September 27, 2008    ECrisis has been stating the facts about the Correa communist manifesto for months. Consistently we have pressed for a basic analysis of this screed, written mostly by Sr. Viciano Pastor of the European REDS group, currently penning even more constitutional assaults out of his active sub set of non-constitutional scholars based in Caracas. These activists, couched behind human rights, are hard core communists, EURO REDS of the old Stasi trained sort and quite afflicted with the inherent capacity to lie a lot. They have found a perfect home in Quito where they have been busy for some years now, jetting in and out while crafting more legislative mayhem in La Paz, Caracas, Nicaragua and just about everywhere Hugo Chavez and his Russo-Iranian cartel cabal of criminals cast their gaze of greed to enable spot oil traders, extortionists and Russian speculators, previously called communists. But in Ecuador there can no longer be confusion about who and what these actors are: they are communist drug legalizing criminal cartel runners of the worst sort.
 
In the last century, South Africa broke apart. Its own citizens knew very well that racial apartheid has evil and yet refused to modernize until it was too late. In the highly lauded break up of South Africa, even worse corruption and failed national norms have debased the promise of freedom under its current Marxist-corrupt leadership. Alan Patton movingly wrote of the love of this beloved and beautiful land, its self-justifying denial of rights and the abandonment of Africa's leaders to rally behind essential charity, consideration for all groups or life's essentials. In the end, South Africa's leaders remained addicted to their stubborn manipulation of racial rights and caused their own demise. In Ecuador today, few cry the beloved country as Patton did. In fact, we are hard pressed to find someone- anyone- who stands for Ecuador and its potential. They have been seduced today by the worst sub set of morals: the so called Opposition has succumbed to the bone-marrow chilling dictates that they abandon integrity, surrender all valor and shutter every commitment to freedom in order...to go shopping somewhere-anywhere, which their family values call personal freedom- the freedom to select which shopping  center to attend. The Correa-Chavez team has driven a stake easily in to this vain, lazy and irresponsible previously vibrant so called Opposition because....they have failed themselves and this nation to stand for anything principled.
 
To be sure, the Rafael Correa's constitution is a communist thing of unending misery and legalizes everything that should never be legalized.
For its part, the United States has contributed mightily- and criminally- to supporting this communist manifesto.
Breaking even Ecuador's nascent non-campaign laws close to the vote [which Correa himself broke by appearing on international TV yesterday in a global campaign set piece- even though he appears in need of the Los Angeles Police visual narcotics abuse detection team as he consistently looks like he is snorting cocaine: has anyone drug tested this communist lately or is it still....his adjustments to lithium?] the Carter Center blessed the Correa constitution vote.
 
Of all the lies and all the cheap shots that Carter could gin up to justify Correa's communism, read it here  and watch the interview. ..The Carter Center is so dishonest that it encourages Correa's communism because it will install new institutions in Ecuador. The Carter Center belongs in jail for massive voter fraud in this essential scam. Correa's constitution in no way gifts this nation with institutional stability: it enshrines this land as a communist narcostate of and for criminals and perverts while declaring with a certainty that Ecuador is Going Out of Business- legitimate business- for decades to come.
 
"El jefe de la misión observadora del Centro Carter, Francisco Diez, indica que “el país necesita un proceso de reinstitucionalización, de instituciones que sostengan el proceso de democracia, de desarrollo, y de justicia social”. Añade que “es importante que se     piense en la posibilidad de una legislación que ponga reglas claras para el juego de las campañas electorales”. Diez menciona que “el gobierno nacional ha tenido capacidad de hacer una campaña muy intensa; en el plano local algunos de los alcaldes, especialmente en Guayaquil, ha sido también así”.    
     
You may remember this overpaid Francisco Diez, currently ensconced in US AID/U.S tax payer funded lush, antiseptic offices in Quito without the common sense god gave a dog and currently blessing Correa's new narcozone. Mr. Diez, who has no functional set of skills to even remotely comment on democracy, freedom, constitutions and "institutions" does now boldly  decree that Ecuador's institutions were so bad that Ecuadoreans must now replace everything, previously called rule of law and democracy, with Correa's Andean bloc for communist cartels. Mr. Diez, a Bolivian activist knows this because he blessed the 2004 Venezuelan referenda to oust Chavez by vote. Mr. Diez lied then as he does today and informed the globe that Chavez's democracy was alive and well and that all voting in Venezuela was free and fair. For this, he and his Carter Center lied a lot and were paid, as they are today, a lot of money. The U.S. Department of State has much explaining to do as to why they recycled this gaggle of liars, debased for fraud in Venezuela already, to sell us the fraud that Correa's constitution is needed when it is not.
   
Here are excerpts of Sr. Diez lying a lot in 2005 about Chavez's democracy:

What's the biggest achievement of The Carter Center in helping to prevent and resolve conflict in Venezuela?

Jennifer McCoy: ... I think the most important thing that has happened is peace has been preserved.

Francisco Diez: It's also important to note there are more and more Venezuelans taking on the task of facilitation and bridge-building between segments in conflict-groups like Aquí Cabemos Todos, Fortalecer la Paz en Venezuela, the collective group Paz en Movimiento, and Ojo Electoral. This wouldn't have occurred two years ago with the same visibility, diversity, and energy that we're seeing today.

What new elements and methods did The Carter Center bring to the table during the past two years to reduce political and social polarization in Venezuela?

McCoy: The first step was to establish the Tripartite Working Group with the Organization of American States and the United Nations Development Programme. This initiative paved the way for some very fruitful cooperation. We also established ties of trust and community among all sectors, not just in Venezuela but on the international scene as well.

Diez: We also realized that negotiation at the highest political levels, although vital, wasn't going to be enough to heal political and social divisions. We found it was necessary to promote a broad-based peace-building process. The Fortalecer la Paz en Venezuela program worked with hundreds of facilitators, leaders, reporters, and various social groups in favor of peace. They worked to dismantle the "wall of contention," avoiding bloodshed in the country, and they are the ones who are going to continue to help transform the social dynamic in Venezuela.

Which conditions do you believe are necessary to continue strengthening peace in Venezuela?

Diez: I think it's an ongoing job, for the midterm as well as the long-term. It requires strong local actors who are deeply committed to democracy and peace and who are fully committed to their social responsibilities. The world has its eye on Venezuela, and it can be a model for social transformation in peace and democracy, or it can become enmeshed in permanent conflict with no end in sight. Tolerance, broadmindedness, clarity, and strength of spirit are required.

What kinds of problems did you encounter in your activities as mediator, facilitator, and observer, Mr. Diez?

Diez: It was a big challenge and the source of some tension, because a facilitator or mediator can't judge, while an observer is obligated to judge, in a way. However, it was always clear to me I had two roles: first, to facilitate negotiations for as long as the parties wanted to negotiate-even though the topic of the negotiations was the electoral process-and second, to observe the process when they were entering into electoral competition, where some would win and others lose. I did this, but I know that in the eyes of some, the roles were not separate, but one and the same. The fact that I've been attacked from both sides, and still have good friends on both sides, is a good indicator to me that I did my job as an objective third party.

What are some dangers to Venezuelan democracy now, and what will The Carter Center do to keep reinforcing democratic institutions in that country?

Diez: Democracy is endangered when dialogue and negotiation disappear, when the checks and balances that characterize democracy as a system are eliminated. These are favorable circumstances for authoritarian, violent segments who look for openings to exploit weaknesses and don't want to listen to the voice of the people or respect a country's institutions. One of the problems for democracy, not just in Venezuela but across Latin America as well, is that the other side is always to blame, and if you place the blame, that seems to solve the problem. Of course, that isn't so. You've got to have a broad consensus to move forward. That's why the work that has been done with community-based groups, teachers, reporters, and nongovernmental organizations in the Fortalecer la Paz in Venezuela is so important.

What does all this double talk mean? What does it have to do with Ecuador? It has a lot to do with a lot of things. First of all, Ecuadoreans should have booted this Mr. Diez out long ago and requested a functional truth teller but Ecuadoreans are too afraid that they will not be invited to the U.S. ambassador's annual Fourth of July cocktail party to do anything useful. Second- all Ecuadoreans need to study and act responsibly. If you do not grasp the concept that Venezuela today is a hell hole of its own making and that nothing- nothing at all- from this Carter Center analysis on peace and love from Chavez is meaningful- then you are helplessly in need of education.
 
But the fraud perpetrated by US AID, the U.S. Embassy in Quito, and Tom Shannon's Department of State to lie a lot to Ecuadoreans and North Americans is one thing. The capacity of Ecuadoreans to defraud themselves and debase their own persons with the kind of nation-ending strategy inherent in the Correa-Morales-Chavez-Russo-Iranian manifesto to be voted on tomorrow is not to be born.
 
While the embarrassing, enabling denizens of the United State of America's functionaries at State Department and US AID seriously wants to believe the pro Chavez and pro Castro Paul Reichler and the Soros-Barack Obama public relations team called Fenton Communications' lies that Correa is fabulous and Ecuador is fabulous, the facts reveal a different story than what these overpaid lobbyists, double agents, propagandists and spot oil traders portray.
 
Parroting the dishonest Carter Center, here is another US AID-Soros man to tell us that communism's stability  if more preferable than freedom: " `At the very least, Correa is providing a measure of stability,' says Michael Shifter, vice president of the Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington-based think tank."
Again- a fraudulent misuse of U.S. tax dollars to sell the propaganda that the iron fist of Correa's total control, correctly called fascism, is "a measure of stability." Under Correa's proposed constitution, all facets of human life will be "stabilized" under Correa's iron fist...with no way out and no chance for dissent. Selling stability as an excuse to craft a communist narcozone is a fraudulent abuse of privilege, even by Michael Shifter and the Carter Center who owe the USA's Shannon much more than their standard garbage.
 
No one can read Correa's constitution and not agree with the even tepid and very very loose analysis as seen in today's WALL STREET  JOURNAL: 
 
 
SEPTEMBER 27, 2008
Ecuador Seems Likely to Clear Constitution
By JOHN LYONS
Ecuador is set to approve its third constitution in about a decade, strengthening a president who has vowed to lift up the poor by nationalizing industries and by wiping out the country's traditional political party system.
 
The constitution, which polls show will be approved handily in a referendum Sunday, would allow President Rafael Correa to seek re-election while giving him a hammerlock on the courts and the power to dissolve the legislature.

Critics say the proposed constitution concentrates too much power in the hands of Mr. Correa, an ally of Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez. "You will have a president operating without checks and balances," said Adrián Bonilla, a director of the Quito-based Flacso think tank.

Mr. Correa, a 45-year-old economist trained in Belgium and the U.S., was elected in 2006 amid a wave of dissatisfaction with income inequality that propelled politicians promising radical changes into power across the region.

By seeking to rewrite the constitution, Mr. Correa took a page from Mr. Chávez, who expanded his powers in a new constitution after taking office in 1999. Bolivian President Evo Morales, also an ally of Mr. Chávez, also is pushing for a vote on a new constitution.

Mr. Correa is faring better than his counterparts in Bolivia and Venezuela, where economic troubles and increasingly feisty oppositions are placing limits on their power. The opposition to Mr. Correa has remained scattered and he remains popular in a country that recently has averaged a new president about every two years.

"At the very least, Correa is providing a measure of stability," says Michael Shifter, vice president of the Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington-based think tank.

Once the constitution is approved, Ecuador will hold new elections. Mr. Correa would be eligible for two new terms, meaning he could stay in power until 2017 with no new constitutional changes.

The victory may embolden Mr. Correa's abrasive foreign policy: He has promised to turn the U.S. out of a military base it operates on Ecuador's coast, and has said he might stiff foreign creditors to raise cash for the poor.

Under the new constitution, Mr. Correa will have wider latitude to push economic initiatives, including monetary policy. Mr. Correa is a longtime foe of Ecuador's use of the U.S. dollar as its official currency -- a decision adopted to stabilize the economy after a financial crisis a decade ago -- and some expect him eventually to ditch the dollar.

ECrisis wants you to know that not once have any of these overpaid, vapid US AID progenitors of the Soros dream for narcozones in the Andes have studied this constitution. These liars have been selling the blessings of democracy fraudulently for years and have now reached their nadir.

It will take a miracle for the NO! vote to win on Sunday. Why the USA poured tens and tens of millions in to crafting and blessing this new narcostate and its communist bloc constitution is disgraceful, indicating the criminal cartel behaviors of the Soros-Chavez-Russo-Iranian bloc of actors. In the USA, Senator Chris Dodd and all his Venezuelan spot oil trading pals want you to know that constitutions matter nothing. State Department in Washington agrees. So too does Rafael Correa who insisted that no one- no one at all- needs to review what it is they are voting on. The WALL STREET JOURNAL today embarrasses its own high standards for journalism by reprinting the neo communist scribblings to soft sell lies about what Correa's constitution is all about. This is disgraceful for a soundly respectable newspaper.

We say: if you do not know what is in this constitution, then you must vote no. If you don't know, you must vote no.

In the meantime, know this: no constitution past 30 pages exists for 1st and 2nd tier functioning nations. But Ecuadoreans have been handed hundreds of pages of garbage. You can grasp the concept that Ecuador votes itself in to failed nation zone with such an overarching, badly written manifesto. You can reject this murky stew of legalizing all that should never be legalized...tomorrow. You can insist on a better constitution. You can also amend the extant constitution and are not forced to vote YES, no matter what your broken Ecuadorean family values tell you that it is far better to give in to extortion [or go shopping in Miami] than to stand for principles.

VOTE no! tomorrow and tell Correa you do NOT want his cartel running Ecuador...through 2017.
