Car won't start? Step one, check battery power.
All the ECU statements are red herrings. The ECU being a problem would not prevent the car from turning over.
The conspiracy theories are hilarious however!

I've had this happen during a parking ramp where my lights were on for about an hour. Battery was low but everything on the inside was working (headunit, lights ect). Just wouldn't start/crank. I Rolled it down the ramp and popped the clutch to start it.
I would definitely look into seeing if another battery would start the car. Jumps don't always work.
