CIA
Correa to be assassinated by CIA before elections by John Robles
01-08-2013
Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa says that he is being
targeted for assassination by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and
judging from all available information it is almost a given that he is right.
The reasons are many: oil, trade, exploitation of resources, geopolitical
ambitions, military and strategic positioning, foreign policy objectives,
regional alliances and once again that name comes up: Julian Assange. If Correa
knows everything Assange does he is definitely walking around with crosshairs on
his head.
Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa has stated that a plot
to assassinate him has been uncovered and that the timeline calls for him to be
killed prior to the upcoming elections. His assassination is part of a CIA plot
to destabilize the entire region.
Given the long and sordid history of the CIA in Latin
America and the almost countless cases of assassination, regime changes and
propping up dictators throughout Latin America, Correa’s claim is not only
believable but also almost a given when we look at a few of the things he has
and has not done for and against the all powerful US interests.
When I began investigating for this article I was surprised
at the number of witnesses and sources that have disappeared or had “strange”
problems preventing them from getting evidence to the public, but of course that
is not unusual, what is unusual here is the sheer number.
The most egregious “sins” Correa is guilty of are the
closing of the US Manta Military Base and the eviction of all US forces and the
subsequent offering of the base to China and the granting of political asylum to
WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange.
For Correa, if he is right, the clock is ticking.
Ecuadorians go to the polls on February 17 less than a month and a half from
now. Reportedly his life will be at greatest risk when campaigning begins and
after he registers to run, on January 15th until the actual election, unless of
course Correa becomes afraid and decides to not run and hides in the shadows,
something which is highly unlikely.
The latest information about a plot to assassinate Correa
came from a Chilean journalist named Patricio Mery Bell who was investigating an
alleged $88-million drug-money-funded CIA plot to destabilize the Ecuadorian
government and the region.
Correa has also become a pain in the neck for the US as he
often maintains the same stance on issues as Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez,
currently battling with a strangely coincidental case of cancer.
Another huge sin by Correa is that, just like Muammar
Gaddafi, he has reduced poverty in his country, increased the standard of living
for all citizens, expanded democracy and while doing all of this has maintained
an independent political and economic stance. Like Libya, Cuba, Iraq before the
invasion and other countries where social democratic and socialist systems were
growing and prospering, Ecuador’s societal model can not be allowed to stand as
it contradicts US propaganda and capitalist interests.
Ecuador is also one of Latin America’s largest oil
exporters and rejoined OPEC in 2007, and like Iraq and Libya is diversifying its
trade and hard currency reserves away from the dollar. Something both Hussein
and Gaddafi did days before their countries were invaded.
So the reasons for the CIA assassinating Correa are many
and obvious, if he can be replaced by a US leaning puppet, the US can exploit
Ecuador’s oil, enable the exploitation of the population by US corporate and
business interests, further undermine other countries and leaders in the region,
expand its influence, regain its lost military position and bases, important for
logistical support for covert missions and illicit trade, and lastly evict
Julian Assange from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
