Next week a lot of people of several states of Brazil and of other countries will be going for Fortaleza to participate in a carnival, different from the traditional carnival of February. A carnival anticapitalist, to try to impede that the largest and more dangerous gangs, the worst species of thieves, genocidas and murderers, to know, the cupolas of the brasilian capitalist class, meet in that city.

Because This I Am Going to Fortaleza

Next week a lot of people of several states of Brazil and of other countries will be going for Fortaleza to participate in a carnival, different from the traditional carnival of February. A carnival anticapitalist, to try to impede that the largest and more dangerous gangs, the worst species of thieves, genocidas and murderers, to know, the cupolas of the brasilian capitalist class, meet in that city.

At the same time the last official Cense announces in the four winds that 25 million brasilian children agonize in slow death in every national territory (1), for the torture of the hunger or of the disease, for the thirst or cold, a tiny handful of domestic human beasts, that toghether have an equivalent patrimony to 14,8 billion dollars (2) decide to do a meeting with their pairs of other countries, from 11 to 13 in Fortaleza, in Brazil, under the auspices of the Interamerican Bank of Development and blessings FHC and Tasso Jereissat, door mats of the national and international capital.

That mob of capitalist thieves, under the mantle and protection of the state, when they don't have fun at parties, kept by a glass dome of power, they are devoted to play the game of the stocks exchange, a macabre dispute where the winner is that that more steals, suppresses freedom and submits souls under his/her control.

There is a lot of thing circulating thereabout on each one of those gangs of scoundrels as Joseph and Moise Safra (Banco Safra, Brazil), fascinoras as Aloysio of Andrade Faria (Banco Real, Brazil), criminals like Júlio Bozano (former-owner of the Banco Bozano Simonsen, Brazil) torturing like Abilio Diniz (Grupo Pao de Acucar, Brazil), impostors as Roberto Marinho (Org. Globe, Brazil), thief like Lily Safra (lady of the Ponto Frio, Brazil) and of calculating murderers like Antonio Ermirio of Moraes ( Grupo Votorantim, Brazil). it is on that last one that I will trust, for being closer.

Many years ago, the gang of this criminal's senile, installed one of their lot of factories, usurped of the workers' perspiration, in Rio Tietê's ebb tide in the periferical in East of Sao Paulo City, stolen earth of the original people of the village Bakirivú (3). the tragedy and the horror of that factory of deaths is recorded in the minds off the oldest residents of Sao Miguel Paulista. Osvaldo Holanda, lawyer and president of the Esperanto Brazilian League, and partner founder of Zamenhoff Esperanto Clube, located well beside Nitro Química, gives his excited testimony mentioning for the name one by one of their friends that worked in that factory and that tragicamente left, it is "true, all of them died from cancer". Dona Clarice Guedes, one of a lot of migrants expels from the Northeast Brazil to the South looking for work and scool for theres childrens in 1954, remembering the former-workers of that factory, she also gives the same words, "all died with cancer."

It is not treated here of an academic theory or a low accusation formulated by some assumed syndical leader, I am referring to the popular testimony. Each memory of a former-worker of Nitro Química already dead is a relative's memory or friend that died from cancer.

That is just an aspect that illustrate the means for the which human beasts like Antonio Ermirio of Morais, use to steal and to accumulate their wealth. They multiply their billion of dollars at the cost of the suppression of freedom, destruction of nature, health and workers' lives. No thin to times in sacrifice human beings in theirs altars of wealth and power.

ENOUGH!

Is the time to cry a ENOUGH to criminals like that. Because this many are travelling to Fortaleza. A lot of voices, several tones, but only one scream: ENOUGH to the capitalists! We didn't tolerate more to stay quiet and immobile. We rejected their practices of to collect corpses and to torture souls on behalf of the money and of the power, like their grandparents make whith the slaves of the past.

We are not afraid of none of you capitalists, dwarfs' race that arise in hills of paper coin to seem big. You don't start from worms when paying journalists and treacherous syndicalists of the working class to speak well of you, because nobody like you knows that all capitalists sharks are hated by the workers.

We are not afraid of you, capitalists, that has the State violence as allied faithful, and the death threat to the workers as first argument of ignorance that they live. We repeated once again in high and good sound so that the whole world can hear, so that they free our 25.000.000 of children that you kidnapped for the hunger (1). Return the 14.8 billion dollars (2) that stole from the workers, so that each cent of that whole wealth go back their legitimate owners, the hard-working people, mainly that 1/3 of the population that starves in the outskirts of the cities and for the interior of Brazil (1).

We didn't accept more dead provoked by the greed that you inherited of their parents, murderers of most of the original people of Brazil, pratice torturers against the Africans to work as slaves in the lands usurped by their grandparents.

We want that that long robbery cycle, tortures and death has an end. We demanded that you, capitalists, stop imposing the torments that generation after generation you are imposing in the Brazilian people.

We pled the children of the working class that are for an or other reason to put inside of the repression organs or inside the Brazilian Army in Fortaleza, that point his fury, their bombs and the mortal power of their weapons, no against their siblings and friends, but against the real enemy, the capitalists aided by the State and for the stolen money of the workers.

BID, capitalists, leave us alone!
Stop killing our hunger children!
Return what usurped us!
We don't want them here!
Leave Fortaleza!

(3) "formed by native Guaianazes about 1560, the area was soon transformed by the Jesuits in a village model, in agreement with the proposals contained in Government's Rules. In 1580, the Jesuits obtained a sesmaria to the village of more or less 270 squared kilometers, transforming the area in an official reservation of Christianized Indians. Their intentions were not only to separate them converted and to demarcate the necessary lands to the agriculture - fundamental for the teaching civilizatório - as well as to obtain the legal warranty of the Crown so that the concession protected the Indians of the slavery and their lands of the invasion for settlers of the town of Sao Paulo, that quickly expanded. Intentions didn't only have enough: the Indians ended up losing as much his earth as his freedom" Property and Usurpation in Brazil, James Holston, Brazilian Magazine of Social sciences 21, year 8, 1993. In English: "Comparative Studies In Society and History" volume 33, number 4, october 1991, Cambridge University Press. The Federal Government doesn't just recognize the area as an old indigenous aldeamento as well as it demands it for itself. "As the Indians ‘disappeared' [our quotation marks] of the map of that area in the middle of last century, the civil servants to service of the Central Plateau argue that the ownership of the earth, according to the Law 1.114/1860, returned to the Union from that time" (José Antonio Leite, Magazine Already, n.103, October 25, 1998). "THE extensive area... it would have constituted São Miguel's Indigenous Aldeamento and Guarulhos, in the idos of 1850... according to the Service of Patrimony of the Union (SPU), it belongs to the federal government for force of the law 9760 of 1946" (Diario Popular, October 28, 1998). "Supreme Court decided that lands are of União"(O Estado de Sao Paulo, October 27, 1998) "Action against Union questions ownership of indigenous area" (O Estado de Sao Paulo, October 2, 1998). "People fight for Union not to take Sao Miguel Paulista from São Paulo and Guarulhos, identified areas for the Government as belonging the extinct indigenous aldeamento." (Diario Popular, September 17, 1998).
