U.S. Opens Military Action in Ecuador Against ‘Terrorist Organizations’

The United States and Ecuador have launched joint military operations against “designated terrorist organizations” in the South American country, the Pentagon said on Tuesday night, in what appeared to be a major expansion of the U.S. military’s unilateral strikes against boats in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific that the Trump administration has accused of carrying drugs.

U.S. Special Forces soldiers are advising and supporting Ecuadorean commandos on raids across the country against suspected drug shipment facilities and other drug-related sites, according to a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss operational matters.

Communist China Helps Itself to Ecuador

“We are basically being plundered. There are no words. There are no words to describe this tragedy. They [China] have control of the natural resources,” said Ecuadorean investigative journalist and presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio in the award-winning 2022 documentary, This Stolen Country of Mine. “China took control of the natural resources. They control the hydroelectric plants, they control the oil, a large part of mining, and they control political power. We’ve been colonized. Again.”

Like Canada under the LPC.

Presidential Candidate in Ecuador Is Shot Dead During Rally

A presidential candidate in Ecuador was killed on Wednesday evening when gunfire burst through a political rally in the capital, Quito, just days before an election that has centered around the country’s increasingly dire security situation.

The death of the candidate, Fernando Villavicencio, was confirmed by President Guillermo Lasso. Mr. Villavicencio was a former journalist who was polling near the middle of eight people running, and was among the most outspoken candidates on the link between organized crime and government officials.
