Under Bolsonaro, Amazon deforestation hits new September record

Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has broken a record for the month of September, continuing a trend that has accelerated during the tenure of the country’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro.

About 1,455sq km (562sq miles) of rainforest were cleared in September, according to satellite data from the Brazilian space research agency INPE. That is up 48 percent from a year ago and beating the September 2019 record in a data series that began in 2015.

  Average deforestation in the vital ecosystem has increased by 75 percent from the previous decade since Bolsonaro took office in 2019.

The news of accelerating deforestation takes place as Brazil braces for a contentious election on October 30, where Bolsonaro will face off against former left-wing president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who has promised to crack down on deforestation.

“Anyone who cares about the future of the rainforest, the lives of Indigenous peoples and the possibility of having a livable planet should vote to remove Bolsonaro,”

-said Marcio Astrini, the executive secretary of the Climate Observatory, a coalition of environmental groups, said in a statement.

Lula won the first round last week but failed to clear the 50 percent threshold needed to avoid a run-off. Bolsonaro’s surprisingly strong showing in the first round, where many expected him to lose outright, has environmentalist groups feeling uneasy.

Many believe that the future of the Amazon, a vital resource in the fight against climate change, will hinge on the results of the upcoming election. About 60 percent of the Amazon is located in Brazil.

“The enemy wants us to be afraid””

Temporary power cuts are possible, but there will be no interruption of our confidence in victory,” he said in a video filmed outside in downtown Kiev. .

“The enemy wants us to be afraid, for people to flee, but we can only go forward and we show it on the battlefield,” he added, calling on Ukrainians to stay in their shelters.

Massive wave of missile attacks reported across Ukraine

A Russian strike on Lviv, in western Ukraine, has indeed caused power and hot water cuts, announced the mayor of the city, Andriï Sadoviï.

“Part of the city is now without electricity” and “due to power cuts (…) there is no hot water at the moment“, he said on Facebook, after strikes “on energy infrastructure” in the Lviv region were reported by the regional governor.

Since the beginning of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine on February 24, the Kremlin has made it clear that the objective of its mission is the “denazification” and “demilitarization” of Kyiv, warning that Western powers are using Ukraine to invade his territory.

Nazis take control of Europe’s biggest Army

‘Fascist influence is now close to open control of Ukrainian armed forces. The legalized nazi battalions have gained kudos and wide support due to the uncontrolled billions in arms and aid flowing into the military, as well as blanket censorship of all opposition and ubiquitous western media propaganda. Their steep rise to power took off with the success of the botched and clearly false ‘Bucha Massacre’ episode, which boosted the tsunami of western aid. Nazi leaders by now employ unquestionable terrorist attacks and boast unopposed military control’ comment

Comandante en jefe de Ucrania, Valeriy Zalúzhniy, 6 de octubre de 2022.

El comandante en jefe de las Fuerzas Armadas ucranianas, Valeriy Zalúzhniy, ha publicado una imagen, en la que lleva brazalete, con símbolo de cruz gamada nazi.

La imagen, publicada el pasado jueves en la cuenta de Twitter de Zalúzhniy, muestra que el comandante ucraniano lleva una pulsera con esvástica nazi en su muñeca.

Al principio la foto fue difundida por muchos medios ucranianos y luego se hizo viral en las redes sociales cuando usuarios la compartieron.

Desde el inicio de la operación militar especial rusa a Ucrania en 24 de febrero, el Kremlin ha dejado claro que el objetivo de su misión es la “desnazificación” y “desmilitarización” de Kiev, alertando que las potencias occidentales están usando a Ucrania para invadir su territorio.

Los Nazis toman el Control del Ejército Más Grande de Europa

“La influencia fascista está ahora cerca del control abierto de las fuerzas armadas ucranianas. Los batallones nazis legalizados han ganado elogios y un amplio apoyo debido a los miles de millones en armas y ayuda que fluyen hacia el estado sin control, así como a la censura general de toda la oposición y la propaganda de los medios occidentales. Su abrupto ascenso al poder despegó con el éxito del episodio chapucero y claramente falso de la ‘Masacre de Bucha’, que inició un tsunami de ayuda occidental. Los líderes nazis ahora pueden emplear ataques terroristas incuestionables y presumir de un control militar sin oposición. (Comentario)
