What? Another coup d'etat in South America? First, Argentina, then Brasil, ...and this time in Venezuela? I tell ya, those 'coup happy' South Americans are a sight to behold. Er, just for some clarification here, .... a constitutionally mandated course for a change of government is not, ....NOT, ..a coup d'etat. Ya see, the Brasilian Parliament is an ELECTED Parliament, so they can do as they so choose. The usual definition of a coup is some drunken guy and his buddies invade a South American Presidential Palace in the dead of the night, guns drawn, wake the current President and his mistress (his wife is usually three doors down) and demand that he leave and/or they shoot him. Coup d'etat. Now, Che, why post an imbecile like Maduro here on a Brasilian blog? After observing this clown lo these many years I've come to the conclusion that this guy has LESS brains than an Amazon tree sloth. Worm-like, and just down and plain stupid. Thick, ....jug-eared. The world has never seen an idiot like Maduro on the world stage before. I mean, like, we've had corrupt politicians, silly politicians, we've had our Stalin Hitler's and Mussolini's.....but never a total buffoon like Nicolas Maduro. This fool should have been eliminated from the human genetic pool many centuries back. It's a wonder this loon can tie his own shoes, let alone figure out what to with his erection and procreate. But, somehow, someway, this genetic mutant reached the 21st century with an intellect just above, or perhaps equal to, an Amazon tree sloth. As for Dilma, ...oh my, the fun times are over aren't they? No more Presidential trips. No more playing hostess to diplomats and power brokers. It's all over. "Honey, pack your bags and don't let the door hit you on your big, fat arse on the way out." Adios! No more Dilma. The left of South America weep in mourning. Their empires crumbling. They've been in charge all over South America for almost 15 years now, and utterly destroyed it. The mess they left behind will take decades to fix. They failed. They failed completely. Three more to go, ...Correa, Morales and the Tree Sloth Maduro! Mozart |

CIA informant Temer's band of white brothers consists of seven officials accused of corruption in the Petro Bras ''lava jato'' scandal, a member of the IMF and another who is Goldman Sach's CEO in Brazil. Brazil has just moved it's capital from Brasillia to Wall Street With Dilma out of the picture, the conversation is now all about the new, unelected and equally unpopular Temer gang. Brazil's problems are institutional, meaning that their system of government is an inane conglomeration of dozens of parties, that in order to put together ruling coalitions, each party has to be bribed with cash and cronyism, hense the Petro Bras scandal. Economically the collapse of the commodities markets worldwide, especially the crash of oil prices, is just additional weight on top of recovery Temer, rather than dealing with the institutional reforms needed, talks of austerity measures like cutting jobs, spending and pensions, which will really make him unpopular and wont do much to bring the economy back It doesn't matter, since he probably won't be in office long, seeing that he himself is under investigation and possible indictment for corruption. The word on the street is for new elections and soon |

All over South America the lefties/socialists are "under attack." They're falling like domino's. The game's over for most of them. They've left their people and economies in ruin. Venezuela will fall within 6 months, perhaps sooner. That is the biggest disaster ever. It will take decades to return to a functioning society again. All over South America, .....the lefties/socialists are.....under attack...! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAYB46Z_osM Mozart |

Venezuela's economy is in fact a wreck, Brazil and Argentina are going through recessions, not a wreck. Russia is also going through a recession, China is on the verge of a downturn. America has gone through four recessions in the last thirty years, all during republican administrations. None of these recessions are caused by social welfare programs, but in fact are the result of capitalist ''free markets'' crashing The corporate globalists use economic recessions as an excuse to yell hysterically and call for the ouster of latin American social democratic economic systems and replace them with Wall Street neoliberal economics, which end up trashing social programs while making investors extremely wealthy, but no one else It's called ''shock doctrine'' economics |

Did you, ah, ...like, ....really write that? Really? That's how you see this thing, a recession? Dude, you live on a different planet. One is simply in awe. Perhaps you should go down to Venezuela and become their economic adviser? They would just LOVE having a person like you giving them sound economic advice.... Mozart |

No, actually I live in Brazil. The unemployment has hit the oil industry and those who work around it mostly due to Petrobras's stock collapse, coupled with the general crash of oil prices I understand what you are trying to do, push the idea that social welfare programs caused the collapse. Funny that these very programs over that last decade actually brought prosperity to the people, raising an astounding number of people up to the middle class here. Recessions are market driven, something we Americans learned having been through four of them since Reagan. The formula is to push a lot of cash into the system, the markets become overvalued, they immediately deflate. We saw that with the tax cut bubble, the dot com bubble, the housing bubble and the derivitives bubble, now we see the oil bubble deflate Worldwide the wealthy are consolidating power, pushing out social democracies in central and south America, installing their puppet neoliberal governments Thats our dystopian future - gated rich enclaves, walling out masses of former middle class and poor to fend for themselves. Classic colonial class division |

Nope, not in Argentina. That is you, exaggerating. It is, if improperly used. Nope. They MUST follow the Constitution and the Laws. That was the definition, fourty years ago. The current definition is more sophisticated. I like this variant, in particular... Oh, just a bit of free association here, free association there... So tell me, Wolfgang: how do you feel really about Maduro?

Yes, that seems more and more probable. All the World System is "wired" for that. Of course, it remains to be seen the stability of it. When the rich into the enclaves be very few, and the masses outside of the walls be huge... |

Telesur? .....Telesur? These left-wing idiots are gonna spout the achievements (.... ) of Dilma Rouseff? Really?Like, do you believe any of that? How much Kool Aid do you actually drink in the morning? Can you not look around and see for yourself the utter collapse of the Brailian economy? It is a catastrophe, an ongoing train wreck. There is no logic to this, just blind obedience to a political cause.... Mozart |

Everything. Nothing. Everything is very expensive, in Macri's Argentina. The teleSUR picture refers to all PT terms (2xLula+1.25xDilma). A bit more of 13 years. It's not an assessment of the current economic situation. It's serious, but not a catastrophe. That is you, exaggerating again... ...and trying to manufacturing your own, virtual crisis for justifying Shock Doctrine. |
