in the propaganda then, of course, the anesthesia came to the governments unless we were not to your enemies here, you don't have to regulate us. we will work with you because this information is a problem coming from russian, china and the wrong, you know, nowhere else. so the p tends to identify the, the, these key issues misinformation, as link sold it to the other side of the amount of state. so you see corporate interest and the government's beginning to merge more and more. and once you have this, which effectively is by definition of fascist political economy and you have very little power left for the people in this relationship because once it gets corporations and government goes hand in hand, other people have very little to just stand up for. so i would say there's a just a good reason why why people are so called for and it was seemingly that comes their way. professor glen decent. thank you. my pleasure. and that's it

for the show. i'll continue condolences to those surviving the killing in all major back was a new book, the ukraine war and the ration will daughters out now will be back with a brand new episode on south day until then. keep in touch with our social media. if it's not sensitive in your country and as well, i channel going undergoing tv on romo dot com to watch new and old episodes of going underground. since that the, [000:00:00;00]

the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except we're such shorter is that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about our professional intelligence at the point, obviously is to great trust rather than fit the various jobs with artificial intelligence. we have somebody in the team and the robot must protect this phone. existence was on

the hello. i'm a no a 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 master gunman 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 crime sprees 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 gunman, storm the local tv 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 up, 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 as the bunker hill, 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 with my cs, the head of the los 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 me. and yes, i just said the escape of these not, not on us. i don't it's uh, 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 this job search is to, you know, just disappear. it's 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 people have died during these mastic areas every time that we've had about a 5 door over the past several years. it has to do with some form of present mass like a person of variety, you know, terrors at that. and that is because somebody is, it all goes back to these that at some point because already in the state decided to have control of the presence over to the prisoners. and they have been and this

is why the not met with this part of the bylaws now, the most recent events. and yeah, like the best gaped up on the, you know, there's really no, i know the reason why he actually escaped the word can be already is that operated in 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 be seems like the balance came up to the what the power, the reality is the balance has to be there. the balance has been there for the past for 3 years. the only difference, really when he comes to 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 last is, i mean to impress it and he's calling me here is the finish the period that the, the more last so could have finished. so the only difference is that the wife has actually taken action. that's it. that's it because he gave him a lot so the nothing i'm not pointed he intends 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 do you know you explain that i declare 22 and these are gonna be stationed. there is groups that would be 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 part of how the police does not work to protect the citizenship. you know, at the very least and factions within the police, you know, like, of the police is very corrupted in the, there's the several, several a, you know, high ranking members of have been, uh, i q is a very, you know, at a bad thing sir. as opposed to being involved with the car sales of uh, of taking payments. so it's uh, like if you see an action by the police, it's not just because you know, they don't have the weapons which they don't or they don't have the life that bullet proof best, which i guess they don't bought is also because it does

a really you know, is there are going to start a fighting the agents of the drug cartels industries. they're going to end up arresting a bunch of their own members. so that's why you have to bring in the military, which are 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 about, 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 can put on the showing the sub up. all right, and we should point out if we didn't mention before that you are yourself and ecuadorian national. you were 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, you know, then you'll know law has declared

a 60 day state of emergency similar to what last so 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. the sleep limit is the 20 to the state of exceptions in our state. of emergencies, none of that work, none of them did anything. now, why don't these 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 a rest. that's also a good thing a but as far as the u. s. 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 them in the last this week. uh, the us in the head of the us southern command richardson is expected to get the to, you know, debate 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 and towards the only relation seems that you're not letting anybody know. and then you get a more lasso. 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 who 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 sales tax from 12 percent to 15 percent. while he, you know, with his dollar it, with his left hand, he writes off his families that which, uh, you know, goes above a $100000000.00. what a coincidence. its really sadly the same thing. what a coincidence. huh. uh, you know, last night 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. um, just a few years older than him in neighboring. oh, so little is not a bouquet. la, 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 the blog because i thought it was worth to, to increase security for lower the homicide rate and, but it works for us. how about it? some of our cars are 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 fun. you know, you have problems with security, the one who can at all build prisons, arrest everyone, you know, no matter who it is, 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, i called entry in the play by uh them 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. yes,

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 bill 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 that we'd access to university, we'd access to, you know, to, to, out of the break housing disclose to, to, uh, to 5 by latricia to, uh, you know, helping people get uh, a property to work right now. if i was one of the highest on the bug, never rates in the, in the continent and how one of the highest migration of 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 all i writing the phase. but suddenly this is, and why wasn't meant that by the sponsor, here's your money. you both on the line to the policies that the united states likes to see, which is, you know, less spending or whatever. it's probably more be i'll be pretty. so it's more embrace and then people for being poor. and josie are not perpetuating. he sees that and 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, the,

the, [000:00:00;00] the, the welcome back to the m. o i manila chance. 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. as i can see, it seems that was 6 years ago, while 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 the 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 is that. so why did these happen? well, you know, i thought the funded 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, for the wrong uh, for medical reasons which is, uh, you know,

a whole other uh, kind of warrant. but essentially, since then, a while we have seen it over a boston, uh priest of massacres, 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, you can call a tow main guy. let's tornadoes and those locals plus tomatoes are essentially a proxy, a for the see 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 ended radically brutal. i'm fine. you know, i'm from, i'm sure your, your viewers are familiar with some other methods. on top of that, you have the baby. yeah. mark. 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. and the thing is, is the charts the, you know, right now the, you see the army, you see the police there are, there are arrested people in the street. they are, you know, like, got everything you want see. but if you are rest hundreds, $200000.00 little foot soldiers, if you are raised, you know, dozens of these are leaders that uh, are uh, 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, it goes down to the equals, oh, oh, i'm sorry to the powerful economic groups because there's not, and let's not forget that yet more law. so ended his period early because it was discovered by his brother in law was auctioning off. 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, you know, young teenagers, the other half, they are older. that may be 25 years old. the oldest one who have these kids. they are kids that were left behind their kids or forgot that who never had a child in life. you know, i'm not apologizing, you know, for agreement, i was there 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 being addressed by you get them on outside busing. seems to be a going to be addressed by the walkways. don't be here until next. may you know,

next month and they've been extra, i'll see some meetings and 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 that 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 did kids join gangs 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, 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 upheaval 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 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 exit is out of ecuador, and we are already saying that we were ready be seeing it for the past few years. a i just said uh, a few minutes ago. and he's essentially really started on all the and during the back and when uh, you know, the businesses were shutting down to people where i can always go in, at the same time the government was starting that was supposed was hurting down the hospitals. so we just saw these uh, massive uh, lots of, of my friends, you know, eh, and i feel like, uh,

it quite low. sadly. right now we can even be compared to venezuela. we must be compared to pay because of the power. elizabeth haiti are much more relevant than that. they can be without any other country in our content that do not a right now in the body 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 our so that how they have left the most of them, of course, they goes to the us because we are in the same content and then because these guidelines, they also controls 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've got paid to blackmail. so you pick out how long would it be for an or a, you know, member of the guy. so you can pay for your family to work with you as a video. these guys would take you to the us border and so on. and so far, do you know in new york it may or eric adam. i know he's dealing with

a huge problem with the, with the migraines, and i remember an interview from him a few months ago, which he said that most of them are venezuela's. and then the 2nd or the 2nd one, a nationality is that by the ariens, and he can book while, all right, i'm pretty sure he can for brother recently to, to meet with already. these are our 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 me under these uh, west uh has yeah. money that we live in to is 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. and i will become just another, you know, and it's the piece take, maybe just arrived at the 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 on by funding, you know,

like whether or not it is dependent on the remittance is of migrants and it has been before the way we thought of our previous migrant pricing. the price is into your house. yeah, so the remittance has are a major source of income for many, many migrants from latin american countries. but again, it goes, it goes back to the root, causes a lot of economic strafe for those people and they're 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 as to bon, i thank you so much as the one codio is a be root based ecuadorian journalist. he's the editor at the cradle. thank you so much for your time and insight. you went into what we've got to be able to show. all right, so that is going to do it for this episode of modus operandi the show that digs

deep into foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your host manila chance. thank you so much for doing it. we'll see you again next time to figure out the m. o. the scott bennett. i'm former united states army psychological warfare officers served in the state department counterterrorism office center, and that's where they'll daily the
