===

"Recommendations due to the very high level of insecurity, robberies, and kidnappings in all regions of the Said NonSpecific Country."

TAKE NOTE and PLEASE READ AND PUT INTO PRACTICE:

1. AVOID GOING TO gas stations, pharmacies, supermarkets, etc. AT NIGHT.

2. GO TO THE SUPERMARKET WITH OTHERS and check the cars around yours before getting in to make sure there's nothing suspicious.

3. AVOID TRAVELING ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT. IF YOU ARE HIT ON THE ROAD, DO NOT STOP!!!

4. If a car pulls up head-on and blocks your way while you're driving, DO NOT STOP. Preferably, hit the car's rear end (between the rear tire and the trunk) so you can get out, accelerate, and avoid braking.

5. DO NOT LEAVE anything visibly valuable in your car: glasses, briefcases, purses, backpacks, cell phones, laptops, packages, bags, etc.

6. ALWAYS lock the doors when you get in the car and keep your wallet out of sight.

7. Constantly change your route to work, school, university, friends, family, etc.

8. Do not receive anything from strangers at your doorstep. If they are leaving an envelope or invitation, have them slip it under your door. If you need a receipt signed, have them slip it under your doorstep and then sign it. They may be impregnated with scopolamine.

9. Always lock the door or gate to your home or apartment.

10. DO NOT FIGHT OR ARGUMENT with anyone in a car-to-car situation.

11. DO NOT WEAR shirts with logos of your business or workplace.

12. DO NOT POST your workplace or residence on social media. Also, do not post where you are at the moment. For example, if you are eating at a restaurant, don't post it right away; wait until you leave the place and then post it.

13. REMEMBER, YOU ARE vulnerable within 3 blocks of your home or work. If they want to kidnap you, they've already studied you 2 months in advance and already have escape routes within 3 blocks of your home or work. So, if they try to grab you or arrest you, DO NOT STOP!!! If you leave that 3-block area, they no longer have escape routes and they'll let you go.

14. IF SOMEONE pulls up next to you in a car and shows you a gun, DO NOT GET OUT OF YOUR CAR!!!, Accelerate and drive away!!! They don't want to kill you, they want to kidnap you or steal your car!!!

Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It could save your life or the life of a loved one. Due to so many recent kidnappings and murders, even during the day it's important to remember some of the things you should do in an emergency situation.

This information is for you, man or woman. It's especially for you to share with your family and loved ones, as well as with everyone you know. After reading these 14 crucial tips, send them to someone you care about. ‼We should never stop being careful‼-

For corrupt judges & lawyers- "...So, let's use the same logic with my "buddies." If as a lawyer you are found guilty of having bribed a judge or prosecutor or you are that judge or prosecutor bribed, it is impossible for us to think that it is coherent that we can once again entrust them with their participation in the system of administration of justice.

A corrupt judge, lawyer or prosecutor must be banned for life from practicing the profession. Let them go out to sweep streets or pass cafes, but in this profession they cannot participate again. Because without Justice there is no State and they have made sure that Ecuador is a failed State.

But I am more radical: I propose that the perpetual inability to practice the profession ...
