The stuff about him being followed about by Russian Intelligence as being proof of the poisoning is mystifying. Of course they follow him about he's a CIA asset and when America got control of the Russian government for a few years in the 90s between 5m-7m Russians died because of economic shock therapy. They probably don't want that happening again.

There's something very weird about this Navalny saga, allowed to broadcast a video from his cell today. Started off as a right wing Russian ethnic nationalist, now claiming to support BLM but maybe only in America. Wouldn't be surprised if he's got some elaborate scheme going with Putin for the succession.

Interesting one here that looks like a classic piece of propaganda.

Iran arrests the boy for cooperating with a hostile state power. He is found guilty. Then stages an apparently remarkable escape from Iran by walking over some mountains in the snow completely by himself (and definitely unaided by any agents of a foreign power). He then turns up living safely in the capital city of a foreign power where the local media put out the story of his heroic and unlikely escape.

Maybe I'm a bit too much of a cynic, but this boy's a nailed on spy for me.

The Biden regime doing a Trump but in Ecuador rather than Georgia, USA.

They also have the comically corrupt Colombian government inventing criminal activity by the leftist candidate. I knew something was being cooked up when the corporate media were very quiet about the first round of voting.

Bolivia telling the IMF to f**k off. This is why they are trying so hard to fix the Ecuadorean election. 

Good on Bolivia.

Your sources hardly seem the most balanced. That IMF proposal goes back a lot further than the elections, no?

Here's a fairly balanced paper about it.

This suggests that the rationale for the funding and its conditions is incoherent at best.

You could infer from that that other factors have been taken into account, such as the US antipathy towards correa and his program and consequent support for Moreno.
