The New World that comprised the lands on the other side of the Atlantic such as America and in the enormous Pacific such as Australia, to the Philippines, were placed on the planet where violence and plagues destroyed millions of human beings, to the glory of the God of the Christians. But while the territories of Spain and ¨Portugal, the indigenous people could continue living in their original territories in exchange for ethnic cleansing, turned into miscegenation, the adoption of the Catholic Church, submission to the Kings of the Iberian Peninsula, their army and Viceroys, in the Anglo-Saxon territories, they opted for racial extermination and then for the expulsion of the indigenous people to reservations, which were concentration camps.
The Spanish and Portuguese rulers, as well as the English, were expelled from America in the 19th century, from Africa and Asia after the Second World War. But the exit from what is now the United States and Canada also meant freeing themselves from the Anglican Church and many Christian religions were adopted among them, the Lutherans or Protestants that expanded rapidly and did not continue to plunder wealth like the Catholics who through religious congregations. They continued to rule the Latin American countries and exploit them through the Creoles, who were the children of Spaniards born in America, who turned their estates into personal paradises, which were at the same time hell for those who did not have a surname, and were called peonies, mitayos if they worked in the mines, huasicamas if they worked in domestic service.
The English financed the wars of independence against Spain and even put soldiers, but they collected the debt for independence for 150 years and in critical periods they appropriated the ports, created exploiters born in our countries, who became exporters and bankers, black dealers, who were the main business of the English crown until 1850, merchants of English clothing, opium, rubber, salt, clothing, quinine, oil and in train users, in their domains until World War II. At that time Latin America was the paradise of its merchants and the hell of the workers of its plantations.
Since the 19th century, Latin America was the war booty of the US War against Mexico and Spain, then we became the paradise of the owners of transnational companies such as United Fruit, or Texaco, but in the hell of their plantations that ended massacred in El Urabá in Colombia, or in Costa Rica, where the army of that country waged a war against its own people, so now it no longer exists.
Since then, the rulers of our countries are people trained or related to the United States and supported by the embassy of that country such as Guiaidó or Añez, who nominated themselves as presidents and Trump immediately recognized them, just because they were opposed to Maduro and Evo Morales. , or supported Moreno, only because he betrayed Correa and gave him 2 military bases and control of the Armed Forces.
The United States has backed cruel dictators such as Batista in Cuba, Somoza in Nicaragua, Pinochet in Chile, Vileda in Argentina, Rios Mont in Guatemala, Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, and numerous evil presidents, with León Febres Cordero in Ecuador.
All these bad governments and the elites, both military and civil, have exploited the natural resources and the inhabitants of their countries, with bad salaries, lack of health, education, justice, dignity. Foreign companies are allowed to exploit natural resources, and the inhabitants, and are not taxed or forgiven, because they supposedly create jobs and jobs.
When some countries oppose this exploitation. now with new machines or overexploitation, which is devastating Latin America, and translates into the disappearance of forests, species, climate change, the disappearance of native languages and cultures in the new continents.
The horrible impoverishment of Latin America, now multiplied by the pandemic, has become an economic disaster, due to the increase in poverty, society, due to the increase in violence, discrimination, insecurity, health, due to the increase in deaths, sickness, and diseases, environmental, due to the greater susceptibility of huge urban, crop and natural areas to earthquakes, droughts, floods, fires, the disappearance of species, and in humanitarian crisis, visible in protests, wars of all kinds, from the war to drug trafficking, until the war to the migratory waves, and in migratory waves, which are a mass of desperate people.
In the debate of the candidates for the presidency of Ecuador 2021, no candidate dared to propose a new policy against overexploitation, nor our situation in the backyard of the USA, keys to understanding why this pandemic, this crisis has hit us so much and save us.
