**CHECK OUT THE REPUTATION OF "MEU BR@SIL BRA$ILEIRO"
 

Brazil's child sex abusers feel the heat By Gibby Zobel in Sao Paulo

Over 44 million out of 175 million Brazilians don't get enough food

"Sexual exploitation in Brazil is a crime which has reached epidemic proportions"
Maria do Rosario, Federal deputy and author of parliamentary inquiry report

Mayor Veloso, a free man, was  charged with raping seven girls

The Amazonian city of Manaus is labelled the epicentre of child trafficking for prostitution. But after a bitter battle in Congress, the most high-profile political name on the inquiry's list, the vice-governor of Amazonas, Omar Aziz, was taken off at the last minute.

"The real aim of this inquiry is to part the waters in the way we think about the issue of protection of children and teenagers in Brazil"

Patricia Saboya, Senator and president of parliamentary inquiry into Brazil's child sex rings
 

    On April 20th., 1997, Galdino Jesus dos Santos,  a Pataxo Ha-ha-hae Indian, was burned alive as he lay sleeping at a bus stop in Brasilia, federal capital of Brazil. Galdino was part of a group of Pataxós, a tribe which struggles to live in Southeastern Bahia. They were in Brasília to participate in a discussion over land rights problems. That night, Galdino got lost and ended up separated by the other Pataxós and sleeping alone in a bus stop. Five high middle class youth set fire on him. Galdino died  a few hours later in a hospital by the burns he suffered all over his body. The killers said that they thought Galdino was a homeless person, as it was a reason to murder a human being.

    Next week, four of the killers will be on trial in Brasília for murder. Because of the deffender's social position and the victm's background, there is a fear that the trial's outcome will reflect a clear social and economic protectionism. As a result, impunity, again, might prevail.

    The disrespect to the civil rights of the poor and minorities in Brazil is a constant and has been reported by the United Nations and human rights organizations.  If you want to show disapproval to such situation and help ending those injustices in Brazil, please, forward YOUR PROTEST to your friends AND please send it to the following addresses:

    To the Brazilian Ministry of Justice, Brazilian Committee for Human Rights, United Nation High Commissioner for Human Rights

    Re: Galdino Jesus dos Santos' Case

    We, the undersigned are concerned about the outcome of Galdino de Jesus dos Santos' trial. We understand that the four accused had confessed that they set fire in Galdino's body on 04.20.97 while the victim was sleeping in a bus stop. The crime was brutal and indeed cruel.  As all the accused belong to the Brazilian high middle class, and that one of them is the son of a federal judge, and another, of a former higher court justice, we fear they will not be punished for their horrendous crime due to social and economic protectionism.
Therefore, we urge that you employ your efforts to guarantee that the killers of Galdino be punished, therefore, the disrespect to civil rights in Brazil will not be encouraged by impunity.
 

  Please read what follows and send it to everyone you know:

Don't forget to add these addresses in Brazil everytime you send this message so they learn that we are protesting to save our Nature.

  Thank you.

I received this note from BR and translated so you know what's going on with the "Amazon business" (Forest invasion 2000) and some people that are protesting and ready to go to war to defend their land.

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Subject: A AMAZONIA NÃO É O TEXAS
 

A AMAZÔNIA NÃO É O TEXAS #$@ AMAZON IS NOT TEXAS

Referência: nosso documento "FIZEMOS ONTEM; FAREMOS SEMPRE!" de 30.01.01.

News from the Amazon Region delate that some "gringos", particularly from the USA, including ONGs - sorry, I don't know what it means -, are purchasing land in the region, paying lots of money to those Brazilian corrupted government authorities and misleading with lies the poor local landowners that are suffering from the heavy taxes and other abuse the government apply.

History tells US that last century North Americans disguised as "farmers" and moved to live in the so-called TEXAS, a part of the Mexican territory. After a while those invaders provoked a war with the local residents and the American soldiers participated disguised as peasants.

As a result of such "game" Americans take up the Texas territory declaring it independent, and of course the American "White House" later recognized this illegal action as legal. Some time later the "new Texans" residents asked to incorporate their new state to the USA. Everything was well planned and slyly performed.

Next, the "new americans" take up the whole Mexican territory from the New Mexico (NOVO MÉXICO) to California and from the South Frontier to Colorado. Also, they invaded using force and $$ power two thirds of the Old Mexico which until now can't be taken serious as a sovereign nation since its under pressure from the USA.

Now the US want to play the same game with BRASIL, taking up (buying!) the Amazon Region. Are we Brazilian let it happen? NO, we never sell out our land! We will fight to death as we did fighting during GUARARAPES rebelion. Yet, we must prepare ourselves and organise our people to fight to keep what belong to BR. The USA already are buying (invading) the ALCÂNTARA/MA - Alcantara city in Maranhao state - and installing themselves in this part of Brazil with lies. Brazilian citizens, let's fight such insult! However we need to have alongside our - FORÇAS ARMADAS bem armadas - the naational army well armed, educated and morally fit, reflecting our glorious past when we fought against oppression and were victorious. We need to have the unconditional support of our citizens to win this battle.

BE AWARE USA and the foes of the Brazilian Nation, WE ARE ALIVE!

We are the GRUPO GUARARAPES from Fortaleza, Ceara State.

This protest is signed on March 6 2001.

Signed by (Assinam) 75 civis - citizens; 24 oficiais generais - Generals; 176 oficiais superiores - High Officials and 21 capitães e tenentes - Captains and lieutenants.

Thanks USA for the reply bellow. I will fw the note to the Guararapes Group in BR - Jose Batista - Guararapes  CE <[email protected]>; Gen. Torres de Melo  <[email protected]>;

I don't know how far (deeply in the Amazon?!) they will understand the English. I believe if they are serious about their cause they should be ready to reply IT not only in Portuguese.

I leave them (BR) to the questions from the USA David allison <[email protected]>.

Axe' to YOU! Axe' to Amazon! Peace to our hearts!

So what are the names of the investor groups....etc.  can't tell my protest happy friends and
students with out accurate names etc. and leagal proof... copies of land deeds...etc...DBA's etc.
------
Also the Texas history sounds accurate...however the SW referencs are near enough to the
truth to be twisted poorly... the ad hoc reasoning between the two regional el norte'n histories
is not accurate.
Read up on President Polk's response to requests for humanitarian aid for the region in the
1840's... then in the 1930' & 50's white racist repatiration projects(that had nothing to do with
Polk or the Know Nothing Party movement....then your arguments will have power and truthful
accuracy...to which readers won't have excuses to dismiss them so easily. Also do research on
who lived in the "great american desert". aka the regions of  Michigan territory to the West
Coast.  And who and what came to be known as the Washington Red Skins and who they
truely  were dispite ad hoc white and pop culture reasoning.
thnx

Enclosed is the letter I have sent ot BRACCA (Brazilian Community Council of Australia), the letter that I had already sent off to the local Media here in Australia and also bellow the request made by Black Paul during his show in Darling Harbour for the BR 500's.
