The Supreme Court's judgment
'Petitic military officers wanted yet another coup against democracy to install a new bloody dictatorship in Brazil,' writes columnist Hildegard Angel.
Some people don't realize the crucial moment we are living through today, when, for the first time in the Republic, the Democratic Rule of Law is being defended, with the Supreme Federal Court judging and on the verge of condemning a coup movement, its 'great leader', Jair Bolsonaro, and the entire gang of criminals.
A bunch of cowardly military men who don't even have the decency to acknowledge what they orchestrated. They bang their fists on the table, but they don't stand up for their ideological positions. Compare a Braga Neto with a Fidel Castro; a Che Guevara with a General Heleno or even a General Paulo Sérgio Nogueira, an Admiral Garnier, a Mauro Cid with a Marighela, a Lamarca, a young Stuart, a Dinalva, a Sônia and other courageous individuals who faced death in the name of legitimate ideals.
These tiny, petty military men, who have spent their lives receiving salaries, benefits, trips, cars with drivers, official residences from our Treasury, without giving the country anything in return. Without giving anything back.
Or rather, in exchange, attempting yet another coup against Democracy, to install a new bloody dictatorship in Brazil, massacring intelligence, science, culture, the elected president, the vice-president, and the president of the TSE (Superior Electoral Court). His great "heroism" would be to 'sweep away' the intelligentsia, authorities, and combative, idealistic Brazilians to hand the country over to his greedy personal interests.
They orchestrated a coup, thinking about the commissions they would receive from the sale of state-owned companies, minerals, forests, the smuggling of gold and timber, opening the country to drug trafficking, the PCC (First Command of the Capital) and other organized crime movements. Receiving a few bucks in the arms trade with Israel, some jewels in the sale of refineries to Arabs, an oil field in exchange for a "tacky" house in Miami.
Deplorable civilians, mediocre military personnel, and diabolical religious figures—this was the group supported by a ragtag army of dysfunctional citizens who believe in Lula clones, miraculous tires, and cell phones communicating with alien spaceships.
