 It is estimated that
there are still at least 25 thousand people working
under slave conditions in Brazil. Workers are recruited in the
country's poorest areas and are taken to work in distant rural
properties. They often are unable to free themselves from debt to
leave. Besides, there are armed thugs to prevent workers from fleeing.

 A Brazilian government
operation in the Amazon, in three weeks,
has confiscated 1,500 cubic meters of lumber, 2,000 liters of
fuel, 40 power saws, 2 tractors and one truck. The effort
coordinated by Brazil's Environmental Protection Institute
should reduce deforestation in the operation's area by 60 percent.

 For sure, Brazil's
government would take pleasure in installing its
own peculiar form of dictatorship. Marxism has always run in the
veins of the Workers' Party. It's in the DNA. Not by chance, every
so often, ghostwriters for President Lula, the Supreme Ignoramus,
find room to insert a Stalinist author amidst his fastidious speeches.

 Brazilians who own
unregistered weapons must turn them in
or register them by December 23. Brazil's Disarmament Statute
determines that illegal bearing of weapons is a crime without bail.
The country is now promoting a disarmament campaign. In one
month, more than 50,000 guns have been surrendered to police.
