"...I therefore anticipate that the international order is relatively soon going to be rudely rearranged. It is a firm guarantee that mainland Europe and the mainland USSA, aka, the Lower 48, will not emerge unscathed from the oncoming war." - https://eventhorizonchronicle.blogspot.com/2022/09/300000-more-troops-everything-has.html
I absolutely need and gratefully accept any and all donations! Everything that we have known in our lifetimes is about to go bye-bye and will never be back again, not ever. I know that I keep repeating this like a mantra, but it is nonetheless true. If you are able and willing to donate I really do need your support at this time in order to better prepare. The USSA and Europe are going to get royally hammered, but with any luck, life here in South America will continue on. For how to make a cash donation please contact me at: dr.samizdat1618@gmail.com This is the preferred method of donation for me right now. Do NOT send PayPal.

1. my general thoughts on the state of play, globally, 2. how that is playing into ... the real-estate scenario in Vilcabamba (and Ecuador more generally),
3. my thoughts on the current Ecuadorian scenario, its attendant politics, etc, 4. what the feeling and flavour of things is in Vilcabamba at the moment,
5. and the latest half dozen or so real-estate listings we've added to our website. Feel free to share this link around to whomever you think might enjoy or benefit from it. Anyone who has any questions or wants to organize a chat with either myself or Santiago ... can PM me here, or alternatively get in touch via all the means supplied in this update. Best wishes to all.-
"......1. Global State of Play- "I have to say, this is an exciting, grimly fascinating and (frankly) kind of terrifying ... time to be alive. For anyone who has retained their critical thinking capacity after the relentless onslaught of propaganda and bullshit we've been subjected to in recent times, it kind of feels like society (globally) has, (since when exactly?)
become completely and ever-more-obviously un-moored from any stable or remotely sensible "platform" or common-sense ideology whatsoever ... and is now adrift in and getting buffeted by ... what feels more and more like the Perfect Storm....." - https://mailchi.mp/f628cb6b5bcf/intotheperfectstorm

11SEP22- from Long time Ecuador Expat blogger & author- Dr. Richard Sauder PHD: 'Event Horizon Chronicle' - Sunday, September 11, 2022- 'Here's What is About To Happen- "I fear that most people have no idea how GRIM the situation is about to become, in country after country.
The Dogs of Havoc are about to be unleashed. Prepare as best you can, wherever you may be --Toronto or Timbuktu or Montevideo or Auckland or Brussels. Many of my readers are still in denial. I don't know why, but they are.
The human mind does not handle exponential processes well. The pace of change is about to go right off the charts, in all sectors of reality in this Earth "realm." Here in Ecuador I am seeing many fewer small babies, and practically NO pregnant females at all -- I have noticed maybe three in the last two months or so -- which is consistent with a powerfully negative demographic event last year, i.e, that is when the huge, national,...." -
Ecuador Sit-Rep:
- "Even if there is not military combat in Ecuador, as the global system chaotically unravels in the coming months and next few years, this country is still going to be severely buffeted by what takes place in other regions of the world, be that North America, Europe, or Eastern Asia. Among other issues, Ecuador is one of the countries that officially uses the Federal Reserve Note (the so-called "dollar") as its national currency......''
"... Since that time, from my perspective, political, economic and social conditions have only continued to deteriorate. Given what I am seeing, hearing and reading in the national press, another national uprising is entirely possible, potentially even more serious than the ones in June of this year and in October of 2019, and those were both very serious events...." -

If the host will not let me be frank, open and candid,
I will not do the interview- Here is an interview i gave
not long ago to a YouTube travel channel, on the
4 C's of Ecuador Expats living: Cotacachi, Coasta, Cuenca & Cumbaya,
it may be of some help as you look into Ec for
a possible relocation destination-

Important Note #7A-
Mr. Second Passport- YOUTUBE Channel is Dominic Buenamici -
owner of Quito Airport Suites - 4.84K subscribers-
https://www.youtube.com/c/MrSecondPassport/videos
We meet for lunch each week and i often times contribute to his video topics and
i approve of 90% of his content. He has been here in Ecuador living and working full time for 10+ years.
He tells the Good, the Baqd and the Ugly, and many topics not covered by most Ecuador Expats Vloggers!
The 'JP and Amelia Unconventionals' youtube channel are very unrealistic and i can only approve of about 10% of
their content, it is just not very accurate. It is a good place to start to get your attention towards Ecuador,
But, They have only been in EC aprox 3 years and are now APR / MAY 2022 talking of moving on to Panama,
Costa Rica, Peru and other destinations.

🤠(The show must go on! )👺
Back when i was young whipper snapper coming up on the south side of ATL (1970s - 'Lakewood') as a shoe shine boy in my Uncle Harry's Barber Shop the local beat cops 👮♂️carried on their Bat Utility Belt something called a 'SAP' - a thick leather strap with a large heavy piece of LEAD stitched into it. (pre, the non-lethal-tazers era) I have partnered with an outfit in the Cotacachi Leather Craft town to make a similar device designed into a fashionable Mens Coin purse, 🇪🇨'MADE IN ECUADOR'.🇪🇨
...with some practice, it's amazing what about $20 - $25 worth Sacagawea (carrying her baby) US Dollar coins in a zippered tooled leather 'Slap-Jack' can do when wielded and applied in the correct manner. With ECU911 being a cash based society, and more especially now a days we all have a need for some handy loose change on hand at all times.!
I offer and bring these custom made "Journeyman Jacks-Slaps'' to the weekly expats meet and greet lunch every Tuesday, i offer 2 different models, asking $25. & $30. each. - They can also be found on-line in the USA and muled down, but often times they are made of inferior material and lesser quality stitching made in CHINA. - https://www.desantisholster.com/inner-city-slicker/
i also have 2 different models of the tactical stunn flashlights for $40 & $50. each, with some regular practice and familiarity they can also deliver a hi-voltage stunning surprise to an assailant, and just by the sound of the arcing (welder type of sound effects) zapper sends the feral dogs on their merry way, with no need to make physical contact.
-We can also talk more freely and openly f2f (not allowed on fb) about many other very practical non-lethal and legal systems and devices that can be easily and legally muled down. I have a couple of reliable and economical mules i can refer and rely on.---✈🐴
