I find it amazing that a person from the US dares to put her nose into issues of another nations. She should mind her own business, because we all know that it's pure against development against Brazil. They do not want Brazil to develop and will search for everything to stop it. Good news is, Brazilians are aware of it. Belo Monte is good for Brazil, the winner.

Al Jazera is a biased news channel sponsored by the british MI6 and US CIA.

Ken 'gluttony personified' Green there says, "There will always be some people who are not satisfied with an outcome". I am sure he is someone who has never been one of those "some people". As well, it's precious when he says, "There are issues of the state taking money and not giving it to the indigenous people even though they promised to do so. We unfortunately live in an imperfect world." Wonder if that would still be his attitude if he was not paid money that he was entitled to.

@Niraet perfect statement. She is just very irresponsible and has absolutely no idea of what she is talking about.

Next time I see this american girl talk about Brazil I will break my computer screen. Honestly. I am outta here. I wanna see her talking about the 13 COAL power plants that have just been approved to be built in Texas just this year. Check the WORLD ENERGETIC MATRIX and you will see very easily in your face WHO IS TRASHING THIS PLANET.
