South America studies how to curb U.S. 'spying': Ecuador

By Walker Simon

NEW YORK | Wed Sep 25, 2013 9:05pm EDT

(Reuters) - South American nations are jointly exploring the creation of a communications system to curtail U.S. spying in the region, Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino said on Wednesday.
He said the idea was to set up a common platform to "minimize risks of being spied on" and added the project was an outgrowth of the disclosures by former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden on U.S. spying worldwide.
The new project is under consideration by the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), which groups the 12 governments of the continent. UNASUR is based in Quito, Ecuador's capital.

Bounty From The North

One of the most surprising things that has happened to Mary and me since we started posting articles and pictures on this blog has been the number of new people we have met from all over the world.  Many of these new friends have commented and even sent emails and we have become well acquainted with them.  Some have even come to San Clemente on vacation and we have been able to put faces with names.

We love living here in our small fishing village of San Clemente and we have just about everything we need within an easy walk or bike ride from our home.  We are also near enough to Portoviejo, Bahia, and Manta that we can travel to those cities for bigger items that we can not find here or in Charapoto.  But, there are a few items that we crave at times that are difficult to locate or are unavailable even at the bigger stores.....read more: http://johnandmarylivingitupinecuador.wordpress.com/2013/08/23/bounty-from-the-north/comment-page-1/#comment-4515

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/
