“Brazil on the path to prosperity, not in the path of despair as Argentina and Venezuela”

“We're on another path, the path of prosperity, not in the path of despair”, said Brazilian economy minister Paulo Guedes when asked about Argentina's decision to partially abandon Mercosur. It was also an opportunity for president Jair Bolsonaro to openly express support for his the “super” minister, who seemed strongly weakened following the forced resignation of the other “super” minister Sergio Moro.

    Is Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's right-wing president, the new Jim Jones?
    Brazil's president uses death-cult rhetoric, dismisses health experts and refuses to fight a preventable pandemic
    The eerie parallels between the Rev. Jim Jones and Bolsonaro recall the old adage that history repeats itself — first as tragedy, then as farce.
    Jim Jones was enthralling, persuasive and power-hungry. He thrived on attention, adoration and adulation. He was equal parts bully and charmer.
    Such a description could be equally applicable to Jair Bolsonaro, who maintains the devotion of his base by engaging in inflammatory rhetoric, reactionary policies, and racist dog-whistles — a behavior that echoes a cult mentality.
    Anyone that criticizes or disagrees with Bolsonaro is considered an enemy, and every effort to shut them down is justified. This means going after scientists, health experts, the World Health Organization's director-general, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesusand, and even threatening to fire his own secretary of health. In short, Bolsonaro has systematically attacked the experts who have been begging citizens to engage in social distancing during this pandemic.
    As Brazil's COVID-19 death toll surpasses 600, Bolsonaro is doubling down on his manipulation tactics and motivates his followers to go out in the streets to protest against isolation measures.

    Tovarish Gollum,

    Before you start making new accusations, you need to apologize for all the erroneous ones that have been completely exposed as false.

    You truly are an USEFUL IDIOT, and the quote attributed to Lenin can be found in his papers addressed to Comrade Molotov can be fully accessed online — of which even a partial translation can be found:
    ”Дураки, которые защищают нашу идеологию сами являются полезными идиотами.“ [Capitalist] ”fools that defend our idealogy [are] themselves useful idiots...”

    Remarkably, the teachings of the evil bastard that you and Enrique worship is highly detailed in his malevolent plan to Molotov — for the entire destruction of Western Civilization:
    https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/archives/ae2bkhun.html

    I suggest you read as Lenin was diabolically brilliant — and you could learn from him.

    Also, you need to explain why in an Internet query of “LOKAL LEGEND”, it results as a depraved criminal bestial porn cult...

    “quote attributed to Lenin can be found in his papers...” Dipshit, No it cannot, your unsourced material is as unreliable as any of your other claims.
    “The Library of Congress had been unable to find the phrase in Lenin's works and concluding that in the absence of new evidence, the term could not be attributed to Lenin Similarly, the Oxford English Dictionary in defining ”useful idiot“ says: ”The phrase does not seem to reflect any expression used within the Soviet Union”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot
    ”The teachings that you ... worship“ No I do not, no proof, no truth.
    ”Also, you need to explain...“ No I do not, the burden of proof lies upon him who affirms, not on him who denies. Moreover, if this were true you would show a URL, you don't. Thus your claim is shown to be false, like very other one you make.

    The link that Gollum complains about being unsourced is actually from the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS itself...

    If he had looked at the attached, the creature would have seen the LOC citation.

    “The link that Gollum complains about”. The links that you have furnished DO NOT CONTAIN THE WORDS “USEFUL IDIOT”. So can twist and squirm all you want to avoid this point. Since you cannot prove your claim IT MUST BE A LIE.

    If you enter the direct quote: ”Дураки, которые защищают нашу идеологию сами являются полезными идиотами.“ into the LOC sophisticated search engine of archives, the original quote can be easily found, with a brief annotation in English.

    And no, you don't need to be fluent in Russian, but you do need an IQ above 80 to use the marvelous archives.

    Unless you want to now claim the LOC is bogus...

    Wikipedia is not your friend, but I assume you have none anyway...

Any time I make an assertion that is based on 'fact' there is the accompanying URL to support it. So thanks, for confirming that your claim is completely bogus.

    One last time...

    The Library of Congress offers a wide variety of online databases and Internet resources to the public via the Web, including its own online catalog. In addition, LC provides an easy-to-use gateway for searching other institutions' online catalogs and extensive links to resources on the Internet.

    That's a direct quote from the site and if you enter the disputed phrase in the amazing database, you'll indeed find the actual quote by Lenin with an English translated annotation.

    The document I recommended Gollum read, was Lenin's highly detailed diabolical plan to overthrow Western Civilzation.

    Gollum and Enrique's promotion of Marxist socialist ideology is as just as offensive to many people, as any idiotic defense of the Nazi holocaust or negating the Armenian genocide.

    It's impossible to debate someone with a sub-80 IQ when the library itself boasts “an easy-user searchable database.”

    And yes, defending Nicolas Maduro is truly evil...

    “One last time” What is easily confirmed by you meeting your obligatory burden of proof. ”ei incumbit probatio, qui dicit, non qui negat (cum per rerum naturam factum negantis probation nulla sit)-the burden of proof lies upon him who affirms, not on him who denies, (since by the nature of things, he who denies a fact cannot produce any proof). The claimant is always bound to prove: the burden of proof lies on him. Upon the one alleging, not upon him denying, rests the duty of proving. Upon the plaintiff rests the proving or the burden of proof,“
    Soma's Dictionary of Latin Quotations, Maxims and Phrases: A Compendium of ...
    Your failure is proof absolute that your claim is false.
    ”promotion of Marxist socialist ideology ... And yes, defending Nicolas Maduro is truly evil..“ Never have, never will, and you'll never show, because it has never happened.

    “It's really there” Oh no it's not, or you would have shown it. It's your burden to prove not mine, I prove all my own assertions which is all I'm required to do. See someone else has answered your assertion it never happened.
    Personally, I don't have any interest whether he said it or not. But, it's just great exposing great big windbag like you.
