Let's Hope Brazil's Corruption Has Hindered Plans for a 'Democratic Dictatorship' PDF Print E-mail

Praça dos Três Poderes (Three Powers Place) in Brasília, capital of BrazilThe fact that the Lula da Silva administration has been reportedly involved in numerous corruption scandals might at least produce the positive effect of preserving Brazil's democratic institutions. For since President Lula took office, in January 2003, his government has been pushing for the creation of undemocratic bodies of external (political) control over the press, television, and movies.

Talk about doublespeak
written by Guest, July 27, 2005
Shut the f**k up Zimmerman.

Democracy is a dictatorship, huh?

Moreover, the guy is a lawyer, but has Lula convicted without any evidence.

This guy Zimmerman is a crypto-fascist creep.
Yellow journalism
written by Guest, July 27, 2005
Zimmerman doesn't give a s**t about democracy! He is a woman-hating, christian fundamentalist lunatic. Why is this moron's stuff worth publishing? It's yellow journalism dressed up as scholorly writing. He's in the Cristaldo camp of elitist f**kers who want to return to the bygone days of rule by aristocrats and hate any democratic or social reform that make society more equitable.

What a moron. A democracy is not a dictatorship by definition. And if a democracy works it works to prevent abuse of power. We in the US should have a system as vital as that in Brazil to stop the corruption and abuses of power of the neo-conservatives.
CONGRATULATIONS!

NAZI PT UBER ALLES

PT übber alles e homem cueca
(*) Roberto Romano da Silva

“Se quiserem desestabilizar o Lula, faremos o mesmo ! ”. A frase sinistra foi dita pelo “nosso” embaixador em Cuba ao defender Castro e seu ato - repetido milhares de vezes - de fuzilar pessoas cujo crime é fugir da jaula em que se transformou a ilha. Faremos o mesmo! O dito serve como parâmetro quando observo os que tomaram o governo de assalto. No Brasil não existe pena de morte. “Faremos o mesmo” significa mudar a Constituição. Em proveito de quem? O beneficiário é indicado pelo “embaixador”: o presidente. Quem fala em “golpe” quando falcatruas são investigadas, olvida que a proposta de golpe veio do “companheiro” Santiago. “Desestabilizar o Lula” conduz, na cabeça do ex-seminarista, ao fuzilamento genérico.

Quando o PT exige o Conselho de Jornalismo para controlar os profissionais independentes e os veículos de comunicação, ressurge a sinistra ameaça de Tilden Santiago. Seria preciso “impedir” qualquer abalo do governo. Às promessas de morte física somou-se a busca de morte espiritual contra os críticos, a censura. Esses desejos se manifestavam sem nenhum recato, mas as investigações das mortes de petistas ilustres foram obstaculizadas, inclusive com ameaças ao Ministério Público e à imprensa. O chefe da Casa Civil, em “desagravo” ao dep**ado Greenhalgh, soltou impropérios contra a imprensa e os promotores que retomaram o processo de Celso Daniel. E veio a expulsão dos “radicais”. Em vez de ampliar a denúncia contra o procedimento que repetia de modo bem tosco os processos de Moscou, vários jornalistas apoiaram o Auto-da-fé praticado por Delúbio, Dirceu, Genoíno e quejandos. A “culpa” dos excomungados era recordar o dito por Lula e aduladores.

Uma pausa sobre os processos de Moscou. Eles foram públicos e dirigidos por Vychinski com “auxílio” da NKVD. O primeiro processo (1936) foi contra o “bloco terrorista contra-revolucionário trotskysta-zinovievista”. Acusação: “desvio” esquerdista. A imprensa preparou a opinião pública contra os réus, todos fuzilados. Tilden Santiago sabe das coisas: “Faremos o mesmo”. Dez para o ex-seminarista brasileiro em História. Segundo processo, o “dos 18” (1937). Acusação: sabotagem da economia. 13 dos 18 acusados são mortos, dois recebem 10 anos de cárcere. Enquanto isso, os chefes do Exército Vermelho são expurgados. Terceiro processo, contra “a direita” (193smilies/cool.gif. Apenas sobra Stalin. O expurgo mostra a face realista do Partido, livre para conduzir todos os assuntos, inclusive o jornal Pravda (“Verdade”) para lavar os cérebros. Com expulsões e fuzilamentos, exílios e censura, surgiu o poder que matou milhões de seres humanos na URSS, com os métodos mais detestáveis. Desculpa repetida em todos os crimes: salvar a Revolução, garantir o poder do Partido. “ Os partidos socialistas que se constituíram a partir da idéia do comunismo, no poder, superaram todas as resistências operando pela violência estatal e eliminando a sociedade civil. “ (Tarso Genro, FSP, 08/07/2005). Tarde piaste, Tarso Genro! As cabeças dirigidas pela ditadura receberam um molde transmitido aos “militantes” stalinistas, inclusive no Brasil. O “Partido über alles”, a ditadura por ele dirigida. Calúnias, genocídios, tudo seria legítimo para arrancar a “erva daninha” da oposição. A canalha do Partido matou, fuzilou, destruiu milhões de vidas. Quando acabou a URSS, o glorioso fruto veio à tona : boa parte da NKGB e dos dirigentes do Partido era composta de sócios das máfias russas. A corrupção generalizada começara nos mesmos porões onde se arrancava o sopro vital dos íntegros. A boa vida dos “quadros” foi paga com sangue dos opositores, ainda no regime “redentor”. Nota dez para Tilden Santiago. Ele copia o ex-seminarista Stalin, inclusive neste “detalhe”.

Quem segue a CPIM nota: se os depoentes são fracos, os petistas engrossam a voz, caçoam, insinuam coisas adequadas ao bordel. Não fosse a digna Frossard e Pedro Simon, eles chegariam à pornografia para agredir a ex-secretária de Valério e, sempre “über alles”, defender “a honra” de seu Partido. Vi a senadora petista usar relatório da polícia “secreta” (metamorfose da NKGB), exigir provas laboratoriais para a agenda da testemunha, berrar como se possuída por mil demônios. Os “companheiros” agrediam a testemunha, ignorando a busca da verdade. Eles queriam saber onde estariam as malas de dinheiro. Na sexta passada a polícia descobriu: em parte, nas cuecas do assessor que trabalha para o parlamentar irmão de Genoíno. Acostumado às desculpas esfarrapadas dos “companheiros”, o “mula do bem” disse que as verdinhas deviam-se a verduras vendidas no CEASA. Outro feirante petista que vende abobrinhas podres. A mentira do “patrimônio ético” chegou às roupas intimas. O PT está, literalmente, com o traseiro exposto. A cidadania honesta dará aos toscos Maquiavéis uma bicanca nas partes íntimas. Esperem 2006.

CUBA AND LULA
written by Guest, July 28, 2005

Na prática, Tilden Santiago parece embaixador de Cuba no Brasil. Há meses, em Havana, defendeu publicamente o fuzilamento de três militantes da oposição capturados quando fugiam num barco. ''Fidel está se defendendo da desestabilização provocada pelos Estados Unidos'', argumentou.

''Nosso modelo deve ser o regime cubano'', ensinou. Ex-padre, ex-jornalista, ex-dep**ado, desdenha do risco de virar ex-embaixador. ''Lula não é pequeno'', diz. ''E antecipei ao José Dirceu o que diria''. Dirceu aprovou: ele se derrete com elogios a Fidel, que considera ''um segundo pai''.
Brave Man
written by Guest, July 28, 2005

Professor Zimmermann is a brave man and his articles are extremely relevant for everyone who is really interested in the consolidation of democracy in Brazil.

This one in particular is of extraordinary quality and destined to become a major reference on the subject for many decades.

Without taking one side or the other, those who criticize this article just write bad words but dont bring any answer or counter statements to the ones clearly spelled, with references, by Pr Zimmermann.

Until proven or demonstrated otherwise, this article is extremely relevant.

Dont forget that President Lula did all he could, to not open the corruption scandal, saying it is lies from his opoosition and the elite. Finally he recognizes it ! And the best but most stupid of his answer was......but everybody is doing it for a long time !!!!!
Why dont he excuses all the murderers in your country....with the same answer ?????

President Lula dont like the world globalization. He simply wants to export but is afraid of competition whenever it exists.
He goes to WTO to complain against US and Europe. On the other hand he is so happy when he can sell your grains and iron ore to China and to us.....because you have a competitive price......but so afraid when China is much cheaper than Brazil.....for the textile...that inundate your country...!!!!

Two or three days ago your country destroyed for US$ 10 millions fake goods....imported from Asia....but you never did the same for fakes goods..... produced in your country.

Your President even cut on different occasions....many programs for the poorest of your citizens...because of lack of money in the budget. Your country is booming recently so how could he cut the budget to so many social programs...some of them created....by himself !!!!! So how will he/your country do...when there will be a worldwide or local slowdown ??????

Anyway....nobody is perfect...not even us...the developped world....but your President has nothing to teach to anybody....not even to the citizens..... of your country !!!!

You are an idiot if you are snowed by this charletan Zimmerman. He's a neofascist creep. Anyone who's read his stuff would know that. It's not scholorship, but yellow journalism. You are impressed with citations, I guess. That makes you a moron. Go do your own research. His arguments are paper thin. His fascist ideology is patent. If you can't see that, go back to school.

Hehe. There's this guy who reads Brazzil and it's his job to "congratulate" every right-wing a*****e who craps on the computer. You're a f**king joke!
Bravo, Professor Zimmerman!
written by Guest, July 29, 2005
Those who write truth are always criticized by those who don't like to hear it.
Those criticising Professor Zimmerman would be more credible if they could counter even one of his arguments. Instead, they are silent on this point. They are unable to do so. Their expletives are empty facades for the fact that they have no answer to the truth of his comments.

written by Guest, July 29, 2005
Yeah, that's it, I just hate to hear things I don't like. For example the pseudo intellectual blatherings of a crypto-fascist like Zimmerman.
...
written by Guest, July 29, 2005
Are you out of your mind, Zimmerman? You can't possibly have the same last name as Robert Zimmerman, it's outrageous (Bob DYlan). You have a fascist mind and I feel sorry for the likes of you.

...to the nice guy who called me an idiot :

I was giving you facts.....in details. Your answer is that I am an idiot and I should go to the facts. But what fact are you giving as an answer to my facts ? None !
$o it is too easy...from your side ! You did not bring any arguments in favor of your President ! Readers will appreciate how democratic, how eductated and and how smart you are !!!!!! Smile.......
Let me give you 3 more arguments :
Please read the recent articles in this Magazine with the headlines :
- Brazil's Zero Hunger Is Running Low on Gas and So Is Lula !!!!
Simply written by......A FOUNDER OF PT PARTY !!!! smile...
- Lula is a Fraud and wont be Reelected.... !!!!!
Also written from someone on the left side !!!!!!!!!!!! Smile...
- Lula social programs spent USD 6.8 billions since his election !!!
Assuming 50 millions poors in your country....this represents USD 136.-- per poor in over 2 years...OR..less than... USD 5.- PER MONTH FOR EVERY POOR.!!!!!!!
Nothing to smile here....but everything to be ashamed for !!!!!
Defending your President is just fine for me.....especially a President from the left side...who is spending LESS than 1 % of GDP for social programs. I guess this is good for the rich people !!!!!!

My philosophy is very simple : the best democracy is where you have powerfull counter power and critisim on the actual power...regardless of who is in power !!!!!!

My conclusion is that Mr Lula....is not a good President...but was and will be the best counter power your country had and will have for the future !!!!

What do you consider to be a fascists?

This should be good.

written by Guest, August 01, 2005

This article is a magnificent work, clearly revealing the true intentions of the PT. And the comments in this section against it are not able to refute what one single word of what it says.

The desperate and fascistic (socialistic?) use of coarse language and insults against the author is the best evidence of its veracity.

When evidences dont please you....you close your ears, your eyes...and shout loud....that WE are all idiots !!!!

I second that...
WELL DONE, PROFESSOR ZIMMERMANN!!!
written by Guest, August 03, 2005

I confess to be quite dismayed by the violent attacks and abusive language used against used to attack the person who wrote this extraordinary article.

This message is just to congratulate the author for denouncing the well-known involvement of the Lula administration with authoritarian governments and drugs-financed terrorism.
