Please help spread this: Chevron won't let it be published in main stream publications
Chevron sent environmental attorney Steven Donziger to prison, in the what’s being called the first-ever case of corporate prosecution.
Steven Donziger sued Chevron for contaminating the Amazon and won. Chevron was found guilty and ordered to pay $18,000,000,000. Yesterday, Donziger went to prison, in the what’s being called the first-ever case of corporate prosecution.
Over three decades of drilling in the Amazon, Chevron deliberately dumped more than 16 billion gallons of toxic wastewater and 17 million gallons of crude oil into the rainforest. Chevron committed ecocide to save money—about $3 per barrel. Many experts consider it the biggest oil-related disaster in history, with the total area affected 30 times larger than the Exxon-Valdez spill. Chevron created a super-fund site in the Amazon rainforest that is estimated to be the size of Rhode Island.
Steven Donziger visited Ecuador in 1993, where he says he saw "what honestly looked like an apocalyptic disaster," including children walking barefoot down oil-covered roads and jungle lakes filled with oil. Industrial contamination caused local tribes to suffer from mouth, stomach, and uterine cancers, respiratory illnesses, along with birth defects and spontaneous miscarriages.
As an attorney, Donziger represented over 30,000 farmers and indigenous Ecuadorians in a case against Chevron and won. In 2011, Chevron was found guilty and ordered to pay $18 billion. Rather than accept this decision, the company vowed to fight the judgment "until Hell freezes over, and then fight it out on the ice." Chevron has been persecuting Steven Donziger for his involvement ever since. In an internal memo, Chevron wrote, “Our L-T [long-term] strategy is to demonize Donziger.”
Chevron sued Donziger for 60 billion dollars, which is the most any individual has ever been sued for in American legal history. Over the course of ten years, armed with a legal team numbering in the thousands, the company set out to destroy Donziger. Chevron had Donziger disbarred, froze his bank accounts, slapped him with millions in fines without allowing him a jury, forced him to wear a 24h ankle monitor, imposed a lien on his home where he lives with his family, and shut down his ability to earn a living. Donziger has been under house arrest since August 2019.
Chevron has used its clout and advertising dollars to keep the story from being reported. “I’ve experienced this multiple times with media,” Donziger said. “An entity will start writing the story, spend a lot of time on it, then the story doesn’t run.” This unprecedented legal situation is happening in New York City, the hometown of the New York Times—but the paper has yet to report on the full story.
On October 27, 2021, Donziger entered federal prison for a six-month sentence. He had already spent over 800 days in house arrest, which is four times longer than the maximum sentence allowed for this charge. Anyone who cares about the rule of law should be appalled. It is an absolute embarrassment, to our government and to our constitution, that Steven Donziger is imprisoned on US soil.
As the title states, Chevron is in the process of executing the first-ever corporate prosecution in American history. This case sets a terrible precedent for attorneys and activists seeking to hold oil companies liable for pollution. Chevron is pursuing this case—to the benefit of the entire fossil fuel industry—to dissuade future litigation that may call them to account for their role in climate change.
This Lawyer Went After Chevron. Now He’s 600 Days Into House Arrest.
EDIT 1: Chevron went after him with a civil RICO lawsuit (accusing him of racketeering) because he’s trying to force Chevron to pay the $18B judgment and follow through with the clean-up. Their “argument” is that Donziger is a fraud who just wanted to extort them for big bucks. They’ve been working hard to paint him as such in the media. Chevron sued him for $60B but then dropped the damages just weeks before because they realized it would necessitate a jury. In the proceeding, Judge Kaplan (who had undisclosed investments in Chevron!) ordered Donziger to turn over his computer to Chevron (with decades of client communications!) effectively violating attorney-client privilege which is the backbone of our legal system. He refused to comply so the judge charged him with contempt of court. US attorneys declined to pursue the charge (because it was ridiculous!) so Judge Kaplan made the exceedingly rare move to get private law firm Seward & Kissel to prosecute him “in the name of” the US govt. Except Seward & Kissel has Chevron as a major client. So many conflicts of interest it’s insane.
EDIT 2: Chevron wants this to go away quietly. They have done their best to suffocate this story. Chevron does not want us to draw attention to the ecocide they deliberately committed (and were literally found guilty of!) in the Amazon. They do not want Donziger to become a household name. They don’t want to create a martyr for the cause against Big Oil. We can foil their plans by signing the MoveOn petition below and making sure this story gets shared widely.
EDIT 3: You can also follow him on Twitter. His handle is @SDonziger.
EDIT 4: I know we are all rightfully pissed off but please refrain from advocating violence in the comments. I’ve been unable to post this story on any other sub (many others have also tried and failed) so I’m really grateful to the mods for keeping it posted here. Let’s not make things difficult on them.

Sun blast X-1 solar flare, CME hit earth today from South America up to Oklahoma USA. G3 geomagnetic storm (strong). Aurora lights seen as low as Illinois and Oregon.
Coincidentally at the same time that La Palma is seeing some of it most volcanic activity and “could” potentially help foster an earth quake of a magnitude of 6+ at the same time, depending on the severity, bring down telecommunications, power grids, etc. within some parts of North & South America (no warning for the East Coast of the USA if there was a tsunami due to a landslide that took place)
Which is not being reported on main stream media and the White House press meeting switched to a La Palma volcano erupting cam for about 3 minutes then switched back (never in my life seen that before) & CBS reported La Palma is apart located on the southeastern side of Spain which it’s actually located northwest of Africa and apart of the Canary Islands.

Something just happened and the world missed it.
2 Year yield bonds in Australia were passed up by the central bank. Why is this significant? It means that inflation is not transitory, if inflation is set to continue it makes bonds unprofitable. Thus it marks and end to easy money for governments to spend, i say governments because the effects are already being felt around the world with an explosion in yield bond prices. No more quantitative easing for the USA, there is about to be a vacuum in monetary supply.
What does this mean for the rest of us? The world is about to see interest rates go up for the first time in decades. Loans will be nigh on impossible to get and our already high cost of living prices are about to go parabolic. And with home owners borrowed to the maximum amount we'll see a global Lehman event with subprime mortgages once again. I suspect house flippers are in for a lot of pain.
The good news is house prices are about to have a fire sale like China is currently experiencing. New home buyers will finally be able to get in (once the smoke clears) If memory serves it took about 4-6 years in the 1980/90's to go from 17% - 8.5% the last time it happened in Australia, can't say for your area but it would be worth looking into.
1st Phase: Common cold/Flu. Mild symptoms at most. Media endorsement of mass paranoia and fear. Flawed testing system utilized, which picks up any genetic material in the body and triggers a positive result. Inflation of Covid case numbers, through changing of death certificates, double- counting, and classifying all deaths including other diseases and natural causes as Covid 19. Lockdown will condition us to life under Draconian laws, prevent protests and identify public resistance.
2nd Phase: The 1st phase will lead to compromised and frail immune systems through lack of food, social distancing, wearing of masks, and lack of contact with sunlight and healthy bacteria. Exposure to 5G radiation will further attack the immune system. Thus, when people re-emerge into society, more people will fall ill. This will be blamed on Covid19. This will all occur before the vaccination is ready to justify it. A longer and more potent lockdown will follow until everyone takes the vaccine.
3rd Phase: If majority of people resist the vaccine, a weaponized SARS/HIV/MERS virus will be released. A lot of people will die from this. It will be survival of the fittest. It will also be the ultimate push for everyone to be vaccinated, in order to return to normality. Those who have taken the vaccine will be at war with those who have not. It will be anarchy from all sides.
1. Will you take the vaccine, accept the Mark of the Beast and sell your soul to the system?
2. Will you fight for your rights and for your children to have a future?

You can make the argument that it doesn't matter, I don't really care. But it's something people should at least be aware is a thing. Even if you want to defend bohemian grove, please try to defend those first two e-mails. I'm open to it.
