Chevron Corp. States More Facts Of The Matter – Video !!!

by Lord Burghley

More tomfoolery out of Ecuador. This would be funny if the stakes were not so high for Chevron Corporation.

The “independent expert” is neither independent nor an expert.

A hydrocarbon “expert” with no knowledge of hydrocarbon impact on the environment.

Does this really surprise anyone?

The rule of law in third-world countries like Ecuador is very thin on the ground indeed. So it is no surprise that “laws” and “regulations” that were in force yesterday can be changed at will to suit the particular needs (read extorting money from an American oil corporation) of today.

Let’s keep in mind the words Teddy Roosevelt spoke while President when trying to deal with another third-world country in the region; “It is easier to nail jelly to the wall then to negotiate with those people.”

Truer words were never spoken.

The court appointed expert, Richard Cabrera, has suggested a wholly illegitimate and unsubstantiated damage and penalty recommendation against Chevron in excess of $27 billion. Mr. Cabrera was not only paid solely by the plaintiffs, but he openly relied on them to staff his effort while seeking to obstruct Chevron’s representatives from even observing his work. Major portions of his submissions to the court are copied from the plaintiffs own submissions, if not written by them directly. His work product is devoid of scientific content, lacks even the most basic evidentiary support, and assesses monetary relief for alleged environmental damage and health claims he has never even bothered to investigate, inspect or verify.
