Brazil's Political Scandals Show a Land of Conmen and Schemers PDF Print E-mail
2005 - September 2005

Plenary of Brazil's House of Representatives (Chamber of Deputies)One of the strengths of a country's liberties is generally considered to be the solidity of its institutions such as the presidency, monarchy, Congress, and, of course, the judiciary. The thinking behind this view is that strong institutions allow a system to continue to function regardless of the individuals who run them. Institutions in Brazil have rarely played this stabilizing role.

"Scotland tops list of world's most violent countries"

See the news at:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1786945,00.html

We Braziians are not alone!
Scotland...
written by Guest, September 21, 2005
please review your copy. The article you refer said....Scotland is the most violent country of developped nations !!!!
That they were number one out of a total of 21 countries !!!! 21 countries are not the world...as you said !!!!!

But worldwide...you are close to being the number......ONE !!!!!!

Dont mix up numbers and ratings....please !!!!! smile......

As to John article.....there is one Brazilian person who said many times...before and during the current crisis.....that there is no corruption in his government and that it was
only a dirty trick from elite and opposition ! that was the reason his government first tried not to have the investigations opened !!!! Guess why....!!!! Smile....

Everyone know, Brazilians first, that your country is the champion of corruption from left to right !!!!!!

written by Guest, September 21, 2005


...and Brazil was not in the list of the 21 developped countries....mentionned !!!!
Because you are not considered a developped nation....yet...by far !!!!!

So...on your comment that you are not alone...the answer is....yesss you are !!!!!

Sorry...for you !!!!!
Crooks everwhere!
written by Guest, September 21, 2005
Why????????? you have to write like that?????????????????????????????????????????

How can you, imbued with a hysterical mind, affirm confidently that Brazil is the most corrupted country in the world? Maybe we are the only one that exposes more our problems to the world so wolves like you can drool happily.

We are not alone!
simply.......
written by Guest, September 22, 2005

.....because there are international statistics and ratings !

Dont you even read brazilian newspapers ??????????

Dont you read Brazzilmag articles regularly ???

Even today.....you have an article on that subject !!!!!!

So....please....dont feel surprised...by facts...revealed....everywhere !!!!!!!!!!!!!

But...may be....you are one of those corrupted...who denie and refute everything...despite evidences and proofs demonstrated by the various CPMI investigations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I never said you were number one...because even if you are number 8 or 14...whatever...(out of around 200 countries) .you are on the champion league anyway !!!!!

Smile.......

written by Guest, September 22, 2005


...the brazilian system is so good...that when the CPMI were created ...Lula said officially...that no one will get protection, that everyone guilty shiuld be punished ! And that he is ready to cut into their own flesh ! dont you remember ????

Right ?

Well...well....now that the CPMI wanted to have 18 politicains expulsed...your Supreme Court issued an injuction to NOT allow expulsion of the 6 PT members proven to be corrupted by the CPMI !!!!
Now it seems that even the other 12 members wont be expulsed !
Even Cavalcanti who just resigned....cannot be expulsed.

And....ALL of them...will be back...stronger than ever....for next year elections !!!

Is this not in total contradiction...as usual...of what Lula officially promised to the Brazilian society ??????????????????

So far there is only one politician expulsed....Jefferson.... who was corrupted BUT revealed other corrupted politicians !!!!

So why with his expulsion he did not get a gold medal...for his revelations ??????????????
Because without him.....nobody woulkd have said anything !!!!

Dont you think that there was probably a secret deal...at the highest levels, to not have one more politician expulsed ???? So they ,from left to right, could continue to rob again and again deeper and deeper their own country wealth !!!!!!
Drunken Hooligans
written by Guest, September 22, 2005
Does Brazil have a problem with drunken hooligans?
I know that cachaca is cheap and readily available, but what is the situation with respect to violence and crime?
My impression each time I go there is that I haven't seen any people drunk on the street.
Do people get drunk at football matches and then attack the other side's supporters?
Brazilians! please comment!
.....
written by Guest, September 22, 2005


.....you have far worse with your favelas gangs...than the drunken hooligans !!!!!!

Thousands being drunk is different from thousands of people killed...yearly !!!!!!

Ohhh sorry....I also forgot to mention the thousands of innocent people killed...by your police !!!!!! And.....not even punished because protected...by your strange democratic and judicial laws !!!!

The world loves brazilian citizens...but hate your politicians that go totally unpunished...when proofs and evidences show they were/are corrupted...to the roots !!!

Wake up ! Stand up !!!!!!

Your women are beautiful,your beaches are beautiful,your food is delightful,your political system is an unsightly mess. I love you anyway!

We are going to fix our political system by deporting our politicians to where they belong: to a communist country with death penalty for corrupts, like China, for example.

We do have a beautiful country and we need to learn how to preserve it the way it was created.

How about just voting them out of office, would be a start. Although where you would find good replacements, remains a mystery, since it eems scandal touches all who take office. Maybe it's the system that is broken, and how will you fix that.
It\'s pretty much over

Lula and his corrupted cronies are the nail in Brazil's coffin. The large cites will continue to be run by drug lords and organized crime. Murder and mayhem will continue to be common place and indeed get worse. The elite who have turned their back to the problems of Brazil will find no where to hide as violence continues to increase in the high rent resort areas...Brazil, everyday is like New Orleans after Katrinia. The only thing slowing Brazil from its inevitable slide into oblivion is Cardosa's free market polices as the right continues to exploit Brazil's people to provide food and cheap products to Walmart and China. Slavery in 2005, fathers selling their daughters, politicans who have deceived their people reaping huge benefits by corruption, unsafe streets in even the richest areas, a drug addicted middle class...no hope...no future.
wrong...for Walmart.....
written by Guest, September 24, 2005
...Walmart is the cheapest food stores !
Threrefore more people can afford !
...Walmart is the biggest importer....of China !!! Yessss...so it is ! Therefore it provides tens of thousand of jobs...in China...but also in the USA !!!!!

If you think your exports are too cheap...why dont you reduce them...or why dont you transform them to put added value and then only export ???? this would create hundreds of thousands jobs...in Brazil !!!!!

Why are you afraid of Chinese textile exports to your country ?????? Your trade balance with China is highly favorable for you with your grains export to them !!!!! If you restrict them, may be China may prefer to buy some of their grains from the USA...and less from you !!!!

Ohhh...by the way....everyone forgets that Brazil officially recognized.... China as a market economy...last year.
By having done so, this restricts you to put trade barriers with them !!!!!

And please also have a look at the new index called...Fiesp !!!!! It clearly shows that you are not very competitive...worldwide !!!!
This index has just been created...by Brazilians...not by foreign agencies !!!!!!

Just read various recent articles on this site...where some officials agree...that the cost of doing Business in Brazil is too high for many reasons. With so much poverty around....very low wages...how can you not be more compettive ???? Just think about it !!!! The elite and the politicians are taking everything....for them ! So simple.......
Because we are rich
written by Guest, September 24, 2005
And will always be so. We own the intellect, the armies and the economic power and just keep that inmind and we will keep on ticking. Don't you hate it that we continue to have so much influence in the world and have no need or desire for a third world s**thole like Brazil, or any other country for that matter. We elected a moron like Bush and we will survive. No threat to my big house, nice car, my boat, and the Brazilians I pay to cut my grass. You all elected Lula, I am sure he will thank you for making him so damn rich. God you are all so pathetic. The Portuguese made a mess of their world. Brazil is no exception. You can not defend a morally corrupt country such as yours. Name me one great Brazilian leader who has had a real impact on Brazil. You all bring up Dumont, Pelle, Triadentes, Cardosa. What a shame...doomed to be Brazil by Brazilians.
RE cause we are rich
written by Guest, September 25, 2005
That is the voice of hatred, bigotry, pride and ignorance! An envoy from Hell!

Congratulations! You are a living proof that some people are the crap of human race.

What are you doing here? This is a site about Brazil. Go to some other site where people of your lowest level usually meet.

Out of here Nazi!
Because we are rich.....
written by Guest, September 25, 2005
we know Brazil has problems....but writing like that is not called for.

Living in Brazil made me realise just how much richer countries have alot to be thankful for but also need to remember the reasons why.

The poor in Brazil need help, and those who are rich need to think of ways to help them.

We need to think of ways that will benifit those most needy and oppressed.

When you walk down a street and see a middle aged man lying in a box - with no arms or legs with an old cardboard for a sign begging....it kind of sums up the situation.

I'm afraid you're whistling in the dark, my friend. I'm afraid that some day all the boneheaded acts of Mr. Bush are going to hit us very hard. Why is someone like Bill Gates betting against the dollar? Like a good boyscout, "be prepared."
Again...beacuse we are rich...
written by Guest, September 26, 2005
People just don't get it. We own pretty much all the wealth, always have and always will. Even with all that has recently happened, war, weather, and a dumb ass in the White House. Our ecomony is strong and getting stronger even with the high price of oil, home ownership is at a historic high, unemployment is at an all time low, and colleges are graduating more and better students. Can't you see how we are exploting the war for our own gain...just like we did in Japan and Germany, historicaly for us, war is good business, Iraq is no exception. Nope, not betting against a sure thing my Brazilian friend. US capitalism continues to fuel or greedy hands and my bank account keeps getting bigger and bigger. In fact, I just purchased an large home in Cabo Frio for a ridiculous price to go along with my apartment in Ipanema. Gringo gold...you gotta love it!
