Scopolamine and Burundanga become weapons of crime in Ecuador BY: SAMUEL LAY

Scopolamine and Burundanga become weapons of crime in Ecuador

BY: SAMUEL LAY

On a regular day thousands of people go walking in the streets and receive fliers from people advertising their products. Others go to department stores and try on new perfumes and others help tourists in the street finding the addresses they are looking for. Now, would you ever consider all these actions as life risking things? As a matter of fact, they are. This is thanks to two drugs that are becoming famous in the robbery world, Scopolamine and Burundanga.
Scopolamine and Burundanga are tropane alkaloid drugs. They are extracted from plants such as Henbane and Jimson Weed and other plants that are event to be found in backyards of houses. Producing these drugs is fast and its access is easy. Perhaps this is the reason why, according to a local newspaper, the use of Scopolamine for committing crimes in Ecuador increased by a 45 percent in 2011.
Crimes involving the drugs include robbery, rape and kidnapping. You don’t necessarily have to inject the drug into your system. Just by simply touching it, spraying a certain amount on your skin or breathing it you may be exposed to delirium such as disorientation, loss of memory, hallucinations, and stupor....read more: http://thespartanonline.wordpress.com/2012/03/10/drug-becomes-the-weapon-of-crime-in-ecuador/

Giant Skeleton found in Loja in Ecuador 19 October 2012

Reconstruction the Giant Skeleton found in Loja in Ecuador on 19 October 2012. In the province of Loja, in the South of the Ecuador and the Peru border, residents remember hearing long ago in the beautiful valleys in this province were reportedly discovered skeletons very similar to those of humans, 



but of an incredible size giant-bones By far the most famous of these discoverers was the father Carlos Miguel Vaca (*Refer to Father Crespi in album as well) who was kept until his death in 1999, several bones and fragments found on a site named “Changaiminas” which translated into Spanish means “cemetery of the gods.

Thankfully, there are other countries around the globe that aren’t worried about hiding our ancient past history any longer. In the US and Europe, most evidence quietly disappeared from nearly every museum from the 1900′s until today. Most of the discoveries paid for and removed by the Smithsonian....http://alabamatruth.com/nephilim-proof-giant-skeleton-found-in-loja-in-ecuador-19-october-2012/

Capt'n Crunch Has Landed

August 31, 3013

A couple of days ago, I took a serene hike up a nearby dirt road on the east side of the Ruta del Sol (Spondylus). *
There are a number of these roads that lead back into the jungle, and one does not need to go very far to get into a more “jungly” environment (less than a quarter mile, becoming more dense and isolated further down the roads).

The change in vegetation and birdlife is vivid in such a short distance between the beach side and hill side of the Ruta del Sol. Of course, the plants are more lush and the birds more colorful and diverse on the hill side...

Constitutional Rights of Americans on the No-Fly List

Victory! Federal Court Recognizes Constitutional Rights of Americans on the No-Fly List

A federal court took a critically important step late yesterday towards placing a check on the government's secretive No-Fly List. In a 38-page ruling in Latif v. Holder, the ACLU's challenge to the No-Fly List, U.S. District Court Judge Anna Brown recognized that the Constitution applies when the government bans Americans from the skies. She also asked for more information about the current process for getting off the list, to inform her decision on whether that procedure violates the Fifth Amendment guarantee of due process.
We represent 13 Americans, including four military veterans, who are blacklisted from flying. At oral argument in June on motions for partial summary judgment, we asked the court to find that the government violated our clients' Fifth Amendment right to due process by barring them from flying over U.S. airspace – and smearing them as suspected terrorists – without giving them any after-the-fact explanation or a hearing at which to clear their names.
The court's opinion recognizes – for the first time – that inclusion on the No-Fly List is a draconian sanction that severely impacts peoples' constitutionally-protected liberties. It rejected the government's argument that No-Fly list placement was merely a restriction on the most "convenient" means of international travel.

"Such an argument ignores the numerous reasons an individual may have for wanting or needing to travel overseas quickly such as for the birth of a child, the death of a loved one, a business opportunity, or a religious obligation." ....read more: https://www.aclu.org/blog/national-security-technology-and-liberty-racial-justice/victory-federal-court-recognizes

 

How's noise concerns from barking dogs /etc. in Ecuador?

How's noise concerns from barking dogs /etc. in Ecuador?

This question was asked today on one of the many EC forums & groups, and I got carried away with a reply.

And it dawned on me, as long as I did'nt use the posters name that asked the question, maybe I could copy & paste my own content and share it here on my blog, so here goes:

Jour-Ja: I was Quito, in the La Mariscal - GringoLandia district for 6 months, rather loud WED thru SAT, they try to close the clubs at 2am FRI & SAT but it takes an hr or 2 to disband the partyers.

I was 2 yrs at AV America & Moñasca near Cinemark Mall in an average EC working mans neighborhood on a dead end street, was'nt that bad on noise.

..and for the last 2.5 yrs in Northern Suburbs between Pomasqui & San Antonio - Middle of the World w/ intermittent dogs barking - roosters crowing -

- my gas trucks on this route run mid day M-F but I got one wild card that likes to sneak in at about 7am on SAT's sometimes, and the junk man - metal recycling guy w/ mega PA system: "compre metales"!!! None of that really bothers me much now after 5yrs of acclimation / adjustment - 17 SEP 2008 (pic below of little girl & her Mom on top of the scrap truck)

(It never bothered me much anyways, it's just the way it is, for now, if you get out and rip n roar good during the day, you will sleep at night, but change is coming on the horizon, lil by lil)

..but, we all in EC may very well miss the truck honking of a $2.75 per 32.84 Lbs = 14.9 kgs, if the EC Govt. indeed mandates total electric after the 8 or so power dams come online 2015 -16?

I will tell yah one fellar that don't hear nothing at night - thats the gas man, can you imagine the stress of driving around any town in EC in traffic & Ecua driving habits w/ enough explosives to level a city block, and lugging them tanks around from sun up to sun down, thats one wore out dude - sawing logs blissfully at Knight!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I do a lot of reblogging that is sometimes missed or not thought well of on a lot of the various EC forums & blogs and repost it here. But will make a conscious effort to try to do more of my own original content. 

Thanks for dropping by for a visit,

Nearly 20 % Of Scientists Contemplate Moving Overseas Due In Part To Sequestration

Nearly 20 Percent Of Scientists Contemplate Moving Overseas Due In Part To Sequestration

HuffPolitics Blog - Posted: 08/29/2013 7:30 am EDT  |  Updated: 08/29/2013 2:52 pm EDT

WASHINGTON -- New data compiled by a coalition of top scientific and medical research groups show that a large majority of scientists are receiving less federal help than they were three years ago, despite spending far more time writing grants in search of it. Nearly one-fifth of scientists are considering going overseas to continue their research because of the poor funding climate in America.
The study, which was spearheaded by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) and will be formally released next week, is the latest to highlight the extent to which years of stagnant or declining budgets, made worse by sequestration, have damaged the world of science.
More than 3,700 scientists from all 50 states participated in the study, offering online responses in June and July 2013. They offered sobering assessments of the state of their profession. Eighty percent said they were spending more of their time writing grants now than in 2010, while 67 percent said they were receiving less grant money now than they were back then. Only two percent of respondents said they had received money from their employers -- predominantly academic institutions -- to make up for the loss of federal funds.
The drying up of resources has had a damaging effect on the research being conducted, forcing scientists to curtail their projects or trim their staffs.
According to the survey, 68 percent of respondents said they do not have the funds to expand their research operations; 55 percent said they have a colleague who has lost a job or expects to soon; and 18 percent of respondents said they were considering continuing their careers in another country....read more: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/29/sequestration-scientists_n_3825128.html
