The Amazon rainforest is on fire: In an environmental crisis of global proportions, Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro is overseeing the destruction of the Amazon rainforest and the genocide of indigenous peoples.
CNN reports:
The Amazon is burning — and humans are likely to blame.
Environmental organizations and researchers say the wildfires blazing in the Brazilian rainforest were set by cattle ranchers and loggers who want to clear and utilize the land, emboldened by the country’s pro-business president.
NBC reports:
The Amazon rainforests are on fire. Brazil’s Trump-like president, Jair Bolsonaro, is to blame.
The new Brazilian leader called himself “Captain Chainsaw” and mocked environmentalists who feared his pro-clearance policies could decimate the Amazon.
In short, Brazil’s Christian F*****t President Jair Bolsonaro is overseeing a campaign of calculated genocide and environmental destruction.
Indeed, Bolsonaro is a dangerous Christian f*****t who has promised to remake Brazil into a Christian theocracy.
Vox reports Bolsonaro summed up his successful far-right p**********l campaign with the slogan:
Brazil before everything, and God above all.
More important, in a campaign speech delivered last year, Bolsonaro signaled his intention to promote Christian theocracy for Brazil, declaring:
God above everything. There is no such thing as this secular state. The state is Christian and the minority will have to change, if they can. The minorities will have to adapt to the position of the majority.
Indeed, a big part of Bolsonaro’s dream of a Christian theocracy entails the eradication of non-Christians, in particular, the indigenous peoples of Brazil currently making the Amazon rainforest their home.
Bolsonaro was inaugurated on New Year’s day 2019, and immediately began to set into motion his deplorable plans to remake Brazil into a Christian theocracy. In his acceptance speech, Bolsonaro promised to govern according to the Bible…
And at the top of his list was the extermination of uncontacted tribes, and the persecution of indigenous groups.
The Guardian notes that Bolsonaro “has expressed open disdain for the indigenous peoples of Brazil, and it is no exaggeration to say that some of the world’s most unique and diverse tribes are facing annihilation.”
In addition, The Guardian explains that Bolsonaro himself has declared:
It’s a shame that the Brazilian cavalry wasn’t as efficient as the Americans, who exterminated the Indians.
Sarah Shenker, a senior researcher at Survival International, echoes the sentiment of many observers by noting:
The theft of indigenous people’s lands could mean genocide and the complete wipeout of tribes.
And while the theft of indigenous people’s lands could mean genocide, it also means profits.
