De val van Rousseff en Lula: Brazilie is niet Venezuela

Een corrupte VS-puppet die de steun heeft van amper 3% van de Brazilianen.

Het eerste doel van deze mogelijk door de VS georchestreerde staatsgreep is de beschadiging van de BRICS-alliantie.

RT slaagt erin de feiten op een rijtje te zetten. CNN, BBC, VRT, ZDF en dergelijke zijn bewust clueless natuurlijk. Westers publiek hoeft dit niet te weten.

Regime change in Latin America: Why Russia is concerned?
https://www.rt.com/op-edge/343439-di...brazil-russia/

A Russian diplomatic call to outlaw the US-sponsored policy of “regime change” is timelier than ever following recent events in Latin America.

The developments there are now routinely described as ‘institutional’ coups d’état, with popular presidents removed from power and replaced by neoliberal functionaries, enjoying almost unhidden support of the US government and American financial capital.

“What we see in the world now is an attempt by the so-called historic West to preserve its dominance in international affairs,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said at a conference on Latin American development, held in Moscow. “Latin America is not an exception to this global trend. We see attempts by the United States to interfere directly into the internal affairs of some countries in the region… Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela are just the most recent examples.”

Last week, Brazil’s leftist President Dilma Rousseff was removed from power by a very unpopular group of senators, despite having the votes of 54 million citizens, who expressed their will a year and a half ago. Rousseff was removed because of accusations of corruption. However, even the mainstream media in the United States did not consider these accusations to be well founded.

The New York Times, on the eve of Rousseff’s ousting, called accusations against her “debatable” and added that “Ms. Rousseff is right to question the motives and moral authority of the politicians who were seeking to oust her.”

In 2014-2015, a similar campaign of personal attacks and ‘character assassination’ took place in Argentina against that country’s leftist president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.

In both cases, the US-preferred candidates somehow managed to get to power posing as the only viable alternatives to the ousted women leaders.
In Brazil, the former vice-president Michel Temer took the reins of power without elections. Mr. Temer, whose popularity in Brazil is in single digits, has already started what RT’s expert on Latin America Juan Manuel Karg called a “realignment” of Brazil’s foreign policy. That “realignment” is supposed “to move Brazil closer to the United States and to the EU with or without Mercosur” (a bloc integrating the markets and economies of Latin American countries).

“It is worth noting that the foreign policy program of Temer’s party PMDB from 2015 does not even mention BRICS – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – an important bloc of countries which Brazil played an important role in founding in 2009,” Juan Manuel Karg writes on RT’s Spanish page.

Ondertussen storten Maduro en Venezuela zich ook te pletter.

Zeer jammer. Chavez zou dit niet graag gezien hebben. Maduro blijkt een big fail te zijn, Chavez draait zich om in zijn graf.

Pepe Mujica bikkelhard voor Maduro.

In de woorden van Rousseff zelf (vertaald):

I think it’s an impeachment process, to remove me from the office. Our Constitution provides for an impeachment, but only if the President commits a crime against the Constitution and human rights. We believe that it’s a coup, because no such crime has been committed. They put me on trial for additional loans [from state banks]. Every president before me has done it, and it has never been a crime. It won’t become a crime now. There is no basis for considering it a crime. A crime has to be legally defined. So we believe this impeachment is a coup, because it’s clearly stated in the Constitution that only a crime of malversation can serve as basis for impeachment. The actions currently under scrutiny do not, strictly speaking, fall under that category. Besides, Brazil is a presidential republic. You can’t remove a president or a prime minister who hasn’t committed a crime. We’re not a parliamentary republic, where a president can dissolve the congress, which, in turn, can call for a vote of no confidence out of purely political reasons. So it’s impossible to impeach a president in Brazil based solely on political reasons or political distrust. We believe that what’s happening now in Brazil is an attempt to replace an innocent president involved in no corruption-related legal proceedings in order for the politicians that lost the 2014 election to control the state bypassing the new election. That’s what’s happening. This is an attempt to replace the entire political program that includes both the social and economic development aspects and is aimed at tackling the crisis that Brazil has been going through in recent years with a program clearly neoliberal in nature. This program provides for minimizing our social programs in accordance with the minimal state doctrine. This doctrine is at odds with all the Brazilian legal norms regarding healthcare, construction and ensuring that our people have their own houses, availability of high-quality education and minimum wages guaranteed to the poorest part of the Brazilian population. They want to do away with these rights and at the same time they conduct an anti-national policy, for example, when it comes to Brazil’s oil resources. Significant subsalt oil reserves, lying 7,000 m below the surface, were discovered recently. The ministers were saying that exploring these reserves was impossible, but now we’re extracting a million barrels daily from subsalt oil reserves. Undoubtedly, they were saying that thinking to change the legislation in order to guarantee access to these reserves to international companies. Moreover, in terms of foreign policy, starting from Lula da Silva and throughout my presidency, we have been seeking to strengthen ties with Latin American, African, BRICS countries and other developing nations, in addition to the developed world – the US and Europe. I think that BRICS is one of the most important multilateral groups created in the last decade. But the interim government holds different views on BRICS and the importance we place on Latin America. They are even discussing the possibility of closing embassies in some African countries. We have very special relations with Africa. Brazil is the country with the highest percentage of population of African descent in the world, second only to African countries. We have a lot of people of African descent, so over the last few years we’ve been putting particular emphasis on our relations with the African countries, and not only Portuguese-speaking ones. This shows a wider approach to the world, as opposed to the traditional one, supported by those who have usurped the power now and are taking steps that are at odds with the program approved by the Brazilian people, by 54 mln votes, on the day I was elected.

Lijkt me duidelijk. En niet zonder reden vermeldt Dilma BRICS en de subsalt oil reserves. We weten voor wie die twee zaken van primordiaal belang zijn.

Venezuela wordt onleefbaar duur voor de burger.

Venezuela, where a hamburger is officially $170
https://www.yahoo.com/news/venezuela...11.html?ref=gs

Caracas (AFP) - If a visitor to Venezuela is unfortunate enough to pay for anything with a foreign credit card, the eye-watering cost might suggest they were in a city pricier than Tokyo or Zurich.

A hamburger sold for 1,700 Venezuelan bolivares is $170, or a 69,000-bolivar hotel room is $6,900 a night, based on the official rate of 10 bolivares for $1.

But of course no merchant is pricing at the official rate imposed under currency controls. It's the black market rate of 1,000 bolivares per dollar that's applied.

But for Venezuelans paid in hyperinflation-hit bolivares, and living in an economy relying on mostly imported goods or raw materials, conditions are unthinkably expensive.

Even for the middle class, most of it sliding into poverty, hamburgers and hotels are out-of-reach excesses.

"Everybody is knocked low," Michael Leal, a 34-year-old manager of an eyewear store in Caracas, told AFP. "We can't breathe."

There Has Been A Coup In Brazil — Paul Craig Roberts
http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2016...craig-roberts/

In Brazil the country’s largest newspaper has published a transcript of a secret recording leaked to the newspaper. The words recorded are the plot by the rich Brazilian elite, involving both the US-corrupted Brazilian military and Supreme Court, to remove the democratically elected president of Brazil under false charges in order to stop the investigations of the corrupt elites who inhabit Brazil’s senate and bring to an end Brazil’s membership in BRICS. The Russian-Chinese attempt to organize an economic bloc independent of Washington has now lost 20% of its membership.

Democracy has been overthrown in Brazil as in Ukraine, Honduras—indeed, everywhere the dirty evil hand of Washington falls, including the US itself.

Glenn Greenwald reports on the extraordinary leak of the 75-minute recording of the conversations between Brazilian elites laying out the plot to frame the President of Brazil in order to protect themselves. https://theintercept.com/2016/05/23/...l-this-a-coup/

The Government of President Dilma Rousseff was dealing with the corrupt Brazilian elite in a legal, not a revolutionary, way. This was a strategic error, as neither the Brazilian elites nor their backers in Washington care a hoot about legality. For them power is the only effective force.

They used their power to remove Rousseff from the presidency, demonstrating to Brazilians that their votes are powerless to determine the government.

The world has seen this so many times. That is why the French Revolution, Marx, Lenin, and Pol Pot concluded that change was impossible unless the elites were exterminated.

In Latin America the populist governments that managed against all odds to be elected bind their own hands by extending the protection of the rule of law to their bitter domestic enemies, who take advantage of the protection afforded them to use their power to overthrow the elected government.

It will ever be so. Without a Lenin, there will be no change in Latin America or anywhere in the corrupt and elite-controlled Western world. In the Western world voting is a waste of time. The election hype is nothing but cover for elite control. Electorates, always hopeful, never catch on.

Van mij part mag Bouterse ook zijn biezen pakken; de drugsdealer !

De oppositie en bevolking vecht om een IMF lening tegen te houden. Bauta wil deze kost wat het kost er door douwen. De buurlanden Guyana en Frans Guyana hebben geen last van crisis. Dus waarom Suriname wel ?! Juist wanbestuur !!

Bauta vond het afgelopen paar jaar geweldig om aan te schuiven bij Maduro en Rousseff.

Vorig jaar waren er in Suriname gratis schoolmaaltijden; Venezuela was het voorbeeld voor Bauta. Nu is Suriname sinds bijna een jaar in een keiharde crisis terechtgekomen. De cadeautjes van gratis maaltijden en schoolgelden, etc zijn en worden aankomend jaar geschrapt. De ene na de andere Chinese winkelier sluiten hun deuren en vertrekken berooid naar China. Mensen leven op kale rijst. Geld is in een half jaar tijd 40% ontwaard, lonen zijn niet gestegen !


Betreft Brazilie denk ik dat het land simpelweg te groot is. Dit brengt bureaucratie met zich mee en bijbehorende profiteurs (zie huidig EU). Het land zou in 3 of 4 landen moeten worden opgedeeld. Ik leef iig met de Brazilianen mee die gebukt gaan onder criminaliteit en een corrupte elite (links en rechts), zich rot betalen aan belastingen en er weing voor terugkrijgen. Voorts denk ik dat het eerste probleem in Latijns Amerika structueel denken is. Enkel Chili is een uitzondering vanwege de grote groep Duitse immigranten die qua mentaliteit Duits gebleven zijn, itt Duitsers in Brazilie.

Verschillende ministers in de Temer regering worden verdacht van fraude (car wash) en het willen hinderen van het onderzoek ernaar. Het is zelfs zo erg dat de minister van fraudebestrijding nu zelf betrapt is te zeggen via een audio-opname het onderzoek te willen boycotten. Nu dat niet meer kon ontkend worden is hij opgestapt, waarschijnlijk om vervangen te worden door iemand met gelijkaardige snode bedoelingen. Dit is steeds duidelijker de coup VAN de corrupten tegen degenen die de zaak wilden uitspitten. Maar het is ook de coup van de anti BRICS neoliberalen en dat vinden Europa en de VS geweldig.
