hello tom, let me paraphrase you, to make sure i understand your points, so that i can study and learn, here it goes <<Your attempts to [not] "understand by paraphrasing" are nothing more than the usual attempts to evade and divert the discussion away from uncomfortable questions or subject matter. As you know from our prior discussions, I will not follow you down that path. You ask, what is my point? I'll repeat & summarize. Chinese [Israeli and new worlder] actions in [palestine and n.america] Tibet resulted in the death, torture, imprisonment and labor camp internment of many hundreds of thousands of people. End of story. Doesn't matter what the reason was, this statement is factual and true. Don't you agree that this is a true statement? Don't go pointing fingers at other countries, please just answer the question. BTW, all this talk about running dog lackeys, imperialists , baby skin, nazi-loving lamas, foreign pig dogs ...etc reminds me of the [invasions, opium wars, nazi holocaust, nanjing massacres and feudal theocracy terrorism]drivel that Mao's people used to [state] rant. Speaking of Mao [whoever he is, however relevant, and speaking of nazi-loving dalai lama, zionist settlers and whoever] this gives me an opportunity to develop a thought using your own logic as expressed in numerous of your posts over the last few days. Let's see, instead of feudalism, baby skin, British/American lackeys & brutal Tibetans, let's substitute: - [zionist settlers] Red Guards beating, torturing, killing many untold thousands. - [shooting of little girls as target practice today in and around gaza] cannibalism in Guangxi province during the Cultural Revolution. - female baby infanticide, forced abortions [dislocations and 7/24/52 intern defacto camping]. - millions killed to ensure the ascendancy of & continued rule of a megalomaniac ruler [whoever he is]. - pathetic policy decisions that resulted in the deaths of tens of millions [across the planet] Based on this exercise & employing your logic, then: "Maybe the early [earliest] arriving [settlers sharing genetic kinship to] Chinese along with some other ethnically-related country should have invaded [america and] China to spare their later-arriving brethren the horrors of being subjected to the whims of a psychopath [ic exclusionary laws and regulations and persecutions] and being forced to live under communist [california] rule as dictated by the red [americans] chinese and their communist henchmen such as [britain, japan, israel, saudi arabia, egypt, iraq, ...] russia, n. korea, albania, e.germany ...etc." So if you feel that [palestine/israel and america] Tibet needed to be liberated than surely you can see that conditions in [america and israel/palestine] China were such that liberating it would have relieved the suffering of millions. Correct?>> ...did i understand you correctly? if not, give it another try, truly, and make sure to twist right so i do not have to turn left. frankly, it amazes me you do not get the message. should i unilaterally declare the single and all-encompassing topic of "tibet, israel, palestine, n.america indians" a closed and off-limit topic on this thread, against my own rules regarding thread self-law and self-order? what is it about si administrations message do you not get? why must you instigate and continue to write hate messages on this thread?

Brazil seeks to curb rising inflation By Joe Leahy in Brasilia Published: March 3 2011 00:56 \| Last updated: March 3 2011 00:56 Brazil’s central bank raised interest rates by 50 basis points in the second such move this year as it seeks to curb rising inflation. New central bank head Alexandre Tombini boosted the benchmark Selic rate to 11.75 per cent on Wednesday night as he seeks to balance rising inflation against a strong currency. “The Copom (monetary policy committee), decided unanimously to raise the Selic rate,” the central bank said, without elaborating. Brazil’s economy is expected to have grown about 7.5 per cent in 2010 and is on track for further expansion this year on the back of rising consumer credit and investment. The government is expected to release fourth-quarter gross domestic data on Thursday. The rapid growth has also rekindled inflation and attracted foreign investment inflows that have strengthened the Brazil’s currency, the real. At 6.08 per cent in the 12 months to mid-February, inflation is above the central bank’s target of 4.5 per cent, plus or minus 2 per cent. In an effort to reduce over-heating in the economy, Brazil’s new President Dilma Rousseff has announced an R$50bn downward revision of its budget for 2011. But government spending is still expected to increase compared with last year in real terms (after adjusting for inflation), economists say. Brazilian industrial output had shown signs of weakening late last year but in January it rose 0.2 per cent compared with December. This sparked a rise in yields on interest rate futures contracts on Wednesday as investors bet that the central bank would raise interest rates faster than expected. “January industrial surprised favourably … suggesting industrial sector momentum may be picking-up again,” said RBC in a research note. It said it expected GDP growth to be higher than government forecasts at about 7.7 per cent to 8 per cent for full-year 2010. The strong growth in the economy, buoyant government spending and the threat of higher oil prices from the Middle East crisis will raise concerns that the central bank will have to keep its foot on the brake longer to take the heat out of Brazil’s economy. But economists expect it to combine any further interest rate increases with “macro-prudential measures”, such as reserve requirements and other steps. Brazil already has the highest real interest rates of any large economy and Ms Rousseff has stated that she wants to reduce them over time. .Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2011.
