December 2, 2008    ECrisis has repeatedly stated that Ecuador has two choices: it can sit back and watch its national suicide unfold- a nationwide auto da fe or each Ecuadorean must stand up for principled- not lazy and irresponsible manipulative living. It is a stark choice forced on Ecuadoreans alone because each family has refused to terminate its own addiction to manipulative living. Comes now Rafael Correa, the dark prince of manipulative living and you are either with him and your own self-destruction or not. You can run, you can hide you can jet off to Brickell Avenue in Miami to money launder some more but you can not escape the manipulative mess you will leave behind- damning Ecuador for two decades of darkness. Only personal integrity and courageous acts will bring Ecuador out of its ashes. No one will do this for you and you simply have to decide to be with Correa's communist criminal cartel or not.

Do not look to the U.S. embassy in Quito: they are too busy pretending that their work is "important" to save democracy and commerce when absolutely not one shred of evidence confirms any value to their days. In fact, these "diplomats" want you to know that they really want Correa to stay on the job ruining Ecuador so that their careers will be blessed with more than $50 million in US AID contracts. To achieve this, the lazy U S team will lie an awful lot about the great and fabulous counternarcotics efforts by the drug legalizing and drug running Rafael Correa team. In fact, with absolutely no evidence whatsoever, the US team wants you to know that Barack Obama will bless their work and call them honest when they are not much more than well placed peons for the George Soros do-drugs agenda and the make-work contractors from US AID whose hands have yet to deliver anything helpful at all.
 
To Ecuadoreans, this is a great plan: co addicts from the U.S. embassy who are never honest in a loser nation addicted to manipulative living actually passing out millions to pretend that this is a wonderful life in Quito.  It may be wonderful for the Americans but for Ecuadoreans it is veering toward a criminal hell.

To date, that Embassy has lied a lot about Correa and has failed to state the facts: Correa is a narcissistic sociopath bent on total power while performing a criminal drug king pin enterprise. Correa, like Hugo Chavez, is essentially a drug king pin by any definition, unless of course one is a willful enabler, also called liar.
 
We know that Ecuadoreans have joined Correa is lying a lot because the nation is a disaster, ramping up domestic and global hate campaigns to blame all others but never their own irresponsible reluctance to grow up and do something useful.
 
Although not one journalist inside Ecuador has reported these facts, yesterday's London Telegraph stated, “World stability hangs by a thread as economies continue to unravel.

The political bubble is bursting. Spreads on geo-strategic risk are now widening as dramatically as the spreads on financial risk at the onset of the credit crunch. ..

If in doubt, cleave to those countries with a deeply-rooted democracy, a strong sense of national solidarity, a tested rule of law – and aircraft carriers. The US and Britain do not look so bad after all." 
 
Listen up here: this writer is in no way suggesting the tried and true Ecuadorean family value to lie some more and run away from adult responsibilities. No indeed. This writer is not pressing for Ecuadoreans to replicate the utterly depraved VICHY GOVERNMENT of the Nazi-enabling French between 1939-1945. And this article is not suggesting that anyone follow the Italians of the 1930s who approved Mussolini's special form of "democracy" because Mussolini told you that he was a follower of British economist John Maynard Keynes. Yes- Mussolini himself claimed to be a Keynesian which of course confers some bizarre legitimacy as if a soothing balm for statist socialism, over printing of money, soaring taxes and soaring inflation, also called manipulative financial planning by manipulative addicts who want you to manipulate all goods and services. You already manipulate your family values and your credos, so what is one more inflationary manipulation you ask? The hard truth is that Keynesian practices never lead to sound growth and always to governmental corruption. For his part, we all know that Mussolini's Keynesian economy, like Zimbabwe today, saw his currency as meaningless and under said inflationary practices, a loaf of bread [ when one could find one] was in the thousands of lire. Italians hated Mussolini not because he was a Nazi communist, as they should have and adored him for keeping the trains running with Germanic precision....back and forth to Nazi death camps...but the Italians hated Mussolini because he brought their economy to its knees under Keynesian tax and spend, inflate, statist controls on imports-exports and all trade while inflation spiraled out of control and no one knew what or where the government spent its money. Correa, as you know, is an ardent communist and has replicated the Mussolini state economic plan- unique among thugs, criminals, perverts and power hungry idiots. Most assert that Correa is all of these now.
 
But the writer noted above tells us that functional democracy [which does not exist in Ecuador under Correa], solidarity for the good [not the now standard failure to coalesce by any Opposition leaders in Ecuador because each is trained to be envious, hateful toward anyone or anything that actually grows up and does something helpful] and structural rule of law, which has been banished in Ecuador since 2005 by every conceit conceivable.
 
If you are honest, and most are not, you will understand your condition best by asking....Are you better off today than in 2004? than two years' ago? Than in 1994 or 1998? The facts remain that Ecuador's economy has been relatively stable since 2001 that created a sense of expanded employment and taxable revenues. But all this is gone today and Ecuador is busy killing itself in a nationwide suicide pact because too many are too lazy to stop the end of liberty.
 
As the days diminish and your world traps you more and more in the self imprisonment you alone created, more bizarre behaviors leap across this Correa government. Here to bless the new ALBA mismanagement team is a seriously debauched effort:
 
 
 
While you are busy asking: WHO is that smirking guy in the middle of that photo, another fool is busy thanking Rafael Correa as if. Correa, who enjoys praise for doing nothing, living as he does under the dictates that life is best lived with Getting Something for Nothing, wants to help Ingrid Betancourt, a certifiable idiot, return Colombia, as their next president to his vision for a full Andean narcobloc.

Entrevista a Ingrid Betancourt

BOGOTA, 1 diciembre 2008 (AFP) - La ex rehén de la guerrilla de las FARC, Ingrid Betancourt, se declaró el domingo “feliz” por haber regresado a su país por pocas horas, pero también se mostró preocupada por la “impunidad” que hay en Colombia, en una entrevista con AFP antes de iniciar una gira suramericana.

 
 
 
Clearly our soignée fur-enhanced limousine liberal Euro trash political campaigning and deeply misguided Ingrid Betancourt is a truly uneducated politician and remains one more manipulative, dishonest player from the Andes. More like Monica Lewinsky with her over manipulative Mama who thrust her in to the adoring and respectful cigar-holding Bill Clinton, Ingrid's dishonest and cravenly manipulative arrogant Mama runs her agenda for reasons manipulativa familial and excessively Andean. These women are not saints and the play book is not too distinct in essence from another FARC moll named Piedad Cordoba. Ingrid knows very well that Rafael Correa harbors and supports the FARC, taking protection racket monies and direct aid from the FARC, giving money laundering, safe transport, citizenship status, intelligence operations protection and equipment sales to these narcoterrorists, now also known as Correa's cabinet. Betancourt is a disgrace. Correa helps the FARC and did nothing to help the hostages except for phony claims and PR hot air. But you can lie about it if you like and pretend that the USA's Congressman McGovern will gift Ecuador with the free and safe passage for all criminals under the Obama-Latin team for enabling more narcoterrorism but not for long. You can lie a lot, as is the current genre masquerading as diplomacy, that criminals help the poor. But you will not be able to lie about this for long.
 
But Betancourt is on a public relations-political propaganda campaign to oust Alvaro Uribe just as surely as is Hugo Chavez and Rafael Correa to retain power indefinitely through ending freedom, retaining power and manipulating every facet of human life. Here is Betancourt, confused as always, inside a very confused, badly over decorated with hyper-bad cheesey grandiose taste presidential chamber with a cheap guy, who like all cheap dates, wears cheap socks, among other cheap things:
 
 

 
 
With Russian cartel actors crawling across the Andes, also called spot oil traders and oil transport actors, these thugs want to monopolize everything in your life. That is what manipulative addicts do and that is what the Russo-Iranian-Venezuelan-Ecuadorean axis does. And poor manipulative Ingrid [currently in need of disinfectant] embraces more lies from a master manipulator and fake compassion:                         

Here is but a tiny honest snapshot of what imperial Russia does, which should be a precautionary tale as all Ecuadoreans and Venezuelans embraced the Medvedev seduction of socialism's, also called Keynesian economics, ploy of something for nothing, prolonging their auto da fe:

Georgia Acted in Self-Defense
Some people seem to misunderstand which country was invaded.
By MIKHEIL SAAKASHVILI
 
Since Russia invaded Georgia last August, the international community seems stuck on one question about how the war started: Did the Georgian military act irresponsibly to take control of Tskhinvali in the South Ossetia region of Georgia?

 Reuters
Russian armor on the move in Georgia, August 2008.

This question has been pushed to the center in large degree by a fierce, multimillion-dollar Russian PR campaign that hinges on leaked, very partial, and misleading reports from a military observer from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) that claimed Georgia responded militarily in South Ossetia without sufficient provocation by Russia. Judging from recent media coverage, this campaign has been successful.

Focusing on this question distracts from Russia's intense, blatant policy of regime change that has long aimed to destabilize Georgia through ethnic manipulation, and thus thwart our democracy while stopping NATO's expansion. Furthermore, it has never been in dispute whether our forces entered South Ossetia. I have always openly acknowledged that I ordered military action in South Ossetia -- as any responsible democratic leader would have done, and as the Georgian Constitution required me to do in defense of the country.

I made this decision after being confronted by two facts. First, Russia had massed hundreds of tanks and thousands of soldiers on the border between Russian and Georgia in the area of South Ossetia. We had firm intelligence that they were crossing into Georgia, a fact later confirmed by telephone intercepts verified by the New York Times and others -- and a fact never substantially denied by Russia. (We had alerted the international community both about the military deployment and an inflow of mercenaries early on Aug. 7.)

Second, for a week Russian forces and their proxies engaged in a series of deadly provocations, shelling Georgian villages that were under my government's control -- with much of the artillery located in Tskhinvali, often within sites controlled by Russian peacekeepers. Then, on Aug. 7, Russia and its proxies killed several Georgian peacekeepers. Russian peacekeepers and OSCE observers admitted that they were incapable of preventing the lethal attacks. In fact, the OSCE had proven impotent in preventing the Russians from building two illegal military bases inside South Ossetia during the preceding year.

So the question is not whether Georgia ordered military action -- including targeting of the artillery sites that were shelling villages controlled by our government. We did.

The question is, rather: What democratic polity would have acted any differently while its citizens were being slaughtered as its sovereign territory was being invaded? South Ossetia and Abkhazia are internationally recognized as part of Georgia, and even some areas within these conflict zones were under Georgian government control before the Russian invasion. We fought to repel a foreign invasion. Georgians never stepped beyond Georgian territory.

My government has urged the international community to open an independent, unbiased investigation into the origins of the war. I first proposed this on Aug. 17, standing with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Tbilisi. I offered to make every shred of evidence and every witness available. Russia has yet to accede to such terms of inquiry.

Also, last Friday I stood for several hours before a commission established by the Georgian Parliament, chaired by a leader of an opposition party, to investigate the conduct of the war. This is the first time that any leader from this part of the world has been scrutinized live on national television for his or her wartime decisions by a legislative investigation. I have also required every member of my administration and military to make themselves available to the committee.

The real test of the legitimacy of Russia's actions should be based not on whether Georgia's democratically elected leadership came to the defense of its own people on its own land, but on an assessment of the following questions. Was it Georgia or Russia (and its proxies) that:

- Pursued the de facto annexation of the sovereign territory of a neighboring state?

- Illegally issued passports to residents of a neighboring democracy in order to create a pretext for invasion (to "protect its citizens")?

- Sent hundreds of tanks and thousands of soldiers across the internationally recognized borders of a neighboring democracy?

- Instigated a series of deadly provocations and open attacks over the course of many months, resulting in civilian casualties?

- Refused to engage in meaningful, bilateral dialogue on peace proposals?

- Constantly blocked all international peacekeeping efforts?

- Refused to attend urgent peace talks on South Ossetia organized by the European Union and the OSCE in late July?

- When the crisis began to escalate, refused to have any meaningful contact (I tried to reach President Dmitry Medvedev on both Aug. 6 and 7, but he refused my calls)?

- Tried to cover up a long-planned invasion by claiming, on Aug. 8, that Georgia had killed 1,400 civilians and engaged in ethnic cleansing -- "facts" quickly disproved by international and Russian human-rights groups?

- Refused to permit EU monitors unrestricted access to these conflict areas after the fighting ended, while engaging in the brutal ethnic cleansing of Georgians?

These are the questions that need to be answered. The fact that none can be answered in Russia's favor underscores the grave risks of returning to business as usual. Russia sees Georgia as a test. If the international response is not firm, Moscow will make other moves to redraw the region's map by intimidation or force.

Responding firmly to the Putin-Medvedev government implies neither the isolation nor the abandonment of Russia; it can be achieved in tandem with continuing engagement of, and trade with, Russia. But it does require holding Russia to account. Moscow must honor its sovereign commitments and fully withdraw its troops to pre-August positions. It must allow unrestricted EU monitoring, and accede to the international consensus that these territories are Georgia. Such steps are not bellicose; they are simply the necessary course to contain an imperial regime.

We all hope that Russia soon decides to join the international community as a full, cooperative partner. This would be the greatest contribution to Georgia's stability. In the interim, we should make sure that we do not sacrifice democracies like Georgia that are trying to make this critical part of the world more stable, secure and free.
Mr. Saakashvili is president of Georgia.

Your president of Ecuador is jetting off to  Russia's evil proxy state Iran in a few weeks. Correa needs cash since he has none and has stolen Ecuadorean assets. He will sell Iran more fake passports and citizenship and dirty banking pass through accounts/money laundering in to US dollars as he is doing for the FARC. He will sell out Ecuador's banks for the greater good of Iranian banks, currently banned by all sane nations. Correa will enjoy Iranian hospitality which appeals to his manipulative addictions in dark places. Do you seriously think Correa goes to Iran for bettering Ecuador? Real people do not go to Iran for legal reasons. Nor do any go to Cuba for legitimate business. People go to Cuba for their sex tourism and dirty business deals. Leaders do not do business with Iran unless they are criminals. Correa is a criminal in all ways.

The people of Iran know that they are not better off today under the mullahs' total Marxist state. Venezuelans are not better off today and neither are Russians. No nation is bettered by preaching articles of hatred and ridiculous cult like national religions.

How much better off are you today than 4 years ago? Be honest because we all have the same economic data so you cannot manipulate the facts on this. But yes- we know. You will try. A lot. You are not better off today under Correa than at any time in Ecuador's history- matters are worse and getting dirtier and darker and more and more addicted to the dark places where no one should be.

Correa is broke because of his state theft and financial mismanagement and because no sane person wants to deal with the insane Correa and his criminal cartel. Correa needs more money to buy your votes some more [and pay back Chavez- oops, we mean Barclays slimy derivatives scam]. This should not be so tough to achieve since he already easily bought your souls several times now through state bribes and promising you that you will get something for nothing as long as you just love Correa and never question his adolescent crime spree. But Correa's state theft has revealed a bankrupt- financial and moral- nation. His cash building bond market manipulation scams have, if Barclays of London is to be believed, outed Chavez's losing derivatives stake in the false pretense that Correa's bonds are legal and has cost Chavez about one billion. No doubt Barclay's wants to get paid. But the IDB refused to hand Correa a cool billion for his bond market crimes brought out of the closet by Chavez's derivatives swaps failures. Correa needs money for Hugo and needs money for his presidential campaign to bribe more Ecuadoreans, pay more USA propagandists and lobbyists to lie about Correa's refusal to end his ties with the FARC and to insure that Marxism grows. With Russia currently cash strapped and Iran a mental basket case, Correa cares nothing about the fact that common lives under his new pals are horrifyingly one dimensional. Besides, all Ecuadoreans want to pretend that one dimensional living is great, too. So Correa goes to Iran to sell more criminal services to the mullahs of hatred. He is assured that this will be blessed by the US government because, as they inform Correa, the USA under Obama will definitely applaud all narcotrafficking and not one ask one legal question about bank fraud, money laundering or global malfeasance. We know this because this is what they say and do. We also know this because they are inexplicably linked with the Barack Obama- George Soros US AID jokester team that wants you to pretend a lot that narcoterrorism and Iran's hatred does not matter.

But where will you go to undo the horror that Correa is doing? Your Congress-? It has not existed for some time. The Central Bank-? Correa runs it now. The universities? They have been liars for years now. The courts-? There is no justice for you there under Correa's kangaroos. The media-? Your new constitution just gave Correa full powers to manipulate the media and anything else in Ecuador while giving civil and human rights to all vermin, both walking and crawling. So it appears that you have just boxed yourself into a corner in Ecuador with no way out unless you finally end your addictions to pretending that you can manipulate your way to sanity when you cannot. But you can start to be honest, get out of your self imposed self imprisonment for vapid fools, and insist on a multi dimensional life.

We all know that Correa's plan to end dollarization and commence a new currency and alternative financial structure for the Andes region is laughable, is criminal and is pervertedly a death knell for any sane undertaking. But Correa and Chavez, cash strapped criminals that they are, just launched a new on line currency, unanimously approved by the alternative finance entity called ALBA or also called the Soros Bank [because his paid people are deeply immersed in this scam] for money launderers, Hezbollah and unaccountable drugs and weapons running monies. Correa's e-currency, also called the SUCRE, is a joke. But the joke is on normal humans: Correa does not care one whit if you laugh at him or not or if you refuse to do business with the Andes, in particular Ecuador because Ecuador has no rule of law. And believe us- Soros cares nothing about such things either but he is very patient to help ruin capitalism. Correa does not care about anything but his onward march to ruinous totalitarian disasters. But you should care and care a lot. Today most laugh at the Correa e-currency called the SUCRE for money launderers, market manipulators, cartel capos and Iranian special-needs bankers. We are not laughing.
