It Doesn’t Matter if Ecuador Can Afford This Dam. China Still Gets Paid.
By NICHOLAS CASEY and CLIFFORD KRAUSS
New York Times.
Published: Dec 25,2018
REVENTADOR, Ecuador — The dam sits under the glare of an active volcano, with columns of ash spewing toward the sky.
Officials had warned against the dam for decades. Geologists said an earthquake could wipe it away.
Now, only two years after opening, thousands of cracks are splintering the dam’s machinery. Its reservoir is clogged with silt, sand and trees. And the only time engineers tried to throttle up the facility completely, it shook violently and shorted out the national electricity grid.
This giant dam in the jungle, financed and built by China, was supposed to christen Ecuador’s vast ambitions, solve its energy needs and help lift the small South American country out of poverty.
Instead, it has become part of a national scandal engulfing the country in corruption, perilous amounts of debt — and a future tethered to China.
Nearly every top Ecuadorean official involved in the dam’s construction is either imprisoned or sentenced on bribery charges. That includes a former vice president, a former electricity minister and even the former anti-corruption official monitoring the project, who was caught on tape talking about Chinese bribes.
(In light of this kind of information- should we trust the likes of Our idiot Boy Justin to arrange “deals” with China? With Our idiot Boy telling us “he likes the way the Chinese get things done” -which is apparently a reference to being able to re-write the history books to EDIT OUT Red Party screwups! And Lord knows |Our idiot Boy has a lot of stupidity to hide as well- especially since the entire Trudeau clan has told us of their fondness for bloody handed Cuban Soviet dictator Castro?)
(And Pierre Trudeau casually praised what he called “the genius of Chinese Chairman Mao for rushing 30 million Chinese to the gallows” during the Great Leap Forward! Or we could mention the aspiring film maker Sacha Trudeau who has collaborated with Iranian Ayatollahs in making anti Yankee and anti Israel propaganda films!)
Then there is the price tag: around $19 billion in Chinese loans, not only for this dam, known as Coca Codo Sinclair, but also for bridges, highways, irrigation, schools, health clinics and a half dozen other dams the government is scrambling to pay for.
It doesn’t matter whether Ecuador can afford them.
China gets paid either way.
To settle the bill, China gets to keep 80 percent of Ecuador’s most valuable export — oil — because many of the contracts are repaid in petroleum, not dollars. In fact, China gets the oil at a discount, then sells it for an additional profit.
(This of course is a big reason why Stephen Harper prohibited China from buying a big stake in Cdn oil patch! WE CAN of course SAFELY sell oil to China on OUR terms- but we MUST RETAIN overall control of OUR RESOURCE!!!!!! )
Pumping enough oil to repay China has become such an imperative for Ecuador that it is drilling deeper in the Amazon, threatening more deforestation.
(IN other words between the fiscal mess Ecuador has sunk itself in and coupled with the Cdn LIE-beral refusal to put our oil on international markets- we are actually aiding Amazon forest destruction! China wants to burn less coal and more natural gas because it is cleaner- and yet Our idiot Boy would rather leave Cdn natural gas and oil in the ground and force China to burn Australian coal!)
(LIE-berals forced Cdns to stop using coal at considerable cost- and then IGNORED options for PROFITING from helping China move away from coal use- how ABSURD IS THAT? And there is lots of natural gas on world markets but MUCH OF it is produced by “fracking” - unlike Cdn natural gas which does not need such a destructive option to be collected! And of course many people WOULD RATHER buy oil and natural gas from Cdns instead of dealing with vicious Russians!)
(Can LIE-beral policy get ANY MORE SCREWED UP? Our vaunted LIE-berals are screwing up national security, aiding our Chinese, Russian, North Korean and Iranian enemies and scorning options for saving parts of the world environment!!!)
But that is not enough. Hobbled by the debts, President Lenín Moreno has slashed social spending, gasoline subsidies, several government agencies and more than 1,000 public jobs. Most economists expect the country to slide into recession, stirring outrage.
(As the 19th century Soviet revolutionary Bakunin stated: “it is not necessary for the majority of the population to support the revolution; all that is needed is for a majority of the population to distrust its social institutions and become open to change”! In other words- bad govt - of the LIE-beral sort creates situations that Red Guards can take advantage of!)
(In Russia- the first free election after the Czar was deposed put a weak coalition of Moderates into power- with the leader being a guy named Kerensky- who wanted Russia to become a Parliamentary Monoarchy like Britain- but heavily armed Red Guards acting on plans drawn up by Lenin dissolved that legitimate govt at gun point!!)
(This sort of national distrust of institutions that Soviet cadres- whether they be Chinese, Russian or even Cdns like Our idiot Boy- can then exploit for Soviet advantage, is being used in Ecuador! And of course Our idiot Boy and his loser |LIE-berals are working hard to create the same sort of national distrust in Canada- with their massive debts, shameless vote buying, constant accusations of “systemic racism” and their deliberate neglect of criminal issues such as money laundering and organized crime activity!)
(Pierre Trudeau infamously told a group of reporters- back before he had any political ambitions- that if he ever became prime minister- “he would take Canada from the past into the future via the route of radical socialism”! )
(Of course once Pierre got interested in politics - he then had to DENY ever saying such a thing! And had to deny ever leading Cdn “peace delegations” to Moscow for Soviet propaganda shows! Former Toronto Telegram and later Toronto Sun reporter - the Czech born Lubor Zink- routinely trotted out these ugly Trudeau ideals - with Trudeau threatening to sue for slander! With Zink DARING TRUDEAU to do just that- Zink sneering “you bring your witnesses and I will bring mine! Pierre settled for banning Zink from all federal media events and never speaking either Zink`s name nor that of Toronto Sun!!)
(Pierre Trudeau has told us in writing that “the war against Nazi Germany is British Imperialism”! Pierre also told us he wanted to destroy what he called “Cdn Imperialism”! It seems obvious to me that what Pierre called Cdn Imperialism is now being called “white privilege” by his idiot son Justin!)
“China took advantage of Ecuador,” said Ecuador’s energy minister, Carlos Pérez. “The strategy of China is clear. They take economic control of countries.”
(Yes- China is on the hunt for power and prestige and mostly- for RAW RESOURCES FOR ITS PEOPLE! WE should NOT let Our idiot Boy lead us into a friendship with murderous Chinese Soviets!!!!!!)
