*The President of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff announces publicly the creation of
a world internet system INDEPENDENT from US and Britain ( the “US-centric
internet”).*

*Not many understand that, while the immediate trigger for the decision
(coupled with the cancellation of a summit with the US president) was the
revelations on NSA spying, the reason why Rousseff can take such a historic
step is that the alternative infrastructure: The BRICS cable from Vladivostock,
Russia  to Shantou, China to Chennai, India  to Cape Town, South Africa  to
Fortaleza, Brazil,  is being built and it’s, actually, in its final phase
of implementation.*

*No amount of provocation and attempted “Springs” destabilizations and
Color Revolution in the Middle East, Russia or Brazil can stop this
process.  The huge submerged part of the BRICS plan is not yet known by the
broader public.
*

*Nonetheless it is very real and extremely effective. So real that
international investors are now jumping with both feet on this
unprecedented real economy opportunity. The change… has already happened.*

Brazil plans to divorce itself from the U.S.-centric Internet over
Washington’s widespread online spying, a move that many experts fear will
be a potentially dangerous first step toward politically fracturing a
global network built with minimal interference by governments.

President Dilma Rousseff has ordered a series of measures aimed at greater
Brazilian online independence and security following revelations that the
U.S. National Security Agency intercepted her communications, hacked into
the state-owned Petrobras oil company’s network and spied on Brazilians who
entrusted their personal data to U.S. tech companies such as Facebook and
Google.
