June 1, 2008 Rafael Correa has seized Ecuador's commodities- its present, its past and its future. While this may make paid actors from Newmont Gold very happy in their dreams of jiggering yet another Andean gold deal, we remind that Rafael Correa is a dictator and not a very good one at that.

Any who do business with Correa are criminals. The same goes for Chavez. There- that was not so hard to say was it? Correa has just ordered that Ecuador's rice can only be sold to Chavez and no one else. He has summarily cut off Colombia, which he insists must lie about Correa's Ecuador or suffer the loss of Correa's cartel. For our part, we hope Uribe never sells the truth out short for a few bags of rice. With inflation rising [doubling] and price controls ordered by the lawless Correa communists, Ecuadoreans are hit again by this expensive gaggle of adolescents who continue to live large off of someone else's money and hard labor.
 
Here is another excuse for Rafael Correa taking full control of Ecuador's Central Bank: he wants the money flowing through his wallet.

Correa long ago tossed out the Bretton Woods treaty and has taken over full control of Ecuador's currency, credit, banking and now....all economic data because he falsely claims that the Central Bank was not running happy figures. From his point of view, the Central Bankers did not lie enough and thus Rafael Correa just granted himself the right [as if] to jigger all economic data and enshrine all unaccountability. Read about it here.

Like typhus and amoebas, poverty and price rigging are not supposed to happen in these Cuban communist paradises. But state theft does and is happening and impacts all of life today. Why? Greed. Here is the regional face [in Argentina now] face of Chavez and Correa today:

LA NACION.       

And if Chavez and the FARC's money to keep governments like Correa's in line is not enough, there is always dirty election rules that retain the communist party movements. Pre rigged elections with end games of fair play and open speech are not democratic. The MIAMI HERALD on 6-1-08 writes, "Amid grumbling by party faithful, Chávez engineered special rules to maximize his influence and ensure that his anointed candidates emerge victorious.

Chávez decreed that candidates could not run campaign ads in privately owned newspapers or television stations. Nor could they attack the other candidates. Both rules favor well-known candidates, such as Chávez's brother, Adán, a former minister of education who is on the ballot for governor of Barinas, the president's home state and where his father has been governor for the past eight years. "
 
Sound familiar? It is because this is what Correa and his Chavez and Cuban goons are doing in Ecuador...because you let them. And because you let them, you get what you enable: pre rigged elections which are not elections but manipulations and dishonest faux shows for impressing luminaries such as Jose Miguel Insulza, Jimmy Carter and previous boy Roger Noriega of the USA who continue to bless these messes when there is nothing to bless.

Each of these election blessing mess makers always have a stoolie to blame...always someone else is at fault. Insulza likes to blame the horrid US Republicans who just do not understand how it is, he tells us, in Latin America where the Latins actually want lawlessness and he-Insulza- will help them keep it that way and Carter who worked with the neo Marxists and Cisneros of Venezuela [now residing in Manhattan] to hide Hugo Chavez's vast election fraud and Roger Noriega who pretended that Carter and the OAS are fabulous when they are not. The upcoming autumnal elections in Latin America will solidify the installation of the Soros-backed neo Marxist constitutions and local electeds. None of these items should be supported by anyone with a brain.

Hugo Chavez is called a lothario- a lover- for his out of wedlock children and past romances in the TIMES of London today: "Fernandez, a former sailor in the merchant marine, carries a photograph of Chavez with his mother, Carmen Fernandez, who told her son of the identity of his father after suffering heart problems in 2001.

The couple met in the late 1970s when Chavez was a young army officer based in the city of Maracay. True to his reputation as a lothario, Chavez went out with Carmen while he was also dating Nancy Colmenares, who would later become his first wife. When Fernandez discovered that his father was Venezuela’s president, he wrote numerous letters to the presidential palace, pursued other Chavez relatives and even joined the audience of Alo Presidente (Hello, Mr President), the television chat show that Chavez hosts on Sundays. He has never received a reply, even after he contacted Rosario Frias, Chavez’s aunt, who took to him immediately. “She loves me a lot,” he said. But he also admitted that Chavez’s mother, Elena Frias, did not yet believe that he was her grandson."
 
Here is the Latin lothario- dishonest in all his life:



In order to help Chavez and help himself, Correa, el presidente, has decreed, without so much as a by your leave, that no rice- NO MAS ARROZ! for Colombia and that all rice from Ecuador will only be sold to Chavez's subsidized food stocks. This does not help consumers. This does not help farmers. This does not help free market movements although it does break the tenants of the US ATPDEA deals and the WTO. This does help Correa and Chavez help their rackets, also called their governments and also called agents of criminal racketeering, which is what these two governments are today, with no thanks at all to the hapless American, Linda Jewell.
