Bricklayer: discourse of a dictatorship without corruption sinks easily.

"If it were of any use to those who seem inclined to howl, not to think, it would be good for those who defend a military intervention as a way to 'restore morality' in our country to read today's Folha de São Paulo," says journalist Fernando Brito; "Something so 'hairy' that the Brazilian military government refused to accept 500 pounds (R$ 15 million, in today's money) offered spontaneously by the London government as compensation for the overpricing found in the acquisition of the ships."

By Fernando Brito, from brick - If it were of any use to those who seem inclined to howl rather than think, today's Folha newspaper would be a good read for those who advocate for military intervention as a way to "restore morality" in our country.

After all, they may not believe those who lived through those times, but, given their canine nature, they will surely give credence to foreign documents.

They didn't say a word about the US State Department documents revealing political assassinations, and they won't say a word about the discovery of documents kept secret until now by the United Kingdom talking about corruption precisely in a military activity. the contracting of the construction of frigates for the Brazilian Navy.

It was such a "hairy" matter that the Brazilian military government refused to accept the 500 pounds (R$ 15 million in today's money) offered spontaneously by the London government as compensation for the overpricing found in the acquisition of the ships.

It doesn't matter that everyone knows that fortunes – even more so for civilians than military personnel – were made under the dictatorship, nor that it was under the dictatorship that public safety conditions deteriorated. It is necessary to…remembering a past that doesn't exist"to make the way of folly attractive."
