Brazil will not accept being destroyed by the media.
Sergio Moro has already granted three plea bargains to Youssef. Whenever the news about Lava Jato starts to cool down, he is called upon again, or he summons himself, to make new bombshell revelations (without evidence, of course) against the PT (Workers' Party).
Incredible.
Judge Sergio Moro has already granted three plea bargains to Alberto Youssef.
Whenever the news about Lava Jato starts to cool down, he is called again, or he summons himself to testify, to make new bombshell revelations (without evidence, of course) against the PT.
The relationship between Sergio Moro and Youssef is promiscuous.
They are both from Paraná.
In fact, the entire Lava Jato circus revolves around bigwigs from Paraná.
Youssef was involved with the PSDB mayor Jairo Gianoto, from Maringá, who was convicted in a very serious corruption scheme.
At that time, Senator Alvaro Dias was flying back and forth on the money launderer's private jet.
Then Sergio Moro becomes a judge and takes charge of the Banestado case.
Who is the money launderer involved? Youssef himself.
Moro "forgives" Youssef by granting him a plea bargain.
Youssef snitches on the catfish and protects the sharks.
He's back to stealing.
He's arrested again. He's snitching again.
He's back to stealing.
He is arrested for the third time.
Another plea bargain.
Please forgive me if I make any mistakes. I am not Alberto Youssef's biographer, nor do I want to be.
Youssef has become a sort of wild card for the opposition.
(Read the posts: a The story of the money launderer that the media didn't tell. e Youssef worked for FHC, Serra, and Fernandinho Beira Mar.(regarding Youssef's historical relationship with the PSDB).
Whenever they need a selective snitch, someone who understands the political game of the media, they call him.
And now the press informs us that he wants to give "new testimony," and Veja magazine already knows what it is.
Of course, everything is arranged beforehand with Youssef's lawyer, a staunch supporter of the PSDB party who enjoyed a special sinecure in the Paraná government for years.
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of jobs are threatened because some prosecutors and a judge, pampered and raised on goat's milk with a guaranteed salary at the end of the month, want to "clean up" Brazil.
The Public Prosecutor's Office, as an institution, lost its common sense a long time ago, ever since Criminal Action 470, a ridiculous farce that began with an entirely fictitious indictment.
I never tire of repeating it: they are attempting the same coup. And using the same minds, the brightest sons of the aristocratic right.
Sergio Moro was the judge who wrote Rosa Weber's opinion, in which she condemned Dirceu with a decidedly fascist phrase: "I have no evidence to condemn him, but the literature allows it."
Weber's statement seems to me to stem from a desperate conscience, as if she wanted to send a message to history: I am cornered; if I don't condemn Dirceu, my head will be on the line.
Vladimir Aras, another brilliant mind, was the prosecutor who helped Gurgel write the indictment for AP 470.
It is Aras who will go to Italy to coordinate Pizzolato's extradition. Incidentally, the effort made by the Public Prosecutor's Office to bring the Workers' Party member back from Italy is impressive. They used their entire structure.
If they had used a tenth of that structure to investigate the train scandal, Globo's tax evasion, Banestado, and the privatization schemes, Brazil would be much better off today.
No, they preferred to use their entire structure to catch Pizzolato, convicted of a crime he did not commit.
The same applies to João Paulo Cunha, who was convicted despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence.
Now, let's not fool ourselves.
Let's not be foolish or demagogic.
Sometimes I hear criticism: "Funny to see the left defending contractors."
The democratic left can never defend arbitrary arrests or judicial violence, even against the richest man in the world.
The Constitution guarantees equal rights for all.
In Brazil, it seems to guarantee results only for Globo's friends.
He's not a friend of Globo, he could be the richest man in Brazil: say goodbye to your rights and freedoms.
Dictatorships love to sponsor this kind of fascist demagoguery. They imprison the rich to manipulate the class hatred of the poor and middle class.
They don't arrest all the rich people, of course.
Just a few fat lambs, whose sacrifice comes in the name of the greater good.
The Brazilian judiciary has become a political, arbitrary, conservative body, cheerfully subservient to the dictates of a coup-mongering media.
How can we forget that Ayres Brito, then president of the Supreme Federal Court, wrote the preface to a book by Merval Pereira about the mensalão scandal?
And he went straight from the Supreme Court to working for Globo?
Today, in addition to being an employee of Globo, he is a columnist for Estadão…
The media is becoming more and more coup-mongering every day.
See what's happening today.
Hundreds of thousands of jobs are at risk.
Strategic sectors of the economy are paralyzed, laying off people.
If the dismantling of the construction industry is completed, there will be a ripple effect that will affect the entire Brazilian economy.
Did the media do any stories about this?
Did you see Fantástico warning about the excesses and irresponsibility of Operation Lava Jato?
No.
What you saw on Fantástico was just that so-called "poison girl" from Petrobras attacking Graça Foster without any proof.
The Supreme Court, in turn, is once again beginning to cower.
The Supreme Court justices lack the political or even psychological tools to resist media violence.
After all, who can resist the media's tanks? They blackmail anyone.
We live in the age of media. Its end, but an apocalyptic end, which it desperately tries to postpone through a bloodless coup.
The media knows it needs a coup, by any means necessary, to survive the challenges imposed on it by technological change.
She needs an allied government to give her money.
If there is a coup and the right wing takes power, their first act will be in favor of the large corporate media.
From the moment that blogs, made almost by hand, begin to threaten their power; from the moment that thousands of people believe much more in a handful of crazy bloggers; that they see in these bloggers a commitment to the truth and a sense of responsibility far superior to what they see in the serious, suited newspaper columnists; then we understand the media's desperation.
We also understand your aggressiveness towards blogs, finding any pretext to sue them and try to intimidate and suffocate them judicially and financially.
But society is reacting.
Especially since the situation is serious.
Hopefully we have time to avoid the worst.
However, the most important thing is this: society is beginning to react to this hatefully fascist media that prefers to destroy the country rather than endure a few more years of Labour government.
The government, in turn, tries unsuccessfully to project the image of an obedient and well-behaved boy.
We harshly criticize Dilma for several reasons.
She's terrible at politics, a real disaster.
Indecisive, mute, conventional.
However, faced with the conservative offensive, led by sectors completely uncommitted to social issues, and which mobilizes an army of politically illiterate people and a middle class with a violent and sectarian spirit, progressive forces are once again uniting in defense of President Dilma.
She could certainly help a little, though.
There's no need to say anything, since she doesn't like to be in the spotlight.
Simply signing a decree in favor of Petrobras, such as using reserves to buy shares in the state-owned company, would give us an extraordinary boost of morale.
Before FHC's (Fernando Henrique Cardoso's) "white privatization," the Union's stake in Petrobras was 82%, and it fell to 55%. With Lula's Sharing Law, it rose to 64%. We could return to 80% now.
Finally, Brazilian history is alive.
The right wing wants revenge on the country as a whole for the humiliating defeat it suffered in 2014.
Arrogant and violent rich kids are sore losers.
He wants revenge on the contractors, who made substantial donations to the PT, donations that allowed the party to win the elections.
(And at the same time they are against a political reform that would free the parties from this promiscuous relationship with economic power. They want the donations to continue, but only to right-wing parties.)
The contractors donated because they understood that the PT (Workers' Party) had a plan for major infrastructure projects that the PSDB (Brazilian Social Democracy Party) never had.
The toucans were only interested in selling what we had, not in building something new.
During the Cardoso era, Petrobras was neglected. Discoveries of new reserves dwindled, and the number of workers fell. The resources invested in research and technology were ridiculously low.
The shipbuilding industry was destroyed during those sad years.
And now that the shipbuilding industry has been reborn with extraordinary strength, the right-wing media, with the help of accomplices in the aristocratic strata of the State, want to destroy everything?
They won't succeed.
And if, God forbid, they succeed, it will be a dirty victory.
A victory that will compromise them forever, because there is no longer any censorship to denounce their deceptions.
If they destroy Brazil, we will rebuild it, brick by brick.
But from now on we will be far less naive. And we will make those responsible pay dearly, very dearly, for the suffering inflicted on the Brazilian people.
