#Corruption in Brasil

I look at other countries and I'm like "you know what? Brazilian democracy, you're doing great, sweetie".

[conversacomsmaug]

I think there are a lot of Gringo talking shit about what is happening in Brazil without really knowing about the political history, the lies, corruption, falsehoods, manipulations and censure that is happening here. How strange these elections were and how unhappy people are. I am ashamed and afraid of having Lula as president. People are being harassed, people infiltrated demonstrations to cause chaos, disgruntled ordinary people being called terrorists. We're afraid that tomorrow I won't be able to choose what to read or talk about, whether I'll be able to buy some durable goods or even food. Corrupt megalomaniacs.

Shame Shame Shame

They want to control every step, every choice. Brazil is asking for help and you spit in the face of my people. Less State and more freedom!

Qual a diferença entre uma inundação na Suíça e uma inundação no Brasil? O Estado suíço cria soluções para evitá-las ou mitigar as consequências. O Estado brasileiro é corrupto e desvia dinheiro para a Suíça.

Parece que você não cuidou muito bem do seu DVD (ou Fita VHS) infelizmente não poderá relembrar com mais detalhes aquele dia :(

Obs: a data tá 2023 pois não consegui mudar :(, queria ter colocado algum ano entre 2000 e 1990

O OUTRO CANDIDATO É UM LOBO E AS PESSOAS QUEREM DAR PRA ELE REAL OFICIAL, DESSA VEZ NINGUÉM PODE ME JULGAR NÃO. NÃO VOU ACEITAR SER CHAMADO DE CURSED QUANDO ESTOU APENAS DEFENDENDO O ANTI IMPERIALISMO E A HONRA DO WAGNER MOURA

Palavras sábias devem ser repetidas, e mais uma vez eu venho compartilhar a minha filosofia que tanto inspirou os brasileiros dessa competição

O que seria mais voto com o pinto do que votar EM um pinto?

"Ah pq ele é um canário" IRRELEVANTE

O nosso ícone de reciclagem e do DIY é também um dançarino incomparável no baile das popozudas, rei dos corpos de pera, e, diferentemente de certos candidatos, um autêntico brasileiro. Ele também representa a importante minoria dos carecas, e os featheries que tanto são oprimidos e invisibilizados pelos furries

Votem canário do Rio em nome da sensualidade, brasilidade e justiça 👍

Chico da Silva (Brazilian, 1910-1985)

A Brazilian artist of Indigenous descent, Francisco da Silva, known as Chico da Silva or simply “Chico”, was painting fantastical universes on the walls of fishermen’s houses in the 1940s when the Swiss art critic Jean-Pierre Chabloz first encountered his visionary work. An émigré from war-torn Europe, Chabloz hailed Chico’s paintings as a pure manifestation of Brazilian visual art, which he believed had been tainted by the influence of European neoclassicism. His outsized influence, however, has left a complicated legacy for Chico’s oeuvre that is only being reckoned with today.

Chabloz spent months seeking a first meeting with Chico before the artist agreed, fearing legal repercussions for his murals. In words that reveal a clearly racial paternalism, Chabloz described Chico as an “authentic Aboriginal with copper skin from the upper Amazon” and a “sympathetic nomadic, gloriously primitive, divinely illiterate and, above all, a wonderful artist who, until then, lacked nothing but a favorable opportunity to reveal his extraordinary gifts”.

Chabloz catapulted Chico to fame in 1952 with an article entitled “A Brazilian Indian reinvents painting” in the French artistic journal Cahiers d’Art, which championed the authentic “naïve” spirit of the self-taught Indigenous artist. He organized exhibitions of Chico’s work in prestigious museums in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paris and in several Swiss cities.

But while Chabloz played an essential role in promoting Chico’s work, he perpetuated the stereotype of the artist as a “noble savage”. Several articles published during Chico’s lifetime by Chabloz and international media underscored his illiteracy and claimed that he had no concept of money. Everyday habits, like his preference for sitting cross-legged on the floor, were exaggerated and exoticized.

He organized exhibitions of Chico’s work in prestigious museums in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paris and in several Swiss cities.

Several articles published during Chico’s lifetime by Chabloz and international media underscored his illiteracy and claimed that he had no concept of money. Everyday habits, like his preference for sitting cross-legged on the floor, were exaggerated and exoticized.

Chabloz also imposed Eurocentric ideas of artistic value and authorship on Chico’s practice. Tensions heightened as Chico formed a studio in the 1960s and contracted various assistants, which Chabloz blamed for causing a surfeit of works and diluting his market. In 1969, the Jornal do Brasil reported that one assistant had single-handedly produced several pieces that the artist later signed, and stated that Chico was drinking heavily at the time.

Chabloz severed their relationship in writing that year with the article “The Rise and Fall of Chico da Silva”, published in the magazine O Povo. Chico had been corrupted by fame and his studio production was industrialized, the critic argued, denouncing what he viewed as a regression in Chico’s painting and the saturation of his market.

The artist continued to have moderate success without Chabloz’s support, but he succumbed to alcoholism and mental health problems in the years that followed. He received an honorable mention at the 33rd Venice Biennale in 1966, which briefly reignited his career, but he was no longer a household name when he died in Fortaleza in 1985.

Milei rails against socialism in first visit to Brazil as president

Milei is skipping the presidential summit of the Mercosur trade block in Paraguay on Monday, where he would finally meet Lula

Javier Milei, making his first visit to Brazil as Argentina’s president, attacked socialism, claiming that it curtails liberties and creates corruption. He was speaking to a conservative rally on Sunday, led by former Brazilian hard-right President Jair Bolsonaro.

Reading from a prepared speech at the CPAC Brasil 2024 event, Milei made no mention of Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, even as Bolsonaro supporters chanted insults about the leftist leader and called for him to be put in jail.

Milei is skipping the presidential summit of the Mercosur trade block in Paraguay on Monday, where he would finally meet Lula, the leader of Argentina’s main trading partner. He instead decided to attend the rally of his right-wing ally Bolsonaro.

Milei strained relations with the Brazilian government by calling Lula “corrupt” and a “communist” in a post on X last week, the most recent in a number of insults. Lula has in the past demanded an apology from Milei, and said last month that the Argentine leader had said “a lot of stupid things about Brazil.”

Pombagira by Kypris Aquarelas 🔱

Pombagiras are one kind of ancestors or spirit guides present in afrobrazilian religions like Umbanda and Candomblé. They represent and are the spirits of women, especially those who were persecuted and often forced to recede into the margins of society.

They are the strong wind that comes down the mountains, the ancestral spirits who own the crossroads, the pathways, queens of the souls, ladies of the night and magic.

Pombagiras are Ngangas, Pombagiras are Exú-Mulher! 🔱

As for the word "pombagira", also written as pombogira, bombojira, pombajira and in many other ways, it's probably a corruption of "Pambu Njila", one of the Nkise (deities) of the Bantu people (Congo/Angola) similar to the Orixá Exú. Pambu Njila is worshiped in Brazil in the Candomblé Angola as the deity of pathways and crossroads, he is the intermediary between human beings and the Minkise (deities). Over time, in Brazilian lands, these ancestral spirit guides gained the name Pombagiras, as they share the streets, paths, sexuality and crossroads as areas of activity with the Nkise Pambu Njila.

_____________________

Pombagiras são um tipo de ancestrais ou espíritos guia presentes em afroreligiões como Umbanda e Candomblé. Elas representam e são os espíritos de mulheres, principalmente aquelas que foram perseguidas e forçadas às margens da sociedade.

Elas que são a ventania que vem descendo a serra, espíritos ancestrais donas das encruzas, dos caminhos, rainha das almas, senhoras da noite e da magia.

Pombogira é Maria, é Padilha, é Quitéria, é da Kalunga, é Mulambo, é Cigana, é Dama da Noite, é das Setes Encruzilhadas, é Rosa Encarnada, é da Praia, é das Sete Saias.

Pombagira é Nganga, Pombagira é Exú-Mulher! 🔱

"Ela gira no ar, ela gira na praça, ela gira na rua Ê ê ê Ela canta, ela dança, ela vive sorrindo em noite de lua Ê ê ê Ela é sincera, ela é de verdade Mas cuidado amigo que ela não gosta de falsidade"

A palavra "pombagira", também escrita como pombogira, bombojira, pombajira e de tantas outras formas, é provavelmente uma corruptela de "Pambu Njila", um dos Nkise (divindade) do povo bantu (Congo/Angola) semelhante ao Orixá Exú. Pambu Njila é cultuado no Brasil no Candomblé de Angola como senhor dos caminhos e das encruzas, é o intermediário entre o ser humano e os Minkise (divindades). Com o passar do tempo, em terras brasileiras, esses espíritos-ancestrais-guias ganharam o nome de Pombagiras, já que compartilham com o Nkise as ruas, os caminhos, a sexualidade e as encruzilhadas como áreas de atuação.

In recent years, questionable prosecutions targeting left-wing politicians have become a pattern across Latin America, following a playbook created and supported by the U.S. government. In Peru and Argentina—among others—a pattern of U.S.-backed prosecutions targeted left-wing politicians and helped pave the way for regime change. The Salazar revelations also echo one of the most egregious examples of U.S.-backed prosecutorial misconduct in the region: explosive reporting published by The Intercept Brasil in 2019 based on another trove of leaked messages, which revealed serious ethical violations by a Brazilian judge and prosecutors, who colluded with each other to pursue political attacks against Lula da Silva in an effort to prevent his return to the presidency in 2018. The judge, Sergio Moro, hailed by the U.S. as an anti-corruption champion, has since fallen into disgrace after evidence of his bias eventually led the Supreme Court to throw out his judgment that landed Lula in prison. According to the messages reviewed by Drop Site and The Intercept Brasil, the practice of U.S.-backed politically motivated prosecutions has reached Ecuador. “Diana Salazar has been spearheading the most brutal persecution and has been the principal author of the judicialization of politics in Ecuador,” said Andrés Arauz in a statement. Arauz is the executive secretary of Revolución Ciudadana, Correa’s left-wing political party in Ecuador. “The political persecution against ex-president Rafael Correa, to impede his presence and participation in Ecuador’s political life, has been particularly bloody and has done great harm to progressivism, democracy, and the state of law in our country.”

For example:

In 2019, Salazar’s office launched an investigation called “Bribes 2012-2016,” which accused Correa of running a corrupt network of officials that collected over $7 million in bribes. Correistas allege the case was based on flimsy evidence. During the investigation, a Correa assistant turned over a notebook she said included contemporaneous evidence that Correa had taken bribes, but it was soon shown the notebook hadn’t been printed until 2018, several years after the allegedly contemporaneous notes were taken. It was accepted as key evidence regardless.

Artigo de Cláudio Suenaga publicado no boletim UFO-Informe nº 187, de abril de 2023: Summa Daemoniaca, o tratado de demonologia e manual de exorcistas do Padre José Antonio Fortea

Por Cláudio Suenaga

Por indicação do amigo Nilson Souza (a quem muito agradeço) é que fui ler o Summa Daemoniaca (título em latim que se traduz como Suma de questões relativas ao demônio), o tratado de demonologia e manual de exorcistas escrito pelo padre exorcista José Antonio Fortea Cucurull, nascido em Barbastro, nordeste de Espanha, em 11 de outubro de 1968. A edição em português que Nilson me presentou foi a da editora Palavra & Prece (São Paulo, 2010).

Falar sobre o livro não acrescerá muito, e o melhor mesmo é que ele seja lido diretamente, sem intermediários.

De qualquer forma, para os que jamais irão ler por falta de tempo ou outras preferências, escrevi uma matéria a respeito que foi publicada na última edição do boletim UFO-Informe editado pelo meu amigo Alexandre Calandra do GPU, que você pode continuar a lê-la abaixo:

Calandra também traduz a pertinente reportagem "Aliens are 'demons' created by evil powers to feed on human passions, say scholars" ("Aliens são 'demônios' criados por poderes malignos para se alimentar das paixões mundanas, dizem estudiosos"), publicado no britânico Mirror, sobre as assunções do teólogo católico Paul Thigpen, para quem as abduções alienígenas têm paralelos com pessoas que dizem ter encontrado demônios. Confira:

Aqui a matéria original do Mirror:

Devo agradecer também ao Calandra pela gentil divulgação que fez do lançamento do meu primeiro livro em espanhol, o Encuentros cercanos de todo tipo. El caso Villas Boas y otras abducciones íntimas, publicado pela editora Coliseo Sentosa e que pode ser adquirida na Amazon.

what's it like being a doctor

well, i myself can’t answer that properly since i’m not one yet, i’m only a medical student. even though in my grade i already have to work at the hospital, i still don’t have the same responsibilities as someone who’s already graduated. what i can say is that it’s a very stressing profession, but also a very exciting one depending on the field you wanna go. i like medicine, but i actually wouldn’t work with most of it, because i can’t stand only clinicing, i know i will be unhappy if i don’t become a surgeon, and surgery is honestly the most exciting part. another thing about it is that less than occasionally i feel deeply for patients, you can’t and you won’t grieve for everybody you’ll take care of, but it can happen, and that’s different for only feeling sad. i will never forget the first time i saw someone dying in front of me, not because it’s shocking or anything, death is part of the profession, but i won’t forget the person for who she was, i didn’t want it to be her. sometimes i also grieve for patients who aren’t in good social economic conditions to adhere to treatment, and i don’t mean buying meds, but actually being able to miss work and come from far away to get medical attention. i don’t know where you’re from or how the healthcare system works in your country but one thing i can say is that i probably wouldn’t be a doctor if i was usamerican or something, because i don’t think i would be able to work for such a disgusting healthcare system, it’s simply something i don’t believe in. brasil’s healthcare system can have all its flaws, because of corruption and lack of resources and bad management, but it serves the entire population, some things, such as aids treatment and prophylaxis, are provided by the public system, some medications, such as insulin, are free. we do so much with far from the ideal amount of resources and for that i can say that i’m proud. unfortunately, even with our healthcare system, sometimes patients are in real vulnerable situations and external factors don’t allow them to get proper care, that’s something i feel deeply for as well.

Javier Milei has entered the international scene, in less than 7 hours his interview with Tucker Carlson got 100 million more views than the interview with Donald Trump. What Javier Milei has awaken in the western world is unprecedented. The Establishment and media is scared AS ALL FUCK. Argentina will become a type of France during 1789 when all the monarchies that were in war between themselves, stopped fighting each other to invade together France and stop the revolutionary ideas before they could reach their kingdom and they would be hanged too. I already said 6 months ago that Javier Milei was 100 more intelligent than Bolsonaro, and despite not having the tower of money Trump has. Milei has passion courage he came from a poor family and not a rich one, Milei got the best grade of his university, and is not corrupt like Bolsonaro he doesn't come from a military background like Bolsonaro too. Lula is used to fight against Bolsonaro but he will not be able to win against Milei, he has already surpassed Trump, Milei will become the leader of the western world. The geopolitical playground of Latin America will change forever, it has come the time to obliterate socialism in Latin America. Uruguay, Colombia, Perú, Bolsonaro in Brasil, and especially above all other South America countries: Kast in Chile, they all have already pledge unconditional allegiance to Javier Milei, they all want to end socialism in the region once and for all and Milei has won the cultural war in one of the most lefties countries in the region. He has gone viral in Spain and now he is goingviral in Australia and the United States. Giorgia Meloni in Italy, Trump in USA, Kast in Chile, Marine Le Pen in France, Abascal in Spain, Bolsonaro in Brasil.. a new worldwide popular right wing is brewing, Libertarism will be reborn.
