Anyway, on to the last source:
http://dte.gn.apc.org/49Ach.htm This is from the homepage of Down to Earth, an organization that
"monitors and campaigns on the social and human implications of environmental issues in Indonesia."
<long quote of article removed>
Because of their solid sources, their claims hold merit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There's an example of one of each, a labor rights and humanitarian source."
Yes. Two sources.
1) How many human rights sources fall into the "NON-credible" category?
2) Why were these sources missing from the following analysis (of which I was commenting on):
DML:
Exxon has already participated in genocide of the local population for that oil.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dan M:
"According to the rebels. The US Department of State says it's the Indonesian military that has done these things. I think that is probably accurate, since to my knowledge Exxon doesn't have private soldiers they use to kill people."
(#1020233 - Sat Jan 08 2005 09:14 PM )
Or are you only admitting the credibility of sources that do not prove (or claim to prove) that Exxon actually got it's hands dirty?
What about Tapol? Do you find them credible?
http://tapol.gn.apc.org/They are the primary Human Rights organization for Indonesia. They say:
"
By the time of the merger between Exxon and Mobil Oil, there was a 'clear public record of pervasive and systematic human rights violations perpetrated upon the innocent non-combatant villagers of Aceh by the TNI troops specifically hired to provide "security" for the Arun Project'. This included provision for two military barracks located near the installations, commonly referred to as 'Post 113' and 'Rancong Camp' which were used by Kopassus (special forces) units to interrogate, torture and murder Acehnese civilians suspected of engaging in separatist activities. It also included the provision of heavy equipment so that the Indonesian military could dig mass graves to bury their Acehnese victims, and the use of roads constructed by the companies to transport the military's victims to mass graves located near company premises.
Since the collapse of the Suharto regime, the defendants' 'security' service, the TNI, have continued without restraint to practice 'ethnic genocide', while the company has ignored pleas by numerous human rights groups to cease its operations in Aceh until it can make arrangements to operate without using the murderous TNI for security.
A litany of abuses
All the plaintiffs, referred to simply as John or Jane Doe, were subjected to abuses at the hands of troops guarding the company's premises. One plaintiff was shot in the wrist, had a grenade thrown at him and was left for dead. He lost a hand and his left eye. The second was forced onto a truck, beaten severely on the head and body, blindfolded and taken to Rancong where he was tortured for months. The third was shot three times in the leg then dragged to a post where he was tortured while his gunshot wounds bled, had his skull cracked and was burnt with cigarettes. He was finally released after a bribe was paid. The fourth was beaten by soldiers, accused of being GAM and had the letters 'GAM' carved on his back with a knife. The fifth was held in a building inside the company's complex, tortured with cigarettes and electricity, sustaining severe injuries to his head and body. His captors also beat his son and broke his leg. The sixth plaintiff was tortured then taken to his village and ordered to identify all villagers who were members of GAM. When he denied knowing any GAM members, he was beaten and shot in the leg. After hospitalisation, he was tortured again, suffering more severe injuries. Finally, his village head made a collection in the village and bribed the police to release him. Male plaintiff No 7 was taken by his captors to an office inside the company compound where he was beaten with the butt of a gun and a hammer, sustaining severe injuries.
The house of the first female plaintiff, who was pregnant at the time, was forcibly entered by a soldier who threatened to kill her and her unborn child, then sexually assaulted her. The second woman plaintiff's husband was shot dead while working in a field, while the third woman's husband was taken from their home at gunpoint and never re-appeared. Female plaintiff No 4 also lost her husband when he was working in a field where he was shot and killed.
The court was requested to award the plaintiffs compensatory and punitive damages and to enjoin the defendant from further engaging in human rights abuses against the plaintiffs and their fellow villagers in complicity with the Indonesian government and military.
Pertamina: 'We're responsible'
In response to the lawsuit, Exxon issued a statement 'categorically' denying any suggestion that it or its affiliate companies were involved in abuses by the security forces. For its part, Pertamina claimed that it was responsible for ExxonMobil security. 'The protection for all vital installations is the responsibility of Pertamina,' the company said, adding that it was common for the company to ask for assistance from the government if its vital installations came under threat. The president-director denied that they financed troops, but 'simply provided some health, housing and transportation facilities for the security officers ... in return for their services in guarding our facilities'. [Jakarta Post, 23 June 2001]
No one should expect early results from the lawsuit. Other cases, against Unocal in Burma and Shell/Chevron in Nigeria, are currently under consideration in US courts and it could take years for a verdict to be handed down.
Exxon and US policy
Three months before the lawsuit was filed, Exxon halted all its operations in Arun for reasons of security. Four days later, the Indonesian cabinet adopted a decision to declare GAM a 'separatist' organisation and set in motion preparations for an all-out offensive in Aceh. This came with Presidential Instruction No IV/2001 (Inpres/IV) on 11 April and the commencement of military operations on 2 May. A primary aim of the operations was the need to persuade Exxon to resume operations, as the shutdown was costing the Indonesian state $100 million a month in revenue and a possible meltdown of its guaranteed overseas market for liquefied natural gas. Even before specially-trained counter-insurgency troops were sent to Aceh from various parts of Indonesia with a mission 'to crush GAM', an additional 2,000 troops were sent to increase 'security' at the Arun field.
http://tapol.gn.apc.org/162nexxo.htmThey also say:
The people of Aceh are suffering the gravest catastrophe in their history in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami, which struck on 26 December 2004.
The devastation and humanitarian crisis are unprecedented. The official death toll is currently 52,000. The final figure could be as high as 100,000. Tens of thousands are homeless and facing the prospect of killer diseases.
The disaster has been compounded by chaotic mismanagement by the Indonesian authorities and the legacy of decades of violent conflict. A war has been raging in the territory since the 1970s between the Indonesian military and the separatist Free Aceh Movement, GAM.
The Indonesian government's response to the crisis has been slow, lacked coherence and demonstrated a reluctance, for political reasons associated with the conflict, to involve the international community. Currently just two helicopters have been deployed to assist with the immense relief and rehabilitation operation.
The government has severely restricted access to Aceh by international humanitarian organisations since the imposition of martial law in May 2003. Even now it is sending out mixed messages about the lifting of restrictions. Desperately-needed aid is being held up in Medan, North Sumatra.
Intimidation and violence against local NGOs by the security forces have incapacitated civil society and severely curtailed their ability to respond to the crisis."
http://tapol.gn.apc.org/st041230.htmAccording to this universally respected source, Exxon has participated greatly in the genocide, and the government is withholding aid from the people of Aceh - the hardest hit place in the entire region - during this crisis.

I didn't attack your "character" - I noticed a pattern in your argument. It's as ridiculous as me saying your constant dismissal of the facts presented as "not credible" is an attack on MY character.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I don't see a pattern of me blanketly believing government and military sources and discounting all others."
What about that "according to the rebels" quote above?
"I would also point out that I'm not chosing the sources for the most part, you are. When I look at a source I'm looking at the following:
Who wrote it, can they be contacted, do they have obvious bias, do they have expertise on the matter on which they are commenting, has anyone else verified their information, and if not, can I verify their information?"
You don't have a science background and you are too quick to discount the science background of others - just to be able to avoid talking about HAARP entirely, even though they provide souces and meet all your other criteria.

http://www.globalpolicy.org/socecon/envronmt/weapons.htmRosalie Bertell IS qualified to comment on HAARP (she would have been criticized by others for lying or bullshitting had she done so, but so far there are no attacks on the substance of what she is saying by the rest of the scientific community - only weak attacks on her abilities by you.
"If a source looks suspect(like the Berkley professor being quoted out of context) I look more deeply into the matter."
You only look deeply into the matter to discredit something, not to understand something. You don't seem to want to look at my collection of Exxon "world war crimes", or the extent of Exxon's participation in the genocide in Aceh, or HAARP's true capabilities .... or anything else I'm claiming in this discussion. For every two sources you admit are "legit", there are many, many more you discount for the most trivial of reasons.
Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Re-read the above posts - they participate by paying the military and occationally supplying equipment to bulldoze mass graves and rooms to torture people with - that's even more than being an "accessory" to crime - that's being an "organizer" of crime.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We agree. Exxon is an accessory to this criminal and murderous behavior."
We don't agree. I'm calling them "ORGANIZERS" of these crimes, you're calling them "accessories". They pay for the crimes, they benefit from them - they are the bosses and the military do their bidding.
For example, executives in I.G. Farben (Exxon's old business partners) were found guilty of "mass murder" (they were never called "accessories") at Nuremburg even though none of them were present for the killings at their "I.G. Auschwitz plant" or their own private concentration camp - Auschwitz 3 (Monowitz). Calling them "accessories" would have down-played their role as "sponsors" - even though it might be accurate in a legal sense, it does nothing to explain their leading role in the matter.
Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where do I "pretend" Exxon did these things. All I claim is that they paid for it and benefitted from it, as well as provide torture rooms and mass-graves building equipment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If that is all you're claiming, then again we agree. The Indonesian military doing the killing makes it difficult to tie it all back to Rockefller though, since he didn't create the Indonesian military."
Au contrare. Rockefeller's main lawyers were the Dulles brothers - of which Allen Dulles was a primary creator of the CIA. The CIA put Suharto into power. These are historical facts.
The single primary character of the CIA is Mr. Dulles. There's no question about it, it was his agency. Nobody else has left any mark like his.
http://www.ratical.org/ratville/JFK/USO/chp2_p1.html#marker=6382 The CIA was directly implicated in the horrific massacres in 1965-66, in which some 600,000 people are believed to have been murdered, which eliminated all dissent, especially on the left. General Suharto was put in power in Jakarta, inaugurating 32 years of army-backed one-man rule. He became America’s favourite dictator in East Asia, and the most corrupt and ruthless.
http://www.mafhoum.com/press4/115seale.htm Dulles derived much of his profits and his clients' profits from investments in Nazi Germany. In the 1930s Dulles set about creating an incredible interlocking financial network between Nazi corporations, American Oil and Saudi Arabia. Here Allen had help from his brother Foster. Perhaps the best-known deal arranged by Dulles was between I.G. Farben and Standard Oil of New Jersey. What is generally not known Farben was the second largest shareholder in standard Oil of New Jersey, second to only John D. Rockefeller himself.11 Another Rockefeller controlled corporation that Dulles worked to protect was the Rockefeller corporation United Fruit, both United Fruit and Standard Oil of New Jersey continued to trade with the Nazis after the out break of war.

Did you say that you were with the US Military intelligence? I would say that your bias is not only a person not qualified to dismiss the obviously impressive credentials of a scientist,

"To clarify, I didn't dismiss her credentials. I said (and maintain) she lacks the credentials to claim that there's some sort of HAARP/Spacelab combo that can hit the earth with a nuke-equivalent blast of energy."
I say you don't know enough about her to judge. I'd say she's one of the top scientists in the world, and her claims regarding HAARP have yet to be contested by anyone with a science background.

but you may have lingering favorable views of the US Military that may explain why all your posts are so dismissive.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That is not the case. I would like to get away from a pattern where you give me a source, I analyze the source, and then instead of discussing the analysis the argument focuses on how "I only trust the government" or how my service in the military might indicate a pro-military bias on my part."
Try analysing the source on WHAT THEY ARE SAYING rather than trying to dismiss them as "unqualified" to be saying it.
"Obviously I wasn't that fond of the military or I'd still be part of it."
If you're not a part of it, what do you do now?
Many, many intelligence operatives claim to no longer be operatives .... John Stockwell, for example, pretends to have cut his ties and yet he goes about lecturing at Universities regarding the necessity of the CIA and similar institutions to exist.
"It did provide me a way to go to college though, and at the age of 17 I had no political or personal reasons for not joining."
You went directly from high-school (or college) into intelligence? Don't you have to be a regular soldier first? What do you do now - it would help in understanding your bias. Being a not-anonymous person, my bias is out there for all to see. Unlike myself, no one here knows where you are coming from.
"My point of mentioning my service at all is this: It would be easy for me to set up a page about the secret weapon capabilities of HAARP, and then in my bio write about how I was a veteran of Military Intelligence for a number of years. How I had a SECRET security clearance and worked on classified electromagnetic wave detection equipment as well as secret seismic equipment."
If you're arguing that Rosalie Bertell is bullshitting and fronting using her limited science background to do so, you're not convincing me one bit.
"All of that is above is true, but it doesn't mean I know diddly about HAARP. I can certainly make myself sound like an expert on the matter, and probably fool a lot of people in to believing I'm some sort of expert by using my real credentials. That's one reason sources have to be carefully scrutinized; to make sure the person making the claim has the knowledge to back it up."
If you tried (and lied about HAARP), there would be plenty of people around to call Bullshit. Show me where Rosalie Bertell has been "debunked" and your argument may hold some weight. Otherwise, it is you who are bullshitting.
