Biden: "You see Dilma, we want everything - everything. And we'd be willing to give you a cut if only you'd sell out on your country's future and quit making deals with those other countries. Oh, and I promise you'll be sorry if you don't take my offer. Good deal, no?"
Washington's regime change machinery has for the time being succeeded in removing an important link in the alliance of large emerging nations by railroading through a Senate impeachment of the duly elected President, Dilma Rousseff. On August 31 her Vice President Michel Temer was sworn in as President. In his first speech as president, the cynical Temer called for a government of
"national salvation," asking for the trust of the Brazilian people. He indicated plans to reform, and has also signaled his intention to overhaul the pension system and labor laws, and cut public spending, all themes beloved of Wall Street banks, of the International Monetary Fund and their Washington Consensus.
Now after less than three weeks at the job, Temer has unveiled plans for wholesale privatization of Brazil's crown jewels, starting with oil. The planned Wall Street rape of Brazil is about to begin.
It's important to keep in mind that elected President Rousseff was
not convicted or even formally charged with any concrete act of corruption, even though the pro-oligarchy mainstream Brazil media, led by O'Globo Group of the billionaire Roberto Irineu Marinho, ran a media defamation campaign creating the basis to railroad Rousseff into formal impeachment before the Senate. The shift took place after the opposition PMDB party of Temer on March 29 broke their coalition with Rousseff's Workers' Party, as accusations of Petrobras-linked corruption were made against Rousseff and former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Comment: The all-out information/humanitarian offensive is now on. Expect more propaganda-based hysterics now that the ceasefire has failed and Russia/Syria go all-out in their war on terrorists in Syria. Some choice quotes about the UNSC meeting: Ban Ki-moon is "appalled by the chilling military escalation". The hypocrisy is stunning.
SOHR is a complete joke. It is the brainchild of Rami Abdul Rahman, a 3-times convicted criminal in Syria who fled to Britain in 2000, gained political asylum, opened a pizza parlor, and now supplies, in lieu of actual reporting, second- and third-hand reports from Syria that constitute the bulk of 'facts' that go into the Western media's narratives about the situation there.
And he does all this from his home in Coventry, England. So when you see the Western media citing his outfit, bear in mind that he's a criminal-turned-informant for British intelligence with an axe to grind against the Syrian government, and thus has mutual interest in deposing al-Assad and opening the country up to predation by criminals of like mind.
