Comments by "craxd1" (@craxd1) on "How a Sovereign Group in Jamaica Is Fighting a US Mining Company" video.

From the title: "A US mining company." "Noranda Inc. was a mining and metallurgy company originally from Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada. It was listed on the TSX under the symbol NRD.LV. After eventually acquiring a large interest in rival mining company Falconbridge, it merged with that company in 2005. The combined company continued under the name Falconbridge Limited, ending the Noranda name. Only one year later in 2006 Falconbridge was acquired by the Swiss-based mining company Xstrata. On 2 May 2013 ownership of Xstrata was fully acquired by Glencore." Glencore is Anglo-Swiss. "Glencore plc is an Anglo-Swiss multinational commodity trading and mining company with headquarters in Baar, Switzerland, its oil and gas head office in London and its registered office in Saint Helier, Jersey. The current company was created through a merger of Glencore with Xstrata on 2 May 2013." You can find the Canadian embassy in Kingston. Vice seems to be in the habit of not telling the truth.

@vanseventy Before 2004, it was a US company, but that was sold off to the Canadian company. I thought it disingenuous of them to claim it was still a US company, when it's not, and hasn't been since 2004. There's also some dirty dealing with these later companies, and they had ties to the Russian mob via Marc Rich (Glencore), who Clinton pardoned. Rich was born in Belgium, had multiple citizenships, and he fled the US for years. He supposedly died in 2013, the same year that Xstrata (which owned Noranda) was fully acquired by Glencore, his old company. Rich was prosecuted by Rudolph Giuliani.

@vanseventy The shame of it all is, that it's always about money, and there are some in the elite class that have zero morals, much like Rich and his lot that he was associated with. Some in Jamaica have to be profiting handsomely from this, and the people are not seeing the benefit. Of course, the island is still tied to the UK as well. I believe Rich fled the US by the mid 80s, and stayed in Switzerland and Spain. He was even in Jamaica for awhile, and was almost caught. At the time, when Giuliani went after him, it was the largest fraud and selling oil from a rogue nation case in US history. Glencore still had to pay out multi-millions in fines. Plus, Jamaica still has their Russian problem, and it's tied to Bauxite investment.
