Lula Has No One But Himself to Blame for Falling Out of Grace with Foreign Press

Augusto Zimmermann

The supporters of president Lula in Brazil constantly remind us that he is very appreciated by foreign journalists. Well, I bring some bad news to these people: Lula is definitively not as "loved" as he once was.

In a certain way, everything started to change when Brazil decided to support the request from Cuba and Libya to suspend the

Lula's Latest Decree Is Death Knell for Free Press and Private Property

Janer Cristaldo Readers ask me if I'm not going to comment on the infamous Decree 7,037 establishing the National Human Rights Program, the last gasp of the Kremlin's widows in a Brazil where the essence of the air is still red. (Le fond de l'air est rouge, as the 1968 rich kids used to say in Paris). To be honest, I wasn't going to comment. The mainstream media is strongly denouncing the miniconstituent d… Continue

Twitter, a Madhouse Where Brazilians Are as Crazy as Anybody Else

Washington Araújo Accessing the Internet is becoming as much a routine as brushing your teeth first thing in the morning. While we sleep the world keeps happening and if it happens it must be a record of it in a news portal or some blog. Famous people seem to die first on the Internet. A shameful situation involving a celebrity takes on an air of tragedy first on the Internet. And if you think a… Continue

Black Americans' Prejudice Is Drowning Out What Brazilians Say About Themselves

Ana Paula da Silva When African Americans talk about traveling to Brazil, two types of tourism tend to be discussed. On the one hand, there is a growing interest in so-called "heritage tourism" to Salvador da Bahia, supposedly Brazil's blackest city. On the other, there's the "scandal" of what author Jewel Woods has called black America's best kept secret: black male sexual tourism in Rio de Janeiro.… Continue

Under Complicit Silence of Nation Lula Is Swindling Brazil with the Rafales

By Reinaldo Azevedo Were it not for this kind of collective abduction that we are all subjected to with "The Man" doing as he pleases over the institutions - and the public morality - the case of the Rafale fighter jets would be treated for what it is: a scandal, perhaps Lula administration's largest one. It is not like that because I want to. That's the way it is. India has opened an international tend… Continue

How Sean Goldman's Brazilian Family Exploited Hague's Loopholes to Keep the Boy

The Lins e Silva and Bianchi families' lawyers announced they will continue to dispute custody of nine-year-old Sean Goldman in Brazilian courts. The problem is that under the terms of the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, Brazilian courts should not decide custody in this case. Sean, the son of Bruna Bianchi and an American, David Goldman, was born in the United… Continue

You've Got to Hear Eduarda Fadini, Heir to the Best Voice Brazil Has to Offer

When I hear Eduarda Fadini singing, it comes to my mind that Brazil is not only a storehouse of great soccer players, but also a country that produces great female singers, inexhaustible. Eduarda is an example of it. Carioca (from Rio de Janeiro), niece of one of the members of the famous bossa nova vocal group Os Cariocas, she appeared on the music scenery as a talented singer and songwriter in the late… Continue

Giuliani Comes to Rio for Another Assault on the Poor in the Name of Hygiene and Order

By Thaddeus Blanchette Well, it's official. The city of Rio de Janeiro will probably hire Rudy Giuliani to tell them how to clean up our town for the Olympics. Let me tell you why this is a bad idea. Rudy's good at tooting his own horn and, to hear the man talk, he got rid of crime in the Big Apple in only 6 years by instituting a "zero tolerance" policy. According to Rudy, "It's the logic of the brok… Continue

Role Reversal: David (Goldman) versus Goliath (Brazil)

B. Michael Rubin I doubt there is anyone, American or Brazilian, who isn't relieved to see the Goldman saga come to a conclusion. No matter where your sympathies lie, five years is long enough for any child custody case to linger in limbo. I suspect that it was in fact the five-year battle that rocketed this matter to the media's attention, as family custody fights are not typical headline grabbers… Continue

Major Villain, Livestock Source of 50% of Brazil's Greenhouse

Lula Wants World to Know Brazil Is Iran's Good Friend, Nukes Included

Brazilian diplomats believe that the administration of president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva plans to expand Brazil government's outward signs of support and solidarity to Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. According to them, last week's visit of Brazil's Foreign Minister, Celso Amorim, to the Iranian city of Isfahan to arrange Lula's visit to Tehran is just another proof of the Brazilian… Continue
