  i have people in ECU GOV and peeps in the ECU / USA Embassy in Quito that know for sure that ECU GOV  spies on WhatsApp ECU Citizens and Residents users- for example due to the Indigenous & Unions Riots back in OCT 2019 (3weeks), JUNE 2022 (4weeks) and the SEP/OCT 2025 (5Weeks) and even before that at each Pres. Election since 2014 to keep track of the citizens and the foreigner residents.

 ...the ECU GOV of course shares the WhatsApp hacked info with the ECU GOV / USA, UK, ISRAEL & CAN Embassys, - so just normal every day life mundane stuff like ordering take out food etc. is fine on WhatsApp  Wasapp, but nothing important, sensitive nor critical,- Thanks, JJinECU,

 21OCT26 Economy -'Ecuador faces diesel supply problems due to increased electricity demand - "The blackouts have raised industrial demand for diesel by 17.6%. Although Petroecuador assures that there is enough fuel, transporters report rationing and delays of up to five hours in shipments.

The electricity crisis and blackouts of up to three consecutive days a week for the industrial sector have shifted the pressure from the interconnected system directly to the fuel pumps and terminals.

Although the government of Daniel Noboa and Petroecuador assure that the national supply is guaranteed by the continuous arrival of imports, the reality is that there are problems in delivering diesel on time. This, ultimately, is evidence of a supply chain at the limit....." see more-

​28JUL 2026☣️ 'Biological War: A Scenario' is a 2026 nonfiction book by American investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen. 

Published in the United States by Dutton on July 28, 2026, the book examines the potential consequences of a large-scale biological attack or the accidental release of an engineered pathogen.

The book uses a fictional near-future catastrophe to describe how governments, health systems, armed forces and civilian populations might respond to the rapid spread of a highly lethal biological agent. 

It combines the fictional scenario with accounts of historical biological-weapons programmes, 

interviews with scientists and national-security officials, and discussion of advances in genetic engineering, synthetic biology and ๐Ÿ‘พartificial intelligence. 

It is a thematic successor to Jacobsen's 2024 book -

​16SEP26๐Ÿ’ฏ%Choneros๐Ÿš€"On Sept. 16, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere (JTF-WHEM) 


forces successfully interdicted a floating refueling station supporting illicit at-sea drug trafficking operations in the Eastern Pacific.


Intelligence confirmed the vessel's involvement with the Los Choneros violent narco-terrorist organization. 


Individuals removed from the vessel have been transferred to Ecuadorian authorities. After clearing the vessel and disembarking the crew, U.S. forces sank it. 


JTF-WHEM continues to conduct precise and professional operations to dismantle the logistical networks fueling narco-trafficking in the Western Hemisphere.


"Alongside our Ecuadorian partners, we are relentlessly pursuing narco-terrorists who prey on our citizens, 


undermine hemispheric security, and leave death and suffering in their wake. This deliberate, lawful, and precise operation saves lives and makes our citizens—from Ecuador to the United States—safer." -

Absurd

​ "It is an absurdity, it is laughable, to speak of such a pending disaster as "The End of the World." 

We are discussing the end of Humanity, or we are discussing the end of Civilization, or we are perhaps even discussing 

the end of some this or that Empire that we mistakenly believe to identify with. 

The end of the world will come when the sun expands and engulfs it. 


Now, is it truly a surprise that our discourse relates economic tragedy with an ecological one? 

That we actually behave as though a marked downturn in the Market can somehow be compared to the death of Nature? 

We are so enamored with our vastness and resource that we have forgotten the lark and the sparrow. 

So I say, come armageddon. Come, you horsemen. 

Let us speak these things no more."

 FRI 16JAN26 (Reuters)✈️'FAA issues warnings to airlines on Central, South American flights over potential military actions-๐Ÿช–January 16, 2026 (15:37 GMT-5) "The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday it is issuing a series of warnings to airlines to exercise caution when flying over Central America and parts of South America, citing the risks of potential military activities and GPS interference.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday it is issuing a series of warnings to airlines to exercise caution when flying over Central America and parts of South America, citing the risks of potential military activities and GPS interference.The FAA said it had issued Notices to Airmen covering Mexico and other Central American countries, as well as Ecuador, Colombia and portions of airspace within the eastern Pacific Ocean. The warnings began Friday and will last 60 days, the agency added.

The warnings come amid increased tensions between the United States and regional leaders after the Trump administration mounted a large-scale military buildup in the southern Caribbean, attacked Venezuela and seized the country's president, Nicolas Maduro in a military operation. President Donald Trump has raised the possibility of other military actions in the area, including against Colombia.

Trump said last week that cartels were running Mexico and suggested the U.S. could strike land targets to combat them, in one of a series of threats to deploy U.S. military force against drug cartels.After the attack on Venezuela, the FAA curbed flights throughout the Caribbean, which forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights by major airlines.

FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford told Reuters earlier this week there had been good coordination between the agency and U.S. military before the Venezuela operation.Last month, a JetBlue (JBLU.O) passenger jet bound for New York took evasive action to avoid a mid-air collision with a U.S. Air Force tanker plane near Venezuela.

JetBlue Flight 1112 had departed the Caribbean nation of Curacao and was flying about 40 miles (64 km) off the coast of Venezuela when the Airbus plane (AIR.PA) reported encountering the Air Force jet, which did not have its transponder activated...."
