POPSEcuador vs. Chevron: Do the Videos Implicate the Judge? Typical, under-handed attempt to disqualify anyone who stats the obvious against the accused. Evidence of Chevron is rife throughout this entire region changing judges will not change that fact. "This is a total trap on the part of Chevron," said Judge Juan Nuñez

POPSMore Dirty Deeds or Life Is Cheap As the #1 consumers of petroleum on the planet, we kinda owe it to our fellow beings to give these oil companies a conscience and force them to act in accordance with it. And, by the way, Chevron is not the only miscreant. All those Big Boys are dirty.

POPSFake It! Big Oil asnd Big Coal's New Mantras If you can't find non-employees who support your issues, then have your employees "pose" as real people - tsk, tsk. I'd get real excited, except most politicla parties in US and elsewhere in the world have been telling employees to line up at rallies and paradesand act as if they are just "concerned citizens" forever. Tea Party right-wing Republicans have been doing the same thing in the non-debate about healthcare. I guess they all think we are just stupid - grin - now where did they get that idea?

POPSProtesters Descend on Chevron for Climate Justice
“Chevron has the opportunity to do the right thing,” said Mayor of Richmond, Gayle McLaughlin. “They just need to agree to capping the crude at the level they currently refine. We want them to put Richmond’s residents to work modernizing and replacing the 80 year old boilers, which sadly they chose to remove from the project several months ago. ” “We want Chevron to build a cleaner and safer refinery,” said Ana Orozco of Communities for A Better Environment. ”We want the union jobs to continue to build a refinery that is cleaner and safer for our community. Our community has been put at risk for too long.” Of course Chevron would greet the peaceful protesters with a heavy police presence. Chevron has the mindset that they have the power to do anything they want without regard to how they poison people and the environment. They are championed by governments around the world who value money over the conditions of people’s lives. Chevron: agent of Corprafascism.

POPSTrue cost of chevron Another evil, ugly-American corporation. There is a series of photos at the site depicting what these unconscionable corporate zombies are doing to people around the world all in the name of profit.

It only encourages them to continue ruining people’s lives everywhere.

POPSScore one for the little guy: Chevron loses court ruling More: For the people of Richmond, the Chevron plant has been both a provider of economic stimulus and a bringer of pain over the years. While the refinery is undoubtedly the city's largest employer, tax contributor and corporate resident, the risk to the respiratory health and safety of citizens is as ever-present as the waterfront refinery. In neighborhoods near the plant, children suffer from disproportionately higher rates of asthma. One advocacy group reported that asthma rates in the industrial belt of Contra Costa and Solano counties are among the highest in the state. Add that physical discomfort to the prospect of sirens warning of a chemical leak, like the one that kept people shuttered behind their doors in August 2003, and it's pretty clear that locals have good reason to be concerned - and suspicious.

POPSOil and Indians Don't Mix 
Wally Hickel, the former Governor of Alaska, dismissed my suggestion that the Chugach deserved a bit more respect (and cash) for their property. "Land ownership comes in two ways, Mr. Palast." explained the governor and pipeline magnate, "Purchase or conquest. The fact that your granddaddy chased a caribou across the land doesn't make it yours." The Chugach had lived there for 3,000 years. I asked Chevron about the wave of poisonings and deaths. According to an independent report, 1,401 deaths, mostly of children, mostly from cancers, can be traced to Chevron's toxic dumping. Chevron's lawyer told me, "And it's the only case of cancer in the world? How many cases of children with cancer do you have in the States? ... They have to prove that it is our crude," which, he noted with glee, "is absolutely impossible." Big Oil treats indigenous blood like a cheap gasoline additive. That's why the Peruvians are up in arms. The Cofan of Ecuador, unlike their brothers in Peru,

POPSChevron, Shell and the True Cost of Oil In 1998, I traveled to the Niger Delta with journalist Jeremy Scahill. A Chevron executive there told us that Chevron flew troops from Nigeria’s notorious mobile police, the “kill ‘n’ go,” in a Chevron company helicopter to an oil barge that had been occupied by nonviolent protesters.

POPS The Bush Six to Be Indicted From the article: The six defendants—in addition to Gonzales, Federal Appeals Court Judge and former Assistant Attorney General Jay Bybee, University of California law professor and former Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Yoo, former Defense Department general counsel and current Chevron lawyer William J. Haynes II, Vice President Cheney’s former chief of staff David Addington, and former Undersecretary of Defense Douglas J. Feith—are accused of having given the green light to the torture and mistreatment of prisoners held in U.S. detention in “the war on terror.” The case arises in the context of a pending proceeding before the court involving terrorism charges against five Spaniards formerly held at Guantánamo.

POPSChevron: Will You Join Us? Don’t Be Stupid
It’s time to recognize Chevron for the hypocritical, phony, band-wagon-jumping, contemptible, lying, bastards they are. The con game they are manufacturing against America’s common sense to make us believe they care about what is happening to the environment and us while providing a lifeline for the oppressive and murderous Burmese regime is disgraceful. http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/20071002_chevrons_pipeline_is_the_burmese_regimes_lifeline/ They orchestrated a coup against the US House of Rep last year in the wake of the juntas crackdown on it’s citizens by arguing that if they didn’t maintain access to Burma’s rich gas fields then someone else will. And our fool reps, with dollar signs in their eyes instead of compassion in their hearts, bought it. This has only emboldened Chevron to pull that same wool over the publics eyes so they can stay in a business that enslaves indigents and props up a Fascist government all in the name of profit. Please, don't support the

POPSFrom GM to Chevron to oblivion Can we perceive the ugly face of monopoly in this small example? Do we have the power to defend small business from influence of corporations? Can it be the main cause of today's crisis? Unlimited greed is simply cannot result in any other outcome.
