October 5, 2008   As we detailed yesterday, Rafael Correa is a dangerous man as president. He might have been more benign had he continued in his flawed economic professorship spewing silly Marxist political ideologies in place of functional economics but as with all his career moves, he was fired for dishonesty/lying from that job also. Criminal behaviors are not a pretty sight. But Correa wants you to believe that nothing is ever his fault even though he himself is a failure.

Here is Rafael Correa lying... a lot about Alvaro Uribe:
 
La furia de Correa por el Comunicado de ayer de Álvaro Uribe
12:38 pm | 04 Oct 2008 |Noticias 24

El presidente de Ecuador, Rafael Correa, tildó el sábado de “grosero” e “insolente” al comunicado de Colombia en el que anunció que el mandatario Alvaro Uribe no asistirá a la cumbre de la CAN, prevista para el 14 de octubre en Guayaquil, por falta de “condiciones mínimas”.

And Correa, like all adolescent narcissists, stamps his little feet, stages a temper tantrum and demands total obedience to his demands. Most children are denied their tantrums but never Correa. But you can say NO! to this dictator.

This news wire story reveals much of Correa's reprehensible modus operandi: Oct. 4 (Bloomberg) -- "Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa said he may expel foreign oil producers, including Spain's biggest energy company, Repsol YPF, and Brazil's state-owned Petroleo Brasileiro SA, because of declining production. The companies, particularly Petrobras, as the Rio de Janeiro-based Brazilian company is known, have dragged their feet in contract negotiations in which Correa wants a greater share of oil income, he said today in his first regular Saturday address after almost two-thirds of voters approved a new constitution he had proposed.

`Don't play with fire,' he said. `Invest and recover production or you will leave the country.' Correa wants the companies to agree to be paid for producing the oil, rather than the current terms under which they share in the revenue up to a set price. The new constitution strengthens the government's role in areas of the economy including transportation and energy. `Now, more than ever, we have the democratic legitimacy to demand that these companies comply with the country,' Correa said. Several companies, including Repsol and Petrobras, in August agreed to start negotiating a switch to the payment model favored by the government within 12 months. Foreign oil companies account for close to half of Ecuador's daily production of close to 500,000 barrels of crude oil. If Petrobras fails to reach an agreement ``soon,'' Ecuador would take over its fields, Correa said. `If they take too long I'll nationalize their fields and they'll leave the country.' "

It is past time to keep a roster of state-backed harassment, illegal theft/seizures [caducidad] and/or threatened take-overs:

    REPSOL

    PetroBras

    Chevron TEXACO

    OCCIDENTAL

    America Movil

    Odebrecht

    The Isaias family holdings

    The Catholic Church in Ecuador

    Mauricio Pinto's manufacturing businesses

    The US Base at Manta [refused to continue contract]

    The entire port and airport in the municipality of Guayaquil

    Majority of Ecuador's private media

    Alvaro Noboa

    Peñafiel family

Rafael Correa is a ruinous disaster in leading his nation, which he has single handedly guided in to a failed state, currently ranked as one of the globe's deadliest and most corrupt and least transparent. But Correa cares nothing about this. But he does care a lot about protecting his fake reputation, We note that he is a complete liar. Here again from Bloombergs: "Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa said President Alvaro Uribe of Colombia won't attend a summit of four Andean countries this month to protest comments Correa made in an interview. The decision shows Colombia doesn't want to re-establish diplomatic ties that were severed in March, Correa said in his regular Saturday address. `President Uribe, if you don't want to come, don't, we won't miss you,' he said. `Fix your guerrilla and drug trafficking problems alone because you're the one who has these problems.' Correa currently holds the presidency of the Andean Community, which includes Bolivia and Peru along with Colombia and Ecuador." As with all selfish narcissists, Correa believes he alone holds the non-negotiable capacity to make decisions based on what he thinks is good for him and him alone and never considers the good of the nation. He despises Alvaro Uribe who, unlike the United States, will not play games with Correa and pretend that Correa does not harbor and promote the FARC when he as leader of Ecuador does. Uribe knows well, unlike the US Congressional Democrats, that Correa and his paid liars, are untruthful that they are some mythical partner against drugs when the nation under Correa clearly is not. If Correa were against drugs [and deserving of the US ATPDEA trade benefits] he would work with the US DEA, the US military, the UN's counter drugs teams and Uribe of Colombia. He would also restore the base at Manta and give back the FARC millions paid to him alone for his election and then as protection monies. Correa would not permit money laundering or narcotics labs and trans shipments. But Correa permits all this and lies about it...as he does everything he touches. And then he stages a major show of irrational temper after conjuring up some irrational slights as he perceives were made at him. Rafael Correa deserves a mental examination and therapy and/or jail. He is unfit to lead anything now.

Reuters reports on Rafael Correa's adolescent lies and his addiction to manipulating reality to serve his infantile and puerile proclivities, also called protection rackets flourishing in Ecuador thanks to Correa as he said to Alvaro Uribe: "We won't miss you," Correa replied to Uribe on local radio on Saturday.

Let us be clear: either the very honorable and honest Alvaro Uribe is a liar [which he is not] and the UN's  INTERPOL is lying, which it is not - or else the U.S. Democrats in the US Congress, misled by the George Soros-US AID paid propagandists viz NED and the do drugs crowd, have lied to the world while abusing the high office of the U.S. ambassadresses in Quito- viz Jewell and now Hodges- to tell us all that Correa is hard at work against drugs when he is  not. Alvaro Uribe is an honest man and the perps who spread the canard that Correa is honest  and Uribe is not....have gone too far and created a breech in any remnants of integrity radiating from the USA. The USA's Assistant Secretary Shannon thinks this is  great, following the Roger Noriega-Adolfo Franco/Karen Harbert  plan to pretend that all is well in the Andes when nothing could possibly be further from the truth even as tens of millions of US dollars flood in to Quito to legalize all that should never be legalized, including every anti-democracy foolishness that US AID and the neo communists, also called Chavez's Axis of Evil, can craft.

We think we all are adult enough to stop pretending that Rafael Correa deserves anything but a perp walk to jail. There is nothing justifiable about the entire representations from the Correa cartel. Nothing at all.

REUTERS writes that the DIPLOMATIC BREACH between Colombia and Ecuador is widening. Really? Indeed there is no diplomacy between Correa and Colombia- or anything else for that matter because Correa is neither diplomatic nor honest. But he is, as his MaMa taught him, excessively manipulative and cravenly self centered and a narcissistic psychopathic liar. Ecuadoreans today revere this disgusting personality trait and have pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to protecting and defending lying, manipulative narcissists. Alvaro Uribe, who is the real deal, has no support and  utterly no wherewithal to defend both his own nation Colombia and the region from the onslaught of criminal cartels- called the Venezuelan-Ecuadorean-Russo-Iranian alliance because the United States of America, supposedly his friend and fellow truth teller, refuses to stand with Uribe, preferring instead  to lie a lot and to back up the utterly dishonest Rafael Correa, abandoning Uribe.

Besides, the USA helped fund through its do drugs actors from the Soros teams, along with the FARC and Chavez, Correa's rise to power, his self coup and his ridiculous so called constitution which is a communist manifesto to legalize all that should never be legalized. The USA has gone so far as to black out any fact based analysis of this regional take over and forbids any data-driven discussion in its unending drive to enshrine "alternative economies in new, alternative democracies." These are not new and are not democracies in Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia: they are criminal cartel states operating for enriching the few of their politburo and defeating the masses, reduced as they are to mere serfdom. In the USA, besides the aberrant Soros, Senators Dodd, Reid and Congresspersons Delahunt, Waters, Frank, Pelosi et all have foresworn their allegiance to the Soros take over in the Andes to enable the Russo-Iranian-Venezuelan-Ecuadorean criminal cartels. This is not representational  governance: this is fraud.

Meanwhile, besides lying about each and every single fact on the face of this Earth, here is Correa lying about Mexico's Fox:

Correa califica a ex presidente de México como “gerente de la Coca Cola”
02:38 pm | 04 Oct 2008 | Noticias 24

El jefe de Estado ecuatoriano, Rafael Correa, calificó hoy de “gerente de la Coca-Cola” al ex mandatario de México Vicente Fox, quien participó esta semana en Guayaquil en un foro sobre la pobreza, convocado por el ex presidente peruano, Alejandro Toledo.

En su programa semanal de radio, Correa señaló que en el pasado, Fox “habló pestes” de él sin siquiera conocerlo al llamarlo, entre otras cosas “populista”, según anotó.

Agregó que cuando le preguntaron su criterio sobre Fox, dijo que no acostumbra “a debatir con gerentes de la Coca-Cola. Para mi Vicente Fox es un gerente de la Coca Cola básicamente”, subrayó.

Al inaugurar el III encuentro “Hacia una nueva agenda social para América Latina”, realizado ayer en Guayaquil con la participación de una decena de ex gobernantes latinoamericanos, Correa, que defiende el Socialismo del Siglo XXI, aseguró que el suyo es un Gobierno popular y no populista.

En declaraciones a la televisión Ecuavisa, el ex presidente Fox (2000-2006) dijo ayer que se trata de “un cuento chino que ya está muy obsoleto. Ya ese es tema del siglo pasado, eso ya quedó enterrado, ya se probó que no funciona”.

Correa dijo hoy que en el encuentro de ex gobernantes se criticó mucho al neoliberalismo y se defendió la cuestión social como eje transversal de las políticas públicas.

“No nos engañemos, no habrá desarrollo mientras no haya un cambio en la relación de fuerzas”, dijo al reiterar que el poder debe estar en el pueblo y no en la elite.

As it comes to pass, Ecuadoreans are seduced by the power of the manipulative narcissist. All Ecuadoreans are made to feel criminal if they do not give in to Correa's self serving demands and sometimes are thrown in jail or threatened with jail if they do not, such as Bishop Arregui. Mostly however, because Ecuadoreans refuse to understand that they have the right and the obligation to stand as adults with integrity, they permit Correa and their own kin folk to manipulate all that remains. You have the tools to stand up to manipulative narcissists. Vicente Fox spoke the truth the other day. Why is it that you now feel guilty if you do not denounce Fox for his truth telling? The answer: you are living daily with manipulative narcissists. Just stop it.

A truly great human being, "Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.” In Ecuador, all of the people are fooled all of the time because the majority is addicted to its role as co enablers of massively dishonest manipulative persons whose power is derived by living off of some one else's money while never doing anything to actually earn any respect. Stop making yourself and your family look stupid and puerile, slaves to the manipulative narcissist. Besides- you know well that Uribe is a truth teller and that Correa is a serial liar. When will you start standing up for truth tellers and give manipulative serial liars and narcissists the boot?
