Panama Papers: A vast and wide ranging effort to hide money using a latice-work of off-shore bank accounts has been uncovered by way of a leak to German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung of nearly 40 years of data from Mossack Fonseca, a global law firm based in Panama. Within the data is news of the involvement […]
The Hague, who’s famed tribunal is the go-to place for international criminal business disputes, and in 2013 issued a stinging ruling that Chevron (as Texaco) had already settled its environmental obligations to Ecuador, reads (as my traffic report shows) Zennie62.com content related to the ‘Chevron Ecuador matter.” In this case, someone at The Hague, just […]
Davos, Switzerland – The mock (well, let’s call it fake) award given to Chevron Corporation for its alleged pollution in Ecuador failed to mention some important information about the group behind The Public Eye Award. Namely, that the sponsors of the mock award, www.amazonwatch.org, were part of the plaintiff’s lawsuit against Chevron in the Lago […]
Steven Donziger, the lead plaintiff lawyer in the long-running Chevron Ecuador case, is, once again, the focus of a document painting him in terms far less than flattering. In this case, the “document” is really a new book called Law Of The Jungle, written by Paul M. Barrett, and to be released September 23rd. Mr. […]
MCSquared and Fitzgibbon Media are about to become household names in the World that is the long-running Chevron Ecuador lawsuit battle. According to The Hill, the two firms received $6.4 million for the purpose of launching a multifaceted reputation management campaign. The entire taking off of the veil behind this effort was due to pressure […]
Rafael Correa orchestrated the jailing of Ecuadorian Assemblyman Cléver Jiménez, and for libel and slander and is having him investigated for the alleged “intercepting of confidential government documents” associated with Ecuador’s lawsuit against Chevron. If you want a window into what could have happened to an Ecuador judge if that person ruled against Ecuador and […]
Atossa Soltani, of Amazon Watch, and its the founder and executive director, has reportedly elected to avoid testifying on behalf of RICO defendant Steven Donziger in the Chevron Ecuador fraud trial, this blogger learned today. Chevron is suing Steven Donziger in the ongoing Chevron Ecuador controversy for alleged violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt […]
Ecuador President Rafael Correa, in following through on a promise he made four years ago to drill in the United Nations-protected Yasuni National Park, has upset many in Ecuador, and revealed the lawsuit against Chevron to be what this blogger has long said it was: a sham. President Correa proved this weekend, that his main […]
Ecuador’s never good at listening, preferring to march against the World, and to the beat of its own, corrupt, legal drum. That habit caught up to the country in the Chevron Ecuador lawsuit, where an international arbitration tribunal at The Hague issued an award Thursday that went against the country. Basically, the Permanent Court of […]
Before you read the rest of the news, look at this video: Now, here’s the latest: Ecuador Judge Alberto Guerra has stepped forward to admit that he was paid off by lawyers suing Chevron and led by New York Lawyer Steven Donziger. Judge Alberto Guerra now becomes the third judge – yes, THIRD JUDGE – […]
“Chevron Ecuador Burford Capital Accuses Steven Donziger Of Fraud,” is a blockbuster story. The latest news in the lawsuit pitting plaintiff’s lead by New York Lawyer Steven Donziger (who claims to represent Ecuador’s indigenous people) against American oil company Chevron. Burford Capital is one of the investors in the lawsuit that Ecuador and American lawyers […]
A huge development: Fernando Reyes, a petroleum engineer who was part of Steve Donziger’s team working on the fraudulent lawsuit against Chevron and stemming from the American Oil Company’s work in Ecuador up to 1992, has turned against his team and admitted what this blogger has known for years: that the lawsuit was based on […]
Chevron Corporation attempted to have the U.S. Supreme Court take on the case of Ecuador plaintiff’s fraudulent lawsuit against the American Oil Company – one that has resulted in a corrupt Ecuador court handing down a judgement of now $19 billion against the San Ramon-based firm for alleged environmental damage that was in point of […]
Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan, who was the first legal overseer to recognize that the Steven Donziger-led lawsuit against Chevron and that caused the corrupt Ecuador court to issue an $18 billion damage claim that was recently raised to $19 billion, has allowed Chevron’s pursuit of a fraud claim to move forward. In order to avoid […]
More Chevron Ecuador news. About two years ago, an associate with Amazon Watch I will not name tried to bully Kevin Skaggs and Vlae Kershner of SFGate.com, the website of The San Francisco Chronicle, into making me alter a blog post where I asserted that Ecuador was a party to the lawsuit against Chevron. That […]
The Chevron Ecuador case contains thousands of pages of documents, many online for anyone who cares to research. One document contains the emails and papers of Chevron Ecuador lead plaintiff lawyer Steven Donziger. This blogger found a great October 2005 document that details the public relations plan of attack against Chevron – one that Donziger […]
Chevron Ecuador: the latest news has the U.S. Chamber of Commerce blasting Steve Donziger and the so-called Amazon Defense Coalition for what many are starting to call “tort tourism,” or the practice of American lawyers traveling the World in search of situations in other countries where they think they can land a big lawsuit payday. […]
More Chevron Ecuador news: the U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk and his staff have released the report called “Sixth Report to the Congress on the Operation of the Andean Trade Preference Act as Amended June 30, 2012.” Is a document that has been the source of a pack of lies told by the Amazon Defense […]
Dr. Ann Maest, a managing scientist at Straus Consulting and aide to Steve Donziger, lead plaintiff’s lawyer in the Chevron Ecuador case, is the focus of the most recent attempt to spin the fraudulent lawsuit against Chevron in Ecuador in a way that would gain millions for the plaintiffs lawyers and associates – and Dr. […]
The latest Chevron Ecuador news is that Chevron fired its $600,000 lobbyist Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide, after it was revealed that Felipe Benitez, a relatively new Ogilvy Account Director, gave a presentation to Amazon Watch (the advocacy group that claims to be for the protection of the Amazon, but really is more of an advocacy […]
The San Francisco Chronicle has the appearance of operating in a way that’s purely unethical. First, they work to eliminate the one person who blogged on Chevron’s side in the Chevron Ecuador case, but then allow several bloggers to create news against Chevron in the case and while there’s an obvious connection between one of […]
The “40 Chevron Shareholders” who are asking for a settlement in the Chevron – Ecuador case are doing so only out of greed; such a deal would make some of them rich, and certainly one of their key associates. Amazon Watch and the Rainforest Action Network have taken to blogs and press releases, calling for […]
Steve Donziger, the lead plaintiff lawyer in a fraudulent lawsuit pitting Chevron against Ecuador, managed to really piss off U.S. Southern District Of New York Judge Lewis Kaplan on April 26, 2011. That action, arguably, led to this week’s news that the same Kaplan upheld Chevron’s RICO lawsuit against Donziger, and also came very close […]
Chevron won a battle in the issue of the fraudulent lawsuit stemming from it’s 20 year old departure from oil production in Ecuador. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan granted an order to reject plaintiff’s request to have the American Oil company pay a $21.8 million fine for “lost time following a previous injunction […]
Nicolas Zambrano, the judge that awarded his own country fraudulently-obtained victory in the long-standing lawsuit against Chevron, was dismissed on Wednesday for the freeing of Cristian Suquisupa. What Zambrano did was to reportedly find technicalities in Cristian Suquisupa’s documents that allowed him to go free. From the read of the news, and considering Ecuador’s corrupt […]
For those who romanticized Ecuador as a fair, democratic country with solid “freedom of the press” laws, much like America, it’s time to wake up. As I have explained in blog posts and video like this one… Ecuador is a corrupt country, where press freedom is nothing more than fantasy. See these excerpts from both […]
Talk about being party to an extortion. This blogger saw a Chevron Ecuador-related post on Kerry Kennedy and thought “Man, never saw her name involved in all this much until recently.” Now, I know why. According to The New York Post, the environmental ambulance-chasing, ceviche-eating-while-planning-fraud-on-video, self-described “lawyer for the plaintiffs” Steven Donziger not only gave […]
Since 2008, this blogger has said that the Ecuador land damage that Chevron was blamed for was really the fault of the state-run oil company called Petroecuador, and because Chevron has not operated in the country since 1992, and over that time Petroecuador and other oil companies were and were using those oil lands that […]
There are calls in some media areas and by some oil industry analysts for Chevron to consider a payment settlement in the Ecuador case, and because the U.S. Supreme Court elected to hear the Shell Oil Nigeria Human Rights case. This is a plea from Oppenheimer analyst Fadel Gheit, as reported in Platts. But it’s […]
All this blogger can say is “It’s about time” someone recognized just how bass-ackward corrupt the Government of Ecuador is and the efforts it has taken to mask the truth of how it treats its own people. Using American Business to advance the agenda of Ecuador’s rich has been a constant objective and the main […]
