UPDATE: *BRAZIL PRES. CANDIDATE CAMPOS DIES IN PLANE CRASH: GLOBONEWS
Brazil's stock market is reeling this morning as rumors and now news hit that Brazilian Presidential candidate Eduardo Campos was on board a private jet that crashed in the city of Santos. Polls had put Mr. Campos head-to-head with Ms. Rousseff (but behind Ms. Silva).
The type of plane he was flying:
A private jet carrying Brazilian presidential candidate Eduardo Campos crashed on Wednesday in the city of Santos, according to a source in Campos's political party.
The plane, a Cessna 560XL, lost contact with air traffic control as it was preparing to land, according to an Air Force statement. Television images showed smoke billowing from the crash site in a residential area of Santos.
A police official in Santos said there were "certainly" fatalities in the crash, but could not say how many or provide any additional information.
The party source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Campos' running mate, Marina Silva, was not on board the plane.
The crash site...

Campos' beliefs include:
He has pledged to expand social welfare programs introduced by rousseff’s predecessor Lula and scaling back government intervention in the economy.
Campos, born Aug. 10,1965, would propose a bill to grant the central bank full independence with fixed terms for its director, establish clear rules to regulate fuel and electricity prices, and seek to negotiate bilateral trade accords without the south american bloc Mercosur. Campos has also pledged to reduce red tape for businesses and citizens and cut by almost half the 39 federal ministries.
During his first six years as governor of the northeastern state of Pernambuco, homicide rates fell 39 per-cent and the economy grew 5.1 percent annually, faster than the national average of 3.7 percent.

The Economist provides some color on Mr. Campos:
EDUARDO CAMPOS is both modern manager and old-fashioned political boss. As governor of the poor, north-eastern state of Pernambuco, he has attracted private investment, brought private managers into state hospitals, introduced elements of performance-based pay for teachers and made some schools operate a full eight-hour day, rather than the four-hour shifts common in Brazil.
He is also the leader of the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) and had long been its presumptive candidate to challenge President Dilma Rousseff of the ruling Workers' Party (PT) in a presidential poll next year. One thing he lacked was national name-recognition. That started to change on October 5th, when the PSB announced an alliance with Marina Silva, a popular environmental activist and, like Mr Campos, former minister in the cabinet of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Two days earlier the country’s highest electoral court had refused to register the Sustainability Network, a party being set up by Ms Silva, on the grounds that it had failed to submit the 492,000 supporting signatures that new parties must collect.
Rather than join one of a shoal of tiddler parties or withdraw from the fray, she unexpectedly plumped for the PSB, splashing her and Mr Campos's faces on the front pages of newspapers and covers of magazines. The decision about which of them will challenge Ms Rousseff will be made early next year. Polls put Ms Silva ahead of Mr Campos in a head-to-head contest with Ms Rousseff (who beats both of them). Would Mr Campos settle for the vice-presidency?

Will there be an intermission today?
He must not have been friendly to US corporate interests!
Were there any Ukrainian rebels in the area?
Better yet, were there any USSA top political officials that died? Imagine the cheers from coast to coast.
Russian missle launchers ?
Obviously he pissed off the Tribe.
If you haven't watched it, go to utube a search for "Confessions of an Economic Hitman"... Quite eye-opening as this sort of crap is SOP for the banksters or corptocracies...
Non Jewish candidates should take care to travel only with an entourage of Rabbis.
PUTIN Must Have Been Involved !!!
Just a coinkydink. Don't be a conspiracy Brazil nut.
I wish I could could say I care, but I really don't.
SOP for centuries
I'm going to preliminary say this is no accident.
A NASCAR hothead at the stick
Are we talking about a presidential candidate or the Brazilian soccer team that crashed and burned?
both
That is aways the knee jerk reaction on ZH.
Brazilian Waxed.
You mean Brazilian Whacked
I've done one to pictures of the other.
My thought is always "who does this benefit?"
after a while themes may start to present themselves.
Strictly a guess, but I woud wager that he was pro-BRICS...
Hmm I guess Brazil ran out of nailgunz... :>D
Yep, we are way beyond economic hit men now.
Another US Jackel taking care of business as usual....move along nothing to see here...go to a baseball game, eat a hotdog, hamburger, and drink lots of soda and beer so your gut gets nice and big so you have all types of health issues, but don't worry their is a pill for that.
Just a friendly hint from me to all of you, if you ever become important stay away from planes.
And
Don't use cell phones. Have someone else make calls for you.
Don't use credit cards. Pay for everything with cash.
And....
Take the train. And make sure you own that too.
Anyone ever seen the Will Smith film "Enemy of the State"? There is no where to hide and no where to run unless you are completely off the grid...
lock all power tools up and throw away the key; oh, and drain your hot tub.
Stack your wealth in things with intrinsic value and take frequent boat trips...
Avoid the Mercedes cars with the 'inferno' option.
Never go into a building higher than 1-story.
I have news for you Fred.You don't need to be that important.
I had a senior partner at a big four accounting firm ,give me a telephone number
to resolve a business dispute the" old fashioned way".
I was almost tempted.
"Big 4" !!!!!!!
Yea!
And then there were 3.........................
And Mercedes. They explode on impact. If you're important enough go with something safer.
I think it's another banker suicide.
The important thing is that no nailguns were harmed in the making of this news.
Another BULLISH piece of news
I estimate this will add 5 to 10 points to the SP500
Fuckin putin
so how'd this guy feel about the BRICS competition to imf, I wonder...
Wonder what our market would do in the same senario? Oh wait, it only goes up, my bad.
smells fishy
You know my wife?
We all do.
Tastes like chicken, right?
Wherever there is a bad smell, the same maggots always appear.
In its statement Wednesday, the ministry wrote: “The Brazilian government considers as unacceptable the escalation of violence between Israel and Palestine. We vigorously condemn the use of disproportionate force by Israel in the Gaza Strip, which resulted in an elevated number of civilians victims, including women and children.”
The statement mentioned neither Hamas nor any other offensive actions by Palestinians.
Israel also condemned the Brazilian statement.
“This is an unfortunate demonstration of why Brazil, an economic and cultural giant, remains a diplomatic dwarf,” Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor told The Jerusalem Post. “The moral relativism behind this move makes Brazil an irrelevant diplomatic partner, one who creates problems rather than contributes to solutions.”

Rancid, like elciad.
whats with these plane crashes and people of influence?...how weird, i wonder why this happens.
Remember that Polish plane going down with the entire cabinet aboard?
Two months ago - David Rockfeller's doctor son flew down from Maine to have dinner with his satanic father in NY. His private plane crashed on take off when he left with him at the controls. That was surely a hit. The old man is satan and this is probably the only child that wanted anything to do with him.
He is 92 or something. You kill him - he does not care. You kill his son and that hurts.
Don't forget the grandkids.

Soros is Satan's brother
As accidental as a self-inflicted nail gun shot to the back of the head and stomach I'm sure.
I suggest Rand Paul doesn't fly if he stands at the next election.... if there is one.
And Nig....in the UK.....take notice, buddy.
Nigel survived once, they won't make that mistake a second time.
musta been anti-bankster
How much CO2 is this going to save the world....how many tons....that is what the Leftys should be talking about...1 less jet...and a few humans that are not increasing Global Warming...that is what Brazil wants to know
John Perkins didn't even get a chance to corrupt him... CIA jackals are working first these days?
The missing link is:
http://larouchepac.com/node/31475
Seems like he's a NWO puppet. The good guys needed to take him out of the picture.
Was he Wellstoned?
Only if his memorial service is turned into a campaign rally.
Was he the anti-petrodollar candidate?
If he was friendly with the de-Dollarization group, he was marked to Go. And a message is being sent to other S.Am. leaders.
TPTB have a replacement for him.
The skies aren't so friendly any more.
Planely, breitbarted ?
The only thing good about private-jets is they increase the odds of killing off the smart-n-savvy sociopaths.
If only, a bright rising star out of the most thoroughly corrupt state in America, a staggering loss, Chope died, . . . . . the epitaph would have been as sweet as breast milk to my ears (for those of you who have sampled that during sex you know what I'm talking about, for those of you who don't, you won't know until you try it)
Lol "as sweet as breast milk to my ears "
I taste the sound of it.
sweet milk is GOOD stuff brah, right there with you!
grassroots electioneering: consolidate the vote
What is the Real doing?
This isn't really going to be a problem unless Aécio Neves is no longer on the ticket...
this is not an israeli matter.
the knesset have no view on this act of rothschild satanism
anti-NWO guys just took out Rothschild dark horse.
This article is a little unclear and inaccurate. Campos is the third place candidate. He is a socialist and draws support from the same side of the political spectrum as Rousseff. Aecio Neves is the main opposition candidate. Rousseff polls about 40%, Neves polls about 20%, and Campos is at 10%. Campos death makes it more likely that Rousseff could get to 50% and avoid a runoff. In a head to head runoff, Neves is behind by about 6 points. He has no chance to win in the first round because of all the smaller party candidates.
"Campos, born Aug. 10,1965, would propose a bill to grant the central bank full independence with fixed terms for its director, establish clear rules to regulate fuel and electricity prices, and seek to negotiate bilateral trade accords without the south american bloc Mercosur."
That smoking gun before his ill-timed fate certainly puts the "B" in BRIC!
By the way does anyone know the fate of John Brennan at Langley over the torture debacle and his lying before Congressional hearings?... Knowing President Lance Link I'm sure that if the Firm was involved and successful in rubbing Campos out -he'll get a reprieve for "torturing some folks"...
Gawd, I think "Lance Link" is better than my Bath House Barry moniker.
+100
Looks like he was "BRIC'd"
Watch for more of this...
This smells like the crash of Sen Paul Wellstone
Apparently Campos's plane crashed when landing during heavy rain in Santos.
Do not.
Information he lunged.
I know the area, I was born in Santos.
Airport was Air Base helicopters and is in Guarujá-SP (married in that city).
If he lunged towards SO / NO and made curve at low altitude the left, passed over the dump.
There are many vultures (black, larger than chicken) in the region.
Witnesses said the turbine was on fire.
OK, thanks. I'm not sure why he would lunge anywhere, but I think you're saying he may have taken a hit from a vulture. That would probably bring down a Cessna.
I don't know that airport, but I've landed at GRU (SP) about 14 times in the past three years.
Ok, also flying two or three times a year Goiania Guarulhos.
SSW distance from Guarulhos to Santos Airport (regional) is 58 Km (qulômetros).
I believe that the press is not talking about vultures and garbage dumps afraid to just create panic in the international press.
I'm honest, I'm afraid to get down with rain at Congonhas. The track is very short.
Flying is a necessary evil.
My father always said:
I'm not a "seaman" (sailing offshore) or "araújo" (walking on air) - no way to translate that pun.
hehe.
SE/NW
Just finished reading "Confessions of an Economic Hitman". Apparently the book came with live illustrations.
White van...
White Jet...
IT'S A ACCIDENT OKAY!!!
Student Yes, I believe it is an accident.
The Cessna was manufactured in 2010 or 2011, brand new.
Certificate valid until 2015.
All revisions made, seriously leasing.
Fatality.
this is bullish for brazil/ewz/pbr/vale/whatever.. because it consolidates support behind the other front runner Aecio
3 of those buildings will fall down at any moment.
The BOVESPA may be reeling but the R$ rose sharply after the news:
http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=BRL&view=1D
He should not have been flying over Ukraine.
" . . . . central bank independance."
Well, now we know why "the boys" killed him.
He must have been Depressed?
Must be running out of nail guns in Brazil...
Should not have been flying that rust bucket.
"It's too late, assholes. All your imperial lies can't save him now. Tell this to the people, when they ask where your leader went! We the workers of the United Liberation Front, in the name of the workers, have struck a fatal blow against the racist police state."
Guess he should have sprung for the orange escape pod option instead of the velvet dingle ball window trim and the crown air freshener on the dash.
Torrijos, Roldos, Campos rhymes with the war drum beat.
Didn't JFK want to put a leash on the Corrupt Banking System?
I know the area, I was born in Santos.
Airport Air Base was a helicopter until recently.
In fact the airport is in Guarujá-SP.
The plane was arriving from Rio de Janeiro, probably picked up the bedside the Southeast.
Lunged, turned left and passed low over a rubbish dump where there are many vultures (birds that eat carrion - are larger than a chicken).
Free and independent..
I will say something else to you:
Lots of people are crying because of this accident.
They say losing a plane and kill only one candidate is prejudice.
The plane should be at full capacity of politicians.
hehe.
Carbonmutant:
Aetius Neves is representative of the new world order, candidate of the banksters.
Dislikes Dilma but will know how international politics and, if another representative of the NWO take command of Brazil, Fernando Henrique Cardoso as neoliberal - and the scum of the PSDB party that are encrusted another twenty years in most industrialized state of Brazil (São Paulo), we are screwed.
Goodbye BRICS.
Viva IMF, will be a great Argentina.
Statesmen as Lula, Putin, Dilma Rousseff, Getúlio Vargas, Charles Degaulle only appear from time to time.
The great statesman who was in the United States was shot in the head (JFK), before it only Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Better stay here.
You know your homeland.
