1/ A major part of Bolsonaro's platform was unleashing the military and police to kill more indiscriminately and then immunize them. This week, the military killed a popular black musician in Rio, shooting his car with *80 bullets* as he drove with his family to a baby shower.
2/ The outrage unleashed by this indiscriminate slaughter by the military of a popular community figure in such a horrifically brutal way is threatening what Bolsonaro & his beloved Justice Minister are calling their "anti-crime" package to immunize police apnews.com/8f86e4628ebf4e…
3/ @TheInterceptBr obtained exclusive video of the military pumping 80 bullets into the car of Evaldo Rosa as his wife screamed: theintercept.com/2019/04/08/exe… - In her last tweet before being assassinated, @MarielleFranco asked: " How many others will have to die for this war to end?"

NPR bizarrely seems to have deleted their own lie-filled interview with me and replaced it with something else, even as it still promotes the page as including its interview of me. Where is it, @MorningEdition?
Thanks to @froomkin, who posted the full, now-elusive NPR audio interview I did this morning about Assange's arrest, here: drive.google.com/file/d/1l8ixtR…
Another copy of the NPR interview here, for those having trouble with the file above:

The Obama DOJ concluded that prosecuting WikiLeaks and Assange for publishing documents would pose a grave threat to press freedom theintercept.com/2018/11/16/as-… - Dems who spent 2 years feigning concerns over press freedom but who now cheer the Trump DOJ for this are beneath contempt:
Arresting Assange and destroying WikiLeaks was a top priority for the most reactionary elements of the Trump administration from the start. Both Jeff Sessions & Mike Pompeo vowed do this to put an end to *reporting*. They were explicit about this: theintercept.com/2017/04/14/tru…
If you're cheering Assange's arrest based on a US extradition request, your allies in your celebration are the most extremist elements of the Trump administration, whose primary and explicit goal is to criminalize reporting on classified docs & punish WL for exposing war crimes.

1/ Australia's @ABC came to Rio & made a beautiful, moving & brilliant 30-minute documentary about the dangers Brazil faces under Bolsonaro, but also its extraordinary spirit & resilience. - I talked here about Marielle's assassination & current threats:
2/ In this part, @davidmirandario talks about the fallout from Marielle Franco's assassination, the role of paramilitary hit squads linked to the Bolsonaro's, and the political & cultural dangers he and other new members of Congress who grew up in the favelas face:
3/ One of the most beautiful parts of the @ABC documentary is the focus on Brazil's samba competition and Carnival, and how favela culture is used to express its unique beauty but also political force. It was particularly poignant because the samba winner commemorated Marielle:

#Military
Defence Officers must avoid Delhi Postings
Delhi Posting makes an Armed Forces Officer lose his "Militariness" and metamorphose into a "Babu" in Uniform
Once transformed into a "Babu in Uniform" his attitude changes - to the detriment of the service
As long as you serve at sea (in field) - you remain an "idealist" who believes in Service Ethos and thinks that everything is fair and ethical
Once you serve in Delhi - and observe how things are manipulated - your illusion is shattered
#Military #Ethics #OLQ
When I joined the Navy, during my training days and for the first few years of service (at Sea) - I was an idealist who believed that merit was the main criterion and everything was done fairly
One posting in Delhi shattered this illusion and "enlightened" me

The Videogamization of our Markets was one of the most obvious signs of its Destruction.

While the Central Banks crushed Volatility, forcing original thinking into Submission, the Bots got smarter and the Game of earnings got more predictable...
Given that $21T+ of QE was sloshing through Markets a a unidirectional Bid, it became quite clear that markets would go up over time.

Passive money helped grease the wheels, so Company Management became quite adept at the Game:
1) Tell “The Street” what your “Guidance” is so they can set their Models. (Make sure to make this very simple so it can be programmed into basic Sell-side Excel models but also read by OCR engines in Programmed Bots).
2) Make this “Guidance” low enough to be “Beatable”.

Police don’t murder black people because they mistake what’s in their hands for a gun. That headline is trash. Police carry guns for a living. They see guns every day. They know exactly what they look like. Police fatally shoot black people BECAUSE THEY GET AWAY WITH IT. Period.
Gun control needs to start with police because they cannot tell what is and what is not a gun in broad daylight. If you are “trained” to have a gun and you can’t recognize one then they should take your gun first. That’s one of many arguments against anyone else having them.
& HERE’S A FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT YES, WHEN YOU RESEARCH THE HISTORY OF POLICING IN THIS COUNTRY IT IS BOUND IN RACE, BUT THIS IS ABOUT POLICE TRAINING ACROSS THE BOARD— WHITE, BLACK, HISPANIC, WHATEVER, POLICE ARE CLEARLY NOT TRAINED FOR THEIR OCCUPATION MY G!!
