  For the first time since John F. Kennedy, the USA has a charismatic leader to the point of being popular in other lands, becoming a reference for the electorates of different countries. And, because of his path and ethnic culture, Obama through that his image has an obvious penetration in the Brazilian public opinion.

  The American diplomacy strategists operate with this certainty. They are manipulating that symbolic projection with coherence to their interests. There are two axioms in politics that may explain this modus operandi. One of them is to "divide to reign or to conquer", and the other is the "going deep to grass roots popularity of a politician's" image, accentuating an imaginary representation and not the real or factual projection.

  In the action of dividing to reign, the Department of State focus is the…

  June 4th, 2010 – a political analysis from BRASIL

  Let us begin by thinking of the left and then get to terrorism. To be or not fan of these matrices of thought implies that at least one is a critique of capitalism both in it's…

  It was proven that those that had nothing could have less on Tuesday January 12th.The earthquake in Haiti devastated the little reconstruction that was done by the U.N. forces which are still controlled by the regional power with global intentions: Brazil.

  At the moment the country is trying to survive between the pouring in of humanitarian aid, the dispute over the returning hegemony in the region by the U.S., the limited capacity to install anything but extreme poverty, corruption and violence.

  It should be noted that the tragedy caused by the seismic tremor only worsened what was already horrible. Other quakes struck the region, in El Salvador and Mexico, and did not cause societal collapse - much to the contrary.

  The social disintegration of the poorest country in the Americas is also the result of predatory behavior directly influenced by the U.S. It is impossible to understand what is happening today in Haiti…
