The largest South American nation Brazil currently experiencing anti-government demonstrations across the country that initially began with dispute over bus fare hikes presumably reversed following people protests in this regard.

Now the anti-authority rally continues with further demands ranging from political reforms revoking the bill granting more immunity from legal proceedings against lawmakers involved in corruption scandals to addressing national issues like high taxes, inflation, jobs, health, education and better public services all around.

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff promises to improve conditions in the recent televised national speech could be implemented immediately by changing course in legislation on anti-corruption bill including Transparency and Accountability Act barring exemptions in crime investigation.

Simultaneously the government setting up three years plan for investments in various social programs with a firm commitment to alleviate citizens plight could be an urgent priority.

The economic review to rectify disproportionate taxations, inflation and strategy to boost local production in manufacturing and service industry is imperative to stimulate growth.

The oil revenues divested in job creation, national health care, free education for the poor and marginalized demography emulating Venezuelan model would mitigate burgeoning problems that are not unique to Brazil but in fact shared amongst citizens worldwide.

Meanwhile, Brazilian population initiating direct talks with government through representatives committed to national interest is critical to avert foreign sources exploitation of situation given the eagerness to debilitate nations especially with oil reserves for en masse subjugation.

Hegemony infiltration instigating unrest cannot be ruled out considering prominent legacy prevalent to access foreign resources by causing internal turmoil.

Brazilian dissent with restraints refraining from violence, vandalism and looting is important to protect public and private property.

Any damages in this context would mean the people are the ones to bear repair and restoration costs as consumers and taxpayers in society defeating the purpose behind the call to fix rising taxes and prices in the country.

Brazil being a modern and civilized nation cannot afford to deviate from proper engagement and that could be meaningful negotiations and dialogue with the state and federal authority.

Peaceful assembly to express grievances is the national right of all citizens world over.

However, demonstrators utilizing opportunity to resolve crises with authority willing to redress citizens concerns in all affairs would be prudent and effective in producing desirable outcome.

Unlike Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan leadership authorized violent crackdown and refusal to accept responsibility for numerous mistakes that has led to foreign occupation under the pretext of Patriot missiles installation.

Besides enduring terror attacks in Reyhanli and southwestern Hatay province emanating from state sponsored terrorism against neighbor Syria.

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff assurance to deal with citizens matter perhaps deserves national attention offering the political power the benefit of doubt in delivering the guarantee.

As for the spending on World Cup in 2014 and Olympics Games in 2016 – the bulk investments are usually made by FIFA and IOC along with corporate sponsors respectively with government expenditure upon efficient management in hosting international activities could be recovered in profits from diverse avenues viz. global telecast, commercials, local and overseas visitors participation as spectators, merchandise vendors and,

Not to mention the prime occasion promoting tourism as well as exports to potential buyers within and outside the region.

Brazilian government modernization efforts during these sports ventures might be aimed at tourist attractions and other economic prospects along side elevating national image in the ability to organize major events.

Nonetheless, these modifications could be carried out without compromising indigenous heritage and local residents livelihoods demonstrating care and respect for nationals regardless of socio economic and ethnic background.

Furthermore, government housing or financing with independent oversight to replace slums in urban dwelling in Rio de Janeiro or capital Brasilia, Sao Paulo, Belo Horizonte and across the country would be a way forward to achieve goals benefitting people and national economy.

In contrast, the western leaderships in the United States, Britain, France and Germany squander tax income in terror operations targeting innocent lives in Syria and supplying weapons to dictatorships in Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, UAE, Kuwait and wherever possible to prolong oppression and persecution.

Notwithstanding the western leaders abuse of power reflected in egregious decisions and gross neglect of domestic economy hurting their citizens denying them life with dignity.

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and political establishment at different hierarchy interaction with citizens encouraging civil discourse avoiding excess force or aggressive practices to disperse crowds is essential to restore calm and stability.

The agents of chaos and destruction in their desire for global dominance seek troubles deploying overt or covert methods to gain entry for harmful intentions witnessed thus far.

Hence, Brazilian unity and government sincerity in the formation of national reconciliation committee with collective input using smart innovative ideas for self-sufficiency and fair distribution of equity from oil and several endowments is the viable solution to short and long term challenges confronting the nation.

Brazilian military and intelligence vigilance thwarting any threats to territorial integrity is crucial for national and regional security.

The destabilization of nations and regions is the contemporary trend and pose dilemma for nations earmarked in the imperialist agenda.

Regional cooperation and coordination strengthening bilateral and multilateral ties in trade and specifically national defense is paramount.

Brazilian government and republic adherence to non-violence with rational approach for a new beginning would be beneficial to all preventing foreign opportunists from taking undue advantage of the stalemate that could adversely affect the nation at large.

Best Wishes to citizens, President Dilma Rousseff and leaderships representing political, military, economic and social spectrum in exercising self-determination rights to introduce policies that are favorable to the entire nation upholding constitution, democratic values and individual freedom.

Safeguarding Brazil sovereignty is national responsibility and preservation would exemplify patriotism.

Wishing Brazil success in all frontiers as an emerging economy and reliable partner in global peace.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Colombia – Bogota And Caracas Ties Valuable For South America

June 6, 2013

The foreign intrusion in Venezuela escalated post election declaring President Nicolas Maduro decisive winner.

President Nicolas Maduro has been challenged ever since by hegemony favored contender Governor Henrique Capriles Radonski in the effort to destabilize Venezuela.

Governor Henrique Capriles Radonski protest in this regard also led to civilian casualties with at least seven or more deaths and many injured in the unnecessary disturbance brought upon the nation.

There appears to be United States backed vigorous campaign against popular government of President Nicolas Maduro to create chaos and confusion in Venezuela.

Although such intervention is hardly surprising considering United States foreign policy aimed at political instability worldwide.

Meanwhile, the peace talks in Havana, Cuba between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and Colombian government with Venezuela and Chile participation is critical to solidify the agreement on economic and social development in rural areas bringing the decades old confrontation to an end.

FARC and Colombian government commitment towards this deal is important to save lives and move the nation forward for pervasive progress leaving none behind in national achievements.

The latest report on Colombian government soldiers killing four FARC members in clashes in Colombia’s southern province of Putumayo is regrettable and these incidents needlessly harm the current peace initiatives desperately required in leading the country away from perpetual turmoil and unrest.

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos meeting Venezuelan opposition leader Henrique Capriles Radonski in Bogota following talks with United States Vice President Joe Biden clarifies the unwanted tension in Bogota and Caracas relation prompting Venezuela to withdraw the envoy involved in Colombian peace negotiations with FARC in Cuba.

Governor Henrique Capriles Radonski tour of Latin America to promote hegemony goals rejecting legitimate government of President Nicolas Maduro categorically defines the opposition leader’s agenda to work against national interest.

Such activities are best abandoned for they serve none and evidently counterproductive.

Instead the opposition leader shifting focus on positive contributions enabling the incumbent administration under President Nicolas Maduro to address relevant national issues like economy, citizens safety and social advancement would prove genuine concern for the people of Venezuela over personal political ambition.

On the other hand, Colombia ties with Venezuela especially the present government pledged to late President Hugo Chavez Bolivarian Revolution is significant for Americas to protect national sovereignty, political and economic independence from foreign interference.

Upon safeguarding national freedom, social justice is possible in general recognition of population as mainstream barring isolation or segregation behind disparity in society.

Colombian citizens demand for removal of all U.S, military bases – seven in total along with ban on arms supply to drug cartels – situations shared with Afghanistan and Mexico respectively is the preliminary step towards national liberty.

Furthermore, Colombian public resistance to NATO membership is essential to prevent subjugation and western dominance as experienced by Turkey.

Colombia transcending from drug haven identity to dependable partner in regional peace, security and economic growth would be beneficial to Andean nation and Latin America.

Colombian government extending peace to factions representing marginalized and disenfranchised segments across the nation would guarantee multilateral gains maintaining balance of power providing economic opportunity to all.

Colombia and FARC implementing recent accord into action would set precedence in crises resolution renouncing violence that consume lives and resources affecting the nation at large.

Simultaneously Colombian government headed by President Juan Manuel Santos strengthening cooperation in all aspects with Venezuelan counterpart President Nicolas Maduro would be prudent not to mention Latin American solidarity confirming formidability against external threats and provocation.

Wishing citizens in Colombia and entire Latin America a new beginning with promising future and tranquility.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
