Chevron Sued for Billions After Poisoning Waterways in Ecuador; One of the Largest Environmental Damage Cases in History

Chevron Sued for Billions After Poisoning Waterways in Ecuador; One...

November 17th, 2009

Sydney Morning Herald:

Tens of thousands of Amazonians are suing Chevron, the American oil company, for poisoning their waterways in what is billed as one of the biggest environmental cases in history.

The Ecuadorean claimants said the company illegally dumped toxic waste from its oil production, which filtered into the lakes used by thousands of people for washing and drinking.

The result, they claimed, was one of the worst environmental disasters in history, which led to a public health crisis with rising levels of cancer, birth defects and miscarriages.

Some 30,000 Amazonians are behind a case to be heard by an Ecuadorean judge. Experts said the company might have to pay damages of up to $US27 billion ($29 billion).

The company said there was no proof that any illnesses were caused by its operations. It said the responsibility for cleaning the area lay with the Ecuadorean government and Petroecuador, the state oil company.

This story is a CLASSIC EXAMPLE of what the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TRADE AGREEMENT THAT IS SECRET) will allow everywhere in the world.  THE TPP Trade Agreement allows GIANT CORPORATIONS such as the Rockefeller owned CHEVRON - for example - to rape/pillage and destroy the environment of any country it chooses and leave it as an environmental disaster area unable to support life for its original inhabitants for decades and maybe centuries.
