Why You Might Not Want to Buy Empanadas from a Street Vendor in Brazil

Three people were arrested last week in Garanhuns, Brazil and charged with killing two women, eating parts of their bodies, and then using the flesh to provide the pastry for empanadas which they then sold on the street to imprudent purchasers.

Obama approves Brazil drilling Gulf of Mexico

You folks in the Gulf of Mexico are going to just love this! Since the BP oil spill 11 months ago, the Obama administration has only approved 1 of 107 permits filed to resume drilling for oil in the Gulf. Apparently, the two things we need most here in America, jobs and oil, are not priorities of Barack Obama. However, he has approved allowing Brazil′s Petrobras, their large oil company which is partially owned by Obama supporter George Soros, to conduct deep-water oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. How wonderful is that?

1,200 new species Amazon teeming with Life

A new study called Amazon Alive: A Decade of Discoveries 1999-2009 says that some 1,200 new species of Amazon wildlife have been discovered. The Amazon biome is the most diverse on the planet according to Francisco Ruiz of the World Wildlife Fund’s Living Amazon Initiative. For examples, a new species of boa, Eunectes beniensis was discovered in 2002 and a new species of parrot, the Pyrilia aurantiocephala, was discovered in 2004. Environmentalists have long voiced concern over the vanishing Amazon rainforest, but in truth, a new species is discovered on an average of one every three days just in the Amazon biome. About the only endangered species is the “No Ordinary Family” TV series on ABC.

NORTHERN AMAZON, PERU - JUNE 11: Aerial scene of the Northern Amazon on June 11, 2007 in Peru. The scenes show pristine forest as well as the impact of roads into the forest, roadside urbanisation and the effects of that. The images also show the oil town of Trompederos. Scenes there depict the industry of Petroplus, an Argentine oil company and the effect it has on the forest and the pipeline leading thorugh it. The Amazon is a pristine river and massive rainforest is under threat from infrastructure development in Peru. The Achuar Indian people of this Northern region recently won a legal battle with Argentinian Oil giant PlusPetrol to stop them dumping waste oil water, so called 'hot-water' into their water supply. The amount is estimated at around 500 000 barrels a day over a period of 30 years. This has played havoc with the eco-systems around the town of Trompeteros. The oil company has yet to make good on its promises for payment and transparency. The oil company provides the bulk of employment for the polluted town of Trompeteros and thus has the local Achuan population under pressure to not pay attention to the pollution levels. The Achuan people are faced with a choice between a centuries old sustainable lifestyle in harmony with the environment or a move towards increased devastation of their natural lands in the Amazon basin by the oil industry.

IMF warns on currency wars

The head of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, is sounding a warning that a global currency war poses a “real threat” of a potential depression. Following through on a policy of “quantitative easing”, the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan are deliberately devaluing their currencies. The idea is to manipulate currency value to spur economic growth, primarily two ways, making exports cheaper and to cheapen the currency with inflation to monetize their massive sovereign debts. Meanwhile, the officials of both U.S. (Timothy Geithner) and Japan are encouraging the China to increase the value of the Yuan, to make China’s exports more expensive and to make their holdings of U.S. and Japanese bonds worth less. Emerging market nations, like Brazil, are also now caught in the crossfire. The head of the China Central Bank, Zhou Xiaochuan said Friday they will resist currency reform efforts by the U.S. and Europe.

U.S. dollar notes are seen tied after counting at a bank during a photo opportunity in Seoul October 8, 2010. Japan will continue to intervene in foreign exchange markets when deemed necessary, the finance minister warned on Friday, just hours before G7 and IMF officials meet to discuss rising tension over currency policies.

Clown Elected to Congress… in Brazil

Tiririca, or Grumpy, the Clown, also known as Francisco Oliveira Silva, may be headed to join Brazil’s congress. The Brazilian people have gone and elected the illiterate Tririca, whom not only won the seat to represent the city of Sao Paolo, but he was the highest vote-getter of any congressional candidate in Brazil’s elections on Sunday. The second highest vote count in Brazilian history! Tiririca earned over 1.3 million votes, more than twice as many as anybody else. Not bad for clowning around! His campaign slogan was a winner, “Vote Tiririca! It can’t get any worse!”
