    ““I called comrade Cristina Kirchner this afternoon and expressed my solidarity,” said the Brazilian president on X”....

    “Comrade” ? where are we, in Russia ??? (but that's another story...)

    Anyway, to be expected, the most corrupt Brazilian politician we have ever known, expresses his solidarity with Argentina's biggest crook.....(birds of a feather...LOL)

    “the most corrupt Brazilian politician we have ever known”
    An opinion of a revealed fascist.

    “Lula’s imprisonment one of the worst mistakes in Brazil’s legal history,” wrote Justice Dias Toffoli in ruling which lowers the final curtain on US-orchestrated Car Wash/Lava Jato Investigation, which helped remove President Dilma Rousseff, jailed her likely successor Lula, and elected neo fascist Jair Bolsonaro.”

    Dear Terence,

    Thanks for replying to my comment with your usual, stale rhetoric.

    What “Justice” Toffoli writes “- what a joke, no justice there - is not to be taken seriously...a mediocre commie and ex-PT lawyer, who was pushed into the Supreme court by nine-fingers.

    His record as a ”Justice” is hardly something to be proud of - his release of loads of confessed criminals in the Lavajato investigation, is just one of his great deeds.

    He regularly rules on cases defended by a Law firm at which his wife is a partner, yet he sees no reason to recuse himself. But that's how the PT does things.

    You insist on calling me a fascist, but please note, not all centre-right conservatives are fascists. On the other hand, you have never denied being a communist.....by definition a compulsive liar.

    I presume you have been following the INSS scandal in Brazil....nine-finger's Minister of Social Security, Carlos Lupi, and his replacement, plus others appointed by the PT, responsible for the cover-up of the theft of roughly USD 1 billion, discounted from retirees' pensions, and channelled to leftist unions.

    Despite starting during Bolsonaro's mandate, when it was denounced, nothing was done about it.

    Beginning 2023, the embezzlement issue surfaced again - Nine-fingers, Carlos Lupi and several other high-ranking PeTistas were informed about it, yet decided to sweep it under the carpet - until they could no longer hide it. Just fyi, nine-finger's brother's union, of which he is vice-president, received USD 20 million of the embezzled money. All documented.

    Instead of going after the Unions which received the embezzled funds, the government (nine-fingers) has said it will pay the pensioners back with funds from the National Treasury.....so, not being enough for the pensioners having been assaulted in broad daylight, the taxpayer has to pay for it....of course, to go after nine-finger's brother, would be political persecution.

    Have a nice day.

    The only credited source for the so-called ‘communist-threat’ is: “Making the rounds of Brazil's major industrialists, de Paiva was able to appeal to their interests by translating his visceral hatred of communism into a simple message they could understand: Goulart wants to take away from you that which is yours. In this way, de Paiva was able to drum up close to $20,000 a month in donations. … The denial of all political rights and the suppression of working class efforts to gain a more equitable share of Brazil's enormous natural wealth give the lie to the country's “economic miracle” that foreign investors proclaim. Whatever gains Brazil can speak of are realised by only a small elite.”*
    Brazil and CIA by Peter Gribbin

    ”Red-baiting, also 'reductio ad Stalinum (/ˈstɑːlɪnəm/), is an informal logical fallacy that intends to discredit the validity of an opponent's logical argument by accusing, denouncing, attacking, or persecuting an individual or group as communist, socialist, Marxist, Stalinist or anarchist, or sympathetic towards these ...“

    ”you have never denied being a communist”
    You are a liar as my priors post shows.

    My interest was never political it was blatant illegality of the claims against Lula. That piqued me.

    Terence,

    You ARE a communist, a liar and unfortunately - for you - disinformed about Brazil's political situation in the early 60s. I was a teenager when it all went down, therefore I am not influenced by the left's later version of the facts.

    Where were you ? in Brazil at the time ?

    Lula IS a crook...just fyi, his trip to France last week, with his uncouth wife, cost the taxpayer a hotel bill of R$ 1,2 million, plus another R$ 974 thousand for car rentals to tour Paris in luxury vehicles.

    And for what ? certainly no benefit for the Brazilians.

    And, he calls himself an “homem do povo”.....LOL.

    “You ARE a communist”

    “An assertion is a statement offered as a conclusion without supporting evidence. since an argument is defined as a logical relationship between premise and conclusion, a simple assertion is not an argument.”
    Ignoring the Burden of Proof http://learn.lexiconic.net/fallacies/index.htm

    No proof, no truth.

    “Where were you”

    I was up to my neck in the 'Cuban Missile Crisis' fighting real communists, not fictitious ones.

    Meanwhile, the proof of who I am is here at http://learn.lexiconic.net/fallacies/index.htm
    In this picture of me with my tankard in March 2018. It shows my name, my rank, squadron 18, of the RAF in 1963. It is the only bona fide image of me on the web, any other claims will fail for lack of authenticity.

    Terence

    Nice of you to admit that you were nowhere near Brazil in the early 60s, despite the probability that your alleged whereabouts can't be proved either....so, no proof, no truth.

    But my point is, all your “knowledge ” of what happened in Brazil in 1964, and the circumstances that led up to it, was obtained years later, from leftist sites - hardly a reliable source of information, but that doesn't seem to concern you....the only thing that does, is your biased, leftist, distorted version of the facts (rewritten by the leftists after 1985) and your insisting on that narrative.
