President Correa on Assange in a recent interview.

[sabrina 1]

32. Occupy fared well in the US?? Are you serious? In a coordinated

attack across the country the US attempted to crush the Occupy Movement, arresting, beating and abusing peaceful protesters, some of them still in jail charged with, guess what? Yes, 'TERRORISM'

I never saw you standing up for Occupiers on this board so your sudden concern for them now, especially in other countries, is very odd, to say the least. In fact, if my memory is correct, were you not among the few here who defended the Government's attacks on OWS? You can correct me if I'm wrong.

You seem to be trying to discredit one of the most popular Progressive Democratic leaders in Latin America and failing badly. But the question is why? Why would a Democrat try to do that? Correa has a 70% approval rating in Ecuador from a people who have been trying to do what Occupy is trying here, to minimize the power of the Global Oligarchs. So clearly Occupy's main message would appeal to Correa, he is the end result of the people's protest against the 1% who trashed that region of the world.

The reason Occupy is smaller in Latin America is because the decades of destruction by the 1% there is now being addressed with the elections of people like Correa who is still fighting them, and their PROPAGANDA, every day.

How about dealing with the topic of the OP? Attacking Latin American Progressive Democrats is a distraction from the main topic, and continually reposting about that one issue, which you don't seem to understand, nor have much understanding of the history of the US and Latin America, certainly doesn't address it.
