Steven Donziger Disbarred But Media Lies About Chevron Ecuador Continue And Cover For Petroecuador

Steven Donziger Disbarred But Media Lies About Chevron Ecuador Continue And Cover For Petroecuador - Video

Steven Donziger Disbarred But Media Lies About Chevron Ecuador Continue And Cover For Petroecuador Trial lawyer Steven Donziger was disbarred, and that is really too sad for him, but the fact is, Donziger used methods to get his way in Ecuador that, by his own admission, would have gotten him disbarred in America. Let's see, Steven Donziger admitted to bribing judges, paying protestors, and writing the judgment that led to the original $19 billion award order from Ecuador's court. To do that, Donziger became pals with then-Ecuador President Rafael Correa, and looked the other way as PetroEcuador, the state-run oil production company, continued on an activity of polluting the Amazon using substandard oil production methods. And in 2011 PetroEcuador was the culprit behind one of the largest oil spills in history. Yet, PetroEcuador and Ecuador told the media it was Chevron's fault. And the media bought it. And while Correa claimed to be an environmentalist, he was working to sell oil drilling rights in the Amazon to Chinese companies. The fact is that Chevron was never in Ecuador and PetroEcuador has been allowed to get away with polluting the Amazon for years while so-called enviromentalists looked the other way, or tried to profit from the situation. The latter is what Donziger tried to do, and the U.S. Courts got him. Stay tuned.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
