USA
Americans hate the truth and their health
In a move that is akin to complaining of newborn babies’ boring dinner conversation, I am despairing at the American of the species. Recent reports have demonstrated that US citizens trust less and less their own media. An astonishing 70% feel overwhelmed as opposed to informed. And more and more are watching Fox News. Less trust, more Fox. Which - you know - just startles me because everyone knows those at Fox News are renouned and esteemed truth-tellers. And by truth-tellers I mean bare-faced liars. Liars who -with every gasp of air they breathe - convert the air into lying fuel and then lie through their lying pincers. Pincers because I can reveal here, that the entire Fox news cast are actually Crab People posing as humans. That is a certified fact. And can we have this confirmed? Yes. Absolutely the Fox news cast are Crab People, and we have verified sightings of Fox reporters clearly showing they are actual crustaceans with hard outer shells. You heard it here first.(That was my impression of a Fox News presenter by the way).
Here’s a clip of Fox reporting the facts on a healthcare report that doesn’t actually exist like the great news agents they are. Facts on Fiction at Fox. (that should be their new slogan). Because while Americans are hating the truth, they are also hating their own health. Truth and health are burdens on society.
That statement is actually fact in America. (Fact in the non-Fox sense).
Some food for thought – There was a young chap on The O’Reilly Factor – parents killed in the 9/11 disaster - who believed the US should not attack Afghanistan. Quite a radical view at the time of airing. O’Reilly subsequently tore newly orphaned dude apart on air with slanderous comments. New Young Orphan was subsequently advised NOT to sue O’Reilly because –get this – you would have to prove O’Reilly didn’t believe what he was saying to get him done for slander. As O’Reilly demonstrates the traits of a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR i.e. actually believes the lies he tells, this would be nearly impossible to prove.
Jesus Wept.

(I) Happy (Love) 4th (Michael) July (Jackson)!
So, Happy July 4th everyone! And seeing so the US and the rest of the world has lost their favorite son, its kind of a bittersweet celebration by all accounts. 
But its fair to say that American pop culture has really taken a bashing this week with the loss of Farrah Fawcett also, so although I wouldn’t normally acknowledge American holidays, this one has a special poignance to it. And its means I can use it as an excuse to post another MJ tribute!! Speaking of which I went to the amazing Santa Marta favela - located a few hundred metres from el Christo which was the location of the shooting of the They Don’t Care About Us video. I timed the visit to coincide with the week anniverary of his passing, and left a single white rose as an vastly insubstnacial means to say thank you and I love you to my all time hero… .
So anyhoo, whilst there I drew the attention of some local kinder, and wouldntchaknow, after learning of my reason d’etre, they treated me to a little MJ dance off - t’was quite surreal! Looking out over the most beautiful view of Rio Ive ever seen, standing where MJ once stood, feeling like elation & heartbreak all at once - special memories being made right there y’all. So, as I was posting the images you see here, I was quite taken aback to see one of the kid`s is actually giving the hand salute for the Red Command (Comando Vermelho) drug gang (hence the c and V sign)!! WTF! This was happy Michaeling moments not trafficking! And I mean that literally and figuratively because Santa Marta was the first favela in Rio to be made traffick fee (and free internet as a ‘reward’) 
And for the record, its hella (sorry) nice to be able to wander around a community and not have to worry whose watching from where, being careful to not mention where you live etc. Funnily enough, when I returned home to Vidigal it seemed that things had returned to normality - normality being bandits everywhere! Like three times the normal amount like they’ve been either recruiting or cloning -one of the two - so as you can see in the pic I was feeling happiest I had in a long while! Well not plaesed that theres guns everywhere but … you know! So here’s tribute Estelle stylee to our all-time favourite American Boy, Michael Jackson, thinnly disguised as a celebration to American Independence! Nahaha!(And heads up to Kanye for, “feeling like Mike at his baddest!”)
Beijos! (Sasha)
