0:00:00.061,0:00:03.952
...who writes in the Expreso and thinks he[br]knows about economics. And he knows some,

0:00:03.952,0:00:09.532
he's somewhat informed, but he's a Libertarian,[br]so his ideology clouds him, makes him lose

0:00:09.532,0:00:16.701
objectivity. Ok. Let's see how the attacks[br]of the international press continue against

0:00:16.701,0:00:21.390
the Citizen's Revolution. This is the "free[br]press" of Capitalism. They have their media

0:00:21.390,0:00:25.922
outlets, and yes, if there's a traffic accident,[br]in the end, maybe they can inform you objectively,

0:00:25.922,0:00:34.492
if a train derails, or a hurricane. [br]But when it comes to political or social economy, or

0:00:34.492,0:00:39.922
challenges to the System, they are never going[br]to inform you objectively, they are propaganda

0:00:39.922,0:00:48.266
machines that try to annihilate anyone who[br]dares to defy the System. Let's look at the

0:00:48.266,0:00:53.736
"report", between quotation marks, because[br]it's a bunch of lies, from the extreme right

0:00:53.736,0:00:59.229
wing magazine Newsweek, about Ecuador and[br]basically about the massacre of our Taromenane

0:00:59.229,0:01:10.005
brothers. Do we have this one on video? Ok,[br]let's roll the clip. The north American right

0:01:10.005,0:01:15.651
wing magazine Newsweek, with a total lack[br]of profesisonal ethics, open to lies and attacking

0:01:15.651,0:01:21.320
the government for being left wing, publishes[br]on its pages a completely wrong news story

0:01:21.320,0:01:26.820
about the conflict between people of the Taromenane[br]and the Huaorani tribes, and the supposed

0:01:26.820,0:01:31.970
kidnapping of two girls. The magazine, with[br]malice, wants there to be talk of a "massacre,"

0:01:31.970,0:01:36.983
when no dead bodies are yet to be found. Despite[br]this, the magazine titles the article "After

0:01:36.983,0:01:45.190
All the People We Killed, We Felt Dizzy."[br]Yellow journalism, in its maximum expression!

0:01:45.190,0:01:52.859
This is the freedom of expression of Capital.[br]Within the article, the magazine writes: The

0:01:52.859,0:01:58.585
facts regarding this horrific incident were[br]widely known across Ecuador by early April,

0:01:58.585,0:02:07.719
but eight months went by before the government[br]even acknowledged them." Lies! The government

0:02:07.719,0:02:13.845
never hid the facts. It lent its complete[br]support to the investigation that was carried

0:02:13.845,0:02:20.547
out by the Attorney General. The government[br]even formed a top-notch commission to clarify

0:02:20.547,0:02:27.911
the events that occurred. It is then written:[br]"President Rafael Correa downplayed whatever

0:02:27.911,0:02:34.344
happened that bloody day in March as just[br]one of many conflicts between the tribes."

0:02:34.344,0:02:42.513
Lies! The President of Ecuador Never said[br]such things. What is written in this right

0:02:42.513,0:02:49.308
wing publication Newsweek is a complete calumny.[br]A collection of imprecisions that completely

0:02:49.308,0:02:56.522
miss the truth. The magazine continues to[br]add to the lies: "Correa ordered the arrest

0:02:56.522,0:03:02.275
of six Huaorani were arrested, and now face[br]charges of genocide ... Without warning, the

0:03:02.275,0:03:10.297
Ecuadorean government snatched the girls back."[br]Lies! The Attorney General is who solicits

0:03:10.297,0:03:15.756
judicial orders from a judge, who is then[br]in charge of issuing it or not, the order

0:03:15.756,0:03:23.480
to detain a person. The President Rafael Correa[br]cannot order the arrest of any citizen. Also,

0:03:23.480,0:03:30.932
the government did not kidnap the girls, as[br]the article writes with bad intentions. It

0:03:30.932,0:03:38.611
was the Attorney General who Rescued one Taromenane[br]girl from the hands of her kidnappers. Let

0:03:38.611,0:03:43.316
it be said, by the way, that those kidnappers[br]were the ones who had murdered her parents.

0:03:43.316,0:03:50.150
The article adds: "when Cabodevilla was ready[br]to publish his book about the massacre, someone

0:03:50.150,0:03:55.008
from the attorney general's office sought[br]an injunction to forbid its publication ... the

0:03:55.008,0:04:01.511
short-lived ban confirmed what many suspected:[br]the government was ashamed of the massacre."

0:04:01.511,0:04:09.795
Lies! It was the People's Ombudsman's Office[br]who solicited measures from a judge to prohibit

0:04:09.795,0:04:17.430
the circulation of the book A Hidden Tragedy.[br]It was the Ombudsman's Office. The government

0:04:17.430,0:04:23.918
never forbade the circulation of the book.[br]The North American right wing magazine Newsweek,

0:04:23.918,0:04:30.678
with a total lack of professional ethics,[br]deceives and lies bald-facedly, to try to

0:04:30.678,0:04:38.525
hurt a worthy and sovereign government. The[br]free expression of Capital. Cynicism and lies,

0:04:38.525,0:04:48.582
verified. That's the Anglo Saxon free expression[br]that they want to impose on us. They're their

0:04:48.582,0:04:53.582
vaues that they want to impose them universally[br]on us. The freedom of Capital to do what it

0:04:53.582,0:05:00.253
wishes, to lie, to attack, because we are[br]left wing. Newsweek does a report that it

0:05:00.253,0:05:05.489
totally wrong. I do believe that there was[br]a massacre, by the way, even though no bodies

0:05:05.489,0:05:10.518
have been found. But that we tried to hide[br]it, why? Yes, the title of the book by Miguel

0:05:10.518,0:05:15.556
Angel Cabodevilla. I read that book. It was[br]of a very low quality, honestly. To begin

0:05:15.556,0:05:19.057
with, there was a large quantity of footnotes,[br]which is always a disrespect to the author,

0:05:19.057,0:05:22.989
I mean disrespect to the reader. Laziness[br]of the author who instead of incorporating

0:05:22.989,0:05:27.698
the information in the text so that it flows,[br]no, he makes the reader do the work every

0:05:27.698,0:05:32.019
so often to interrupt their reading and go[br]look at the footnotes. Contradictions, unfounded

0:05:32.019,0:05:37.869
speculation: that if they had done this, then[br]there wouldn't have been this ... Come on,

0:05:37.869,0:05:41.249
we did what was possible, maybe we should[br]have done more, we are investigating. But

0:05:41.249,0:05:48.110
can they guarantee that one could have avoided[br]the vengeance of the Huaorani? These are extremely

0:05:48.110,0:05:53.138
difficult things, that it's not that they're[br]been treated, they've been mistreated. These

0:05:53.138,0:05:59.430
Srs. from Newsweek say I've tried to hide[br]the massacre, that even though I've named

0:05:59.430,0:06:04.984
a commission to investigate all this. The[br]main error, that Correa took eight months

0:06:04.984,0:06:10.698
to investigate, these people should find out[br]that within the structure of Ecuadorian State,

0:06:10.698,0:06:14.648
the investigating entity is the Attorney General.[br]I was actually upset with how long it took

0:06:14.648,0:06:19.734
them, the AG, to investigate. That "Correa[br]ordered the arrest of six Huaorani" - That

0:06:19.734,0:06:23.127
these people should find out that I can't[br]order the arrest of anybody. Maybe if there's

0:06:23.127,0:06:28.194
a contravention, yes, but for the investigation[br]of a crime, no. That's something the Attorney

0:06:28.194,0:06:32.653
General asks for and the judge orders it.[br]That "Correa kidnapped two girls," or "the

0:06:32.653,0:06:36.206
government kidnapped two girls" ... can you[br]see the bad faith there? That's something

0:06:36.206,0:06:42.596
the Attorney General did. And they RESCUED[br]one girl, who was in the hands of the people

0:06:42.596,0:06:48.593
who had kidnapped her and killed her family.[br]That girl is not in a different Huaorani community,

0:06:48.593,0:06:55.072
safe, protected by the Ecuadorian state. That[br]the government stopped, due to its embarrassment

0:06:55.072,0:07:04.257
about the massacre, that the Hidden Tragedy[br]book circulate. That was the Ombudsman office,

0:07:04.257,0:07:08.890
when the ombudsperson wasn't even in the country,[br]it was a decision of the second in command.

0:07:08.890,0:07:14.651
I found out because the President of the National[br]Assembly calls me. But do you realize? Probably,

0:07:14.651,0:07:20.099
Newsweek got this information from some hater[br]of the government. But it's Newsweek fault.

0:07:20.099,0:07:26.860
Because they have to contrast the information.[br]Newsweek is lying. So, Ecuadorians, the only

0:07:26.860,0:07:33.209
way to in some way mitigate this false freedom[br]of expression that isn't anything but the

0:07:33.209,0:07:39.192
freedom of Capital to do whatever it wants[br]to, is with a citizen reaction. So. We are

0:07:39.192,0:07:43.895
going to send the following Twitter to Newsweek[br]with a link so that they find out the truth

0:07:43.895,0:07:47.494
, so that they don't do yellow journalism.[br]Because even the photo is scandalous, right,

0:07:47.494,0:07:51.897
and what does the photo have to do with the[br]Taromenane? But that's the level of this magazine.

0:07:51.897,0:07:55.824
So that they come to Ecuador, find out about[br]the institutions in the country, find out

0:07:55.824,0:08:01.603
everything that we are doing, and don't speak[br]so much nonsense and open lies, mistakes,

0:08:01.603,0:08:07.051
montruous imprecisions, such as attributing[br]the investigation t the government, when who

0:08:07.051,0:08:15.606
investigates the crimes, in the judicial organization[br]of Ecuador, is the Attorney General. Even

0:08:15.606,0:08:22.337
those such elementary mistakes this magazine[br]has, probably a product that some bad faith

0:08:22.337,0:08:25.906
person send them the information, one of the[br]contrarians that are in Ecuador. But it's

0:08:25.906,0:08:30.224
the magazine's fault. They should contrast[br]the information, ask for the other version,

0:08:30.224,0:08:36.935
but this is the freedom of expression of Capital.[br]Freedom, with their money, to try to sink

0:08:36.935,0:08:43.905
anyone who opposes their vision and their[br]interests. And with their media power, try

0:08:43.905,0:08:49.831
to discredit a president just because I don't[br]submit to the same as ever. They're not going

0:08:49.831,0:08:54.834
to accomplish it. But so that they're a little[br]more decent, and professional quality, we're

0:08:54.834,0:09:00.343
going to send them the following Twitter,[br]with a link so that they find out about the

0:09:00.343,0:09:07.994
truth, and are a little more ethical and professional.[br]Here we are, sending it to @Newsweek. And

0:09:07.994,0:09:12.636
I hope that thousands, tens of thousands of[br]citizens can replicate this Twitter, to that

0:09:12.636,0:09:17.797
these people know that despite their millions,[br]despite their power, they are being watched

0:09:17.797,0:09:23.369
by the human beings, by the citizens, and[br]we will not permit their lies remain in impunity.

0:09:23.369,0:09:28.607
Here goes the Twitter. And that takes us to[br]a link, show the previous slide, where it

0:09:28.607,0:09:34.449
says, for example: why don't you come to Ecuador?[br]Also evidence of their double moral, right?

0:09:34.449,0:09:38.505
Because they talk about Yasuni, and the Taromenane,[br]saying I have the whole country against me,

0:09:38.505,0:09:43.561
because nobody is in favour of drilling responsibly[br]in the Yasuni. Let them come and find out

0:09:43.561,0:09:48.136
the truth. Let them find out the results of[br]the next elections on February 23. The biggest

0:09:48.136,0:09:53.706
truth that can exist. And the great question:[br]how much virgin rainforest exists in United

0:09:53.706,0:10:01.091
States? How many uncontacted groups exist[br]in United States? Don't be audacious. Don't

0:10:01.091,0:10:05.764
expect from others what you never expected[br]from yourselves. Let's continue. (musical

0:10:05.764,0:10:14.125
interlude) We also say to this corrupt press,[br]where freedom of expression isn't for human

0:10:14.125,0:10:20.862
but for capital, for money, that's the freedom[br]of expression they defend: your article is

0:10:20.862,0:10:27.550
imprecise and it deceives. Come to Ecuador,[br]and do some investigation because you publish

0:10:27.550,0:10:32.736
so much nonsense. It says there: those in[br]charge of the investigation aren´t the government,

0:10:32.736,0:10:37.400
rather the Attorney General. That it's the[br]Attorney General who orders the rescue of

0:10:37.400,0:10:42.550
the Taromenane girl, not both girls, one girl.[br]That the government never denied the conflict,

0:10:42.550,0:10:51.746
that's a lie. Let's continue. Stop your hypocrisy.[br]Next, please. There's no more, just that?

0:10:51.746,0:10:58.416
Ok. It won't be left in impunity this corrupt[br]press, national or international, and how?

0:10:58.416,0:11:05.840
With the reaction of citizens. All of us:[br]to reproduce the Twitter. The Newsweek article

0:11:05.840,0:11:11.286
is a calumny, entirely. Probably, insist,[br]one of the same embittered contrarians of

0:11:11.286,0:11:17.555
always, a permanent hater, from Ecuador sent[br]the article, so it's not an investigative

0:11:17.555,0:11:22.340
article but an opposition article, but it's[br]the magazine's fault. It has to contrast the

0:11:22.340,0:11:27.679
information, like any journalism ethics would[br]demand. They present any foolishness, and

0:11:27.679,0:11:34.748
make it say senseless things, things totally[br]wrong and far from the truth. And who are

0:11:34.748,0:11:42.124
these people? Well, let's see another example[br]of the powers we have to go against. And the

0:11:42.124,0:11:48.266
funniest thing, they say nothing is happening.[br]Thanks to a wonderful investigation by the

0:11:48.266,0:11:53.674
Telegrafo newspaper... (goes on to next story)
