Banned in Brazil
Manda Bala (Send a Bullet)
Directed by Jason Kohn (2007)
Film Review
Maori TV showed this 2007 documentary two nights ago – a timely choice in view of Brazilian legislative corruption that culminated in the illegal impeachment of democratically elected president Dilma Rousseff two months ago.
Send a Bullet is a horrifying account of class warfare, extreme wealth disparity and extreme violence in Sao Palo Brazil. The film has been banned in Brazil.
According to the filmmakers Sao Paulo, with a population of 20 million, experiences one kidnapping every single day. Ruthless outlaws routinely cut off ears and fingers to send with their ransom demands. The documentary profiles a Brazilian plastic surgeon who makes his living reattaching the severed ears of kidnap victims.
Because the government offers virtually no protection against kidnapping, wealthy Sao Paulo residents hire bodyguards, drive bullet proof cars and take special classes to protect themselves from kidnapping. Many rely on helicopters as the only safe method of transport.
The film also explores how organized crime has deeply infiltrated the Brazilian government, in large part because serving officials are exempt from prosecution in civilian courts.
Although the documentary is nine years old, a quick search of the Internet suggests that Brazil’s kidnapping epidemic persists unabated. In June gunmen kidnapped a New Zealand Jiu-Jitsu champion in the lead-up to the Olympics and in August the mother-in-law of the head of Formula One auto racing. Visitors to Brazil should consult the Globe Media website on the best way to protect themselves against kidnapping: Safety in Brazil

Bolivia Becomes First South American Country To Ban Rothschild Banks

Bolivia has become the latest country to kick the Rothschild banks out of their country, with President Evo Morales announcing that Bolivia will no longer respond to pressure or financial blackmail from the US government or Rothschild-controlled international banking institutions.
Bolivia has become the latest country to kick the Rothschild banks out of their country, with President Evo Morales announcing that Bolivia will no longer respond to pressure or financial blackmail from the US government or Rothschild-controlled international banking institutions.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and US-dominated World Bank have been major players in the global economic landscape ever since their creation in 1944. These international banking organizations, which are privately controlled by the notorious Rothschild banking family, first pressure nations to deregulate their financial sector, allowing private banks to loot their economies.
Once the governments are forced to bail-out their deregulated financial sector, the IMF or World Bank sets up a loan package written in secret by central bankers and finance ministers that undermine their national sovereignty and force them to adopt policies of austerity that harm workers, families, and the environment.
Bolivia have become the first South American…

7 Historical Factz Everyone Should Know About the Black Pantherz Breakfast Program
*
Their free breakfast program allowed the Black Panthers to address issues that were getting little attention by the media: hunger and poverty.
*
The Black Panther Party’s Free Breakfast for Children program was established when the Civil Rights Movement had reached a turning point. When the program originated, both Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and President Robert F. Kennedy had been assassinated. By the time the program was dismantled, over 20,000 children had been given the opportunity to enjoy a full breakfast before the beginning of every school day.
Here are some extraordinary facts to know about the Panthers’ breakfast offering:
1. The Black Panthers believed in the importance of education. The program was created to allow children the opportunity to show up to school with a full stomach, ready to learn.
2. The first breakfast program opened in January 1969 at Father Earl A. Neil’s St. Augustine Episcopal Church in Oakland, California. On the first day of the Free Breakfast for Children program, BPP members fed 11 children. By the end of…

Sixteen European States Want Arms Control Agreement with Russia*
By Peter Korzun
Fifteen European states have supported Germany’s initiative to launch discussions with Russia on a new arms control agreement.
«Europe’s security is in danger», German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told Die Welt newspaper in an interview published on November 25.
«As difficult as ties to Russia may currently be, we need more dialogue, not less».
Steinmeier, a Social Democrat nominated to become German president next year, first called for a new arms control deal with Russia in August to avoid an escalation of tensions in Europe.
Fifteen other members of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) – have since joined Steinmeier’s initiative: France, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Spain, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Sweden, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Portugal.
The group plans to discuss the issue on the sidelines of…

The truth about exit polls and vote counts: 2016 Democratic Presidential Primary | BlackBoxVoting.org
*
*
As long as questions about the validity of Clinton’s primary victories are based almost entirely upon exit polls, we remain in the realm of speculation. Only by examining the forensic evidence — ballots, poll books, voter signature books, ballot accounting charts — can the official vote counts be proven true or false. That is what we did in Ohio. That is what public citizens need to do right now.Instructions are available here: http://blackboxvoting.org/how-to-audit-an-election
In St. Louis, Missouri, Clinton won among voters at the polls by 54.2% to 45.2%, and among absentee voters by 71.4% to 25.2%. In Kansas City, Missouri, Clinton won among voters at the polls by 55.6% to 43.9%, and among absentee voters by 70.6% to 27.7%. In St. Louis, only 5.85% of the ballots cast were absentee. In Kansas City, only 3.57% of the ballots cast were absentee. But they did account for Clinton’s statewide margin of victory. The absentee ballots need to be audited.In Hamilton County, Ohio, Clinton won among voters at the polls by 57.6% to 41.6%, and among absentee voters by 68.2% to 29.7%. In Cuyahoga County, Ohio, Clinton won among voters at the polls by 59.8% to 39.8%, and among absentee voters by 73.0% to 26.2%. Sanders got less than 10% of the absentee ballots in 52 of 336 precincts in Cleveland, and less than 20%…

The best argument for a recount comes from Trump himself — Quartz
The newly elected president of the world’s most vaunted democracy is asserting that democracy is a sham.
In an extraordinary series of tweets on Sunday (Nov. 27), US president-elect Donald Trump claimed—with absolutely no evidence—that millions of people voted illegally in the election he won on Nov. 8.
The tweets were a response to Democrats’ complaints that Hillary Clinton’s two million-and-counting vote margin in the popular vote undermines his mandate—though because of the US electoral college system, it doesn’t invalidate his victory.
They followed the news that Clinton’s campaign will join Green party candidate Jill Stein’s recount efforts in Midwest states narrowly won by Trump, which some fear could have been manipulated by foreign hacking. Trump responded by claiming that there has been “serious voter fraud” in several states that Clinton won, and that a biased media is ignoring it (again, presenting no evidence).
It’s worth pausing to underline just how massive a claim the president-elect is making: that the system that elected him is either (a) irreparably corrupt, or (b) woefully incompetent. By making this assertion, he is discrediting his own electoral college victory and, more importantly, the entire American democratic electoral system. . .

This is the second part of a series on health care refugees. Read the first part here .
(CNN)Rich and Kim Muszynski know when their 5-year-old daughter, Abby, is about to have a grand mal seizure because her pupils enlarge, and she’ll seem to fixate at something in the distance that only she can see.
Then it starts. Abby’s extremities shake. She gasps for air.
By the time she turned 3, Abby had tried about eight different anti-seizure medications. None of them worked very well. Panicked to see their daughter getting worse and worse, the Muszynskis drove three hours to Orlando to see Dr. Ngoc Minh Le, a board certified pediatric neurologist and epileptologist.
Le told them that chances of another anti-seizure drug working on Abby…

Debunking Large Scale Hydroelectric Dams
Damocracy
Directed by Todd Southgate and Tolga Temugle (2013)
Film Review
Damocracy is a documentary debunking the myth that large scale hydroelectric dams combat global warming by producing emission-free electric power. In reality, they create massive amounts of methane by flooding and killing large areas of vegetation. Because methane is a far more dangerous greenhouse gas than CO2, it takes approximately 41 years for a dam to produce any net benefit for the climate.
The film focuses on global protest movements which have formed in reaction to two specific dam projects: Ilisu on the Tigris River in Turkey and Belo Monte in Brazil.
In addition to displacing more than 35,000 rural residents, the Ilisu Dam would flood more than 300 unique Mesopotamian heritage sites. It would also aggravate water shortages in southern Iraq and Iran.
The Belo Monte dam would displace 40,000 indigenous people, virtually destroying 18 distinct ethnic cultures.
Despite strong support for the Bel Monte dam by former president Dilma Rousseff, mass popular resistance forced her government to discontinue the Bel Monte project in April 2016.
Turkish president Recep Erdogan continues construction on Turkey’s Ilisu Dam despite UN and high court rulings ordering him to desist. Ongoing local and international protests have significantly delayed the damn’s completion, originally slated for 2015.

Veterans Today Predicts Paul Ryan Will Be President in January
A recent article by Gordon Duff, Veterans Today senior editor, predicts House Speaker Paul Ryan will likely assume the US presidency in January. In my view, he correctly points out that Ryan, not Clinton, is the logical constitutional successor if evidence of vote fraud throws the result of the Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania vote into question.
Disclosure: Constitutional Crisis, Trump/Pence Pressured to Withdraw (updated)
Proof of Election Fraud Exists, has been “classified” for “national security reasons” and we all are royally “screwed”
By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor
Speaker Paul Ryan may well be President Paul Ryan in January.
Here is what our friends in Israel tell us:
Netanyahu told Trump he is the “chosen,” the messiah. Look at those Trump surrounded himself with late in the campaign, all Christian Zionists, all Dominionists, most are Creationists as well. Trump has been doing his best to play the Christ figure. Oh god, how this is playing out, how they are laughing at us.
Negotiations are ongoing to find a way to allow Trump and Pence to withdraw, to resign even before taking office. There is nothing in American law, not the constitution nor any of the laws of succession.
What is known is this:
There was massive electronic vote hacking, using programs which erased themselves, exactly as predicted on InfoWars. All this was done to give Trump key states.
There is no statistical possibility a candidate can lose the popular vote by over 2m and win an election.
There is now hard evidence of massive absentee voter fraud, Wisconsin and other states, showing a massive criminal conspiracy behind the Trump candidacy.
President Obama, as is always the case, is betraying the American people by remaining silent and “doing what is right,” which for him always means “what he is told.”

Hillary Clinton’s loss was a shock to the purveyors of U.S. military hegemony, who saw in her an easier path to keep the Syria conflict going. Secretary of State Clinton was instrumental in the early days of Syria intervention, in 2010 making a series of demands for Syria to get in line behind the U.S. vision for the Middle East.
When Bashar al-Assad refused to roll over, regime change became the talking point of Washington think tanks and mainstream media echo chambers. Clinton promised during her campaign to ramp up action in Syria, to the delight of the same neocons who brought the Iraq invasion. She acknowledged that many civilians would…
