Brazil judge blocks Lula appointment to government

I pointedly said that they are ALL corrupt down there. I bet he resigns his speakership after impeachment and about 5 minutes more before it's taken away.

Did you hear his defense on this? He said the money just showed up in his bank accounts, he didnt know how it got there!
Yes, i knew it. It's like Macri: when asked about $20 millions of public money that he gave to his crony, Fernando Miembro, without any licitation, he said (with stone face): "Error in data entry".

Total, Clarín covers everything in Argentina, same like O Globo in Brazil. The rightie zombies swallow.

And here we are. Other "fine", neoliberal mess in the making.

The PMDB have been frusrated for years due to PT continuously winning presidential elections that they figure this is the only way back into power, and thats to impeach Dilma. For them it would also be a get out of jail card for many of them, seeing that they're up to their necks in corruption themselves. The irony of all this is that Dilma inaugerated the whole clean up of politics, but it ended up dragging down almost everybody from all parties, including her own

The only guy known for being totally clean is Sr Suplicy, the former senator from Sao Paulo. If anyone should be the next president of Brasil, it's him

Can i commision you for the menial task of updating that Wikipedia article?

Federal Court removes judge Bonadío from Hotesur case on irregularities
Macri Accused of Using Argentina's Courts to Go After Rivals
Government files to be a co-plaintiff in Hotesur case

Please, pay special attention to the part where:


  • On Wednesday, a Victory Front (FpV) lawmaker filed a complaint before the OA to investigate Macri for graft after the president used a private helicopter service belonging to British tycoon Joseph Lewis during a visit to the latter’s property in Lago Escondido, Río Negro province, last week.

    In his writ, Río Negro lawmaker Martín Doñate demanded Macri be investigated for graft since Lewis is the main investor of the Tavistock Group, which has Pampa Energía as one of its main investments. Pampa Energía has interests in the Edenor electricity distributor. The FpV lawmaker demanded that the office led by Alonso should investigate “the number of ... officials who travelled to Río Negro” as well as their expenses for the president’s visit to Lewis’ estancia during his visit to Bariloche to coincide with US President Barack Obama’s brief stay in the city.

Is a Silent Coup in Democratic Disguise Taking Place in Brazil?
Quote:
 
After the first phase of overt military regime changes in Latin America, the 1954 CIA overthrow of Guatemala’s Jacobo Arbenz ushered in the era of covert coups. The list is well known: Arbenz in Guatemala, Allende in Chile. Much less well known is the 1964 Kennedy administration coup that removed Brazil’s João Goulart from power. Noam Chomsky calls Goulart’s government “mildly social democratic.” Its replacement was a brutal military dictatorship.

Latin American coups are no longer commonly overt military actions or covert CIA actions. Since Obama came to power, coups, including Latin American coups, are silent coups. Unlike the earlier coups in Iran, Guatemala and Chile, these coups never take off their masks and reveal themselves as coups. They involve no tanks nor guns. They are coups that are silently disguised as domestic current events.

The new coups are cloaked in one of two disguises. In the first, the same minority who lost in the polls moves its message to the streets disguised as the voice of mass democratic expression; in the second, the minority executes its defeated desire in the disguise of the legal or constitutional workings of the legislature or the courts.

Brazil today is showing signs of both.

The PMDB for all intents is a criminal enterprise, it's leaders are all under investigation and indictment for corruption. If they manage to pull off this impeachment/coup (golpe) against Dilma, based on flimsy charges of misrepresenting economic figures, Brazillians can kiss their democracy goodbye, possibly for decades. These are ruthless people whose families are tied to the 1964 coup. Once they grab power, watch the corruption probes to suddenly disappear

One thing we have to bare in mind is the worldwide the upper 1% control more than half the wealth in the world, and they are scared to death that the other 99% want to take it away from them through democratic means. So there are efforts by these wealthy elites to shelter their wealth by subverting the democratic process, or more specifically, to game it to their advantage. They are consolidating the media, buying it up and using it to set people against each other. They control the markets, so they can manipulate them to cause economic downturns, blame it on governments they find unfavorable to them, destabilize those governments, place their people in key positions of power, like judges, and through their wealth they control everything. You end up with a feudalistic anti-society where the wealthy live within their gated communities or in lavish, expensive cities like London, New York or Monaco, while the rest of the population lives outside in powerless dystopian poverty

All it takes to get into the global 1% is a annual salary of +30,000.

Attempted coup in Brazil seeks to reverse election results
Quote:
 
If you are following the news of political turmoil in Brazil, it may be difficult to get a grasp of what is really going on. This often happens when there is an attempted coup in the Western Hemisphere, and especially when the U.S. government has an interest in the outcome. Usually the information about that interest, and often Washington's role, is the first casualty of the conflict. (Twenty-first century examples include Paraguay in 2012, Haiti in 2011 and 2004, Honduras in 2009, Ecuador in 2010 and Venezuela in 2002.)

Support for Rousseff's impeachment ebbs in Brazil poll
Quote:
 
A smaller majority of Brazilians favor the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff compared to last month, while more than half want her immediate successor to be impeached too, according to a survey released on Saturday by polling firm Datafolha.

The poll also showed growing support for former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in a potential 2018 presidential bid, another boost for the ruling Workers Party as it fights opposition leaders' efforts to impeach Rousseff.

Brazil impeachment: Vote deals new blow to Rousseff

Quote:
 
Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff has suffered a blow to her hopes of staving off impeachment proceedings, after a committee voted they should go ahead.
The 65-member congressional committee voted 38 to 27 to recommend impeachment over claims she manipulated government accounts to hide a growing deficit.
All eyes will now be on a full vote in the lower house on 17 or 18 April.
The issue has divided Brazil, with police preparing for mass protests in the capital, Brasilia.

WATCH: Exclusive Interview by Glenn Greenwald with Former Brazilian President Lula da Silva
Quote:
 
The life trajectory of Brazil’s former President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (“Lula”) has been extraordinary. Born into extreme poverty, Lula left the presidential office in 2010, after serving two terms, with an unprecedented 86 percent approval rating, seemingly destined to enjoy almost universal respect on the world stage and to be remembered as one of modern history’s greatest statesmen. Similar to the post-office path of Tony Blair and Bill and Hillary Clinton, Lula, since his term ended, has amassed great personal wealth by delivering speeches and providing consulting services to global power centers. The moderately left-wing party he co-founded, the Worker’s Party (PT), has now controlled the presidency for fourteen straight years.
