Jair Bolsonaro's Brazil

How has that bastard in Venezuela managed to still hang on?

Because a lot from the political "opposition' have collaborated with the murderous regime to allow the regime to remain in power, in exchange of money, business contracts, etc. (The majority of political parties in Venezuela are Left-wing parties, even those from the 'opposition', as well as the regime).

The murderous regime also barred one of the only trustworthy and real opposition leaders, Maria Corina Machado, from holding public office, so she couldn't submit her candidacy for reelection as deputy to the National Assembly in 2015. The regime also banned her from travelling outside of the country, so she can't meet with foreign leaders, and they have banned her from appearing in the few remaining television stations in the country.

Brazil experiences worst start to Amazon fire season for 10 years

Aug 13, 2020

The Amazon has seen the worst start to the fire season in a decade, with 10,136 fires spotted in the first 10 days of August, a 17% rise on last year.

Analysis of Brazilian government figures by Greenpeace showed fires increasing by 81% in federal reserves compared with the same period last year. Coming a year after soaring Amazon fires caused an international crisis, the new figures raised fears this year’s fire season could be even worse than last year’s.

“This is the direct result of this government’s lack of an environment policy,” said Romulo Batista, senior forest campaigner for Greenpeace Brasil. “We had more fires than last year.”

The numbers are likely to add to the rising sense of alarm among business leaders and investors over the negative impact caused by the ongoing destruction of Brazil’s Amazon forest.

“It is a very worrying situation. Clearly, the government’s environmental policy on the Amazon issue is not working,” Candido Bacher, the CEO of Brazil’s biggest bank, Itaú Unibanco, said on Wednesday.

 
Bolsonaro 'led Brazilian people into a canyon', says ex-health minister

Aug 15, 2020

Historians will savage Jair Bolsonaro for leading Brazilians into a deadly “canyon” with his shambling, self-interested and anti-scientific response to Covid-19, according to his former health minister.

In an interview with the Guardian, Luiz Henrique Mandetta accused the Brazilian president of playing a “pivotal” role in steering Latin America’s largest economy towards a catastrophe. Bolsonaro played politics with citizens’ lives at a time of global crisis, he said, as Brazil’s death toll rose to more than 105,000. Only the US has suffered more deaths.

Mandetta, who has hinted he will challenge Bolsonaro for the presidency in 2022, became a household name in the early stages of this year’s pandemic. He drew praise from left and right for his accessible, science-based alerts over the threat of coronavirus during daily press conferences.

A total of 11,088 sq km (4,281 sq miles) of rainforest were destroyed from August 2019 to July 2020. This is a 9.5% increase from the previous year.

The destruction of the Amazon, explained

 

I have a friend who is a medical lab technician in Manaus and she sent me a message yesterday about this.

I've never seen her so worried. From the tone of her message she made it sound like she would be dead tomorrow.

Apparently they are cutting bus service to 25%, enacting a curfew and hoping things get better.

The people in Manaus have pretty much given up hope at this point.

From what I can tell in the international news media Bolsonaro is coming to the rescue but locally they want his head on a pike.
