		<description>&lt;p&gt;These legal paper storms surely intended to slow,divert,distract and place in distress this scale of underfunded,understaffed legal/judicial forum.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Corporations have ridden roughshod across the planet post WW2 in search of natural resources to exploit — local human populations subjected to large doses of corporate abuse as this film demonstrates and displays.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is taking place across Africa and Asia as well. In Nigeria. In Burma. In Indonesia. In Papua New Guinea. Whether this corporate exploitation centers around mining,logging or drilling and pumping/pipeline operations the horror stories share similar traits of what happens to local populations. To easily overwhelmed/corrupted/subverted local,regional or national governments. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Corporate good citizenship? Corporate eco/social centric conduct? Accountablility? Responsibility taken? Not much. Too little. Criminally driven for reason of profits and power to ride roughshod over humanbeings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The money attacks corporations can mount against weak or corrupted governments set the stage for more corruption,environmental mayhem and very deep perversion of local populations traditional living patterns and social structures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unless and until international corporations are reeled in and bound to international laws and courts. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unless equal classed courts and control agencies that can and will govern,restrict and punish this terrible conduct of corporate exploitation and legal gaming of weak victims and corrupted governments. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unless this level field of play is created and maintained there will not be any real ceasing of the conduct and attendant consequences this film is highlighting.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Ah, hello.  Late here to this thread.  This is fascinating.  Made me think of my friend, Greg Palast and the work he did up north in Alaska with the Exxon Valdez debacle.  He wrote about it.  I always thought he should have made a move about that.  But, as we know, it’s a long slog.  Good for you!  Bringing out this information is, if not surprising, still, extremely important.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
