February 23, 2008    Never one to be honest and always the leader of manipulative behaviors for all Ecuadoreans [a national addiction] el jefe Correa has launched his most cynical and dishonest effort to date. Correa is spending millions to remind Ecuadoreans to lie a lot and smile even though their nation is in ruins.

Ecuadoreans, already cheerfully deceitful and manipulative, have agreed that Correa's new SMILE! campaign represents their highest values: deception and dishonesty.
 
With absolutely nothing to smile about, Ecuador has seen 1/3 of its nation flee for better opportunities while doing nothing to make better their own lost nation. Ecuador is the globe's murder capitol and crime, like morals, has run amuck. Correa's own cabinet of communists have no interest in accountability and lie consistently. There is no democracy in Ecuador. There are no real judges or courts: all bow to Correa's dictates. There is no legislature outside of Correa's bought and sold proxies operating in Montecristi. There are no economic freedoms in Ecuador except for the few already engaged in extortion and protection schemes cooked up by Correa, such as Banco del Pichincha's Fidel Egas who has just swapped his obligation to free media viz TV for Correa's protection rackets for his dirty banking business. This story is repeated hundreds of times each month in Ecuador.
 
But Correa is paying big money to lie a lot and tell the world that all is happy inside his Cuban-style communist paradise. His own lobbyists, diplomats, military and newly bribed business circles are on the job to lie some more. And now the entire nation, which should know better, will gleefully SMILE because Correa tells them to.
 
There is nothing to smile about in Ecuador. It is today a failed state under a communist plan, promoted by Correa, co written by Chavez's Sr. Viciano Pastor and coordinated with Cuba's heavily paid agents of intelligence, called spies.
 
Correa has just said that there will be about 8 Venezuelan oil rigs in the Amazon jungle region for about 78 more new well sites. He says that they are leased from Chavez at about 1/4 to 1/3 their normal lease price, complete with operators, managers and accountants- all operating costs included. In other words this new slight of hand ponzi scheme is indeed a pass through oil account for Chavez from Rafael Correa to benefit Chavez. With no actual comparisons for pricing permitted by Chavez or Correa, competitive pricing is forbidden as profits for oil once again elude Ecuadoreans. Then again, we remind all to study the actual terms of the deal- sometimes called Chavez's take over of Ecuador and sometimes called Chavez and Correa mutual control of Ecuador's oil- and study the actual written contracts with Iran and Chavez. Do not take our analysis: make your own. Of course neither Iran or Chavez nor Correa will release real contracts for public review. The same is true of Ecuador's budgets, Correa and Chavez's work with the FARC, and the complete operational picture. Smile!
 
Like Correa's fake new religion, his fake new outfits, and his fake abuse of symbols, shamans and foolishness, Correa promotes fraud. This is nothing to smile about.  Just ask the poor flood victims today: victims of Correa's incompetency as these victims just seem to wash away from public concern while all SMILE! Correa promises to revere, worship and replicate Fidel Castro's disgusting place called Cuba, where only the inner politburo grows rich and all the rest serve the "sovereign" - that is politburo of self enrichment schemes- as serfs/slaves to the state.
 
Fidel Castro [who may or may not be dead yet...another example of how dishonest Cuba is today] and now his dastardly brother Raul, wants you to embrace his vision of hell on earth as deified by Correa and smile with Correa's clowns:

Fidel Castro ...ordering you to smile:


An old song reminds us to let 'a smile be your umbrella.' This is a charming idea- a smile can turn away unhappiness and protect one from unpleasant downturns. The problem is.... in Ecuador there is no police protection for citizens, no courts, no habeas corpus, no rule of law/ no contract law, no integrity/ no honesty, no Congress and nothing except the Black Hand of Correa's money and power extortion rackets. No smile will be your umbrella to protect against the rising flood waters in Ecuador as too many are swept away. And while it is irresponsible to pretend that all Ecuadoreans can do nothing because there is no hope and nothing they can do against this Red Tide of naked aggression by Correa against his own freedom lovers, there is always hope if one is willing to be honest and abandon lives lived with total addictions to manipulative living.
 
In other words, to combat the dishonesty of Correa, Ecuadoreans must abandon the in house goal of living manipulatively and start being honest and straight forward. It is easier to surrender to the tender charms of Chavez and Correa extortion rackets than it is for most households in Ecuador to stand upright and be honest. They have nothing to smile about and have no one to blame but themselves. To smile about Correa's crimes and pretend that they do not exist when all know that they do is the ultimate in manipulative living and state-forced propaganda. If the truth means anything at all, it is time to start using it- every hour of each day.
 
With no real dental or health services across the country, we are wondering what all these toothless grins are going to start to look like but they will not be posters for good oral hygiene or the incompetent/inadequate Correa-state funded dental care. SMILE!
