February 8,1972 and Texaco Has The Phil Esposito Hockey Stick at Vintage Edmonton:
-
Visiting relatives in Surrey, and charging my car. #BPPulse and #Texaco, you were complete shit. Both out of action - staff not interested in labelling the pumps or saying why, but I guess the good people of #Egham don’t mind and you don’t need their money, as the #Shell charger a couple of miles out was way better.

Estoy oyendo el episodio que habla sobre el “toxic tour” por los pozos y el Lago donde abrieron los huecos para extraer petróleo en medio del Amazonas ecuatoriano; es una desgracia ambiental y humana. Hace años ganaron la demanda y Chevron/Texaco no ha pagado lo que debe.
No ha pagado lo que debe porque el que tiene plata marranea en sitios donde el dinero compra voluntades, pero oír la cantidad de mujeres con cáncer, niños con deformaciones y hombres enfermos es un golpe en el ánimo. La industria del combustible fusil es una industria criminal.
Me impresiona que las demandantes en busca de justicia en muchos casos son niñas, jóvenes que están tratando de cambiar su futuro. 🥲

#geopolitics #oil #shell #bp Watch this space. When any of the 'big sisters' start dropping whispers something is afoot. Note well that #Musk and #Trump are significant stakeholders in #Exxon and #Texaco #USPolitics . My instinct is that they (shell + bp) are 'securing their independence' should they go really batshit crazee over there. Buy #gold futures (if I was making a market). #dystopia predicates #security for your average #oligarch #trillionaire #justsaying

This hour’s random desktop background on my #MacbookPro is this DOF test using RAW in my Canon 6DM2. It is one of my #Texaco airplane #model collection, No. 13 Wings of Texaco 1930 Travel Air Model R "Mystery Ship" Die Cast Model/Coin Bank.
Was shooting with desktop light, trying to get just the name and prop in clear focus, everything else blurred.
Nothing too special or rocket science-y here, just a shot while bored one day at my desk.

A new 100-page report raises alarm over #Chevron’s impact on planet
by Genevieve Belmaker, Laurel Sutherland on 28 October 2021
- An independent expert report has determined that of the 70 ongoing cases in 31 countries against Chevron, only 0.006% ($286-million) in fines, court judgements, and settlements have been paid. The company still owes another $50.5-billion in total globally.
- The largest of those payout judgements is for $9.5 billion in environmental damages representing 30,000 plaintiffs in #Ecuador where the oil damage is so severe, it’s known as the “Amazon Chernobyl”.
- #Brazil, #Argentina, and #Venezuela are amongst a number of countries in #Africa, #Asia, the #MiddleEast, #LatinAmerica and beyond where there are ongoing litigations against Chevron. In the U.S. alone, there are 13 ongoing litigations against Chevron.
- The same day the report was released, international #HumanRights lawyer #StevenDonziger, lead attorney on the #Chevron #Ecuador case, was imprisoned. His incarceration came after nearly two years of house arrest in New York City and an intense legal battle for his freedom.

@sotirisrex *Everyone* can do something about the #TexasShooting, even ppl outside the US. Do this: #boycott the corps that finance the NRA & fund politicians who oppose gun control. That’s #ALEC→ #AmEx #AnheuserBusch #Marlboro #Geico #HP #Bose #FedEx #UPS #ATT #Chevron #Texaco #Motorola #Sony #Boeing /cc @jeroen @thomasfuchs @ericireland

We'd like to thank, #LeeCamp for again bringing to light the extreme #judicalLynching of #StevenDonziger by the #USA #injusticeSystem.
His crime was securing $10b cleanup funds for the ppl of #Ecuador who were #poisoned by #Texaco (now #Chevron), and for protecting his sources and #whistleblowers just like #Assange.
Unfortunately we can no longer in good conscience link to the podcast because we learned #soundcloud is an #Amazon asset.

2020: #Chevron is refusing to pay for the '#Amazon #Chernobyl' – we can fight back with citizen action
The lawyer challenging the oil company’s #ToxicWaste dump in #Ecuador is under house arrest. We need a boycott
by Alec Baldwin and Paul Paz y Miño
"In 2001, #Chevron acquired #Texaco, including all of its assets and civil liabilities. One of those liabilities was the “Amazon Chernobyl”, a 1,700-square-mile #EnvironmentalDisaster in Ecuador that Texaco created through a disregard – and an attitude that local #Indigenous groups have called racism – for the health of the region’s peoples. Texaco, the sole operator of the fields from 1964 to 1992, eventually admitted that it deliberately discharged 72bn litres of #toxic water into the environment, which ended up in the #water supply, and gouged 1,000 unlined waste pits out of the jungle floor. According to several Indigenous witnesses, including Humberto Piaguaje, a leader of the Ecuadorean #Secoya people, the company actually claimed that the oil wastes were medicinal and 'full of vitamins'.
"Studies have shown thousands of excess cases of cancer deaths and other health problems in the region.
"Chevron insists that Texaco is only responsible for a portion of the damage, has 'already cleaned up its share' and attributes any remaining pollution to Ecuador’s state-owned national oil company. The government of Ecuador has been clear, in turn, that Chevron is liable for all of the damage."
