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...." -

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.

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.
