the move. to the it can seem compensate oh boy tonight. people know who we can. go into the. mood to move on which i did on the show got to move this because of a mostly an interim move to ensure we still certainly must. not so much of it was on my hands it was a tons of a few puffs of money as she. says

indians have not always spoken with a single voice. andres wendel promised the money and a better life some in the indigenous community the elders in general refused all mining from the start but others were tempted by rentals little gifts. to. a consultation meeting is organized by the tribes gather at the traditional house of the luca their meeting place. and. worry because he goes complained they are making a manifesto for the colombian state to reaffirm their resistance to mining. so they are not now and i think it could affect all payment and it had to get that

private and i got mine i think at the time he. came out of that my god what did that come of a little bit of good advice that i would have a headache i'm not gonna eat here but i don't. feel good but i could make it if i go and then you know i think yeah my looking at it. but everybody will know you. as is their mother. almost as good as you as a. lawyer. i think a little more going to new york and bigger but oprah where in the goodness of your . home all of this you want to move the i don't want this you. know i mean that young but i'm hardly been that motivated going to give you more look at the. life. that they want to. create gulf separates the

world views of the indians and miners feel. sun seek to protect their intentional property and. others think only of extracting the gold in indian soil and disappear tensional profits. yeah. we were talking with jeremy and he was updating us on some of the stuff that was going on with the arbitration and that you know they were probably acting in bad faith both with my opinion both with the 1st nations people and especially with the company on the pretext. of you know the environment so i don't know if you have any anything extra you know we can tell them to let our partners know down there.

well i mean my opinion is that as you know and history is true. to its fire we went and used. to actually. this may be. why all. the environmental. chemicals are. just rock out there so all your stories about holding out for. why this is nothing to do with the environment and the circumstances whatsoever this is about power and land today when i met with the so-called. charge. to that. this is we can do what we want. solicited. she said yes she did but we decided to park on there at your last.

for years. but only in 5 of the last weeks have been like a roller coaster in colombia i mean these claim. no one i wanted to talk to you about the one. person go out of ignoring case yes 16000000000 us i would say 20 percent of colombia's national public budget it was quite surprising because public authorities were saying that the agreements negotiated were positive for the corn 3 and that foreign investors would never start a claim in the corn 3 in these very moment that is what happened then why is that colombian law is not good enough for these foreign investors it is not the case that call on the us of a fate our ships were trying to solve our problems we're trying to become a more stable country and we have the means to do it but with these type of cases

all our efforts to reach peace are put into question it's not the 1st country. to be surprised by foreign investor claims these treaties are like a ticking time bomb for taxpayers sooner or later they so there's not a lot of public discussion of these cases and no i don't like weiss. i call them in the newspaper and i try to open their base but the only thing i got from them was. for money and ignorance that's because it's embarrassing to the trade department to see these treaties that they negotiated being used against the country if you're a foreign investor and you want to leverage against the government of course you would have an interest in many cases to keep it all confidential because if you keep it confidential and the government keeps a confidential then they can do deals.

in mexico. when they go see all 6 say. you look sick in new mexico large i may do so why don't you see until the deal lets you know crazy divinely kid because it's us you know i think you dislike democrats a 50 year old. looks don't you see 26 next that dog isn't good doctors are not so i. surely don't is that this only. seems wrong. just don't. get to see. this day absent. any gains from. the trail.

when some find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. you know world big part of. lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was most of my family were unemployed working class there wasn't it
