Quito, October 18 (Andes) .- Jamil Mahuad Witt, (elected president of Ecuador for the period 1998-2002 and ousted in January 2000), narrowly won the election. Álvaro Noboa, defeated candidate, requested a recount of votes that the electoral court denied. During the campaign he had the support of powerful financiers such as Fernando Aspiazu Seminar, Banco del Progreso; Danilo Carrera Drouet and Guillermo Lasso Mendoza, Bank of Guayaquil; Ernesto Noboa Bejarano; Ernesto Estrada (Hijastro of Luis Noboa Naranjo and, at that time son-in-law of Leon Febres Cordero); Fuad Dassum; National soap; Soft drinks; Osvaldo Zavala Egas; Jhonny Czarnwinsky, My Commissariat; The Universal. Also Mariano González Portés, Ingenio San Carlos; Oscar Orrantia; According to Wong, Reybanpac / Fertisa; Plywood; Pronaca; Coca Cola Guayaquil; Fidel Egas Group (Banco del Pichincha / Diners); Olga de Eljuri and Roque Sevilla, among others. And although Ramon Yulee, signed as campaign treasurer, Eduardo Mahuad Witt, brother of Jamil was the fundraiser. It is curious that only between Danilo Carrera Drouet (Emperor of the Ecuadorian Olympic Committee, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Grupo Financiero Guayaquil, Manager of the Central Bank, head of the Ministry of Industries during the last military dictatorship, and President of the Monetary Board Fabián Alarcón) and Guillermo Lasso Mendoza, current candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, the two leaders of the Bank of Guayaquil at that time, added 1,027 million sucres as a contribution to that election campaign. Fernando Aspiazu Seminary was the largest contributor with three million one hundred thousand dollars. And it was so evident that the now ex-banker and Mahuad were fined by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) for having contributed illegally. Still, nothing could stop him and, with such support, he broke a dozen banks and similar numbers of financial institutions. Mahuad issued a bailout law that allocated state resources to address the problems of the broken private banks that financed his election campaign. This crisis caused, among other things, the emigration of compatriots to Spain and Italy. In November 1998, Filanbanco, the parent company of the country's fifth largest financial group, presented liquidity and solvency problems, prompting a bail-out by the government of Loan, Tungurahua and Finagro banks. After the fall of Filanbanco and other small banks, the bank of El Progreso, considered the second bank of the country by the size of its assets, and one of the most profitable institutions. To prevent the entire financial system from collapsing, the government opted to freeze deposits. The result was a situation of insolvency in most of the financial system and distrust in the sucre. Jamil Mahuad led the country to one of the worst economic crises of all time. Excessive printing of bills to meet state obligations triggered the dollar's trading at levels never before seen, at which point it adopted the US dollar instead of sucre, with a change from 4,500 to 25,000 sucres. Meanwhile the "descendants of the statue", as Asaad Bucaram called them, the owners of the private media, continued talking about honesty to give false moral lessons. Jorge Núñez, in the book "Banks and Bankers". From Urbina Jado to Aspiazu, Editorial El Conejo, 1999, said that "Throughout the twentieth century, private banking scandals have shaken the consciousness of successive generations of Ecuadorians." "In the 1920s, the economic and political disruptions of the bancocracy, associated with a voracious and insatiable state, unleashed severe inflation, created the scene for the massacre of workers of November 15, 1922, corrupted the political system and aggravated Effects of the export crisis ". "In the second half of the century ... the scandals of La Previsora ​​and the Bank of Guayaquil broke out in the 60s, which were solved in the same way: covering the black holes of the corrupt bank, while Rodrigo Icaza Candell and other fugitives The good life abroad or set up new companies ... " "Years later came the fall of the Discount Bank, also caused by poor management, denounced by a sector of the same shareholders." "... The bankruptcy of Banco Continental, whose beneficiaries were the Ortega Moreira brothers, and whose" bail-out "hurriedly attended the then President of the Monetary Board, Ana Lucía Armijos, violated the law and gave the bank owners an enormous amount of resources State, never justified ... " But they now live Christian in Miami from the benefits provided by a bank and various real estate companies. For them there was never an extradition request and some of the brothers get angry when they are told thieves. "Most financial institutions ended the first five years of the 1980s by owing to the Central Bank amounts greater than their equity value. By 1984, the emergency debt of the Ecuadorian banking system, with the issuing institute, exceeded 60,000 million sucres, while the capital and reserves of the banking system did not exceed 50,000 million sucres. During the 1980s, Ecuador experienced a process of structural adjustment ordered by the multilateral credit agencies (World Bank, IMF) to pay off the external debt. The social conflicts created an atmosphere of political instability that extended until the 90s and only in the first decade of the 21st century could be stopped the voracity of the bankers. http://www.andes.info.ec/es/actualidad/7774.html

But the attention grabber is the Houston-based company’s target: Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, whose steady dumps of leaked emails from Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign have given supporters of Donald Trump the only cheering news of the last few weeks. [Read the latest update on this story.] [RELATED: Internet cutoff is just the latest trouble for WikiLeaks’ Assange] In some ways, toddandclare.com’s campaign against Assange is as revelatory as the leaked emails themselves, illustrating the powerful, sometimes unseen, forces that oppose WikiLeaks. Whoever is behind the dating site has marshaled significant resources to target Assange, enough to gain entry into a United Nations body, operate in countries in Europe, North America and the Caribbean, conduct surveillance on Assange’s lawyer in London, obtain the fax number of Canada’s prime minister and seek to prod a police inquiry in the Bahamas. And they’ve done it at a time when WikiLeaks has become a routine target of Democratic politicians who portray Assange as a stooge of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his reported efforts to disrupt the U.S. election.

UK, Law Commission Unbecoming Shuffle -Key Stakeholders EXCLUDED from Consultation Process - Ahead of (ONE-SIDED) Report

We can’t allow them to be silenced Shami Chakrabarti With its proposed changes to the Official Secrets Act, the Law Commission would make it all but impossible for government wrongdoing to be exposed Tuesday 14 February 2017 04.15 AEDT Last modified on Tuesday 14 February 2017 09.00 AEDT The Law Commission is an important body with a proud history. Set up in 1965 to provide independent advice to government on law reform, it describes itself as non-political ... ... So the government’s invitation to the commission in 2015 to look at what is bureaucratically called the “protection of official data” must have caused considerable excitement. Protecting national security is important, but investigative journalism and individual ethics have a place in democracy --Shami Chakrabarti, The Guardian Coming two years after Edward Snowden’s revelations on the blanket surveillance of entire populations without parliamentary or judicial sanction and with an extremely spurious basis in law, no one can have imagined this to be a routine spring clean of the Official Secrets Act or simple “future-proofing”, as was suggested in the consultation paper published on 2 February. This is an extremely political area of the law, and venturing into this territory brings great risk to an independent body that would never want to be seen as a proxy for any government or the security state. This is why there is considerable concern about the consultation process so far, and the fact that only seven weeks remain for public input – let alone some of the provisional recommendations. Then there is the lopsided nature of who has been consulted. It seems that government departments, the police and security agencies have understandably had the ear of the commission, but no journalists or past whistleblowers. Three NGOs are said to have been consulted, but they don’t seem to agree that this happened. Finally, and tellingly, the consultation paper was not openly launched in the media. It was given as an exclusive to a publication thought to be onside. A commission spokesperson is said to have explained that this was because that “it’s a nuanced issue. We wanted to secure an opinion editorial first.” That is spin worthy of a political operation, not public communication from a quasi-judicial body. The provisional recommendations include sentencing provisions stipulating draconian jail sentences, which place leaking and whistleblowing in the same category as spying for foreign powers. According to the proposals, these sentences would apply to any leaker, whether or not they were a British citizen or operating within the UK. More alarmingly still, the commission says there should be no statutory public interest defence for anyone accused of the offences. Threatened by such grave consequences and offered little-to-no legal protection, it is surely more than we can ask of any journalist or genuine whistleblower to come forward in order to protect the public interest. Journalists and the whistleblowers with whom they work perform an essential service in ensuring transparency – often where government would keep us in the dark. There are at present very few means by which wrongdoing within government agencies can be exposed, and as a consequence it falls to individuals. There is no question that protecting national security is important, but public interest journalism and individual ethics have their place in democracy alongside security and the law. ... ... journalists, human rights lawyers and whistleblowers ... have so far been excluded from the process. It is essential for the credibility of the report (and the commission) that a greater balance between the two sides of this debate are reflected. ...
