It seems the ideal situation for some who would like to see Brazil reigned into their plans.

It is just not fair. The UN should confiscate the games and redistribute it to America, they are in dire need of the stimulus and Brazil will not miss it anyway - it is only fair. [sarcastic]

Wondering more along the lines of how the tptb will have their hands in this.

With this being such a strategic location and the chance seemingly being presented to them on a platter. :rolleyes:

You're right that Brazil is definitely not playing the world government game, but I think they're going to need more convincing than the 2016 Olympics to go along with the plans.

To be honest, I'm not sure there will be a 2016 Olympics.

There was no luck involved... I have searched the internet and found the following information about the bid.

"I remember when all it took was cash and hookers to get the IOC to vote for your city...if that were still the case, Chicago could only lose to one city. That is Rio."

"Too bad ACORN and it's 10 million affiliates don't get billions to operate in Europe. They could have pulled it off..."

"YO RIO, I'M REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU. IMMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT CHICAGO'S BID WAS ONE OF THE BEST OF ALL TIME"

"Jimmy Carter has come out as saying that Chicago lost the IOC bid for the sole reason that our president is black"
