Reply #1: Even the BBC is starting to write like the Associated Pukes!

"Wiretaps are common in Brazil..." Uh-huh. Some facts and figures, please. How bout numbers of Brazilian wiretaps vs. numbers of secret wiretaps ordered by Bush-Cheney (and the brazillian wiretaps they have running on our population looking for words like "democracy," "Quaker" and "protest.")

Five paragraphs down from the lede: "The agent, who was said to have provided the transcript, alleged that such illegal phone tapping was common."

Ah! It's an anonymous "agent" who "alleges...".

And the other source? "the BBC's Gary Duffy in Sao Paulo." And, although he has the decency to admit that wiretapping in Brazil "requires authorisation from a judge" (--unlike in the 'land of the free, home of the brave'), he does not provide facts and figures, citations of experts, or even a single additional example. What he does is give an impression--a fascist disinformation technique. When the BBC has to cite its own reporter as a source, and has no other source but an anonymous "agent," and no facts about how "common" wiretapping is in Brazil, the smell gets stronger.

I think it's possible we're looking at stage one of a Bush Cartel/U.S. Corpo psyops and dirty tricks campaign against Lula da Silva, who has had the balls to stand up against their psyops/dirty tricks campaign against Hugo Chavez and other leftist democrats in South America, and is a key leader of the movement toward a South American "Common Market" (not including the U.S.). There was also a huge oil find in Brazil, recently. Wherever there is oil, there are LIES, LIES and more LIES about the leaders who control it, and even--or especially--if they are provably elected democratic, leftist leaders running good, social justice governments.

Rafael Correa, president of Ecuador (member of OPEC, lots of oil; leftist, pro-people government), just had to purge the U.S. agents from his military. Lulu may have to do the same to the Bushbot moles in his government intel agency, if they are setting up shit like this, which I suspect is the case.

Whenever fascists--like Lulu's opposition in the legislature--use the word "concern" (or Corpo reporters use it for them, i.e. "the latest reports have raised concerns"), you can be fairly certain that they are speaking on cue, from a script given them by the perps of whatever psyops/disinformation sting is in progress. And when they use the word "democracy" (i.e., "Some opposition politicians ... " said that "the alleged spying was an attack on Brazil's democracy"), alarm bells should go off in our heads. Fascists don't give a fuck about wiretapping or democracy. They are would-be tyrants, oppressors, and torturers and murderers of leftists, the poor, the innocent and the helpless, as they have proven time and again in South America, and here. Their object is power and wealth. They are ruthless. They are without scruples. And, like here, they follow Rovian scripts.

When fascist fuckwads use the word "democracy," look out, because another Corpo resource war could well be what comes next.

This looks like the preliminary psyops: The sullying of the leaders who have control of the oil--and, in the case of South America, the very democratic, social justice-minded, and peace-minded leaders. This is a harder lie for the Bushwhacks to sell. They no doubt have many different black ops in progress to accomplish it. They started with Chavez; now they are extending to all the other leftist leaders who back Chavez in their common goals of real democracy and self-determination for Latin America.

Another Bushfuck method is "divide and conquer"--create confusion, accusations, civil conflct, civil war. There are a lot of oddities in this story, including why the head of the Supreme Court was having long phone conversations with the rightwing opposition (the BBC doesn't report on the content of the wiretap), and that Lulu's chief aide was a target of wiretapping, with the rightwing opposition then huffing and puffing about their "concern" for Brazil's "democracy." As happens here, these same self-righteous, hypocritical assholes are probably getting and using the wiretap reports for political or monetary gain. And the cover story is that it is "common" in Brazil. In any case, it is causing a ruckus, and seems aimed at making Lulu's administration look bad--as well as creating a climate of suspicion and finger-pointing, another Bushite specialty. Meanwhile, millions go hungry, and the social justice governments of South America are further distracted and hampered in their efforts to use their country's resources for the poor.

After the big recent oil find in Brazil, Lulu pledged to use the profits for education. Expect more disruption of his government and a more intense slander campaign.
