Ecuador Ejects CIA Coup Attempt
Ecuador Coup Attempt Engineered by the CIA
As they ALL ARE in THIS HEMISPHERE!
"Troops rescue Ecuadoran president from hospital besieged by rebel police" by Associated Press | October 1, 2010
QUITO, Ecuador — Ecuadoran soldiers firing automatic weapons and concussion grenades rescued President Rafael Correa late yesterday from a hospital where he was trapped most of the day by police rebelling over a cut in benefits....
Correa, 47, told cheering supporters from the balcony of the Carondelet palace after being spirited away from the hospital at top speed that the uprising was more than a simple police protest.
“There were lots of infiltrators, dressed as civilians and we know where they were from,’’ he shouted. But he did not blame anyone specifically.
Yeah, I THINK we ALL DO!
Correa was trapped in the hospital for more than 12 hours after being treated for a tear-gassing that nearly aphyxiated him during a confrontation with hundreds of angry police officers who also shoved him and pelted him with water.
Correa expressed thanks from the balcony to all his supporters who went to the hospital and “were ready to die to defend democracy.’’
The violence began when hundreds of police angry over the new civil service law plunged this oil-exporting South American country into chaos, roughing up and tear-gassing Correa, shutting down airports and blocking highways in a nationwide strike....
You SEE WHY Ecuador is IMPORTANT to the EMPIRE!
The LIFEBLOOD of the WAR MACHINE!!
At the hospital, Correa had vowed to leave either “as president or as a corpse.’’ He also negotiated with some of the insurrectionists, but the outcome of those talks was unclear.
Hours before the rescue, the armed forces chief, General Ernesto Gonzalez, declared the military’s loyalty to Correa. He called for “a reestablishment of dialogue, which is the only way Ecuadorans can resolve our differences.’’
But Gonzalez also called for the law that provoked the unrest to be “reviewed or not placed into effect so public servants, soldiers, and police don’t see their rights affected.’’
The law, which Congress approved on Wednesday, must be published before it takes effect and that has not happened.
After police took to the streets, the government declared a state of siege, putting the military in charge of public order, suspending civil liberties and allowing soldiers to carry out searches without a warrant.
Police took over barracks in Quito, Guayaquil and other cities. Some set up roadblocks of burning tires, cutting off highway access to the capital.
Schools shut down in Quito and many businesses closed early due to the absence of police protection that left citizens and businesses vulnerable.
Looting was reported in the capital — where at least two banks were sacked — and in the coastal city of Guayaquil.
:-)
They WENT to the RIGHT PLACE!
That city’s main newspaper, El Universo, reported attacks on supermarkets and robberies due to the absence of police.
No protecting and serving in Ecuador!

QUITO, Ecuador — It was the biggest test to date of Rafael Correa’s nearly 4-year-old presidency, a bloody trial by fire for a tenacious politician whose popular government had brought relative calm to a chronically unstable country.
And FOR THAT (and oil) he needed to be OVERTHROWN!
The Ecuadoran leader called the police revolt — which left three dead, dozens injured, and briefly paralyzed this Andean nation — a coup attempt. Not an outlandish claim for a country that had eight presidents in 10 years before Correa won office.
Correa’s kindred leftist presidents, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Evo Morales of Bolivia, even accused the United States of pulling the strings behind the insurrection at an emergency meeting of South American leaders yesterday in Buenos Aires.
Yes, the WORLD SEES the TRUTH the corporate AmeriKan media conceals!!
But skeptical analysts said Thursday’s tumult appeared instead to be a revolt that spiraled out of control by hundreds of modestly paid police officers protesting cuts in benefits....
PFFFFFFFTTT!!
Analysts also tended to agree that Correa, a US- and European-educated economist, emerged strengthened from the first violent challenge to his presidency in a traditionally volatile country of 14 million with a long history of short-lived governments and of meddling by Washington.
Yes, ONCE AGAIN the AmeriKan plans have BACKFIRED!!
Will they EVER LEARN?
The armed forces high command stood by Correa, as did his most powerful political rival — and governments in the region of every political stripe.
As life quickly returned to normal across Ecuador yesterday, Correa spoke by phone for 10 minutes with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who “encouraged an ongoing, rapid, and peaceful restoration of order,’’ said Clinton’s spokesman, P.J. Crowley.
That must be the SHORTEST COUP ATTEMPT in CIA HISTORY!!
And I find anything that comes out of the mouth of that disingenuous embarrassment offensive, world. I just wanted you to know that!
He said the two agreed “to continue to work together to strengthen Ecuadoran institutions and the rule of law.’’
She's disgusting -- especially after what happened in Honduras!
Correa, 47, had ended Thursday triumphant, addressing supporters from the terrace of the presidential palace after his rescue in a hail of gunfire from the hospital where he had been trapped for 10 hours by the insurrectionist cops.
Correa has a temper, which he lost in a tense standoff at a Quito police barracks with scores of jeering police rebels who were taking part in the blitzkrieg nationwide strike, in which several hundred troops also shut down Ecuador’s two biggest airports.
I'm tired of the agenda-pushing media slam jobs directed at leaders of which the AmeriKan empire disapproves.
“If you want to kill the president, here he is! Kill me if you want to! Kill me if you are brave, instead of hiding in the crowd like cowards!’’ Correa taunted the hostile crowd, loosening his slate-blue tie and thrusting out an unprotected chest.
Minutes later, rioting police penetrated his light security detail and roughed him up. Pelted by water and fainting from tear gas — his right knee pounding from an operation last week — Correa was lifted over a wall and onto the grounds of the hospital.
Fainting? Yesterday they said it damn near choked him to death.
Merely showing up at the barracks, said Correa’s former security minister Gustavo Larrea, “was like throwing gasoline on a fire. It elevated the tone of the conflict and, what’s more, they took him hostage there. Because had he not gone, nothing would have happened.’’
Yeah, right, it is ALL HIS FAULT!
Un-flipping-real!!!!
Correa became trapped in the hospital, surrounded by hundreds of renegade cops who beat back with tear gas Correa loyalists trying to come to his aid.

That's the last I've seen of Ecuador in my Globe.
