...link between between the imperative need for strategic minerals, indispensable for the maintenance of U.S.-led military-atomic power, and the massive purchase of land - usually by fraudulent methods - in Brazil's Amazonia ... To justify the U.S. air force's aerophoto excursions, the [Brazilian] government had previously declared it lacked the resources for the job. Again par for the course in Latin America: its resources are always surrendered to imperialism in the name of its lack of resources...
...there, space cadets, we at FlyBy just thought we'd wish you a happy 4/20 (4:20). While Harvard has a devastating lack of smoker solidarity, we still love walking by certain finals clubs on Mt.

Particularly telling was Obama's admission that he will struggle to deliver on two key issues of major importance south of the border: the sale of U.S. assault weapons and immigration reform. The statements played into the hands of skeptics who argue that despite the more liberal face, it is still business as usual for the gringo colossus. "There were...
