Lula: Rich countries to blame for food crisis

[coringa2x2]

sorry aparently i cant put links so search: Documentary: Agri-ecological Sugarcane Zoning in Brazil on youtube

[coringa2x2]

For who says that brazil is waisting territory that could be used for food plantation with sugarcannes as fuels, Brazil uses only 1% of its territory to do it. and still can feed the world... for who does not belive that below goes a link wich proves it (video)

[coringa2x2]

these bastards were actually furius... Because when the shit comes down and it WILL belive me!!! Will be a huge penalty for those who most used oil such like USA CHINA RUSSIA... this will be around 2040 or so.. By there Brazil will have reached 90% of renewable energy and will be the 4th largest ecomomy behind only India... So this fine will will result in either two things.: Brazil will pay almost 0% of the fine and so some countries or the world will go on crisis and inevitably WAR.

[MrGodisgood11]

Lula is a theif he must shut his mouth

[coringa2x2]

@MrGodisgood11 and u are prrobably probably from a undeveloped country which is not as prosperous as Brazil and knows nothing about politics...

[spigknot]

LULA is aways blaming the rich, always. He is a complete jackass. I am ashamed of having him as my country's president

[Ethopiapride77]

@spigknot why dont u suck lu la dick..blah! blah! blah! shut the fuck up...is was the best president period..

[spigknot]

@Ethopiapride77 ahhahahahhaa

why do you classify him as the best? because he has a cool metaphor collection? hahahahah

he didnt offer anything new to the count. Except for more populism and the most corrupt government of Brazil's history

[Ethopiapride77]

@spigknot his resume:D speaks for it all.. stop bashing lu la because u dont agree with some of his policies..he was a good president for many middle and poor class brasilians ~period why dont u like him is it becasue he speaks the "truth" and says whatever is on his mind without thinking how other would judge him.. well those are some gud qualities that i admire in him he was a good leader..i wish he was still in office, a woman in the office signs of trouble...

[spigknot]

@Ethopiapride77

he was "good" for the lower classes and bank owners. Middle class got raped really bad

His "policies" were Bolsa Familia, giving the feeling to the low class that it was participating in the economy and treating them like caddle to farm votes. Those people don't want free money though. Brazil's people want to be EMPOYED and feed their families with work and dignity. I wish poverty problem would be solved with such primitive policies

[spigknot]

@Ethopiapride77

These bravados he has every time are nothing to be proud about. And no I am not white with blue eyes. I just hate the fact that Lula creates anger between social classes, instead of keeping the people together and promote understanding. In Brazil many people think the middle class people are devils or smtg like that, when they just worked hard

Not proud of a president who always recalls to his past and cries for being poor when a kid,not for millions of hungry kids out there

[spigknot]

@Ethopiapride77

not to mention Brazil's average growth during Lula's government was lower than the world's average (About 3%). Despite his cheap demagogy, out of all the presidents Lula had one of the worst results with economy, even being so lucky to inherit a country free from the bad inflation problem we had, etc

[spigknot]

@Ethopiapride77

not to mention he is not poor anymore. Now his son became the coutry's 2nd most succesfull businessman and Lula has 600.000 cattle units; all that in 8 years of presidency (funny he doesnt mention it ¬¬)

[TheMsalquimia]

Lula shame yourself aboug Battisti, Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Fidel help and company. Why you don't give support for Cuba prisioners or to Sakineh.

[persia1324]

the only thing that commus love to is to have a big governmnet . a big governmnet with all the powers in hand to manage everyone.

[persia1324]

compare the expenditure of a socialist country with a free world . how much subsidazing exist in this countries. Subsidize is an arm in commus hands to eliminate their political arversaries

[persia1324]

no mr, lula , that is ur fucking socialist idea that takes away the wheat from poor, subsidizes a shit on its production and sells back that bread to him with higher price. Fuck you Commu

[persia1324]

bitch communist , with that fagot red tie.

[aclarindo]

PRESIDENT LULA IS THE BIGGEST LIAR EVER !!! HIS POLITICAL PARTY IS FRIEND OF FIDEL CASTRO, EVO MORALES, HUGO CHAVEZ AND FARC. FARC IS THE TERRORIST COLOMBIAN GROUP RESPONSIBLE FOR EXPORTING COCAINE TO AMERICA , EUROPE AND AFRICA. THIS IS THE REAL PRESIDENT LULA. A MAN WHO PRETENDs TO BE FRIEND OF THE POOR WHEN ACTUALLY HE´S THE BOSS OF A BIG MAFIA CALLED "PT", HIS POLITICAL PARTY. LULA SPEAKS REALLY BAD PORTUGUESE AND THATS WHY THE POOR PEOPLE THINKS HE IS ONE OF THEM, A BIG FRIEND.

[Kryptonian250]

Rich Countries? Lula does not know what he's talking about.

[loraodosamba]

@Kryptonian250 yeah he knows wath he's talking about. Man, i live here, i know what is this land - everthing grow. But, the big farmers don't let space for the familiar agriculture ( lula's goal ). Look, i live in Rio de Janeiro, the great majory of the food come from the north, by ROADS, but here (Rio) we have a lot of lands in the hands of the capitalists. LULA AND CHAVEZ AND THE SOCIALISTS WANT THIS LANDS FOR THE PEOPLE!! WHY NOT? there is a facist and cinic answer: the right of property.FUCK

[appieification]

what about africa that's a big country too you know and brazil will not get underpaid to feed the richest countrys no we got are owen mouth to feed

[LVMartel]

@appieification Africa is not a country. It is a continent made up of many countries; Congo, South Africa, Nigeria, Zambia etc...

[loraodosamba]

@LVMartel euahUEHAUHEUAHEA incredible!

[appieification]

haha...yeah right brazil has all the land and give everything the work hard for to give it all away to border countrys no ... no way in brazil people are still starving from hunger, the farmer will not again work hard for those rich countrys to only ive they get a nice payceck ! wouldnt you ?

[POINTOFCONVERSATION]

LOOK MY VIDEO

[blackbelttt]

LULA IS THE GUY!

he's right! Lula is changing Brazil, after so many years of bad administration and corruption! he's saving lives from the death helping poor people in Brazil...

congratulations LULA!

[blackbelttt]

LULA IS THE GUY!!!

[2MakeTheDifference]

God bless you President Lula.

Thanks for speaking the truth.

The poorest are the ones who help the most. It's always been like this.

[Qwerty1233210fwdfgg]

Brazilian people have to work arround 9 months each year to pay taxes to keep this decadent country going very slowly. Lula is a shame to Brazil and a shame to the world economy. A corja que comanda o Brasil está levando todos pra miséria. A classe média está cada vez mais pobre. O Brasil como economia e administração é uma vergonha.

[nonameposter]

Taxes = education, health care, justice,....

I would like to pay even more taxes, like in Sweden. Poverty must be stopped.

[AnaFemeel]

@Qwerty1233210fwdfgg you are elitist ... I bet you liked President Fernando Henrique Cardoso .... SHUTUP devil ..... What Lula for Brazil any President could ....... fuck the Serra

[jen581c]

@Qwerty1233210fwdfgg nao esqueca do mensalao, do dinheiro nas cuecas, do filho dele que ficou milionario do dia pra noite, dos ministros que eram seus bracos direitos, todos afastados, agora a proxima candidata eram envolvida com as FARCS. Ele eh bem visto la fora, mas agora acho que comecaram a perceber a coisa toda desde que ele fez acordo com um ex-terrorista Iran.

[msperling]

Lula is a grat guy, but this time he is wrong.

Spreading ethanol in the world is a wish of the brasilian rural oligarchy, dislocating other cultures to the amazon forest, concentrating earth in the hand of a few, and threathening our food souveranity.

[Qwerty1233210fwdfgg]

Actually you made a mistake .

Lula is NOT a great guy. He is an ignorant, and even can not speak right portuguese. Is a bad leader and a terrible president. A big big MISTAKE for Brazil.

He is the kind that all the time will blame rich people because of his bad and poor child time. This kind should never be in the power.

[msperling]

Well, you must be one of thouse rich people, that you talk about. Maybe for some other people, he is doing the right things.

[sgcamaral]

@Qwerty1233210fwdfgg You are the big ignorant here, my friend. To ignore is to unknown, and you clearly dont know how to speak english. "and even can not speak right portuguese" Dont you mean "well"? Should Lula take classes with you, then? And you know whats worst? I bet you're a young middle class brazilian that skipped your expensive english class to go do something stupid. Dude, stop repeating things you hear and dont understand.

[SuperOpenyoureyes]

he is right !

[guilhermeny]

LULA,

KISS MY ASS!

[DiegoDissenha]

Get fucked Yanky little bitch. Yall are Bananas to the rest of the world... Mom's boy!

[mrsnuglles]

Brazilian ethanol is produced form sugar(planted mostly in northeast region of brazil.the only thing that gorws there is sugar and cocunuts,so theres no real harm to food production.)the cause of the food crysis is the american ethanol, made from corn. corn is not only food, but is its also used to produce food for animals.

[omyraportaloflight]

Yup your right and now law makers are trying to pass a bill to restrict farmers on organic home grown food!!!

[xzKyouzx]

There are farms in Brazil as big as whole countries such as France.

Brazil alone has enough food to feed the 6 billion people in the world. Producing ethanol won't damage people's life, but help.

[vilter1]

the evil empire is going down...

america is going down...

stupid american dream, put in your ass barak obama monkey,

is the end, my only friend, the end...

[Fleur114]

United States will 1 day complete there Quest for World Domination. Hitler tried but failed. But America will PREVAIL. JK lol United States is still the best country in the world

[edup12]

What an utterly stupid, unintelligent man. We got rid of him very soon.. he makes me sick to my stomach. how was he in office for 6 years? This man is a fucking idiot .Lula is evil leftist and a liar!! Our president is an idiot im ASHAMED!!!!

[turkeyjurker]

the UN can go piss into the wind they cause more problems than they solve.

[edup12]

Lula is an asshole stupid!! If you think Bush is an idiot, this is because you never heard Lula's speeches. Lula is completely dumb!! I am brazilian.

[caveden]

Nevertheless during the government of this "stupid" the poors quality of life considerably increased, and the increase in the consumer market pushed the country to a growth of 5,4% last year - something quite high for Brazil.

[algs229635]

O seu porra louca por favor leia o comentario do caveeden ,espero que ser estupido não é ser burro ok

[Warrivar]

when you end a sentance with "i am (insert nationality besides US here) chances are your a wanker in the states wasting time defending a man who is long overdue for a bullet in the head.

[BJJ415N]

[ecfeitosa]

Edu U R Dumb By Nature !

[MrEclectik]

There is absolutely no good reason to ban hemp. You can't get high off it. Politics as usual.

[asperin]

Hemp is a fuel/food/fiber that is being banned in the USA.

Very useful stuff.

[gmfutube]

Hemp could solve this problem. It would provide much more fuel per acre than corn and is not the heavy feeder that corn is.

[Warrivar]

hey thats true! farmers wouldnt have to trade off food crops, thats a good idea

[gmfutube]

Hemp can produce biomas for fuel, seed for high quality oil that can be used for everything from food to plastics.

The 15 acres I have in pulp-wood timber takes 25 yrs to harvest. On the same ground I could grow 2 hemp crops a year.

[Hipshot60]

POTHEAD ! ! ! !

[gmfutube]

Moron!

[pongman]

Well since Brazil doesn't have a problem with patent infringement ( a few years ago they made Microsoft software open source and also made Aids drugs without paying the drug companies)I think Brazil should do the honorable thing and make the fertilizers and donate it to the poor countries like Haiti so that they can grow the foods that they need. Now don't get me wrong but if it will help end starvation, to hell with DuPont and Monsanto they can sue Haiti later.

[caveden]

I never heard about this Microsoft code being opened (aren't you confused with the news that some years ago some sectors of the government decided to change proprietary software they used for open source ones?). The drug thing is true though, and Brazil is not the only country that did it, India made it even more strongly I heard.

[pongman]

Yeah your correct. I couldn't remember off hand but it had to do with open sourcing.

[MrEclectik]

Wa wa wait.. please don't blame Brazil for the food crisis. They grow sugarcane to turn into fuel. Last time I checked sugar was not a critical food. They are trying to become energy independent and they are doing a damn good job. The oil mob probably hates them since their powers have minimal effect on Brazil. These rich bastards could probably feed the world over if they wanted to. Don't blame Brazil for not being slaves to oil like us and others.

[iceddante]

Lula dismisses the Ethanol concern because food-fuels bring in more money than food crops. But what do they do in the way of food security? No- Lula is wrong. Brasil needs to focus on being more self-sufficient (as do many countries, including the US).

[crazycatfguy]

The point is that ethanol is the same alcohol in your beer. It is made cheaply and efficiently from high sugar content crops like sugar cane and sugar beets and using corn and soybeans is not an efficient way to make it and it needlessly take away food from people.

[DreamOfTurtles]

Lula is frankly pathetic, blaming manufacturers of fertilizers.

If anything, he should be fostering biotech and research for fertilizers in his own country.

But he is all about making these rhetorical maneuvers or political speeches void of content. He is well known in Brazil for this, and often criticized in the press - but it works, it gets him votes. The scapegoat technique works.

[teemuruskeepaa]

I doubt what what you said because it fits into the rightist profile to deny rhetoric in favor of pragmatism, which is often socially injust.

[historywillabsolve]

actually he's right. lula is a hypocrite. i remember him taking IMF loans and then posturing for the cameras, trying to make it look as though he was snubbing them. he had a hand in this crisis by collaborating with US multinationals, and now he's trying to shift the blame for his insane policies. condi rice was saying the same thing a few days ago.

Lula is a worthless slug

[teemuruskeepaa]

Well he is not going anywhere so its better to learn to respect your differences. And they liked him at the conference with hugs and smiles.

[teemuruskeepaa]

The western patriarch are delusionally wrong. They have a narrow mindset with their omnipotent and pre-eminent rich corporations.
