Brazilian Supreme Court Rules that Sex With Children Not Necessarily a Crime — Denounced by United Nations

By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman, Latin America Correspondent

SAO PAULO, June 7, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) — The Brazilian Supreme Court and a lower appeals court have nullified two sentences against child sex abusers in recent months on the grounds that their behavior did not constitute a crime under Brazilian law, sparking a protest from the United Nations.

On June 23, Brazil's Superior Tribunal of Justice (the nation's Supreme Court for cases not involving Constitutional law) upheld the acquittal of several men who had paid two girls, 12 and 13 years of age, to have sexual intercourse with them, on the grounds that prostitution was not covered by child sex abuse statutes.

The men, one of whom has been identified as a Brazilian sports celebrity, reportedly took photos of the encounter.

Although the fact that the men engaged in sexual intercourse with the girls was apparently not in doubt, the Tribunal of Justice of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul had ruled that it was not a crime, because the girls were engaged in prostitution. Brazil's Superior Tribunal agreed, upholding the lower court ruling.

"The prostitutes waited for the client in the street, and are no longer people who enjoy a good image in society," the judge ruled in the original case, adding that "prostitution is such an old profession and is considered to be barely a moral abuse, but never a crime subject to penalty."

Ariel de Castro Alves, a member of Brazil's National Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents, expressed horror at the ruling.

"The decision is almost a license for abuse and exploitation to be committed without punishment. Currently, cases like these are difficult to punish," she told the Brazilian newspaper O Globo. "It is a difficult process, that involves impediments, and very often, threats against the victims and their families. When punishment is possible, we have an absurd decision like this."

The decision is also being denounced by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).

"As incredible as it may seem, the argument used is that the accused did not commit a crime, because the children had been sexually exploited before by other people," the organization commented in a public statement.

"Moreover, the decision causes indignation, because of the insensitivity of the judiciary regarding the circumstance of vulnerability to which the girls are subject," the statement continued. "The case also establishes a dangerous precedent: that sexual exploitation is acceptable when it is paid for, as if our children are for sale in the perverse market of adult power."

In a second case, reported in Brazil on June 5 by legal commentator Renato Pacca, an appeals court in the state of Rio Grande do Sul overturned the conviction of a 30-year-old man who admitted that he had had anal sex with his 13-year-old brother.

According to the prosecutor, the accused, who has not been named in the Brazilian media, "through real and presumed violence, forced his three minor brothers who were 9, 12, and 13 years of age, to practice various libidinous acts of sexual intercourse during the time period in question, consisting in showing them pornographic films, submitting them to various sexual services, and practicing anal coitus."

Although the accused confessed to molesting his 13-year-old brother, and although he was sentenced to 12 years in prison, he was absolved on appeal to the Fifth Criminal Chamber of the state's Tribunal of Justice because the child had "requested it."

According to the text of the judgment, "sexual promiscuity was the tonic of domestic life, and this reality is sufficiently attested by the natural way the topic was confronted by the supposed victims."

The 13 year old "effectively consented to have sexual relations with his brother" the court said, by "sitting on the lap of his brother, arguing that 'I knew that was wrong' and that, in the act, he had the role of the woman and the accused the role of the man."

Prosecutors appealed the case to the Supreme Tribunal of Justice, which, in contrast to the other, similar case regarding the two girls, overturned the appeals court ruling and restored the original sentence.

Muslim suicides surpassed by Protestant and Jewish suicides

Protestants and Jews offer radical Muslims lessons of authentic suicide

By Julio Severo

A suicide-bomber, who kills many people by exploding cars in an effort to draw attention, is also called a terrorist suicide. Radical Islam holds the monopoly of that strange suicide that, instead of murdering and destroying exclusively the author and other similar terrorists, kills the innocent.

Muslim terrorists prefer to target Jews and “Christians”. Even when a bomb blows up and kills some Muslims, the goal is eventually to hit the US and Israel. But if they were authentic suicides, they would attack only their own Muslim brethren.

Perhaps they need lessons from Jews and “Christians”. Probably, no one knows better how to provoke suicide destruction among Jews and Christians than the Jews and “Christians” themselves.

Do you need evidence?

With their suicide-bombers, Muslims are able to destroy a train, blow up a plane, a police station or explode a bus with children, but they were never able to destabilize what they so much wish: the Israel end US governments.

Christians achieved both things. With their leftwing suicide, Protestant suicide-bombers blew up the evangelical foundations of the US, which was built by evangelicals committed to God and to the Christian morality. Christian commitment and morality were devastated from the current American reality. Protestant suicide-bombers carried out a perfect operation. “Protestant” Hussein Obama is the living evidence of it.

The “bombs” of the Protestant suicides are not physically explosive, but, ideologically, they are devastating. They are made to put on the Western pedestal the “gospel according to Karl Marx”.

“Christian” Europe has already collapsed before this false gospel, which puts the State in the central place of God as the Supreme Provider in the lives of individuals, families and society. The United Nations (UN), which was created by US president Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a leftist Protestant ally of dictator Stalin, represents a huge global State with many tentacles and a global pedestal for this gospel.

That global State, which wants a global suicide through international policies defending abortion, homosexuality and other perversions as unalienable human rights, is imposing itself at world level in the central place of God as the Supreme Provider in the lives of individuals, families and society. The only resistance to the UN world pagan government was American conservative evangelicals — an endangered species today in the US government.

The US was founded by persecuted evangelicals as a nation to shelter persecuted Christians. After the action of the Protestant suicide-bombers, everything that was left was Obama and an unrecognizable American nation, which shamefully sides with Fidel Castro and other Marxist dictators.

The US was founded by persecuted evangelicals who loved Israel, and one of her most important modern presidents, Ronald Reagan, was one of the greatest Israel supporters — not to mention a staunch opposer of legal abortion. After the action of the Protestant suicide-bombers, everything that was left was Obama and an American nation engaged in the global sacralization and protection of abortion and homosexuality.

Who said that Christians are not models for suicide?

Yet, they are not alone.

There are Jews that hate Israel so much as the Muslim terrorist suicides, and who are able to provoke larger havoc to Jews than one thousand Osamas Bin Laden.

Socialist Jews throughout the world, as well as all socialists throughout the world, reject the purposes of God. American socialist Jew Tony Kushner declared, “I wish the modern Israel hadn’t been born”. He is the author of a homosexual propaganda piece. He also calls the establishment of the state of Israel “for the Jewish people a historical, moral, political calamity”. [1]

George Soros, the leftwing billionaire Jew, had been trying for years to remove from the White House presidents showing support to Israel and Christian values that are an integrated aspect of the US foundation. He and other powerful leftwing American Jews invested millions of dollars so that socialism might seize White House. Socialist Obama in the presidency is a major victory for them.

After the action of the Jewish suicide-bombers, everything that was left was Obama and an American nation that wants by all means friendship with the lethal enemies of Israel and at the same time to impose on Israel the immoral obligation to deliver up part of its territory and Jerusalem to “Palestinians”.

Differently from Muslims and similar to Christians, the Jewish “bombs” are not physical explosives. They are a product “made in Karl Marx”, with consequences immeasurably more devastating than a Muslim terrorist attack against a bus or a building.

Because of the Christian and Jewish suicides, the Promised Land is under pressures and oppressions that impose the Obama, UN and “Palestinian” plan on Israel. In this plan, everybody has his turn and decisions, except for the God who has already determined everything since the beginning, with well-defined and immutable boundaries and limits.

Israel is a nation created thousands of years ago to glorify God. UN, which was created to glorify itself and reestablished in modern times Israel, does not acknowledge God, His plans for the world and much less His plans for Israel. If even Jews as George Soros and Tony Kushner want the suicide of Israel, what to expect from the UN?

Is the suicide role of Jews a new thing? In the Old Testament, the greatest opposers of God’s plans for Jews and their Promised Land were Jews themselves. In the political plan, the Old Testament shows how king after king of Israel rebelled himself against God and His will. Who can forget Ahab and other Jewish kings who were committing the suicide of their own nation? After thousands of years, nothing has changed. Karl Marx, an ex-Protestant Jew converted to satanism, is the creator of socialism, probably the destructive ideology that most produced suicide Protestants, Catholics and Jews in the world. Because of socialism, there are so many Jewish and Christian suicides today as there were in the Old Testament.

Then why are radical Muslims so worried? Why do they spend so much money in bombs and terrorism? For centuries they have been fighting to conquer the “Christian” West and destroy Israel. Even with high investments in terrorism, they hardly scratched the surface of the West and Israel. Yet, the victory they long for so much is coming, but not because of their own efforts and terrorism. It is coming through Christians and Jews that, with their actions and follies, hate God’s plans.

The Muslim world at large approves and praises the actions of Muslim terrorists against the “Christian” West and Israel. In turn, most Christians applaud leftwing Christian and Jewish leaders that with their actions and follies are leading the “Christian” West and Israel to their own suicide. And instead of condemning Muslim terrorism, these leaders excuse it. Whether they accept it or not, they are the greatest allies of the world Muslim terrorism.

“Christian” West and Israel are able to survive Muslim terrorism, but they would have a very hard time to survive the actions and follies from the leftwing Christian and Jewish suicides, who have the staunch support of the UN and EU.

Brazil suffers no threat from Muslim terrorism, but because of the actions of leftwing Catholic and Protestant suicides, today Brazil has a socialist president friend of Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, UN, Obama and Muslim nations enemies of Israel. As “Protestant” Obama, “Catholic” Lula has passion for the spread of the suicide ideology of abortion and homosexuality.

Brazil, which is the largest Catholic nation in the world, is a victim of the Theology of Liberation, which has been delivering Catholics and Protestants from the Gospel of Jesus Christ to make them slaves of the “gospel” according to Karl Marx. The spiritually suicide administrations of Lula in Brazil and Obama in the US are consequence of spiritually suicide theologies among Catholics and Protestants.

The traditional hatred and Muslim terrorist attacks against the US are going to fade away, because leftwing Christian and Jewish suicides were able to put in the White House a man to please not only themselves, but also Muslim terrorists around the world. Now leftwing Jewish suicides need only to apply in Israel the same coup, by putting in the presidency of Israel a Hussein Obama, to do the will of socialism and Islam.

Therefore, if told that the greatest suicides in the world are committed by Muslims, doubt. Similarly, if told that who is destroying the West and Israel is Osama Bin Laden and the Muslim terrorism, do not believe.

Leftwing Christian and Jewish suicides founded UN, sank “Christian” Europe and are sinking “Christian” America. In comparison to them, Muslim terrorists are just little mongrel dogs.

Is there a way out from the socialism ravaging among Christians and Jews, enslaving and threatening nations? Is there solution for the Muslim terrorism? How to escape from the “salvation” that Obama, Lula, UN, and leftwing Christian and Jewish suicides are offering to the world?

The only salvation to Christians, Jews and Muslims is the greatest Jew in History: King Jesus Christ.

The cost of the high popularity of Lula

Notwithstanding his anti-life and anti-family policies, huge state investments in propaganda ensure popularity for Lula

Julio Severo

Brazilian newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo reported, “Approval ratings for Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva rose from 78% on March to 80% on June, according to data from the CNI/Ibope polls released June 9. The percentage of respondents considering the Lula administration very good or good also improved: it went up from 64% to 68%. The rates of those disapproving the Lula administration fell from 19% to 16%”.

Certainly, the respondents were not asked whether or not they approve the policies of the Lula administration supporting publicly homosexuality and abortion, or if they are pleased with the pornographic sex education their children receive in the public schools. Yet, how can an administration so dedicated to homosexuality and abortion remain protected from necessary criticism from most of the Brazilian media and additionally experience growth in its popularity?

Its secret is in the… pocket. The pocket of the government, which has — our — too money to invest in whatever it wants. And the pocket of the Brazilian mainstream media, which receives money from the government exclusively to raise the popularity of Lula.

Only in 2008, an impressive figure of 5,297 newspapers, magazines, radios and TVs were paid — with taxpayer money — to spread propaganda favorable to the Lula administration, surpassing even huge companies, as Fiat, which put ads in 206 different media outlets, and Itaú Bank, which invested in 176.

On May, the Lula administration released the official figures of how much it spent in advertising from 2003 to 2008. The expenditure was an exorbitant sum of 6.3 billion in Brazilian Real. Without this sky-rocketing investment, the role of the Brazilian press would change from beneficiary and propagandist of the government into a free media to criticize or commend government acts.

Besides, the government has its own tricks to remove critic journalists, making the Brazilian “free” press merely a category of exploiters and suckers which do not work disconnected from the government interests and money.

In their careless and well-paid state, the Brazilian media has no motivation to fulfill a role of authentic free press.

With the persuasion through the pocket, even Hell could insure popularity to itself. Especially in times of crisis, when newspapers, TVs and radios around the world are going bankrupt, any money coming from the government is welcome.

So millionaire investments from state companies as Petrobras, Bank of Brazil and Caixa Econômica Federal in “innocent” ads keep the Brazilian “free” press “free” from the disposition to criticize the government, which is their ally and investor.

The “state benevolence” works to reach the rich and poor, equally. When it comes to buy popularity, the Lula administration makes no discrimination of persons. To the rich who have radio and TV stations, it bestows the concession fund. (Have you ever noticed that almost all ministers and bishops owning TVs in Brazil are “friends” of Lula?) To the poor, it bestows the family fund. To the media, it bestows the advertising fund. Would it be wonder that so a “benevolent” administration could not insure a high popularity?

Would it be impossible for Lula to get a third term? All is dependent on the pocket persuasion! Most Brazilians, political or otherwise, are not able to resist that persuasion.

The Lula administration may be an ethical, moral, spiritual and economic failure in many aspects, but at least it knows how to “conquer” the support from public and media.

He who wins smiles. That is why the TV station owners are smiling. They have their reasons. They are paid for it. But many Brazilians, who are not getting anything, smile stupidly to the propaganda of an administration that sodomizes the innocence of their children in the schools and, antagonizing the will of the most population, strives to promote abortion and homosexuality. They pay the bill and additionally smile.

In the past they used to say that the best propaganda is character. When one does not have character, billions from taxpayers are spent. Just in the last year, the Lula administration spent 1 billion only in ads in the media, making itself the biggest advertiser in Brazil. Is it strange then the hesitance in the Brazilian media to address the scandals of Lula and his administration?

In Cold Blood: What Truman Capote did not want you to know

How a gay writer became famous covering up the homosexuality of a gay couple who killed an evangelical family

50 years after the hideous slaughter of the Clutter family, Brazilian writer Julio Severo questions Truman Capote and his book

By Julio Severo

“Homophobia” crimes are, spurred by gay activists, fast becoming an incessant and omnipresent propaganda in the liberal media. Such propaganda is leading most people to see homosexuals as eternal innocent victims and the rest of society as potential oppressors. Crimes committed by homosexuals? This is a new thing!

No, this is not a new thing. Fifty years ago, a heinous slaughter happened in Holcomb, Kansas. On November 16, 1959, The New York Times published the following account of the crime:

Holcomb, Kan., Nov. 15 [1959] (UPI) — A wealthy wheat farmer, his wife and their two young children were found shot to death today in their home. They had been killed by shotgun blasts at close range after being bound and gagged... There were no signs of a struggle, and nothing had been stolen. The telephone lines had been cut. [1]

Methodist Herbert Clutter and his family were brutally bound, gagged and murdered in their home. That crime inspired a 1966 book and movie that became famous: In Cold Blood.

I read the book for the first time 30 years ago and I was impressed and intrigued by how a hard-working, benevolent and modest Methodist family was tragically murdered by two ex-cons. The book’s author, Truman Capote (1924-1984), led readers through the bizarre details of the slaughter, but his work left some important questions unanswered.

I read the book several times and for years I asked myself the questions, “What happened? How could such a fine family be cruelly slaughtered? There is something strange in this account”. Nevertheless, I trusted in the author and I believed in his version of the facts. Only many years later did I come to personally investigate Capote and his book.

According to Capote, the objective of the two criminals was only robbery, and the peace-loving family would be willing to deliver everything. Why were not the two men content only to rob? Why did they murder in cold blood Herbert Clutter, his wife and their innocent teenage son and daughter who already were bound and completely defenseless? What accounts for such a malicious and irrational crime?

The cold omission

The investigative journalism used in In Cold Blood was considered a pioneering and monumental work. But today it is known that Truman Capote was not completely truthful. His journalism committed monumental omissions.

J. J. Maloney, an investigative journalist and author of the website www.crimemagazine.com, provided convincing evidence that murderers Smith and Hickock had begun a homosexual relationship in prison, and that at the Clutter house Smith had “exploded” when he found Hickcock intent on raping the bound Nancy Clutter. At this point, Smith challenged Hickock to kill the family. This fact, according to Maloney, was concealed because Capote had ulterior motives. For him, Capote reported the crime dishonestly. [2]

The two criminals were homosexual lovers and the murder of the innocent evangelical family took place because one of the criminals wanted to rape the bound 16-year-old Nancy Clutter. The homosexual partner, jealous that he was exchanged for a beautiful blond girl, quarrels with his lover. That was an important fact that the investigative journalism of Capote completely omitted.

This quarrel involving homosexual jealousy resulted in a high cost: Herbert Clutter, his wife and teenage children, all gagged, were viciously shot and stabbed to death.

Why did the renowned journalist Capote cover up the homosexual motivation for the murders?

Cold fabrications

Even though In Cold Blood is announced as a factual “True Crime” account, numerous critics have challenged the veracity of the book, arguing that Capote changed facts to suit his story, added scenes which never occurred, re-created dialogue and left out the homosexuality of the criminals.

Author Phillip K. Tompkins who traveled to Kansas and interviewed people connected to the crime wrote in Esquire magazine in 1966 that there were significant discrepancies in scenes related by Capote. One witness even denied the veracity of an important scene Capote wrote about. [3]

Are the fabrications and omissions in Capote’s book the result of journalistic incompetence or were there really ulterior motives for covering up the truth?

A troubled homosexual writing of troubled homosexuals…

Like the criminals he wrote about, Capote also had his homosexual partners… His two main boyfriends, united to him in non-exclusive relationships, were Newton Arvin (from 1946 to 1949) and Jack Dunphy (from 1949 to Capote’s death). He was openly homosexual at a time when it was socially acceptable among artists, but rarely talked about.

He professed to have had numerous liaisons with men thought to be heterosexual, including, he claimed, actor Errol Flynn. He traveled in eclectic circles, hobnobbing with authors, critics, business tycoons, philanthropists, Hollywood and theatrical celebrities, royalty, and members of high society, both in the U.S. and abroad.

The homosexuality of Capote was not something new. His 1948 “fiction” book Other Voices, Other Rooms introduced the character Joel, a young man who, through a meeting with a decadent adult transvestite, discovers and learns to accept his own homosexuality. Later Capote himself confessed that Joel was an unconscious, altogether intuitive attempt of being autobiographical: He had written about what was going on sexually in own his life.

Other Voices, Other Rooms was written before In Cold Blood, and it skillfully shows the ability of Capote to maneuver homosexuality and characters involved in it.

Capote led a troubled existence, since the beginning of his life. When he was four, his parents, always fighting, got divorced. His mother, who was an alcoholic and got involved in several affairs, had no time for him. Eventually, she committed suicide.

In the late 1970s, Capote was in and out of rehab clinics, for drugs, depression and heavy drinking, and news of his various breakdowns frequently reached the public. In 1978, talk show host Stanley Siegal did a live on-air interview with Capote, who, in an extraordinarily intoxicated state, confessed that he might kill himself.

After his 1948 discreetly homosexual biographical Other Voices, Other Rooms, he launched, in 1955, a work only for children: Children on Their Birthdays.

Cold cover-up: Why did In Cold Blood leave homosexuality out?

Homosexual liaisons, drugs, depression, heavy drinking, a work for children, the cover-up of the gay factor in the horrible murder of an evangelical family by a homosexual couple. What is wrong with this picture?

Is it any wonder that In Cold Blood Capote was careful not to mention terms like homosexual, homosexuality or sodomy? Nevertheless, his career peaked with this book, making him famous and rich.

The difference between In Cold Blood and his other books is that in the others Capote used his style that, according to the homosexual website www.GLBTQ.com, had codes for homosexual interpretations that were easily seen.

Yet, he did not let In Cold Blood have any code or suspicion of homosexuality in the criminals. This is, homosexuality, which was so common in his other books, was strangely missing in his account of an innocent Methodist family murdered by two homosexual men.

Capote ultimately spent six years working on In Cold Blood. A large part of the story involves the dynamic psychological relationship of the two felons that culminated in this senseless crime. He held long personal interviews with both Smith and Hickock. Smith especially fascinated Capote, being portrayed in the book as the more sensitive and guilt-ridden of the two killers. Rumors of a romantic and even sexual relationship between Smith and Capote still linger to this day.

Homosexuals and novels: the foreseeable result

Capote is considered the creator of the non-fiction novel and a pioneer in the New Journalism, because of In Cold Blood. The difference between him and his Brazilian homosexual counterpart Aguinaldo Silva, a writer of fiction novels, is the way both address the homosexual issue in their works.

While Silva in his fiction novels presents evangelicals in scenes of violence and aggression against homosexuals, in his novel Capote covered up homosexual aggression in a horrendous case of violence against an evangelical family — a case that is not fiction. Only in his fiction novels Capote let his characters out of the closet

I read In Cold Blood with no suspicion of homosexual motivation for the crime. How could I know that the homosexual passion of the author was guiding and determining the account of a crime against an evangelical family? For me, In Cold Blood was everything and anything, except a homosexual crime.

The same shrewdness of Capote that skillfully introduced homosexuality in his novels and books just as skillfully covered it up in In Cold Blood. He maneuvered it conveniently, because his journalism was at service of his passion.

Homosexual passion, which skillfully maneuvers the gay agenda in the media, has a very high social cost: The innocent eventually are victimized, and fabrications are used to cover up homosexual crimes.

Liberal journalism and homosexualist opportunism: what is fiction and reality on the homosexual debate

There are so many fabrications that you would have a hard time separating fiction from reality.

There are so many lies that society is becoming blind to the truth of homosexuality behind many violent crimes and believing the fiction that innocent evangelical families, ministers and priests are responsible for crimes against homosexuals

Modern journalism, manipulated by homofascist influence, not only covers up the homosexual authorship of crimes, but also strives to impose on Christians the authorship of crimes against homosexuals — crimes that often involve risky social behavior, poor moral choices or immature emotional reactions such as jealousy among gay partners.

Ministers, priests and other Christian leaders answer the false charges cowering in a corner and repeating incessantly and sheepishly, “We are not killers of homosexuals! We love homosexuals!” Rather than boldly proclaiming God’s warning of the consequences of sinful behavior, many Christian leaders now fear to say anything which might “offend” the homosexual thought police.

Homosexual militants seem to demand of Christians an apology for the “crime” of disagreeing with their chosen lifestyle, but do they give an accounting for what happened on In Cold Blood and other violent episodes perpetrated by homosexuals? Of course they do not. They hide the truth — including the fact, recorded in my Portuguese book O Movimento Homossexual, that the greatest serial killers in the US were homosexual — and then aggressively raise “homophobia” charges against Christians.

Shrewd gays are always ready to manipulate almost anything in the media. Were homosexuals murdered? Label it “homophobic” crimes, and demand special laws, rights, etc. Was a Christian family murdered by gays? Cover up the homosexual factor and let some shrewd homosexual writer earn a lot of money and fame with it!

Was Hitler a homosexual? Label anti-sodomy Christians as Fascists! According to German historian Lothar Machtan, Hitler and many Nazi leaders were gay. But this is no problem. Because of the “example” of Hitler, who murdered some of his fellow gays to cover up homosexuality in himself and in the Nazi Party, modern gays shrewdly demand special protection and more and more rights, and if some Christian protests, they call him a bigoted Nazi.

Even George Orwell, in his famous 1984, could not foresee so much paranoid inversion!

The reality of “homophobic” crimes in Brazil

In Brazil, if you walk through a prostitution or drug district at 2 am, you run the risk of losing your life. If you are not a homosexual, the violence against you is recorded as usual violence, but if you are a homosexual, the violence against you will likely be labeled as a “homophobic” crime. By sheer coincidence, Brazilian transvestites love to walk through prostitution and drug districts at 2 am! Is it any wonder that most of the murders of homosexuals in Brazil recorded as “homophobic” crimes are of transvestites?

Herbert Clutter had no such high risk behavior and he and his family were not visiting a prostitution and drug district at 2 am. Yet, a gay couple went to him. Today, if the high risk couple had been a victim of Clutter, the “homophobic” label would be imposed on Clutter, and the crime would be used for an aggressive advancement of the gay agenda.

But, even when the whole Clutter family is the victim, shrewd gays manage to take advantage. Capote made a lot of money with the Clutter slaughter, and I wonder how many other slaughters of innocent families, where the authors are gay, are producing money and fame to greedy individuals.

Of course, all murderers are not gay, and all gays are not murderers. But it is impossible to deny the fact that homosexuality is a high risk behavior and one of the factors behind many horrendous crimes. The Clutter family is only a very small sample.

Even after undeniable homosexual crimes, are Christians forced to remain in a defensive position?

Shoving Christians to the uncomfortable, tiring and unpleasing defensive position under the load of countless harsh and fictional “anti-homophobia” accusations, homosexual strategists call so much attention to misleading journalistic propaganda that few people note the criminal consequences of homosexual behavior. That strategy gives them ample opportunity to promote the gay agenda in society.

Modern-day homosexual journalists know how to use criminal coverage to favor the gay agenda. Fictional “homophobic” crimes have become a springboard for the conquest of many social privileges, fame and money. Capote, in his time, did not have such opportunity and inspiration. But even with no anti-“homophobia” strategy available, he made the most of a crime involving homosexuals and committed against an innocent Christian family to get fame and money for himself.

If it had been written in our time, perhaps In Cold Blood could show the two homosexual criminals coming out of the closet and it could suggest that the cause for the slaughter was some “homophobic” reaction from the bound and gagged evangelical family.

Be that it may be, Truman Capote was able to make much money and fame with the tragedy of an evangelical family. He deserves a gay Oscar for his incalculable services for the journalistic protection of homosexuality.

Where is the truth?

Is In Cold Blood representative of the manipulation of all homosexual journalists? No. There is a minority of homosexual authors and journalists who are honest and balanced in their writing and disagree with manipulation and lies. Similarly, even though there are also many heterosexual authors and journalists who are manipulative and deceitful in their use of the media, they are not representative of all their heterosexual peers. There is a small number of heterosexual authors and journalists who hate lies.

However, the sad truth is that at the present time Christian heterosexuals are being cast more and more in a distorted and dishonest light in an apparent attempt to make them responsible for many crimes against homosexuals. And many crimes perpetrated by homosexuals are spun in such a way as to hide that fact from public opinion.

Homosexuality, truth and honesty

In Brazil Congressman Clodovil Hernandes (1937-2009), an open homosexual, had never given any support to homosexual rights. In fact, he was a public enemy of Marta Suplicy, the pro-abortion, socialist, feminist, US-educated congresswoman who introduced in the House of Representatives of Brazil a pioneering same-sex partnership bill in 1985.

In a recent interview, made by Veja magazine a few days before his death, the reporter asked Clodovil, “Why have you never introduced any bill defending homosexual rights?”

Clodovil, who was not a Christian, replied, “God forbid! Which rights? The right to make gay parades? I have no pride to have sex with men”.

Like Capote, Clodovil was an homosexual, but differently from Capote, he never covered up the truth about his homosexuality.

Truth is not a game and it is not a prisoner of anyone. Those who choose to manipulate it or hide it eventually become accomplices and prisoners of lies. Convenient or not, important truth should never be covered up, but be always accessible to the public. Even though it is avoided by many in the media, those who strive to serve and honor the truth, whether they are journalists or not, whether they are authors or not, make a great service to humankind and are worthy of honor.

Truth is important. Clodovil, who in the past was a known host of TV programs, was honest and truthful about his own flaws and the reality of his lifestyle. He died recently as one of the most admired Brazilians and as the most respected Brazilian homosexual.

Honesty and truth, whether in a homosexual or heterosexual, whether in a journalist or not, draw admiration and respect.

Where All This Persecution is Heading

Bill Muehlenberg

As a young believer I marvelled at stories of persecuted Christians in the early church. The horrible suffering, torture and death they faced were incredible to learn about. I often wondered what such persecution would be like.

Well we are now quickly finding this out. All around the world Christianity is coming under severe attack. Those who stand up for pro-faith, pro-life and pro-family values are increasingly becoming pariahs in their own lands. Sometimes the persecution gets so intense that the only course is to flee to another country, and hope the anti-Christian bigotry is less severe there.

A good case in point is Christian pro-life activist Julio Severo of Brazil. For years he has sought to stand up for biblical and family values, but he has paid a heavy price as a result. Indeed, things got so bad that he has recently been forced to flee Brazil as a political refugee. He is now an outcast from his own homeland.

His story has been told elsewhere, but I can offer a few highlights here. He had to flee Brazil because federal authorities sought to prosecute him following a complaint of “homophobia”. He had written an article on the nation’s Gay Parade in 2006, and because he did not take the PC line on this, he had now run afoul of the law.

Things went from bad to worse, so he eventually had to take his family and belongings and escape the pro-homosexual fascist government of Brazil. Said Severo, “faced with this absurdity, I was forced to leave the country with my family: a wife in the advanced stages of pregnancy and two little children. . . . At the same time, I am making another statement. I will not be silenced. The voice that God gave me will continue to be used to alert Brazil, whether I am in India, Kenya, Nicaragua, or any other country in the world.”

Indeed, the titles of recent related LifeSiteNews articles about Brazil show how bad things are in this nation:

http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2007/jul/07073108.html

But the story does not end there. There is a bit of good news to come out of all this. Severo has just sent a new email out, reporting how one of his homosexual persecutors has now found Christ, left the homosexual lifestyle, and apologised to Severo. Here is what the man (who wishes to remain anonymous for security reasons) has said:

“I am a former gay militant, and now I am on the way of recovery. . . . I entered the homosexual movement when I was 16 years old and I thought that it was serious, where we fought for respect and dignity. Today I know that they do not want this, but just power, and by misleading us that we would get dignity and respect, they took us to a diametrically opposed life.

“After four hard troubled years, I left the movement. In the last two years, I have been thinking over the matter…. I suffered depression, a suicide attempt, I took drugs and I attended psychiatrists. Well, nothing worked better than the Truth, even though it was difficult to digest. Today, more mature, more aware of the responsibilities I have, and of the consequences of my decisions, I resumed the way home. I returned to the educations I received in my childhood.

“I feel the Holy Spirit entering my messy bedroom (this is the way I imagine in my heart) and clear up the mess. I make mistakes, I sin and I pray. The Holy Spirit comes and once more clears us again. In that cycle of construction and destruction, I am more firm today.

“Even with two or three stumbles, it is reasonable to tell that I have been chaste for about one year. Also, I am away from drugs. I am on the process to make peace with myself. So I need firstly to forgive myself and ask forgiveness from those I harmed in some way in the past. This is the reason I got in touch with you.

“Julio, in the homosexual movement I played the role of a spy, an auscultator. Among others, your blog was one of those I followed with magnifying glass. Of course, I watched the communication among evangelicals, to know their stands and how you were articulating and coordinating your initiatives. I did not harm you directly, but my work was a small contribution, because there were and there are hundreds of activists like me, responsible for the attacks you have been suffering since 2005 (at least).

“The attacks took on the big form that they did because voluntary loggerheads like me helped. We helped even by planning strategies of ‘counterattacks’. We used to attack your messages, to harass you on Orkut [a Brazilian internet service as Facebook], and vilify you. I was a pig, a worthless, a wicked, and an impudent.

“I am having a hard time to write this message, because I am very ashamed. I am embarrassed to have to do it, but I need to do it. Julio Severo, I harassed you, I mocked you, I maligned you and your honor. I conspired against you. I was your enemy, as David told in Psalm 34.

“Julio, I mistook, I sinned, I committed offenses and insults against you. I am repentant. There is no justification for my crimes. Even so, trusting in your Christian morality, I want to ask your forgiveness. Julio, I am sorry for all the times I harmed you. I want you to know that if I could come back in time, I would not do it again. If at least I knew what I know today. Julio, please forgive me!

“You may tell my history, because I know that it will help other people to understand that militants do not seek respect and dignity, but power and domination. I am aware that through my mistakes, people may ‘get immunized’ against the dissimulation that you can see today.

“I only repeat that you should protect my identity, for God’s sake, because I am afraid of gay militants. I know arm and drug traffickers, and corrupt men of the State, and believe me Julio, I am less afraid of them than of the politically organized gay movement.

“I want you to tell my history as a way to amend my behavior, so that attentive parents may keep their children (gay or not) from following the same devious ways and help parents who already have children living in the queer way of life to reduce damages.”

What a moving and amazing testimony. And this is what Severo said in reply: “I forgive you, in the name of Jesus, for your harassments, mockeries and vilification against me and my honor. I forgive you, in the name of Jesus, for your conspiracies against me and for your enmity. I forgive you, in the name of Jesus, for your offenses and insults against me. I forgive you, in the name of Jesus, for all the times you harmed me.

“I want you to know that, even if you were still in the homosexual movement, nevertheless I would love you. The purpose of my articles is to take out from the homosexual movement so many victims as possible. I am glad that you left this destructive movement. I FORGIVE YOU!”

Severo says he posted all this for two reasons: “1. Because the young former activist needs your prayers, so that the Holy Spirit may lead him to the fullness of revelation and experience with Jesus Christ, the only Savior and Lord. 2. Because it is important that everybody may see that Jesus Christ can do all things, including delivering gay activists from the claws of lies and deception.”

So while the persecution is certainly heating up, the grace of God is always greater. To be honest, I don’t want to have to flee my country with my family because anti-Christian bigotry is getting out of control. But it is heading that way, and unless we all rise up and be counted, and make a stand, this will be our fate as well.

So let this be a lesson to everyone reading these pages. The outright persecution of the people of God is accelerating at rapid pace. We can either seek to fight this now while we have a chance, or we can simply sit idly by until it becomes too late. Then we will not have the freedom to speak out.

I leave you with a well-known saying of Martin Niemoller, German pastor and Holocaust survivor: “In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.”

Former gay militant asks forgiveness from Julio Severo

Young man leaves homosexual movement in search of a life in peace with himself

Julio Severo

Courage and sincerity make a man better and more human. Recently, a young man got in touch with me, opening himself and asking forgiveness.

He told,

I am a former gay militant, and now I am on the way of recovery. I perceived that the identitary movements are nothing more than Machiavellian plots where people are manipulated for political gains. I was not aware that [the gay agenda] was just the old scheme “divide to conquer”.

Today, I have understanding because of the lessons of Professor Olavo de Carvalho that it is a modus operandi typical of the revolutionary, reversing, Marxist-Leninist-Trotskista mindset.

I did not know it. I entered the homosexual movement when I was 16 years old and I thought that it was serious, where we fought for respect and dignity. Today I know that they do not want this, but just power, and by misleading us that we would get dignity and respect, they took us to a diametrically opposed life.

After four hard troubled years, I left the movement. In the last two years, I have been thinking over the matter, and learning from Professor Olavo, and reflecting about the things I was involved in. Everything has been very hard and painful for me.

I suffered depression, a suicide attempt, I took drugs and I attended psychiatrists. Well, nothing worked better than the Truth, even though it was difficult to digest. Today, more mature, more aware of the responsibilities I have, and of the consequences of my decisions, I resumed the way home. I returned to the educations I received in my childhood.

I feel the Holy Spirit entering my messy bedroom (this is the way I imagine in my heart) and clear up the mess. I make mistakes, I sin and I pray. The Holy Spirit comes and once more clears us again. In that cycle of construction and destruction, I am more firm today.

Even with two or three stumbles, it is reasonable to tell that I have been chaste for about one year. Also, I am away from drugs.

I am on the process to make peace with myself. So I need firstly to forgive myself and ask forgiveness from those I harmed in someday in the past. This is the reason I got in touch with you.

Julio, in the homosexual movement I played the role of a spy, an auscultator. Among others, your blog was one of those I followed with magnifying glass. Of course, I watched the communication among evangelicals, to know their stands and how you were articulating and coordinating your initiatives. I did not harm you directly, but my work was a small contribution, because there were and there are hundreds of activists like me, responsible for the attacks you have been suffering since 2005 (at least).

The attacks took on the big form that they did because voluntary loggerheads like me helped. We helped even by planning strategies of “counterattacks”. We used to attack your messages, to harass you on Orkut [a Brazilian internet service as Facebook], and vilify you. I was a pig, a worthless, a wicked, and an impudent.

I am having a hard time to write this message, because I am very ashamed. I am embarrassed to have to do it, but I need to do it.

Julio Severo, I harassed you, I mocked you, I maligned you and your honor. I conspired against you. I was your enemy, as David told in Psalm 34.

Julio, I mistook, I sinned, I committed offenses and insults against you. I am repentant. There is no justification for my crimes. Even so, trusting in your Christian morality, I want to ask your forgiveness.

Julio, I am sorry for all the times I harmed you. I want you to know that if I could come back in time, I would not do it again. If at least I knew what I know today. Julio, please forgive me!

You may tell my history, because I know that it will help other people to understand that militants do not seek respect and dignity, but power and domination. I am aware that through my mistakes, people may “get immunized” against the dissimulation that you can see today.

I only repeat that you should protect my identity, for God’s sake, because I am afraid of gay militants.

I know arm and drug traffickers, and corrupt men of the State, and believe me Julio, I am less afraid of them than of the politically organized gay movement.

I want you to tell my history as a way to amend my behavior, so that attentive parents may keep their children (gay or not) from following the same devious ways and help parents who already have children living in the queer way of life* to reduce damages.

*Queer way of life: for me is not limited to gays. It is embracing a liberal, politically correct (or epicurean) morality, marked by liberalism and amorality (or a relativization of morality) in the privative realm, ignoring the consequences of the one’s decisions on the public realm for the general well-being. For example: having sex in public squares. There are people lobbying to legalize it, and make it a vested right. I know it because I took part in these discussions.

For reason of security, I needed to edit some small parts of the account by the young former homosexual activist, and I cannot also reveal his name and other personal information. But I have a message to this new and precious friend:

I forgive you, in the name of Jesus, for your harassments, mockeries and vilification against me and my honor.

I forgive you, in the name of Jesus, for your conspiracies against me and for your enmity.

I forgive you, in the name of Jesus, for your offenses and insults against me.

I forgive you, in the name of Jesus, for all the times you harmed me.

I want you to know that, even if you were still in the homosexual movement, nevertheless I would love you. The purpose of my articles is to take out from the homosexual movement so many victims as possible. I am glad that you left this destructive movement.

I FORGIVE YOU!

I posted this text for two reasons:

1. Because the young former activist needs your prayers, so that the Holy Spirit may lead him to the fullness of revelation and experience with Jesus Christ, the only Savior and Lord.

2. Because it is important that everybody may see that Jesus Christ can do all things, including delivering gay activists from the claws of lies and deception.

Please, forward this message to intercessory groups, so that they may pray for this young man and for many others that are prisoners in the homosexual movement.

Pro-Life Group Convicted of Calling an Abortion Activist an "Abortionist" is Refused Appeal by Brazilian Supreme Court

By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman, Latin America Correspondent

ROME, June 17, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Supreme Federal Tribunal of Brazil has allowed a decision to stand condemning a pro-life organization for calling a pro-abortion anthropologist an "abortionist anthropologist" in a caption below a photo of the woman, taken while she debated in favor of the legalization of abortion.

The word "abortista" (abortionist) in Portuguese is commonly used to refer to individuals, groups, or ideologies that defend the legalization of abortion, one of whom is anthropologist Debora Diniz Rodrigues. However, a lower court had ruled that the language "gravely offends her personal honor and dignity."

The photo and caption were ordered removed by the court (see original page with photo removed here).

With the Supreme Federal Tribunal's decision to refuse to hear the case, the decision against the Brazilian pro-life organization Pro-Vida Aanapolis, will stand.

Fr. Luiz Carlos Lodi da Cruz, president of the organization, commented to LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) that "the episode shows that religious persecution is now in process in our country. Whoever wishes to defend life, should be prepared for everything."

Although the judges in the original trial condemned Pro-Vida Anapolis for calling Rodrigues an "abortionist," Lodi da Cruz told LifeSiteNews that "the judges were unable to say what other word I could have (or should have) used."

After the Supreme Federal Tribunal's decision to hear the case, "there is nothing more to do," according to Lodi da Cruz. "We were condemned in the first instance, in the second instance, and we were not received by the Supreme Federal Tribunal."

The decision sets yet another precedent against freedom of speech in Brazil for pro-life and pro-family organizations. Prominent pro-family activists and organizations have been repeatedly targeted for investigation and prosecution by the Brazilian government in recent years.

In May, government authorities announced plans to censor statements made on television denouncing homosexual behavior, claiming that they are not appropriate for children under 18 years of age. Such programming will be moved out of daytime television to the after 11 pm slot, and will contain a government-imposed "warning."

In addition, Brazilian President Luiz Lula recently gave a speech before homosexual activists, promising to continue pushing for a "homophobia" law that critics charge will completely eliminate the right to criticize homosexual behavior in Brazil.

World amazed by unprecedented address by President Lula at the UN Human Rights Council

International community welcomes Brazilian president tackling important ethical issues in a fair way

Julio Severo

Brazilian President Lula da Silva delivered an important address at the Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva, on 15 June 2009, where he affirmed that the protection and promotion of human rights have been a central part of his administration.

In his speech, he used as example the case of the Cuban athletes that requested asylum in Brazil in 2007. Given that they were innocent citizens suffering oppression from a communist government internationally recognized as violator of the human rights of countless thousands of Cubans, the Lula administration promptly granted them asylum and protection.

Lula also made it clear that if the three Cubans had a terrorist history, they would rapidly be deported.

In that occasion, Lula sharply criticized governments that protect human-rights abusers, not their victims. He used as an example a hypocritical government that refused to grant asylum to the Cuban athletes, but gave asylum to an Italian terrorist, accused of murdering several people. He also deplored that this same government is shamefully sheltering a high-ranking leader of Al Qaeda, the leading Muslim terrorist group in the world, and granted asylum to one of the leaders of the Colombia-based FARC, the chief terrorist drug-trafficking group in the world.

“In a democratic society, the protection of human rights of victims should be given priority”, Lula told under UN applause. “It is unimaginable that in our century governments and political officials would entertain ideas of defending and protecting terrorists and oppressors. I ask you to use as model my administration, which guarantees the protection of the most oppressed and weakest. Since the conception, the integrity of Brazilians is guaranteed. I do not permit and I will never permit that murderers, rapists, terrorists, political opportunists and other human-rights abusers may be identified and labeled unfairly as victims, to the detriment of real innocent victims. This is why in my administration abortion is considered one of the biggest abuses against human rights”.

In that point, the UN Human Rights Council contained itself no more. Everybody rose up and acclaimed Lula for a long time. At last, a man decided and engaged in the fight and defense of the most defenseless.

Weeks ago, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, tried to give a better address. He was able only to condemn governments and leaders that, even after the Nazi atrocities against Jews, insist on denying the Holocaust. As a moderate and peace-loving Muslim, Ahmadinejad criticized governments that fund terrorist groups against Israel, making it clear that Arabs and Jews have the same right to live and have their own homeland.

Ahmadinejad was outdid by Lula, whose comprehensive speech defended universal human rights, stressing that the continuous terrorist threats Israel has suffered for decades is a highly worrisome issue. Lula demanded immediate action against these threats.

Ahmadinejad did not attend the address of Lula, because Iranian opposers, enemies of the peace politics of Ahmadinejad, want to throw down his administration. Even far away, Ahmadinejad was moved by the speech of his friend Lula.

Concluding, Lula declared that in a democratic world nations with tyrannical governments as Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela and others should suffer heavy sanctions for their violations of human rights, demanding forceful international measures for the protection of the innocent. “As a commitment of my administration, I open the doors of Brazil to welcome Christians and other persecuted people from Cuba, North Korea and China”.

So was concluded the memorable address of Lula at the UN Human Rights Council.

So comes to an end your dream.

But the nightmare goes on, because the tyrannical governments and behaviors presented in this article reflect faithfully reality. Just the role and behavior of Lula and Ahmadinejad are products of my dreams and wishes. The human rights address and defense of the innocent by Lula are absolute fiction.

Differently from this dream, Lula never granted asylum to the three Cuban athletes, who were not terrorists. He deported them swiftly. But he granted asylum to Cesare Battisti, an Italian communist terrorist who killed several people in Italy. He granted asylum to the infamous Fr. Olivério Medina, one of the FARC leaders. And his administration tried to cover up one of the Al Qaeda leaders.

Besides, his administration, which is known for fighting to remove legal protections and human rights from unborn babies to meet the abortion demands of the UN and international groups, condemns Israel at UN, flatters Muslim nations enemies of Israel, flatters and supports communist terrorists of the Brazilian past, treats military men who delivered Brazil from communism as criminals, treats rapists and murderers as deservers of human rights and disarms the innocent Brazilian population victimized by heavily armed criminals, who murder more than 50,000 Brazilians a year.

In the Lula address at the UN Human Rights Council on June 15, even liberals criticized Lula. Human Rights Watch declared, “Lula should explain why Brazil is using its vote in the council to protect countries with appalling human rights records. Rather than speaking up for victims, Brazil often argues that governments need to be given a chance and that the sovereignty of nations is more important than human rights. Brazil is siding with human rights violators rather than with their victims”.

Other human rights groups, which attended the Lula speech at the UN, also criticized the hypocrisy of the Brazilian government.

LifeSiteNews Launches Portuguese Version: Notícias Pró-Família

By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman, Latin America Correspondent

GUADALAJARA, June 4, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) — LifeSiteNews.com, the internet’s most-read international pro-life and pro-family news service, has launched a parallel service in Portuguese.

The new service, Notícias Pró-Família (Pro-Family News) is currently hosted on Google’s Blogger system, at http://noticiasprofamilia.blogspot.com. However, LifeSiteNews plans to move the service to its own website before long.

Notícias Pró-Família posts one to two new articles daily, translated by Julio Severo, one of Brazil’s most prominent pro-family activists. Severo currently lives in self-imposed exile from Brazil to avoid prosecution for criticizing the country’s powerful homosexualist movement, which is supported by President Luiz Lula da Silva.

LifeSiteNews Managing Director and co-founder Steve Jalsevac said about the new service: “We have long understood there is a need for our news reports to be made available in other languages since the attacks on life and family are being experienced around the world. We have had repeated requests for other language versions of LifeSiteNews, especially from readers in Latin America. This is our first humble attempt to meet that great need.”

Jalsevac added that he hopes “some extra generous LifeSiteNews readers will come forward to financially support this crucial effort to report the truth, especially its expansion into developing nations that are under intense assault by massively financed depopulation groups.” He also stressed that LifeSiteNews works closely with Human Life International, the Population Research Institute and other international life and family-supportive organizations that consider LifeSiteNews reports necessary for their work.

“I have wanted to see LifeSiteNews in Portuguese for many years, during which time I have translated into Portuguese many LSN articles, never for personal gain, but exclusively to make available to Brazilians important information on family and life issues,” commented Severo.

“Brazil has suffered massive anti-life investments from powerful anti-family foundations in America and Europe, including from the UN. I am very glad that LifeSiteNews accepted the challenge to invest in quality Portuguese pro-life and pro-family news in Brazil.”

Christian shows face ban from daytime TV in Brazil

Christian TV programmes that mention the Bible’s teaching on homosexual conduct face being banned from daytime viewing by the Brazilian government.

The government has already proposed that a notice should be broadcast before such Christian programmes, warning viewers that the shows are not recommended for people under the age of 18.

Brazil’s Justice Secretary told a newspaper there that while such programmes would be restricted to after 11pm, “the ideal is that they not be shown at any time.”

A critic of the move, Peter LaBarbera, said: “It seems that the Brazilian government is moving towards a pro-homosexual totalitarianism which directly impinges on the rights of Christians to be Christian.”

Pro-family campaigner Julio Severo said: “Catholic radio and TV shows now run the risk of being rated as ‘morally harmful,’ ‘homophobic’ and ‘unsuitable for children and teens’.”

If the policy is carried out in accordance with Brazilian President Luiz Lula’s definition of “homophobia,” the new restrictions will effectively ban public statements on television that identify homosexual behaviour as sinful or unhealthy.

President Lula is also seeking to pass an “anti-homophobia” law that would ban any public criticism of homosexuals or homosexual behaviour.

He recently reiterated his commitment to “criminalise words or acts that are offensive to homosexuality”.

The British government is determined to remove a free speech clause from the offence of ‘inciting hatred on grounds of sexual orientation’.

The clause makes clear that mere criticism of homosexual conduct is not, in itself, a crime. It was approved by Parliament last year but Gordon Brown’s government wants to remove it.

“Homophobic” Christian TV on the outs in Brazil?

Charlie Butts — OneNewsNow

The Brazilian government is seeking to ban from daytime television what it refers to as “homophobic” Christian programming.

The government initially wants to put up a disclaimer that the shows are not recommended for people under the age of 18. A Brazilian government official told a newspaper there that while such programs would be restricted to after 11:00 p.m., “the ideal is that they not be shown at any time.”

Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality offers his reaction. “It seems that the Brazilian government is moving towards a pro-homosexual totalitarianism which directly impinges on the rights of Christians to be Christian,” he shares. “I think that this is a very dangerous road, and we need to be watching it from the United States.”

The move, he points out, also means children will not be getting the biblical view on the subject from television.

“This is the new socialism, which now appears to be directly repressing biblical speech on the issue of homosexuality — and we need to watch it because there are socialist advocates in the United States,” LaBarbera cautions. “The idea that Christian programming needs to be labeled as... ‘homophobic’ is just bizarre, but it’s very dangerous that this is being done so openly.”

The family advocate believes the Brazilian government is so beholden to its homosexual allies that it is directly suppressing speech. He contends that homosexual activists know there is little support for homosexuality in the South American country, so they want to suppress opposition to it before it mounts.

The omnipotence of the Brazilian state

Augusto Zimmermann

If statism is defined as an ideology which provides a preferential role for the state in society, placing the state as the main agent of social action and transformation, this sort of statism is very pervasive in Brazilian society. It unites people from all social classes and ideological inclinations.

Brazilians seem to expect just about everything from the State. From jobs, stable prices, credit, subsidies for carnival masquerades, there is hardly anything for which the government is not expected to provide. It is not that the ruling elite in Brazil comprises only bureaucrats but rather that the state bureaucracy is the base to which all other groups adhere either through alliance or dependence. Since the state is the ultimate provider of resources, “the citizenry expects to live at government expense and under full protection”.

Consequently, statism has been supported in Brazil by old-fashioned socialists, neo-mercantilist businessmen, conservatives who oppose social change, the military, privileged bureaucrats, intellectuals who seek after state subvention, and all sorts of “compassionate” individuals who think the state is the only entity with power to reduce social inequalities.

To understand the intrinsic correlation between statism and Brazilian-style corruption, for instance, one needs to consider the reality of a state that has historically been above society. Statism in Brazil is a by-product of an old “spoils-system” inherited from Portugal, a country where the monarch granted to his staff, and preferred subjects, all sorts of graces and favours at the expense of the law.

Statism also finds its early roots in Portugal's disdain for individual freedom and initiative. In Portugal’s Catholic medieval hierarchy, the class of entrepreneurs (traders) was ranked lowest on the social scale. In that country, “as in Communist China and Marxist Russia”, C.R. Boxer commented, “the merchant was regarded as a parasitic and profiteering middle-man, resolved to enrich himself at the expanse of his fellow-men”.

During colonial times, the Portuguese Crown possessed an enormous variety of commercial monopolies, ranging from the importation of sugar to the control of the soap industry. Regional and district monopolies were granted to favoured individuals and courtiers. Even the manufacture and sale of soap was, for centuries, monopolised by the Crown. In 1660, for instance, the white soap monopoly of Lisbon was granted to a Carmelite nun, the Countess of Calheta, on condition she gave a share of the profits to two distinguished general officers, Dom Luís de Menezes and Gil Vaz Lobo. According to Boxer:

It would take too long to enumerate… all the overseas sources of wealth which were exploited by the Crown at one time or another, whether in the form of a (theoretically) rigorous monopoly, or a percentage of the profits, or in the way of Customs duties and export and import dues … Even such trivia as river ferry-crossings and the dues from washermen, limeburners and fishermen were often rented out by the Crown or by its representatives. Perhaps more than any other country, it was a long-established practice in Portugal for the Crown (and its successor republic) to farm out the smallest public offices which might be expected to produce any revenue; and the same procedure was followed in Portuguese India, Ceylon, Africa and Brazil.

Another factor that contributed to the growth of statism was slavery, which lasted longer in Brazil than in any other nation in the Western world, only being abolished in 1888. In his 1879 visit to the country, US historian Herbert H. Smith associated slavery with a “culture of indolence, pride, and selfishness” that, in his opinion, made many Brazilians aspire to live “as parasites on others or on the government”. In brief, slavery left as its heritage a mass trained to be dependent on the government and others. According to the late historian José Honório Rodrigues:

It was not recognised that ... poverty could be overcome by work and saving. Work was scorned; it was reserved exclusively for slaves. No attention was paid to saving, with the result that the capital required for possession and enjoyment of the riches so greatly vaunted in speeches was never accumulated.

Centuries of slavery had indeed the effect of debasing the value of labour and perverting the sense of individual liberty and responsibility. It left “deep prejudices against active life … and disinclination to serious endeavour in the areas of commerce and industry”, thus generating a society with marked contempt for any work other than that of a public position.

The State became, in the words of the great abolitionist (anti-slavery) leader Joaquim Nabuco, “the refuge of the descendents of the rich and noble families who squandered the fortunes acquired through slavery”. Nabuco established the intrinsic connection between slavery and statism as follows:

Among the classes which slavery artificially generates, the largest is that of the public employees. The close relationship between slavery and the epidemic of bureaucratism is not more open to doubt than the relationship between it and the superstition of the All-Providing State. Under that system, the government is counted on for everything.

Being the only active organisation, the state covets and absorbs all disposable capital by means of taxation and loans, distributing among its clients by means of public employment, absorbing the savings of the poor through inflation and rendering precarious the fortunes of the well-to-do. Any twenty or thirty Brazilians to be met wherever our most cultivated society gathers can provide the example. All of them either once were, or now are, or will one day be public employees; and if not they themselves, then their sons.

Complaints over excessive statism were commonplace throughout the country’s period of constitutional monarchy (1822-89). In 1870, prominent politician A.C. Tavares Bastos argued that there existed in Brazil a “fear of companies”, which he directly associated with an “anachronistic tradition of despotism that denies the modern spirit of liberty”.

In fact, as early as 1853 entrepreneurs like the Viscount of Mauá complained that “everything is expected from the government and that individual initiative does not exist”. He argued that any economic activity depended on “official sensibilities” continuing to exist, and that people were much inclined to consider the state as the “tutor” (paternal protector) of society. As a result, the most successful businesspeople were merely “clients” of the landed gentry who controlled the state machinery and expected to receive “unbearable tutelage of the government”. They saw this as an easier means of acquiring wealth than through work and production.

Unfortunately, the reality of statism hasn’t changed over the years. Brazil’s most successful business people are still neo-mercantilists who practice all sorts of cartel capitalism with the state. Under the pretext of defending “national interest”, they request privileges such as preferential interest rates and special loans from state banks and other governmental agencies, which they often do not have to repay. As a result, law professor William Prillaman explains, “aspiring entrepreneurs are unable to seek relief, because economic decision-making is based on political concerns rather than rational dictates of the rule of law”.

This kind of cartel capitalism is developed when the government exercises its power for the enrichment of private interests. It involves, in countries like Brazil, a form of embezzlement of national wealth disguised as protection of the so-called “national interest”.

The deleterious effects of statism in Brazil were aggravated in the 1960s with the ascension to power of nationalistic military officers. At the end of their long, authoritarian regime in March 1985, these army rulers left behind more than 600 state-owned companies. By 1983, state companies accounted for three-quarters of the assets and half of the sales, profits, and employment of the 200 largest corporations. In 1985, government expenditure represented 37.6 per cent of GDP, by far the highest of all countries in Latin America.

The bureaucratic sector charged with managing this huge and notoriously inefficient, state machinery resembled in many respects the notorious nomenklatura of the former communist regimes in Eastern Europe. Some of these state employees worked only nine months a year and yet received a salary that was the equivalent of 16 working months. In an attempt to finance the numerous privileges of these bureaucrats, Brazil has become one of most heavily taxed nations in the world. Unfortunately, many of these privileges have not been abolished. For example, in today’s Brazil, John Fitzpatrick says:

While the government’s subsidies amount to almost R$25,000 (US$8,000) a year for former state employees, the subsidy for “normal” pensioners who get the ordinary state pension is less than R$1,000 (US$320). Pensions take up so much of government spending that the state has little left for other social benefits. Since there are not enough contributors to fund this long-term generosity, the government makes subsidies amounting to more than 5 per cent of GDP to keep the system solvent. Since the government does not have this money it has to borrow and pay sky-high interest rates to do so.

The state bureaucracy, however, has over the present “democratic” period managed to retain its traditional power and prestige in society. They have convinced many Brazilians that the archaic model of national-statism is still a valid option in terms of socio-economic development. They have been able to do this even though a May 2001 document of Transparency International reveals that a sound process of privatisation would “significantly reduce the amount of resources and positions subjected to political bargain”.

Regardless of its would-be federal organisation, the collective fancy in Brazil is still dominated by the omnipotence of the state as the ultimate provider and protector of the citizen. Hence, despite the military period eventually coming to an end (1964-85), statist traditions have survived in a society invariably “colonised” by the bureaucratisation of social life. Arguably, societies with extensive public property holdings, as is the case in Brazil, are vulnerable not only to problems of corruption but also to political arbitrariness.

As Boston University law professor Randy E. Barnett asserts in more generic terms, whenever public authorities “enjoy a vast range of privileges denied their ordinary citizens, and are subject to few of the economic constraints of private institutions, their citizens are forever vulnerable to governmental tyranny”.

In reality, it is evident that all attempts to find a solution to the country’s complex socio-economic problems by increasing government interference have provoked a clear reduction of public accountability. It is a fact that many abuses of power that have occurred throughout Brazil’s history were masqueraded as guaranteeing top-to-bottom rights to the population. For instance, history professor José Murilo de Carvalho comments:

A characteristic of the military government was its concern with welfare policies. Copying the first [populist dictatorship] of the thirties, the military tried to compensate for the removal of civil and political rights by promoting social rights. Social legislation was extended to the rural population, to domestic workers and to the self-employed. Repression for the opposition, paternalism for the poor, support for and alliance with the business community. To use Barrington Moore’s expression, the military tried to modernise the country from above … by means of political authoritarianism.

Consequently, there has been a considerable increase over the years of a bureaucracy ineffectively conducting Brazil’s public affairs, wasting its own resources, and watching out for private and corporate interests. The latter reap immense, often illegal, benefits from a notoriously corrupt and inefficient government. This has resulted in abnormally ineffective government action in areas such as public security, healthcare, and education, which are areas where the government’s constitutional obligation is to exercise its power much more effectively. Currently, the situation in Brazil benefits only a minority of privileged individuals at the expense of society as a whole. The problem of statism needs therefore to be seriously considered, and remedial action needs to be taken. Who is going to lead the charge?

Brazilian Government Seeks to Remove “Homophobic” Christian Programming from Daytime TV

Will add warning to such programs, pushing them to 11 pm or later

By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman, Latin America Correspondent

SAO PAULO, May 14, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) — The Brazilian government is considering adding warning labels to Christian programming it regards as “homophobic,” according to Folha de Sao Paulo, one of Brazil’s largest-circulation newspapers.

According to Folha, the programs will display a warning label that reads, “not recommended for people under the age of 18.”

The newspaper reports that the policy decision stems from a plan for the “promotion of the citizenship of LGBT (lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transvestites, and transsexuals), which will be launched today in the afternoon by the President’s Secretariat of Human Rights.”

Brazil’s Secretary of Justice reportedly told Folha that, while such programming would be restricted to after 11 pm, “the ideal is that they not be shown at any time.”

If carried out in accordance with Brazilian President Luiz Lula’s definition of “homophobia,” the new restrictions will effectively ban public statements on television that identify homosexual behavior as sinful and/or unhealthy.

“Pornographic sex education classes that praise homosexuality cannot be rated as ‘unsuitable for children and teens,’ because they have the approval from the pro-homosexuality socialist State,” writes pro-family activist Julio Severo, himself in exile from Brazil because of charges of “homophobia.”

“Yet, evangelical and Catholic radio and TV shows now run the risk of being rated as ‘morally harmful,’ ‘homophobic’ and ‘unsuitable for children and teens’ and other attributions, until the social climate is ready for heavier measures, including jail, for those transgressing the state standard for social behaviors.”

The measure is only one example of the Lula administration’s national and international homosexualist policy.

Working closely with Brazilian homosexual leader Luiz Mott, Lula has created a nationwide campaign called “Brazil Without Homophobia” that seeks to normalize and legitimize the behavior of homosexuals. As LifeSiteNews has reported, Mott is an open defender of pedophilia and pederasty.

Lula is also seeking to pass an “anti-homophobia” law that would prohibit any public criticism of homosexuals or homosexual behavior. He recently reiterated his commitment to “criminalize words or acts that are offensive to homosexuality” (see LifeSiteNews coverage at http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/apr/09043008.html).

However, even in the absence of the proposed “homophobia” law the Brazilian government has already fined individuals and groups for opposing homosexuality, including the Evangelical group National Vision for the Christian Conscience (VINACC), which was ordered to cancel its pro-family campaign for quoting the Bible’s strictures against homosexual unions.

Anti-“homophobic” state censorship in Brazil

Lula administration wants to rate as unsuitable for children and teens TV shows with contents contrary to homosexuality

By Julio Severo

Have you watched Pr. Silas Malafaia preaching on the Brazilian television that homosexuality is sin? Or, have you already had the opportunity to watch R. R. Soares or another preacher explaining that the Bible condemns homosexuality?

Do not miss the opportunity to record these shows and, when given a chance, record also Pope Benedict XVI in his statements explicitly condemning homosexual acts, because as far it depends on the Brazilian Lula administration, Brazilian radio and TV shows broadcasting views contrary to homosexuality will be forced to have the rating of “unsuitable for 18 years old and under”.

No, what you are reading is no delirium, nor from this author, neither from your eyes. It is obvious state ideological delirium turning into political nightmare.

Today, May 14, according to prominent Blog Reinaldo Azevedo and liberal Brazilian paper Folha de S. Paulo, the Human Rights Secretary of the Presidency of Brazil will be launching a plan for the promotion of LGBT (lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transvestites and transsexuals) citizenship. This plan includes a measure of the Lula administration to “rate as unsuitable for children and teens TV shows with homophobic contents”.

Silas Malafaia show? Lula administration rating: “Show with homophobic contents. Unsuitable for children and teens”.

R. R. Soares show? Lula administration rating: “Show with homophobic contents. Unsuitable for children and teens”.

Televised statements by the pope? Lula administration rating: “Show with homophobic contents. Unsuitable for children and teens”.

And if Brazilian Christians become cowardly, giving in to this fascist tyranny, many other evangelical and Catholic shows will be rated as “homophobic” and “unsuitable for children and teens”.

What will not be rated as “unsuitable for children and teens” are the pro-homosexuality books and classes in the public schools. In fact, those books and classes will be rated as compulsory for children in every age.

The Brazilian State unconcernedly indoctrinates children on every kind of immorality, homosexual and otherwise. There is no censorship for this immoral indoctrination, because the one imposing the censorship is the State itself.

If a strange man approached your son to teach him the same filth the State teaches in its schools, you would call police. Why does the State, in the same crimes, deserve exemption when it rapes psychologically children?

It does not only rape, but also wants to classify as criminal people trying, through sermons or warnings to parents, to protect children against this rape.

The pornographic sex education classes that praise homosexuality cannot be rated as “unsuitable for children and teens”, because they have the approval from the pro-homosexuality socialist State.

Yet, evangelical and Catholic radio and TV shows now run the risk of being rated as “morally harmful”, “homophobic” and “unsuitable for children and teens” and other attributions, until the social climate is ready for heavier measures, including jail, for those transgressing the state standard for social behaviors.

When it comes to giving perks and privileges to homosexual fascists, the state chorus, abundantly paid for with our tax-money, yells, “Everything”.

For Christians? “Nothing”, “censorship”, “jail”, etc.

A recent study by a group connected to the socialist party of Brazilian president Lula found that 99% of Brazilians do not accept homosexuality. How do these 99% passively accept that the Lula administration is establishing and protecting immoral pro-homosexuality politics and working to criminalize the views of 99% of its population?

Possibly, with so many unbelievable absurdities, the Brazilian people think that this is unreal. While the people see their government deliriously, thinking that it is impossible for an administration to be so devilish, the ideological delirium of the Lula administration — and its measures to implement it — has no limits.

Iran, hatred of Jews and the schizophrenic Lula administration

Brazilian representatives at the UN condemn evangelicals, but do not Hitler’s successor

By Julio Severo

On 20 April 2009, dozens of Western representatives walked out during Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s address at the UN-sponsored Durban II conference against racism in Geneva. Even to Westerners, used to tolerating all kinds of prejudice against Israel, the address of the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, at the conference was too much. As usual, he accused Israel of racism and other attributes.

In addition to denying the Holocaust — with about six-million Jews murdered by Nazism —, Ahmadinejad has already told publicly that he desires the destruction of Israel.

Hitler also had similar intentions. Therefore, nations were correct when they isolated the Nazi dictator, who would have never had the opportunity to address a UN conference. Why Ahmadinejad was given such opportunity is a mystery.

Brazil did not reject Hitler’s successor at UN

Nor would Hitler ever have had the opportunity to visit UN or Brazil. The reason that Hitler’s ideological successor has received such opportunity is hard to understand.

Ahmadinejad should be publicly rejected, isolated and condemned for his hate ideas and speeches against the Jews. Otherwise, UN and the nations — not to mention Brazil — should ask Hitler posthumously to forgive them.

Yet, the withdrawal of the Western representatives from the UN conference was a small, though significant, gesture. Brazilian representatives were also present, but they could not walk out — because they were very busy.

What is behind the state battle against “racism” in Brazil

The Brazilian delegation was headed by Racial Equality Minister Edson Santos, successor of Minister Matilde Ribeiro. Even though the Racial Equality Department was supposedly established to fight racial inequality, Ribeiro, the first black to occupy this exotic federal department, revealed its essence, “I think that it is normal for a black not to want to live with whites”. Later, she was dismissed from her post for abusing the taxpayer money.

For Matilde, blacks have the right not to live with whites, if they so desire, and such a choice brings to blacks no criminal condemnation for discrimination. For her, the racial offense or separation is crime only when committed by whites, but strangely it turns into rights when committed by blacks. If, for example, apartheid in South Africa were a system in which blacks lived separately from whites by the will of blacks themselves, Matilde would see no problem. In fact, she would see such segregation as a right for blacks, because as she said, “I think that it is normal for a black not to want to live with whites”.

Matilde has never been condemned for her racist declarations or her corruption. Doesn’t the Left know how to reward and favor its supporters?

Be that as it may, Matilde’s successor was there at the UN conference, to continue her work.

At the UN, Brazilian pai-de-santo condemns Brazil’s evangelicals

Brazilian representatives, who know how to defend reverse discrimination and homosexuality, complained at the UN “anti-racism” conference about racial and cultural “crimes” supposedly happening in Brazil.

This issue was directly addressed by Ivanir dos Santos, a pai-de-santo from Rio de Janeiro. According to the Michaelis Dictionary, “pai-de-santo is a priest of an Afro-Brazilian voodoo cult”, including macumba and candomble. According to the Brazilian press, this pai-de-santo denounced at UN “a new kind of religious persecution in Brazil, which has aimed at temples of candomble and the followers of African religions, in acts provoked by modern Pentecostals”. Brazil, said he, “is the only country preserving religions brought by slaves and these religions should be defended”.

Actually, not only modern Pentecostal churches, but also all the sound Christian churches seek to help deliver people from witchcraft practices. Yet, increasingly those practices have been placed under state protection, and are now considered “culture”. Even the Catholic Church, which is predominant in Brazil, is not spared the attacks sponsored by the Brazilian State. Recently, a book by the Catholic priest Fr. Jonas Abib warning against witchcraft was banned from the Brazilian state of Bahia and now the priest is being prosecuted. The charge? Racism and prejudice.

The truth behind the Afro-Brazilian “culture”

As a son of a former umbanda leader who accepted the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I see no problem in speaking the truth about the witchcraft derived from Africa. In fact, Brazilians remember, when there was still no veil of racial censorship, the periodical scandals reported by media of pai-de-santos involved in a number of child sacrifices.

In his book Porque Deus Condena o Espiritismo (Why God condemns spiritualism, CPAD: Rio de Janeiro, 1987, pages 66-68), journalist Jefferson Magno Costa tells of a case:

It was noon when he found little Fernando, a 9-year-old boy, walking along the railroad track near the city of São Roque, in the rural area of São Paulo. He took the boy home, asked his lover (with whom he had been living for some weeks), Dalva Braga Medeiros, to give the boy food and change his clothes.

Dalva was slow to comply and he took the clothes of one of the woman’s children and put it on Fernando. After drinking blue rum, he took the boy by his hand and went out, saying that he was going to buy more rum. Upon his return, Dalva saw blood stains on the little Fernando’s clothes. Immediately she understood that the boy had been raped.

Some minutes later, he invited Fernando to go out again, but because the boy refused and showed fear, he decided to call 12-year-old Rogério, Dalva’s son, to keep company with that scared and defenseless child, and to “see how a little pig is killed”.

Leading the two boys up to a hilltop, he drew a trident on the floor. Next, as Rogério reported, he grabbed little Fernando by his neck and jabbed a knife deeply into his chest. But, unsatisfied because the boy was slow to die, pai-de-santo Josué Rodrigues de Souza made a four-inch cut on the neck of the small victim, and began to lick his blood.

After committing this abominable, horrendous and devilish act, the pai-de-santo murderer called Dalva, “because she had never seen a sacrifice”. He showed her the dead child covered in blood. He confessed to her that he’d committed the murder under possession of demon Zé Capoeira, and that he raped the child before killing him, “because Satan does not accept the soul of pure people” (O Globo newspaper, 13/03/1986). “I had to kill a person and give his blood to Satan. He was demanding”, were his words when seized after the crime. (Veja magazine 19/03/1986, p. 111).

Journalist Jefferson Magno notes,

The atrocious crime committed by pai-de-santo Josué is only one of hundreds of cases involving people that, thinking that they are serving God, are serving Satan… Given the numerous cases of that kind reported by press, it is sad that the outrage of the general populace has no memory. Society forgets things easily. Some years ago, pai-de-santo Waldir Souza Lima was taken into custody in Rio, because he killed, in black magic rituals, six children abducted in different locations in the State of Rio. (Page 73)

Witchcraft protected, evangelicals unprotected

The ideology “fighting racism”, which has been used to strengthen and promote the Afro-Brazilian “culture” and persecute Christians who warn about witchcraft, has now hit the UN, where pai-de-santo Ivanir dos Santos accused Brazilian evangelicals opposed to witchcraft practices of “racism”.

While the Lula administration advances furiously the protection of the Afro-Brazilian “culture”, the sold-out Brazilian press points exaggeratedly to the supposed violations to that “culture” and it covers up real crimes committed by it.

Today, it no longer reports of pai-de-santos sacrificing children. And it is unwilling to talk about other related crimes.

On 20 December 2008 Rev. Francisco de Paula Cunha de Miranda, 47, was murdered in Rio Grande do Sul. The minister, who was black (and cannot, even after his death, be accused of “racism”), was on his 33rd day of fasting and prayer when pai-de-santo Júlio César Bonato, under the possession of the “cultural” exu caveira (demon of death), left his temple during a ritual to go to the minister.

Pai-de-santo returned to his ritual with his ritualistic knife bloody.

The minister, who was very weak because of the long fasting, was stabbed to death.

If it had been the crime of a pai-de-santo murdered by an evangelical minister, the Brazilian media and the Lula administration would have harped on it incessantly. And pai-de-santo Ivanir dos Santos would be screaming bloody murder at the “anti-racism” UN conference, using and abusing the “example” of hatred of evangelicals against the Afro-Brazilian “culture”.

Yet such was not the case, so the Lula administration and the liberal media dismiss the option of shouting it to rooftops. In fact, they chose cover-up. So far, the case of the black minister has not reached the Brazilian mainstream media. And if it does someday, they will manage to blame the victim, who is dead and cannot defend himself.

Meanwhile, State and media attack and silence every Christian attempt to warn against the serious threat of witchcraft.

Between friends

Is the behavior of the Brazilian representatives at the UN any wonder then? They were so busy spewing their anti-Christian hate that they had no time to avoid the speech of the Hitler’s successor, and he is delighted that the Lula Brazilians did not isolate him.

Other nations have isolated Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for his attempts to produce nuclear weapons to make good his wish to destroy Israel. But this is no problem for Brazilian socialist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who publicly announced his support for Iran’s nuclear energy program in September 2007. And Lula did more: He invited Ahmadinejad to visit Brazil.

Israel has protested such visit, but Lula — who has since the beginning of his administration in 2003 visited several Muslim countries, including nations around Israel, but not Israel — does not care.

The 6 May 2009 visit to Brazil by Ahmadinejad, the outspoken enemy of the survival of the Jew State, is most significant. It proves, beyond the shadow of a doubt, what Lula and his ideology represent to Brazil.

Will hypocrites inherit the Kingdom of Heaven?

It proves also Lula’s hypocrisy. Lula, whose socialist administration has since 2003 been advancing the homosexual agenda in pioneering resolutions in the UN and OAS, now welcomes in Brazil Ahmadinejad, whose administration allows systematic killings of homosexuals.

This is a perverse political and ideological game, where values and lives are sacrificed for convenience. He who wants to criminalize in Brazil even simple words against homosexuality, attacking free speech head on and directly threatening Christians, sees no problem in his alliance with one who grants no free speech or safety to Christians and homosexuals in Iran.

When it comes to hate, State policies against some social and religious group and their values — do you remember the federal program “Brazil without Homophobia”? —, Lula is not alone: He has Ahmadinejad. Even though the target is different, their hate is similar.

Ahmadinejad is a sponsor of terrorist groups against Israel. In turn, Lula, at the end of a comfortable second term in his presidency supported by opportunistic Christian leaders, is now very unconcernedly sponsoring the presidential candidacy of Dilma Rousseff, who has a history of communistic terrorism.

Ahmadinejad and Lula represent the marriage between socialism and Islamism.

When it comes to hypocrisy, Lula is not alone either.

Many Brazilian Christians and their leaders are also hypocritical, and suicidal: out of strictly economical interests, they join forces with Lula, who is establishing in Brazil a schizophrenic secular State that is essentially an anti-Christian socialist dictatorship.

In turn, Lula makes schizophrenic alliances with those leaders, with homosexual activists (who want to destroy traditional marriage and Christian values), with Ahmadinejad (who hates homosexuals, Jews and Christian values), with witches (whoops! I mean priests of the Afro-Brazilian “culture”, who also hate Christian values), etc.

So how will many Christian leaders in Brazil have the moral courage to condemn the wicked policies and alliances of Lula when their relationship with him is marked by the same insincerity and opportunism? They use Lula — and he uses them.

After all, Lula wants brazenly to establish a National Day Against Hypocrisy, not for himself and his Christian allies, but for those opposing his immoral agenda.

Will cowards inherit the Kingdom of Heaven?

History suggests that while Rome was in flames, Emperor Nero played his harp. Brazil is different: while Christians play their harps, Lula plays with Ahmadinejad and incinerates their freedom by imposing state protection for the Afro-Brazilian “culture”.

Yet it seems that many of them do not understand those dangers and do not care about the threats against Israel or the threats against themselves.

They did not deny the schizophrenic Brazilian Nero their votes and public support and now refuse to confront their president in his immoral anti-Christian agenda. While Brazil is in flames under that agenda, they keep playing their harps, expecting their turn to go to Heaven.

Does Heaven reward cowardice?

Last minute news: The visit of the Hitler’s successor was cancelled, not because of some honorable attitude of Lula opposing it, but because of Ahmadinejad’s decision, who postponed it for some time after the Iranian elections. Honorable men publicly condemn evil, and a Brazilian president has the moral obligation to condemn Ahmadinejad publicly and reject his visit. But Lula’s socialist ideology speaks louder than good character and its responsibilities.
