Brazil’s Belo Monte Dam to Displace Thousands in Amazon

it is of course a jackass project, environmentally destructive, hardly the best most efficient way to max out power production. 


given the displacement of so many people and their way of life it is a crime against humanity and the government of Brasil should be brought up on such charges before relevant tribunals


there is no good reason to build that dam in this day and age save for the profit of corporations and elites, scrounging money of the backs of their own people, piling huge, insupportable debt upon them.  it is a severe and rapacious form of exploitation of the people that no longer as any efficacy at all



such projects are chosen for reasons like:


huge projects for influential  construction conglomerates


the big banks love them for they incur great debt by the government, piled on the backs of ordinary people through the national debt


politicians love them because of the kickbacks from the banks, from big construction and all the corporations that make huge profits form such a project. 


costing billions many companies flourish and so feed the politicians in turn.


they solidify the revolving door policy between politicians, decision makers, academy, government and big business...all on the backs of the people who must work to pay the taxes used to pay off the debt


also to get the people off land big landowners want to steal, for far more land than is necessary for the project is taken at the same time.  also the environmental changes that take place from the new dam, are also profitable in the long run and those are also set aside for big business..especially tourism and resort construction..


disgusting and destructive opportunities for profit never end for the elites from schc projects...but are endlessly expensive for the people.


it is time to end capitalism  that business model is old and out of sync with current knowledge of the world and human expertise.  to continue to make profit capitalism must continue doing business in this old nasty, stinking, destructive - as in environmentally unsound - and pointless ways...literally destroying nations and ultimately the planet, just for the profit of a small minority of humans who now dominate world society.


it is time to toss the business model and those who control it.  lock up a lot of them too for crimes against humanity :police: :police: :police:
