well. it's technology innovation called in these developments from around russia we've got the future covered. feel when i see a ship with all the trees. it makes my heart break. because there's nothing left to take it they're going to come back far more.

corporations to love corporations told hate corporations have no feelings corporations don't care about you or me corporations will make her book profit. we're going to visit with her and we're going to keep trying to see if we could come to a mutual come some song a lot of things because it's important to us. began

to visit immediately we still didn't know what it was all about this is where gibson makes its finest the most expensive instruments are housed in this building you'll you'll love it clarence if you're a guitar guy it's pretty special we have a unique opportunity because we're making musical instruments. but it's a very aggressive goal trying to get a big corporation to change the way they look at this this practice. you know. it's never been a possibility in the history of the world that i know where the property really would grows is tribal so that someone could say well we didn't we can come up with

a management plan that could last generations to the future and if we have a say in anything else to get out of the city i just told you of the demise of five other species just in the last one hundred fifty years this one has a chance to. b b there are special. and then i came in one place and i think it was taylor and i looked there and i saw you know a wall full. spruce. you know i was really blown away at the role that our resources played in the music industry. is a very. it was i think. they have. reason to be concerned about good would you believe how beautiful and i don't want to be. you want to tell us

how to do things. bring us some kind of an economy of a throne replace what we want to do bring us in a calm economic plan and there are fifty ways everybody's got an issue in our three some green peace we're trying to save this forest the guitar guys they want music quality sitka spruce forever seal asco wants to be a profitable company where is the common ground the common ground is over the resource so we brought to the table the forest stewardship council the f.s.e. as a solution for the f.s.e. is basically that seal of approval for good forest management it's got the fs c. logo you're trying to impact this forest as little as possible but still be profitable and there's there's a hope that there's a greater cause there are you guys to set up in the fall of the future not only

that is via a good business and. i think you already know or think. it's all israelis for all your hospitality are there races or maybe we're going to go back home and think about our would take action is that i have to stress it does have to me. economically meaningful for us let's say he's an exorcism.

the music would coalition does exactly what we hoped it would do which was bring a sense that a. beauty. to the whole thing. my understanding is that c.e.o. asco like no way that that raw material was transformed in to something that has a history and a heritage and is part of culture. we use twitter blogs and. it's not very much. a fraction of

a percent. but we seem to be probably a lion's share of the prize and so we're helping maybe cast addition for that. you know we use what that would becomes for something that resonates in people's hearts about music about musical instruments and it becomes important. i think one of the kind of fundamental assumptions of this campaign was that if we get everybody in the room at the same time and you know metaphorically lock the doors there's

a lot of common interest if the campaign is going to succeed is still anyone's guess but there are. other politics plays in the tongass. we have a bill in congress tried to true. final settlement awarded. a. large. area that generated. legislation that. day on.

creating the distressed use the term. far was practices and therefore. practices. was in the position. nearly out of trees now. to. say well you should have cut all those trees or should the fast well maybe we would not have been able to advance many people's interests. as we have if we had done some of that. the chamber is coming to a halt if we don't receive the final settlement from congress.

and we have to we need help to do that and we can't just do it on our own. well. thank you all for coming in very very briefly a little bit about see alaska where they are where they said to spruce we'll give you an update on this u.s. because land bill they have approached you in the past and they will approach you again basically seeking congressional you know your your support i think that our coalition has probably moved from a posture oh i don't know if i trust these guys to. i think i do trust these guys at least that's our best bet to get where we're wanting to go if you agree with that from greenpeace point of views. from the greens who just want to do it have to make this is you know it's risky and again it is up to each individual corporation

depending on their personal opinions to decide what level to support this i know that they have been on a journey and they're in a place now that's light years away from where they were. last october f.s.e. forestry professionals went up to southeast alaska and unless i'm utterly blindsided i think we're still in the game from a business standpoint if they can pull this off they want to do it. i think the news and see alaska and the progression of this certification process. is encouraging is still a lot of work to be done each meeting it's great because we move a little bit closer to a resolution there's a time factor there that we it's an unknown but we hope we can get something done soon.

the auditors came in from the sea. and we spent weeks with them flying around everywhere to be able to see what is doable and what is not doable. they've given us a plymouth or a record and we're now in the process of evaluating. the biggest challenge that we face is the sustainability equation and because we don't have all of our land and we don't have all of our conveyances we're really in this kind of incomplete position. see alaska prepare the overview and it boils down to sort of one thing and that's clear cut and if there can be a meeting of the minds and a negotiation that allows the clear cuttings to be smaller this is going to be the crux of the matter if it were going to be no we're going to go in and just take it all down the way we've always done we don't really want to modify that plan that

might be. a deal buster. it's like you don't want the bullets to stop. because it's like. a backpack that. moment so it's almost like there's a baby the pill and then you just see all the big sounds like the base.

right on the scene. first right. and i think picture. on our reporters twitter. and instagram. be in the know. on the. big bucks but. we're going to go digital the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy which albums. will. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and our press cynical we've been hijacked why a handful of transnational corporations will profit by destroying what our founding

fathers once it's all just my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem to try and rational debate and a real discussion of critical issues facing death by job ready to join the movement then walk a little bit. on marinating in the financial world. to see these developments have not stop because it is very strongly taken from the demand to credit not going to get any economic benefit in life there are good and there are fucked. we were invited up there to attend the tree ceremony and of course it was an

opportunity for us all the time we gather and talk about the future of the project . because the clock is ticking. but she made it and i'm sure it is all right good deal is to be here yeah that's. the only way it was ever going to work is for everyone to try to get through all the. that every side says. seems like maybe between eighty and ninety or ninety five. yeah aristide was and when you say more so said. martin and taylor. get some thank you very much for coming here there are family all still there came a long ways to see how we do things we're going to fall a tree today. cause. forest

spirit. ah but it's all. listen i'm. turn your ears toward spirit. please. to. her to say thank you. please if it. could be pray over all those things are going to cut down some more of her career. than a prayer. it's

me you have no idea what you're doing at three. and you're thank you for those who use this. one with a preamble in their pain over on the street. down you now how can you. thank you so much all of you for coming. has been an awful lot of time too i did my time in the morning. because this is only so long has been a very delicate camp. if. you're not be sure or if you're truly grimaces. you know you can break. in any number of ways.

with the guitar god is care about and is at best see. certification. and that's what we haven't discussed. at all. before i don't know where the no we are. after this see alaska tree ceremony i think the relationship hit a speed bump. and greenpeace decided we were going to start opposing the seal outs land bill. we did this because of the only thing is the forest we have not been able to have a good conversation and i went there environmentalist's where we could really talk

about this. when their bill was being put before congress pretty much the entire environmental community signed a letter in opposition to that particular bill. and we're greenpeace and at the end of the day we we have to call him as we see him i'm just i'm just not happy with environmentalists they just don't understand i don't understand them i really don't i'm not going to say that you know some of them would rather drink poison than. get certified we talked to them and we've been forthright and all of our plans we've come to them and said this is what we're going to do or i hate to say it past we've said it. played cop

white man speak with forked tongue. from the news channel i just want to see how far the company well known for helping make music is striking a different chord with federal investigators agents strong several gibson guitar locations today as part of an illegal implored investigation the company is under investigation for allegedly importing protected wood from madagascar an island nation off the coast of africa and by mentalists a evony and rosewood trees have been over harvested and are now in danger federal agents john gibson's masterman road plant and its headquarters agents spent the entire day seizing guitars wood and other items even though charges have yet to be

. illegal logging is tied to some of humanity's worst places. the drug trade civil war slavery. it's an evil scourge and it finds its way into the international marketplace. the fact that it is gibson guitars a member of the coalition for also long of the irony was was biting. absolutely it was it was a shock. i think it shows that. many times the issues that you face. are pretty pretty

big. we are verifying you know the little fill legal origin of of all the with that we use. we have a law that protects endangered species and if it separates the legitimate operators from those that consciously or unconsciously were supporting illegal logging that's a good thing. if they did it's they you know you if you do the crime you gotta do the time. that makes the dynamic more difficult for the music would collection. now nobody is supposed to talk. we have not talked with anyone in the coalition and i probably won't until there's a resolution.

as far as. i have to tell you that my my sense is that there is confusion and disarray at this point. i. think it's terribly frustrating you know because i thought we had some momentum i thought we had some agreements we haven't moved any further with f.s.b. we've gone through the the plumber very work we still remain very interested in going green right now we're just focusing on our land legislation the guys who are supposed to be working on for

a certification have been detail to our legislation the land will be. the most preeminent issue for us and so we're not going to quit we will not stop until it is done. now it seems like yeah yeah yeah well just wait just wait it's like well what are we waiting for what are we waiting for these i think they're two separate issues you know can't you can't you do more than one thing at a time but there are it's really not my decision. i'm in a kind of an awkward point now where greenpeace has to move. so maybe you know we have to. formally. let the coalition go. but intercourse informally i think i can just pick up the phone and we can get the band back together.

i for six years ten years or so fig trees left for italy now with the land that they have. and. that's right around the corner. though i will say the guitars are simply going to change i'm going to make another little news flash for all you guitar players out there that beautiful two piece top that you have with really perfect grain perfect is perfect that. that's a bit of vanity that we're going to all have to shed here pretty soon. when we have to live for us we felt that life. and there were rules laws and the protocols that govern all these things.

you may know now how did we get from there or here. we need to go with inner selves. and come out as we were before. we need to gain their respect to be used for everything.

spits.

come. led the worst scum a society players play pulling out of. your life for the short playing every minute lead the law oh well. my old legs like the odds are slim to say the plane skids is the most elite club slayed sometimes from nothing to the leg this season and. the book just keep up the story

kids will be just if you see a stage eight look to be above the target audience selling lead . dramas the challenge be ignored. stories others look useless noticing. the food system changing the world lights never. so picture of today's leaves. from around the globe to the local. t.v. . good laboratory. was to build a new. version at least doesn't sound anything. to
