Brazillian Media is calling the Petrobras Scandal “the biggest corruption scheme in world history”.

” Dozens of senior managers of Petrobras and other companies have been arrested during the months long criminal investigation dubbed “Operation Car Wash.”

Federal prosecutors accuse Petrobras’ former executives of bribery and money laundering. The investigators say the managers illegally “diverted” billions from Petrobras’ accounts for their activities.

More than 80 people have been charged in connection with the scandal. “

The FB activity over this is striking. I've been using it as a teaching moment of the evils of socialism.

Some are paying more attention, but this is Brasil.

They've been dancing this one note samba for nearly a century.

I don't know why we don't take to the streets. Maybe that's what we need to do — have a general strike, then go out and protest.

Anyone care to bet how fast Obama would send out the troops and tanks if we ordinary people started rioting?

It appears the 'people' are growing more and more dissatisfied with their corrupt and greedy leaders across the world.

Nothing like that going on here in the land formerly known as "The land of The Free".

If this gets entirely out of hand, the Germans might have to send the soccer team back over to restore order.
