Chevron Heaps Greenwash on Myanmar

Hiding the ownership of "earthtimes.org" behind the veil of a "Privacy Protection Service" in Bellevue Washington provides a nice cover for Chevron, especially since they have taken over the operations of Unocal in Myanmar.
Don't for a moment confuse "earthtimes.org" with "earthrights.org", although Chevron may want you to. Earthrights called Chevron out on the carpet for the continued rape and pillage of Myanmar on the day that it was known the cyclone headed that way would reach level 4. (see previous story)

But the warlords they hire to run the government of Myanmar allowed global warming to take it's toll. And when they dole out the goodies provided by charities around the world, it will only be to propagandize the survivors in the most heinous fashion.

So it is fitting that Chevron should have a ready platform to announce it's kindliness toward the poor suffering people of Myanmar (who have been scheduled for demolition ever since oil was suspected to pool beneath their rice paddies). earthtimes.org fills the spaces between corporate press releases with stories about the size of the Powerball jackpot and hides behind the infamous "Privacy Protection Service" offered by enom of Bellevue Washington. The place where they host this monstrosity has lauched script attacks against DOGSPOT, so I've had to add their IP addresses to my ever-growing .htaccess file.

I grind my cigarette butt into the pavement as I turn my gaze toward New Jersey, where their Network Operation Center lurks. So here I present you their dossier. Do what you will.
