This video contains all the Brazilian monarchs (Portuguese Kings and Brazilian Emperors) starting at the time of Brazil’s discovery by the Portuguese navigator Pedro Alvares Cabral in 1500 (when the Colonial period started) through Brazilian independence (and the establishment of the Brazilian Empire – 1822) until the unfortunate proclamation of the republic by the Brazilian military, in 1889, thereby ending the greatest era of Brazilian history.

Love for Liberty Triggers my strong Opposition to Noam Chomsky’s Radical Neo-Socialist Worldviews
The communist ideology is based on an unrealistic, lofty and intangible set of goals which has consistently persuaded idealistic intellectuals to create powerful works in support of a so-called valiant effort to conquer the hearts & souls of millions of naïve, well intended individuals. There are many alleged “academics” who have been instrumental acting as agents of tyranny, but none has been as effective as the infamous, self-professed “anarcho-syndicalist” Avram Noam Chomsky, whose large number of essays in economics and political philosophy – many of which with elements of what I classify as “disinformation” (or, deliberately created false data embedded in factual, historical events in order to create dissent) – has contributed to a rising number of activists espousing a clear anti-Western Perspective.
Since Mr. Noam Chomsky’s strong opposition to the Vietnam War - articulated in his essay "The Responsibility of Intellectuals" which was extended in his “American Power and the New Mandarins” – he has become a well-known icon of anti-American libertarianism. An ardent critic of U.S. foreign and domestic policy, Noam Chomsky represents, in my view, one of the very first agents of a radical leftist underground global movement designed to gradually trigger a “mild dissension” among average citizens of Western Nations, with the objective of assisting the main secret agenda of some co-agents - members of international organizations - to beget the establishment of a Global Socialist government, a very dangerous goal which I consider REPUGNANT! Without any doubt, Chomsky is a dedicated activist advocating his self-declared libertarian socialist doctrine, the principles of which are hypocritically perceived as being grounded in the Age of Enlightenment, under the false premise that they embody "the proper and natural extension of classical liberalism into the era of advanced industrial society." Rather, I would contend that Mr. Chomsky’s position promotes the views of the above-mentioned neo-socialist global movement which intends to emulate Hugo Chavez on a global level, in order to take over the command of a future World Government under false liberal premises, thereby redistributing Western wealth whereas dismantling democratic institutions to control and oppress the people into a silent herd of politically compliant automatons!
Mr. Chomsky’s membership of the “Campaign for Peace and Democracy” (a New York-based organization that promotes "a new, progressive and non-militaristic U.S. foreign policy) and the “Industrial Workers of the World” international union (whereby workers should be united as a class and that the wage system should be abolished) not only confirm my above-stated views and his unquestionable position of a dangerous radical who should be monitored, and hopefully, STOPPED! In his published a book on anarchism titled “Chomsky on Anarchism” it has been stated: “Authority, unless justified, is inherently illegitimate and that the burden of proof is on those in authority. If this burden can't be met, the authority in question should be dismantled. Authority for its own sake is inherently unjustified”
Every legitimate humanitarian organization, along with malicious, politically motivated groups, advocating the noble objective of social justice & equality in a world of brotherly inter-cultural cooperation, harmony and peace generally include, less then idyllic agendas which deceitfully conceal the horrific secret agenda of tyrants-in-waiting, many of whom mentally imbalanced and potentially dangerous. Because Socialism invariably ignores or discounts humanity’s imperfect, egotistical and cruel nature, whenever left-wing authoritarian polities take over the reins of nation, the proponents of this devious political philosophy invariably unmask their true colors by oppressing, coercing, controlling, torturing and murdering millions of innocent victims who find themselves prisoners of a society awash with fear and helplessness, which, because of the inevitable and gradual implementation of censorship, is displayed to the world as a Potemkin of satisfied workers who are happily cooperating for the collective goals of socialism…
Consequently, because many strong minded militants and ideologically mobilized scholars support Mr. Noam Chomsky’ standpoint, they are also directly or indirectly supporting a secret umbrella of strongly anti-Western socialist factions. Given his systematic criticism of American foreign policy, primarily for including what he strongly accuses of double standards - preaching democracy and freedom in the one hand, while allying itself with non-democratic and repressive organizations (e.g. Augusto Pinochet), I counter that all major world powers – from ancient and recent history, including the former Soviet Union – could not possibly avail themselves of occasionally sacrificing fundamentally crucial long term national interest for temporary moral sacrifices, where one must reluctantly cast a blind eye towards questionable events where even the most cherished principles appear to have been forsaken. To be sure, the unfortunate need for such disagreeable dichotomies in international affairs are often indispensible in order a government (especially those with regional security obligations) to be poised for the furthering of peace and security throughout civilized society, never forgetting the overriding necessity to pursue whichever pathway that it may be required to fight the most implacable of all enemies: secular and religious totalitarianism (that is, socialism and Islamism).

MALEVOLENT HUMAN CALLOUSNESS -- Crueldade e Insensibilidade Humana
Ruthlessness has plagued human existence and driven its kind to exponentially greater levels of malignant deeds since the very inception of the species, when Neolithic men slaughtered one another, and managed to eradicate the Neanderthal sub branch of hominids after “stealing” a feeble fraction of their DNA through interbreeding. Although the amount of conflict was relatively inferior to all subsequent eras, possibly due to the
absence of land ownership, there have been sporadic anthropological findings evidencing massive brutality exerted by men upon its own kind. Hence, there is no doubt that the masters of this planet have always been capable of immeasurable cruelty, whereas developing ever more colorful, picturesque euphemisms, during the past few centuries, designed to justify conflicting hidden agendas, while concealing their wicked nature.
A thorough and reflexive analysis of eight millennia of history would suffice to persuade any honest observer that poetry, comedy and philosophy are beautifully conceived tools intended to circumvent and camouflage humanity’s vicious disposition and its dark mission to destroy planet Earth. Under these circumstances, we should conclude that the arts and literature depict scarcely more than the hypocrisy of a sentient species devoted to deliberately oppress its own brethren, while living under the pretense of its conceited, noble concepts.
Utilizing poignant terminology such as “humanism” and “civilization,” mankind has been victorious in a clever campaign to define itself as an intrinsically benign creature. Yet, there is a limit to how much intelligent individuals can be self-deluded
by well-orchestrated social masquerades; thereby cleverly masking from itself the overwhelming burden imposed by implacable mores dictated by the very society it has crafted, in conformity with shallow, unrealistic religious criteria...
Undeniably there are remarkable exceptions - outstanding entities capable of overcoming the innate limitations ordained by human condition, by shedding the rancid foundation of our hearts. These remarkable exceptions epitomize the “virtuous” icons eulogized throughout centuries of civilization, serving as valiant efforts to inspire the masses to rise above the confines of their sordid nature, in a desperate effort to trigger humanity into a new threshold of its evolutionary journey. Yet, this never ending parade of rare, desirable virtues scarcely achieve more than prompting an array of mythological characters in mystically devised allegories, labeled as “miracles” or “commandments” for the public to absorb either as “divine laws” or as comforting badges for better days to come…
Nonetheless, the crux of the matter rests upon the hard fact
that Human ruthlessness is just an inescapable quintessential part of its essence, and only eons of continuous evolution may perhaps permit our species to become something akin to the quaint images of all-loving and almighty gods, in very distant future. Yet, I daresay that because of men’s innate drive to incalculable atrocities, incapable of quenching their unstoppable thirst for blood, never heeding the brutality committed by their forefathers, there is scarcely any effort to heed history’s lessons and attempt to rectify unforgivable errors. To be sure, mankind has always been irreparably oblivious to past blunders, blindly obsessed with power and mercilessly deceptive, thereby assuring its own inevitable downfall. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that it may ever be capable of swerving from the current trail, and shall continue trotting along this atrocious pathway until the glorious moment when, as a gift to the Universe, it succeeds in eliminating the very last vestige of its pointless, fleeting presence from the surface of its home planet.
If only the Neanderthal men had emerged victorious and inherited the Earth to develop its own civilization, perhaps the planet would have had a gentler, kinder history over the past twenty two millennia, thereby affording this blue spec to keep on hovering, with abundant life across the infinity of time-space continuum.
