Page 1 of 10 Texaco's main business goal...as many other if not all major world (oil) companies, when stripped of all the formal and usual standard cosmetic blah..blah..blah..around it, is the making of a "lot of money"...pure and simple, the making of a..."profit, the biggest profit" possible. In the pursuit of this goal Texaco, forgot all about their "social responsibility". Because of this they lost sight of the "relationship between business and the world, the whole world" that is, the one in which they choose to operate. They being "Texaco" personified through their "people workforce", who carry out, act according to "Texaco's inner-culture". From this culture that developed over time, out of the top of this culture, come the day to day guidelines and instructions to management and the lower worker echelons. This is the basis, origin, of the "To Lie and Deny" business-philosophy that is so prevalent in everything Texaco does today, as we experience it. From the old Greek definition of man, we know that the specific difference distinguishing humans from animals is, that human beings are rational. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin put it as follows: " Animal knows, but Man knows that he knows". The specific difference for us between Man and animal is, "Man's Awareness", his "Awareness of Being", which includes the "Awareness of his Activities". We prefer the word "Awareness to "Rational", because awareness captures a much broader meaning as applied in this context. When one has seen the total environmental destruction that becomes clearly obvious from looking at the pictures on the indicated page in this website, it is not hard to figure out why today's ChevronTexaco Boardmembers and Management personnel are left no choice but to use the "To Lie and Deny" strategy as the only option open to the them. Nothing of what you are looking at in the pictures, was ever ment to come out, not in this way, not in Suriname, not in Sint Maarten, not in Nicaragua, or even Ecuador. One can not just assume that a well educated man like David J.O'Reilly, ChevronTexaco's CEO, and the other well trained Texaco Caribbean Inc. boardmembers (who will be listed on another page), because of their direct involvement, duties and responsibility for formulating the company's overall business conduct and policies in among other countries Suriname, for which they as boardmembers were also extremely "well paid", knew nothing about, or of, what they were approving..? So what was the actual basis for the overall "business policy" formulated and annually approved, in the very same years that these gross "toxic environmental contaminations" were developing None of these, from CVX's David J.O'Reilly on down to CVX's Ricardo Reis Veiga, ChevronTexaco VP and Senior Counsel for Latin America, or any of the other board and management members of Texaco Caribbean Inc. can tell us now that they never had any idea of the gross "toxic environmetal contaminations" being caused by Texaco's operational conduct. It is just not possible. We have the proof in hand that unmistakenly shows the "contamination information and data" was known for years within Texaco, they were informed, they knew what was taking place. Do not for a moment think that these "well educated experts in all matters of oil", found out about it all at the same time we did. ChevronTexaco as a combined corporation has been in oil in 175 countries for 129 years. We do not for a minute have the illusion that we are informing any of the management and board members of anything new on the specific nature of the many caused "toxic environmental contaminations". |
