What a great turn of events.
It's time for Brazil to legalize corruption!
Mar 03rd, 2016 - 12:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If not; the cases of scandals and the crisis originating from the corruptions will be never-ending; which holds the country at-halt and at ransom.
After all; the laws are made by the corrupt & the crooks; to protect their own interests! So officializing corruption is just around the corner!
”This may be the beginning of the end of the PT in Brazil, to paraphrase a famous British wartime leader.
Mar 03rd, 2016 - 02:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0PT will not only survive but also can keep growing in strength; as long as the vast majority prefers to remain divided, blind / ignorant, and brainwashed.
Mar 03rd, 2016 - 03:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is because of this simple reason PT came to power in the first place and thanks to the equally corrupt opposition, PT has been dominating the political scene for more than a decade.
So proof of corruption money in the fat cow's prez campaign of 2010 has surfaced, but cannot be used against her ? OK, just keep looking, the proof is out there somewhere....
Mar 03rd, 2016 - 04:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0All these attempts of investigations make exciting news but are ultimately it is just a farce and a waste of a lot of time and money. Watch the culprits escape one by one because of “insufficient evidence”. A few of them have already escaped!
Mar 03rd, 2016 - 05:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Brazil is looking more like Argentina all the time. And Argentina is looking more like Venezuela. And Venezuela is making Somalia look good.
Mar 03rd, 2016 - 05:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hi, Marti Llazo!
Mar 03rd, 2016 - 05:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Very good AND accurate comment! :)
They finally grabbed Lula. Dipshit Dilma will be next. I was thinking by the fall (my fall) but now I am thinking this summer or earlier.
Mar 04th, 2016 - 04:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Has this woman now been arrested.
Mar 04th, 2016 - 08:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No but the clock is ticking. We can use a political broom over here in the states.
Mar 04th, 2016 - 09:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is already too late to incriminate the politicians now, since in 2'015 the govt. first admitted - officially - that the economy and the political situation are in crisis! Besides, anyway the crucial evidence must have been destroyed a long time ago!
Mar 05th, 2016 - 01:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So now, is the time for Brazil to legalize corruption! If not; the cases of scandals / crisis originating from the corruptions will be Never-Ending and hold the country at-halt AND at ransom. After all; the laws are made by the corrupt/crooks; primarily to protect their own stolen-interests!
So officializing all the “Brazilian-Corruption” is more practical!
In any case, the the majority of the corrupt will ultimately escape scot-free due “insufficient evidence”. For example: Maluf, Collor & Co. are enjoying their loot, only due to the helplessness & ignorance of the population.
Some of the crooks already are free. Those who had to return their loot; did so by returning just a small fraction of it, as a symbolic gesture only.
Each one of the Govt. Owned Projects [supposed to be the “assets”] in reality are nothing but “liabilities” which are specifically created to increase the illegal-wealth of the corrupt at both the ends. Many of these Projects are lesser known & are launched abroad - far away from a close public scrutiny.
Legalizing corruption will:
- help to re-invest & re-circulate the loot in Brazil itself instead of stashing it in some secretive offshore company overseas.
- contribute towards greater monetary movement,
- creation of companies / jobs
- bring back some prosperity
In short; the Brazilians are “celebrating the event” too prematurely. According to Bloomberg: Recovery Eludes Brazil Economy After Biggest Dive in 25 Years:
