Rousseff yet to decide on US visit
Press TV – September 7, 2013
Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff says she will decide on whether to call off her visit to the United States over allegations of Washington’s spying on her based on President Barack Obama’s full response.
On Friday, Obama said that his administration would work with the Brazilian and Mexican governments to resolve tensions over allegations of spying.
Obama met separately with Rousseff and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto on the sidelines of G20 international economic summit in the Russian city of St. Petersburg and discussed reports that the US National Security Agency (NSA) spied on their personal communications.
Earlier on Friday, Rousseff indicated she was not completely content with Obama’s assurances that the alleged spying on her communications by the NAS would be looked into during their meeting late on Thursday.
Rousseff added that the US president had agreed to provide a fuller explanation for the reported spying by September 11, and that she would decide whether or not to visit the US next month based in part on his response.
“My trip to Washington depends on the political conditions to be created by President Obama,” Rousseff told reporters on Friday.
Brazil’s TV Globo reported on September 1 that the NSA spied on emails, phone calls and text messages of Rousseff as president and Pena Nieto when he was a candidate.
The report was based on documents released by US surveillance whistleblower Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor.
Angered by the report, Rousseff and her government have asked for a more complete explanation of the alleged spying.
Brazil argues that counterterrorism or cybersecurity concerns did not sufficiently explain why the NSA would spy on Rousseff’s communications.
The Brazilian government has already canceled a trip by an advance team to prepare for Rousseff’s next month visit to Washington.
Rousseff is scheduled to visit the White House in late October to meet Obama and discuss a possible 4-billion-dollar jet fighter deal, cooperation on oil and biofuels technology between the two biggest economies in the Americas, as well as other commercial projects.

Does Kevin Barrett Seek to “Absolve Islam of a Terrible Crime”?
The Kevin Barrett-Chomsky Dispute in Historical Perspective – Last part of the series titled “9/11 and the Zionist Question”
By Prof. Tony Hall | American Herald Tribune | August 28, 2016
Amidst his litany of condemnations, Jonathan Kay reserves some of his most vicious and vitriolic attacks for Kevin Barrett. For instance Kay harshly criticizes Dr. Barrett’s published E-Mail exchange in 2008 with Prof. Chomsky. In that exchange Barrett castigates Chomsky for not going to the roots of the event that “doubled the military budget overnight, stripped Americans of their liberties and destroyed their Constitution.” The original misrepresentations of 9/11, argues Barrett, led to further “false flag attacks to trigger wars, authoritarianism and genocide.”
In Among The Truthers Kay tries to defend Chomsky against Barrett’s alleged “personal obsession” with “vilifying” the MIT academic. Kay objects particularly to Barrett’s “final salvo” in the published exchange where the Wisconsin public intellectual accuses Prof. Chomsky of having “done more to keep the 9/11 blood libel alive, and cause the murder of more than a million Muslims than any other single person.” … continue

Obama has no credibility when you remember his campaign rhetoric and look at his actions. It think if was self-delusion by most people, an empty promise to a disparate populous long under the embarrassment and abuse of the Bush cabal.
Well, several wars later, and the destruction internally of healthcare, education, environment, and the most vicious attacks on the Constitutional Rights of the American people, and violator in International law, including the Nuremberg Principles prohibiting war crimes and wars of aggression. Which is all Obama masters schooled him to carryout and he is following their unlawful orders, and by extension, so are government workers and Members of the United States Armed Forces.
Impeachment for treason should be topical, should be on the agenda in the House of Representatives. And with him, so much go his co-conspirators, both domestic and foreign; as enemies of humanity at-large. That foreign enemy is undoubtedly the sadistic state of Israel.
AIPAC is a criminal group that instigates wars of aggression, the key element from which all war crimes are manifested. Just refresh you mind on what happened in the case of the USS Liberty.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy2gkkp8Cl8&feature=gv
The fact that they got away with it, is why we are nearly World War 3 right now.

CORRECTION – Dead In The Water / The Attack On The USS Liberty By Israel
URL for a non-muffled audio is at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc7sOb7IsPY
You will discover the motive was to carry out a criminal conspiracy between President Lyndon Johnson and the Israeli regime, to carry out a false-flag operation to frame Egypt for the attack, which was designed to sink it, with a total loss of US lives. President Johnson was to, and did, order jets to head to Egypt to drop two hydrogen bombs on it.
Luckily, the crew survived and got a message out to the US naval fleet in the Mediterranean, and made the plot fall-through. A cover-up was ordered and held for decades, but it is out now. And so is the truth on 9/11 which is a duplication of conspiracy in a different place for a different war… or was it?
You have to understand that LBJ was tight with Israelis, and I see the cause and effect in the assassination of JFK. It is not a mere hunch, but a puzzle with enough pieces connected to be unmistakeably clear to me!
