December 14, 2008 ECrisis knows that this is a pretty inflammatory headline. We however have heard it enough times to say: show us the proof that this is not true.
 
When it is mentioned at all, the international media has simply said that Correa bought up bonds from others- almost a billion worth.
It was said that this went through a bank in Ecuador. what it should have said is that Correa used a bank- his own bank which he illegally seized and is using for his own dirty little banking out of Banco de Pacifico, now owned by Correa, for buying and selling bonds and of course money laundering.
 
Here are two in Guayaquil who did not stand in rapt attention as Correa's motorcade of zils- aka presidential motorcade zoomed by....they are hauled off to jail with no due process:

El país decidirá si quiere que siga: Correa 
Una pareja  fue detenida por una supuesta falta de respeto a la caravana presidencial. 

And without so much as a by your leave or any in depth follow up questions whatsoever, Ecuador's media simply accepts the garbage from Correa's mouth and adoringly never once asks the follow up question nor ponders the rasher of lies, propaganda and misleading statements from Correa; Here is a primary example:
 
Otros temas  tratados

Correa calificó  a su plan de vivienda como el más exitoso de los últimos años. Dijo que ha dado  80 000 viviendas en menos de dos años  y que “es normal que el 1% o el 5% tengan problemas.  Por cada casa mal construida hay 500 bien construidas”.

El Gobierno está  pendiente de la audiencia del  caso Occidental que se efectúa  en EE.UU., así lo aseguró el Primer Mandatario. Añadió que es casi imposible un fallo en contra del país, porque es claro que “se cumplió con todos los requisitos de ley”.

En su discurso pidió  a Dios por que León Febres Cordero tenga paz en su corazón. Dijo que aunque es un rival político no se alegrará por su muerte.

Fabricio Correa

El Presidente se refirió a la denuncia contra su  hermano Fabricio. “Dicen que es mi  asesor y que tiene una oficina en Carondelet, bueno fuera que lo viera más seguido”.  Además, aseguró que cuando se llegó a un acuerdo  con Ivanhoe para explotar el campo de Pungarayacu no se  recibió ni dinero ni regalos. Aclaró que Ivanhoe no le cuesta nada al país  ya que es un contrato de servicios.  “Martita  Roldós  puso una denuncia contra mi familia, señor Fiscal investigue y luego haga público quiénes son  los que quieren  boicotearnos”.

Visita a Irán

En su discurso incluyó  los detalles de su visita a Irán. El Primer Mandatario indicó que su par,   Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,  es un hombre  muy sencillo, lo cual le dio una buena impresión de ese país. “Irán es el segundo productor de petróleo, con 80 años de historia petrolera, nos pueden dar asistencia técnica en agricultura y explotación de gas natural”. Anunció que, además de los 12 memorandos  suscritos,  la idea es  instalar una  planta automotriz en Ecuador con una siderúrgica.

There- feel better? We just brought you what in your life substitutes for reality: more manipulations. Feel better? Yes of course. You no longer feel normal without your shameful daily dose of more and more manipulations. You have no idea what to do any more when someone hands you the truth and you run back to woshipping the inept, half truths and the manipulative lies. You just got some whoppers so you should feel quite at home by now. Of course you had no intention of speaking truth to power anyway so it is so easy now to listen to Correa's lies and blame everyone else but yourself.

The poor schlubbs yesterday, mentioned above, survived not because Correa's puppets nor his kangaroo courts performed one iota of honest work. They survived because the rule of the mob was not going to watch more innocent people hauled off in Correa's hell holes. But Correa cares nothing and will not doubt tell us all soon that this is the Will of the People- Pachamama told him to do these things.
 
Correa says that he and Patino have protected Ecuador's money. What have they done? Moreover, from Correa who has never once been honest- why would you believe him? Rolled their stolen gains in to Iranian banks using their own Banco Pacifico? Or....is it just un some woebegone Belgian bank? Ask.
 
In the meantime your government is not your partner. The government of Ecuador is a manipulative mess and has brought you to your knees as its greatest enabler. You are now nothing but a babysitter for an addict to manipulative government and life run by manipulators. It will get you discredited, diseased, disavowed, distanced, dishonest and....disabled. Co-enabling manipulators always does.
