Americans Are About To Make a Mistake
As someone born in Ecuador with friends and relatives in Latin America, I’m terrified watching how people in the United States are being manipulated just like people in Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador to put a Marxist in power.
The similarities between Rafael Correa’s campaign for president of Ecuador and that of Obama for U.S. president are amazing. Correa had no experience but was young, charismatic and had good speaking skills. Correa’s slogans were the same as Obama’s: CHANGE, YES WE CAN, etc.
Informed Ecuadorians were not able to convince their clueless compatriots that Correa was a fake and not the young and wonderful savior the media was portraying. They could not compete in ads with the millions Correa had (mostly from unknown sources).
Once he took over, Correa dissolved Congress and took control of the legislative and judicial powers. In other words, he became a dictator. Ecuadorians are poorer than ever. The CHANGE has been toward Marxism and greater poverty for all.
It’s now obvious that Correa works with Chávez and terrorists AGAINST Ecuadorians and the United States.
Most informed Ecuadorians, when they realized the similarities between Correa and Obama, felt confident that Americans could not be fooled as Ecuadorians had. However, it seems many Americans are as clueless as the poorest and most ignorant people in Ecuador or Bolivia.
I hope it’s not too late and Americans realize that Obama is a Marxist with ties to Islamic terrorists, just like Castro, Chávez, Morales, Correa and Odinga.
Having learned recently about Odinga’s campaign strategies from Jerome Corsi, I see that those strategies are almost identical not only to those of Obama, but also to the strategies of Chávez in Venezuela, Morales in Bolivia and Correa in Ecuador. Chávez, Morales and Correa are now dictators who are imposing “socialismo del siglo XXI” (Marxism) in their countries and are working with Islamic terrorists (Iran) against their people and against the U.S.
Here are Odinga’s campaign strategies, which you’ll see are also Obama’s:
The class issue - “elevate the emotions within all youth….be willing to vote for us in the protest.” The media - “Since 2005, the Orange team has maintained intimate contacts across all media.” “victory in the media war could very well mean victory at the polls.” Viral emails
Corruption - “Branding the opponent as irredeemably corrupt will provide diversionary slavos” (Note diversionary tactic)
The age issue - “Our core supporters are essentially young people”
“billboards and leaflets ridiculing the old people” “Raila with young people - the promise of a buoyant future” (Note “ridiculing old people.” This blog wrote about this when the Obama camp ridiculed Mccain in the video about emails.)
Ethnic Tensions/Violence as a last resort - “To discourage voter participation in hostile areas.” “Use ODM agents on the ground to engineer ethnic tensions in target areas.” (Note threat of race riots in this country)
We need to defend our future and the future of our children from a Marxist who is trying to take over through a strategy of lies, manipulation, intimidation and fraud. As you can see, fraud (through ACORN) is happening.
chilling....
Go live in a socialist country for a while before flaming us! The elite life like kings and the other 95% can barely buy food. The good life has ended for America.
Good post.
The similarities are easy to see.
I really think the American people are smart enough to see through the smoke on this one.
WOW-—very interesting. THis REALLY could be used in the last week (next week) as the entire subject of a TV ad for McCain, but it won’t. The subject of S. America was touched on glancingly by both of them, some got the import of it, when it was clear where Obama’s sympathies were, most didn’t. What this piece illuminates is the third world character of thuggery that is an integral part of the Obama campaign. Just think....it CAN happen here......
From your mouth to God’s ears. But I disagree.... apparently the American people are far more interested in so-called “reality” shows and are totally ignorant of this, the biggest “reality” show of all.
bttt
AHHHHHHH! The horror! The HORROR!
(gauges own eyes out)
How many Ecuadorians own firearms?
There's a basic difference...
You'd think so, eh? I'm hoping for the same thing, we'll see in a few weeks just how smart Americans really are. Things coming out recently about BHO should cause every American to pause and think about what they are doing. Let's just wish that enough people hear it. If the MSM would be even slightly fair in their coverage, Obbie would be toast. We all know that ain't gonna happen though.
Nothing new. Hitler and others have done this before.
DO WE REALLY NEED THAT?
You haven’t been around long enough to know that we really do need that here. ;) She’s fair game just like Hitlery was.
McCain will win.
And isn't that interesting?
Remember when Republicans were going to have one party rule and the media repeated over and over and over and over that "The AMERICAN PEOPLE don't like one party rule!" Now, it's all the rage!
Schools. Marxists control the schools and pour propaganda into our children every day. They are not taught about what America really is or has done in the world. They are only taught how evil we are because we are the wealthiest nation in the history of the world. This has been going on for over two generations, our kids are being grown up stupid for us.
One of the most important thing we could do is get vouchers passed. PICK who educates your children.
