Lula and his family became millionaires from 2003 on…. I wonder why? Oh yeah…. why is he in jail? That's right….
For being who he is: a Communist (corrupt – same shit). All Communists are going down in Brazil one by one. The cleanse continues….
How terrible. So sad for Brazil and its people.
#Bolsonaro2018 !!
He was corrupt AF, but he did help out many of the poor Brazilians… All the politicians are corrupt and so many won't do anything but fill their pockets… So I can see why Brazilians support him.
United States gets what United States wants. Genocide in Yemen, military Honduran coup in 2009. Crippling sanctions on Venezuela in 2015 to keep their economy from ever rebounding. Supporting terrorists in Syria, supplying wepons to neo-nazis in Ukraine. Austerity measures in Argentina. Attempted soft coup in Nicaragua.
The installation of a sock puppet presidents in Ecuador.
Executing farmers in Somalia.
Now drummed up charges on Lula DeSilva, to keep democratically elected government from ever coming back to Brazil.
Meanwhile the asshole who's presidents in Brazil today was caught on tape taking bribes.
Don't expect much when United States props up sock puppet governments through out the world at the behest of the World Bank.
Americans don't live in a democracy.
When 70% wants Medicare for all and the 8 wars we are currently involved in to end. Both political parties basically says to the American people, fuck off.
Especially when it comes to corporate interest.
"If voting made a difference, they wouldn't allow us to do it" Mark Twain
A lot of communist here!
He forgot to mentioned that the law that prevents Lula from running was signed by himself when he was the president.
He can go back to Portugal.
And, therefore, their so called "Supreme Court" is defunct. Bye bye fascists
Both predictable and unbelievable.
#Bolsonaro2019
The defense says theres still an appeal to be made at the supreme federal court, but the majority there supports the coup. The only way out is a mass movement claiming #freedomforlula ! Haddad could win the election but he isnt as strong, it is very possible that the ongoing coup (since 2016) could take him down.
This paves the way for the much needed Brazilian Revolution. It's the straw that broke the camel's back.
Lula and his party "PT" SAO PAULO FORUM destroyed Brazil and enslaved the population with high taxes, increased the criminality is 70 thousand murders a year he is corrupt and stole public money, he financed Communist dictatorships here in South America and built a port in cuba with our money
No surprise here……..democracy in South America is rolling back to its neo-colonial period when a tiny ruling elite ran the show for US corporations, at the expense of the overwhelming majority. Come to think of it, you can include North America, in that description.
Lula is imprisoned
Kinda like the way Republican-controlled U.S. Supreme Court selected George W.Bush against the will of the people! Conservatism has always been a cancer on society throughout history; whether political, economic, social or religious!
Mike Fox get your news channel ready for another Truck Drivers Strike, the price of the Diesel just raised this week.
PT doesn't have supporters they have militants. People who are willing to trade their vote for something to eat. I am not even kidding.
They didn't just have bar Lula…. they also barred future Sarney (hopefully).
They have NO evidence he commited a crime..this is a "political attack"..let a country speak 4 itself..he's that country's most popular candidate! Brazil's Bernie Sanders! Brazil REALLY need's 2 re-orchestrate it's constitution..so that this doesn't happen again!
COUPS no longer require tanks on the streets and presidents' assassination. They are now conducted by the fucking parliament and the corrupt judicial system!
American coup for Pré Sal with his devilization for corporate media here, he Is the Favourite 🇮🇱 shalom
