Comment on Friends Like These Are....Not Friends At All

¡Thank you for keeping us informed, Pedro!

It's despicable that, rather than defending the rule of law and the human rights of Hondurans Latin Americans, and Americans, the Obama administration is siding with the Marxist thugs who are trampling on human rights and working with drug cartels and Islamic terrorist to destroy the U.S.!

I guess it was to be expected from Obama. As his parents, relatives, friends and mentors, Obama is a Marxist who hates the U.S. As such, he sides with Marxist dictators and would-be dictators who seek to enslave their countries and destroy the U.S.

Comment on Ecuador Stubbornly Lies to the U.S. Government, Its Media and Its People to Scam More US Gifts

Pedro — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 16:04:19 GMT

Once again, a very insightful post. I do have to agree that transparency has been lost at all levels of government. As Correa extends his grip over the business resources essential for community development, more and more money is being filtered down to his family members and his "pink circle" of influence. Mr. Camargo, I must say that you are absolutely right in that Ecuadoreans must reclaim morality and sacred honor. But could you please give me some insight as to how to do that in a practical way? As far as I am concerned my country and its people are blind because they don't want to see the evidence provided to them. It is not enough to speculate on global bonds and then make a Venezuelan company rich, as in the "Pativideos" scandal of over a year ago. It is not enough to see unconditional support to terrorist groups within our country. It is not enough to see family members of the President taking contracts that were rightfully deserved by more efficient companies. So my question remains, how do you counter that when the whole population is blind? And there is no worse blind than that one who does not want to see.

Comment on Love in the Time of Latin Liars, Manipulators and Fascists

Pedro — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 21:41:36 GMT

I am Ecuadorian, and I have to say to the editors of ecrisis that I respect very much the strong opinion agains the speculative, "under the table" political system of my nation and of my region. However, I have to disagree that there are no Ecuadorians standing up to tyranny, as I know people very close to me that actually care to see my nation prosper are doing everything within their reach to bring to light the unethical public contracts to family members and people within Mr. Correa's sphere of power. I also must tell you that there are many of us young students coming out of the United States with much respect for education and there are many of us uniting to convert the system that is currently hindering minds and voices in my country. There are some of us that value basic human rights and that actually want to see a better Ecuador and a better South America. I also must let you know that the "massive hedging operations" are not only financially hurting American investors, but private business owners, and local investors as well. And this is a very useful tool that Mr. Correa and his cabinet is applying to the full extent to literally freeze any opposition from making progress by unethical practices like: freezing accounts with the excuse of audits, declarations of patrimony, etc. which I have seen in my family happen recently. It is a very dark place to move in politics and business, but there will be some of us that step up to the plate to inculcate in our people the respect for education, for honesty, for stewardship of people and to be liasons of business in a very moral-driven environment. More than anything I hope that my country will wake up one day and open their eyes and see beyond a monthly check from the government and straight into the multimillion dollar contracts within Correa's sphere, which he calls "Revolution".

Comment on Correa's Ecuador Maims Open Media- Freedom of Speech

Gonzalo Proano — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:06:22 GMT

I am wondering if Mr Obama have read the book that Hugo Chavez gave to him in Trinidad and Tobago...a book wrotte by Galeano..in which the United States was blamed for all the social-economical and political problems in latin america.
I have read that Mr Obama also received another book wrotte by Vargas LLoza.." The bible of the latinamerican idiot"..a description of the new dictators..those dictator who became populars called themselves as the governors of the XXI century..under the so called socialism of the century XXI..(socialismo del siglo XXI)
What is this..?..nothing new..the same lies over and over...the same atrocities..the same abuses..the same tactics..nothing new..just the dictators names were changed...Chavez,Correa,Morales..the same retoric...attacking the media..the journalists..the radio..and to all who either have a different ideology..or not agree with their goverments..!!
In Ecuador..Rafael Correa attack the media every time he have a microphone in his hands...every saturday in his radio program..three hours of lies and lies and insults and attacks.
Rafael Correa who won the reelection..(funny..from 10.5 millions of registered voters..just 7.8 millons come out to vote and Correa gain the 51% from those votes...so..he become the president once again..with the 38% of the total electorade of 10.5 millions..mmm..and...even worse..the election were a fiasco..)
In the most recent of Chavez's visit to the country,Correa said he have in mind to ask to the UNASUR to regulate the media and the journalist to liberate the goverments and the citizens from the corrupted journalism..and Chavez..support him..oh well..and this pair of idiots..are who called themselves the defenders of the democracy..!!
Correa will not stop...for his best interes...and his goverment..will eliminate the journalism,the media..there is a case already with teleamazonas..a television station who just cast in live..when the oposition broke into a clandestine center of votes counting in Guayaquil...last saturday Correa said..teleamazonas will be sued and there is a chance of closing this TV station..just like Radio Caracas Television in Venezuela..and Globovison underway at the present time.!!
The socialism of the century XXI..here..there..and spreading over latin america...rising the poverty..and misery..in Ecuador..unemployment,corruption,inflation,poverty..and the end of the dolarization...walk together..thanks to Rafael Correa..!!

Comment on Ecuador Breaks US Contracts: is a Friend to None

Gringo Viejo y Feo — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 00:48:19 GMT

P.S./P.D. to my previous comment:

Today, February 11th, Correa's appointed head of the national police, Jaime Hurtado remarked that without U.S. funding, anti narcotic efforts virtually cease. It seems while El Presidente is busy buying luxury jets, votes, and electronic identification appartatus, he neglects to fund his own country's anti drug program...

Whether this is out of neglect or deliberate, I will allow the reader to decide.

Comment on Ecuador Breaks US Contracts: is a Friend to None

Gringo Viejo y Feo — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 00:22:13 GMT

Of all the news services, "reporting on this incident, Mr. Camacho has the most accurate accounting of details of the latest court magician's ploy: misdirection.

As a former magician myself, I would like to amplify Mr. Camacho's findings.

1. The incident stems from a letter that was sent to Mr. Correa’s government over a month ago. It apparently did not become an “issue” until Correa was neck deep in what is being labeled here as “Chauvingate”. His blustering announcement on his weekly radio address recalled his mentor Chavez’s order to the military, “Send ten divisions of tanks to the Columbian border, immediately!” (He only had seven and of those a little more that half were deployable!) Likewise, Correa blusters to the U.S. consulate “Order Mr. Astorga to pack his bags and leave the country. He has 48 hours!” (like Chavez, Correa’s hold on reality is tenuous… Mr. Astorga had left weeks ago, due to normal U.S. overseas rotation.)
2. In the same radio rant, Correa ordered the national police to return all of the donated equipment “…even to the erasers!” Well, guess what? They did just that. Unfortunately, they neglected to do what any kid selling his Blackberry knows to do… let alone the system administrator for the national police: THEY FAILED TO FORMAT THE MEMORY ON THE COMPUTER HARD DRIVES.
3. Consequently, the computers were returned with reportedly 15 years of records intact on the hard drives. As Correa’s estofado de ratones guisados y sapos will not go away, he tries to further misdirect the nation’s attention, by accusing Mr. Astorga of stealing state secrets. As Mr. Astorga was no longer in the country, while the said coputers were being packed into boxes, this would be a feat worthy of Ocean’s Fourteen!
4. Interesting to note, and totally consistant with Mr. Correa’s grasp on supposedly important state affairs (not to mention reality), his own minister, Miguel Carvajal reported that the U.S. had returned the files two days before he made the espionage accusations, and are being investigated for tampering. (I highly doubt any tampering will be evident. BUT, you can bet your last sucre that they were copied! That is what competent intelligence services do!)

As a former magician myself, I would like to amplify Mr. Camacho's

Comment on Mean and Petty Ecuadoreans Swear Allegiance to Cartels and Denounce Each Other

mpcoc — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 15:48:34 GMT

Indeed, the government of Ecuador cannot even be honest about its finances as it wings its way across Africa and the Middle East to Iran. Here are Correa's goons- not even being honest about paying their bills.
