The pollution damage of apocalyptic proportions
perpetrated by Texaco in Ecuador during 26 long years
(1964-1990) of oil drilling in the country's Amazon
region is truly a "barbarity".
World leading experts have concluded that the
ecological damage to Ecuador's 1.24 million acres of
previously rich fertile land is more than a 100 times
larger than the infamous Exxon Valdez sea oil spill of
1989.
The four leading groups of Indigenous peoples in
Ecuador alluded that no amount of monies (they sued
for 5 Billions) will ever be sufficient to clean the
ravages caused during 26 years of malign neglect
perpetrated by Exxon against the ecosystem of the
region.
While law suits play out in courts, there is no Coast
Guard, no International private or public entity to
help clean up the mess made by profit driven/power
hungry Texaco and its Ecuadorian & international
puppets and marionettes whose foreign bank accounts
get fatter as the years go by.
Texaco
claims they "spent" 42
millions cleaning up the
tons of toxic materials, hundreds thousands of dead
animal fluids and deforestation of Earth's most
perfect and unique Eco-system, claim aside, the
uglyness is obvoious to the naked eye.
Would Texaco, like Exxon get away with polluting this
earth and receive only a slap-in the wrist?
Would this profit hungry Goliath dispatch its
political hired hands and Washingtonian insiders to
debunk and threaten David-like Correa?
It's a well known fact that zillions of profits are in
Texaco's purse, and those who control the purse, call
the shots...
Will
Correa's know-how, pride & shame
vs. corruption
triumph?
Would misinformed and servile elected politicians echo
Texaco's "Cinderfella, Cinderfella"?
We'll have to wait and see, in the meantime, we root
for the underdog!
