I guess, today thousands of share holders were just applauding Mr Hurd... saying how brilliant he is, how great and enormous business man... capable of making their money rise like wild flowers in the fields....

But we, we know the truth, we know how hard was and still is to make this possible, how many people suffer and are affected by this simple two digit number...
And for what?

Watching this announcement, for me, did not triggered any moment of joy or proud... just brought my mind the people who was sacrificed already to achieve this numbers.... the sadness behind the measure... decisions and effects in the real people...

This can't be the right way

Banana's Portuguese Republic

Have you ever heard names like: Mário Crespo, TVI, Manuela Moura Guedes, Jornal Sol, and Eduardo Moniz…? 

I suppose not since they are Portuguese characters from the Media arena. So why are they so important that deserves some time from me?

Well, because I think they are a very good example of what is going on here at the moment… this country sitting in the far end of Europe… or maybe in the top of Africa… is busy at the moment, not with the poor’s, not with the unemployed, not with the average people that is paying the crisis and becoming new poor’s, not with the country economical situation that is almost like Greece…. No.

Portuguese politicians, the ones in charge and the others in the biggest parties, are all concerned because the media was able to show in public what they are doing, what they planed and how they really care about the people… or, better, what they don’t care!

And the main point is: somehow, Prime Minister was caught in some phone conversations under several investigations… and guess what, those tapes were archived by order of the General Public Promoter… 

Now they were unveiled by some journalist and guess what… those names I mentioned before were already part of the government plan to eliminate and step back some inconvenient journalist… which were delaying or pointing their main goals… control Media ( I guess, to avoid being exposed from their not so democratic undercover actions) J

Do you think Fidel is a bad guy? Or even Hugo Chavez?

At least they show what they are…

Here is have something more polite… we have Democratic Dictators…, who stole, manipulate, take ownership of all important jobs in key areas and rule the country at their will…

In the past they called this democratic way as “Banana’s Republic”, but now is more than that…
