Brazil-Iran: Demonizing leaders to get economic advantages are over. We knopw the Anglo game very well. We don't play diplomacy by Fox news.

Lula is a Chavista in disguise and the disguise is slowly coming off. We denigrate Chavez as a corrupt totalitarian dictator-for-life-in-the-making but if Lula had gotten the jump on him we would be talking about Lulistas. He is a bit slow, but he is getting with the squalid program. Witness his meddling in Honduras, a totally inconsequential micronation. A coup or some sort of attempt to enshrine himself forever is Lula's next move. All a well-worn path: Caudillo gets a little popularity, starts to rob the people of civil liberties, gets a group of co-opted cronies going, uses the military to intimidate the people, fiddles with elections, barks at the US or becomes its puppet, steals, steals, then steals more.....the list of them is a long and putrid one, Peron, Somoza, Castro, Ortega, Papa Doc, Baby Doc, Pineapple Face (Panama), the Brazilian, Argentinian and Chilean generals, etc., etc. Lula is merely one among many. It all eventually ends badly for the people, most of whom think the New Guy is the best thing since sliced bread, at least at first. Elmat is a wonderful example of the kind of sheeple on whom these tinhorn types rely. Watch for silly decrees, like Chavez's "no more golf courses," and you will know the game is afoot.
