Bhopal gas leak: Each victim has got around £100
A US-caused chemical disaster in India in 1984. At least 2000 dead and 600,000 injured. There are still many horrible birth defects occurring. I believe the firm responsible, Union Carbide, is still part of Dow Chemical, well known since Vietnam days.
A Bhopal court issued a non-bailable warrant against Warren Anderson of Union Carbide as late as 1992. After dragging its feet for 12 years, the government formally asked for his extradition in 2004. But the US government rejected the request.
Nityanand Jayaraman, of the International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal campaign group,said " the punishment imposed on Union Carbide was wholly inadequate". "I feel that it portends ill for the country that industrialists and corporations are being told that they can actually get away with murder, and today's verdict is essentially that - a signal that [after] the world's worst industrial disaster, the people who were accused of that are just being let off with a rap on the knuckles."
IMO: CocaCola representatives are still on the Bilderberg steering committee and CocaCola is still damaging India's disastrously sparse water supplies. There is likely to be an excellent monsoon this year so naturally sugar futures dropped and overall the effect on US stockmarkets will be unfavorable. Perhaps the vile US capitalists and the Bilderberg group will cause weather modification which will weaken the monsoon to help the US stock market ! With that sort of 'friends', who needs enemies. The US is literally getting away with murder and perhaps it is no wonder that in some quarters the US is known as the "great Satan". All this cannot help US efforts in Afghanistan and the hard and risky work being done by US troops in Afghanistan.
