Brazzil

When the cats away the mice come out to play. I wonder if the Air traffic controllers went on strike tonight, shutting down air traffic countrywide to keep Lula from returning?

smugglers, traffickers, fraudelent document dealers, operating in Brazil TRAFFICKING IN HUMANS FOR A FEE., the criminal operation of smuggling persons ( brazilian nationals) or anyone with $10,000..,via Mexico, Guatamala, and on to the u.s. border... The lack of prosecution of these operations in Brazil...The #2 violater of U.S. Laws pertaining to Unlawful Presence,...Visa Overstayers,...Border crossers, fraudelent documents etc......

I believe that the announcement of the Haiti ethanol facility and the announcement by Senator Grassley earlier in the week that he was dropping attempts to close the 7% CBI / Cafta ethanol
importation loophole are both strong signs that real progress is being made despite the entrenched opposition from the U.S. agricultural lobby. Brasil has earned better trade terms and the U.S.
needs Brasilian ethanol because corn-based production really does not have much future. The deal seems to be the Brasil will fill the 7% loophole through efforts like the Haiti initiative and, at
that time, the punitive tariff against Brasilian ethanol exports will be revisited. U.S. production likely will top out at about time the current 54-cent tariff is up for renewal. And, if Brasil at that
time is showing economic as well as political progress it Haiti - a longstanding political sore point for the U.S. due to Haitian refugee issues - the planets in D.C. should be aligned for finally striking a
mutually beneficial deal on ethanol which hopefully will spur a rapid build-out of Brasilian agriculture and related industries.

.......Brazil would have the same arguments on their ethanol transposed to their Chinese textile import restriction !!!!!!
Why buy more expensive Brazilian clothes and not import more from China ???????
Same could said for cars made in Brazil from foreign manufacturers : why not close the Brazilian plants, have them built in China and then cars could be sold cheaper in BRAZIL....WITHOUT ANY IMPORT TAX ??????
Is this acceptable to....the cheating Brazilians ?

And if the USA import all their ethanol.....it could very well end up that GRAINS PRICES WILL COME BACK DOWN....TO A LEVEL.......UNACCEPTABLE....TO BRAZIL...WHO WILL
AGAIN.....COMPLAINT....AGAINST THE USA !!!!!

Because lets face it, should the USA import all their ethanol, they will for sure continue to subsidize their grains farmers. And that the high production with low prices will just raise.....their TOTAL SUBSDIZES !!!!!!!!

Whatever the outcome is, some Brazilian farmers and Brazilian exports will suffer one way or the other !!!!!! It happens that your grains production is around 120 millions tons for the time being. And you get far more jobs and money out of grains than out of ethanol !!!!!!

It is also funny that NO ONE is talking about the ethanol produced from Soyabeans....that Brazil and the USA have started to produce.
Why is Brazil developing such an industry if sugarcane is so much more profitable than ethanol from soyabeans.

By the way, few Brazilians, due to your ignorance, have yet realized that the USA is spending tons of money to develop the next eco-fuel far better than
your sugarcane ethanol : BUTANOL !!!!!!

Sugar prices already came down by 50 % in the last 12 months to 9,86 US cents per pound. It will be interesting to have the first 2007 results of your ethanol producers !!!!!
In my view....profits will come down substantially. Many new projects will be cancellled or delayed !


Ohhhhhh and if your ethanol and self sufficiency in oil is so much better, why is your gasoline/ethanol pump prices well over 50 %......MORE EXPENSIVE THAN IN THE USA ?????

Yesssssss......Brazil......you just put AUTOGOALS TO YOURSELVES !!!!!!!!!!

Brazilians Numbers Never Matches With Brazilians Explanations !!!!
Continue to be blind and continue to cheat.....YOURSELVES !!!!!

that if brazil wants to remove economic barriers in other countries (U.S.) in regards to their exports, they must be willing to do the same in return. That's only fair and logical. And brazilians should be all for this. As ch.c said above, prices on things such as cars, electronics, and hundreds, if not thousands of other items would literally be cut in half!

Just hooked up a FREE broadband connection! It works even in Brazil!!!!

Brazil needs to reduce the price of particular exports only if there is an alternative source for them at a 'cheaper' price. China needs raw material, Brazil should charge whatever the market will bare. Though China would eliminate thousands of Brazilian jobs and industries, they still would buy Brazilian raw material exports at whatever price, the world market dictates.

China has killed thousands of jobs in America. And though electronics, tennis shoes and clothes are cheap, what has been the cost to the quality of life of millions of Americans?

It has been a way of taming the Marxist Dragon. The Chinese are in process of focusing on the development of the Chinese economy rather than an export economy. For all intents and purposes China has been tamed to reason. Protectionism is a tightrope for each country to walk. BTW BUTONAL can be readily made from sugar cane.

aes : Do you believe in Brazil?

Thanks. I'm going to need a translator for most of it, but the first one is so hoplessly third world. It is like Uganda or Darpur. It is apparent anarchy. Civilization run amok. It is recrudescence 'beyond the pale'. To some extent it is similar to the race riots of the mid sixties in the U.S. whole cities were on fire, litterally burning. Watts was on fire for miles. Imagine a favela set on fire, burned to the ground. President Johnson 'declared war on poverty' sémt billions of dollars, though we now have a Black Supreme Court Justice, a Black Secretary of State, Black governors, Black senators, it cost billions of dollars to achieve this minimal level. It involved deficent spending to such a degree that inflation had reached interest rates of 20% took ten years under the Reagan administration to recover the value of the dollar. Interest rates came down to 6%. They put Blacks in the police, in positions of power and authority.

If Brazil does not get a handle on crime and criminality either through force or economic coercian it is most surely lost. There was a time in the U.S. when the education of every teenage boy of 18 years was made complete by serving in the army for two years, madatory conscription. The criminality and 'punkedness' was beat out of them. They were taught the difference between a man and an adolescent.

Criminality is criminality, it seems that Brazil needs to invest whatever monies it takes to create a police force that has the ability to prosecute the law. It is odd how when the 'private' off duty police were employed there was a reduction in criminality. There was a respect given. As one of the individuals said he was not afraid to shoot. These off duty police hired as guards were also not afraid to shoot, and did, with equal brutality. There is a war between crime and law. You have to pay for law, not the cheapest, but the most expensive. If the military is incapable of defending its citizenry then how can it be expected to protect the nation? Perhaps you need some 'advisors' so experts in the field. But it is truly madness, a brutal madness. A madness of indiference, revenge. So much to do so little time.
It takes money to make these things happen. To be trite if the economy is able to manifest itself, the rest will take care of itself. Without order there is no economy.
Thank you for the youtube references, they are appaling, beyond the pale. Its like a leper colony. The infection is obscene. The cure is defense, police, military on the ground, two year conscription working on infrstructure. Training by consequence in heavy machinery, engineering, asphalt laying, port reconstruction, dam building. You need 'a war on poverty' before poverty burns the cities of Brazil. It would be a shame. Multo obrigado for the education.

you are 10000000 % right !

And cheating and lying is a Brazilian specialty. After the Rio chaos, one of their tourism chief said : Rio is as safe as any large city in the world !!!!!!!

And when tourism stats showed a downward path, the government said it is due to Varig demises !!!!!!

And when the army went to Rio with great fanfare , it was only for the security during the Carnaval. The army is still there but unavailable for the city security : they are on training for the security of the July Pan American Games !!!!!!!

Simply stated : who really cares for the city security outside of International events that will be TV reproduced everywhere ????? NOOOOOOO .ONE.....OF COURSE !!!!

Laugh.....laugh....laugh
