Supreme Court believes Bolsonaro is orchestrating terrorism.

The violent anti-democratic acts of Bolsonaro supporters have shattered Bolsonaro's discourse about demonstrations on their side being orderly and peaceful, and that violent protests were a practice of the left—which is now clearly a lie. 

With incidents of violence including assaults, sabotage, looting, kidnapping, and attempted murder, the demonstrations have raised alarm among authorities, who have made arrests and are investigating possible terrorism charges. 

Those responsible could be punished in court under the Anti-Terrorism Law, legislation that Bolsonaro supporters themselves tried to toughen in order to punish left-wing protesters. This law—just imagine, reader—changes the definition of terrorism, which now includes "violent actions with political or ideological aims." 

Since his defeat to Lula on October 30th, Bolsonaro has spoken publicly only twice and did not condemn the calls for a military coup from his supporters. And, on those occasions, despite criticizing the road blockades, he indirectly encouraged those actions. 

On November 1st, for example, when hundreds of stretches of the country's highways were blocked, he justified those actions by calling them "the result of indignation and a feeling of injustice about how the electoral process took place." 

In other words: it instigated more blockades. 

Furthermore, the impression one gets is that he feigned madness when he said that his supporters weren't doing everything they were already doing. And he even attributed this behavior to the left. He said: 

"(...) Our methods cannot be those of the left, which have always harmed the population, such as invading properties, destroying heritage, and restricting the right to come and go (...)" 

Since then, Bolsonaro supporters have been resorting to violence, particularly in the states of Santa Catarina, Mato Grosso, and Rondônia. 

Bolsonaro's supporters terrorized Rondônia, using an excavator to destroy a water pipeline, leaving the population of the city of Ariquemes without water. The state governor, Colonel Marcos Rocha (União Brasil), requested support from the National Force, and the Public Prosecutor's Office initiated a criminal investigation.  

The Public Prosecutor's Office stated in a public note that the Bolsonaro supporters' action "constitutes the crime of terrorism, as defined in Article 2 of Law 13.260, of March 16, 2016, since it is an act that sabotaged the functioning of a public service essential to the population of Ariquemes." 

The Anti-Terrorism Law was approved by Congress in 2016, and since then, dozens of bills have been introduced to toughen this law. Most of these proposals, from Bolsonaro-supporting congressmen, were aimed at the MST and MTST movements, but are perfectly suited against Bolsonaro supporters. 

At the time, Bolsonaro called the tightening of the anti-terrorism law "praiseworthy." Today, that law would precisely define the pro-Bolsonaro acts that have occurred in recent weeks. 

In addition to the terrorism investigation in Rondônia, the Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating attempted aggravated homicide after a group of Bolsonaro supporters attacked Federal Highway Police (PRF) officers with gunfire. 

The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office considers the Bolsonaro group suspected of ten crimes (including attempted aggravated homicide), of "disrespecting institutions," and of promoting an "embarrassing, criminal, and delusional military intervention." 

Just like Bolsonaro, the "owner" of the PL party, Valdemar da Costa Neto, criticizes the violence while simultaneously inciting Bolsonaro supporters against the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) and the results of the second round of the presidential elections. 

Costa Neto, an accomplice in all of this, defends Bolsonaro's silence, which authorities believe fuels these crimes. However, Supreme Court justices believe he is under pressure from Bolsonaro, considered the mastermind behind everything happening in the country. 

Given this, ministers of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) approached Bolsonaro and warned him that if he does not order a stop to the terrorist acts, he will end up being indicted for being the intellectual mastermind behind these acts, which will further increase the penalties that will be imposed one way or another. 

The Supreme Court suspects that Bolsonaro is the mastermind behind these crimes and that he is waiting for the coup attempts to "increase" before "acting." But the Court predicts that the acts and attacks will diminish and die out. And that their mastermind will be left out in the cold, like those he incited.
