February 14, 2008   Ever acting on the theory that all politics is local, our troika of miscreants called Castro-Chavez-Correa- the three C's of communism- actually seek George Soros's hand picked Barack Obama's election to the U.S. presidency in lock step with their favorite American political/NGO activist financier and offshore derivatives trader, George Soros. In fact, Insulza of the OAS incorrectly calls Soros a "statesman" when nothing could be further from the truth. Soros, who has yet to divest himself of anything or disclose his full financial picture to anything- including his offshore activities, well hidden now, is a self interested money mover who likes to fund movements to make money the old fashioned way.
 
What Obama is doing in lock step with this manager of offshore derivatives monies named Soros as his powerhouse backer is, of course, well known. Unless and until Obama returns Soros's monies and breaks officially with Soros, he remains in his pocket. And that pocket is covered now with hundreds of so called NGOs whose geo political goals include the replacement of the U.S. Constitution, cleverly called constituent assemblies to install the neo communist constitutions, to remove legal reprisals for terrorists and criminals, restrict open media with replacements from leftist propaganda movers, and to promote narcodemocracies. This plan, thanks to US AID teaming with the Soros and pro Chavez plans, has been effective in Palestine, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Ecuador, enjoining all with Iran. Honduras and/or Guatemala are probably next.
 
Following Ecuador's ambassador to the United Nations, who sports photos of himself lovingly embracing Hugo Chavez as he worked tirelessly to ignore the 2006 election results under the fake gaze of the Jimmy Carter operatives to bless the pre-rigged Chavez election mess- also called election fraud, our intrepid Ecuadorean diplomatic corps heralded by Sr. Gallegos across Washington, D.C. and New York is in lock step with the Correa team's fawning surrender of logic, facts and common sense to promote their alliance with Hugo Chavez, the FARC, and his dark allies from Iran and Cuba. In fact, Ecuador is overrun by Cuban, Iranian, FARC and Venezuelan government agents who do truly run that woebegone state functions, making a full mockery of the highly abused phrase "sovereignty" which of course means....we/as a diplomatic/sovereign course of action will not deliver accountability, transparency of justice.
 
In lock step with the embraceable Hugo adoration club by the "Ecuadorean diplomatic corps" comes this photo from Barrack Obama's campaign offices in Texas:



This is the face of Soros's own Si Se Puede and the transformative Obama campaign to "heal" the Soros-created land of self loathing, confusion and hatred.
 
Note that Obama's photo is almost invisible in his campaign offices, sitting as it does next to the Cuban flag. Note too that nowhere is the U.S. flag or any commitment to pro USA symbols. This comes as no surprise. We are suspecting that by now this blatant preference for the glories of Castro and CHE by Obama's team America has been hidden again. We can also say that not all Obama supporters adore CHE and pretend that Castro is some hero. But their money movers and backers from much of the hedge fund world do believe this as do many of the "smaller" donors- the true believers from DALIY KOS and Code Pink, which is but one step away from RED, as in Euro-Red. But Rafael Correa has just stepped up to publicly defend and promote Fidel Castro's money makers called Hugo Chavez and his own wallet in this place and in this time where nothing is accountable and the only persons really making money in the Andes are spot oil traders and derivatives swaps managers who are enjoying the ride as long as Chavez, Castro and Correa keep sending their Trojan Horses of lunatic behaviors in to the arena. Which of course retains an estimated 20% synthetic/fake oil price spike per barrel... something for nothing but turmoil.
 
The 2-13-08 Investors Business Daily takes the story further, read it here. 

The piece notes about Obama, "The display of the Castroite flag with Che's picture on it sends a particularly disturbing message about his campaign. Apparently, Obama tends to attract the kind of people who think of mass murderers like Che and Fidel as romantic revolutionaries. Those same people see Obama as a man with a messianic message. These are the voters he'll be indebted to should he win higher office. Worse yet, it signals that a U.S. commander in chief tolerates supporters with loyalties to nations other than the U.S., including those loyal to enemy states that spy on and seek to harm the U.S. It coincides uncomfortably with Obama's call for no-strings-attached diplomatic relations with communist Cuba. He's even offered to meet with the dictators of Cuba, sanctimoniously implying that other administrations had no good reason for not doing so. Obama's naive idealism is based on a false understanding of history. Cuba is a nation that aimed Soviet missiles at us in 1962 and is likely to do the same if and when Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez gets advanced weapons from Russia or Iran. That's not all:

In 1996, Cuba shot down two U.S. planes, killing six Americans whose only "crime" was trying to rescue Cuban refugees at sea. Had a political candidate in Latin America pasted up a picture of Che at election time, there'd be no doubt where he stood — ones who did just that are now running countries with names like Bolivia and Venezuela. Is that what Obama really stands for?"
 
Into this hemisphere-wide political boost for restoring Marxism, comes Rafael Correa. El presidente has locked in his life long promise to install and support for Castro's Marxist-communist gulag profligacy as his own winning plan [also called ruining Ecuador's global positions] for Ecuador, reiterating as he has done in the last few days his complete support for Chavez's recent crime spree and loony support for conspiracy theories, has worshipped the Cuban and CHE team for most of his life. There is no doubt that Rafael Correa would find nothing amiss in this cheery photo from Obama's campaign offices to seek election. It was just over a year ago that Correa's entire inner circle/politburo was singing CHE love songs around a camp fire in unity with their communist brothers. This was followed by Correa's fake Inaugural ceremony one year ago wherein he refused to swear to uphold the constitution and celebrated with his new friends of global terror from Iran and the FARC, followed by his fake shaman ritual with fake priests, Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales and fake feathers. Correa's regime has been down hill ever since. Bailed out repeatedly by Hugo Chavez, Correa cannot seem to find- and has no interest in finding- an accountable national budget or disclosing where the national revenues have gone. Foreign investment has flown out the door as Correa bears down on all Ecuadoreans with composite tax rates estimated at well over 65% today and rising. Correa now fully controls all justice, PetroEcuador, all national revenues, supports grand theft from foreign companies, controls the army, the police, the courts and has kicked out Congress at the point of a gun while pretending that Hugo Chavez's governmental operatives are not running the ridiculously incompetent assembly masters of mental midgetry in Montecristi when they are truly running the show.
 
In place of sound leadership for Ecuador, Correa instead follows the Chavez plan to simply hire more liars and propagandists to promote his lies. Under the ever watchful hand of the Soros and Chavez team's highly paid actors called Fenton Communications and the Moss Brothers' close friend and anti USA lobbyist Paul Reichler, Correa has agreed to lie a lot to the U.S. government about their relationships with Iran, Hugo Chavez and the FARC in order to secure a U.S. taxpayer give away called an ATPDEA trade extension where no questions are asked and duty free trade is theirs for nothing in return. Nothing that is, except lies to the US government and the U.S. Trade Representatives. For its part, the U.S. Embassy in Quito and US AID calls this building friendships. We call it fraud.
 
Continuing to promote Rafael Correa as a decent trade partner for the USA is at its end game. For the last week, Correa has been pressured to step out from his current agreements with Fenton to keep his mouth shut so that Fenton can lie a lot and pretend that Correa is pro trade and pro USA when he is not so as to secure the blessings of the USA give aways. But Chavez had his margins called over his unaccountable PdVSA open wallet, called the unaccountable communist regime of Venezuela and Chavez needed his paid allies to stand with him in some bizarre political show of force to decry the USA and promote the Chavez game of dishonesty. Correa acted. Correa exposed his on going- what do they call it-? "sovereign" support for one of the globe's most pathetic leaders named Hugo Chavez, thus forever exposing himself as fully aligned with Hugo Chavez against all tenants of what the USA stands for. No comment from the U.S. Embassy in Quito which has egg/is covered in embarrassment for its dishonest, fully funded fawning, preening and financial support for the Correa-Chavez regime. The U.S. Democrats call Correa "an ally." We call him...needing to be gone.
 
Although NAFTA has produced almost all economic benefits for Mexico and almost every single new job opportunity for Mexicans...creating opportunities unknown for Mexicans before NAFTA, our intrepidly dishonest Rafael Correa staked his flawed and dishonest academic career on the lie that NAFTA actually hurt Mexicans by denying them jobs and denying economic growth for Mexico. Never one to blush about his life long dishonesty, Correa based his so called Ph.D. theorems/his "research" to prove this political point in favor of Marxism against free trade [which he abhors] on fake data and economic statistics from Mexico pre-NAFTA. Barack Hussein Obama agrees that NAFTA/free trade must go and the U.S. Democrats agree with Soros, the UN's International Labor Organization [ ILO] and Hugo Chavez that free trade hurts their socialist revival and actually helps citizens be happier and healthier/less dependant on the statist system and therefore, must end. But this is a recipe for Latin failure. As it is, Correa is a chronically manipulative and dishonest actor and has been lying ever since. Ecuadoreans call his manipulative dishonesty "normal." We remind that dysfunctional, manipulative dishonesty is not healthy for families, for nations or for trade agreements. In Ecuador the rewards go to the highest manipulator of reality. In the real world, such acts are viewed as disgusting and untenable. Have any actually openly studied Correa's "deals" with Chavez and Iran? To understand the fundamentals of Correa's dishonesty, study his "deals" with Iran and his Chavez "deals" and then try to discuss them openly. You will enjoy the same courtesies and protections afforded Ecuador's legitimate Congress: you will be forced in to silence at the point of a gun. And the U.S. Embassy in Quito will advise you to shut up because Correa, like Castro and Chavez, is just trying to "help the poor" and that the oligarchs are "evil."
 
But a new day of fact based reporting is underway as notably lacking the last two years regarding the reprehensible support for Iran, the FARC and dirty money and weapons movers across the Andes. We commend any and all fact based reporting because the media barons of Ecuador have surrendered their obligations to open speech to the same ethos that demands partial facts and delivers little more. Internationally, the only "news" about Ecuador derives from TELESUR and Castro's news agencies. By refusing to act responsibly against Correa and Chavez's media rackets, Ecuadoreans have surrendered their own nation to isolation, extortion and greed. Ecuador's media has been effectively frozen out by Correa to boost Chavez's monopolistic media companies- also called rackets- and legally called Iranian News and TELESUR. Like so many Ecuadorean businessmen of late, the media mavens illicitly believe that if they surrender their obligations to their share holders and their public and commit to the Protection Rackets proffered by Correa and his Cuban-Venezuelan thugs- also called Black Hand operatives- that Correa will leave them alone [sort of] and they will be able to survive. Protection rackets in nations where there are no courts, no legislature, no independent army and police and no accountability is what Correa calls a good manipulative deal. We call it criminal.
 
Colombia's EL TIEMPO this week ran the accurate headlines that Nicaragua's Ortega and Ecuador's Correa are fully aligned with Hugo Chavez to create harm to Colombia. Indeed they are and indeed all three leaders co ordinate with the same pro-Cuba lobbyist named the Moss boys' favorite lobbyist Reichler and the pro and do drugs gang's favorite Fenton Communications, itself extremely active the last two weeks of January, 2008 to secure that special off the books deal with Harry Reid and Blasco Peñaherrera to pretend that Correa is not in bed with the FARC, to squeeze Colombia even more, and lie a lot to the U.S. government and the people of Ecuador...in order to help Reichler, Fenton-Soros [and of course Hugo Chavez]  to help their other clients called Chavez, Soros and the do drugs crowd.
 
We continue to hope for a full Senate Ethics Review of Harry Reid and his closed door, illegal deals with agents of Chavez's mischief but with Barack Hussein Obama's campaign soothing all neo Marxists and promising that Cuba and CHE! will be revered, we can only watch the U.S. Democratic Party prepare for its Soros-backed surrender to dysfunctional dishonesty.
 
As for responsible reporting, which seems to not occur in Ecuador any more to swim neatly with its irresponsible electorate- preferring to remain on permanent adolescent shopping sprees, we turn to Bloomberg’s again which reported this week that yes indeed- Ecuadoreans are on a permanent shopping mall adventure while Ecuador suffers a collapse of anything useful or honestly sold on the world's markets. Ecuador has no exports that will save its economy because Rafael Correa wants to hurt Ecuadorean businesses. "President Rafael Correa has said an increase of manufactured imports such as mobile telephones and cars is the largest threat to the Andean country's economy. As a result, the government has raised taxes and import duties on luxury cars, perfume, and other items. Imports climbed to $1.43 billion in December, almost four times the increase in exports, which rose 5.4 percent to $1.37 billion. “Because Ecuador makes nothing useful in main for its own consumers, the consumers import items. Correa has just added taxes on imported goods which will prohibit consumer choice and has essentially ended many freedoms, that is unless one is a tax exempted member of the Correa Black Hand politburo where not even Correa's high taxes apply. That is about 30% of all Ecuadoreans now under Correa and Chavez's Buyers Club of extorted and ostensibly protected neo communists. However, for the rest...misery and supply disruptions are frequent daily reminders of Correa's communism.
 
We are also hopeful that Harry Reid pays attention to Correa's acts: he is effectively positioning U.S. goods in to being barred from import -aka free trade- with Ecuador. To be sure, the local losers from Microsoft and IBM will not help report these facts because they believe that their profits will be safe under Correa because they have abandoned integrity for the protection rackets offered by Correa and Chavez. But ask the telephone, auto and pharmaceutical companies what Correa's new Import Plan really means and you get a different story. Correa has no interest in abiding by the ATPDEA tenants and has just once more abused the trade deal with the USA to kill global imports while enjoying Ecuadorean exports. Some deal.
 
Do take note of your brilliant discredited Marxist economist Correa who has just said that the "largest threat" to Ecuador's economy is the importation of cell phones and cars. Are you honest enough to note the inherent lie to all this? The biggest threat to Ecuador's economy is the very costly Correa himself who has stolen billions from the state treasury, cannot operate his way out of the Chavez-Iranian corner he has put himself in and does actually work daily under the protection rackets he welcomed called Cuban-Venezuelan operatives who  run his offices today. Correa has been fired from every job he has ever held. He should be fired from his current post. The Congress and the courts tried to perform their constitutional obligations to impeach Correa. they were ousted at the point of a gun for even making inquiries. Insulza of the OAS calls this a "vibrant democracy." The minions from US AID called the Soros-backed NGOs report that Ecuador must stand united against Uribe's positions of principle against the FARC. Ecuador's Correa agrees.

Shills for Chavez

February 12, 2008

By Douglas MacKinnon - "The more I see, the more I realize that almost no one really cares about right and wrong. They care about money and supporting anyone who opposes George W. Bush."

Over a coffee last week with a high-level official of our government, that was the comment made to me regarding the Hugo Chavez-Citgo-Joe Kennedy II propaganda campaign now running across our nation. In TV commercials and in full-page print advertising, former Rep. Joe Kennedy thanks "our good friends in Venezuela" for helping to heat America's poor.

Other than to accept blood money, the government official I spoke with was at a loss to understand why some in the American media would run ads by a thug who exploits and ignores the poor in his nation, creates fear in the region and is, as a major newspaper just described him, an ally to terrorists, drug traffickers and mass murderers.

Clearly, like Bolshevik revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, Venezuelan strongman Chavez has found his "useful idiots" in the guise of Mr. Kennedy; actors Sean Penn and Danny Glover; Democratic Reps. William Delahunt of Massachusetts and Jose Serrano of New York; and the sycophant he has installed to run Citgo here in the United States. All sing his praises, all do his bidding, and all shame themselves with their self-serving actions.

Those facilitating the Chavez-Citgo propaganda campaign — be it the above-mentioned or the likes of Major League Baseball, ESPN, the Indy Car series or numerous U.S. charities — need to ask themselves a question: Would they be doing the same thing for the governments of Saddam Hussein, Pol Pot, Idi Amin or even Adolf Hitler? Those who think this question is a stretch know next to nothing of the history of Hugo Chavez.

Speak with the governments of Colombia and Mexico. They will tell you that Mr. Chavez is not only funding various guerrilla movements in the region; he is also extending his power throughout Latin America, either directly with arms and military assistance or by bribing weak or needy leaders with oil or cash. One such example is the $800,000 in cash brought to Argentina on behalf of the government of Venezuela in the form of an illegal campaign contribution meant for now Argentinian President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.

Those who naively support Mr. Chavez need to understand that his money truly is "blood money." This is a man who twice as a junior officer in 1992 tried to orchestrate a coup against the legally elected government of Venezuela. Who really knows how many innocent people were killed by Mr. Chavez and his followers during those coup attempts?

Should those who support Mr. Chavez and his various propaganda campaigns think "those murders were a long time ago so they shouldn't really count anymore," then maybe recent history will prove more relevant and chilling. According to our own State Department, the human rights violations in the Venezuela of today include unlawful killings, disappearances involving security forces, torture, the abuse of detainees, arbitrary arrests and continued attacks on the independent media.

Beyond that, in late 2006, the House Committee on Homeland Security outlined why our U.S. military and intelligence officials believe that Venezuela is emerging as a "hub of terrorism" in the Western Hemisphere. The report stated that Mr. Chavez is providing support — including documents — that could prove useful to radical Islamic groups. The report detailed how the Venezuelan government had issued thousands of cedulas — the equivalent of U.S. Social Security cards — to a number of suspect nations, including Middle East nations that host foreign terrorist organizations.

As U.S. citizens, companies and media outlets assist Mr. Chavez or happily take his money, they should also ask themselves why thousands of supporters of Hezbollah — the terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction of Israel and the United States — gleefully carry Mr. Chavez's picture through the streets of Lebanon? Why do they love him so?

In a sad and telling bit of irony, as Mr. Chavez sends his oil to the poor of the United States, his own people are going without milk, eggs, rice, toilet paper and basically every other staple. As they suffer from Latin America's highest inflation rates, they are forced to line up for hours or even days just to find and buy the necessities needed to feed themselves and their children.

Knowing that, why don't Joe Kennedy and all those who support the Chavez-Citgo oil program here sell the oil they get from Venezuela on the open market, and then use that money to buy food for the people of Venezuela?

That, or they could simply stop shilling for one of the world's leading terrorists.

----------

There it is- in all its glory. We do not know this author but we at ECrisis have been critical of these Chavez-paid shills for hatred and dishonesty for a long time. We reject the current political propaganda that the only savior from the Soros-paid campaigns of hatred will come from the cult like religious leadership of Soros's own Obama and those who will advance more dishonesty. While Obama will truly turn off the Soros hate rhetoric because he is a Soros man, Obama's essential quality is neither honest nor forthcoming because he is the Soros savior to what Soros crafted. And none of this has anything to do with real politics or real spirituality. It has to do with foolishly accepting greed and propaganda. Noteworthy is the quote, ""The more I see, the more I realize that almost no one really cares about right and wrong. They care about money and supporting anyone who opposes George W. Bush."  To be sure, the expenditure of billions and billions of dollars in the Hate Bush campaign, funded mostly by...what does Insulza call him... a statesman?...Soros, has been effective to the point where `highly placed State Department officials credit the Hate campaign as installing a culture of greed, dishonesty and a time and place where ` almost no one really cares about right and wrong.' To be sure, State Department, US AID and the OAS, not to mention the completely dysfunctional United Nations have themselves to blame for they have merged in every essential way with the very soul of the current Hate Campaigns which seeks to immortalize greed, dishonesty and propaganda. Sounds like every Ecuadorean housewife’s dream state: greed, manipulation and addiction to undereducation with service to none and charity non existent. But none of this is helpful or productive.
 
As such, the current American shill for Chavez, Joe Kennedy is a liar. Contrary to Kennedy's money making business- called propaganda for profit, Hugo Chavez is not a good friend to America. And all who work for Chavez are not good friends to anyone but themselves....and communism. The shocking revelation that a State Department official would suddenly notice that their own Soros actors, running their show in most zones now, would be sickened by the end of integrity, funded as it is by Soros, is the only surprise in the MacKinnon piece. We can hope that the U.S. government stops fronting for these campaigners of misinformation, greed and avarice. We can also hope that the hundreds of paid Chavez agents are rounded up and sent packing from the USA soon. We can pray that Ecuador does the same thing. Somehow we think the Ecuadorean Mamas of dysfunction, greed and ignorance will manipulate the retention of Correa. Such are the Housewives of Ecuador: vain, stupid, selfish in the extreme, uncharitable, greedy, often physically abused by their loving spouses, overtly religious but inwardly ineffective, excessively nervous [by design to control matters at hand], dishonest, manipulative and undereducated. It is no recipe for success. Worse yet- they are known for what they are and what they are...remaining solid partners in the indefensible criminal adventures that Chavez and Correa install. There is no way out for these manipulative masters of home, religion, and school... and now politics. Their enabling plans of manipulation have brought disease and dishonor to the very homes they claim to defend.
 
What we have in Ecuador and in Venezuela today is a cancer by any other name. It is defined. It is diagnosed and it is real. Rather than pretending that it is far more advantageous to abandon ethics to the Greed is Good theory taught by most Mamas and neo Marxists now, far better to restore lives of integration and flexibility to perform life's tasks of the 21st Century rather than abandoning the future to the retreats of communist manipulations. Worse yet is the new craze born by paid Chavez activists that it is far far more advantageous to keep the devils you know- Correa and Chavez- than abandon their criminal empires for a possible shake up. This is the height of moral relativism, taught by our own families now and carried aloft by the Chavez crusaders. In Ecuador, this is called making the Faustian deal with Correa, recently seen by the so called Gang of 80 businessmen who sold out the rest of their nation for their own greed to devise Correa's protection rackets in swap for destroying their competitors, sometimes called the rest of the country. Do you know what Correa offered these "business leaders" and what they accepted for protection?
 
We know that Ecuador is a FARC-laced narcodemocracy because its murder and crime rates are the world's worst. We know that Correa and Chavez are lying because Chavez has just ordered all his PdVSA state monies run through UBS Bank in Switzerland to hide his money from creditors. Honest people do not hide from the law. Correa and Chavez do. Correa's own Chiriboga has been summoned to Venezuela ostensibly to `discuss the future of bi-lateral investment treaties.'

In other words, what the Correa-Chavez team will do to stiff international rule of law again.
 
Do you know what legal protection under the law and the courts looks like today in Ecuador? Answer:  it looks like the FARC rackets.

This week, one of Iran's top activists Imad Mughniyeh was killed in Syria. This man was a headstrong agent for Iran's foot soldiers of terror called Hezbollah. He was active in killing a lot of people in Argentina in the last decade and a lot of people in Israel and Lebanon. Thanks to Hugo Chavez and Rafael Correa, the re run of Lebanon is underway across Ecuador, converting it into a lawless nation where Lebanese style bankers of money laundering activities, state backed media and no democracy whatsoever panders to the public's demands for more and more manipulation. We do not know to what ends this Lebanon economic model of dishonesty serves Ecuador but we do know that what created Lebanon in to the lawless state of criminal anarchy under which is suffers today- an empty bombed out zone of fake everything- is unbearable. But Ecuadoreans seem to think that copying Lebanon's recipe for disaster is admirable, especially if there is something in there for them. When something for nothing is instructed as the highest value in life: look out. Deception is on the line. What we do know is that Ecuadoreans can study current affairs and review Rafael Correa's mergers with Iran...before it is too late. No excuse for failing to review the facts satisfies.
 
Have you reviewed Iran's deals with Correa and Chavez lately? It is your obligation.
