May 27, 2011 by · View Comments
Canguru held this talk during the 2nd Jogada in Västerås Sweden. Here is is an excerpt of his own post about it: My name is Craig Blackburn (Canguru). I am a social entrepreneur who uses capoeira as a tool to improve the lives of disadvantaged young people in Cornwall, England. In April, 2011 I was invited to a capoeira event in Västerås (Sweden) to talk about my work. The effect of this visit on my professional life was so powerful that I felt compelled to pass on my thoughts. So here we go. …” For more in his talk and work please visit ‘The New Era of Social Capoeira’ over the 4CapoeiraThoughts blog.

believersunderground on the World bank con: www.youtube.com Princess of The Netherlands Máxima Zorreguieta (UN special advisor on micro finance), dressed in UN blue for the occasion, explaining the new con of the World Bank: micro loans for the ‘Third world’ (January 2010). She’s married to the son of Queen Beatrix. Current Queen Beatrix (together with Queen Elizabeth) is the major stockholder in Shell Corp. and daughter of Bilderberg group founder Prince Bernhard, a German Nazi, and betrayer of the Dutch people in WW2 (there was a plan of becoming the head of the ‘Dutch province’ within the Third Reich) Máxima Zorreguieta’s father was a junior minister of Agriculture in the Argentinian fascist Videla regime. Mr. Zorreguieta shared the same extreme ideology that was put into practice with dictatorships in several Latin American countries (Chile, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru etc), with the support of the United States and the West, coordinated by several intelligence services. “Operation Condor” was carried on by which all those opposed to these ideas were ELIMINATED (by being tortured to death or by being drugged and dropped into the ocean by planes/heli’s) She is notorious for stating that “the Dutch culture does not exist.” I only watched once, that’s more than I can take.
