12:31 am
you know that the miners eat thanks to our gold medals but in ways we either thanks to or lent me most would depend on corn beans and one other earth gives us. a market share so you and i think that i am one of the people affected by the mining company and the truth is where witnesses to what has been happening most of our wells and springs have dried out because of the drilling and the time know what if we wanted it them be and also because they use the water to wash the goal it's not all. up.
12:32 am

12:34 am
if you destroy nature you basically destroy a person's soul three and what follows if you at the end of the day is that the person's life is destroyed and a little someone we're very close to nature and means a great deal to us which we are parts of the whole of us some of them told. of the conflict unfolding in the highlands started when the man tiny a mining company attempted to transport an enormous metal cylinder to san marcos he had the pan-american highway. like that i think that i think. is disentangled in a sneeze or some of the scenes from what happened yesterday in the west of the country in the bid to get up when it's not one thousand police officers and three hundred members of the army confronted hundreds of farmers from various villages in the region that is this interim innocent of the armed internal conflict in the one nine hundred eighty s. going to the city. i
12:35 am
mean central america. has going through real or more as kids with them over the worst of the. hundreds of thousands of people were murdered and disappeared and million of them were displaced from their homes where they stand up against the modern army one hundred thousand died in one thousand nine hundred two the year that general rios montt mount a scorched earth policy and really devastated hundreds of my and villages is the most in that we are in a wall that we have been saying that. is marvelous that odds we need to change. and the chains consists precisely all three one imposing your will over us reagan was praising the worst killer as it is the most
12:36 am
a few suv terms a real smart real smart and close ties to the united states who gave in to fight against the guerrillas and the wounds that were inflicted by that conflict to continue to fester clearly and that has contributed to the current situation the repression of any type of economic change really created the kind of poison politics that they have and this links to the life story because our bite of it is dealt with these are you can't say they're responsible for the rios montt slaughter it with they're benefiting from the structures that were left in place after those many years of servitor ian repression. by. having to run the municipality of something else or con here in the. event which is. sort of on top of the whole cork minute so we're going to follow
12:37 am
the road down by the mine visited with. this. idea dora. certainly has legitimacy. well first of all in defense of her rights what she is defending is her land she has refused to sell her plot of land to court because they were hoping to expand their mind through her part of. a long if you've been with theodora about thirty five years now of marriage yes. no i didn't you work in the mine didn't they offer you a job no no no. no because we didn't want to have anything to do with the miners on the side of these people are destroying everyone's health around here. i am
12:38 am
involved in the resistance so is my husband she says it's great that to a fight but how do we get them to leave haiti too much i ask god for them to leave keep coming i want us to be left in peace you know that we were at it with my granddaughter is used to live with us last week was. the one hand i cry when i think about her future. when what will happen to her if they kill me. yes the sun these are the company's power lines when i saw that they had put these poles on my land i was very angry because i didn't give them permission and i am therefore. we have a custom you say where you say and you keep your work straight but here they took advantage. i didn't one mining i didn't run anything. what i
12:39 am
wanted was for them to take out the poles nothing more. we just took a wire and threw it over the cable to cut off the power this was the car and after we cut off their tricity the company's hand the police. as opposed to say a t.v. show like this we're here to learn about guatemala suppose this becomes a trip where we're learning actually about no kid in the united states historically and on and on what basis today these are parts of our role they decided before the destruction that they would kill to day so they basically closed off a valve. housing for the mine workers some of the prices there are some of the take the high that's going over there and then there's the whole complicated processing
12:40 am
plant holds here it's a very low concentration you know you're probably holding gold and you pick up this earth right here this is the cheapest form of coal mining the most destructive because you're getting one gram of cool for one ton some of the estimates are one gram of coal for seven tons and because of the cost to build internationally because of the low possibility of aeration it's worth their while to just clear cut the whole region down to live an endless mine and say there's no doubt that the gold piece is far as the eye can see. to the big gold guns are teaming up gold corpus announced an eight point six billion dollar us friendly takeover of glamorous gold it will be the lowest cost fastest growing on head score more any company in the world the goldcorp glamorous combination would pump out about three million ounces of gold a year making it the fifth biggest producer in the world and in terms of market cap it would rank number three we just reported earnings they were up seventy two percent year on year while we saw the gold price go up thirty percent so very
12:41 am
pleased with that exposure that we provide to gold you have a prediction of where gold goes from here for the next let's say here i would say it could certainly get to two thousand dollars thousand dollars an ounce and there are four hundred ounces in these gold bars i'm just going to tell that they're probably you know what it's almost to having to tell us how much is this what about thirty five. it's still have very. much if your advice is centered around the negative aspects of american culture example mindful eating social eating of voiding of snacks how much of an influence do you think this american culture has on the rest of the incredible. six to do two things. in the world this new. the food. all the countries worldwide.
12:42 am
one of the new cultural phenomena why should be. the face. of pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm sure. approximately sixteen percent of your employees came from illegal fishing in. the european union is ironically taking fish from some of the poorest nations on earth so this is
12:43 am
a very serious and very urgent problem that needs immediate international action. give loans to enter our territorial waters they fish they load this fish into the ships and leave for. illegal fishing just taking the bread. out of our mouths. and with an oath on their lips and muscles on the butt men with greed in our hearts ready to break them backs to sell their very souls foothold here let's.
12:44 am
say i love. the school where the go price of gold today is that fifteen hundred eighty dollars by going for some twenty bucks now i don't know as a status i never understood gold quite frankly it's this item it isn't all that useful but it's valuable because people assign it a value why is the price of gold so high. demand global demand do you think oldest money. know at the end of the day why gold you know it's gold because it's gold because it's gold because it's gold you can't look into this deeply or the whole thing just called our gold and set a good connection to the gold teeth why should we be mining gold at all. we already have huge amounts of mind to gold in the world the value of the only place we have . of the water that we need to survive is not compared to. gold
12:45 am
we're not going to eat gold we're not going to bait. we're not going to drink. you offered me the choice i'm looking at some sixty seven foot. of gold i'm looking at it all day and the alternative that was i have all the farmland of the country for a quick profit or to get a piece of mess. all to stick and of walt so we can say we own it. we're destroying the very future that we want to that we're trying to secure all the litany of arms and violations to get this gold out of the ground and then you take this boat and you take it home to your country and you bury it under the ground. and the credibility hundred made the same back home and almost nobody came in the event that doesn't californian australian on the way back. i know it go destin and so.
12:46 am
on behalf of montana explorer dora and gold court system we are committed to being in san miguel issue. with a vision here a long term vision of moving people we feel part of this beautiful mean this appellate we feel like part of the family of san miguel ishtar cried today that has been confirmed plenty of the moment but we're planning right now on exploiting this area. and we're going to transport minerals on the roads for every machinery over here in the malls we have opinions to expanse almost in every direction. so tolls for there won't be any problem with that for them honest. on the matter no say oh. it's first who didn't know if it was a gold mining company or a mine we didn't know nobody knew
12:47 am
a thing is there are the workers says they're growing or kids a flower a company. that's what we understood to be on the surface. they were looking for me and when they found me that they asked me to sell my land here at least i said no see i can never get you know nice because i didn't want to sell no and i was not thinking of selling my yes downtown console when they started working on the road it appeared to me to go and have a look at my land. again when they go back in that other machines were working on my land they were making a highway. as if the property was theirs yes. since you. if if you all do a good job. if montana leaves if you get them out.
12:48 am
they don't create jobs i mean it creates jobs. with the brain is when you only want to chase away the money. and we're the bastards no it doesn't bother me no no no no way no my support isn't for the company my support is for my life. so they make good money. well i want to make money to support my life. you see because eleven i think that there are two groups if there is one group that says i'm a precise lee and openly no to mining. there is another group that says yes the mine is good there's a lot of divisions in their own communities because some people have jobs in the mind etc having said all that the people in san diego and cells are trying to
12:49 am
assist by starting to carry out their own posts of patients indigenous peoples. engaged in their own processes of expressing their views about these projects and they call these processes consult us that one of food good food consultations and suppose for uniformly that view has been in opposition to development projects like mines on their territory and the communities aren't saying the owners of the goldcorp or mean people evil devils are just saying we don't want your companies here. this you got to be one hundred get sellers that come from the mine scene where the fifty cents stays in san miguel well if you read fifty cents will stop in the hands of the central government in a way they neuer and ninety nine is for them. one hundred people in the us you know
12:50 am
this kind of business is totally unfair for the community but it's it's a robbery practically. i mean the mining company says it has generated a lot of development in san macau. is this the truth is that the only development that they have created is an increase in violence that you can think of there are more then forty eight bars and time again prostitution here in san miguel there is everything that is in the game so we haven't seen any development no real change that the mind has brought to this town. and this is the big buildings in the communities the profitable projects and whatever else could be done with so much money so if these things don't really exist it's a lie when they say there's a big change it doesn't exist there's nothing really. to.
12:51 am
know. the economic models that we were bringing them to countries like bottom all were really about making rich people richer. you know to take a step back and look seductive demichelis and she should be employed such a perfectly awful piece you start with this community that's a military tribunal because people have been living in this valley for at least one thousand years sort of have this project dumped on top of their heads like the classics and you know imposition of a so-called development project. selling the development projects that really. usually indebted countries made profits for world bank didn't really deliver a lot for the for the poor who maintain those burdens of the world bank was aware
12:52 am
of the violence being used to displace these people. who simply cannot take a picture of. this. sort of bidding to take the pics if they're good to play a forest of what is good is a similar process to what happened with the gold mining story there was a complete lack of consultation with the communities they were given no option as to whether they would need to move or not the whole serious of structural rules that were imposed on guatemala and many other countries through the international monetary fund in the world bank with leadership from the united states a pattern throughout. of large scale development projects mining hydroelectric dams and so forth within indigenous territories but without in many cases even minimal consultation what clearly what i'm all is and is in
12:53 am
a desperate economic situation absolutely right what we're wrong to do is say there for any kind of economic development from the outside is going to be a benefit their only purpose is to extract as much money as possible to feed into the global financial system. with lira part of the geo political economic system that's extremely exploitative i would argue that the legacy of money it's it's precisely that that it has some short term economic benefit both most of those economic benefits accruing to investors and has a long term ecological consequence that is very negative for the for the ongoing development prospects of the region. it wouldn't surprise me at all if many of you directly or indirectly are invested in gold poured into a pension fund through a trust fund through an endowment through
12:54 am
a little bit of savings you have you're probably investing goldcorp and dozens of mining companies that are operating around the world contributing to harms to one degree or another. what you owe me. since i came to live here when i crossed the wooden breach in my car when to drink water and what happened. so they don't have water. that. there was no water. but they would let me know my was a mile in mine has used millions and millions of liters of water water that no longer flows now that you have the mines are blowing through the amount of water that one family uses in twenty years or more every hour.
12:55 am
there is a clash of cultures in the way that the govt or uses water is just another resource . in its extraction process and to the millions who really were guarded essential to life itself the water is completely. contaminated it's no longer fit for humans because again i can't they say there is no pollution so where does the poison go when they're done with it no longer presses the gold where does it go i mean and if you are saying it's not contaminated then let's go to the tailing down and you have a drink drink and then. eat didio the government isn't supposed to grant license without the community's consent. but that's exactly what they've done in san miguel here.
12:56 am
that. is before we were not away. here but now the people are awake. know. the company got us one by one that's how people sold their lands to the company wouldn't have been able to come in. where starting to figure out what's going on in the nexus so. it was a little. known wasn't. she good leverage surely to mccurry was to build the leads most sophisticated robot which will unfortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tim's mission to teach music creation why it should care
12:57 am
about humans in the world this is why you should care only on the dog. it was a. very hard to take a. look here a cat that had sex would that hurt their feelings. if. if. a.
12:58 am
i know c.n.n. the m.s.m. b.c. fox news have taken some not slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's close and for the truth from the might think. it's because one whole attention and the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on here. at our teenagers we have a different brain. because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not how. i feel about.
12:59 am
you guys stick to the jokes i will handle them in the sense that i'm.
