The day of reckoning has finally come to (former Brazilian president) Lulla da Silva! This video reflects on the historical event! Please feel free to comment and, as always, share this video with everyone you know! 😉

Fora, Temer! Fica, Temer!…
Out, Temer! Stay, Temer!…
In this video, I talk about recent developments in our tropical House of Cards. Things are getting pretty nasty around here, and everyone seems to be losing their right perspective about what to feel, think or do regarding Michel Temer’s presidency. If you understand Brazilian Portuguese, have fun! 😉
A Farsa Chega ao Fim!…
The Farce Comes to an End!…
This commentary is about the absolutely nasty job performed by Brazil’s electoral court acquitting the Rouseff-Temer ticket of all sorts of violations in the 2014 presidential election. A famous attorney has said that this is the first case she saw of an acquittal caused by an excess of evidence against the defendants.
Não Há Local Mais Apropriado
There’s No Better Place
The video shows the entrance to one of the Brazilian Senate restrooms. This one is located close to the Senate Library. The rolling video says: “Have you ever thought of a more appropriate place for campaign ads of a criminal like this one (Lula)? It’s either this way, close to the john, or in exchange for bologna sandwiches — which will invariably end in the toilet, too…”

Alexandre de Morais – Meus 2 Centavos
Alexandre de Morais – My 2 Cents
In this video, I address the issue of Alexandre de Morais not having the necessary moral standings to fill the seat at the Brazilian Supreme Court. I explain that in 2000, he wrote a lengthy thesis in which he clearly stated that no person working for the Executive Branch should accept a nomination for the Supreme Court because that would be construed as a form of thanking/compensating the nominee, or even having that nominee to act as a shield for the president or other members of the Executive branch if legal issues came up. That written declaration of principles was blatantly ignored by an opportunist Alexandre de Morais, who readily accepted the nomination. A very bad, a very sad start. I finish my comments saying that it’s because of scum like Alexandre de Morais and others that Brazil is still a place that has to get a lot better to be considered just bad.
Combate ao Crime: De Volta ao Básico
Crime Fighting: Back to Basics
In this video, I talk about the situation of Brazilian prisons, the medieval state they are in and criticize the authorities for doing nothing about it. It’s all a smokescreen. Whenever a crisis erupts, they pretend to be doing something. I also present very basic suggestions on how to straighten up the crime-fighting war in Brazil — one of them is the adoption of the death penalty for corrupt people and drug dealers.
Proposta para Tirar o Brasil do Buraco
A Proposal to Get Brazil Out of the Hole
This video was originally published on Facebook. In this video, I show a few reasons why Brazil is in such a desperate state as far as the economy goes, with chronically nearsighted and corrupt politicians thinking only of taxing citizens indiscriminately, never thinking about the country, but only about themselves. No wonder they are all considered criminals and many of them are, indeed, going to jail. I compare Brazilian and U.S. taxation, showing how absurd the Brazilian system is currently operating under. I also mention a proposal presented by a facefriend of a single tax, designed to radically change Brazil’s fiscal landscape, promoting its quick and sustainable recovery.
José Wilker, Bem Interessante…
Jose Wilker, Quite Interesting…
The late Jose Wilker, a famous Brazilian actor, is caught on this video recorded many years ago explaining how he presented suggestions during a meeting at Globo Network. The meeting was designed to collect suggestions on how to improve programming and other aspects of the network’s activities. Mr. Wilker candidly recalls he added to his suggestions a few paragraphs from a book. During the meeting, he presented his suggestions and read the portion of the book. After everyone in the meeting complimented him, his ideas and his research, he asked if they knew where he had obtained that passage. No one knew. He explained: it was from Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf”.
E a Rede Globo Não Noticiou…
And Globo Network Never Said a Word…
The audio and pictures contained in the video above are being spread over the internet since Globo Network never reported on a serious traffic accident involving William “Bonner” Bonemer’s 18-year son, Vinicius. William “Bonner” is the most widely known news anchor in Brazil. In this explicit case of internal censorship practiced by the most powerful television network in Brazil, the public was not able to know that young Bonemer’s provisional driver’s license was expired, he was possibly intoxicated (DUI), that his cousin has suffered a spinal injury, head trauma and is listed in serious condition. The audio that serves as basis for the video came with with pictures over WhatsApp and seems to have been recorded by an unidentified police officer from the Buzios (RJ) region, where the accident occurred. In an effort to play it down, Globo Network designated a woman to briefly talk about the accident during a variety show instead of approaching the subject in a transparent and ethical fashion during its newscasts. The woman who briefly spoke about the accident, Ana Furtado, is a replacement for the show’s main attraction, Fatima Bernardes. Bernardes is Bonemer’s ex-wife and mother of the young man involved in the accident. She was understandably absent from her show, as well as William “Bonner” Bonemer, who missed anchoring Jornal Nacional on that evening.
Meus 2 Centavos Sobre os Refugiados Islâmicos
My 2 Cents on the Islamic Refugees
In this video I basically claim for respect and reciprocity, reaffirming the “your walls, your treatment” concept. If I go to a country like Saudi Arabia with my wife, she will be expected to cover herself, leaving only her eyes to show. If someone from one of the Islamic countries come to any Western country, they are supposed to behave like we do, and dress (and/or undress) like we do. The same way I don’t go to their countries insisting violently that they change their behavior or their way of life, I expect them to do exactly the same here. My concern is that president Temer, himself of Muslim origins, does not pay attention enough to this trap set up by his predecessor, allowing Brazil to turn into a violent chaos with more unemployed people (on top of the 12 million Brazilians already unemployed) not speaking the language, with an agenda of violent change — since they never accept the customs and habits of the countries that welcome them with open arms. Brazil runs a very serious risk of generalized chaos with the imminent arrival of these refugees. It is to be noted that First World Europe was not able to control them; what is going to happen to a Third World Farm like Brazil? Well… food for thought.
