I had two calls yesterday about Ecuador. One was with a long-time friend and local investigative journalist. The other was with Bloomberg. I learned that the FBI was in Quito with the Attorney General's office (likely several folks from the office) yesterday. The FBI's role is strictly advisory, which pans out with how I've seen U.S. federal law enforcement engage with their Southern counterparts. Yesterday's meeting lasted for several hours, I'm told. To be a fly on that wall... Bloomberg asked me a question I was not prepared to answer -- I stumbled through it, but after some thought, I want to share a sharper picture below. The question pointed to the future, and what Ecuador needs to do to remedy the current situation. Here are three scenarios: 1) Acquiesce. Days before Colombian president Gustvao Petro was elected, I was on a call with a lawyer in Colombia who was interested in negotiating the extradition for one of his clients -- a Colombian bad boy who had found himself on the wrong side of a long list of death threats. The lawyer was very clear, and I quote: "you will not hear from me again if Petro wins." Everything has been arranged. In Mexico, they call that a "trato" -- a deal. A long-line of presidents across the entire Western Hemisphere have cut deals with bad actors. Ecuador's next president would not be the first. I see a path for Ecuadorian candidate Luisa Gonzalez to cut a deal. 2) Fight back. We saw what fighting back, tooth and nail, looks like in the early 2000s when the US State Department funded "Plan Colombia", and everyone and their cousin hunted Pablo Escobar. Violence spiked and practitioners learned what "atomization" meant. The same happened again in Mexico when Felipe Calderon entered office in 2006. Things got really bad over the summer of 2005, but that was an El Chapo thing. Calderon just poured fuel on the fire. Again, atomization. I see a path for Ecuadorian candidate Otto Sonnenholzner to take this approach, though less aggressive. 3) Build and execute a wholistic public security strategy. This is obviously the hardest option, but it is one we have seen in fits and spurts with success in the region over the years, though less often at the national level -- more often at the city and/or provincial level. Any future president could take this path, but there are few models to follow. There is not a lot of funding, yet. But there will be a mandate. This third option, today, is the least likely, but I expect it to take on more significance once the new president is seated, knows the score (ie how much money is left in the coffers), and picks up the phone. I hope one of the US federal law enforcement professionals who was in the room yesterday is an advisory part of that effort tomorrow.

Investigative journalists make up an important piece of the OSINT puzzle. Not only do they use OSINT as a part of their investigations to corroborate information from other sources, but they also make significant contributions to the information available to OSINT practitioners. It's fascinating to read about the impact ICIJ have had over the last year, and it’s a great way to stay up to date with what’s going on in the wider OSINT world too. Their 2023 recap is well worth a read! https://hubs.li/Q02h2RVp0 #OSINT #InvestigativeJournalism #OSINTForGood

HOW Do We The People Heal ❤️🩹 As A Nation? The Real Story of January 6 Part 2: The Long Road Home | NEW Documentary Jan-06-2024 With the FBI calling its J6 investigations “bigger than 9/11,” Jan. 6, 2021 has marked a turning point in American history. In the three years since Jan 6, a historic criminal investigation into the incident has played out in a dramatic fashion across the country. As of now, J6 prosecutions have reached beyond the 1,000-case milestone, while the DOJ warned of more to come. In “The Real Story of Jan. 6 Part 2: The Long Road Home,” Epoch Times journalist Joseph Hanneman reveals shocking evidence of how the wide-ranging prosecutions of Jan. 6 defendants have been handled with injustice. While “The Real Story of Jan. 6 Part 1” tells the real story of what happened that day, Part 2 will take an objective look at what has happened ever since—and the fine line between justice and political vengeance. With legal expertise, personal stories of J6 defendants, Capitol security footage, and first-hand testimonies of FBI whistleblowers, this documentary delves into the truth of J6 criminal investigations, and how they have changed American life. The skepticism of opaque government processes has never been more intense than it is now regarding Jan 6 defendants, whose lives have never been the same. How are they being treated in court, in jail, and in the public eye? Are the sweeping prosecutions a justified cause? What does it mean to our constitutional rights and the future of this country? What do the exclusive Capitol security tapes reveal about the full picture of January 6? After three years of investigation by The Epoch Times, we’ve peeled back the countless layers of Jan. 6 to expose injustices and champion stories. We take a closer look at some of the injustices done in the prosecution process, including depriving defendants of fair due process, long-term pretrial detention, the abuse of SWAT raids, advancing felony charges without substantial criminal evidence, mistreatment in jail, and more. All of the above marks a turning point in our justice system. What does America look like in the post-Jan 6 era? How is the government using J6 as a springboard to inflate its “domestic terrorism” probe—and why? And more importantly, how do we heal as a nation? Official website: Jan6RealStory.com

The State Capture saga is far from over. But South Africans must accept that commissions of inquiry, like the Zondo Commission, are only the precursor to accountability, a process that is likely to occupy successive future administrations.
