Environmentalists oppose Arizona copper mine

A huge copper mine planned for the U.S. state of Arizona is causing deep divisions.
Supporters say it will create thousands of much-needed jobs.
However, environmentalists say it will scar the landscape and create excess pollution.

    Do this is the test. There are a lot of wealthy people and retirees in that area of Tuscon, not to mention mostly Republican. It will be interesting to see how they react to the noise, pollution and visual grotesque.

    Same time, same problem, just down the road a bit:
    the people of the mountains of northern Peru are also facing a show-down with their government’s police after their rights to their land have been sold out from under them… but it’s to a Canadian company, so that’s all right then – ?!
    Google [Canadian miner Candente Copper Corp Canariaco project] and [El pueblo de San Juan de Cañaris, (región Lambayeque)].
    May bonds of allegiance may be forged by those who support the people of the land.

    Come with some actual proof before you spout out Alex Jones-indoctrinated propaganda.

    Bankers. They crash the economy.. and they get to (a) crush the unions.. (b) force people to work for squat.. (c) strip out all environmental laws.. (d) make out like the thieving ratbot bastards they are! How convenient for them. Oh yeah, forgot: they also get TRILLIONS of free taxpayer handouts that the whole working class will be on the hook for for the rest of eternity.
