18 SEP 2021- (CHL) 🏕 'Looking for a place in the Ecuadorian countryside? Here are some important considerations- 🏞 'Are you a survivalist?— 👨🏼🎤 "If you are one of those who’s expecting an an international financial meltdown or natural disaster and want a place to escape the ensuing social upheaval,
.....you’re in luck in the Ecuadorian countryside. 🎱 With relatively consistent year-round temperatures, fertile soil, abundant water, including tens-of-thousands of mountain springs, the Andes are a survivalist’s paradise.
Best of all, you will be surrounded by other survivalists. The campesinos have been surviving off the land for centuries and have learned how to deal with whatever calamity comes their way.
They can teach foreigners, even the most paranoid, a thing or two. In many remote areas, they still use a barter system for many of their transactions, and most of them still get around on foot or horseback. 🐎
Once you’ve located your great escape, get to know the locals, become involved in their activities, participate in community work days. Most important, tap into their knowledge of the area...." 🧠
'Security- "One of the most overlooked issues of those looking to buy land in the country, particularly for foreigners, is security. Violent crime and theft happens in rural areas just as it does in cities. Talk to locals, get to know the community, keep up with the local scuttlebutt, and develop a plan to protect yourself and your property. 🏹

🐍 Most important: don’t make yourself a target. Understand that large, ostentatious houses and farm structures attract attention and not always by your friends and neighbors. Live smart. Live simply...." - 👨🏻🌾

23SEP26 #Ecuador 🇪🇨 "An analysis published by CNN en Español examines several Latin American presidents who maintain political ties with Donald Trump and who, after winning elections with radical rhetoric, face social, economic, or governance challenges.
Among the cases examined are Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa , along with Javier Milei in Argentina; José Antonio Kast in Chile; Rodrigo Paz in Bolivia; and Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. CNN also analyzes recently inaugurated presidents in Honduras, Peru, and Colombia.
The publication argues that these leaders capitalized on public discontent with traditional governments and parties by proposing economic adjustments, security measures, and confrontation with their adversaries. However, it posits that this electoral strategy faces limitations when it must translate into effective governance.
Ecuador: security under question
In the Ecuadorian case, CNN focuses part of its analysis on the security strategy promoted by Noboa.
The president declared the internal armed conflict in ...
16SEP26💯%Choneros🚀"On Sept. 16, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere (JTF-WHEM)
forces successfully interdicted a floating refueling station supporting illicit at-sea drug trafficking operations in the Eastern Pacific.
Intelligence confirmed the vessel's involvement with the Los Choneros violent narco-terrorist organization.
Individuals removed from the vessel have been transferred to Ecuadorian authorities. After clearing the vessel and disembarking the crew, U.S. forces sank it.
JTF-WHEM continues to conduct precise and professional operations to dismantle the logistical networks fueling narco-trafficking in the Western Hemisphere.
"Alongside our Ecuadorian partners, we are relentlessly pursuing narco-terrorists who prey on our citizens,
undermine hemispheric security, and leave death and suffering in their wake. This deliberate, lawful, and precise operation saves lives and makes our citizens—from Ecuador to the United States—safer." -

"It is an absurdity, it is laughable, to speak of such a
pending disaster as "The End of the World."
We are discussing the end of Humanity, or we are discussing the
end of Civilization, or we are perhaps even discussing
the end of some this or that Empire that we mistakenly
believe to identify with.
The end of the world will come when the sun
expands and engulfs it.
Now, is it truly a surprise that our discourse relates
economic tragedy with an ecological one?
That we actually behave as though a marked downturn in
the Market can somehow be compared to the death of Nature?
We are so enamored with our vastness and resource that we have forgotten the lark and the sparrow.
So I say, come armageddon. Come, you horsemen.
Let us speak these things no more."
