It appears the 'people' are growing more and more dissatisfied with their corrupt and greedy leaders across the world. As we noted recently, Brazil's economy is imploding, consumer sentiment is at record lows, and with the Petrobras scandal providing a glimpse at just how deep the corruption might go, Brazilians are revolting.
Hundreds of thousands are crowding the streets in several regional Brazilian capitals, dominated ironically by the middle and upper classes. Demands for "Dilma Out" and "Impeach Dilma" are also interspersed with calls for a quasi-coup and "military intervention."

Brazillian Media is calling the Petrobras Scandal “the biggest corruption scheme in world history”.
” Dozens of senior managers of Petrobras and other companies have been arrested during the months long criminal investigation dubbed “Operation Car Wash.”
Federal prosecutors accuse Petrobras’ former executives of bribery and money laundering. The investigators say the managers illegally “diverted” billions from Petrobras’ accounts for their activities.
More than 80 people have been charged in connection with the scandal. “

Maybe Putin will appear in Brazil and annex it.
Soon to be in the U.S. once The One is found to be colluding with ISIS and Muslim agents to overthrow our government and destroy our nation from within all intentionally.
Some are paying more attention, but this is Brasil.
They've been dancing this one note samba for nearly a century.
The Soros Cabal is hip deep in this, as well.
The same Soros that Obama gave a $2 billion dollar “Thanks for getting me elected!” US taxpayer-funded “loan” to Petrobras for, just after he took office.
Sooner or later Soros is going to piss off the wrong people playing god on this planet and it wont matter how much security or money he has; he’ll be toast. You can’t do this much evil and just get away with it forever. The piper always gets paid...
“The peasants are revolting!”
“You said it....they stink on ice!!”
Yahoo News, 10 March
A former Petrobras executive told a congressional hearing on Tuesday that Brazil’s ruling Workers’ Party received up to $200 million skimmed from contracts with the state-run oil company, reiterating claims made in plea bargain testimony.
Pedro Barusco, a former executive at Petrobras’ services division, said he had received payments as early as 1997 and in larger amounts starting in 2004, one year after the Workers’ Party took office.
He said João Vaccari, treasurer for President Dilma Rousseff’s political party, had received between $150 million and $200 million between 2003 and 2014, based on the percentages of contracts he himself had received.
“I got a piece; they got a piece,” Barusco said. He has pledged to return $97 million to public coffers as part of a deal he reached with prosecutors.
Barusco spoke at a time of escalating fallout from the scandal at Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PETR4.SA), as Petrobras is formally known, with dozens of lawmakers now implicated.
Barusco said he did not know who ultimately ran the scheme and to his knowledge Former Petrobras CEO Maria das Graças Foster, who resigned along with other senior Petrobras management last month, was not involved.
The Workers’ Party denied that its treasurer had ever discussed funding with Barusco and said it only received legal donations. In a statement, the party said that in five hours of testimony, Barusco had provided no proof linking Vaccari to bribes”
It seems the Socialist/Communist “Worker’s Party” has been the biggest beneficiary of a massive, yesr-long bribery scheme.
The list of civilized 1st world countries located
between Capricorn and Cancer is very short, indeed.
How many ethnic Russians reside in Brazil? Has it been part of Russia since the time of Catherine the Great?
That’s a picture of Myrtle Beach during spring break.
Why would Obama over throw the US government ? He is the US government. What he wants to do is overthrow local and state police forces and replace them with a nationalist force. He is doing that right now in Ferguson.
Anyone care to bet how fast Obama would send out the troops and tanks if we ordinary people started rioting?
The ONE time that conservatives did take to the streets, it was vilified as the “Brooks Brothers Protest” if you recall, and it mocked mercilessly by the late night comics and Saturday Night Live.
Nothing like that going on here in the land formerly known as "The land of The Free".

Soon Soros will find out that he isn’t a “god” when the grim reaper comes a calling. This bastard is in his 80’s so it won’t be long before he heads off to Hell!

The old man is just the diaper-wearing figurehead, now.
It is his SONS, one that runs the company, the other HEAVILY involved in Dem Party fund-raising, and the Billionaire Oligarchs Cabal that invest with them, like Peter Omidyar, etc., that are the real threat to democracies everywhere.

And no less a threat are the Bill Gates’, Tom Steyer’s, etc. There needs to be a way found to blunt the effect of their wealth on society. Maybe before they send Gotti away for life, he could do us a few favors.
