40. I'm not sure anyone has yet figured out how important this is to humanity, to the Amazon

A lot is at risk here. These old plutocrat fascists don't believe in science or climate change, just in money. And they are no doubt paying off everyone willing to sell themselves. If this coup succeeds, the indigenous people and the rain forest will be severely impacted, an impact that will resonate in the entire biosphere.

I really hope the evidence matters. Brazil already knows how few men with guns are needed to suppress a nation, and they know that those same old forces just took control. I'll be surprised if we have the Olympics unless Dilma is back in office. These old, white men are not going to be tolerated much longer given the evidence against them, and that result in troops in the streets shooting people to end the demonstrations.

People disappeared when the far right was last in power, and Dilma was herself tortured by them.

I'm very glad to see that Dilma Rousseff has a chance now... Peace Patriot May 2016 #1
