The murder of prominent native Bruno Pereira and English journalist Dom Phillips shocked the country and the world. This crime is only understandable within the framework of the hate and persecution policy that the current government has established as a normal policy affecting primarily indigenous peoples, blacks, those of other sexual abilities and the poor in general, such political practices. This is a manifestation of barbarism when the social contract that regulates civilized relations between citizens is ignored.

This murder must be investigated to the end and take into account the atmosphere of hatred, stimulated from above, violence that has gripped the country. Anyone who has argued that the 64 Revolution was wrong in torturing because it was supposed to kill, who has bluntly stated that 30,000 leftists will have to be shot, and openly apologized for the notorious torturer, is not free from the atmosphere that led to the barbaric a crime committed in Vale do Zhavari, Amazon. Why did the PF suspend the investigation? By whose command? Legal institutions are subject to scrutiny. They must act.

Despite this genuine national tragedy, we do not want to lose hope that everything will be clarified and the direct and indirect perpetrators will be punished. The country will find its true purpose. We are inspired by the legacy of one of the greatest thinkers of the West, the African Saint Augustine (354-430). He said we should never lose hope because the alternative is suicide. But trust her, because she has two beautiful sisters: Sister Indignation and Sister Courage. Indignation to reject everything evil and perverted. The courage to change this situation to a profitable one. At this dark moment in our history, we must fall in love with Sister Indignation and Sister Courage.

sister of outrage

We resent a government that has set itself the task of destroying our entire cultural past and imposing a different model that intends to bring us back to the dark times of the past. Serving North American interests, it has allied itself with the most backward and reactionary of those existing in that country.

We are outraged by the head of state, who, by virtue of his high function, must live by the values ​​and virtues that he would like the people to live as well. On the contrary, she excels in bad examples. He spread a wave of hatred, lies, violence and fake news from above as public policy. Such an attitude created in society and in the militia a situation of barbarism with the wholesale use of violence directed against the most disadvantaged. He showed himself to be absolutely irresponsible in environmental matters, especially in relation to the Amazon and the Pantanal.

We are outraged that we have allied ourselves with Covid-19, we deny its importance, we are trying to impose collective immunization, thereby sacrificing hundreds of people, and we are prescribing drugs without any immunizing effect. He denied the vaccines were effective, to the point where he eventually refused to buy them. He is responsible for most of the more than 660,000 victims of Covid-19, although he could have avoided it. Rarely, in a ritual way, did he show sympathy and solidarity with the families of the dead.

We are outraged by the disregard for the laws and the Constitution, the attacks on the STF and the TSE, the threats of a coup d’état and the unequivocal statement that he recognizes only one result in the elections – his re-election. Otherwise, there will be social upheaval manipulating his fanatical and armed base.

We are outraged that we betrayed ourselves and the Brazilian people by unscrupulously returning to the old politics that we wanted to overcome by allying with opportunistic and conservative political groups with whom he shamelessly negotiated a secret budget, a source of high corruption.

Finally, we are outraged that we are corrupt in the original sense of the word: we have a corrupted (corruptus) heart (cor). Worse than the monetary corruption that exists in the current government but is not investigated or kept secret, it is the corruption of his mind and heart. He is clearly captured by the attraction to death, the carelessness that he shows to the life of people and nature. It is from this fundamental corruption that their hatred, their stupidity, bad words, lies and distortion of reality are born. How can you still say that you have God in your heart?

courage sister

We are encouraged by the opposition and resistance of politicians connected with the general interests of the nation, especially popular social movements in the country and the city, and from various sections that are mistreated by their government, such as artists and actresses, cultural figures, blacks. , quilombolas, natives and the poor.

We are encouraged by alternative media of information and opinion, whether in print or through virtual media, that maintain critical awareness and denounce governmental and parliamentary excesses.

We are encouraged by the various manifestos of professors, intellectuals, artists, social activists and organized people against reforms that, in particular, have destroyed historical achievements in the field of workers’ and pensioners’ rights.

We are inspired by the national and collective conscience in defense of our representative democracy, which, although not of high intensity, acts as a great political instrument for maintaining the rule of law, validity and respect for the constitution and laws, a space of freedom of opinion and consensus.

We are encouraged by popular initiatives and social movements, despite the lack of support from official bodies, to concretely live the ethic of solidarity during a pandemic, offering tons of organic products and millions of hot meals to thousands and thousands of unemployed and affected people. on Covid-19.

We are inspired by the hundreds of virtual LIVE meetings promoted by groups or organizations on current issues that build engagement and hope. It is worth emphasizing the high civilizational value of the Freedom Knowledge Institute (ICL), founded by the former banker Eduardo Moreira and his group, offering almost 145 courses taught by the best national and international leaders, reaching more than 60 thousand students at the price of a sandwich (42-49 reais) and for At this price you can take all courses.

We are encouraged by the possibility of electing political representatives from state assemblies and parliament who can support a possible government to save democracy, lost rights and an active and proud sovereignty with international implications.

We are encouraged by the international support for our democratic forces against authoritarianism, social barbarism and the salvage of the importance we have won in international relations, especially the anti-hunger policy and other policies of social, technical and university integration.

Finally, we are encouraged by the importance that our country has due to its privileged ecological position in the balance of climates, in maintaining the system of life and the Earth system for the benefit of us and all mankind.

We are convinced that no society is built on hatred or death drive, but on the peaceful coexistence of all, on caring for each other and for the great Common Home, including nature, especially Amazonia, the common good of mankind.
