    Visão do passado arrisca reeleição

    "Achar que o governo vai mal porque a população não conhece o que foi feito é autoengano. Numa disputa que promete ser acirradíssima, a leitura enviesada do cenário — ou feita com a lanterna mirando o passado, comum neste governo — pode custar a Presidência. Desde 2013, as pedras do fundo do rio se movimentaram e alteraram a maneira como as pessoas formam seu voto. Redes sociais, pós-verdade, guerra cultural, sentimento antissistema, pauta de costumes, conservadorismo, Milei, Trump... O caldo está mais complexo, e a definição do voto passa por variáveis que vão além da recompensa que o eleitor pode dar a um candidato por serviços prestados à comunidade."

    The Unknown Knowns

     

    JEFFREY ST. CLAIR >  

    + In 2002, that quipster Donald Rumsfeld responded to a reporter’s question about the lack of evidence that Saddam Hussein had given WMDs to Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups (or had any WMDs, at all) with his now notorious “unknowns”: 

    Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tends to be the difficult ones.

    + Despite the debacle he orchestrated in Iraq, Rumsfeld reiterated the quote years later (he was obviously proud of it) in his memoir The Known and Unknown. The so-called “Rumsfeld Matrix” wasn’t original to Donald Rumsfeld. He later credited the phrase to former NASA Administrator William Graham in the 1990s, who used the phrase to describe the difficulties (still unresolved) of building an effective ballistic missile defense system. But the formulation actually goes back at least to the 1960s when  Lt. Gen. William B. Bunker described the problems encountered when engineering complex weapons systems: “There are two kinds of technical problems: there are the known unknowns, and the unknown unknowns.”

    + All of these problems still exist, naturally. But with the Trump administration the most dangerous “unknown” is one that Rumsfeld didn’t think of mentioning: the unknown knows, the known consequences of actions that the leadership of the Trump war machine seem totally unaware of…such as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the attacks on Gulf oil producing states, the proven inability of airwars to provoke revolutions or install “friendlier” regimes.

    Ditadura não matou só a classe média. E essa mentira protege seus crimes

     


    "62 anos depois do golpe de 1964, é inadmissível dizer que repressão foi restrita à elite urbana. Ditadura perseguiu negros, pobres, camponeses e indígenas, e esse legado segue operando até hoje."

    Ditadura não matou só a classe média. E essa mentira protege seus crimes

    Para celebrar 62 anos de 1964, candidatos torturam democracia em 2026

     

    LEONARDO SAKAMOTO 

     Brasil relembra hoje os 62 anos do golpe que nos enfiou em uma ditadura de 21 anos, com toda a violência e corrupção do combo autoritário. Nos últimos dias, os dois pré-candidatos da direita à Presidência da República deram declarações que mostram que o espírito de 1964 segue vivo.

    O senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), em discurso na CPAC, a conferência ultraconservadora nos Estados Unidos, disse que as eleições serão livres no Brasil se ele ganhar, repetindo o mantra que o pai inaugurou em 2018. "Se o nosso povo puder se expressar livremente nas redes sociais e se os votos forem contados corretamente, nós vamos vencer", disse ele.

    O governador Ronaldo Caiado (PSD-GO) prometeu, como primeiro ano do seu governo, caso eleito, um perdão para tirar Jair Bolsonaro e generais da cadeia, onde amargam cana por tentarem transformar a democracia em geleia com uso de violência. "Meu primeiro ato será exatamente a anistia ampla, geral e irrestrita", afirmou.

    A impunidade dos artífices, comandantes e torturadores do golpe de 1964 ajudou a semear a tentativa de 2022/2023, que, inclusive, contou com a participação de militares de alta patente. O passado não resolvido sempre volta.

    Não é que Bolsonaro perverteu pobres generais estrelados. Setores militares e civis estavam com ele, aceitando dobrar a democracia em busca de privilégios, dinheiro e poder. O ex-presidente não criou sozinho o espírito golpista. Ele sempre esteve aí, inclusive Jair Messias foi nele forjado. Seu (de)mérito foi dar à extrema direita organização e sentido através de sua eleição, fincando as bases de um golpe já em 2018.

    Nunca curamos as feridas deixadas por 21 anos de ditadura. Tapamos com um curativo mal feito, ao qual chamamos de anistia, que garantiu impunidade a crimes cometidos pelo Estado. Essas feridas continuam fedendo, apesar dos esforços estéticos.

    Sabe por que é importante relembrar os 62 anos de 1964? Porque ele continua vivo não apenas naqueles que insistem em dizer que eleições só valem se eles ganharem, mas também na tortura pelas mãos de policiais nas periferias, herdeiros dos métodos e técnicas desenvolvidos na repressão. E no uso do poder político para favorecer o poder econômico, atropelando trabalhadores no meio do caminho.

    Como sempre digo aqui, temos lidado com o passado como se ele tivesse automaticamente feito as pazes com o presente. E o impacto de não entendermos, refletirmos, discutirmos e resolvermos o nosso passado se faz sentir no dia a dia, com parte do Estado aterrorizando e reprimindo parte da população (normalmente mais pobre) com a anuência da outra parte (quase sempre mais rica).

    Massacre de Eldorado do Carajás completa 30 anos como símbolo de resistência na luta pela terra



    ="Era uma quarta-feira de sol forte no sul do Pará, a data, 17 de abril de 1996, e cerca de 1.500 trabalhadores rurais marchavam pacificamente pela rodovia PA-150, em direção a Belém. Eram homens, mulheres, crianças, idosos, todos Sem Terra, com um único pedido ao Estado brasileiro: o acesso à terra para trabalhar e viver com dignidade. Mas o que a tropa da Polícia Militar do estado, comandada pelo coronel Mário Pantoja, reservava para eles naquela curva da estrada, às margens do município de Eldorado do Carajás, seria registrado pelas câmeras de uma reportagem local como o maior massacre de trabalhadores rurais do Brasil republicano."

    Nova biografia de Guimarães Rosa destaca trajetória multifacetada do autor de 'Grande sertão': 'Viveu várias vidas numa só'

     

     Guimarães Rosa

    "— Rosa comete atitudes muito rebeldes e que o colocaram em risco — diz Nossa. — Como autor, ele já foi muito criticado por não ser engajado, algo que o incomodava muito. Ele argumentava lembrando que seus personagens são sertanejos, boiadeiros, vaqueiros, gente atravessada por conflitos reais, por violência, por questões sociais profundas. Ou seja, há um engajamento ali, mas que não passa pelo discurso explícito, e sim pela forma como ele constrói esse Brasil. "

    " It’s not just the rampant misogyny that oozes from the pages of these documents. Women as chattel. Women as objects. Women as objects of both hate and desire.

    It’s darker than that. Because it’s something that we do not want to see, that we cannot comprehend, that’s as sickening as it’s pervasive.

    What Epstein shows us is that we live in a paedophiliac culture.

    MUSCLE FOR BRAIN

     

    JEFFREY ST. CLAIR >

      For reasons that are not mysterious
    The weak are sent to the wall
    They have reservations in heaven
    Down here, they’re not so fashionable
    Save me from the people who would save me from my sin
    They got muscle for brains

    – Gang of Four, “Muscle for Brains”

    The Iran war is a war of choice. But that doesn’t tell us much, does it? All wars are wars of choice. The questions are: was it a necessary choice? Was it a good choice? Was it a rational choice? Were the consequences considered? Who made the choice and why? We still don’t know the answers to these questions.

    The Iran war is a war of aggression, launched by two nuclear powers against a non-nuclear nation that has been weakened by years of economic sanctions, targeted assassinations, industrial sabotage and cyber-attacks. This is a war of aggression that was initiated during bad-faith negotiations by the US, where diplomacy was used as a cover for a looming bombardment. The gloating over the ease with which US and Israeli airstrikes decimated Iran’s leadership was appalling, given the circumstances under which it occurred. Wars of aggression are crimes. But who is left to enforce international laws? If you can get away with a genocide, as the US’s war partner has done, every conceivable atrocity is fair game. Israel turned Gaza into rubble and still the bombs fall.

    What is the objective? To destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities? To kill the Ayatollah? To topple the Islamic Republic? To emasculate the Republican Guard? To de-industrialize Iran? To wreck the Iranian economy? To “liberate” Iranian women? To spark a revolution? Who knows. Probably not Donald Trump. He claims he’ll “feel it in his bones,” though surely he meant his bone spurs.

    The US generals don’t seem to have much of an idea, even though nearly 40% of the US military is now zeroed in on Iran, burning through billions of dollars of weapons every week. If we take the bombastic Pete Hegseth at his word, it’s to “rain death and destruction” on Iran and Iranians without much, if any, discretion on who is being killed or what is being destroyed. That sounds about right to me.

    The timid Democrats have criticized Trump for not having a “plan,” as if having a plan would legitimize his criminal war. But they do have a plan and the plan is maximum destruction. The plan is for a spectacle of bomb-blast light shows and mass death. One of the first kill shots was an attack on an Iranian girls’ school that murdered 200 people, including teachers and students. Helluva way to liberate women.

    Trump tried to blame the girls’ school strike on the Iranians, saying they’d somehow acquired a US-made Tomahawk cruise missile. Even the Pentagon wouldn’t back up this murderous lie. The school was on the target list. Bad intelligence? Not if the intelligence came from the Israelis, as it likely did. As we know from Gaza, the Israelis targeted schools as if they were ballistic missile batteries.

    US airstrikes destroyed Iran’s Russian-supplied air defenses within the first couple of days of the war. Since then, the US and the Israelis can bomb at will, the only risk being an F-35 encountering a little rain or wind that might send it into a tailspin.

    Every bomb now is being dropped on a defenseless population. And every bomb from now on is likely to turn that population, even those violently opposed to the rule of the Mullahs, against the bombers. For a war waged by two hyper-nationalist countries, the attackers don’t seem to realize that nationalism cuts both ways, that each bombing of a school, hospital, mosque, factory, desalination plant, or historic site solidifies the bombed in support of their country. And this isn’t just any country: this is Iran, this Persia, this is one of the oldest, proudest and most sophisticated civilizations on the planet. It’s a nation with a long cultural memory and it won’t soon forget the day the US and Israeli missiles hit four oil refineries and the skies of Tehran rained Black Death over a city of 13 million people.

    Pete Hegseth boasted that there “will be no quarter given.” What does that mean? It means prisoners of war will be killed. It means the injured will be killed or left to die. Hegseth is a creep, but his fustian outbursts provide clarity on the sadistic objectives of the war. “We have only just begun to hunt,” Hegseth crowed. “We are punching them while they’re down, which is exactly how it should be.” Close the door, put out the light! Hegseth dismisses war crimes as an artifact of woke lawyers and seems eager to have the troops under his command commit every one on the books. No wonder he wanted to court-martial Sen. Mark Kelly for appearing in that video advising US troops to disobey illegal orders.

    Trump has never spent much, if any, time considering the consequences of his decisions in business, sex or politics. In fact, he brags about going on his gut. But making a bad bet on a steak company, mail-in university (diploma mill), porn star or casino is one thing. Wrecking the global economy by dismissing the likelihood that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz if attacked reflects a kind of hubristic madness that makes Hitler’s decision to invade Russia seem sound by comparison. But Trump learned in business that the costlier his mistakes, the more likely he was to get bailed out. He’s rarely paid a personal price for any of his blunders. Now he’s in the position of begging countries and leaders that he has ritually humiliated and deprecated as part of his tiresome political schtick to come to his rescue and help calm the chaos his impulsive and criminal war has set in motion. He may well find he’s bombed himself into a crater this time so deep there’s no clear path out, no easy fix, no insurance policy to shield him against the political and economic shockwaves he has unleashed.

    The blowback from this war will be intense and is likely to last for decades, assuming the planet has that many years left. The war has already spread across the Middle East to Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, Dubai, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Yemen. The oil shock from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has jolted an already wobbly global economy. Soon, refugees will be pouring out of Iran and Lebanon. In choosing to go to war aligned only with Israel, the US will inherit its pariah status across the Muslim world and beyond. Trump doesn’t seem capable of learning lessons, but he may soon find out that it’s easier to impulsively choose to start a war of aggression than to decide when and on what terms the war ends.

     Iranianos carregam caixão de vítima dos ataques de Israel e EUA em Teerã 

    "O Irã é uma sociedade cujos níveis de desenvolvimento humano e de educação contradizem a imagem de medievalismo que tantas vezes lhe é atribuída. Segundo o Relatório de Desenvolvimento Humano 2025 do Pnud (Programa das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento), o Irã integra a categoria "desenvolvimento humano elevado", com pontuação acima do Brasil, ou seja, é um país com bases sociais e educacionais relativamente sólidas. Em dezenas de outros indicadores socioeconômicos, como expectativa de vida à nascença ou anos médios de escolaridade da população adulta, o Irã está na dianteira do Brasil.

    Ao contrário da imagem internacional, o regime iraniano não governa uma massa compacta de fanáticos religiosos ou uma sociedade etnicamente fragmentada ou mirrada; governa uma sociedade antiga relativamente instruída e urbanizada, com expectativas sociais suficientemente elevadas para produzir uma cidadania politicamente exigente, mesmo quando sua ordem política permanece inquisitorial. A história milenar da civilização persa pode ser testemunhada com uma visita a Persépolis ou à praça Naqsh-e Jahan, em Isfahan."

    Trump’s Little Excursion Hits the Straits

     

     JEFFREY ST. CLAIR 

    Check out this paragraph from Tulsi Gabbard’s prepared text in her opening statement before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday:

    As a result of Operation Midnight Hammer [July 2025], Iran’s nuclear enrichment program was obliterated. There have been no efforts since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability. The entrances to the underground facilities that were bombed have been buried and shuttered with cement.

    There you have it. Trump’s Director of National Intelligence obliterated Trump’s case for going to war with Iran. Iran’s capacity to enrich uranium was destroyed last year and they’ve made no effort to resume the program. Curiously, however, Gabbard elided this paragraph during her live testimony before the committee. She claimed, under questioning from Sen. Mark Warner, that she skipped that crucial paragraph because she realized that she was “running out of time.” Her time in office is likely running out, as it should.

    Gabbard’s deputy, Joe Kent, resigned from office this week, claiming correctly that Iran posed no imminent threat to the US. Kent should know. As director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center, Kent saw all of the intel that Trump apparently refused to take the time to read.  Joe Kent’s no “think-tank pansy.” He’s a hard-ass former Marine who courted the votes of Neo-Nazis and white supremacists during his failed run for Congress in western Washington. But according to Trump, who nominated him for office, he always knew Kent was “very, very weak on security.” Funny, he hired him and didn’t fire him. Kent walked out of the Executive Office building on his own volition.

    So we now have it from within the highest ranks of Trump’s own administration that the casus belli for the war on Iran was faked, in an even more blatant sham than the manufactured case for going to war on Iraq, a war Trump falsely claims he opposed from the beginning. But, like John Kerry, Trump was for the Iraq war before he was against it. 

    It’s worth reiterating that even before the June 2025 bombings of Iran’s nuclear sites, there’s evidence that Iran was intent on building a nuclear weapon (and a lot of evidence that it wasn’t), even though perhaps they should have, given that possession of a stockpile of nuclear weapons seems to be the only deterrent against getting attacked by the US or Israel. Just this week, North Korea was gleefully launching 10 ballistic missiles into the Pacific during joint military exercises by the US and South Korea without even a squeak of protest from Kim’s former pen pal, Donald Trump.

    Again, Tulsi Gabbard said as much not long before Trump’s Operation of Midnight Hammer, testifying before Congress that “the intelligence community continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003,” When asked about Gabbard’s testimony, Trump snarled: “I don’t care what she says. She’s wrong. My intelligence community is wrong,” But he didn’t fire Gabbard for being wrong and publicly contradicting him.

    Trump, Rubio, and Witkoff have repeatedly claimed that Iran was merely weeks away from having not only a stockpile of enriched uranium but a nuclear weapon: “If we didn’t hit within two weeks, they would’ve had a nuclear weapon. When crazy people have nuclear weapons, bad things happen.” (March 4) Trump has continued to push this lie in the last few days, as his war has gone south: “[W]e’re doing very, very well in Iran, knocking the hell out of them. And you have to do that. We can’t let them have a nuclear weapon. They were two weeks away — in my opinion, two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon.” (March 17)  Once again, it’s Trump’s position that his own top intelligence appointees are lying about his lies about going to war against Iran.

    Still, not many Americans bought what Trump was trying to sell. Support for the Iran war remains at around 40 percent. And the fog of lies began to rapidly dissipate when Trump’s little excursion ran aground on the Strait of Hormuz, shattering the global economy and unleashing chaos across the region.

    In an interview with Medhi Hassan, Senator Chris Van Hollen claimed Trump was duped by Netanyahu into going to war with Iran:

    They’ve had these constantly shifting rationales, and the reason they have to keep shifting them is because when they say that one thing was their goal – like getting rid of Iran’s nuclear capacity, they claimed – that turns out to be just not true….Netanyahu just a few weeks ago said he’d been waiting 40 years for an American president to join him in attacking Iran. And in Donald Trump, he finally found somebody stupid enough and reckless enough to actually do it.

    Sorry, Senator, but this lets Trump off the hook. Iran has been on Trump’s targeting radar since Obama signed the nuclear deal. He assassinated Qasem Suleimani, head of the IRG’s Al Quds Force, in 2020 and bombed three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last June. As the Epstein scandal engulfed Trump, he began talking up another bombing campaign on Iran and the kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro and Cilia Flores fed his delusion that he could pull off a similar pain-free operation in Iran, a delusion Netanyahu was eager to stoke, against all intelligence to the contrary.

    Perhaps Trump will now replace Joe Kent with Newt Gingrich, who is very, very strong on security. So strong that Newt, the Edward Teller of our tormented times, advised Trump to drop 12 thermo-nuclear bombs on Iran to blast out a canal by-passing the Strait of Hormuz. In other words, someone with the guts to start a nuclear holocaust to prevent one.
