[000:00:00;00] the united states, it is a vassal states or the coalition against peace from ukraine to cause that it is defined in ministration. it is against most of the world that historical wind is blowing against the west,

the hello, i'm a no chan. you are tuned into modus operandi. it's the stuff of nightmares. for those of us working in the tv news business, a live broadcast was interrupted by mass government taking the acres and staff hostage on live television. the viewers seeing it unfold in real time. that event and will matic of the spiral of cartel and gang violence. taking over the once peaceful country of ecuador allegations of corruption, tying local authorities and politicians to the crimes freeze, have civilians paralyzed with fear. today will delve into what's going on in ecuador. all right, let's get into the m o the

. it was a happy start to the new here in why a q, when again of mass gunmen, storm the local a base station taking everyone inside hostage, even planting explosives on innocent crew members, all happening live on air. police quickly responded, bringing an end to the situation safely. within 30 minutes. remarkably, nobody died, and all 13 suspects were arrested without further incident. ecuador, as president danielle noble, has since designated some 20 drug cartels. terrorist groups and authorize the country's military to quote, neutralize them. within the parameters of international humanitarian law, the president tacitly acknowledging the country descending into a narco terror state. joining us now for more is esther bond, got heal. he is the head of news for the cradle,

as the one. thank you so much for being with us 1st. let's begin with this big story from ecuador, one of the most powerful gang leaders in the country. adults of my cs. the head of the last jonetta is crime syndicate. apparently, somehow disappeared from prison and why a q this sparked a shockwave of events, including gang members taking over that live news cast prison uprisings. could you give us some details as to why this is happening right now? i'm about to thank you so much for having in. yes, i just said the escape of these. my no. oh no. so feet don't it's he's screaming i'll handle. he disappeared from prison. you know, the present authority a few days before these, uh, these events that involve the duty station they, uh, they announced that uh they gonna say he escaped. they only announced they couldn't find him. you know, we don't know where he's and then uh, well the spiral bottom is that we saw it continued. you know, well that was,

it was in reality what seems to have happened is that fee to escape around christmas. this is what are some insider information that has been going around in that. why did he escape? why did he have such a so, you know, just this up here is because in the seas around 2018. 2019 the presence of be inc. i'm sure all of the prisoners, they are the ones calling the shots. they are the ones that have the keys. if you know you're talking about the, the recent bruce on the right that's present rising the become the norm for the past 3 years. and we have had hundreds and hundreds about almost $500.00 people have died during these masnik areas. every time that with you about i for the or over the past several years. it has to do with some form of present mass like a police in riot or you know, terrors at that. and that is because of this, it all goes back to these that at some point they, for the already in the state decided to have control of the presence over to the prisoners. and they have been and this is why the know met with this part of the

bylaws now the most recent events. and yeah, like the post gaped up on the, you know, there's really not a no the reason why he actually escaped the work and be already is that our president, the wall had announced that as part of the security plan. and he wasn't going to transfer the heads of the big guns to different braces, and i guess get them out of there, you know, their preferred sale or, well, if you can even call that my cell, you know, they, these places were small apologise. and then, you know, describes, this happens and it's, it's like i saw a horse as i saw a horse by the guns. wow. i mean, just hearing that the gangs have taken over of the actual prisons themselves, that's gotta be terrifying to the local residents. but speaking of the, the newly minted president, then you'll know was one of his campaign promises was to crack down on violence, including those gaze through his much touted phoenix plan,

as he called it. however, since he has taken the helm, it seems ecuador has actually seen an escalation of violence, contrary to what he had vowed on the campaign trail. why, why is that? well, you know, to the, to a person looking for the outside. yes, because you know, the, the seems like the balance came up to the what the power, the reality is, the balance has to be that the balance has been there for the past for 3 years. the only difference, really when he comes to that, me and the what was the power around mid december and his predecessor, a bank of the year. my last so for, for was a he didn't finish his period. i mean the is, i mean to impress it and he's telling me, here is the finish the period. maybe the more or less according to finished. so the only difference is that the was actually taken action. that's it. that's it because he gave him a lot. so this nothing i'm not pointed, he tends to do anything. he's just kind of sat on his hands and you know, as solid, a father's research grow and everything else there, your rights, all the while when you, you know,

you explain that i declare 22 and these are gonna be stationed. there is groups that it keeps the military, the authority to comb after then, you know, because another very important thing that all of your viewers need to understand about it. whether it's the police is essentially another car tell, the police does not work to protect the citizenship. you know, at the very least and factions within the police do not like either the police is very corrupted in the there's the several, several a, you know, high ranking members of the not, i q is a very, you know, eh, eh, about things as far as you know, being involved with the car sales of, uh, affecting payments. so it's uh like if you see an action by the police, it's not just because you know, or they don't have the weapons which they don't or they don't have their life. they did a bullet proof vest, which i guess they don't bought is also because it does,

it really, you know, is there are going to start a fighting the agents of the drug cartels industries. they're gonna bump arresting a bunch of their own members. so that's why you have to bring in the military, which also not completely as prestigious as it was, was in the eyes of the people there at least as not as, as brought in as the police. it is. so that's what you're seeing now that you know there's action, there's actual action being taken, the prisons are being put under control. but then the question is, how long is this going? i left because this doesn't mean that the prisoners are no longer in control. it only means that their father in space so they can put on the show, like now you book a computer not showing that somebody. all right, and we should point out if we didn't mention before that you are yourself and ecuadorian national. you go, you're born and raised there, you grew up. so if anybody knows, you know, the climate in the atmosphere of what's happening, it would be, you know, you brought up the more last. so, um, no, daniel noble has declared a 60 day state of emergency similar to what lasso did,

which was really very little success under that previous administration. however, he has ordered $200000000.00 worth of weapons from the united states to implement this new security plan designating, you know, 20 plus groups terrorist and what have you. how much of a role has the u. s. played with this new government, the new regime, if you will. and can we expect the same, or perhaps even more us influence under no more as well as just one thing i wanna highlight. if you have one last sleep limit, it's a 20 to the state of exceptions in our state of emergencies. none of that work. none of them did anything. nobody's office 1st. at the very least, you know, the reasons are being taken uh under control from the riots. so that's, that's a good thing obviously. and there is at rest. that's also a good thing, eh, but as far as the us involvement well in the us involvement has been very,

very profound for the past 5 or so years. and i don't think that's gonna change with, i mean the, what this week uh, the us in the head of the us southern command richardson is expected to get the tool, you know, the debates for this cause, these are these new arms purchases and the other michael piece patrick is taking part on the, on the security meetings, you know, being led by the president. it was all the response to the, to the tune that is played by the white house. and that has been, the reality of the country, sees it turned towards the right away towards the only relation seems that you don't let anybody know. and then the more last so and now the who is not really starting from the 5, you know, the, he's the son of the reach his family. and it was all or if he was born in miami, florida is harbor educated. this is not exactly a mind we, we use, you know, a to and for the needs of the people. the, so mine was family is the highest depth or to the internal revenue service. and now

what is the was planning to finance be the war against the car sales is to increase the the sales tax from 12 percent to 15 percent. while he, you know, with his dollar which is left hand, he writes off, he's finding these best, which uh, you know, goes above a $100000000.00. what a coincidence. it's really sadly the same thing. what a coincidence huh. of, you know, last thing before we, we go to break as the one that you all know of is just 36 years old. he's one of the youngest world leaders to take the stage just a few years older than him in neighboring. oh, so little is not a bouquet. let he's just, he's now just 42 years old. he took drastic measures across this country to crack down on the drug, cartels and slashing, overall crime and homicide across el salvador dramatically. many are saying that no one should copy mckayla is moves. what do you think?

you know that they the strategy that the has applied to us about it has worked to, to increase security for lower the homicide rate. and, but it works for about some of our cars, a much different story than the quite a lot. and a much more do you know, different populations, you cannot just transplant these things, you know, and uh, yeah, the piece is, what of, i mean that was, frankly though, because this is what it's kind of become the talking point. you know, you have probably security the one, but then it also build prisons arrest everyone. you know, no matter if they are actually guilty of something a, you know, and they think people because they have that there was, are there are they have about their, uh, yeah, heavy shape. and this is kind of the approach, right? but then i, i just want to, you know, bring to the opinion on something else. i mean that, uh, while i was talking about all has been uh, icon country in the play by then the balance for, for many, many years. and it was only been the truth for about the past 6 years. and before that we weren't the 2nd safe, has gone through and nothing america. just last year, we close as the most dangerous. but, you know,

the real question needs to be asking these, how do we get to be that safe? and we didn't get to be that saved by applying the policies that by uber bell is doing. we got to be such a safe country by taking away the social base from the drug cartels. you know, by providing younger people, we'd opportunities with access to university to get access to, you know, to, to, out of a break has been disclosed to, to, uh, to 5 manual attrition to, uh, you know, helping people get uh, a property to work right now. if i was one of the highest on the, the rates in the, in the continent and how one of the highest migration in raising the company, i just said i am, if i go in and uh, i was one of those binding. well, i come from one of those families that migrated when we had a crisis at the beginning of the turn of the century. and we came back once we saw that there was a government that was taking care of the people that was providing opportunities. you know, that's, that's what the work, the next level. and i feel like, you know,

the answer is better than the end of our writing, the phase. but suddenly this is and why wasn't meant that and it, by the sponsor, here's your money. it doesn't aligned to the policies that the united states likes to see, which is you know, less spending or whatever's probably more below the pre. so it's more embrace and then people for being poor. and joe's you're not perpetuating the suspected that uh it has to work it where when you go to buy arms, esteban you have to buy arms from the us. that's the only way. all right, don't go anywhere. don't go anywhere. there's a lot more to ask. you all right, coming up next to us sanctions hitting various central and south american states might be playing a role in the escalating violence being seen across latin america. we'll discuss it when we return with esteban, cardio. sit tight. the m o will be right back. the,

[000:00:00;00] the only one main thing is important for gnosticism, internationally speaking, that is, of nations such a allowed to do anything, all the mazda races, and then you have the mind, the nation. so all the slaves, americans, rock, obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves the american it interest if it doesn't, that doesn't exist by turning those russians into this dangerous boy, a man that wants to take over the world. that was a culture of strategy. so the, the new one i exist v i, v, i not fi leashed, it's often zuba and tablet block. nato said it's ours. we move east. the reason

us, hey jim, it is dangerous. is that the, the by the sovereignty of the countries, the exceptionalism that america uses and its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. of nature, what is founded shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large arms companies would lose millions of millions or is business businesses good? and that is the reality of what, what we're facing, which is fashion. the welcome back to the m. o i manila chant as the us southern border remains a hot topic in the 2020 for us presidential elections. little is being discussed about the root cause of this migration. esteban cardio head of news at the

cradle is back. thank you so much for sticking with us as the one. so actually doors homicide rate has skyrocketed. as you mentioned, a little earlier since the coven pandemic in the country reporting an unprecedented over 8000 homicides just last year. and a 288 percent increase in the number of homicides per 100000 people in 2022. what are the reasons for this mass of optic and in this kind of violent crime, especially when i could order was considered what are the safest countries in the world? i mean, as you said, just 710 years ago. exactly. it's like you see, it seems like 6 years ago. well, i thought this point, i guess 7 years ago, and we were, we've had our homicide rate, that only was about a 5 homicides for 100000 inhabitants. last year, the homicide rate, close that $46.00 on the sides where i be $100000.00 inhabitants. you know, if some of the cities make by law where their own countries, they want to be the most violent place on eric are not, you know,

bad places like us, but i look at places like nobody else like that. so why did these happen? well, you know, i thought the bonded i b b i before the break, which is this. they gave up control of the presence of the drug cartels far for uh, you know, further on uh for medical reasons which is, uh, you know, a whole nother uh, kind of warrant. but essentially she is then a while we have seen it over a boston, uh priest, the massacres of which nearly 500 people have died in that file is that all is just like, uh, you know, flooded right into the streets because the police are not in control of the streets and because the government is not, was not interested in taking control of the streets and give him providing people security. so, you know, even if i took up a tow main guns last tornadoes and those locals plus tomatoes are essentially a proxy a or does he not car sale? and those nobles at a proxy for the police, because i cannot assume that these mexican drugs are,

those are incorrectly bile. any credit we brought all, i'm, you know, i'm from, i'm sure your, your viewers are familiar with some other methods. on top of that you have the venue, denmark. yeah. who control the influx of cocaine through europe? yeah. they poured the fonts for in belgium. and you also have been but i'm good that they thought of the box. yeah. so i followed it just completely, completely taken over by this very powerful, very violent, eh, trust, national drop, our sales, the, and the thing is, is the show us the, you know, right now the why you see, they are me, you see the police there are there are arrested people in the streets. they are, you know, like, got everything you want see. but if you are rest 80200000 little good, solid years, if you're raised, you know, dozens of these are leaders that are, you know, like 5th or whoever. that's not really, you know, who's behind on the why we're seeing

a lot because what we're seeing unfolding the lot down to that it was all, oh, i'm sorry to the powerful economic groups because there's not and let's not forget, that'd be yep. and also ended his period early because he was discovered by his brother in law was option in all powerful government positions, cabinet positions eh, with the help of an agent for the mafia. so that's how big it runs, the ra payment by the, in the fact that you're seeing these on the streets. you know, if you see uh this group of, of government and they're uh, you know, the television studio and they take the people hostage and they put the explosives and whatever. and then the police in half an hour they take, i mean, you know, almost with no effort. and they just see the pictures. these are all children. you know, most of them are children. they're already, you know, young teenagers, the other half. they are older that may be 25 years old. the oldest one who have these kids. there are kids that were left behind. their kids were forgotten, who never had a child in life. you know, i'm not apologizing. a, you know,

for creaming dollars or for doing the, you know, or essentially for parent reason, these point where you need to understand what the root cause of the problem is. and that is not being addressed. that is not being has not been authorized by any more than not as not. i mean that dress by yet i'm on outside busing. seems to be going to be addressed by the walkways. don't be here until next. may you know, next month and they've been letter also you shouldn't be using that by the that's, that's how be ended. we are. yeah. and, and to your point, i mean, i'm from los angeles and i grew up there, you know, in the eighty's and ninety's where the gang violets was edits, peak, right, and movies were made about and what have you, and looking back now, there's so much research that has been done, why the kids joined games because a lack of opportunity in the areas that they're from. there's basically nothing else for them to do. no, nowhere else for them to go. so they turn to this life of crime as a means of survival. again, not, not apologizing for them, but there is

a precedent and studies that have proven this out over the past 2530 years now from los angeles. you know that, i mean, this is that is a clickable as well. i would say to echo what on so this and this leads to another imperative question i think on given the political people that we saw in venezuela that was largely brought on, i would say by us lead sanctions there. and of course we had the little um, little bit of time we saw the self declared president, one why know which lead to a wave of virus fleeing to neighboring countries. do you fig. as echo the water further descends into, i guess we can call like a violent period, that many will begin to seek asylum in neighboring nations as well. i mean, are we going to see if a migration exodus out of ecuador and we are already saying that we're ready to be seeing it for the past few years? a i just said uh

a few minutes ago. and this essentially really started on funding during the back and when uh, you know, the businesses were shutting down to the point where i, you know, it's good. and at the same time the government was starting, i was suppose, was heading down to hospitals. so we just saw these massive a lot of my friends, you know, eh, and i feel like uh the quote assigned me right now we can even be compared to venezuela. we must be compared to 80 because of the power elizabeth 80 are much more relevant than that. they can be without any other country in our content that do not a right now in the in jungle. i don't know if you know, maybe you've seen the some of these videos. you see these, these cues here is lives of migrants and a big part of them. they're coming from a lot, i think last year at 300000 and they buy the oreos and they've, they've gone through, you know, at this point we are probably crossing into our media and, or so that how they have left the most of them, of course, that goes to the us because we are in the same content. and then because these guidelines, they also controlled because they are, you know,

they're the human traffic and business. so if you know you have the guy in your town and they come and they blackmail your business and, and you can say to blackmail, so you pick out on, would it be friends or a, you know, member of the guy. so you can pay for your family to watch with you as of any these guys would takes you to the us border and so on. and so far, you know, in new york it may or eric adam. i know he's dealing with a huge problem with the, with the my grants. and i remember an interview from him a few months ago, which he says most of them are venezuela's and then the 2nd one, the 2nd one, a nationale be, is it by the organs. and he can book while, all right, i'm pretty sure he can for brother recently to, to meet with authorities are or something or other. so yeah, like we are again exporting migraines week, which is exactly what it feels like. um, you know, the best they need under these uh, west uh, has your money that we live in to. it seems to be for us, which is,

if you can survive the game and if you can't afford anything and if you can find work, then migrate. it will become just another, you know, and it's the piece stick. maybe you survive that idea and maybe you survive the, everything that comes after that. maybe you, you, you passed a, you know, border security and then you pass. and by funding, you know, like whether or not it is dependent on the remittances of migrants. and it has been before the way we thought of our previous migrant pricing. the price is into your to $1000.00. yeah, so the remittances are a major source of income for many, many migraines from latin american countries. but again, it goes, it goes back to the root, causes a lot of economic strafe for those people and their desperate people don't just make these, these dangerous tracts as you said, unless they are actually desperate. i mean, some people maybe, but generally speaking, no, you don't, you don't risk taking your, your small child, you know, walking thousands of miles to, to risk death if you weren't desperate. so very excellent points. always appreciate

a conversation with you, esteban. thank you so much as the one claudio is a be root based ecuadorian journalist. he's the editor at the cradle. thank you so much for your time and insight. thank you. one in the oh, we've got to be on this. all right, so that is going to do it for this episode of modus operandi the show that takes deep into foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your host manila. chad. thank you so much for tuning it. we'll see you again. next time to figure out the m. o, the, [000:00:00;00] the

of the 1937 militaristic japan started up full scale invasion of china. the invading army was rapidly advancing towards the capital of the republic of china, of the di, this city of nursing, leaving behind the burned down villages and thousands of the dead. on december 13th, the japanese occupied dungy and states though real massacre. for 6 weeks, the invaders exterminated the civilian population. they carried out mass executions, rates, women, and were engaged, been merciless robbery. ruthless confrontation of 2 officers of the imperial army. the my guy and su yoshi no to gain particular notoriety. they competed with each other as to who would be the fastest to kill $100.00 chinese with us. or this

monstrous competition was widely reported in the japanese press. the non being massacre claims the lives of about 300000 people and became one of the largest crimes against humanity in the world history. after world war 2, manufactures advance of the address of the phase trial. however, the commander of the japanese army, in the non seeing operation freeze yasu e to a socket, was able to escape the responsibility due to the interference of the american administration. the yeah, watching is why isn't why in this control if i give both plenty of the store and this, this is chad and i showed order for not imagine just the last name scare me. and

when i am the church as though session on the finest, liam, no, that's just shiny or just it's funny on it. when you sit on the, you know, the, the, the, the russian states never. i've side as i'm one of the most sense community best. most all sense of the speed, the one else holes. question about this, even though we will ben in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on rochester day and split the r t spoke neck. even our video agency,

roughly all the band on youtube, the question, did you see a request to change the the home gary in parliament approve sweden's bed to join the native block. after nearly 2 years of negotiations, a situation law unfolding of the use our comfortable sect to escalate significant fall most throughout europe, la taking to the streets, urging european authorities to address the issue of cheap ukrainians who adopt spot in the region and active duty member of the united states air force
