The coup is complete

The Supreme Court decided Lula da Silva must go to jail in a controvert judgment where two inconstitutional acts were hidden under president Carmen Lucia's desk. With her vote, the biggest brazilian leader ever was sentenced to jail. Carmen Lucia is the same judge that released Aecio Neves, who was caught in a telephone conversation ordering killings.

Now the extreme right wing has a free path to conquer brazilian government. With support of very known corrup politicians, antionationalists military, the Trump regime and american corporations like Exxon Valdez.

United States doesn't want just oil. They want bases to defy the increasing chinese and russian threaten of global expansion. Brazil is just a piece in geopolitician games. Our efforts to be a respected nation were useless because we have more thiefs and subservient deputies than opportunities to arise from darkness.

The coup is in on the table

General Eduardo Villas Boas threatens a military coup in Brazil. He said on Twitter the army is ready to take power if Lula da Silva runs for president in this year elections.

With full support of Trump regime and north-american corporations as Exxon (which are robbing brazilian oil in a very suspect contract by Michel Temer), the brazilian army destroys the Constitution and wants Lula da Silva in jail or else. 

There is no proofs against Lula da Silva. He is accused of receive an apartment by OAS, a big corrupt corporation sustained by the gang in power, but there's no evidences that it is true. Today Lula da Silva tries to escape the acusation on the Supreme Court. If it works, a bunch of anti-nationalists generals will sell us again to United States, just like 1964.

Love hurts

Paris, December 5, 1830. Hector Berlioz spent the year organizing the premiere of the Symphonie Fantastique, which he composed full of passion for actress Harriet Smithson.

The theater was packed with la crème de la crème bourgeoisie. In the audience, Niccolò Paganini, Franz Liszt, Frédéric Chopin, George Sand, Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas, among others. Harriet never showed up. But they eventually maried.

The Evil itself

Since 1964, a media corporation is responsible for unstabilize democratic governments in Brazil. Globo Network was created by Time-Life group in the sixties with support of anti-nationalist generals and now works to put Lula da Silva in jail.

There's no country in the world with something like Globo Network. Their soap opera are racist and classist. Their jornalism are guided by the money. Their "reality shows" are gross. They defend obsessively capitalism and corrup politicians since its creation. They unstabilize governments and give free space to generals who intent to take power by force.

A public concession with hundreds of local stations, Globo is an octopus wich sucks public budgets with infamous results. Their next step is remove democracy in Brazil.

The world watches it. The western democracies watch it. Do they know Brazil is a fascism laboratory wich incertain results for all of us?

Would you let they kill them all?

Lula da Silva: who wants him dead?

Brazil's former presidente Lula da Silva and his fellows of PT (Partido dos Trabalhadores) were attacked by shots in Paraná, yesterday. Lula was travelling in nearby of Curitiba, where the coup was developed in its judiciary dimension.

"We have three identical buses and several cars. A bus was hit and it could be President Lula's bus. This is a political attack on an escalation of political violence that is taking place in Brazil", said congressist Maria do Rosário.

They killed Marielle Franco. 

They're trying to kill Lula da Silva. 

Would you let they kill them all?

Gunshots hit two buses in a caravan for former President Lula da Silva (NYT)

Gunshots hit two buses in a caravan for former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's campaign tour in southern Brazil on Tuesday, officials in his Worker's Party said. No one was hurt.

Da Silva wasn't in either of the two buses, which were carrying guests and journalists, da Silva spokesman Jose Crispiniano said.

Da Silva has been traveling around southern Brazil to rally support for another presidential run in October. But the former president has been convicted of corruption, and it looks increasingly likely that he will be jailed and barred from contesting the election.

Copy cat or cop buddy? The Mechanism as a José Padilha's self-portrait

The brazilian serie The Mechanism (Netflix), directed by José Padilha have a nice cast, good budget, careful production and relative creative freedom in these times when entertainment industry is becoming younger, reckeless and empty. To satisfy this industry, many works are mischaracterized. Characters change country, gender and profession; a pet that was not in the script could emerge as deus ex machina. Stereotypes of amorality and violence illustrates southern americans.And for that, Padilha is the right guy.

For some artists, dignity is not negotiable. For others, the control is bearable, OK, we add the dog. There is also a third group that portrays their own culture with platitudes of a north-american look. The effort for the colonizer's approval is paid in a closed-door meeting, where the terms of Mephistopheles are accepted one by one. Minutes later, a gorgeous filmmaker crosses the waiting room, filled with candidates for the pantheon, with a smile on his face.

José Padilha has expertise in Mondo Cane. Doesn’t have the literacy of Paulo Lins, the crudity of Peckimpah, the verve of Loach or the aesthetics of Tarantino. But intents to transforms violent TV shows in movies. He loves crimes and heroes, but especially crimes. His heroes are lawyers and policemen who act as templars of the authoritarian state on a divine mission. They live on the edge of reason, and this distemper is considered human complexity.

But there is no complexity in Padilha’s world. His dissatisfaction with “a corrupted system” doesn’t allow he thinks about the system itself. That is why the apologetic The Mechanism is based on books with titles like the megalomanous “Judge Sérgio Moro and the backstage of the operation that shook Brazil” (Vladimir Netto) and the forgetable “The fight against corruption: Lava Jato and the future of a country marked by impunity” (Deltan Dallagnol).

There are few technical defects in José Padilha's works. The locations and technical staff are fine, but the result is oblivion: his movies are functional and ideological, in a poor and violent universe of ruthless drug dealers, powerful businessmen, robotized cops and robot cops with incendiary and nihilistic speech. Average movies for average guys.

The Mechanism is juts like that. A revenge against left politicians that makes him more an internet hater than a film maker. His full-of-rage sub-elite manifests follow goebbelian paths that threatens society and arts in general and amuses a plethora of increasing fascists groups wich hate poors. 

He is a man of his time, knows himself as replaceable and will surf the conservative wave long as he can, enhancing hate and compromizing his artistic survival with a bunch of lies that makes The Mechanism a big fiasco. Time will tell if his raging manifest will generate more reflection than entertainment.
