Who is responsible for the Amazon deforestation fires in Brazil?
--- Quote ---
> Deforestation fires are surging in the Amazon, eliminating
more square kilometers of rainforest this year than they have
since 2009. In the Brazilian Amazon, fires are a common means of
clearing the land -- land that is worth five times more without
the forest than with the forest -- for cattle and soy fields.
Brazil is the world’s leading exporter of beef and soy, but
there’s also a high demand for these goods domestically.
> There are preservation laws still on the books in Brazil, but
Bolsonaro’s cut funding for their enforcement. Spending on
forest inspection in 2020 is less than a third of what it was in
2019. Part of the Amazon can be reforested but time is critical:
scientists estimate that once more than 20% of the rainforest is
gone, recovery won't be possible and the Amazon will go into a
process of savanization.

Opening the Amazon to Commercial Mining — What's At Stake
--- Quote ---
> Pres. Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil wants to open up the Amazon
rainforest to commercial mining. We talked to Indigenous leader
and activist Sônia Guajajara to learn about the impacts of
removing the rainforest from the protection of Indigenous
communities.
>
> On February 5, 2020, President Jair Bolsonaro presented a new
a bill to the Brazilian congress that would bring commercial
mining, oil, and gas exploration to Indigenous reserves of the
Amazon.
>
> 'There's really important data that Indigenous people
represent 5% of the world's population, but we protect over 82%
of the global biodiversity that is still alive in the world,'
says activist Sônia Guajajara. 'It's real important data to show
the scale of removing territories from Indigenous peoples.'

Brazil Riots Look Strikingly Similar to January 6 Insurrection
--- Quote ---
> Supporters of the country's far-right former president Jair
Bolonsaro broke into Congress, the presidential palace and the
Supreme Court. They falsely believe the October 2022 election
was stolen when current leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da
Silva won. Lula was out of town when the melee occurred, but
called the rioters “fascists.” Inside Edition Digital’s
Stephanie Officer has the details.

Tucker Carlson under fire for backing Brazil Bolsonaro riot
--- Quote ---
> Right-wing host calls current leftist Brazilian president ‘a
convicted criminal’
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> Fox News host Tucker Carlson has come under renewed fire on
social media after he claimed Brazil’s presidential election was
“very clearly a rigged election” and expressed sympathy with
rioters who stormed government buildings.
>
> The right-wing host said the mobs of supporters of former
president Jair Bolsonaro, who rioted at Brazil’s presidential
palace, Supreme Court and legislative body, were frustrated and
angry as they knew “democracy has been hijacked in Brazil”.
>
> “Consider what is happening tonight in Brazil,” he said.
>
> Carlson, who interviewed Mr Bolsonaro in June last year,
called the current leftist Brazilian president “a convicted
criminal”.
>
> This was an apparent reference to the 12-year sentence on
corruption charges against Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva that the
country’s Supreme Court had thrown out in 2021.
>
> “Thanks to what was very clearly a rigged election, a
convicted criminal – Lula da Silva – is now the president of the
most important country in South America. Millions of people in
Brazil understand exactly what happened. They know that their
democracy has been hijacked, possibly forever.”
>
> Carlson did not provide any evidence for his claims of the
election being rigged.
>
> Several Brazilian and American nationals called out the
right-wing anchor for making claims without any evidence and
said his views on the channel are a “menace to international
security”.
>
> “Outside of Donald Trump, is there anyone in this country who
has done more harm to truth, decency, and democracy these past
seven years than,” said former US congressman Joe Walsh.

Russia and Israel have both done massive amounts of damage to
truth, and America, over the last 50 plus years. They are both a
"menace to international security"!

Brazil’s Lula pushes for integration at South America summit
Summit underscores region’s leftward shift and is expected to
emphasise cooperation on issues such as finance and crime.
--- Quote ---
>
>
> Leaders and representatives from 12 South American countries
have gathered in Brazil for a summit on Tuesday, as President
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva attempts to revive the regional bloc
previously known as the Union of South American Nations, or
UNASUR.
>
> President Lula is expected to push for greater regional
integration at the summit, held in the capital Brasilia.
>
> “We let ideology divide us and interrupt our efforts to
integrate. We abandoned our channels of dialogue and our
mechanisms of cooperation, and we all lost because of it,” Lula
said on Tuesday.
>
> In his speech, Lula promoted the idea of creating a regional
trade currency, one that could rival the dominance of the United
States dollar.
>
> The meeting underscores the shifting political climate in
South America, where leftist political forces have experienced a
resurgence after years of largely conservative rule.
>
> Tuesday’s summit took place behind closed doors, but other
expected topics of discussion include energy, finance, crime and
combating climate change.
>
> “I find it’s a great initiative by President Lula da Silva,”
he said. “South American integration is probably not possible
without the participation of Brazil. Brazil is the largest
country in the region, it’s the main economy, and it’s a global
diplomatic powerhouse.”
>
> However, he said, integration will need to result in tangible
benefits in order for the organisation to avoid splintering if
the continent’s political landscape shifts once again.

Brazil’s Congress weakens environmental, Indigenous ministries
--- Quote ---
>
>
> Brazil’s conservative-majority Congress has voted to scale
back the authority of two ministries dedicated to upholding
Indigenous rights and protecting the environment, following
opposition from the South American nation’s powerful
agribusiness industry.
>
> In a 51-9 Senate vote on Thursday, Brazilian lawmakers moved
to strip the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples and the Ministry of
the Environment and Climate Change of some of their powers. The
measure easily passed in the lower house of Congress a day
earlier.
>
> The vote marks a setback for left-wing Brazilian President
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who had promised to put Indigenous
rights and the battle against climate change front and centre
after years of neglect under his far-right predecessor, Jair
Bolsonaro.
>
> Indigenous and environmental advocates had hoped Lula’s
election victory last year would boost their fortunes after the
tenure of Bolsonaro, whose government was blamed for record
deforestation and violence against Indigenous people.
>
> Rolling back such authorities represents a major success for
Brazil’s “beef caucus”, which is closely aligned with the
country’s large cattle and agricultural industries that made up
key elements of Bolsonaro’s constituency.
>
> In a Twitter post on Thursday, the Indigenous rights group
Survival International called that bill a “kiss of death for the
Indigenous peoples of Brazil and their highly biodiverse
territories”.
>

It is clear that the continuation of a democratic world order
will guarantee the extinction of all life on this planet, like
what Hitler said in Mein Kampf, and now we can see this process
of earth destruction happening right before our eyes.
