The text above lists the major wrongdoings of the Workers Party along the years and clearly shows who is trying to misguide and sabotage the country’s affairs. The Lessa Blog wholeheartedly agrees with those terms. Use this as an exercise in Brazilian Portuguese, so you can improve your translation skills.

In this video, a person explains how Kim Jong-un may destroy the whole world. If he wants to destroy just the United States of America, he presses the green button. If there is retaliation from the U.S. and other countries, he then presses the yellow button, which will destroy the whole world except for Brazil. Asked how to destroy Brazil, he then shows the red button with the number 13 (the Workers Party electoral number). Pressing that red button, then Brazil is completely destroyed, too. 😉

In essence, I present the petralha un-government in three acts. First, the gang alleges lack of money and does not pay the first half of the so-called 13th salary to pensioners and retired persons. Second, the Cassava Queen gives 500 million reais (approximately 150 million dollars) to politicians in exchange for their support at this near-impeachment time. Third, while doing everything wrong with the economy, the Woman-Sapiens gang has no shame: starts talking about a new (and dreaded) tax, known in Brazil as CPMF (it collects 0,38% of every bank transaction), expecting to raise some 83 billion reais (approximately 23 billion dollars). As it happened before (this tax has already been repealed once), the money that was supposed to be channeled to the Health Ministry was diverted to pay for everything else but health. No, not again!
Laerte Rímoli e a Fraqueza do PT
Laerte Rimoli and the Workers Party’s weakness
O governo corrupto do PT, da Dilma e do Lula não tem força nem para enfrentar a imprensa e fazer um balanço da manifestação. E o dinheiro para os blogs oficiais está sumindo. Como fazer, ministro Edinho Silva?
The corrupt government of the Workers Party, Dilma and Lula does not have any strength to face the press and present an evaluation of the protests. Meanwhile, the money for the official blogs is disappearing. What should be done, minister Edinho Silva?

Marcio Accioly on Brazil
Impossível saída
A chamada “grande imprensa,” reunindo Folha de S. Paulo, Globo, etc., resolveu discutir o número de pessoas presentes nas manifestações, para saber se merecem crédito ou não. Ninguém faz nada. Milhões e milhões de pessoas vão às ruas, pedindo o impeachment da presidente e o fim da corrupção, mas o que se discute nos altos escalões é se os atuais protestos estão reunindo mais gente do que os anteriores.
O que desejam, afinal, os quadrilheiros do PT? Que se invada o Palácio do Planalto e se arranque Dilma de lá? O recado está mais do que dado. Todos sabem que a presidente, de quem se começa a duvidar seriamente a respeito da saúde mental, é cúmplice de ladrões, tolerante com a roubalheira, despreparada e que não consegue mais se deslocar sem ser vaiada nem é ouvida quando se propõe a falar pela televisão.
Quem desenha o cenário de mando político, dentro de um sistema como o nosso, é a economia. E a nossa se encontra inteiramente desorganizada, dependente do consumo exacerbado de bens de consumo e de automóveis que entopem as estradas, paralisando as cidades. Some-se a isso a corrupção generalizada, drenando todos os recursos financeiros disponíveis e irá se compreender o caos.
Mas ainda tem mais: a crise ambiental, sobre a qual ninguém fala, anunciando a falta de água e iminente colapso energético. O Brasil parece caminhar para uma ditadura. Vai ser impossível organizar sociedade tão desarrumada, onde o sistema educacional faliu, as instituições demonstram enorme fragilidade e as emissoras de televisão despejam pornografia o dia inteiro, banalizando canalhice e bandalheira.
An impossible way out
The so-called “mainstream media” (“Folha de S.Paulo”, “O Globo” etc) has decided to debate the number of people attending the demonstrations to determine if they deserve credit or not. No one does anything. Millions and millions get to the streets and ask for the president’s impeachment and the end of corruption, but what’s being discussed at the top is if the current wave of protests is gathering more people than the previous ones.
What do the Workers Party gang members wish? That the Planalto Palace is invaded and that Dilma is sacked from there? The message has been given, crystal clear. Everybody knows that the president (of whom serious doubts have been raised about her mental health) is an accomplice to thieves, is tolerant with the stealing, is unprepared and cannot move around without being booed, being unable to communicate even when she tries to deliver a speech on TV.
The economy is the designer of the political scene in a system like ours. Our economy is completely disorganized, dependent of a high level of consumption of consumer goods and automobiles that clog the roads, paralyzing the cities. Add the generalized corruption that drains all available financial resources to that picture and one will be able to understand the chaos.
But there’s more: the environmental crisis — that no one talks about, revealing the imminent lack of water and energy collapse. Brazil seems to be moving towards a dictatorship. It will be impossible to organize such a disorganized society where the educational system has failed, the institutions demonstrate an enormous weakness and the television networks dump pornography all day long, vulgarizing dishonor and indecency.
Laerte Rímoli e a Indignação Seletiva
Laerte Rimoli on selective outrage
Comovente a indignação seletiva dos meus amigos petistas. Eles têm nojo dos roubos da era FHC. Mas aplaudem, com entusiasmo, a corrupção patrocinada por Lula, Dilma e o PT. E brigam pela manutenção da gangue no poder.
The selective outrage of my friends from the Workers Party is very touching. They abhor the thefts occurred during the FHC era, but they cheer enthusiastically the corruption sponsored by Lula, Dilma and the PT. And they fight to maintain the gang in power.

Sergio Garschagen, corruption and the UN
PT ladravaz – Para demonstrar o quanto o país sofre com os altos índices de corrupção, o procurador Deltan Dallagnol citou um estudo da ONU revelando que os bilhões de reais desviados do país por ano permitiria multiplicar por três os investimentos federais em educação ou saúde ou, ainda, multiplicar por cinco tudo o que se investe em segurança. Seria possível, assim, com esse rombo, resgatar da miséria os dez milhões de brasileiros que não conseguem comprar os alimentos necessários para sobreviver.
Larcenous PT (Workers Party) – To demonstrate how much Brazil suffers with its high levels or corruption, prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol has cited a UN study that reveals that the billions of reais diverted from the country each year would enable multiplying federal investments in education or health by three — or multiplying by five everything currently invested in security. With all this money, it would be possible to rescue from poverty ten million Brazilians who are not able to buy enough food to survive.

Ana Aquino and what’s indispensable…
Gabeira imprescindível.
…”PT nos tratou como os portugueses trataram os índios. Estão unidos pela fé na imagem. Os portugueses deram espelhos para os índios maravilhados. O PT nos ofereceu um espelho mágico: as pessoas batem panelas vazias nas ruas, a superfície da tela reflete panelas cheias de alimentos coloridos.”…
Indispensable Gabeira.
…”The Workers Party has treated us like the Portuguese have treated the indians. They are united by the faith in the image. The Portuguese gave mirrors to the amazed indians. The Workers Party offered us a magic mirror: people bang on their empty pots in the streets, while the screen surface reflects pans full of colorful food.”…

Sergio Garschagen e a Solidão de Dirceu…
Sergio Garschagen and Dirceu’s loneliness…
Ninguém me ama, ninguém me quer – Dirceu está ressentido com lideranças do PT, sobretudo com Lula, com quem não fala desde antes de sua condenação no mensalão. Zé Dirceu queixa-se da falta de apoio público por parte da cúpula do partido. Como esperava, sua defesa não foi feita, mais uma vez, na reunião de terça-feira da Executiva Nacional do PT. Desde que começou a cumprir pena, ele deixou de participar dos destinos políticos do partido e pouco foi visitado pelos “companheiros”. Em março deste ano, seu almoço de aniversário, antes marcado pela presença de políticos de todos os calibres, contou com poucas pessoas e nenhum figurão da legenda. “Cuidado com as más companhias”, ensinavam as nossas mamãs.
Nobody loves me, nobody wants me… Jose Dirceu feels resentment against the Workers Party leadership, especially Lula – with whom he has not talked since he was convicted in the “mensalao” (big monthly allowance scandal) trial. Dirceu comlains that the top party leaders won’t lend him any public support. As expected, the Workers Party National Executive Board meeting last Tuesday did not produce any defense of Dirceu. Since he started doing time, he stopped being a participant in the party’s discussion about its political future and was seldom visited by his “fellow party members”. In March of this year, his birthday lunch — an event always full of politicians from all the political spectrum, had little people and no big shot from the Workers Party. “Beware of bad company”, our moms taught us.
(Newspaper headline): José Dirceu is arrested
(Incoming voice): I am feeling very lonely!
(Lula da Silva): Who’s talking? Who’s talking?
