[BBB Press Release] [From The EcoNet env.oil Newsgroup]

San Francisco, CA - The Ecotopia Cell of the Biotic Baking
Brigade (BBB) swung into action today in its first post-'Cherry
Pie 3' sentencing action, delivering just desserts in the form
of three pies to the head (quite literally, as well as the suit
and tie) of Chevron, CEO Kenneth T.  Derr.

This latest pastry incident occurred outside of the Galileo
Academy of Science and Technology at 10:35 a.m., shortly before
he was to give a corporate greenwash speech to kids at the
school's "National Engineers Week" program. BBB Agent 3.14
launched the first strike after saying to Derr, "Do people
really kill Nigerians for oil? People Do," in reference to
Chevron's "People Do" ad campaign. The multiple pie-throwers
successfully tossed three pies, and then disappeared without a
trace.

Derr was targeted because the BBB believes in thinking globally
and acting locally. Abroad, Chevron engages in destruction of
indigenous cultures and ecosystems; murder of nonviolent
activists in Nigeria; obstruction of any meaningful efforts to
address global warming; and repeated labor violations. Closer to
home, Chevron is one of the worst corporate polluters in
California. Here in the Bay Area, its Richmond refinery earned
top billing from a recent study by the Environmental Protection
Agency, which designated the Richmond plant as the nation's
biggest toxic waste producer, releasing about 1 million pounds
of poison to the air and 500,000 pounds to the Bay.

"From the forests of Columbia to the platforms of Nigeria down
to the waters and workers of own Bay, large petro-chemical
corporations display callous disregard for human life and the
future of this planet," says BBB Agent Blueberry of the Cherry
Pie 3 Solidarity Committee. "We have witnessed toxic spill after
toxic spill. We have seen our fellow workers perish in refinery
'mishaps,' and we have watched oil companies take off their
gloves and get directly involved in the murder of indigenous
peoples the world over. To their lies, we respond with pies."

This action comes in light of new information about direct
collaboration between Chevron and Nigerian security forces in
the continuing repression of protesters in Nigeria's Delta
region. Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) and several
members of Congress are calling for a congressional
investigation into the allegations of killings of innocent
Nigerian civilians, human rights abuses and harassment of
environmental activists by Nigerian security forces with the
help of Chevron, a U.S.- based oil company.

The BBB is not afraid to name and identify the destroyers of our
future.  After all, the Earth is not dying: it is being killed,
and the people doing the killing have names and faces. As Chief
Executive Officer, Derr has the greatest share of Nigerians'
blood on his hands, and yet this corporate killer walks the
streets a free man. But not free from our delicious
resistance. . . .

This action kicks off a campaign of international solidarity pie
actions for the Cherry Pie 3, who were jailed for 6 months by
Judge Ernest Goldsmith in order to "deter" pie-throwing. To the
forces of law and order in San Francisco, Agent Blueberry says,
"Deter This!"
