing. you know that someone once said to us in a knowing way it we had sinned but having such a rich land weeks and days in the past and i think it was the colonizers who wanted to take our fertile land i leave our book with the even a little land we still have legend element and as it is a target of the multinational his local is by his or this tiny piece of land we have. what the birth of and we have prepared to defend with our lives some of them and on this we are very clear.
