Last week Haissender Souza de Paulo was found confused,wandering the streets of Gov. Valadares, MG. On Tuesday he started vomiting blood. Yesterday his lifeless body was found on a family farm. He was a witness in the newly reopened investigation on the 2018 Bolsonaro stabbing.+
De Paulo was a henchman of Congressman Marcelo Álvaro Antônio (PSL), Pres. Bolsonaro's first Tourism Minister, who was fired in September, 2020 over a scandal involving skimming federal campaign funds for local candidates and rerouting them into Bolsonaro's presidential campaign
In June, 2019, Haissander, who was 31 and working an aid to Tourism Minister Marcelo Alvaro at the time, was arrested arrested and by the Federal Police and briefly jailed in the campaign funds skimming scandal - possibly as a patsy for his boss.
Together, Alvaro and aid Haissander coordinated Bolsonaro's Sept 6. campaign visit to Juiz de Fora, MG, where an extremely suspicious stabbing event took place that was manipulated to remove him from the presidential debates and portray him as a martyr to "communist terrorists".
In 2021, veteran Brazilian journalist Joaquim de Carvalho's documentary, "Bolsonaro e Adélio - uma fakeada no coração do Brasil" exposed inconsistencies in the Bolsonaro stabbing narrative. On Nov. 26, the Federal Police reopened the investigation. brasilwire.com/bombastic-docu…
On December 29th, the Federal Police transferred the director of the first investigation into the Bolsonaro stabbing, Rodrigo Morais Fernandes, to the United States. He is now working with Homeland Security in New York. poder360.com.br/justica/pf-man…
Yesterday the Federal Police appointed Agent Martin Bottaro Purper to direct the new investigation. Purper, 43, is a 17 year veteran of the force known for his investigations against the PCC - the crime group that supplies Europe with most of its cocaine.
The day Haissander was found wandering,confused and not remembering his own name, 180 KM from his home town of Aimores, MG, local residents posted this notice on social media, asking if anyone recognized him.
Although it's possible he died of natural causes while the Federal Police were moving forwards on the Bolsonaro stabbing investigation in which he was a key witness, some people wonder if he was poisoned for damage control - "burning files" as they say in Brazil. RIP Haissander.

During the first lawfare attempt to annihilate the PT - the 2005 Mensalão scandal - the media gave Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Joaquim Barbosa the hero's treatment. This week he declined an offer to meet with Ex-Lava Jato Judge Sergio Moro. The Rumor is he'll support Lula.
It's sad to see anglo analysts like Perry Anderson still parrot the bourgeois media narrative about PT corruption that was built through this scandal. After years of slander against key figures in the party, like former communist guerilla Jose Genoino, they were all exonerated.
Genoino, who could've been a successor to Lula, was falsely accused of personal enrichment in the mensalão scandal by corrupt, right wing extremist multimillionaire Roberto Jefferson. At the time of his arrest, he lived in Butantan, a lower middle-class neighborhood in São Paulo.

Rumors are flying that Lula may select one of the most despised figures by the Brazilian left as his VP: Geraldo Alckmin (portrayed here as "Alckmin Dead"). He says he'll only announce his running mate in March, but why would PT even consider it? I'll try to explain. thread
1) Alckmin's only chance of the VP slot w/ Lula is if he leaves PSDB for the PSB (Brazilian socialist party). With support for PSDB SP governor Doria plummeting and 2014 Pres. candidate Aecio Neves in the gutter, this will destroy PT's biggest historic enemy, PSDB.
2) Alckmin leads all polls for the 2022 Sao Paulo gubernatorial race, followed by PT's Fernando Haddad and PSB's Márcio França. A PT/PSB presidential ticket would deliver SP to Haddad, giving PT control of the 1st and 2nd biggest governments in Brazil. poder360.com.br/eleicoes/dataf…

In May 2017, Brazil's unions united in Brasilia, marched against coup President Michel Temers' labor reforms and were brutally attacked by the police. I filmed it and am shocked to learn that Guilherme Boulos' millionaire financier Walfrido Warde blames unions for the reforms.
In a 2020 Op Ed, Warde, the corporate lawyer/president of NED-connected Instituto IREE accusing the union movement of standing by, perplexed and inert as the [post labor reform] number of people with signed work cards shrunk, replaced by freelancers cartacapital.com.br/artigo/a-esque…
He goes on to accuse the big Union Federations - the implication is that he's talking about the CUT - of turning their backs on gig economy app drivers. He wrote this 5 years after CUT helped form the first Uber drivers union in Brazil. mariaterezamagrani.jusbrasil.com.br/noticias/41813…

Yesterday, I sat in on the São Paulo Central de Movimentos Populares (CMP) planning meeting for 12 simultaneous protests against hunger marked for Dec. 21. 5 years of austerity has brought back famine. Bones are being sold in Brazilian supermarkets for the first time in 20 years
The CMP is a popular (poor/working class) social movement umbrella w/scores of affiliates and around 500,000 members nationwide that started through the liberation theology movement, then broke with the Catholic church in the 90s over the issue of LGBT rights.
During yesterday's meeting, some of the state directors talked about participating in the "Carestia" (famine) protests during the neofascist military dictatorship as children. "Let's teach the young people the songs we sang and the tactics we used," one leader said.

As famine reaches its highest levels since the 1990s, Brazil's most radical left squatters movement, Movimento de Luta nos Bairros, Vilas e Favelas (MLB), coordinated simultaneous occupations of supermarkets 10 cities yesterday, demanding their right to food. + Image
Brazilians have the right to not go hungry, thanks to constitutional amendment 47, approved in Congress and ratified by Lula on February 5, 2003. Image
The PT sacrificed lot of historic goals in the name of taking and holding onto power, but it did fulfill its most important promise to the Brazilian people - to end hunger. In 2014, the UN removed Brazil from the World Hunger Map.apnews.com/article/5c74f9…

IPEC 2022 presidential election poll looks at 2 possible scenarios. In the 1st, disgraced ex-Lava Jato judge Sergio Moro appears in 3rd with 8%. The 2nd scenario includes folkloric, Christian fireman/former PSOL Congressman Cabo Daciolo. Here, Moro drops to 6%. Coincidence?
Daciolo joined PSOL after leading a Rio fireman's strike in 2011. He was elected to congress in 2014. In 2015, he was kicked out of PSOL for proposing an amendment changing wording in the Constitution from "All power emanates from the people", to "All power emanates from God."
During the 2018 presidential race, he provided a lot of comic relief in the debates, beginning every speech by saying "Glory to God" in a thick Rio de Janeiro accent. As the election date neared, he moved to a mountain top to live as a hermit.
