What happened to Magbana? Just curious.

[amyrose2712]

With everything happening in Haiti I miss her posts? Did she just change her name? Also, it is nice to see so many informed woman posting here. I'll have to admit to my unintended prejudices. I thought many here were men only to find out they are wonderful intelligent women! Nothing against men, but men so dominate in journalism or any writing that is its nice to see more and more woman busting through.

1. She's been involved in what's been happening in Haiti, and Honduras, etc.

Here's her blog on Haiti:
HAITI-CUBA-VENEZULA ANALYSIS

http://hcvanalysis.wordpress.com

and her Honduras blog:
http://hondurasoye.wordpress.com/

She also is an activist in Washington, wildly busy all the time.

When I saw the Haitian ambassador kissing Michelle Obama's hand at the State of the Union address, I thought of magbana, because she knows him.

She really gets around!

I hope she'll keep us in mind and check in from time to time if it's possible. I really enjoy her writing, too, amyrose.

3. And how would you know that, with 29 posts?

Magbana hasn't posted at all since you've been here. :)

13. better than your 29,000 posts which can be easily summarized

3. LOL

5. I recall she said that ALBA was going to intervene in the Honduras crisis

she also posted here she liked Ahmadenijad. I suspect she is Downwinder but not sure.

I imagine since the Honduras crisis didn't work out too well for her she will turn her attention to Haiti and Venezuela and blaming the US for everything like many of the other "Democrats" here at DU.

6. Seething hostility from Bacchus39 = effective, informative blogger, well worth reading. nt

8. that's what she said PP, and yousay the US and/or Colombia will invade Venezuela

within 2 years. I think your prediction will be as accurate as Magbana's ALBA prediction.

12. hey Mika. how's Ecuador these days? those fake green bills go alot farther down there

than here in the US don't they?

[Mika]

14. Hey B39. Ecuador is beautiful, excepting a few pockets of desperate urban poverty, like the USA.

They don't deal in US dollars there.

15. hey Mika, some people say that Ecuador has used US dollars since 2000

I could have sworn that is what I used in November. I'd agree with the beauty part. I think there is alot of rural poverty there too. You might want to visit the country side more. Nice place though. but I don't think there is much comparison between poverty in the US and poverty in the Ecuador.


US Dollar was accepted as the national currency of Ecuador on January, 2000, thereby replacing Sucre, the initial Ecuador Currency. It was nationally adopted in Ecuador from September, 2000. http://www.mapsofworld.com/ecuador/currency.html

7. I am honored, but I am afraid your suspicions are unfounded.

Since she now has two sites, it would appear that the Honduras crisis worked out well for her.

10. I suppose, better than for Z although his new accomodations appear quite nice n/t

4. I spoke to her via email as I generally email her when one of her predictions

turns out to be true -- which is much more often than not. She sounds nice and busy. :)
