    Any one else want to do the whole 'locking the stable door after the horse has bolted' thing?
    I can't be arsed.

    I doubt many PT supporters in Brazil will want to take the reigns on this either, too busy cleaning their noses from the trough, covering their arses, or for the vast millions... probably wondering why they never got their promised 'cut'.
    There lies the problem. All these so-called 'socialists' turn out to be the worst kind of capitalists.
    Is the PT/ Brazil / PETROBRAS just another 'Ponzi' scheme?

    Brazil is self sufficient in all that human reason can conceive. That's right and liquid. Brazil is becoming the only country free and able to change the world. Our peaceful vocation and our democratic structure envy of the great Western powers. We have the wisdom of nomadic Germanic tribes, the strength of black Africans and the knowledge of the Roman Empire.
    We are able to change destinations!
    It's not in our nature to military conquest. Conquer the world like a beautiful woman, transform our world as we raise our children.
    Let's move on!

    Brasileiro, there exist many, many people who have stolen vast funds from the Brasilian people,
    people who keep these funds in Brasil in real estate and in overseas banks,
    people who have dispersed these vast funds to all their extended families to make Brasil a split land - the land of the rich and the land of the poor.

    Ex-president Da Silva is one who has spread his vast wealth across his large extended family. He is no one of the greatest land-owners/stock-owners in this huge land.

    Presidenta Rousseff is one who presided over the transfer of vast amounts of money to the new-rich of P.T..
    This took place over decades and followed her years as an international terrorist.

    HAVE YOU NOTHING TO SAY, OTHER THAN 'WE MUST MOVE ON'?

    No, Brasileiro, we must imprison for life those who led this great nation through these years of trauma and banditry.
    Better still, we should show the whole nation that we are'moving on' ... by bringing these people the death penalty.

    Your Presidenta is lucky that the shout on the streets of Brasil did not swell to the sound of thunder, requiring her death.
    No, death should not be for the one, but for all who have raped your great country.

    @4 Geoff,
    Brasileiro's “Let's move on” is an implicit admission on his part that he recognizes the fact that the PT has well and truly screwed Brazil...but he is such a moron, incapabale of grasping the implications of all this corruption, or the damage it has and is still doing to Brazil, that one has to read his rubbish, taking into account that first, he is not very intelligent, two, he is ignorant, and three, he is a petista..

    Brazil can dream, but not the English. country of thieves who think they rule the world. English policy was inherited by the United States. using the force to intimidate and steal the wealth of others. If the world were a school. the United States would be the tough guy who steals lunch money of the weakest, but that this living on borrowed time.

    ahh! The usual 'victim' theory.
    So let's extrapolate your school boy theory. When will the 'nerd' grow up to become Bill Gates?
    Only in the USA, never in Brazil.
