I know this one; he's a vulgar reactionary travestied as a divine finances
expert, of the kind that's now very vocal in demanding from Lula the
authonomy of the Brazilian Central Bank with a fixed term for one of their
ilk. He belongs to that vipers'nest of "sound" economic thinking, the
Getulio Vargas Foundation, who does not at all, one sees, in the way of
honouring Vargas' memory...

What a jerk...It's necessary to have attained a high degree of idiocy to
walk any street of any Latin American city and not to see the crowds of
street vendors, the omnipresence of drugdealing and pentecostal missionaries
and the general climete of lack of perspective and futire and not to
acknowledge the effects of neoliberalism.

Pathetic. But then that comes to the single point that the Latin American
Right, after years of subservience, downsizing of public services and
dismantling of the national Armed Forces. cannot readily have access to its
main conspiratorial tool and must therefore wage, for awhile, an
_ideological_ offensive aimed at intellectually demoralizing anything that
stands against it. The media - as seem in Venezuela - is the main front and
the Left should take note of it, before the Right continues to impose its
"newspeak" on everyone.
