BREAKING: Swedish software developer who is allegedly close to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is arrested at Quito airport, Ecuadorian official says.
Moreno is an ally, but he’s a “dirty” ally — not that I am sure there is such a thing as a “clean” politician in Ecuador. Correa is likely worse, and a committed Socialist as well.
Moreno is a US ally, I should clarify...
*** Moreno likely dallied, trying to squeeze $$ out of the US. ***
He got 182 million in debt relief via US/IMF, IIRC.
Oh, bull crap.
Of course, the media pounces once he said that in response to the question “Do you still love Wikileaks?” Must be “Russia collusion is back” and/or “Twenty-Fifth Amendment” time.
Unless Pam Anderson got a full cavity search at Heathrow, I think I’m pretty sure I know where the encryption keys are.
good point. "love" is the key word he was answering.
Sometimes I'm slow
Interesting. Thanks for the additional info and replies.
Many mysterious Arkancides are about to occur.
Speaking of the case against Chevron:
How did Imran Awan come to be represented by a lawyer who is close to both Bill and Hillary Clinton? Mr. Awan, so far as one knows, does not know the Clintons personally. But his chief protector, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, certainly does. The Florida congresswoman was an outspoken ally of Hillary Clinton during her 2008 and 2016 presidential runs. And Awan’s attorney, Christopher Gowen, is also a former employee and longtime friend of the Clintons. He began his legal career on Debbie Wasserman Schultz’ home turf as a Miami-Dade County public defender. Later he would be a founding partner of Gowen Silva & Winograd, a law firm with offices in Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia. His most famous (or infamous) highlight as a litigator was his defense of a fellow lawyer, Steven Donziger, who, according to a federal district court, had submitted fraudulent evidence in order to win a $9.5 billion class-action suit on behalf of several Ecuadorean citizens against Chevron; the U.S. Supreme Court last June ruled against Donziger in affirming the judgment of his unsuccessful appeal. Gowen during the George W. Bush years worked as a travel aide for Bill Clinton and for then-Senator Hillary Clinton. He also was a fact checker for Bill Clinton’s 2004 presidential memoir, My Life, and the principal advance man for Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign. … ------------- The Mysteries of the House IT Scandal, NLPC, 6/18/18 | Carl Horowitz http://nlpc.org/2018/06/18/the-mysteries-of-the-house-it-scandal/ http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3665844/posts

The plaintiffs’ other attempts to enforce the judgment in jurisdictions around the globe have also failed:

In December 2015, the Supreme Court of Gibraltar issued a judgment against Amazonia Recovery Ltd., a Gibraltar-based company set up by the plaintiffs’ attorneys and investors to receive and distribute funds resulting from the Ecuadorian judgment, awarding Chevron $28 million in damages. The Court also issued a permanent injunction against Amazonia prohibiting the company from assisting or supporting the case against Chevron in any way. The court issued a similar ruling in May 2018 against the directors of Amazonia, Frente de Defensa de la Amazonia, and Ecuadorian attorney Pablo Fajardo for their role in attempting to enforce the ruling, this time awarding $38 million in damages to Chevron.

These failed efforts to enforce the Ecuadorian judgment were led by adjudicated racketeer and suspended lawyer Steven Donziger. In 2018, Donziger was suspended from practicing law in New York State and Washington, D.C. after having been found by U.S. federal courts to have engaged in a longstanding pattern of racketeering activity in procuring the Ecuadorian judgment, including multiple acts of fraud, bribery and judicial corruption.

The case- includes the lawyer’s shakedown scheme:

This was tied into a 2008 change to Ecuador’s constitution calld the “Rights of Nature”... backdoor excuse to give the government more control over the land and the indigenous people.
Essentially it is a way to steal people’s property- be they natives or anyone else, by eliminating property rights.
Correa works for Russia Today... surprise. Just did an interview of Oliver Stone who is claiming he’s being censored.
