The Julian Assange Show: Rafael Correa (E6)

This week, Julian Assange talks to the President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa. Correa is a left wing populist who has changed the face of Ecuador. But unlike his predecessors he holds a Ph.D. in economics. According to US embassy cables, Correa is the most popular President in Ecuador's democratic history. But in 2010 he was taken hostage in an attempted coup d'etat. He blames the coup attempt on corrupt media and has launched a controversial counter-offensive. Correa says the media defines what reforms are possible. Assange tries to figure out is Ecuadorian president justified and what is his vision for Latin America.

I agree, Nikki.  They are always casting dispersions on others to cover their own azzes. They've been going by the same old playbook for a very long time. They dont have a collective original thought about them.  Cut the head off the snake.

Thanks, Sweettina. Yes I've heard this and even if it's true I don't want to see Assange jailed on obviously trumped up charges nor brought to the US.  We see how they are treating Manning and it would be worse for Assange. Two wrongs don't make a right.  If it's true then the US knows who is behind it so let them go after the guilty ones not their puppets.

Great post!  Gordon Duff says Assange is an Israeli plant, dont know about that.  He's told some truth we needed to know.  Thanks Nikki!

You're right Suzie and So. America's middle class is on the rise while the old western democracies are losing theirs.

If you ask me i think south america is a sleeping Giant ...  this was very interesting i do not know much about the Ecuadorian President but he seemed refreshingly honest and charming too .. Ecuador is a very beautiful place i hope Julian Assange finds refuge as well..
