August 6, 2007 (LPAC)--Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa alerted his fellow citizens two days ago, to be prepared for two "extremely rough" months, as the bankers' political parties do everything they can to overthrow him months before elections for the Constituent Assembly are held on September 30. Correa is immensely popular, because he has adopted a Franklin Delano Roosevelt-like posture of taking on the financier interests, in order to develop the country. As of this time, his supporters are projected to sweep the Constituent Assembly elections.

In his speech to a military graduation ceremony on August 3, and in his weekly radio address the next day, Correa warned that strikes, staged attacks, electricity cut-offs, slanders and false accusations, perhaps even the bankruptcy of a little bank blamed on the government, are being prepared, in the effort to block the "historic change" which can follow the elections if he wins. The banking interests "are very desperate, and are capable of any idiocy," he said. Already, the government knows of attempts to buy a rocket to use against him, and meetings to plot how to move against the President. They are already preparing the terrain so that, if enough money flows, the majority of the Congress might vote to unseat him, Correa said.

Correa noted in his radio address that the bankers know that should his movement win the elections, the government will pass a law prohibiting financiers and bankers from owning any form of mass media, in which they disguise themselves as "journalists." And then there is the matter of the 1999 collapse of the banking system, in which the same bankers who scream that Correa is a "socialist or communist," carried out the biggest robbery in the history of the country, seizing the bank deposits of the entire nation, Correa said. He reported that his government is investigating how that robbery was carried out, and the bankers fear the prosecutions which will follow.
