    While I am here when are you going to stop cutting down the rainforest for soy, cattle and charcoal? That is how the rest of the worlld thinks of you, not as some kind of bringer of a new better economic system as you seem to think.

    Oh, yeah, we remember how the Brazilian army sent in 2000 troops to wipe out that tribe who tried to protect their ancestral homelands. This was in the 1970's not the 1870's as in USA.

    On this video one of the suspects of cannibalism said that she also made “empadinhas de carne” with the human meet which she sold at the local hospital.

    SouthAmerica: More trouble ahead for the US dollar...


    Pepe Escobar: Hollande wants to end dollar era, will clash with US – May 7, 2012

    Francois Hollande has defeated Nicolas Sarkozy in the French presidential runoff, making him the latest EU leader to be swept aside by the crippling debt crisis. Among the first steps the President-elect is planning, is to push back against German-led austerity measures. Chancellor Angela Merkel has already invited Hollande to Berlin for talks.

    Asia Times roving correspondent, Pepe Escobar, says clashes over Hollande's foreign policy are expected both in Europe and overseas.

  5. I think I'm going to like the New USA.. for one thing people are learning that their supplement manufacturers and herbalists can take advantage of the health research going on all over the world and we can buy health giving products outside of the Big Medicine umbrella. We can employ square foot gardening techniques and grow all our own plants for food and medicine. We can find husbands and wives that are good personality matches by using eharmony or just learning about Myers Briggs.. we can buy anything at all from Amazon, and we can make informed purchases with all the input from product reviews.. who needs a huge economy? If we have enough military to defend our borders and enough infrastructure so we can transact things via the internet and have items delivered to our doorstep then we are good to go, no?

    SouthAmerica: During the years when Lula was president of Brazil - Lula and his vice president gave many hints over the years that Brazil has many nuclear arms.

    I remember reading an article from former president Fernando Henrique Cardoso published about one or 2 years ago where he complains that Brazil has many nuclear warheads which goes against the current Brazilian constitution.



    The Brazilian Atomic Bomb ( The Secret History ) - October 22, 2011

    The Secret History of the Brazilian Atomic Bomb Development. Does Brazil have an Atomic Bomb?

    It seems that Brazil already has the atomic bomb, the result of a top-secret nuclear program developed in early 1960s. The country since 1980 already has had the technology to manufacture them. For the C.I.A Brazil not only has the pump with already manufactured more than 200 nuclear warheads.

    Experts say a country that has nuclear submarines, which dominates the whole technique of enriching uranium since the 80's just does not possess the atomic bomb if it doesn't want.

    If Brazil has the bomb or not is a closely guarded secret !

    SouthAmerica: Today we have reverse immigration between the USA and Brazil - not only Brazilians are returning to Brazil after living in the US for many years, but also young Americans are leaving the USA to go to Brazil to look for a job.


    Forbes – May 2, 2012
    Brazilians Leaving The U.S. Behind
    http://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2012/05/02/brazilians-leaving-the-u-s-behind/?feed=rss_home

    It might not seem that way when walking down the streets of Manhattan or Miami, but Brazilians are leaving the United States behind and heading home.

    A decade ago, places like Little Brazil near 42nd Street in Manhattan were loaded with Brazilian restaurants and shops selling everything from calling cards, to cameras to cheap cell phones and souvenirs._ Today, Little Brazil is a shadow of its former self. The Brazilian restaurants are either half empty, or more full with tourists looking for a sugar-bombed caipirinha, than the Brazilians who live there. (And their picanha is nothing like the real thing. And come on, Pitu? Quem faça caipirinhas com Pitu? Ninguem.)

    In states like Massachusetts, old Portuguese language cities like Fall River have seen the Brazilian community numbers dwindle to maybe a couple of hundred. Where there were once four or five Brazilian store owners in the Flint district of that mill city, there are now only two.

    According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, or IBGE, over 286,500 people immigrated to Brazil in 2010, the most recent year for Census data. And of that total 65% of them were Brazilians coming home after years spent in a U.S. they no longer recognize from the Brazilian immigration heydays that began out of Governador Valdares, a small city in Minas Gerais state that had as many people living in Massachusetts, New Jersey and California, than were living there in the 1990s.

    ...IBGE said that Americans were also moving to Brazil. Around 51,900 U.S. citizens moved to Brazil in 2010, followed by 41,400 Japanese citizens. Japan and Brazil have close historical ties. Japanese dominate many populations in south Brazil.

    Brazil ‘s economy and standard of living are improving.

  8. South America, I see all of these posts from you that seem to forewarn us US citizens of some impending doom, that all we know will change, and that a shift in power is along the horizon. This seems to be your contribution to the forum. You seem to be selling fear. Of what?

    Most of us are busy raising our families and adjusting to change/progress all day and you are fixated on the one thing that is inevitable. If history repeats itself, progress will find new avenues to gain power for different entities. OK. What's next? What are the potential solutions? It is easy to identify the variables of change, but not so easy to formulate a plan of co-existence.

    As long as there is no one telling me what to do I can accept someone else carrying the baton for awhile. It is about time someone else became "Big Daddy" to the world. But try to mess with my stuff and you'd better have a big stick.

    You seem to be an intelligent person. We all like to learn from others. But you keep pounding the same message home everyday like you are teaching first grade. This tact is not important to most of us.

    Is there anything else on your agenda?
