No responsible or sane adult enters in to negotiations without knowing the terms. But this is precisely what the adolescent Correa insists: that Ecuadoreans support his Plan before knowing what the terms are. Military strategists know that this is called walking in to a trap. With no reconnaissance and no due diligence about the trap set before Ecuadoreans, Rafael Correa dishonestly and illegally bids them step in to the trap- a deep, dark yawning, gaping trap of communism. It is no coincidence that Leon Roldos, himself frozen in time- the 1970s- has accepted the role as titular head of this trap. While Correa’s constitutional take over plan/structural power to remove all democracy is actually known to Chavez’s paid actors and international intelligence circles (sometimes called diplomats), it is of course well known to all that Correa plans to convert Ecuador to a satellite state of Venezuela. Rafael Correa has plenty of help from the whacky world of NGO activists who have been beavering away to help Chavez’s paid propagandists and the anti-Plan Colombia/anti-democracy activists in Ecuador cover up their activities. We know this because Correa and Chavez and Iran’s leadership have told us all that this is their plan. Ecuadoreans need to look very closely at the large print and the small print before agreeing to walk in to the trap set by Rafael Correa’s tricksters, liars, activists, propagandists, pornographers and thugs, sometimes called his Hugo Chavez-backed cabinet.

Rafael Correa wants Ecuador to toss out its constitution and install a new one to force by design an Ecuadorean zone to look exactly like Cuba and Venezuela where wages are controlled by the state in many arenas, where state run propaganda replaces free speech, where paid goon squads roam freely as crime and political murders soar, and where basic services and food shortages have strained all consumers, forcing them to realize that authoritarian regimes never perform to deliver functional governments.

It is wildly irresponsible of Chavez’s new political Princeling, the badly educated Rafael Correa, to rush Ecuadoreans to act illegally to convert its own nation to a satellite of Hugo Chavez without any national discussion or disclosure of his wild eyed schemes.

It is deeply troubling that any Ecuadorean would concede to the demands of paid protesters whose sole job is not to build Ecuador but act as street theatre protesters, actors in assistance to the communist take over of Ecuador. A simple bit of review of their paid antics will reveal much and suspend credence for their illicit activities which includes state backed violence against governmental and citizen actors who are not part of the pro-Chavez take over of Ecuador.

Ecuadoreans today realize that Rafael Correa lied to them in his blatant election effort to grab the presidency. Ecuadoreans realize that Rafael Correa is still lying to them by failing to deliver a complete Annual Budget before their Congress, refusing to say what or where their state oil funds are all about. Correa has lied before the global markets and banks by claiming that Ecuador’s most important problem is its debt. This too is a lie as Ecuadorean debt is quite manageable. What Correa has not done- not once- is speak honestly about the real intentions of his regime or how many billions of dollars his Chavez-backed plan is costing Ecuador already as banks wobble toward insolvency and businesses fear collapse.

The recent CEDATOS poll, often cited in Castro’s own Prensa Latina, claims that Ecuadoreans overwhelmingly back Correa. This is also a lie. What Ecuadoreans do want, if any took the trouble to break down that poll, is reform and a sustainable government, if they think about it at all. And today, Ecuadoreans are finally thinking about it even as they remain locked inside a nation with scant information and even less intelligence. To support the on going informational brown out regarding Chavez and Correa’s acts in Ecuador is to aid and abet their galloping, slimy campaign across the pages of history.

A massive squeeze play against functioning democracy is at last underway in Ecuador after many false starts since the highly paid Jeffrey Sachs, installed with the sole support of Ivonne A Baki and the Clinton team under Peter Romero, helped then President Mahuad lead Ecuador in to economic collapse. Only dollarization granted Ecuadoreans some confidence to try to reign in its out of control inflation. Rafael Correa hates the use of the U.S. dollar because he and Chavez cannot control the U.S. Federal Reserve and as such, Correa will wait to de-dollarize. We predict that Correa will wait about 18 months on this- at least until he has all hands firmly on all powers of state under his new power grabbing constitution, unwittingly supported by those who should know better and will be held accountable for their illicit acts to deceive. Of course by then, the U.S. Treasury will have woken up to Correa’s money laundering haven and his blatant state sponsorship of narcoterror groups. The U.S. Treasury may even inquire about Correa’s already patently obvious crony profiteering and market manipulations of investments and bonds before the U.S. markets because the U.S. Department of State and US AID did not. The U.S. will no longer grant Ecuador the gift of dollarization. With dollarization gone, Ecuador’s banks will collapse and Hugo Chavez’s banks will remain, yet more victims to Chavez’s planned monopolizations by state racketeering, sometimes called Venezuelan diplomacy

.

Inflation will instantly reappear in the six digits and Ecuador will cease to exist in any meaningful sense due to total collapse of their entire economy. Already under Correa, no one knows what or where Ecuador’s oil assets will go. To be sure, no functional cost benefit analysis of the Correa take over plan is on the table and as such, no further support for his wild eyed schemes should proceed unless and until this is performed.

The Congress of Ecuador has an obligation to demand review of Correa’s multi-headed contracts with Hugo Chavez and Iran. Without full disclosure, there is no disclosure and as such, Congress- and the people of Ecuador- must insist on first things first before granting Correa a Free Pass Card to sell all of Ecuador’s assets and its future to Chavez and Iran, replacing Ecuador’s nascent nation with a Hezbollah-style regime which Correa prefers to call a new replica of his adored place, Fidel Castro’s Cuba..

The United States, instead of crafting very expensive U.S. tax payer backed spiritual experiences for U.S. Senator Harry Reid, sometimes called Congressional vacations or sometimes called pro-Chavez lobbying activities to cast harm to Plan Colombia, should instead act responsibly and trigger the OAS to be on the ground in Ecuador to review the illicit acts of Rafael Correa as he moves his state-backed machinery of violence and deception across Quito to destroy one more democracy. All violent and illegal pressure to proceed on this ginned-up, as yet undisclosed, constitutional plebiscite, well known as the Correa and Chavez conversion plan, must be suspended pending full due diligence and review.

Today, the stakes are too high for the OAS to join Harry Reid in suspending their obligation of high office. Communism, however deceptively packaged, is never a spiritual awakening. Contrary to earlier paid political propaganda, Correa is no friend to the USA (and the EU) and indeed is an enemy to the EU and the USA as he acts to remove integrity, honesty and the light of liberty, which he would darken swiftly.

Ignoring for a moment Hugo Chavez’s pathetically dishonest/phony rewrites of history regarding Simon Bolivar, we remind that Ecuador’s own Mariscal Sucre was one of history’s greatest military tacticians. Bolivar’s fight for independence owed its entire success to Sucre’s long ignored tactical brilliance to succeed in his strategy. Sucre’s brilliance lay in his insistence on having the facts before him…long before acting. Without Sucre’s demands for full due diligence in all things before leaping in to action, Latin America would still be under the thumb of an overarching undemocratic, corrupt, authoritarian-monopolistic regime. History’s lessons may well be forgotten next week in Quito if the OAS refuses to perform its singular obligation to assist in due diligence regarding the decidedly undemocratic antics of the Chavez and Correa thugs who do intend to install Ecuador as Chavez’s new Iranian linked satellite zone.  Any who refuse to place the facts on the table are part of the problem….the problem of greed, corruption and communism.  Mariscal Sucre was shot in the back by greedy, dishonest, authoritarian mini caudillo dictators who demanded that the Andes be governed by greedy, authoritarian, mini dictators, refusing the lights of liberty. Will Ecuadoreans turn a blind eye again as Sucre’s lessons are shot in the back?  Today Correa’s paid golpistas carry the flags of their new Chavez zone- red flags of communism with CHE!’s iconographic visage. Far better we think to carry Sucre’s fuller flag of liberty and transparency first before heading in to any battle, especially when democracy is on the line.
