February 8, 2009    Ecuador is in the middle of nothing less than a struggle- a trade war if you will- created by the uneducated Rafael Correa as president and his team of cabinet rank thugs, goons and obese actors all of his Greek chorus of fools, sending Ecuador in to a Cuban communist system of determinedly unfree restraints against its own people. Who speaks for liberty in Ecuador? Currently we are delighted that a few have risen from their self imprisoned grave of unending silence, self imposed to date and timid at best, and have begun to state what the rest of the world knows about Correa's Ecuador: it stinks, it is corrupt and it is headed off the cliffs of insanity because the nation is led by a sick sociopathic narcissist who has lied every step of the way and is addicted to the sole ethos that life is best served by manipulations and not honest leadership. Correa is determined to ruin what businesses and economic structures existed in Ecuador. Milton Friedman, seen here in a short clip years before he died, speaks on the benefit of free systems, unrestrained by socialism-communism. Friedman notes that free enterprise notably propels socio-economic growth. He pointedly states that without free trade and capitalism, societies deliver few to no benefits for its citizenry.
 
As president Correa is busy ginning up hatred and expelling everything normative, including honest banking, honest development, honest finances, honest military acts, honest diplomacy, honest trade and commerce, honest religion and honest politics, Ecuadoreans should connect the dots: Correa has expelled sane, normal life from Ecuador. This is of course what addicts to manipulative behavior do: they kick out/cut off/.dispel/ expel the sane and normal in order to retain their dysfunction, their aberrant behavior, their self absorbed shallow greed. Correa has been doing this all his life and now expels ghosts under the always manipulating false justification that he just HAD TO. Correa tells us that he was compelled to kick out the USA, symbolically this time in the form of a low level functionary attached to the USA.
 
Rafael Correa told the nation of Ecuador yesterday that he had to expel a US functionary from Ecuador because supposedly this man had upset Correa's demands that everyone respect Correa and his lies with no questions asked and no validation that what Correa says he does and what his opinions are...are never ever to be questioned or over ridden. Of course Correa believes this- it is how each and every single Ecuadorean mother instructs their dishonest children how to behave- selfishly, with vain and vapid, shallow self imports and not one concern for the common good. To be sure, no Ecuadorean husband or father ever ever stands up to this tyranny of vapid hollow living, assuming as all men do in Ecuador that there is no higher standard than the sacrosanct enabling of dishonesty. Ecuadorean men are partners to enable this self defeating garbage, currently Ecuador's ruinous national ethic of addiction to manipulation. Correa refuses any oversight, refuses due diligence and refuses transparent disclosure. Ecuadoreans, precisely as their Madres teach them today, think that this is sovereignty and think that this is wonderful. We think that this is not wonderful but a ruinous manipulative morass of fools and self deceivers, perpetuating the dysfunction that has engulfed the entirety of Ecuador in to a dishonest mess worthy of no respect or anyone's money. More on Correa's expulsion here and here, which notes that the US-GOE agreement with the USA ended was for immigration control in the borders.
 
Let us be clear about what USA funding was terminated by the USA: this was a program gifted to Ecuador under the ambassador Kinney times and continued through amb. Jewell and now ending under Hodges because Correa demands that the actual terms of the agreement to gift highly sensitive surveillance equipment be run solely by Correa and his Chavez-Iranian-FARC thugs and criminals alone and that no USA person may oversee or train any Ecuadorean now accessing USA satellites and surveillance  equipment. This gift should never have been made to the irresponsible Gutierrez and Palacios team anyway. And this gift has been used to lie and lie and lie beyond anyone's wildest propaganda dreams that Ecuador is working against the FARC when indeed Ecuador has not acted against the FARC for over 4 years. But this Northern region surveillance equipment - in place but lied about for too long- was used by Ecuador to help the FARC and hurt Colombia. Correa is angry- he is shaking his little fist and stamping his little feet in anger [soon he will need more Lithium and more inner circle assurances that he is healthy and he is rational when he is not]. Correa is expelling the USA because one man told the truth that the terms of the money gift from the USA includes the common rider that the USA must not simply, as it has been doing for 4 years, flip its intelligence equipment over to the Russo-Iranian-Ecuadorean nexus of evil. Correa is angry that any would challenge his supreme manipulative dictates or even look at who and what he is doing with USA intelligence materiel as all good manipulatives do- they expel and reject truthtellers, childishly passing the blame off on all others around them that they cannot manipulate into submission and silence. Contract law in the real world does not work for these manipulatives so they bar rule of law to retain their manipulative ethic. Were Correa an honest and honorable man, he would welcome trained and intelligent actors, none of which exist in Ecuador any more at all- all GOE actors today are idiots and manipulative liars, working solely for Correa's dictatorship of one evil to enable Correa's vapidity and sicknesses.  This single contract reminder of bona fide GOE actors accessing high end intelligence equipment from the USA was abused by the GOE for too long and Correa is now very upset that the one arena, the one ploy, the one main lie he used to proclaim that Ecuador acted to help the war on drugs has been proven to be a fraud. And so he publicly demands that this American be kicked out in less than 2 hours.
 
We do not know if it is true that this American flew out of Quito under Correa's orders of 2-7-09. We do not know where this man is. The US Embassy claims he departed right after Christmas. 
 
From the above AFP story again, “US State Department spokesman Fred Lash said he could not confirm if Ecuador had formally conveyed any expulsion order to the United States...and...emphasized that Washington valued bilateral ties with Quito....Correa said on Saturday he would allow U.S. Coast Guard planes to land there if needed, but only if Ecuador was allowed to approve of the pilots....The former college professor is known for his quick temper, ejecting a journalist from a live interview and ordering the arrests of people he charged had hurled insults or made offensive gestures at his presidential motorcade. Correa has been tough on foreign companies by repeatedly threatening to expel them over contractual disagreements or legal disputes. Last year, he kicked out Brazilian building firm Odebrecht and sent troops to seize its projects in Ecuador."
 
And so we ask: did Correa actually deliver to the USA real expulsion demands? If so, where are they? He said he ordered this man kicked out in 2 hours. Where are the orders? The USA says this is not needed- he is already gone. Is Correa so stupid as to declare a state order for a man who is a ghost? Where is the highly  vaulted Gustavo Larrea and his bully boys, well trained by Cuban spies and Chavez's DISIP thugs- currently crawling all over Quito to spy on everyone and every movement? Did they miss something in their haste to monitor for manipulative purposes every household, every key hole on the door, to eavesdrop on one and all? Are they that incompetent to fail to inform Correa that this American had been gone for almost 2 months? Or was Correa once again willfully ignoring the facts to seize more hate filled voter appeal because Correa knows that his form of allegiance, those who serve him and cover for his insane behavior, are best fed with a steady stream of lies and manipulations to keep one and all hyperactive and like a good hypochondriac- always believing that evil is at hand, disease is rampant and machinations systematically insuring that stability, intelligence and sanity are never ever ever in play.
 
Or is this matter so simple that as the US Department of State stated on behalf of the Obama team, "Washington valued bilateral ties with Quito." We assume that this is actually how the US Department of State believes these days. In fact, all that they do and say exhibits this.
 
For its bi lateral ties, the USA and Ecuador are locked in to a marriage in name only- a bi lateral false front where all treaties and bonds of fellowship are broken by the insertion of Correa's stubborn dishonest and ruinous manipulative government. There is nothing bi lateral between the USA and Ecuador any more. That marriage soured four years ago and was completely abandoned under Correa, leading to a divorce-producing series of activities engineered through Correa's ridiculous so called constitution of 9-08 which cut all legal ties to the USA and legitimized all that should never be legitimized. In order to preserve this false marriage- and to enable Correa's team to further move narcotics out of Ecuador while laundering dirty hedge monies and derivatives swaps for persons and entities best known as those from dark and evil corners, the USA is perpetuating and co funding, co-enabling a dysfunction and a criminal cartel which is best ended.
 
The U.S. Department of State is either patently dishonest today or is treasonous. We are not sure which. There are no valid US commercial ties to Ecuador- Correa is still barring US products at port. There is no military sharing with Ecuador- Correa's military is roundly corrupt. There are long lists of American businesses which Correa has stolen from and kicked out of the country. Correa has in turn seized property and persons from inside Ecuador for self enrichment and a more fulsome reign of terror. And still Ecuadoreans wait for someone to come and show them how to divorce themselves from their failed relationship with the aberrant Correa. The USA continues to lie that Correa is not a criminal cartel Drug King Pin and in so doing co enables more crime in order to keep paying more and more USA backed propagandists to help Correa lie some more.
 
As is well known, each man's life touches so many others. Correa wants your life- your soul- bound to him like a bad marriage in name only and insists that you never be honest and he demands your total obedience or else he will stage some new screaming tantrum and demand for respect, which he neither deserves nor warrants nor does he foster respect himself, having done nothing whatsoever for the good of anyone but himself and his Cuban-Iranian pals.
 
This marriage between Ecuador and the USA is over. It is no longer sane or helpful for Tom Shannon of the USA to perforce a policy of appeasement. This planned appeasement furthers evil and corruption, as it always does. While originally considered "expedient," this shallow and lazy adventure in enabling crime in fact breaks all USA laws and norms for contract behaviors. Which is why this American informed Correa that the USA's gift of sensitive equipment had to be co worked with respectful adults- not the standard manipulative dishonest Ecuadorean who is helping Chavez and Iran help terrorists.
 
Correa has also essentially expelled the IMF and World Bank. He has expelled investors, except for the criminal global underbelly. This of course leads us to ponder why Mr. George Soros embraces Ecuador's plenipotentiary. But of course as Mr. Shannon knows well, the USA co funds Mr. Soros's liars and propagandists to tell us all how wonderful Ecuador remains and how invaluable a FARC free zone in Ecuador will be - for the good of narcoterrorists. Mr. Shannon, for his part, could have and should have- along with everyone else who knows one thing about the dishonest Ecuador- should have pulled the plug on this scam. But.....he was convinced that enabling manipulative nations is fabulous. As with all Ecuadorean men, the USA now looks really whipped by the forces of manipulative stupidities.
