"Yikes! I Might Be...Militia!"
If you’ve been following my extensive coverage — more than two-dozen posts during the past six months — about the bogus lawsuit Chevron Corporation has been fighting in Ecuador for more than 16 years, you should appreciate a new post at The Amazon Post blog.
Full of interactive graphics, the post offers telling snapshots of the “Web of Influence” that connects the Amazon Defense Coalition, a deep-pocketed Philadelphia law firm, a hungry New York lawyer, an infamous lobbyist, a scorched-truth-policy PR campaign, crooked Ecuadoran government officials and others in an effort to extract as much as $27 billion from Chevron via what can best be described as distorted jungle justice.
Click here or on the graphic above to read about this “Web of Influence.”

Hardly incriminating. What? There are lawyers involved in this lawsuit?! Shocking!!
Of course, the pro-Chevron forces in this case could be laid out in a web of lobbyists and PR flacks (not to mention bloggers that aggressively push Chevron’s talking points) that puts this one to shame.
Bob, I wrote about you the other day – you and your readers might be interested.

DanielKaren — My readers might be interested in what you have to say, but I doubt it. Your blog gets so few readers that it’s next to impossible to find. The fact that you have to go spamming sights like mine in a desperate attempt to attract them speaks volumes.Leave a Comment
