6:32 pm
a convenient blame for these fears about appropriation of land with the cia the cia is not working to protect the american people its primary function is to protect american corporations have better separate. and they added. to the americans to be fomenting or carrying on a war and if it were to do this without any kind of congressional approval i think would put some real strain on the goes to show we are an imperial nation and we basically have been in your nation throughout most of our history the rich protect their resources and the way to do it is with blue states that ensued harsher persion. the us didn't invent it at superior. and i know we wish. for the people to get it
6:33 pm

6:34 pm
the most it'll be fifty days and we'll leave we'll stop you know we'll leave. but he emperor example you can see here that all of the people came without weapons and of. nobody brought arms but on the other hand you guys came protected you said one is immune i don't know what your fear is. all of the sorties who have come here have come on behalf of the company but we as part of the population nobody has taken into account our demands and needs so many many times the store cheese only come to intimidate the people who would reason so our intention is as part of the people of sun me who well to say that gets the company out. at nine in the morning i'll give a response and you will no response not a response no response right like remove the machinery that's the response all given the morning no no no yes that's what you want you to morrow move it sign it

6:36 pm
6:37 pm
your id and i want to know why you fell manc. generous living yes because you need to respect the law that you give me it's my job. and i was ok with that we will be unable to him again because you cannot have a feel. for who does the company have a policy of criminalization and persecution against community members who oppose the company and both of us who are on two occasions i remember also critical enough that one was a violent assault on two members of our security force who ended up in the hospital . the other was a case where private property was damaged close to the marlin mine our property. we
6:38 pm
don't focus on identity or background. we focus on whether a crime has been committed. some a bit of the purpose of another company files criminal charges or three people able to fight against the consequences they're facing at this moment. these people act because they have no alternative. this is called the resistance yes i think these people cannot do you choose to being criminals because their intentions are most honorable. if they hear these people that risk their personal safety for their family. if their community is a woman and ultimately their country to be able to people who are not in favor of it but that does not translate into social conflict free labor there are no social problems in some of the well they're not social problems one must see the glass half full and people are making an effort and enormous effort to be one theme in their rounds of the law to be nonviolent but to express that they don't want this
6:39 pm
it's pretty frustrating and i think for these communities that to face these overwhelming obstacles and challenging corporate interests one of the huge problems that we have in this country in terms of our own democracy is the role that corporate power and corporate money play. for would opinion whose only limited impact on posy for british do including the high concentration of economic riches in the. decision. a c.e.o. of a corporation is never rewarded for being good citizens or they're not rewarded even for treating their employees well they're rewarded for the bottom line the return to shareholders in two thousand the. goldcorp agreed to
6:40 pm
a right impact assessment of the mormon mind brought him on corpse new corporate human rights policy puts particular emphasis on recognizing the rights of indigenous people and this isn't just words the only lesson becomes ill everybody let's goldcorp on the back for having done the right thing and now let's just turn away from this or now let's just trust gold where they may have a report like on common ground. that that he's trying to portray goldcorp as they are trying to listen i get very upset at those who the mining industry and other global industries they do not want hard binding law so they come up with all of the self regulating codes volunteering tones of condos and i think they're fundamentally problematic that's all well and good let me graduate you but look at what it says so much of what. n.g.o.s and communities and individuals have been saying have been validated by your own process.
