=ourne#tote/andsoftema#aguatema/aB).This year much of my time and energy has been spent in Iatin /merica. C havetalked about events in various countries and !ays in !hich people are !akingup. With the closing of the year, lets look at some of these stories and seeho! they have developed."hevron and Bi# il1ig Dil (0hevron, hell, 1P, etc) have long been seen as an enemy of the/ma4on, as purveyors of contamination, poverty, and disease. (1log Post R1igDil, 6omania, and the /ma4on.) Dil is a tool for bringing a country intoeconomic submission, as C learned during my time as 0hief 8conomist at ama3or international consulting rm (Reconomic hit man.) 8cuador is not theonly country to have issues !ith 1ig Dil= dependence on fossil fuels has ledcountries all over the !orld to economic disaster and civil unrest.

There has often been violence bet!een the multinational companies and theindigenous people !ho have had their lives brutally impacted by the oilindustry. Just in the last fe! !eeks, a brave 8cuadorian huar leader, JosZCsidro Tendet4a /nt[n, !as found dead, tortured, and buried in suspiciouscircumstances mere days before he !as scheduled to travel to Iima, Peru forclimate talks. e had been a leader in the struggle to rein in mining and oilcompanies that threaten so much of his native 8cuador.8cuadorian President 6afael 0orrea has sometimes been praised andsometimes castigated for his stance on the /ma4on rainforest, most recentlye9ploiting the natural resources of the region by signing permits for oil drillingin one of the most bio diverse regions on the planet. Dn the other hand, hehas also made statements opposing 0hevron in the nearly t!enty year saga of

8cuadorian villagers against the oil giant over the clean"up of contaminatedareas.

Though the 8cuadorian villagers have !on against 0hevron !ith the help of alegal team lead by teven Eon4igerand Pablo Fa3ardo, the 1ig Dil company isrefusing to keep its promise to abide by the 3udgment of 8cuadors courts. Cntypical 0orporatocracy fashion, 0hevron is not under the regulation of a singlegovernment and therefore refuses to respect any. Cts e9ecutives are

threatening not only the lives of the indigenous people of the /ma4on, butpeople all over the !orld, from 0anada to 6omania to ;yanmar to Cndia. Dthergovernments in those regions continue to do business !ith 0hevron, despiteclear evidence that the environment and the people suXer greatly.onsanto and @=ree4-radeA/nother multinational corporation that is threatening the health of the landand the people of Iatin /merica and most of the rest of the !orld is ;onsanto.(1log Post R/ Iatin /merican /!akening and ;onsanto.) Cn Iatin /mericancountries, free"trade agreements have paved the !ay for the 0orporatocracyto gain control and have sent thousands of children across the border into the- in desperation.

Throughout history since the Cndustrial 6evolution, the move to take

agriculture a!ay from small farmers and give the po!er and prots to bigcompanies has resulted in poverty and destruction. #ot only do theseagreements render it impossible for small farmers to make a living from theirseeds and produce, but they have also introduced incredibly dangerouschemicals and pesticides into once"pristine environments.8arlier this year !e sa! some Iatin /merican governments seek to stand rmfor the interests of their people against ma3or privati4ation of agriculture. Theght is far from over. >roups of citi4ens have organi4ed to demand that theirrights, interests, and cultural values be protected by their leaders and that thecorporations abide by ne! standards and la!s.wakenin#o!ever, as po!erful as these big corporations are, the people !ho are!aking up are more po!erful. There is much that !e can learn from oursouthern neighbors in ho! to harness our po!er to make our leaders !ork forchange.

We can vote !ithour dollars by buying local and small"farm"gro!n produce and products

instead of shopping at big bo9 stores and retailers. Dur market po!er can bemade even stronger by sending emails to the 1ig 1usiness e9ecutives tellingthem !e !ill boycott their companies until they too support local businessesand farmers and provide their employees !ith higher !ages, health care, andretirement pensions.

=ourne#tote/andsoftema#aguatema/aB).This year much of my time and energy has been spent in Iatin /merica. C havetalked about events in various countries and !ays in !hich people are !akingup. With the closing of the year, lets look at some of these stories and seeho! they have developed."hevron and Bi# il1ig Dil (0hevron, hell, 1P, etc) have long been seen as an enemy of the/ma4on, as purveyors of contamination, poverty, and disease. (1log Post R1igDil, 6omania, and the /ma4on.) Dil is a tool for bringing a country intoeconomic submission, as C learned during my time as 0hief 8conomist at ama3or international consulting rm (Reconomic hit man.) 8cuador is not the

only country to have issues !ith 1ig Dil= dependence on fossil fuels has ledcountries all over the !orld to economic disaster and civil unrest.

There has often been violence bet!een the multinational companies and theindigenous people !ho have had their lives brutally impacted by the oilindustry. Just in the last fe! !eeks, a brave 8cuadorian huar leader, JosZCsidro Tendet4a /nt[n, !as found dead, tortured, and buried in suspiciouscircumstances mere days before he !as scheduled to travel to Iima, Peru forclimate talks. e had been a leader in the struggle to rein in mining and oilcompanies that threaten so much of his native 8cuador.8cuadorian President 6afael 0orrea has sometimes been praised andsometimes castigated for his stance on the /ma4on rainforest, most recentlye9ploiting the natural resources of the region by signing permits for oil drillingin one of the most bio diverse regions on the planet. Dn the other hand, hehas also made statements opposing 0hevron in the nearly t!enty year saga of8cuadorian villagers against the oil giant over the clean"up of contaminatedareas.

Though the 8cuadorian villagers have !on against 0hevron !ith the help of alegal team lead by teven Eon4igerand Pablo Fa3ardo, the 1ig Dil company isrefusing to keep its promise to abide by the 3udgment of 8cuadors courts. Cntypical 0orporatocracy fashion, 0hevron is not under the regulation of a singlegovernment and therefore refuses to respect any. Cts e9ecutives arethreatening not only the lives of the indigenous people of the /ma4on, butpeople all over the !orld, from 0anada to 6omania to ;yanmar to Cndia. Dther

governments in those regions continue to do business !ith 0hevron, despiteclear evidence that the environment and the people suXer greatly.onsanto and @=ree4-radeA/nother multinational corporation that is threatening the health of the landand the people of Iatin /merica and most of the rest of the !orld is ;onsanto.(1log Post R/ Iatin /merican /!akening and ;onsanto.)

die alle energiebronnen be4itten. Uodoende 4ullen 4e alles tegenhouden !athun positie in gevaar kan brengen. Dok !orden er uitvindingen gestolen en!orden uitvinders op een of andere manier het 4!i3gen opgelegd.1edreigingen 4i3n de minste manier van 4!i3gen opleggen./ls 4e dan eenmaal nieu!e uitvindingen hebben gestolen gebruiken 4e onsgeld om de uitvindingen te maken in door de staat gesponsorde geheimepro3ecten en vooral Franse, 1ritse en /merikaanse regeringen doen dit al meerdan %% 3aar. 8en uitvinding echter hebben 4e niet binnenkamers kunnenhouden. Cnternet. 8n 3uist de4e uitvinding heeft ervoor ge4orgd dat er veel,heel veel ge!eten is over geheime pro3ecten, uitvinders die het 4!i3gen!orden opgelegd en dat soort dingen meer. Cnternet ondermi3nt de grotebedri3ven die allemaal lid 4i3n van 1ilderberg. Ue beseXen het en er moet eenslot op internet]Dok universiteiten 4itten in het verdomhoek3e !aaruit 3e niet veel moetver!achten. >erespecteerde faculteiten publiceren allerlei on4in als het gaatover autos bi3voorbeeld.

Ck heb 4elfs de blau!drukken omdat er geen patent isaangevraagd en 4odoende alles vri3 beschikbaar is.
