Trickle-down tyranny – why ordinary people in positions of local power are adopting tactics of tyrants

(NaturalNews) When I read a story yesterday about an 89-year-old woman being water-boarded by nursing home staff over an argument about ice cream, I knew something terrible was amiss across the American landscape. Spontaneous acts of tyranny have been cropping up lately like cancer tumors: a food tyrant in Nevada raids a farm picnic and orders everyone to destroy their food (http://www.naturalnews.com/034125_food_freedom_picnic.html); student protesters in California get pepper-sprayed by thuggish cops who clearly enjoy causing pain and suffering (http://fieldnotes.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/11/21/8927548-college-president-vows-pepper-spraying-probe); and now nursing home staffers torture their own resident using techniques borrowed from Guantanamo Bay (http://atlanta.cbslocal.com/2011/11/18/police-2-georgia-caregivers-waterboard-89-year-old-woman/). I watched all this with a sense of sadness and disgrace for the human race. And then a realization hit me like a sledgehammer… People are only following by example These random acts of tyranny aren’t really random acts at all. They are the infantile acting-out of behaviors the childish American public has witnessed being demonstrated by their “leaders.” The TSA sexually molesting air travelers isn’t just a violation of fundamental human rights — it’s also a demonstration to the mindless masses that this is now “normal” behavior in society, you see. So as the masses observe Big Government reaching down their own pants, they now get the message that it’s okay to sexually molest little boys at sports stadiums, or that it’s okay to take children away from parents through C.P.S. and then rape them as part of child relocation “processing” procedures. When the American people see George Bush set up secret military prisons and condone waterboarding torture techniques, they called for Obama to stop the practice. Obama promised he would, and then not long after becoming President, he expanded Gitmo and actually presided over an increase in funding for the military and all its secret torture facilities. The message to the American people? If Obama supports it, then torture must be okay. After all, he won a Nobel Peace Prize, so “peace” must be something that can be achieved through torture. Thus, we should not be at all surprised when an 89-year-old woman gets water-boarded in a nursing home. After all, those staffers are only doing to her what they’ve watched the U.S. leaders do to other human beings, too. (And yet, for some reason, the nursing home staff were arrested while all the high-level government operatives who engage in the exact same torture techniques are never even questioned…) This phenomenon of everyday American people mirroring the behavior of federal “authorities” who act as tyrants needed a name, and as I began to ponder this issue, the name came to me in a flash: I’m calling this phenomenon Trickle-Down Tyranny . Trickle-Down Tyranny Just as children mimic the actions of their parents, the childish minds of the insecure (and fear-pummeled) mainstream masses also mimic the actions of their parental role models. To many Americans — and especially those of a more liberal mindset — government takes on the role of their parents . The government is supposed to tell you what to eat, what to buy, what to believe and of course how to express your patriotism when needed to justify the latest war launched by a Nobel-Peace-Prize-winning warmonger. Government is the “authority” and the problem solver in the lives of these people. So naturally, in their childish mindset they seek to replicate the behaviors their parental role models are openly exhibiting. Here’s how this looks on the street: Your average city police officer is a wannabe tyrant who now, by watching the criminality of the federal government, feels he has permission to engage in the same tactics of intimidation and arrogance in ruling over the public (rather than serving to protect them). That’s why so many big-city police officers have recently morphed into paramilitary jack-booted thugs; dressing in black, unlawfully arresting people for no justifiable reason, tasering innocent victims in wheelchairs, and generally acting out what is essentially a childish reflection of the very same tyranny they witness being demonstrated by high-level tyrants in Washington D.C. The FBI, for its part, is busy actually masterminding the very same “terror plots” that it then magically “prevents” with great fanfare. As recently exposed in The Guardian (and other newspapers), the FBI actually develops terror plots, provides the plans, weapons, funding, motivation and equipment necessary for these “terrorists” to carry out those plots (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/nov/16/fbi-entrapment-fake-terror-plots?fb=native&CMP=FBCNETTXT9038). This is a whole lot like playing a “big-boy” version of Cowboys and Indians , where all the scenarios are completely fabricated merely for the purpose of playing games as a source of entertainment. Trickle-Down Tyranny is also now being seen in local schools, where “zero-tolerance” rules get children kicked out of the public education system for merely bringing a butter knife in their home-packed lunch, for example. Or a child caught with an aspirin tablet is labeled a “drug abuser” and condemned to special remediation classes. The tyrants are everywhere in American society now Think about the tyrants that have now descended upon you in your own life — the tyrant down at the DMV, the tyrant dog license enforcer, the tyrant building inspector and the tyrant food service worker, also sometimes known as “soup Nazi.” When you really think about it, there are tyrants everywhere now in American culture. The fabric of fear and terror is being woven into that fabric with every “the threat level is now orange” alert put out by George Bush, or every “spy on your neighbors” message broadcast by the ogre of offensive tyrants, DHS head Janet Napolitano. What these people claim to be doing — “stopping terrorism!” — pales in comparison to what they’re really doing: setting examples to be followed by every single person across America who finds himself or herself in a position of authority. We’ll just ALL be tyrants! Terrorizing innocents is now politically correct behavior Through its moronic (and completely fabricated) war on terror, the national leadership in the USA has made it politically correct to terrorize anyone over whom you exercise power . If you’re a librarian, you can terrorize little children over past-due books (that is, if children actually read books at all anymore). If you’re a septic tank inspector, you can terrorize people over the layout of their septic pipes. If you’re a doctor, you can terrorize people over flu shots and chemotherapy, all being aggressively pushed with the very same fear tactics now used at the highest levels of national government. Trickle-down tyranny happens because the political leaders of America have broadcast a message across the nation that terrorizing innocent people is not merely okay, but downright patriotic! Anyone who says they’re not going along with all the terror nonsense, the spy-on-your-neighbor paranoia and the “worship-your-imperialist-government” cultism is immediately branded an “extremist.” It’s now “extreme,” you see, to not believe in torture and home-grown terror as a way to keep the sheeple in line. “Extremism” is now defined as opening your eyes, asking some commonsense questions, and refusing to follow the hypnotized masses as they are marched off a high cliff by the globalist population controllers. Merely thinking for yourself, it turns out, is now “extreme.” It’s a brave new world after all, I suppose. Fear and paranoia is being marketed to the public in an attempt to transform the citizenry into a grand spy ring The social acceptance of spying on your neighbors and promoting fear has reached a new fervor across America, very nearly reflecting that of Nazi Germany in the late 1930′s. It’s now okay to call 911 on somebody merely because they happen to be writing something down on a scrap of paper in a public park (that’s one of the signs of possible terrorism, according to ludicrous DHS public service videos that only breed paranoid thinking). It’s now okay to spy on everyone around you and secretly observe them to see what they’re doing. It’s now your duty to watch over every scrap of luggage at the airport and start screaming about terror threats if some poor sap walks more than 10 feet away from his bags for a few seconds. Recently, East Carolina University was thrust into a state of “lock down” for 3 hours after some spy-on-your-neighbor citizens reported a man walking around with an “assault rifle.” That assault rifle, of course, turned out to be nothing more than a black umbrella (http://www.startribune.com/nation/133964418.html). But this is the level of outrageous hallucinations and total lunatic paranoia that has been unleashed on the American people today by a fear-mongering, imperialist government which worships fear and terror with almost cult-like zealousness. And they call conspiracy theorists paranoid? Maybe they should look in the mirror sometime… no well-informed conspiracy investigator would ever mistake an umbrella for an assault rifle in broad daylight. The antidote is Trickle-Up Liberty Fortunately, there’s a ready solution to all this. The antidote to Trickle-Down Tyranny is Trickle-Up Liberty… also known as “grassroots People power.” This is what happens when ordinary, everyday citizens realize that all government power comes from the People and that government is the servant of the People, not the other way around. So they take to the streets and protest. They take their money out of the accounts of globalist banks. They stop buying GMOs. They fight against water fluoride in their local towns. They spread the word about Ron Paul. Trickle-Up Liberty is so powerful that it will sooner or later overcome Trickle-Down Tyranny… but only if enough people actually remember what liberty feels like. That’s why, as the editor of NaturalNews, I urge you to practice liberty in everything you do. Don’t settle for tyranny when you can insist on liberty! After all, the Bill of Rights guarantees you a number of extremely important rights, many of which are now being quickly eroded. Stand up for restoring those rights and you will empower the phenomenon of Trickle-Up Liberty (grassroots liberty), which is the ultimate solution against Trickle-Down Tyranny. You can also defend liberty by practicing common courtesy (and common sense) in your own positions of power. Don’t terrorize people just because you can. Exercise common human decency and compassion for those who deserve your assistance. When you practice random acts of kindness , you alter the entire emotional landscape across America, replacing fear with kindness. Replacing terror with confidence. If corporate CEOs would practice this, then… well, most corporations would probably go out of business because they’re mostly in the business of screwing people over for a profit. “There is no such thing as a victimless billionaire,” remember. That level of wealth accumulation simply doesn’t happen without taking from others in the process. But remember: In the end, kindness will always win out over terror. Spread a little around, and you’ll see what a world of difference it can really make. And try to remember not to carry black umbrellas around any liberal college campuses, or you’ll quickly find out what trickle-down tyranny really looks like.

TSA morons conduct bomb drill in Minnesota airport, but don’t tell police

(NaturalNews) With their guns draw and packing live ammo, police officers at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport surrounded a man smuggling a bomb in a carry-on bag. Although details are sketchy because the TSA is trying to downplay this incident, the cops were no doubt yelling at the man to hit the floor and surrender. Had this man acted in any sort of threatening-looking way, the cops would have certainly opened fire on him. This all took place at a TSA security checkpoint at the airport. There’s only one problem with it: The whole thing was a TSA security drill — but nobody informed the cops! (http://www.startribune.com/local/minneapolis/122200374.html) Gee, let’s stage a bomb drill but don’t tell the cops So here are the TSA morons, who behave as if they are cops even though they are not in any way sworn law enforcement officers, running their own bomb drill in an airport, surrounded by innocent members of the public. They send a guy into the TSA security checkpoint, at which point he probably screams out “I have a bomb!” or something similar. The airport cops, who are of course on the lookout for precisely this kind of threatening behavior, pull their pistols and hit their radios to bring in more cops. The result was a surrounding of the bomb carrier and a tense scene of law enforcement getting very, very close to letting loose with live fire in an international airport. I’m sure every beat cop and law enforcement professional reading this will agree with me on this point: These TSA goons are complete morons. You don’t run a bomb drill in a public airport without notifying the cops first! TSA endangers police officers Through their completely idiotic actions, they put the lives of both police officers and members of the public in great danger. The TSA actually engineered a situation that could have very easily resulted in a loss of life. Had the “bomber” made a sudden move, he could have easily been shot by a cop who would then, no doubt, be investigated for the killing and probably stripped of his badge and retirement merely for doing his job. This is yet another reason why the TSA is so dangerous. It is a rogue agency that runs around acting like law enforcement but has absolutely NO law enforcement training or skills. The TSA is a group of perverts, criminals, pornography distributors (http://www.prisonplanet.com/tsa-officer-charged-in-distributing-child-pornography.html) and power-trip wannabe cops who suddenly and magically have been given the obscene power to reach down your pants and feel your genitals. If a Sheriff, a cop, or an FBI agent pulled that maneuver, they’d be fired from their job and probably brought up on criminal charges. But for some reason the TSA is allowed to pull this stunt every day, even though TSA agents are not sworn law enforcement officers! The TSA is a rogue agency that now threatens not just the safety of the public, but also the safety of legitimate law enforcement personnel . This is why the TSA must be stopped , and Texas is trying to do something about it by passing a law to criminalize the TSA’s actions (http://www.naturalnews.com/032401_TSA_Texas.html). TSA’s actions are already crimes under federal law Technically, the TSA reaching down your pants is already a federal crime , it’s just that no one has yet been prosecuted for it. Jesse Ventura has a lawsuit pending against the TSA for sexual assault, but that has not been resolved yet (http://www.infowars.com/ventura-strikes-back-with-lawsuit-against-tsa/). TSA agents have been caught stealing items out of peoples’ luggage (http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/03/extsa_worker_admits_stealing_f.html) and (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/09/13/eveningnews/main643165.shtml), planting fake cocaine in their bags (http://www.naturalnews.com/030302_TSA_naked_body_scanners.html), feeling up infants (http://www.disinfo.com/2011/05/a-baby-gets-a-tsa-patdown-photo/) and now running bomb scares right in the middle of an international airport, with innocent people standing around and potentially in harm’s way. What’s next for this rogue agency? Are they going to run LIVE bomb drills and demand they start carrying their own pistols and rifles? You are watching the rise of the secret police The American people don’t get this yet, and the mainstream media is totally clueless about this, but what’s really happening right now is that we are watching the rise of the new Amerikan Secret Police . They are the TSA. They’re already expanding into train stations and stadiums. Soon, these government goons will be the people checking your papers at every street corner, lifting cash out of your wallet or feeling down the pants of young women just because they can. If we don’t stop the TSA right now, they will rise up to become the new Nazi criminals in America . We’ve seen it all before in history, and history is now repeating itself. This is the Nazi police state growing and expanding right before our very eyes. Remember, the TSA already claims it rules supreme over state law (http://www.infowars.com/tsa-responds-to-texas-resistance-is-futile/) and that the states have zero power to stop the TSA from reaching down your pants and molesting you and your children. Right now, there is absolutely nothing stopping the TSA from becoming the new secret police organization that conducts illegal searches and engaged in routine sexual molestation of innocent people, all while claiming it has the “supreme” right to do so under the U.S. Constitution! Incredible… Folks, if you’re not listening to Alex Jones on this topic (www.InfoWars.com), you’re not fully informed about the depth of the TSA tyranny. Alex pulls together an amazing spectrum of relevant facts from history that teach us how the TSA is becoming the new Nazis of Amerika. If we don’t stop these tyrants now, we are going to be overrun by these federal agents who will stop at nothing to expand their power. Was the TSA testing the police response? I wouldn’t be surprised if the TSA is already planning to fake a bomb incident in order to make itself seem more important. This drill in Minnesota may have actually been a way to test the police response to determine how much the TSA can get away with. All it will take is one TSA plot to set off a live bomb at some airport in America, and suddenly they will be granted the power to carry guns or conduct full-body cavity searches without any warrants or reasons whatsoever. We are just one engineered “terror event” away from the next expansion of TSA tyranny. You can bet the people who run this agency — who are already lawless tyrants with zero respect for the Fourth Amendment — are working on ways for them to take away more rights of the people, hire more enforcement agents and become even more powerful throughout American society. I pray we can stop these thugs before it turns to bloodshed. Because in the end, I know the American people will not tolerate tyranny for very long , and a public backlash could end up being quite bloody. To avoid that, we need to pass laws right now across all the U.S. states to outlaw the TSA and their criminal activities. Evict the TSA from our states immediately! Stay tuned to NaturalNews.com and InfoWars.com to learn more about the tyranny of the TSA. We will absolutely not stop reporting on this issue until the TSA is evicted from our states and prevented from abusing us any longer. The cops, by the way, are with us on this issue. Same with active and retired military. Nobody likes the TSA except the TSA itself. Even the media has to largely fabricate positive spin stories on this rogue agency to try to create the impression that people actually enjoy being treated like terrorists at the airport. Even the pilots are fed up with the whole thing.

Don’t Touch my Junk – Here’s why I wrote this song (Health Ranger)

(NaturalNews) Last Wednesday night, I just couldn’t sleep. The story of traveler John Tyner just stuck in my head. “Don’t Touch My Junk” seemed to be a powerful statement from a regular guy standing up to Big Brother. It was the linguistic equivalent of that Chinese student standing in the path of a tank in Tiananmen Square in 1989. And the phrase “Don’t Touch My Junk” kept rolling around inside my head. So instead of trying (and failing) to go to sleep, I got up from my bed and started typing lyrics into my laptop computer. And then the music suddenly struck me — I had recently licensed a song by an amazing composer (Dan Gautreau) that seemed to fit perfectly with this idea, so I began to put the lyrics together with the song. Almost instantly, the chorus line of “Don’t Touch My Junk” was formed. Recording the song in just 9 hours The next day, I started recording this song at about 1 pm. Amazingly, I finished it by 10 pm. Yes — this entire song took no more than nine hours to fully record, mix and produce. I could hardly believe it myself, actually, because usually these things take many days or even weeks to nail down. But this one was just unbelievably rapid because I did all the recording myself, on my laptop, using a high-end microphone and audio input device. The song contains over 440 individual recordings of my voice, singing the lead lines, harmonies, rap lines, etc. The only voice in the song that isn’t mine is the scream. All the harmonies are 100% natural. I don’t use automatic harmonizers. I just sing the harmonies myself and bang them out with eight to twelve layers. As I’ve been recording a lot of songs lately, this process is becoming very efficient, and I can nail the harmonies usually with the first take (practice makes perfect, huh?). But I have to admit that after singing 440+ lines in nine hours, my voice was fairly stressed for the day. That’s a stretch for any recording artist. Where the lyrics came from In terms of the lyrics, my goal was to make this song funny, edgy and even slightly graphic (but not gross). I wanted it to tell the truth about what’s going on in the airports these days, but not to turn people off from getting too detailed about the TSA’s molestation of little kids, for example. That’s just too graphic to put into a song. It’s a delicate balance. It’s hard to make a topic this serious sound funny at the same time. After all, we’re talking about our freedoms here. Frankly, this is no laughing matter, but the “don’t touch my junk” line was just begging for a comedy treatment with a serious message, so I went for it. On projects like these, you never really know what the public will think. No doubt a few people will decide to be offended by the lyrics, but imagine how much more offended they must feel by the TSA agents who actually perform these acts! I think singing as a form of public protest is an important expression that will hopefully raise the kind of awareness that can lead to real changes. After all, it is rather ridiculous that we Americans living here in the “Land of the Free” are being molested by our own government agents in the name of “security.” Origins of some of the lines On another topic, you may notice in the song some lines borrowed from the song “My Humps” by the Black Eyed Peas. That’s where the line “This ain’t your lovely lady lump” comes from. I also borrowed from MC Hammer with the “Don’t Touch This” line that just fit perfectly in the song. The “Lordy Lordy I declare…” line is from an old schoolyard rhyme that today’s youth are probably not that familiar with, but anyone over the age of 40 will instantly recognize it. The rhyme really does mention “London” and “France” which just happens to rhyme with “underpants.” This is not some sleight towards France, by the way. It’s just the way the rhyme goes. If anything, France’s airport security procedures make a lot more sense than America’s these days… The Scottish Kilt idea was borrowed from a journalist named Jeffrey Goldberg who writes for The Atlantic (http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2010/11/tsa-opt-out-day-now-with-a-superfantastic-new-twist/66545/). He wrote about this a few days ago as a form of public protest against the TSA’s unreasonable searches. It was a brilliant idea and I wanted to reflect it in the song. I originally recorded it as “Irish Kilt” but then I realized that kilts, even though they were used by the Irish, are more frequently associated with Scots. A “true Scotsman” was a man who wore a kilt with no undergarments. So I went with the Scottish kilt for the song. In all, this song is really a conglomeration of ideas, sentiments and concerns carried in the minds of millions of Americans right now. It merely reflects what they’re thinking — and perhaps what they want to say — with the benefit of being wrapped inside a comedic musical presentation that’s fully protected by Free Speech (the First Amendment, of course). That’s the thing about the Amendments in the Bill of Rights: Each one helps protect the other one. Without the First Amendment, I couldn’t write this song. And frankly, without the Second Amendment, Big Brother wouldn’t bother paying any attention to the People at all. Each of the first 10 Amendments in the Bill of Rights are hugely important to our freedoms. And the entire point of creating the Bill of Rights was to protect the People from government tyranny . In other words, the Bill of Rights was created precisely to protect us from the kind of thing we’re suffering under today with the TSA — an unreasonable, even criminal invasion of our personal space by overzealous government thugs on some sort of runaway power trip. I hope you enjoy this song and share it with your friends. Spread the word that Americans will not put up with TSA tyranny . Big Brother does not have any rights to the junk in your trunk.

But when they grabbed my man junk I couldn’t help myself I had to shout, I had to shout, I had to get my message out, I said Don’t touch my junk Don’t touch my junk I’ll have you arrested If you touch my junk Don’t touch my junk This ain’t your lovely lady lump I don’t want to be molested So don’t touch my junk So I went back Wearing a Scottish kilt I popped three Viagra To make sure my stuff would not wilt When it came my turn For that nasty pat down They thought I had a weapon So they made me pull it out Don’t touch my junk Don’t touch my junk I’ll have you arrested If you touch my junk Don’t touch my junk Let go of my hump my hump my hump I don’t want to be molested So don’t touch my junk Now who put these morons with a badge in charge, and gave them the right to molest us in the name of security? Don’t touch my junk (can’t touch this) Don’t touch my junk (can’t touch this) They X-rayed my bags and then They patted down my elephant trunk They went up my shorts They went down my pants This ain’t romance No it’s the TSA hustle They felt me up While they put me down They squeezed my butt In that TSA hustle This is happening in the land of the free? Alex Jones was right! I’m gonna smuggle a copy of the Bill of Rights next to my body, so when they reach down there they get a hand full of Fourth Amendment. Lordy Lordy I declare Big Brother’s in my underwear Fly to London, fly to France Big Sis checkin’ out my underpants They went up my shorts (can’t touch this) They went down my pants (can’t touch this) This ain’t romance No it’s the TSA hustle They felt me up Like they were my personal physician Put your hands in the air In the surrender position This ain’t security And this ain’t sex It’s some other kind of tyranny And now you’re next It’s time to stop these Big Brother Nazi thugs Next time you fly just tell ‘em Don’t touch my junk The Bill of Rights, baby.

TSA agents gone wild: fondling little children, planting cocaine in passenger bags and more

(NaturalNews) TSA agents stand accused today of fondling the genitals of women and little children as part of their “enhanced pat-down” procedures being rolled out at airport security checkpoints. Today, Michelle, an employee working at the Alex Jones’ InfoWars studios, has gone public with accusations that a male TSA agent felt up her crotch and fondled her breasts at a security checkpoint in Denver. A male agent attempted to feel up the crotch of her little girl, too. You can watch the full video report on this at http://www.infowars.com/tsa-fondles-women-and-children-refusing-airport-naked-body-scanners/ I’ve actually met Michelle in person, so I know she’s a real person and I recognize her voice from the video. She’s the customer service person at the Alex Jones studios where I was a guest several weeks ago. She’s a regular American mom just trying to go from point A to point B without being sexually assaulted by TSA agents. What TSA agents did to her, according to her interview with Alex Jones, is consistent with a felony crime of “sexual assault.” So now you have a choice at the airport: You can either go through the X-Ray machine, or you can subject yourself to an X-Rated pat-down by TSA agents. Watch the video in the link above to learn more shocking details about what’s happening at TSA checkpoints today. TSA agent drops cocaine into travelers’ bags In a related story about the criminal behavior of TSA agents, TSA documents released through a Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA) now reveal that one TSA agent working the security checkpoint at Philadelphia International Airport planted a white powdery substance that appeared to be cocaine in the bags of air travelers . (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/stupid/memos-detail-tsa-officers-cocaine-pranks) This was no entry-level employee, either — released documents reveal he was a “bomb appraisal officer.” He pulled this cocaine stunt multiple times, too. One time he confronted a 22-year-old college girl with the apparent cocaine and asked if she was carrying anything she wasn’t supposed to. After the prank, the student broke down in tears from the terror of the event and eventually lodged a complaint with the airline. (TSA agents are the new terrorists, see?) TSA officers think it’s funny to plant cocaine in your bags or feel up your breasts. It’s all part of the police state training, of course: It’s not merely about getting people to follow orders; it’s also about humiliating individuals to make them feel inferior to police state authorities. The body searches these TSA agents conduct might be described in some cases as sexual molestation and pedophile activities that would land anybody else in federal prison. Just for the record, however, when I was subjected to a TSA pat-down recently, they did not fondle my testicles at all. (http://www.naturalnews.com/030100_naked_body_scanners_airport.html) They actually swept my crotch with the back of their hand. I don’t agree with it, but I didn’t feel as if I was being sexually molested. That was out of the airport in San Jose, California. So it appears that some TSA agents may be handling this very differently than others. I might have felt different about the crotch sweeping if I were a woman being felt up by a man, of course. I think what the TSA is doing is highly inappropriate, especially when done to women and children. We are not the terrorists here! The TSA needs to stop with these ridiculous “enhanced pat downs” and end the use of naked body scanner.

Ecuador travel survival guide: What to bring on a trip to Vilcabamba, Loja or Quito

(NaturalNews) Traveling in Ecuador can be very rewarding: It’s one of the most beautiful destinations in all the Americas, and there are some truly fascinating things to explore there. I spent most of my time in Southern Ecuador, near Loja and Vilcabamba (the Valley of Longevity), but I also traveled around Quito and Guayaquil, too. In these travels, I learned some important travel tips that I’m sharing here. If you plan to visit Ecuador, take these to heart: They’ll save you all sorts of frustration once you get there. Watch those numbers When you buy items at local shops, it’s not unusual for them to add up the purchase total on a slip of paper. (Ecuadorian merchants are much better at math than North American workers, most of whom have forgotten how to add…) When you see the total, you might be shocked to discover that things seem more expensive than they should. Well, here’s why: Ecuadorians write the number “1″ to look like a “7″. Yep: What looks to you and me like a seven is actually a one in Ecuador. Their sevens have a cross-mark on them to distinguish them from ones. So if you think your grocery bill total came to $75.70, the truth is that it’s probably just $15.10. Carry a flashlight everywhere Ecuador doesn’t have a lot of street lights. At night, it gets dark. Sometimes really dark. So always carry a flashlight with you wherever you go. I always carried a head-worn flashlight. It was the easiest to carry and use. In a pinch, you can buy one of these in Ecuador, but they’re less expensive to buy in the USA first, before you go. (I don’t know the pricing in Canada, Europe or elsewhere, but it’s probably cheaper to buy it first.) I also found it handy to always carry a pocket tool with a simple knife. The best I found is the Skeletool by Leatherman. Here’s a link to it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-830850-Skeletool-CX-Multitool/dp/B000XU43IC I’ve also seen these for sale at Target stores in the USA. Learn how merchants describe prices If something costs you two dollars and fifty cents, that’s described to you as, “Dos con cincuenta.” That’s “two with fifty.” They don’t say “two dollars and fifty cents.” They just say “Two with fifty.” Merchants will often not bother with demanding every single cent. If the total is $2.52, and you give them $2.50, that’s usually enough. Likewise they will sometimes give you back slightly less change. If they owe you $1.03 in change, they might just give you a buck. You should be okay with that. It works both ways. Small bills Even in a major Ecuadorian city like Quito, it’s difficult to break a $50 or $100. Outside the cities, it’s impossible. In rural areas, you’ll even have trouble breaking a $20. Or if you do manage to find some merchant who will take your $20, it usually works like this: You ask them if they can break a $20 for your small purchase. They say yes, they can break it. So you hand them your $20. Then they run out of their shop and disappear for ten minutes. What they’re doing is running around the street trying to find someone who has change for your $20. A few minutes later, they finally reappear with your change. So yes, many local merchants can break a $20 for you, but only if you’re willing to wait while they canvass the town looking for change. To avoid this, always carry $5 and $1 bills. That’s the real currency in Ecuador: Small bills! Taxis Taxi drivers are some of the nicest people in Ecuador. I’ve spent many hours chatting with them during various trips. In Vilcabamba, go with the taxis that look like white pickup trucks. Many of those drivers speak some English, too! It’s good to tip taxi drivers a bit. If your ride is $2, give them an extra 50 cents. If you take a longer trip to a different city, and your ride is $25, it doesn’t hurt to give them $28. They really appreciate the tips, and what I learned is that the next time you need a taxi, they show up right away. I generally tip from 10% – 20%. Taxi drivers are usually fairly honest in Ecuador, except beware of taxis in Guayaquil, which is a city that has higher crime rates than anywhere else in the country. Don’t just jump into any taxi you see. You might get taken for a ride there. But in Vilcabamba and Loja, taxis are almost universally safe and polite. Keep your personal belongings safe While most Ecuadorians are honest, hard-working people, there are a small number who make a living lifting valuable objects off foreigners. This is especially prevalent at the airports, where a friendly-looking business man in a suit might offer to help you with your luggage and then covertly walk away with your laptop (it’s true; it happened to a friend of mine). Laptop theft is so common in Ecuador now that I know an attorney in Loja who won’t even carry a laptop bag anymore. He carries his laptop in an old backpack instead. Anything that looks valuable — a laptop bag, camera bag, and so on — should be disguised as something else. And please don’t make the mistake of putting your purse over the back of the chair you’re sitting on in a local restaurant. When you finish your dinner, that purse will be history. Also, here’s another trick: If you get on a bus to travel from city to city, the bus worker loading your bags might place your bag under your seat. You think it’s safe, right? But what you don’t know is that your bag was purposely put under your seat so that the zipper is facing the rear of the bus. Once you fall asleep, the person behind you will quietly unzip your bag and steal anything valuable. You won’t figure it out until you get to your hotel room and wonder, “Where my iPhone?” Ecuador is actually a very safe country to visit. There’s not much violent crime compared to other countries, but there is a fair amount of petty theft. So travel safely and keep your belongings hidden and close to your body. Learn some Spanish! The best thing you can bring to Ecuador is some Spanish language skills! Some people in Ecuador speak English, but by no means is this a common skill. You’ll need some Spanish to get around and enjoy yourself. If you’re an audio learner, I recommend the Pimsleur Spanish courses. If you’re a visual learner, I recommend Rosetta Stone . I’ve used both courses, and they both taught me a lot. Please try not to pronounce your Spanish like a total newbie gringo! It’s better to have a small vocabulary that you pronounce well than a huge vocabulary that nobody else can understand. Remember: If you aren’t rolling your R’s and softening your D’s, you aren’t pronouncing Spanish correctly. In Ecuador, the letter “V” is pronounced almost like a “B.” Enjoy your visit to Ecuador!
