显然，瓦尔迪兹（Valdez）是工业家和污染者，统治哥斯达黎加和其他拉丁美洲国家的大型美国公司的辩护律师。在这里找到这样的人并不奇怪，因为中央情报局已经控制了哥斯达黎加数十年。这不是一个国家；它是美国商业利益的子公司。美国的企业没有为环境提供该死的。
(Clearly, Valdez was an apologist for the industrialists and polluters, the big American companies that dominated Costa Rica and other Latin American countries. Not surprising to find such a person here, since the CIA had controlled Costa Rica for decades. This wasn't a country; it was a subsidiary of American business interests. And American businesses did not give a damn for the environment.)
