SHIELD OF THE AMERICAS: Ecuador’s Noboa Says US Troops Are Welcome To Help Fight Drug Cartels (VIDEO)

Ecuador’s president, Daniel Noboa
The Western Hemisphere is getting more secure by the day.
The new anti-Cartel alliance put forward by US President Donald J. Trump is starting to change the landscape in Latin America, once forgotten by feeble Joe Biden, and left to be infiltrated by Russia, China, and Iran.
But now, action against these criminal drug networks is ongoing, stronger than ever.
As a clear example, we have Ecuador’s President Daniel Noboa saying he would welcome US troops to help confront the ‘security crisis’ in his nation.

Bloomberg reported:
“The US has already helped Ecuador target criminal gangs with its advanced tracking and intelligence technology, Noboa said in an interview. He would be in favor of even more involvement from the administration of President Donald Trump, who he said shares his concern with combating drug trafficking.
‘It’s not an invasion, it’s not a — not an intruder coming into our country’, Noboa said Tuesday, speaking at his home overlooking the Guayas River in the gang-ridden port city of Guayaquil. ‘It’s actually international collaboration against crime’.”

Noboa predicted a US troop deployment happening as early as this year.
“With US help, he said that his government had succeeded in slashing the homicide rate in the violent region near the Colombian border. Government data shows a near 35% year-over-year decline in violent crime in those hot spots during the first quarter of this year.”
Ecuador’s President Daniel Noboa said he would welcome US troops to help confront the “security crisis” in his nation, provided they follow the lead of local armed forces.

“Noboa is one of Trump’s closest allies in Latin America, who has deepened security ties with Washington and taken a similarly confrontational approach both to drug cartels and to trade and diplomacy. In March, Ecuador carried out military actions using US intelligence to target groups they labeled terrorist.”

NPR Public Editor Forced to Admit: Important Jewish Voices Were Exluded in Synagogue Attack Coverage


In March, The Gateway Pundit reported that a driver plowed a vehicle into Temple Israel Synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, with more than 100 children in the building, and opened fire.
The synagogue attacker was identified as Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a Lebanese national who first entered the U.S. in 2011 on an IR1 immigrant visa as the spouse of a U.S. citizen.
Ghazali was born in Lebanon in 1985 and entered the US in 2011. He became a naturalized US citizen in February 2016 under the Obama Administration.
Where was National Public Radio (NPR) reporter Hadeel al-Shalchi following the attack? Not at the synagogue.
Instead, two days later, al-Shalchi was 6,000 miles away in the Ghazali family’s hometown of Mashghara, Lebanon, interviewing the terrorist’s relatives for a March 14 segment touting the headline, ‘In a small Lebanese town, grief and fear follow Michigan synagogue attack.’
Journalist Batya Ungar-Sargon noted, “NPR found the real victim of an attack on 140 Jewish American babies—and it’s the Hezbollah-infested town in Lebanon that raised a family of terrorists.”
After reviewing the coverage, public editor Sarah McBride noted that she did not find NPR stories quoting rabbis, congregation members, or families of children who fled the building in the liberal outlet’s coverage.
McBride wrote:
NPR ran multiple stories on the attack.
In all of that coverage, voices from Temple Israel are absent.
I couldn’t find any stories that quote rabbis, congregation members or the families of the children who had to flee the building. This story quoted a rabbi from a nearby congregation. A story on NPR’s website linked to a Facebook post from Temple Israel declaring that all the children and staff were safe. The Detroit News attended Shabbat services the next day, which had to be held in another location.
A story like that would have been the perfect opportunity to examine to community’s response to the terrifying attack. NPR or Michigan Public Radio pulled away from the story at Temple Israel too soon.
When important voices are missing from coverage, it distorts the audience’s perception of everything else.
The biased coverage is a prime example of why President Trump signed a sweeping executive order defunding National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), which continue to be an apparatus of the Democrats’ taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda machines.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the president previously called on Congress to defund the absurdly dishonest “news” organizations following a House Oversight DOGE subcommittee hearing, which exposed the stations’ already well-known bias and radical content.
