So, as a brazillian, I’m desperate and so angry on what’s happening with the world’s biggest forest and, since I know there’s not a lot of media coverage on this, I thought I could share some information.
THE AMAZONIA RAINFOREST HAS BEEN BURNING FOR 3 WEEKS
The Amazonia Rainforest is the biggest rainforest in the world and it’s the home of millions of species of animals and plants, as well as to hundreds of indigenous tribes (also, they’re the ones actually protecting the forest, the ones who warned everyone that this was going to happen, and now the ones who are going to suffer the most).
The Amazonia is responsible for about 20% of all oxygen on Earth and 20% of the fresh water on the planet flows on its rivers.
Brazil’s current president is a racist, homophobic and stupid dude, who approves and promotes anti environment behaviour. He pardoned environmental criminals and suspended environmental laws.
In Brazil, large companies and landowners (and some politicians) are the ones benefiting from the deforestation and that’s because the wood extracted illegally is sold to European Countries and the land devastated is used for livestock.
If the Amazonia is destroyed the rest of the world is likely to be destroyed as well.
PLEASE HELP. I know it may seem impossible to do anything from far away, but by spreading information, donating to NGOs and protesting, we may be able to pressure the government to do something.
If you have any questions and/or wants to know more, I’ll be happy to help!

This week all immigration court employees were send a link FROM THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT to an article from VDARE. (Yes VDARE, as in avowed white supremacist Peter Brimelow’s website which is listed as a hate group.)
Every week the Justice Department sends the immigration court employees a briefing, these briefings also contain links to news on immigration. This week’s briefing had a link to VDARE to an article that directly attacked the sitting immigration judges with racial and ethnic slurs. In the linked article, the judges were also labeled with ‘kritarch" before their names - a deeply offensive anti-semitic reference.
The VDare post includes pictures of judges with the term “kritarch” preceding their names. Tabaddor said the term kritarchy is a reference to ancient Israel during a time of rule by a system of judges.
‘VDare’s use of the term in a pejorative manner casts Jewish history in a negative light as an Anti-Semitic trope of Jews seeking power and control.’”
A spokesperson for the Department of Justice is claiming that the email link was an accident and that the briefing was generated by a “third-party contractor,” and it “not reviewed or approved by the staff before it it transmitted.”
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
