Hillary Clinton is repeating the methodology of the Iran/Contra affair, using “black” funds to finance the operation to ensure President Correa is not re-elected.
I had two excellent sources for the news that the US/UK strategy against Julian Assange was to ensure the defeat of President Correa in Presidential elections next spring, and then have him expelled from the Ecuadorean Embassy. One source was within the UK civil service and one in Washington. Both had direct, personal access to the information I described. Both told me in the knowledge I would publish it.
Of course Assange is not the only reason Clinton wants rid of Correa; but it adds spice and urgency.
We now have completely independent evidence from Chile that this CIA operation exists, from journalists who were investigating a smuggling operation involving 300 kg per month of cocaine, organised by the Chilean army and security services.
The links to US intelligence emerged after an anonymous source from the Agencia Nacional de Inteligencia (ANI) told Panoramas News that the smuggling of 300 kilos of cocaine was in fact a highly sensitive CIA/DEA operation that would help to raise money to topple the government of Ecuador. The operation is similar to the one carried out by the Agency in Central America during the Iran-Contra scandal in the 1980’s, the source said.
A few days ago I published information I had received that Patricio Mery Bell, the director of the news programme which broke the story, had been lured to a meeting with a young lady “informant” who had worked with CIA-backed anti-Cuban groups in Miami. She had then accused him of sexual assault (does any of that scenario sound familiar?) He was arrested and his materials had been confiscated. However I took the article down after jst a few minutes because I had received the information in emails from sources I did not know previously, and was unsure it could stand up. It does now appear that this is indeed true.
My Washigton informant had told me, as I published, that the funds for the anti-Correa operation were not from the CIA budget but from secret funds controlled by the Pentagon. This could not be done by CIA funds because, perhaps surprisingly, for the CIA to operate in this way is a crime in the United States.
Whether my informant knew or suspected that the “secret Pentagon funds” were drug money I do not know. They did not mention narcotics.

And yes, some steryotypes are based on some degree of truth – yes the French do make a lot of cheese, yes the Russians tend to drink vodka, and in the case of the Jews – yes they are known for being good with money and financial manipulation – for which they have been kicked out of (and in to) countries. But Zionism is the real danger not Jewish financial cunning.

We humans are dualist by nature;
It is what gives us our divinity.
Therefore we are all affected by our individual indoctrinations.
My point is we all have the same good and bad in is equaly.
It is how we reach it, and I say that typicaly comes from nurture.
This is the crux of the problem.
Presently we are failng are ability too nurture.
Just ask the poor people of Palestine.

Ther are only a few who can and don’t.
We should be the gardeners of the world?
Greeks consume more cheese per capita than the French. Germany exports more. The US produces most overall. Vodka is the top drink in – America. Financial “cunning” (another old smear) has little to do with the history of Jewish money lending, esp in Europe. “Jews were heavily persecuted in Christian Europe after 1300. Since they were the only people allowed to lend money for interest (forbidden to Catholics by the church), some Jews became prominent moneylenders”…and some did not. And so on.
I know they exist, but stereotypes are generally either outdated, self-serving, or really quite lazy things, don’t you think?

There is a banner running on Sky which reports 10 killed in an Israeli missile attack which flattened a house so the toll could actually be 67.

I have just come back from my local town and it was eerily quiet for a shopping centre just four weeks before Christmas. The supermarket was pretty empty too. Perhaps this carnage of human life is having this effect and more people are now aware of what is going on due to a greater media coverage. Cast Lead started with little warning and within a day, the death toll was in the hundreds, subsequently reaching over 1,300. {http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Gaza_War}
(Correction)
Technicolour – the point being that positive discrimination in all its forms; be it against people ,countries,religions or nationalities should NOT be acceptable – as we have unfortunately seen happening with Jews, and by default, all Israelis in the last 30 years or so especially.
And the main point behind that being that zionism at this point in time is the biggest man made danger for all-including all Israelis
[Mod/Jon: deleted duplicate/incorrect version]
Oh, *that* was the point ;9 Well, the Israeli government is certainly the biggest danger to the Palestinians. Others would argue that, overall, corporate capitalism is the biggest threat to our survival, or man-made environmental poisons, or global warming – or giant lizards.
“as we have unfortunately seen happening with Jews, and by default, all Israelis in the last 30 years or so especially.” – I don’t understand this bit.
By the way, were the Burmese ‘positively discriminated’ for in order to get their bloody dictatorship?

Fair comment. However, I suspect it is more insightful to substitute israel with the name of the country one lives in.

As for stereotypes, I’m Irish. I don’t have much time for them. As for Jews, I can’t really comment. I don’t knowingly know any. I say “knowingly” because I don’t ask people what they are, or what they believe. So unless they tell me they’re Jewish, I’m not going to know. I only found out relatively recently that our Minister for Justice is a Jew.

@Technicolour Still wondering whether you have heard the words ‘shanda fur die goyim’, ‘yok’, ‘shiksa’, and ‘schmutzig’.
I should add, Technicolour, that although earlier today I thought you might be innocently misguided, your Burmese reference, as the dead bodies of Arab children, men and women in Gaza mount up, suggests you are knowingly purveying hasbara. And if you don’t know you’re doing it, that’s little excuse, because you should do.

…..Zionism tends to cover all those things sadly – not sure about the lizards bit though – they make great pets im sure but maybe not such good corporate dictators
“By the way, were the Burmese ‘positively discriminated’ for in order to get their bloody dictatorship”
….don’t know about the Burmese situation – can you enlighten? Allthough i don’t remember anyone being called a racist natzie or equivelant to an anti semite for daring to judge an aspect of Burmese culture, ways or government that they did not agree with or approve of,or a dangerous extreme form of political correctness that disallows any public disaproval of Burma in the media or anywhere else..

“Be specific with your drivel.”
OK Ben, allow me to be specific. I was surprised that you joked with your mate ‘modo whilst he repeatedly advocated holding all jews responsible for the crimes of the isareli/us/euro war machine. But no, instead you join in having a go at technicolour. Again.
Do you think your heroes gandi and king would applaud your behaviour?
Ben: “They may not know who they are”,
Come offit.
“so you might want to develop some intestinal fortitude”
have plenty, thanks
“and can the cryptic references. Be specific with your drivel”.
dear oh dear, back to insults. I think, as a relatively new addition to this board, Ben, you might be unaware that the moderators have in the past deleted the worst excesses, which is why I’m not going to repeat them here.
Dreoilin: yes, generally, of course, but my friendships have involved going to weddings and, sadly, funerals.
Am going to ignore that strange person throwing around Hebrew and German – not sure what point they’re trying to make. I can post some far ruder words in Russian, if they wish, however.
“Purveying hasbara”: how interesting. What do you mean by ‘hasbara’ N, I wonder? And in what sense is objecting to the idea that Jewish people alone and everywhere must be held accountable for the actions of the Israeli government, and citing Burma as an example, ‘purveying’ it. Do tell.

“@Technicolour. Still wondering whether you have heard the words ‘shanda fur die goyim’, ‘yok’, ‘shiksa’, and ‘schmutzig’.”
I have been in plenty of jewish company. I have never heard those words. I doubt you have heard them much either. Stop pretending you have been victimised by those nasty jews.
WTF is this all ganging up on Techniclour? I am feeling left out.
“dear oh dear, back to insults. I think, as a relatively new addition to this board, Ben, you might be unaware that the moderators have in the past deleted the worst excesses, which is why I’m not going to repeat them here”
Then, kindly refrain from your inflammatory adhoms. It is neither instructive, nor productive in shape or form. You seem more interested in creating divisions, but you may not see it that way.
So, I am being specific.
@Technicolour – I’m putting you on ignore now. You tried to argue a point based on your wide “experience” of knowing Jewish people, and I politely asked whether you were familiar with a few words and phrases that every Jewish person in the country will know, and with how those words and phrases are used.
If you don’t want to answer, you don’t have to. In your final paragraph, you attribute a view to me that I don’t hold, and that as far as I’m aware, no-one else here holds either. Asking me in a sneering tone to tell you why I hold it, when I don’t hold it, won’t get you anywhere. It’s not honest to argue like that. I am not going to get into a semantic discussion regarding the meaning of ‘hasbara’, when the Zionazis are burning babies, and could massacre 1000 or 10000 more people before the week is out, and the propagandist battalions in their war machine are on overtime.
Phil; I don’t know what you are referring to. I don’t hold any one specific group responsible.
I am responsible, to an extent because I have supported (indirectly, by silence) policies which extend current World crises. No one can extract themselves from responsibility for the condition of things on this Planet. I create waste and pollution. I voted for Obama. I am more focused on my own issues, than I am on those of others. But I don’t think I’m alone in this blame game.
Is that sufficient?
Emily Maitlis, staring without expression straight at the camera, opens the 6pm News with the sentence –
Israel says it is prepared for a significant expansion of its military programme in Gaza.
I think she must work for the Israeli Government.
@Phil – quoting my words to Technicolour: “Still wondering whether you have heard the words ‘shanda fur die goyim’, ‘yok’, ‘shiksa’, and ‘schmutzig’”
“I have been in plenty of jewish company. I have never heard those words. I doubt you have heard them much either. Stop pretending you have been victimised by those nasty jews.
You either know diddly-squat about Jewish racism, or you’ve chosen to deny its existence. I’m not pretending anything. I note you’re getting nasty, now we’re getting to the nitty-gritty.
There are people from Jewish backgrounds who’ve escaped from the racist culture. May many more do so!
Is someone going to say ‘yok’ doesn’t have connotations of ‘idiot’ and ‘shiksa’ of ‘whore’? Or that Yiddisher frummers don’t say ‘schmutzig’, with connotations of ‘dirty animal’, to warn their children not to be mates with gentiles?
I’m not going to write a treatise here on word usage. I won’t accept being challenged on this. Either you don’t know about that stuff, in which case, learn fast; or you do, in which case, well, you’ve chosen your side.
You’re on ignore now, too.
The US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro joined Defense Minister Ehud Barak on a visit to an Iron Dome battery Sunday shortly before he flies out to brief the White House on the Gaza crisis.
Barak thanked President Obama and all those Americans who past and present contributed to the financing and development of the Iron Dome missile interception system. This defensive weapon has intercepted a total of 300 incoming Palestinian missiles, nearly 90 percent of the rockets threatening Israeli towns, he said. Its performance “made it possible for us to prepare the next stages of Operation Pillar of Cloud which may be even tougher. There is no better symbol of the close US-Israeli military cooperation.

I’m intrigued by Komodo’s statement, “I don’t do empathy”. (I’m not “getting at you”, Komodo, I’m genuinely interested. I have a son studying neuroscience, molecular biology, etc. Don’t ask me the name of his PhD, I can never remember it.)
As I understood it, the fact that humans can and do empathise used to be used as an argument for why we were of a ‘higher order’ than animals. (I would say “other animals”.) It was claimed that animals didn’t experience empathy and didn’t act from altruism.
Scientists are working on debunking this theory, and these days there is much discussion about the subject.

BTW, I seem to have confused Clark’s avatar with Komodo’s, earlier, and replied to ‘Clark’ when I should have been replying to ‘Komodo’ (about the DVD etc.)
Tech,
I’ve never had the good fortune to be invited to a Jewish wedding. The Jewish population of Ireland is tiny. “It has experienced a marginal 2.2 per cent increase from 1,930 in 2006 to 1,984 last April” according to the Irish Times, last March.
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2012/0330/1224314101049.html
Ben,
Could you kindly point to Tech’s “inflammatory adhoms”? Would you quote them please?
Technicolor,
You do not cease to amuse me with the wealth of information, which flows like a thick sirup flow through your comments. I am amazed to learn that “Greeks consume more cheese per capita than the French.” That naturally explains why they have got so heavily into debt. Being no longer satisfied with saw dust, the cunning Greeks gorged themselves daily on their feta cheese and thus have eaten all their savings away and had to run to their banks for more cash. Once the European Commission forces them to reduce their inordinate feta consumption everything will be fine again.
I fully agree with you that the poor Jews have always wanted to toil the land or pick cotton in Virginia but the dreadful goyim forced them to land money for interest and to become slave traders. What an indescribable suffering they must have felt while raped to became bankers against their will and then ordered to provide fat credits to governments eager to start wars.
