Brazzil

The press are afraid of the unconstitutional Law of the Press '67, which opens the prospect of civil and criminal prosecution if men in power dont LIKE what is written. The law is still prosecuted even though it is overturned by the '88 constitution.

Let the press free without fearof unconstitutional reprisal, to show these vain, invidious, self agrandizing representatives in all their mendacious villany.

They should open up a blog on the net and post the stories of thies men and women of power that can get away with any thing they want .

as they are self centered me me me , I I I and the stories need to be told to the world and the brazilian people

of there rong doing .
all the monies taken , land , police on the take ,
military officers selling arms , forced payments for goverment contracts
sex trade for better jobs ,

as we all know you can say what you want on the net and not even have to use your real name or tell the truth

WHAT A SHOW THAT WOULD MAKE

Ms. Osava,

Sr Pinto sounds like a rightous crusader, however, an audience of 2000 in Belem will hardly be noticed. Perhaps if you or Mr. Osava would post some of his articles on key internet sites this one?), his struggle and plight might become more well known. It is amazing that in this day and age, his opponents, who must be powerful, use the justice system to silence Pinto, when it should be him, who should be using the system to gain the Freedom of the Press Brazil's consitution calls for.

By the way, timid journalists are not common only to Brazil, we in the US have turned our attention to the plight of Paris Hilton and the murders of white pregnant women, anything that can gain ratings on the evening news. It is unfortunate, but our youth no longer cares about our standing in the world, prefer to look the other way, or plug in an Ipod rather than stop a war or demand justice for all.

i would let him send them to me and i would post them here and on tara .com
what could they do to me that they have not already done .
big plus i am no longer in country and back on a boat via sat system trty to send some after me
with a 75 mile radar and a few arms with a range of 1.200 and 600 meters i can and will protect my
wife and boat , there will be no repet of the roamdeep with out a bunch of bodie bags getting full

Good suggestion to go for blogging.In fact Mr.Pinto can write in Portuguese,so that non English speaking Brazilians can express their thoughts in our language and you all can comment in English.On second thoughts, this web site can take the lead by publishing an article on this issue in Portuguese from Pinto or Osava and invite comments.

I am all in favor of freedom of press and alternative media.

Well said Allen,it is not restricted only to Brazil,but also in many other countries including yours. I have kept on stressing that the Internet journalism does provide an opportunity for the people of the world to access INFORMATION and exchange knowledge. Who knows in 5 years time, we may be able to stop a war ordemand justice for all. Thinking about it,when I was a kid, I used to access news through Shortwave Radios.It was fun and even the poor blokes could access it.

Except that Shortwave Radios,TVs ,etc; are not interactive and provide one way news. On the contrary, the Internet journalism is a two way street!

With a new boat and armed to the teeth! 600 meters my friend, why that might just be an AK or M16 or some pop gun like that, but 1600 meters?? That is impressive. What have you got there, Desert Eagle 50 caliber? If you want to keep your news boat, just don't be stupid enough to make port in Brazil, if you do, your going to get it again. Keep the Loran on 24 / 7, don't let the bastards sneak up on you.

What a life you do lead Skipper, you, your wife all on your tub. I hope you get to take a shower once in awhile.

50 cal simi rifel with scope

FURNO 75 mile and all the other toys .

yes wife and dogs with me just comming out of the st larence sea way tons of rain here but looking foward to the grate lakes and taking fatima to see fatima opra show
then down the old miss and back to salt water , to cuba , cancun , points south , to trinada , should take about a year to get the devels island , then across to the med

and spain then tour ???? flip a coin and go

but am looking in to seting up a web news site for amatuer press for all countries , will host out of holand , and it will be freeto post all you need is to not lye just facts you can back up with facts for it to work for all people

the except we will do the

WHO , WHEN , WHERE , WHY , HOW

the only true thing an honest man can do is not stop evil when he can

You are a true pirate, you must tell me how you aquired the M249, your boat is as wide as mine is long! You should absolutley set up a website, host it from where ever but do it! I wish you calm seas and balmy days, watch your back and enjoy what you have left. You are a real life Jimmy Buffet song.

but am looking in to seting up a web news site for amatuer press for all countries , will host out of holand

s**t, Admiral. That is a splendid idea. Can I give you some sugesstions about which country to set up a web news site for a lower cost? I am good at it. GTY could be of great help too,now that he is moving to CA.

Sorry Admiral, I didnt quite catch up with you. Are you in St.Lawrence bay in Canada,right now and exploring the great lakes? Give us a clue. I hope Fatima is taking good care of ya

in Fatimas case if curiosity killed the cat
then satisfaction brought it back.

As far as my long guns i have friends in low places ,
go to Haiti , Nicaragua , northern Columbia , you can get just about any thing you want .
now if you go to Yemen i can show you where to buy a MK 19  or RPG i myself prefer the Carl Gustav ,

am looking at a web site some place as on the boat we only have a Tera bite on hand to store pic and videos , am trying to see if i can get net flicks all over the world over the web from any where

coming out of the ST Lawrence sea way and going to the grate lakes .
don't know if there is more water under my boat or falling from the sky

I would take the A4 over the Carl Gustav, a MK19 would defenitly ward of any more Brazilian who had thought of ill will. Sounds like lots of rain up there, but is my understanding the the Great Lakes need it.

First the commander says his big gun has a range of 1200m which Gty inflates the truth of to 1600m (after Gty on another thread tacitly brags that his wife finds his gun most important and possibly adores enough to share with her friends). Then Gty shows even more envy when he learns forrests boate is apparently much bigger than his - has more girth than his has length (which you know what the weemous say to this). Anyway, enough with the squirrelishness.

Congratulations on the change in professional challenges Gty. You may have to switch to other than Brazillian illegal labor to maintain the new pool, yard and other domestic necessities there in northern Cal.

forrest, be sure to keep us informed of your progression - best if you have someonel do the intel and coord work when you're about to pass into L Michigan - I understand there's alot of live fire training ops in certain sections - wouldn't want any freindly incidences occurring. Also, if you could keep us up on a rough schedule projection it would be nice. Grand idea to perhaps sign on for the leg from the canal / old muddy juncture to the first salt water port stop - if timing were right, I'd bring along someone special who catches, cleans and cooks the fish, loves to play cards and speaks your wifes native language!

Don't anyone doubt for a second that JDS can help you out on the web issues / economics. Does relocating the site base temporarily to another locale every so often (as suggested by apparent time zone jumps in the post time delta) help you avoid some fees or taxes that would otherwise be imposed?

if timing were right, I'd bring along someone special who catches, cleans and cooks the fish, loves to play cards and speaks your wifes native language!

You putting the make on that Sansei again?

I have a friend that host the Atlantic free press,
and am going to see if we can host off his web site and he do the maintenance and hosting for a little of nothing , post from all countries could be set up by flags to expose all the
governmental screwing we all seam to be taking thees days .

it is time for a new revolutions

look at china every few hundred years they just kill off all the ones in charge and start all over again and are still a country , and have been one for 3000 years or so .

but the most important part would be the telling of the truth in English and in the native language , real time post , facts , names , amounts , all that were involved , be nice to have pic of the persons that did it , and what they took .

don't need any more types


as far as fatima and i we are just going to take our time and let her see what the world is like outside of brasil
for a while and ever so often she will write a report to the brasil .com or some other net based news that gives
service to all

Thanks...no need to worry though, we are taking our current Brazilian housekeeper with us, she will have her Green Card shortly, we sponsored her. We have already made an offer on a 5 bedroom, 4 bath home in Pleasanton. I will need some landscapers, pool cleaner and car washer. Guess I'll have to go with Mexican's, cheaper tham Brazilians but not the same quality. I AM looking forward to FINALLY getting some good Mexican food. Gonna have to switch from Sailfish and Dolphin to Salmon and Halibut...but life is full of hard choices.

* fill in the color or other descriptor of your choice managed by an independant unbiased authority (with confidentiality rights guaranteed of course). Might be better to devise some kind of scheme for this vs using a national flag symbol as FAB suggests.

No JDS, the one of which I spoke is not the sansei. (Don't know why but the concept of a snuff video popped into my head just a moment ago on contemplating that one). Don't think she's ever been called on to prepared cuisine de Mexico so offering her services to Gty is out although she preferred California over Florida. On top of her specialties I've at least seen if not consumed her creations from many other parts of the world - cozenheira extraordinaria. Muito deliciosa everytime except one spaggete de mar I recall - think she didn't like the morena gringa I had as my dining companion that night (who was served something else and just couldn't stop crooning on how delicious her meal was).

Gty, a bit more energy required than taking salmon and halibut and not without an element of danger as well but you might consider taking up abalone diving.

as long as i have been on the ocean i have never been without good food

GTY when you do the cross country drive as you should stop in fort worth texas look up the mexican inn started in 1936 grate texmex food and the chips and sausa just grate .

as far as fishing two words YELLOW TAILfast hitting 18 lbs get you a GPS watch and take a few trips on a head boat to cut out the guess work halubut need sand flats and lots of down time .
another reef fish is a sculpin dont get fined very toxic but clean white meat , dont killl the brite orange fish garibalding state fish calif

was using the country flag for country of storie not writer , i would have them send the storie to a different person and post it under a name like mark tawin ,

Pleasanton, hmm. It aint Bocca, but S.F. is just across the bay. Kids should be interested in all the museums and parks. Ahh Mexican food, been a while. Big Sur and Santa Cruz mountains. A lot of beauty in Northern California.

Have a safe trip. Your about 5 hours to Hawaii.

Be well, have a safe trip. Kindest regards, AES.

May be you should read the last line of the article----AGAIN !!!!!!!

This article appeared originally in the IPS website: www.ipsnews.net.

I appreciate all of your tips. Forest, I grew up in San Diego (after all I am half Mexican), I know the areas you speak of well, there is a Mexican place under the Coranado bridge where you had to wait in line for 1/2 hour to buy home made tacos and tamales. I am not a Tex Mex fan, but East LA and I am sure now Tustin have tons of great Mexican, since my new territory will include ALL of California (and Mexico), I will get to sample many local gems.

As far as fishing, well, I have caught a zillion yellowtail in my day, used to go down to Ensenada as a kid with my dad and load up, very nostolgic, also have been out many times for the Albacore and Yellowfin Tuna runs...but man, you have been around. Have eaten a Sculpin or two and it is too late to warn me about not being finned...been there, done that. I used to see the Garibaldi when we used to snorkel for Abalone around La Jolla back in the day.

AES, you are correct, maybe I can get in that Kona Marlin fishing, although I have caught a small blue and a couple of Stripes out of the Keys, I have yet to catch a REALLY big Marlin. As far a Abalone diving...is there still an open season? I know there used by be some diving around Montery, but I think the otters and commercial fisherman have put a damper on the diving and that water is friggen cold, not like free diving lobster over the Lauderdale reef. I am heading down to Rio next week and then Pernembuco for a short vacation, then it's off to California. Getting too old for this s**t.

or at least i will never br

good bill fishing in baja and sea of cortez as far as the abalone be your best guess

if you have some spare money you want to invest he would be a grate asset for a mexican food high end resturant in san fran

keep safe , take a coat , and suntan

Pleasanton is good for street rods. The symbol of the Paul Fonteles Institute is the hammer and sickle. They just can´t get over Fonteles.

Try to Move On.

Homage to Mr. Pinto, and thanks to Mr. Osava for telling his story.

The Personal Journal does not seem to take either a left or right wing position. It apparently presents specific facts rather arguing over outmoded ideological issues. Such an approach can lead to discussion, to compromise and progress.

Would liberal and conservative readers agree to the following?

The people who live in the Amazon region could benefit by environmentally friendly development of the resources there. Those who finance and provide the expertise for the development are not going to do it for free. In fact, all concerned will probably be willing to take as big a part of the pie as they can. So there is room for discussion and compromise. What Mr. Pinto’s Journal can do is provide information to promote informed discussion.

In questions of development, you have a three-cornered play of interests: one, the outside developer; two, the political and financial elite of the Amazon region; and three the ordinary citizens of that region.

The natural desire of the outside developer is to make as much profit as possible for the shareholders of his corporation. The ruling classes want to take as much as they can from outside developers. Ordinary citizen would like to see improvements in education, public services and facilities (e.g. hospitals, health care), and infrastructure. They would not refuse other benefits, such as better wages, cheaper energy, or even direct payments to themselves.

As each interest group tries to maximize its own gain, the groups with the greatest store of information, organization, and wealth are going to come out ahead in the bargaining.

With respect to information, which group is at a disadvantage? The ordinary law-abiding citizen is hustling to raise a family; he or she has little time for politics and economics. Thus the goal of Mr. Pinto’s Personal Journal seems reasonable: “to provide citizens the information they need to reach decisions and to fight the powerful in conditions of equality.”

Which group has the weakest organization? Ordinary citizens are supposed to be represented by government officials that they have elected. But if those officials have been bribed, how can the people speak and act with a unified voice?

The reader can decide for himself who has the advantages of wealth.

Conservatives whose hearts are in the right place could not oppose the just application of the law, to honest competition.

Liberals could not hope that the public receive an entirely free windfall just because they happen to live in the region. Developers have a right to a reasonable return on their investment of capital and expertise. Ordinary citizens must take the time to inform themselves about the issues of development. They have the responsibility to vote corrupt politicians out of office.

Perhaps the Personal Journal could convince the powerful that sitting down and discussing things with the other side would be better than killing them. This might be cheaper in the long run as well as more humane.

Thanks again to Mr. Pinto and Mr. Osava.
