Brazil Wants Dilma And Lula Behind Bars

 Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo saw the largest protests in the country.

Thousands of people protested Sunday against Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and the Workers Party (PT) in at least nine states and the capital, Brasilia, in events organized by groups advocating the removal or resignation of the president and/or a military intervention.

They were numerous posters and banners with the slogan “Get out Dilma” and “Get out PT” among the thousands of protestors who gathered in large numbers all over the nation.

As it occurred in the previous two marches held since January, after Rousseff started her second term, organized groups propose explicitly military action as a solution for the current political and economic crisis that is shaking the Rousseff government, who according to recent polls, has seen her popular support slip down to only eight percent of the electorate.

3 Reasons Why The ‘Greek Debt Deal’ Is Really A German Trap

Greece is saved? All over the planet, news headlines are boldly proclaiming that a “deal” has been reached which will give Greece the money that it needs and keep it in the eurozone.

You see, the truth is that Greece desperately wants to stay in the euro, but Germany (and allies such as Finland) want Greece out.

Since Germany can’t simply order Greece to leave the euro, they need some sort of legal framework which will make it possible, and that is what this new “deal” provides.

Venezuela To Nationalize All Food Distribution, Increase Public Wages 30%

To combat food shortages caused by socialist policies including nationalization of half the nation’s food supply, Venezuela to Nationalize All Food Distribution.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has promised to nationalize food distribution in the South American nation beset with record shortages of basic goods, runaway inflation and an escalating economic crisis.

During a rally on Friday, on International Workers’ Day, the socialist leader allowed a union activist to ask for the nationalisation of food and essential-item distribution.

Various estimates suggest the government already controls about half of the country’s food distribution, but that hasn’t stopped record shortages in shops and markets.

Venezuela is struggling with a recession, 68.5% annual inflation and severe shortages of the basic goods that it relies on oil money to import.
