Again . . . read slowly and contemplate the meaning of each word
and then together as a whole. I said that my chances (and rights)
are much, much better south of the equator (then they are here
in this country at the moment.) I don't plan on moving there -
but will do everything within my power, to bring it back to
the proud republic it once was or die trying in the process.
I also believe that Obozo will attempt to enact the provisions
of the N.D.A.A. more fully before his term is supposed to be up.
It also wouldn't surprise me in the least, if a number of our members
here on H.T., just up and vanished - never to heard from again.
Hope that was clear enough to understand.
Nearly positive the N.S.A. does now.

In your world, you'd rather see a suspect shot on sight, verses getting a trial, that may or may not be 100% fair?
You are correct, that Brazil certainly does have more "freedom" than America does.
That's one of the benefits of being a lawless, third world country.

Widespread violence perpetrated by criminal gangs and abusive police plague many Brazilian cities. In Rio de Janeiro, for example, drug gangs routinely engage in violent crime and militias composed of police, jail guards, firefighters, and others have been implicated in far-reaching extortion schemes.

Not sure why you had to mention Obama, or the NSA,   since they were not relevant to the OP. but since you did, you realize that a wonderful as Brazil sounds, has similar (or worse) problems as we have here.

In 2002, at his fourth attempt, Lula was elected president. In part his victory was derived from the considerable unpopularity of Cardoso's second term, which failed to decrease the economic inequality, and in part from a softening of his and the party's radical stance, including a vice-presidential candidate from the Liberal Party, acceptance of an International Monetary Fund (IMF) accord agreed to by the previous government and a line of discourse friendly to the financial markets.
Despite some achievements in solving part of the country's biggest problems, his term was plagued by multiple corruption scandals that rocked his cabinet, forcing some members to resign their posts.

Brazilian Intelligence Agency
Quote:

In 1995 President Fernando Henrique Cardoso placed a civilian at the head of the SAE and subsequently created ABIN. Like many other Latin American nations, Brazil faces the challenge of having to overcome a long history of involvement by the military and their related intelligence arms in domestic politics. Early on, ABIN was tainted by a wiretapping and influence peddling scandal that led to the agency being placed under the direct control of the President and the Institutional Security Cabinet rather than being responsible to the national Congress. This had once again undermined the attempt to reduce the influence of the military on Brazilian intelligence agencies and their practises.
