Olympics
in Brazil ?
Seriously? Brazil : The
State Within
A succession
of scandals overwhelms the Brazilian nation, from lying politicians to pitiful judgments. That is a
shame because Brazil
is a great country of generous people.
But while the
United States of America were civilized by
"Pioneers", Brazil was colonized
by "Bandeirantes". Bandeirantes meaning people who
wanted to make an easy fortune, overnight, in the name of "auri
sacra fames" (gold fever). "Bandeirantes", in present
day, mean all sorts of corruption. As they say
in Brazil , "jeito
brasileiro de levar vantagem em tudo" (Brazilian way to take advantage of
everything). This is an enormous
national deformation. The Brazilian people find grace
in everything, even in their own misfortune.
In Brazil
exists many opposites within the same country. There
is a highly technological Brazil , but also have an
extreme illiterate population and a deeply
deplorable Public Education system. There are first class
Medical fields, however at the same time exists a
hideous Public Health care system and so on.
At the core of
all Brazilian problems is corruption. Corruption is in
the Three Branches because it is outside of them too.
Corruption is in the Executive Branch. Corruption is in the
Legislature. Corruption is in the Judiciary. This is the major
challenging Brazil will
have to pass to genuinely build arespectable nation.
We must make a
renovation in the entire political system. Starting with
the electronic voting proven so vulnerable to
fraud. Social programs that encourage poverty with
domination of the voting system for the perpetuation of
power. The old formula of "bread and circuses" as
"verbi gratia" exists in the Brazil World Cup, as well as now in the
Olympics Rio 2016. Billions and billions of dollars spent
instead of being applied correctly in order to make the
celebration of the global football industry of Fifa
and of Olympics. Worse than this, promoting egregious violations of
Human Rights, thousands and thousands of families evicted arbitrarily,
to building stadiums that will be all for naught, except
for the real estate speculation of unscrupulous exploiters of
misery. As Congressman Romario says, the famous Brazilian soccer
player, this is the biggest robbery in the history of Brazil . Well,
I must confess I am not sure. Actually Brazil has been attacked
by unspeakable interests for the last five centuries.
Democracy currently lives with the rule
of non-Rights, where an international drug
dealer, with an arrest warrant issued in several
countries, including Brazil, sits next to
the President of the Republic of Brazil, in the place of her
honor guests in the presidential box, attending the 2014 World Cup
opening, while Brazilian people have
no schools, have no hospitals, and are the
subject of brutal beatings within the framework of legitimate protests
in a representative democracy as stated in the
Brazilian Constitution.
Rich Brazil,
poor Brazil .
We will truly be admirable not just in territorial grandeur, which
unfortunately is being devastated every second by corporate greed, the day when
we will have qualified Public Education for our beautiful children. The current
generation, I mean our present generation, was born rotten. Brazil is still
a savage, barbaric country. And the message to the President is unpublishable.
By the way, now she is under impeachment proceeds and at World Cup was having a
crystal globet of champagne with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping filled with
blood of humanity. There is no ethics in her criminal government and political
party. All is about power and money. Nonetheless, one day, things
will be different! I have no doubt. Brazil is a wonderful country.
