Fachin, the discretionary one; Cármen, the maneuverer; and Lula, the reason for legality – Free!

"Long live my enemies! At least they cannot betray me." (Henry de Montherlant)

"Ingratitude is a form of weakness. I have never known a man of worth who was ungrateful." (Johann Goethe)

One could say that the actions contrary to the Constitution and to Lula's freedom by Judge Edson Fachin of the Supreme Court (SCT) fit within the thoughts of Henry de Montherlant and Johann Goethe mentioned above. And why? Because before being appointed by the legitimate president, Dilma Rousseff, who was deposed by a coup d'état criminally carried out by the right wing, Fachin also had the trust and support of Pedro Stédile, national leader of the MST (Landless Workers' Movement), as he was a lawyer for social movements, especially the Landless Workers' Movement.

Fachin is "furious," as the saying goes, because he has been systematically defeated in votes concerning the imprisonment or not of people who have been tried in the second instance, especially when it comes to votes in the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court. Fachin despotically resorts to underhanded tactics in the Supreme Court against his own peers.

The truth is that Judge Fachin, colluding in political strategies and aligned with the judges of the TRF-4 in their actions, decided, at his own whim—which is the same as Cármen Lúcia's—to decide in place of the Brazilian people whether Lula will be president or not. Unbelievably, judges and prosecutors decided to sequester Lula, so that he doesn't appear or speak to the public, because he is the favorite candidate to win the elections, as well as a politician who is not in the interest of the establishment, which is making billion-dollar deals with the illegitimate government of the coup plotters.

Moreover, Fachin and Cármen, along with Judge Luís Roberto Barroso, are currently the magistrates who have violated the clauses of the Constitution that underpin the Democratic Rule of Law, which is based on the constitutional principles of due process, the right to a full defense, and the presumption of innocence, meaning that no Brazilian can be imprisoned after a second instance ruling, as the Constitution proclaims. Therefore, the Constitution should be amended instead of making patches to prevent Lula from running in the 2018 presidential election.

However, Fachin, with Judge Cármen Lúcia as his main partner in maneuvers that contradict the letter of the law—since Cármen is the president of the Supreme Court and Fachin is the rapporteur for Lava Jato in the Supreme Court—in the name of I don't know "who" and to serve the interests of "someone," decided, in a discretionary manner, to continue the abuses and incongruities of Lava Jato. The police-like task force that has transformed itself into one of the main parties on the right.

The right wing, defeated in four presidential elections, is treating the political prisoner Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as if he were corrupt, without showing any evidence, because there is no evidence, since Lula never stole, according to dozens and dozens of witnesses and prisoners who testified to the fascists of Lava Jato and always said they had no knowledge of Lula's participation in wrongdoing. The exception is the former president of OAS, Léo Pinheiro, who had to change his versions, all lies and frivolous, to the robed henchmen of the Federal Police and the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office until he yielded to the pressure and accused Lula.

Weak and accustomed to the perks of his life spent dealing with state funds, the contractor couldn't stand prison and told the coup-plotting Federal Police and Federal Prosecutor's Office what those two corporations, with the souls and spirits of DOPS and DOI-CODI, wanted to hear, so that later, during the draconian process, they could imprison the greatest politician in Brazilian history in a vile, cowardly, and unjust manner.

This refers to state violence in the form of lawfare and command of the facts. Two excrescences of the law, just as Lava Jato is a jurisdictional excrescence, which reinstated the regime of exception in Brazil in the 21st century of the third millennium. Sleep with such a setback and noise. The truth is that Lula, a left-wing and labor politician, must be prevented by any means from running for president of the Republic.

In turn, the overseers of the big house are there to do the dirty work for the upper bourgeoisie. Only now they wear suits and ties and, in this case, they take advantage of the manipulation of the law, but the colonizing ideology is the same as that of the old colonizers, and this posture is practiced against the Brazilian people, who are seen as just cheap labor to serve the middle class and the rich, in addition to being opposed to the sovereignty of Brazil.

And why? Because a sovereign and independent country also means an emancipated and politically aware people. And that is precisely what the Brazilian bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie, with their slave-owning tendencies, do not want. It is clear, therefore, that the main enemy of Brazil and Brazilians is not internal, but external. A word to the wise is sufficient. Period.

The truth, I reiterate, is that the robed thugs (judges, prosecutors, and police chiefs) act and operate, along with numerous hegemonic sectors and segments of society, including the middle class, as internal colonizers since colonial times in Brazil, with the purpose of consistently and systematically combating any and all social and political movements of a nationalist and popular nature.

These reactionary sectors create barriers that prevent the implementation of measures that could even minimally distribute income and wealth. On the contrary, the right wing in Brazil and Latin America promotes coups d'état, persecution, and imprisonment, generally of nationalist and leftist politicians and activists. This is why these people are there: to impede the economic and social development of the country, as well as to obstruct the political and democratic process when they perceive that the right wing may again lose to nationalist, labor, and leftist forces. This happens, as history literally proves.

Furthermore, the motto or password of the right wing is the word "corruption," which will always be used to mortally wound its adversaries, according to the size of the enemy to be defeated. All popular Brazilian leaders have been accused of corruption by the corporate and coup-supporting media. Just look at the names: Getúlio Vargas, Juscelino Kubitschek, João Goulart, Leonel Brizola, Miguel Arraes, Lula, Dilma Rousseff, and all those who have implemented or are implementing public policies that serve the interests of the Nation.

Accusing the left of acting through corruption is the main weapon of the Brazilian right to conspire and consolidate coups d'état. This is the malpractice of the right wing, which, in reality, owns the banks, large rural and urban companies, the IT/internet, and the established powers, because the right owns the assets, including the media, which it defends tooth and nail.

However, incredibly, the "corrupt" ones are the left, according to the private business press of the media barons, who, together with the robed thugs, created the largest right-wing group in Latin America, and which is persecuting and arresting the main leaders of the largest party in Brazilian history, the Workers' Party.

The persecutory and coup-mongering process in Brazil is so blatant and shameless that the Supreme Court allowed one of the coup leaders in Congress, the imprisoned Eduardo Cunha, to carry out a criminal coup against the Nation, and to this day the Judiciary has not imprisoned a single corrupt member of the PSDB party, because the coup-plotting politicians from the PSDB, DEM, and PPS parties are unaccountable! And why? Because it's irrelevant!

Here in Brazil, this clique goes unpunished for its countless crimes. The PSDB party is shamefully shielded by courts of judges who have hijacked the Brazilian political process, because without their blatant participation, the coup that took place in Bananaland would have been defeated more quickly. After all, it would have been very difficult for the troublemakers of this third-world coup to contain so much dissatisfaction from a large part of the Brazilian people, who want to vote for Lula, as all the polls indicate.

The reality is that Lula's imprisonment is becoming a delayed-effect moral bomb every day, but one that will certainly have to explode, because there is no way that the judges now considered "guarantors of rights," after the door was broken down by the coup, can condone such recklessness and wrongdoing that produces divisions, violence, discontent, resentment, and hatred within society, as well as the degeneration of Brazil as a Nation and a State.

The 2016 coup unfortunately divided Brazilian society, and those who didn't parade with the ridiculous, coup-supporting duck of Fiesp are also paying a high price because of the irresponsible people who promoted such a mess, which left Brazil on its knees and its people destitute, because hunger, misery, and widespread unemployment returned.

Fachin, Cármen, Barroso, Moraes, and Fux, among other judges, are largely responsible for the country's institutional instability because they act, even if not consciously—which is not the case—as pillars of support for the consolidation of the coup, which will only be achieved through Lula's imprisonment and, consequently, his disqualification as a candidate.

Over the past five years, society has realized that the unfair maneuvers against former President Lula, which are discrediting the Supreme Court before the nation and the international community, are Machiavellian.

And why? Because it serves the purpose of enabling "deals" involving the country's assets with national businesses, multinational corporations, and the governments of hegemonic countries to be approved quickly, since the usurper ruler and his team of coup plotters need to race against time to sell off public assets, which such political rabble would never, under any circumstances, build, because they are members of a banana republic "elite," colonized, subservient, who in generations have never thought about Brazil.

They are "los macaquitos blancos" (the little white monkeys), because they create the false idea that they are cosmopolitan and cultured, when the truth is that they are barbaric, ignorant, and savage. Enemies of the country, because of their colonizing vision when dealing with Brazilian issues and national interests. Doubt it, pale face?! Then I recommend that you look closely at Brazil and check its situation after the pre-salt oil coup.

Edson Fachin and Cármen Lúcia do not have the right to hijack the Constitution and impose their abuses for political reasons or otherwise. Brazilian citizens can only be imprisoned after all appeals have been exhausted, which is not the case for Lula, and even less so what the Constitution stipulates, despite the casuistry of the second instance perpetrated by judges involved in a violent coup d'état that stripped Brazilians of their rights.

Fachin has already backed down and today released Lula's trial so that he can remain free. The trial could take place tomorrow, the 29th, if Judge Cármen doesn't opt ​​for chicanery and play into the hands of business, political, and foreign sectors that are fighting to prevent Lula from becoming president and to end this farce of a coup and the mess this country has become.

The mess of an illegitimate and demoralized government, as demonstrated by Michel Temer when he was humiliated by the boorish American vice-president, who practically slapped him in the face, when he publicly addressed the children imprisoned in the United States and separated from their parents. Third-world puppets are like that: they have to be treated like mongrels by foreigners. And Temer is an authentic, true, and genuine representative of the mongrel mentality of the Brazilian elite. Period.

Cármen and Fachin are isolated. We can no longer tolerate illegal imprisonments in this country. Either democracy is restored, or the judges and all sectors of the bourgeoisie who participated in the coup must accept that this country will be an eternal plantation to generate wealth for imperialist countries, or they must fully embrace dictatorship. What can no longer happen is the division of the Brazilian people because of thieves and scoundrels who decided to seize central power by force, including the right-wing PSDB. Free Lula and a Brazil liberated from its oppressors! That's it.
