I have managed to obtain a photo of Brazil’s President Jair
Bolsonaro flying Rhaegal, the Dragon better known from his role in The Game of
Thrones when he played a Dragon of the same name owned by Daenerys “Stormborn”
Targaryen fighting under the Targaryen
banner.
As you may be aware, since the Game of Thrones ended Rhaegal
has been struggling to find work and life has not been easy for the 2000 ton
Dragon, especially after the death of his brother Viserion. Under the pressure
of a Tory government threatening to cut his job seekers allowance and being his
with a green tax due to his rather hefty Carbon Footprint Rhaegal decided to
migrate to Brazil where he found employment working for right-wing President
Jair Bolsonaro and assisting to incinerate the Amazon Rainforest using the
skills he previously displayed by burning down Kings Landing and the leadership
of the Targaryen queen.
Do you believe this?
If yes then I have some magic beans you may be interesting in buying, but if
you are a logical person who bypasses the mass hysteria that plagues the social
media and left-wing presses by doing your own fact-finding then why the fuck would
you believe the bovine scatology that seems to be so fashionable these days?
Whilst it’s undeniable that the Amazon is on fire at this
time of year as it has been every year around these months over the past couple
of decades due to the dry season (and not burning any quicker than before) what
I find strange is why so much publicity now!! And such false news as seen from
the photos below in the attempt to pass off historic photos as current (check
the dates of these photos)!!!
Could this be
anything to do with a new political party coming to power the end of last year
and the opposition wanting to use the media to spread propaganda in the attempt
to manipulate people’s ideas?
factually and if
anyone really wants to fact check...Deforestation of the Amazon, through fires
and logging, is proceeding at a far slower rate than it used to. Last year
about 7900 square kilometres were lost - an area slightly larger than that
covered by Auckland Council. In 2004, nearly 28,000 square kilometres were lost
- about the size of Southland
Now lets talk about this so called “Right-wing” President
Jair Bolsonaro who’s victory last year is stoking fears around the world that
‘fascism’ is on the rise, fear which the left are very happy to stick kindling
upon to ignite it further
Bolsonaro has been dubbed the ‘Trump of the Tropics’ and I
do see similarities as both men have a
very macho persona and seem to open their cake holes without the foresight of
thought, they appeal to an angry audience who are (rightly) sick of this progressive
left snowflake mentality. Also just like Trump, Bolsonaro tends to says the
first thing that comes into his head and it tends to be divisive especially his
views on women, gay people, minorities....a lot which at this point I want to
make clear I don’t agree upon, but we, especially us Gringos who are trying to
understand things out with our own little boarders, need to understand we can’t look too closely at a comparison between Trump and Bolsonaro
as Brazil is very different. Many Brazilians feel that only they can understand
the peculiar afflictions of their home country and I agree, I would be far too presumptuous
to assume to know more so I hope the Brazilian friends I have wont judge me too
hard for attempting and if so then please let them consider this just a Gringo’s
view of the situation.
A big contribution to Bolsonaro’s success is due to a middle
class insurgency, they made their choice, and it has voted for military
discipline over a corrupt left wing regime which has been in power for a while
yet still could not address the gang violence which plagues Brazil (homicide
level in some Brazilian cities is high enough to meet the UN’s criterion for
low-intensity civil war) The left wing party of PT which was in power from 2003
to 2017 failed catastrophically to deal with this problem. Corruption is also a
huge deciding factor in Bolsonaro betting Haddad of PT. During PT’s terms in
office it oversaw the worst recession in Brazil’s history and the largest
government corruption scandal in the history of any country, anywhere!!!! Read about PT’s Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and
his fall from grace, I find it remarkable the left can plead his innocence
after all the facts that have been presented.
He was happy to call such people as Venezuela's Hugo Chávez and Cuba’s Fidel
Castro his friends, even shaking hands with Muammar Gaddafi, these are strange
bedfellows for anyone who expects to be an honest servant of the people.
I have wrote on this blog previously praising what Bolsonaro
did with these Cuban Doctors in Brazil, I really find this truly progressive
and a humanitarian act (read the post to see why) but I also do have issues
with Beef, Bible, and Bullet reputation of Bolsonaro. Beef being the corporate interests of
ranchers and such which certainly will never be promising for a vast land of
trees and this corporate interest also includes loggers and miners too. Then the Bible part, this Evangelical
Parliamentary Front he has voicing his hostility to homosexuality and
abortions, this is a dangerous way of thinking, at least America has constitutions
to protect over this, perhaps Brazil has too, this is where my ignorance may
arise but still…religion has no place in politics. Then finally the Bullet
part, nostalgic sentiment for the Brazilian dictatorship of old is never a good
thing although there are some positives in this perhaps with the way to deal
with the criminals, recently, even here in Scotland we saw how the BOPE sniper
took out (shot, not went on a dinner date) the guy in Rio who highjacked the bus, we heard the usual wails from the
left about how the gun the criminal had was not real but the threat was
certainly real as was the fear of the innocents on the bus!! Our
very own SAS once were called out by the left for doing a couple of double taps
to 3 unarmed IRA members in Gibraltar in 1988
(Operation Flavius) …if there is a risk to innocents then the initiative
should be taken to protect is innocents, not to give the criminals the benefit of
the doubt. But yes, all this Bancadas do Boi, da Biblia e da Bala does give the
left ammunition is the social media stakes and we all know that a Meme speaks a
thousand words especially to the lazy who don’t have the patience to collate the
facts so there is always a spectra of a fear that PT may come back into power
again and any progress made by Bolsonaro will have been in vain.
But anywhoo ….. by all means ….protest the deforestation of
the Amazon rainforest but please don’t make it a political attack on just Bolsonaro
as these idiots who recently threw red paint and glued their hands to the doors
of the Brazilian embassy in London did. Where were these fuds the previous
years when PT were in power and the fires were burning there. Or Belo Monte
(google that one like I had to) was given the go-ahead and the effect that had
on the indigenous peoples when PT was on Mount Olympus being the over watchers
of the amazon !!!
