VOTE NO to Communism
 
August 31, 2008  Rafael Correa has pronounced that Adam Smith is dead- no longer welcome in Ecuador. Of course he has rolled out the welcome mat for every criminal and every dirty actor in the universe while proclaiming that neo liberalism had a long night and it is now over. In other words, mankind's highest and best enlightened steps to elevating quality of life is now banished/barred/killed and carted out from Ecuador to make way for every vermin that crawls, including Iran's money laundering liars, Chavez's Russo-Iranian bedmates and the FARC's play toys, also called kidnappers, murderers and thieves. We know this because Correa has released all drug dealers from prison and promised that one and all are welcome to Ecuador- a new fools' paradise of crime. Ecuadoreans call this Family Values. We call it....criminal.
 
Correa's so called constitution ushers in a dictatorship of criminals. Contrast that awful screed and how Correa ruins Ecuador to a brilliant piece from England here which we slightly edit:
 
"Let the...people do what they do best - getting on with it. Adam Smith described how they did it.
Get government out of their way. This problem has been significantly worsened by ... excessive taxation, excessive spending, intensely controlling, top-down attempts to run the economy. [The government's] unnatural, interfering ways have hurt the economy.

An economy cannot be run by one man or thirty men or three hundred. A free economy under the rule of law responds to millions of different ideas. It is a living, breathing whole. When it is commanded or commandeered, it sickens and dies.

Do not let government try to control this crisis. Government control helped to get Britain into this problem.

Let the wisdom of people and the wisdom of a free people's economy do their work.

The more money that government inhales, the less there is for the people to start new businesses and create jobs.

Reduce taxes to stimulate the economy and create jobs.

Reduce government expenditures.

Figure out the best ways to increase energy independence.

Say goodbye to [Bolivarianism] with its overregulation, statism, high tariffs and high costs...which comes out of the pocket of every ... taxpayer. Every taxpayer would have a gift of money if [Ecuador] left the [Bolivarian trap] directly.

Every one pays higher costs because the cost of everything is higher than it should be due to [mismanaged budgets and] tariffs. Leaving the [Correa plan] will reduce costs for ... families, while trade with ...the rest of the world continues and expands.

When Adam Smith talked about the people's free economy he also spoke about fairness and equity. He expected the government to prevent monopolies and to prosecute dishonest businessmen. He emphasized the importance of values such as honesty and self-discipline. What I hope I have suggested is that the people have the imagination and wisdom and energy and inventiveness to put things right, but they have to tell this government to b--- off. "

There you have it. A road map for success for Ecuador. We however wasted a lot of time pouring over what was called, “These thoughtful essays, which concur in some respects and diverge in others, provide important insights about where the Correa administration might be headed"  sent our way from the Inter American Dialogue which wasted a lot of the Ford Foundation monies, seen here.

Called Two Perspectives on Ecuador by Cesar Montufar and Adrian Bonilla, their sole intent is to not frighten anyone away from the ongoing structural destruction of Ecuador which both men blithely pass over in a few scant paragraphs while ostensibly telling us how Ecuador got to this moment in history.

While we link to this so called research, we know with a certainty that nothing in this screed is worthwhile except the stunning awareness that this work is vainly useless and wastes a lot of time and money. Not one of the above listed suggestions or analyses are dealt with by these two men who are rolled in to the USA from time to time to tell us about Ecuador. They know better and the USA deserves better.

Meanwhile, claiming he was "too busy with Correa" Hugo Chavez refused diplomatic reciprocity last week to a US cabinet official. Caught with breaking the Vienna Conventions, Chavez has just released a formal statement of utter propaganda claiming that the US official needs to stay in the USA because he has work to do....not that this is Chavez's right to decide anything. And to make matters even more bizarre- because Chavez broke diplomatic relations by refusing entree to a Cabinet official for his toying around with Correa, Chavez comes today to remand the US ambassador to Caracas to be prepared to pack his bags even as he blasts the US drug czar, who carries the rank of a Cabinet official. The cabinet official charged as stupid by Chavez is a man of competence and respect by all Americans- all that is of course except the FARC loving Sorosites and Obama-ites who want drugs legalized and the US DEA/law enforcement banished. Hugo Chavez is spoiling for a fight again but at the heart of it is a depraved and immature idiot who seeks a cover up for his own criminal acts...with Rafael Correa and all their vermin. Here are Chavez's professionals attacking John Walters:
