The environmental leftists will believe anything that suits their greed no matter the evidence. So they trot out a bald faced liar.

Rigoberta Menchu, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1992, accuses Chevron of "ecocide" against the indigenous people of Ecuador in a demonstration in... View Enlarged Image
Does it get any phonier when a famous liar is called on to call Chevron a liar? Chevron, remember, won a huge court victory in 2013 when it was able to painstakingly prove to a skeptical federal judge that the environmental left's two-decade collection of claims about the oil giant's supposed environmental pollution in the rain forests of Ecuador was nothing but a shakedown and fraud.
After that, the angry judge tossed the $19 billion lawsuit, ending 22 years of legal fighting. Chevron's victory, in fact, exposed the whole scheme as nothing but a shakedown, with judicial payoffs, sleazy film directing and out-takes, invented damage numbers, and a string of washed-up movie stars such as Mia Farrow, Danny Glover and Daryl Hannah, some taking cash to support the phony claims.
The picture of the corruption was so grotesque, it was sold this year as movie rights to Brad Pitt, who may well make a big-name film, which is something that terrifies the left.
With the left's credibility just another wreckage in the jungle, there probably isn't anyone out there who would stand up for the environmental case against Chevron and retain any credibility.
Oh wait, there's one: indigenous rights activist Rigoberta Menchu, whose lifetime achievement has been to fool generations of schoolchildren — and a Nobel Prize committee — with lies about her tough childhood in Guatemala.
Now Menchu is being trotted out to call Chevron a liar and prop up the environmental left's flailing fortunes. Only someone as shameless as Menchu would be willing to pull it off.
