The Change that Ecuador Needs

The Change that Ecuador Needs

by Germanico P Vaca 

Crime and Narco groups have taken over Ecuador. If Ecuador truly wants to change the narrative and provide the utmost security for their citizen I recommend making the following changes It is much better than any plan that has been provided by the government.

Security first: The Ecuadorian government of Guillermo Lasso must promise, first and foremost, that it will deliver security in the country—and Lasso knows he will be judged on this pledge. But it is not only the government. Ordinary citizens, not just politicians, must pay close attention to security threats—both from the criminal Mexican, Colombian, Peruvian and Belgian cartels or any economic transactions across borders and from internal sources— and the people must make a pledge to vote and elect their leaders based much of that metric of security.

 

The whole population must play a role: The Ecuadorian model has to go further than a simple vision of security services deployed to civilian spaces: Most young Ecuadorians male and female must serve in the military, and mandatory conscription should be returned, the military must become the ground of training in advanced technologies such as drone, mapping, radar, computer technologies, and robotics. Later on, they can be employed in security-related professions following their service.

 

Ecuador needs to change the orientation of a dependent society on the government to a common purpose united citizenry, making them ready to endure shared sacrifice. Civilians must be able to recognize their responsibility to follow security protocols and contribute to the cause. Otherwise, Ecuador will be lost to crime, guerrillas, narcos, and mafias that will make Ecuador but a brothel of prostitution and crime. That will not stand and we must take the bull by the horns and make sure we rescue our nation. Some citizens must arm themselves (though under strict supervision) to do so.

 

Ecuador needs a widespread mobilization of Ecuadorian society in collective defense of the nation. I believe there is a potential to achieve that. The strength of every society comes from the citizens, every single person matters, and everyone must contribute.

 

Self-defense is the only way: If there’s any single principle that can change Ecuadorian society is a doctrine of self-defense. Every elementary school, Every High School, and every university must provide free courses and mandatory Tae Kwon Do, Karate, and boxing. Ecuadorians must learn to defend themselves and make the country a capable nation in how to fight—we must be able to rely on ourselves. We must understand that no other country will come to fight our battles.

 

The tragedy of Ecuadorian history is that has been robbed. We have evidence in Cueva de Los Tayos, In La Mana, in the Pucaras, In the Giants of Loja of a rich history dating back thousands of years, and yet Ecuadorian history is resumed to a few years of occupation by the so-called Incas who spoke Puquina and adopted Kiwa and Kichua, the language of our ancestors and now is spread all over the continent. But history relegates Ecuador to be merely a nation with no soul. Ecuador was forced to fight alone against a larger aggressor, and as a matter of convenience, more than half its territory has been taken. We must be clear that we cannot depend on the guarantees of others.

Some people will say that we can rely on our active defense partnerships with the United States. That is not a guarantee at all, because the United States of America only cares about hegemony and their own economic and strategic interest. Therefore, if it is up to the United States, they will follow the plan laid out by the neocons which clearly stated that in the Project of the New American century a new Gran Colombia must be encouraged to erase Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador and unite them so the United States can gain total control of the oil, gold, silver, and diamonds. The only solution for Ecuador is to rely on Self-defense and it doesn’t mean total isolation. We can maintain an active defense partnership with Brazil, and indeed with the United States to protect against Chinese ambition on the Galapagos Islands.

 

Ecuador is perceived as weak and there are great technological advances that we must accelerate including our own system of Artificial Intelligence to high jump our intelligence and deepen security partnerships with Latin American members and receive aid, weaponry, intelligence, and training to bolster its self-defense.

Intelligence dominance.

 

Ecuador must invest deeply in its intelligence capabilities to ensure that it has the means to detect and deter its enemies. Of course, one is to hope the mistakes of the stupid narcissistic Correa are not repeated as he perceived “intelligence” to be a force to protect his ass and his stupid ambitions. Ecuador will need to upgrade its intelligence services to compete against Colombia, and Peru and especially must improve capabilities to ensure that it’s prepared to prevent and repulse mafia cartels, narcoguerrillas, and criminal enterprises.

 

Technology is key: Although it must rely on US assistance, Ecuador must also choose homegrown technology solutions for many of its greatest challenges. Metal and Minerals detection and Underground penetrating radars, drone systems and counter-drone systems, and tunnel detection technology are just examples of capabilities that Ecuador can improve and create a small industry. Ecuador—already has some bright technological minds—myself and some other great people I know. Ecuador will know what threats it faces more than any partner; investing in its own solutions will allow it to be most responsive and adapt to new threats.

 

Build an innovation ecosystem: It is of the utmost importance the training many Ecuadorians to accelerate such innovation. They must receive high-tech innovation in the military with the contribution of a civilian innovation ecosystem, which in turn promotes the development of new security technologies. Ecuador has no lack of talented coders and engineers (many of whom are employed by Ecuadorian startups). Encouraging the free flow of talent and ideas between the civilian and security innovation spaces will pay long-term security and economic dividends.

 

Maintain democratic institutions: Ecuador continues to face the challenge of ending the false socialism that started as a plan from the Pentagon under the Camelot Project in 1965, which chose and trained Rafael Correa since he was a boy scout and succeeded in making him the Manchurian candidate and often paraded him like a rare monkey in Yale, Columbia and Yale University the co-creators of the evil social engineering plan. But within Ecuador itself, there is a constant threat to the rule of law, the government seems incapable of providing security and is in desperate need to uphold the core of democratic institutions and practices. Democracy needs constant maintenance. An authoritarian state is impossible in Ecuador, so Guillermo Lasso must do what is best for the nation and I believe that what I have laid out here in the beginning. He has ignored my previous free ideas. Maybe I should bill him for this article for him to believe in its value.
