Begin with Ecuador. The economist Andres Araos, socialist candidate, leading at the polls. Also an indigenous candidate; and a perennial candidate. . . . In Ecuador, Iran is helping socialists. A threat network that includes Cuba, Iran, and Venezuela; “the Bolivarian network.” Colombia is a holdout from the trend of strongmen government funded from the outside plus narcoterrorists within, and illicit gold; trade-based money laundering. Colombia is therefore a target. Amlo in Mexico; Bolivia. Cocaine and mafia businesses. Maduro helping the guerrillas.
