Ecuador’s passionate re-embrace of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) offers one of the clearest and most dramatic signs that the country’s leadership is dead-set on shedding any vestiges of the “post-neoliberal” era it was said to have entered a decade ago during former President Rafael Correa’s Citizens’ Revolution.
The warmth displayed by authorities over the past month to visiting U.S. Vice President Mike Pence and a team from the IMF, respectively, further proves that Ecuador is melting back into the arms of international financial interests.

Q: When was the last time a national leader stood up for his own people?
A: Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi come to mind, and we all know what happened to them.
And sooner or later, they'll get Donald Trump and Julian Assange, too.
Every knee must bow, and those who refuse to take the mark of the beast are put to death.
