Brazil's Indian Warriors Gather to Keep Amazon Waters Flowing Free PDF Print E-mail
2008 - July 2008

Brazil Kayapo's war dance For five days in May, hundreds of tribal people from the far reaches of the Amazon Basin came together to protest plans for huge dams on the Xingu River, the largest tributary of the Amazon. It was like being at a United Nations of indigenous peoples. Representatives from the Kayapó, Parakanã, Assurini and other indigenous groups arrived ceremonially dressed with genipapo (black) and urucum (red) bodypaint, and feather adornments. Some traveled as far as 1,000 miles to attend the meeting.

I would get Gringo's head (the 1/2 Gringo from Canada), shrink it, and sell it as a paper-weight.

Ouch...

I am sure you will be looked at by the Brasilian Feds to find out your intentions, purpose and reason for being in Brasil.

We are about to tight restrictions on foreigners such as you and your NGOs; you all have had an invited stay and free ride for too long.

Can't wait to say.... So Long, Bon Voyage!

Your "We are about to tight restrictions on foreigners such as you and your NGOs; you all have had an invited stay and free ride for too long. "

And America and Europe are going to send you back the millions of illegals staying in our countries.
We will send them back.....in empty ships that were used to ship cattles in our countries...or in empty containers who had frozen chicken. And we will make sure they will be as tigthly packed as you packed the animals.
Better yet, we will charge you for the shipping costs.

Have you not seen the recent UK warning for Brazilians that may start
in 2009 ?????
You should...especially for the reasons stated !!!!!!!!

I just refresh to your non existent memory that NOOOOOO americans or europeans enter Brazil illegally.
And by the same occasion that millions and millions of Brazilians enter our countries illegally and are even ready to pay around US$ 10'000.- to exit your apparent paradise country to enter our hell !!!

Sad facts and truth about the reality of your UNDER DEVELOPMENT...wether you like or not !!!!

But the day you refuse legal foreigners.......just think what will happen to your incoming FDI ?????
They will dry more than what you think.
When on the other hand, America and the EU should not worry for their incoming FDI from Brazil ! There are none anyway !!!

Prove me wrong....if you can !!!!!
If I was a Brasilian Native Indian.....
written by ch.c., July 17, 2008
I will first send back to where they came from....the Brazilians NON native Indians... !!!! Those who killed us....by the tens of thousands over the decades and took OUR land !!!!

I will start with the tranny Costa/Costinha then with Bin the Crook, followed by ALL the Non Indians Natives politicians and government members !

They are the one responsible of all our problems.....not the foreigners or foreign NGO's taking our side....by definition !!!!!

You are an idiot... by definition.

Let's see:

And America and Europe are going to send you back the millions of illegals staying in our countries.


Hahaha! Taste of your own poison. Americans and Europeans profit by explitoing them. Greed will be your ruin. NEVER they will get rid of illegals. Those illegals perform a function in the economy, you like it or not. If they didn't have jobs then they wouldn't risk staying there to begin with.

It's a simple matter of demand and offer.

But the day you refuse legal foreigners.......just think what will happen to your incoming FDI ?????


We do refuse legal foreigners and I have known of couple of cases where they couldn't get visas.

Ch.c, your NGO ass is about to kicked from Brazil. Finally the government took action against you. Hahahaha!

Excellent article. It makes me sick how greedy people are in the world. These natives are the exception. They are the only ones with a way of living that is truly sustainable. We don't know the meaning of the word.

Costinha, you are so f**king ignorant ... wow!

" Taste of your own poison" & "Americans and Europeans profit by explitoing them"
written by ch.c., July 18, 2008
1) the poison is yours. That is why many preferred to PAY and be smuggled ILLEGALLY in developed countries.....to my knowledge !

2) Why dont you ask these illegals why they left their Tropical Mud....if it was paradise ????

And to ALL idiots : funny how we exploit the illegals. Most can finally afford what they could not afford in their s**tty countries.
In my country, maids are paid US$ 25- NET....PER HOUR ! Tax free...of course !
Tey even can buy decent clothes, have decent food, buy many techno gadgets such as PCs or mobile phones costing cheaper than in your own countries.
Better yet.....many can purchase a car, send money back to their family, find a decently paid job, get respect, and have suffiocient money to travel in more than one country.

Of course...they could not afford all this....while in their Tropical Mud !
And finally many of these "apparent" exploited workers can build a nice house in their own country. That was not possible when in their MUD

If that is exploitation....why dont you treat your sugarcane workers, legals or not, your charcoal workers and maids....AS WELL AS WE DO ????
Because they cant afford the above stated lifestyle....to my knowledge.

And worse yet......many came from a Brazilian slum, called.....FAVELAS !!!!

Funny too that the money sent by these workers....are not offered when, illegals or not, FOREIGN workers are in Brazil !!!!


Yessss...Brazil is a shame to humanity and dignity.
Proof is that you have one of the World WORST ranking for social inequity !!!!

I really wish that a few of the Brazilian junkies proves me wrong....if they can !!!

Because your disagreements to my arguments...NEVER HAVE A FACTUAL COUNTER ARGUMENT !!!!!

This also proves that many of you dont even have a feijado....in YOUR brains !!!!
Normal.....this is NOT included in your very bad education.
Yesssss....Brazilian education has been ranked 46th out of 50 in one test and 34th out of 34 in another test.
Both tests made by Brazilians !!!!
Be proud.....Brazil.....of your education rankings...made by yourselves !!!!
Because if these tests will have been made by a developed country, Brazil will not even be ranked !

laugh....laugh....laugh....laugh....laugh....laugh....laugh....laugh....laugh....laugh....laugh....laugh....laugh and LAUGHS ENDLESSLY !!!!
Fuirthermore to ...A Brazilian !

Your "Those illegals perform a function in the economy, you like it or not."

Funny...the same could be said for your corrupted politicians !!!!!

and your "If they didn't have jobs then they wouldn't risk staying there to begin with."

Sorry idiot...many DONT HAVE A JOB....wether you like or not. They try to be
at the cost of our governments....since YOUR government let them down !!!!
And guess what : they are still here.
Meaning your arguments are baseless and worthless !!!

And sorry again...idiot a Brazilian : entering illegally a country is NOT....by definition...... a matter of demand and offer.
IT IS A MATTER OF ....YOUR DEMAND....NOT OURS !
Because if it was the other way around...as YOU pretend....we will let them enter...LEGALLY AND PROVIDE THEM WITH A WORK PERMIT....by definition.

Ohhhh dear idiot A Brazilian : your country is in an economic boom ! Isnt it ????? Why then not allow illegals citizens from Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Peru, just to name a few....ENTER LEGALLY.....IN BRAZIL AND YOU PROVIDE THEM WITH A DECENTLY PAID JOB ??????

Or why dont you chose to work in China, India or Russia....also in an economic boom ?????
Are you not a BRIC member ????

Then why are you complaining about them anyways? Good luck with them! smilies/smiley.gif

Anyway, this what you have talked about is pure fairy tale. The real story of the people that go illegally either in the US or in Europe is very different. They receive less wages than a normal worker would, sometimes are enslaved as it is in the case of many women in the hands of human traffickers and so on.

Some can send money back home, but their lives is far from luxurious. They divide small apartments with other five or six in order to save money. They don't travel around and do tourism, to save money. They work many hours, sometimes 12, to save money. And so on.

Only those who never lived abroad have such illusions about foreign countries. The reality is that people in the US and Europe are full of debts for paying for their houses, cars, etc. Nothing is easy anywhere.

Ch.c, you are a liar... by definition!!!

many DONT HAVE A JOB....wether you like or not. They try to be

Hahaha. Tell another one...

laugh... laugh... laugh

You are funny, ch.c. There are no limits for your stupidity. But don't worry, you and your friends are about to kicked off Brazil.

Now everybody together! Laugh... laugh... laugh...

Brazil will be a better place without you.

Your businesses are profiting by employing illegals. Smaller wage, no working rights, people willing to work many hours for sending money back home, etc.

Can you see the irony? Your own countrymen are selling your country out!

Laugh... laugh... laugh. What goes around comes around.
See from where it starts

and I'll bet you've never been there which explains why you haven't clue dipstick.

"Some can send money back home, but their lives is far from luxurious. They divide small apartments with other five or six in order to save money. They don't travel around and do tourism, to save money. They work many hours, sometimes 12, to save money. And so on."

The situation they started from:

There is no money at home and their lives aren't alot more than just surviving day to day. They divide small apartments with other five or six in order to have a roof over their head when it rains. They don't travel around and do tourism, they have no money but they'll do a tourist if they get a chance. If they work at all it's for many hours, sometimes 12, just to have food for that day. And so on.

Where do those s**theads come from!? I have met some people that did it. THEY TOLD ME HOW IT IS. Why do you delude yourselves?

Their lives are not luxurious at all, and some even said that it is not worth it. They make small wages and live with the bare minimum with many "colleagues" BECAUSE if they spent in luxury they wouldn't have what to send back home.

The situation is even worse with the cheap dollar.

The kind of immigrant that spends money in actually building a life that goes beyond the bare minimum is of a completely different kind. And they go with the intention of staying there permanently and don't need to send any money back.

WTF! Many of those illegal f**ks can't even speak English!
Fala Ingles a b?

Again, I think you have not even begun to meet and understand the majority of your own countrymen in our beloved Brasil. Focus at home first. Yes the US dollar is crap (just like the Canadian one used to be). Those that lived there have lost much, nothing left to send back home to FAMILY but at least when they had to fold up shop they could go to the US. It appears that the weight being given to the cultural significance of family ties in Brasil vs here / there / elsewhere is waning as well. Even EUA is rejecting non-immigrant visas to those that have nothing more to show for thier "strong" ties to thier county of origin regardless of what financial sponsors / family they have there. Brasil will catch on and show reciprocity no doubt.
