Guys,
I would like to share with you.
This day, in 1822, Brazil became independent of Portugal, but would only become a republic in Nov 15, 1889.
For the history, wikipedia has more details that I was ever taught http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_Independence
All this is to call your attention to the current political trends in Latin America, and the threat that it may pose to the US and the rest of the free world.
While I may sound apocalyptic, I am not fond of tinfoil hats.
Since the 1990, an entitiy called the 'Foro de São Paulo' (São Paulo Forum) has been active with the intent of strenghtening the left.
That movement, which wasn't reported by the media until last year, has widely suceeded on its mission of "regaining in Latin America what has been lost in Europe (and Africa).
Just see how many of current South American leaders sport some kind of leftist ideals, albeit moderate looking.
Look at the the consequences. The Drug War in Colombia pushed the FARC towards brazilian borders and jungles. The 9 years of the Workers party and previous 8 under Social Democrats had only weakened and starved our armed forces. Crime rates have only climbed since the 1980s, and are close to 50 thousand violent deaths each year (not counting traffic accidents).
Drug trafficking is rampant throughout the country, with nasty stuff such as crack cocaine, oxi-cocaine being most prevalent among the poor and homeless. As you probably imagine, the drug money goes to weapons, bribery....
The main gangs here are close associates with the FARC and some ties to Al-Qaeda were found, IIRC, even with the ETA and IRA.
An acquaitance, who is a ballistics expert with some state police shown us photos and video of a captured Barret (IIRC was an M95). According to him, intelligence was that 10 of them were smuggled in country.
So, I kid you not, there is one large criminal state forming. Some people believe that the goal is to form a soviet-type state. We are going in that direction at a great pace.
Brazilians are almost all disarmed and government is going great lengths to disarm the remainder, either by denying the required authorizations, or by making it prohibitively expensive.
The workers party is wanting to pass some law of "Social control of the Media" - Censorship. Current president Dilma is resisting, mildly. She is only a puppet. She was a bank robber in the 60s/70s, associated with some of the most vicious organizations of that time.
The current government gave harbor to a convicted italian terrorist, and refused to extradite him, breaking a treaty with Italy. Cesare Battisti is now a legal citizen of Brazil.
So, pray for us, and maybe drop some ordinance here, too.
