Ricardo: Answering to your rants is a real waste of time, I am not sure if you are just a mental case or if you are part of the propaganda related to the global economic war that is underway.

There's a bigger chance that you are just a mental case, because your rants shows that you are completely out of touch with reality.

You should not skip your meds, or maybe you are just a moron.

Anyway, [b]after you take your meds[/b] and you can focus a little better then try to see if you are able to understand the subject of this video:

[b]Brazil's rising star – July 31, 2011 [/b]
[url]http://youtu.be/Uji8kK3x4VQ[/url]


Based on your postings on Brazzil magazine I don't have any expectation that you have enough intellect or brain cells left to be able to understand the subject of this video.

Give a try anyway!!!!!

[b]Ricardo:[/b] Joao, I posted the following on the Elite Trader Economics forum and in a matter of hours hundreds of people were watching that video and probably mentioning to their friends.

If people from other countries had an understanding of what has been going on in the US stock market then they would not invest even a penny on this rigged game.

But the fools from around the world continue to trust the US stock market and its criminal Wall Street houses such as “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” and they still sending their money to the safe haven (rigged game) of Wall Street.

The Brazilian government and the Brazilian mainstream media should start investigating anything that the criminals of “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” are doing in Brazil, any deals, and any company that still doing business with these crooks should be on the red flag alert.

The US government has been infiltrated and have been poisoned from the inside by former “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” in high government positions. 

This is a corporation that thinks that they are above the law and that it does not matter what they do regarding their criminal actions they know that the US government will not do anything against that organization – they know they have the US government in the bag.

They also know that they can gamble and lose tons of money and the US government would bail them out with tax payers money, because “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” it is to big to go to jail.

Joao, [b]“Goldman Sachs the Pillage People”[/b] have the [b]best law firms and PR firms at their disposal[/b] and they can use them at any time to fight against anyone who wants to bring criminal charges against these crooks. And don't forget [b]the professional criminals from “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” knows how to “wine and dine' their victims before they give them a good screw.[/b]

[b]Ricardo:[/b] I am sorry, I am powerless and I can't do anything about other than watch the Brazilian economy being sabotaged and resulting in an economic and financial meltdown just like Greece.

There is a [b]“Trojan Horse”[/b] in Brazil and the Brazilians are not aware about what is in store for them and how the saboteurs are going to set up the companies in Brazil and also government at all levels for a big fall. 

Buy any products from [b]“Goldman Sachs the Pillage People”[/b] or get any advise from these thieves and you can be sure that you are going to lose your shirt. If you are a large corporation and “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” gives you any advise about any type of hedge, swaps, or any other type of financial transaction then you can be sure that you are being set up for a fall.

How do you think “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” is able to make a ton of money on a constant basis when everybody else is having a very hard time and are barely able to get by?

Because they find fools like anybody who still doing business with “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” and they set up these suckers for a fall where “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” always manage to make money.

Most Brazilians are naïve and they don't understand that there's a major economic war going on, and the Pentagon and also major governments in Europe are playing economic and financial war games as described in the book “Currency Wars” and also on the following video:

***

Lawless Sociopath Financial Terrorist Bankers' War of Fraud : Max Keiser – November 19, 2011
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBQkZyI1aP4

...As Occupy Wall Street saw a massive day of action, people working on Wall Street actually got pink slips. It's reportedly the second week of major layoffs. Job cuts on Wall Street are supposed to be brutal coming up here with firms expected to shed 75,000 jobs according to CNN. Credit Suisse, Bank of America, JP Morgan, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, UBS all reportedly making cuts. So are we gonna see bankers start occupying Wall Street? 


***


I know that my fellow Brazilians can't connect the dots even to save their lives.

The Brazilian economy and financial system is under attack right now, and most Brazilian don't have a clue about what is going on. After “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” do their demolition job and shred into pieces the Brazilian economy and economic system – they are going to point the finger at the Brazilian businessmen and all kinds of Brazilian government officials and they are going to say how corrupt and incompetent the Brazilian system was and that is why the Brazilian economy became a pathetic example like Greece and like Argentina just a few years ago.

Brazilians think that their political and economic system is very corrupt, but Brazilians are going to learn a lesson – by the time “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” get through you guys then you will realize what world class pillaging, raping, and stealing everything in sight is all about. 

By the time “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” gets through with Brazil – Greece is going to look like a prosperous and well managed country when compared with the wreckage that “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” is going to leave behind in Brazil.

Any Brazilian from any corporation or from government at any level who does any business with “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” - you are a fool and you deserve to get screwed and lose all your money.

Many people lost all their money when they found out that they had invested money on Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme. The Bernie Madoff deal caught a lot of people by surprise, but that's not the case of doing business with “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” since they have a long track record of screwing people all over the world. 

[b]In a nutshell: 

If you still doing business with “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” then you must be corrupt and be involved in some kind of shady business with that organization, or you are an idiot or a moron.[/b]

[b]Ricardo:[/b] Eu ja venho falando isto a bastante tempo: qualquer Brasileiro que faca qualquer negocio com &quot;Goldman Sachs the Pillage People&quot; and their network of thieves - merece perder todo seu dinheiro porque voce e um trouxa e um idiota.

&quot;Goldman Sachs the Pillage People&quot; esta ai no Brasil para destabilizar as companias Brasileirase qualquer coisa relacionada ao governo em todos o niveis.

Esta e a quadrilha mais perigosa do mundo e estes ladroes roubam de todo mundo - se ja nao roubaram de voce e so questao de tempo.

Os Brasileiros que tiverem qualquer coisa a ver com esta quadrilha internacional merece perder todo o seu dinheiro.

Estou ligado a muitos politicos e jornalistas Brasileiros e nos comunicamos por varios canais.Espero que voces pelo menos tentem ajudar o Brasil a se defender dessa quadrilha internacional e ajude a expulsar do Brasil &quot;Goldman Sachs the Pillage People&quot; e sua network de ladroes.

Os banqueiros e homens de negocio que fizerem negocios com &quot;Goldman Sachs the Pillage People&quot; merecem perder todo seu dinheiro por que quem e burro pede a Deus que o mate e que o diabo o carregue.

Fazer negocios com &quot;Goldman Sachs the Pillage People&quot; e o mesmo que fazer negocio com Bernie Madoff - no caso de Bernie Madoff muita gente foi pega por surpresa, mas no caso de &quot;Goldman Sachs the Pillage People&quot; voce tem que ser um verdadeiro idiota para fazer negocio com aquela compania.

[b]Ricardo:[/b] Jim Rogers and I agree about what is in store for the US dollar and the global economy in the near future. 

I started paying more attention to Jim Rogers after Porter Stansberry mentioned our name on his video.

Then I realized that Jim Rogers and I think on the same wavelength.

			<description>Forget that the Shaw was heavily supported, forget that the Pakistanis ended up haveing to accept billions in wheat instead of the 2nd rung F-16 and related acquisitions that had been previously approved through the FMS.  Forget that Iraq ended up needing external help to keep from being overrun due to the Iranian onslaught and slaughter on their border.  The Israelis are not going to treat others as &quot;fly over&quot; states and there will be no &quot;flash in the pan&quot; nukeing regardless of who in the local area has them and what their near or far future regime changes are.

SouthAmerica: [b]The Truman Show[/b] is about a make believe world - the same type of world that Mark Levine live in, and it's obvious that Mark Levine is another fanatic member of the [b]&quot;Jewish Lobby&quot;[/b], and these poor people don't have the ability to recognize when the party is over.

Today all we can do is laugh about their delusional ideas, and play along with their bogeyman stories.

&quot;Israel is going to attack Iran...&quot;

Sure!!!!!

Hah, hah, hah....

Old joke:

Iran is about 6 months from acquiring nuclear weapons...

LOL


[b]Reminder:[/b]

The Jewish comedians can be very funny, and they just up dated a little the old Jewish Catskills Comedy Lines...

&quot;Israel is going to attack Iran...&quot;

Then all the Jewish comedians come out to do their usual comedy routines all over the US mainstream media.

As long as the old comedy act works, then why not bring it back for another rerun....


Hah, hah, hah....


The only problem is that they are probably [b]reaching the saturation point with their audience[/b] with this old material - and they need to refresh their comedy routine.

[b]Ricardo:[/b] The Financial Times (UK) the weekend edition November 12 and 13, 2011 published an article that was pure propaganda, and the kind of misinformation that you usually find on 3rd rate newspapers and not in a newspaper of the quality of the Financial Times.

On page number 3 they published an article: Israeli debate rages over Iran attack” by Tobias Buck.

And they had a picture of a missile and smoke coming out of this missile. And under the picture you can read: Smoke pours from a rocket during a simulated attack in Holon outside Tel Aviv. A UN report has highlighted concerns over Iran's nuclear plans.

The article wants to give the reader the perception that Holon has been attacked by an Iranian missile.

They are trying to replay that Pathetic scene from the first Gulf war when the people in Israel were all wearing gas masks to give the audience that were watching CNN live news the perception that Saddam Hussein was attacking Israel with chemical weapons.

Maybe in the next chapter of this comedy series the Israelis can replay live that same fiasco on CNN and the BBC news: they can replay that chemical weapons missile routine once again.

This comedy series to be continued with new materials including more silly commentaries and cheap propaganda.


**********


[b]November 15, 2011

SouthAmerica:[/b] Here is another episode of the hit TV comedy series “Israel is going to attack Iran...”

They actually need new material, since they keep replaying all the same old comedy routines over and over again.

I want to see that episode when the Israelis thought that they were being attacked with scud missiles carrying chemical weapons.

This is funny stuff....

Enjoy the show:


The make believe gas attack against Israel in the imaginary make believe world of the Israelis 
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OchIBPSXCk[/url]


Note: On the above episode Israel is being attack by missiles carrying chemical weapons. That was against the bogeyman called Iraq.

In the new version of this old TV comedy series Israel is supposed to be attacked by a new bogeyman: Iran and it's nuclear warheads.  


Here is more funny stuff regarding our TV comedy series please enjoy the show:

Israel is going to do what?

Hah, hah, hah.....


When I was watching this video every time Mark Levine spoke I was thinking this guy is a real  Jackass. But there are a lot people out there who think just like this poor guy.

[b]Ricardo:[/b] Here is a reality check for the United States and Israel as follows:


[b]November 10, 2011 
“Letter to Netanyahu: time is no longer on Israel’s side”
By Kishore Mahbubani
Financial Times (UK)[/b]

Friends of Israel unite! The time has come to send a common message: time is no longer on Israel’s side. Geopolitical forces are moving inexorably against it.

One cardinal mistake no small state should make is to put all its eggs into one basket, even a basket as strong as the US. Despite its huge influence, Israel cannot change the shifting geopolitical tides. America’s power has peaked: its economy will not shrink in absolute terms but it will shrink irresistibly in relative terms. This would have happened naturally but gradually. But the continuing economic crises in the US will hasten the decline in America’s influence. Shrinking budgets will cut defence and aid expenditures. A crippled economic giant with no rockets to launch its astronauts into outer space will lose its “mystique”. Countries will no longer hesitate to vote against American preferences.

This is what happened with the Unesco vote of October 31. The news agencies reported correctly that 107 countries voted in favour of admitting Palestine into Unesco and 14 countries voted against. What they failed to report is that these 107 countries represented 77.5 per cent of the world’s population; the 14 countries just 7.3 per cent. The American founding fathers called in the Declaration of Independence for “a decent respect to the opinions of mankind”. The American decision to suspend Unesco funding clearly showed no such decent respect. 

There can be no doubt where the opinion of “mankind” is headed on the Israel-Palestine issue. The world is exasperated with Israeli intransigence on the two-state solution. It is even more exasperated with the continuous increase in illegal Israeli settlements on the West Bank. Some European states voted with Israel but their citizens are clearly sympathizing more and more with the Palestinians. The world knows that while Americans and Europeans love to preach the virtue of speaking “truth to power”, they have displayed total cowardice on the Israel-Palestine issue. 

This cowardice now poses the greatest existential threat to Israel. Few friends of Israel dare tell it the inconvenient truth that time is no longer on Israel’s side. American power is declining relatively. Europe is becoming progressively irrelevant. Equally important, the power of the Islamic world has troughed. Now the relative influence of the Islamic world can only increase, despite the many challenges it faces. Turkey’s assertiveness, especially on the Israel-Palestine issue, is a sign of the new world order that is emerging.

The democratic revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia also end the era of pro-Israel dictators. Future leaders of these countries will have to reflect their populations’ sentiments. No future Egyptian government can impose sanctions on Hamas as Hosni Mubarak did. Pressure to speak out against Israel will grow. In Saudi Arabia, Prince Turki al-Faisal has warned that, “With most of the Arab world in upheaval, the ‘special relationship’ between Saudi Arabia and the US would increasingly be seen as toxic by the vast majority of Arabs and Muslims, who demand justice for the Palestinian people.”

The 5bn non-American and non-Muslim peoples of the world will have to make a clear choice: between supporting Israel (with lukewarm dividends at best from a declining America) or voting against Israel (buying insurance from a rising tide of anger in a more assertive and democratised Islamic world). Equally important, justice weighs in favour of giving the Palestinian people a right enjoyed by virtually every other people in the world: statehood.

Neither the US Congress nor Israeli nuclear weapons can protect Israel when the balance of geopolitical forces tips against it. And Israel could well trigger such a tipping point with any unilateral military strike against Iran. No one can predict the consequences when Israel becomes totally isolated from the global community. But it will not be a pretty picture. 

Hence, Israel’s friends should act quickly and send a short letter saying: “Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu, time is no longer on Israel’s side. Please work quickly to implement the two-state solution that President Bill Clinton proposed in January 2001.”

The late Israeli foreign minister Abba Eban once said: “The Palestinians never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity.” Sadly, the same may some day be said of the Israelis.

[b]Ricardo: [/b]Greece can repudiate its debt and default on 100 percent of its debt - and at the same time they can continue to be part of the euro.

After Greece default on its government debt, then Greece it would be in better shape financially in the coming years.

Merkel and the Germans are too smart to fall for the old strategy:

[quote]Ricardo: Ch.c must be going thru one of these periods when he spends time in Jail.

Remember he is a Swiss banker.[/quote]

I am not sure if the Swiss laws convict and send a banker to jail, Ricardo. But our bankers enjoy  &quot;immunity&quot; from minor as well as major &quot;infrações&quot;.&gt;:(

Never mind about ch.c. Here is a link for you to read :

I think our respected Herr.Dott is goading his &quot;Chancellor&quot; to declare an &quot;economic war&quot; on PIIGS.:o - João da Silva</description>
