The cheating of the Social Security Reform in Brazil

The cheating of the Social Security Reform in Brazil

Cacildo Marques - Sao Paulo

     There is a massive and almost complete lack of information within the population about the current laws of Public Pensions in Brazil, which allows permanent manipulation by rulers and the press.

     First of all, there is already retirement by age: 65 for men and 60 for women. In the case of rural workers, one decreases five years in each genre.

     There is also retirement for contribution time: 35 years of contribution, for those over 53 years old, if male, and 30 years, for 48 years old, at least, if a woman.

     The above clarifications, followed by more details, are in the FAQs of the Caixa Economica Federal (CEF) website.

     The most recent reform, adopted in 2015, adds a requirement to prevent early retirements, which is the rule 85-95, which since January 2019 became 86-96, as planned. The meaning of this is that someone only has the right to apply for retirement if, being a man, when adding up the contribution years to the years of age gets a total of at least 96. If the person is a woman, should reach a total of 86.

     The difference of five years between men and women did not come, as it was justified many years later, because of the double female journey, in the employment and at home. It was an invention of Colonel Jarbas Passarinho, who, as a parliamentarian, by voting in the 1980s for reform that created Special Retirement of Teachers, at 25 years of contribution, said he did not agree with such low time for men, and made the project determining 25 years for women and 30 years for men. Since then, the discriminatory idea, aiming protection and discrimination of women was extended to all subsequent social security laws. Today, this special retirement at the 25 years of contribution was swallowed by the minimum age of 60 years for male teachers and 55 years for female teachers, according to the reform that entered into force at the end of 2003.

     The most significant change in this 2003 reform was the establishment of the ceiling for benefit receiving. In current values, the ceiling is at BRL 5,800 per month (US $ 1,555 in February 2019). For a system that until 2003 paid pensions of judges with values ​​of up to BRL 35,000 monthly ($ 9,383), this ceiling now solves the great problem of expenditures with a range of public servants regarded as privileged. It is necessary to remember that the immense mass of retirees receives minimum salary, that currently is of BRL 954 monthly (US $ 256).

     What would cause the pension fund to maintain financial health? Let us see some necessary steps.

First, what is collected from the employee and employer's share, in equal proportion, is not a tax, but a "contribution". Not being a tax, it should not be mixed with national treasury money, but keep in own cash, managed by a federal autarky.

     Second, the value of the employer's quota works as indirect wages, which could never be postponed or denied, which means that the government must never waive (dismiss) any employer to deposit this amount.

     Third, informal jobs, which almost never collect the contribution, should be hard pressed to become formal jobs, and, even when informal, monthly contributions should not be neglected. Large numbers of informal employment or unemployment should not be allowed, so as not to provoke a vacuum in the pension fund.

     Fourth, it is okay to pass money from the social security fund to the national treasury, but this should only be done as loan, to be paid according to the Central Bank's basic interest rate, at least.

     Fifth, any beneficiary whose value received does not derive from his social security contributions, according to the minimum requirements, must have his amounts paid for another type of cash, being part of another type of government account other than the social security authority account. This should be the case with the BCC (Benefit of Continuing Care for the elderly), pensions for family members, etc.

     Sixth, employers with old debts, discounting the failed companies, should be called upon to sign a plan of monthly pensions payment, in order to pay off their debt over a number of years.

     Seventh, companies that do not collect the employer's social security quota must lose the bank credit, until the fulfillment of the obligations.

     Eighth, the employee who requires retirement must "retire" in fact, as soon as the service of his demand is published, being absolutely prohibited from continuing to work in the same company and in the same place, even if disguised as a legal entity.

     Ninth, there must be an annual audit, or at least a biannual one, in December, of all the assets of the social security authority.

     Tenth, there must be a short time for the state and municipal systems to adapt to their constitutions and organic laws the existing laws of federal funds.

     All ten of the above measures are designed to enforce current law, preventing drill holes from leaking social security. There is, therefore, no need for constitutional reform to detract more resources from employers or public servants.

     Why then do they want so much a new reform? Because the sanitation measures listed above are not applied. Contributions are mixed with taxes and social security benefits payments are made with national treasury funds, in clear disregard for the rite of separation of accounts. And as formal employment is gradually disappearing, with acceleration guaranteed by the new labor laws, the contributions of employees and employers, tend to be reduced to an almost negligible amount in relation to the total payments that pensions must make on a monthly basis, both to direct payers of its cash and to beneficiaries with no relation to contributions based on the salary.

     As these problems are not corrected, because one does not intend to do so, one can make a new constitutional reform every four years, with the objective of deceiving foreign investors, that the collapse will continue to increase.

     The dogma bragged by the government that without the social security reform the country returns to recession is talk without nexus, fruit of futurology of reading coffee grounds. None of the reform topics submitted to the National Congress in 2019 is positive for the country. Subtract more resources from wage earners will only reduce national income, what is, now yes, a faster way to return to recession.

Vichy: The Ravenna of the Third Reich

Vichy: The Ravenna of the Third Reich

Cacildo Marques – Sao Paulo

    The Ravenna Effect is, almost certainly, the most decisive causal relation of Social Psychology to guide the paths of history. It is configured by the shock of years or decades caused by the transfer of the chief of State from his traditional capital to a city without historical secular status of capital, with the ensuing disruption of the services and symbols of stability already built for the conduction of the State, with highlight for the currency. Through the Versailles Effect (Prof. Malcolm H. Wiener), the problem spreads over the countries of the area of influence. The localization of the government does not matter (Bonn Effect), provided that the residence of the chief of State functions effectively in the secular capital (for Germany, it is Berlin).

    Fall. The name Ravenna Effect comes from the set of events that in the fifth century, from the year 402 to the year 476, led to the fall of the Roman Empire. In the year 402, Emperor Honorius transferred the court to Ravenna, leaving the city of Rome to its fate. Since then, frequent wars, uprisings, invasions by other peoples, famine, shortages, epidemics, and many other problems devastated the Italian Peninsula in such a way that when Odoacer, leading his barbarian soldiers, entered Rome, to set up his imperial court, he was received with relief and feast in the streets, by a population that then had great contempt for its distant emperor, Romulus Augustulus.

    Thirteen centuries later, the same mechanism that left the Old Age behind and ushered in the Medieval Age acted to kick-start the Contemporary Age, with the key episode of the French Revolution, which was the Fall of the Bastille on July 14, 1789.

    Versailles. Who played the part of the Ravenna of France at that time was the city of Versailles, where the chief of State Louis XVI resided. After three months, in the heat of the agitation of a rumored protest against the rise of prices, amid rumors that the aristocracy planned deliberately to kill the poor with hunger, there was the Women's March, or October March, in which the Parisian ladies, united with revolutionaries who looted the official weapons depot of Paris, went to Versailles on the evening of October 5 and, after many battles in which a protester was killed and, in response, two guards of the palace had their heads cut off and propped up in stakes, in the afternoon of the October 6 they demanded that Louis XVI was with the protesters to Paris, to settle in the old Tuileries Palace.

    The Ravenna Effect was over, but less than two years later, Louis XVI and his wife Marie-Antoinette fled towards Varennes, when they were intercepted. In a few more months they were sentenced to death in the guillotine.

    Washington. A decade later it began the saga of the Ravenna of the United States, that was its capital Washington. Unlike Ravenna and Versailles, Washington was consolidated, because the citizens of the country had no way of knowing the origin of their misfortunes. Washington was built in 1800 and twelve years later it occurred the Great Anglo-American War, in which English soldiers, attempting to retake the colony, set the city aflame. The Americans rebuilt Washington with a greater commitment than the one shown in 1800, remaking the Capitol, the White House and many other buildings with better designs and in a more reinforced way. In the sixth decade it came the War of Secession, which inside the country is called the American Civil War. It was the greatest civil war in the New World. In the final phase, President Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery and was later murdered, but no one distrusted the Ravenna Effect. And Washington continued its history toward consolidation as a historic capital, which happened with the last capital-newist vicissitude of the country, which was the Great Depression in 1929.

    Tokyo. The time elapsed between the exchange of Rome by Ravenna and the moment of the fall of the empire was 74 years. From the transfer of Louis XIV to Versailles, in 1682, until the withdrawal there of his grandson Louis XVI 107 years passed. The French suffered the cost of the new "capital" for 11 decades. The United States suffered this for 13 decades, lessened by the clever adoption of the gold standard. Japan, which had its capital transferred to Tokyo in 1869, had, 13 decades later, the highest real estate prices in the world, which have declined since then, that is, since the beginning of the 21st century. The problems experienced by Japan in this interval are no secret to anyone, but it is easy to remember, for example, the Sino-Japanese war of 1894 and the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, which received Washington's response nearly four years later with the spill of two atomic bombs.

    Bad. Before this tragic outcome, which was part of the World War II, the world went through World War I, triggered by the attempt of the activist Gavrilo Prinkip against Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, then part of the Autro-Hungarian Empire, which went through a serious problem of dearness. The Ravenna of Emperor Franz Joseph I is not as gaudy as Versailles was in the eighteenth century. It is because he moved in order to stay overnight with his mistress in the city of Bad Itschl, leaving the official capital, Vienna, and Empress Sissi in second plan. Bad Itschl was the most discreet Ravenna in history.

    Weimar. As for the city of Weimar, it did not overthrow an empire, since it was the center of a Republic, which proved to be frustrated, but the superinflation experienced there, leading Germany to an unprecedented impoverishment in the phenomenon called the Weimar Effect (Professor Philip David Cagan), made the Germans search for a mountebank who offered himself as a savior of the homeland, Adolf Hitler, after the problem was already resolved by a descendant of Martin Luther, President Paul von Hindenburg, already installed in the traditional capital, Berlin. The President noted that the voters were being confused, not realizing that Germany was already rerouted, and tried in every way to prevent the rise of the Austrian man, who had been arrested in 1923 for attempted coup. Hindenburg did not succeed because he was taking a solitary fight. On here, a human fault is formed that is explained by the phenomenon of hysteresis: The impulse of the effect ceases, but the effect continues for some more time. In this case of Social Psychology, what occurs is a sensation of hysteresis, not hysteresis itself. The solution is obtained, but popular perception is that everything remains the same. An example of this, there in the same region, was the destruction of Budapest, ordered by Hitler. He died in 1945, but his soldiers proceeded to the destruction of the Hungarian capital in 1946. This is a pure sensation of hysteresis. For those insiders, the Nazism was still in force.

    Hitler, therefore, grew politically along the road opened by Hindenburg. When he died in 1934, Hitler, there was one year as Prime Minister (Chancellor), took his place, through the plebiscite of self-referral, in which he obtained 88% support from the electorate.

    Free from the moorings of the Ravenna Effect represented by Weimar, Germany was growing in the stern. Emma Goldman, a Jewish writer, promoted marches in New York charging the United States government to take action against Hitler, who was chasing Jews. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt despised this demand, because the economic growth of Germany favored much the American companies, among them IBM, or "Big Blue". Hitler feared only one event, as he himself told the advisors at his country house, on the scene shown in the documentary "Swastika": The possible election of Winston Churchill as premier of England.

    Vichy. And what was the Hitler's Ravenna? Now, in obtaining the collaboration of Marshal Philippe Pétain, who agreed to govern France as a province of the Third Reich, Hitler saw no problem in setting up the French government in Vichy. Joan of Arc considered in 1429 that France without Paris did not be France. Pétain ignored it. He did not consider that in the Hundred Years War, after Joan of Arc obtained the coronation of the dauphin as king Charles VII, she demanded him to finance the resumption of Paris, without his giving in to the appeal. She has undertaken on her own day, and was captured in the immediate vicinity of the city. It must be understood that France was in shambles for having its chief of State far from the historical capital. And even with the later retake of the city, the Hundred Years' War left Western Europe broken and unguarded, opening the doors to the materialization of the old dream of the Turks of taking Constantinople, which happened to take place in 1453. There the Medieval Era was closed, and the Modern Age was beginning.

    Pétain and the Nazis saw it as a salutary move to let rebellious Parisians relegated to the basement of history. The new era was with the Vichy Regime, from 1940.

    It was the Ravenna Effect (or Versailles-Weimar Effect) generated from Vichy that showed the French that Nazism - demagogic, uncultivated, racist and authoritarian regime - was a disgrace, something that only 12% of the Germans seemed to agree, by the voting in the plebiscite of the self-referral.

    Resistance grew from France. When the United States, Britain, and the French Resistance decided to disembark to the D-Day on June 6, 1944, they did this in Normandy, French territory, because the initial priority was to free France, a result obtained in the first month of battle. The easiest part for allied troops was to take Paris, because the Parisians, animated by the entry of allies into French territory, had already done the service inside the city, expelling the Nazis.

    Here we have a new aspect of the Ravenna Effect. In addition to this new characteristic, we can call the phenomenon as the Vichy Effect: What the new capital without secular status has to unmask and destroy bad governments that deceive the population when sustaining itself in the demagogy using the developmentalism as a trump. Far from being embarrassed to have harbored the collaborationist government of Pétain, Vichy must be proud to have been the spearhead of the revolt that resulted in the destruction of the Nazi horror.

    History. If we consider, like Popper, that the human story they say to be relevant is the history of tragedies, not that of the great discoveries, artistic creations and great philosophical conceptions, then every truly important episode has the Ravena Effect as its background, even before the fate of the city of Aten, of the father of Tutankhamen, passing through Alexandria, which shortened abruptly, by the early death of the titular, the reign of Alexander, until the recent disaster of the administrative city of Robert Mugabe, Borrowdale Brooks, on the outskirts of Harare, which pushed Zimbabwe to the highest hyperinflation in history in 2008. Earlier, the record was exactly with the Hungarians of 1946, that, having its capital destroyed by the late Nazis, installed the residence of their president in the Lake Balaton.

    Nowadays, following Brazil, Myanmar and Nigeria, the focus of the Ravenna Effect is with Tunisia, whose presidential residence is outside the traditional capital.

The conceptual errors of historical materialism

The conceptual errors of historical materialism

Cacildo Marques – Sao Paulo

    With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the saga of historical materialism, begun in 1848, fulfilled its cycle. People struggling for the improvement of democracy and the guarantee of social rights are now turning to more current and more advanced theories, in the midst of some late "dreamers" imagining the implantation of "communism" and, on the opposite side, "crazies" organizing an anachronistic hunt for "communists".

    There are seven major theoretical misconceptions of historical materialism since the nineteenth century.

    1) Antimalthusian. Being anti-Malthusian, believing in the infinity of natural resources.

    2) Manichean. Classifying the set of opponents of the cause as "the reaction" (twisted Newton).

    3) Dictatorial. Refusing to revise the proposal of "dictatorship", even after the Parliamentary Republic of 1871.

    4) Refractory. Rejecting Psychology, even after Wilhelm Wundt's laboratory in 1879.

    5) Romantic. In an unconscious return to natural selection, law of the strongest, embracing, with the romantics, the fight against healthy competition.

    6) Confused. Interpreting the millenarian Asian cooperativism as "primitive communism", previous to Christianity.

    7) Scornful. Treating with disdain the previous ("utopian") attempts to improve society.

    It should be noted that both the "communist" and the "anticommunist" dreamers of the twenty-first century bear the same seven defects: They are anti-Malthusian, Manichaean, dictatorial, refractory, romantic, confused, and scornful.

    The vitrine of the so-called "proletarian" dictatorships of the twentieth century, which was the zeal for universal "free" official teaching, did not come from the proposition of historical materialism, but from the incorporation of the education politics from Pombal (1772) and Condorcet (1792).

    The very correctness of the philosophy of historical materialism has been diluted in the inevitable flaws of the model. These include: (a) the idea that politics should not be a game, (b) the abstraction of the religious question, according to the plan of separation of religion and State of the French Revolution, (c) Economy in the organization of society, although not as primeval social fact, (d) the transformation of all wage earners into political agents and (e) the propagation of the conception that the emancipation of wage earners is a world cause.

    All citizens who are struggling for the consolidation of effective democracy, which should not be understood as the regime in which the poor are called to the polls to choose periodically the foremen, but the system that, by periodic and popular choice of representatives, turns its energies towards guaranteeing the continuous improvement of people's living conditions in the areas of Freedom, Environmentalism, Education, Health, Employment, Transport, Security, Supply and Opportunities, all these citizens should study the foundations and trajectory of the life cycle of historical materialism, in order to equip the democratic regime with the necessary fire doors that will prevent new tragic experiences, either for oligarchic purposes or for the so-called magic keys of quick resolution of problems of ordinary citizens.

    No miracle proposal should merit respect if it seeks to undermine the three pillars of democracy, which are (a) the universal periodic vote, (b) the rule of law and (c) the non-longevity of the ruler's term.

Ollavismo: La hegemonía de la incultura

Ollavismo: La hegemonía de la incultura

Cacildo Marques - Sao Paulo

   Los profesores de las Américas han sufrido gran desprecio por parte de gobiernos y clases medias desde hace muchas décadas. Llegó ahora el turno de los artistas e los reporteros unirse a ellos, como víctimas de ataques. Es el resultado del ollavismo.

   Ollavus Querci "no tuvo estudio", como dicen las personas que no recibieron instrucción. Esto no fue obstáculo para que se hiciera pasar por "filósofo", dedicándose a impartir cursos de Filosofía para incautos, teniendo como objetivo central la negación de la ciencia. Esta autoridad para dar cursos él recibió no de alguna facultad, sino del renombre recabado con la venta de libros que él escribió.

   Él no añadió nada útil en sus escritos.

   Se intenta hacer pasar por escéptico, siendo sólo refractario. La actitud escéptica es el comportamiento del científico. Los que dudan de los resultados de la ciencia sin presentar ningún método confiable de refutación son sólo refractarios, nunca escépticos.

   ¿Es necesario leer sus libros para saber que no hay sustancia allí? No, basta con leer uno u otro párrafo clave. Necesitamos leer varios libros de Platón para descubrir alguna asertiva inconsistente. Lo mismo se puede decir de Descartes, Russell o Wittgenstein. De un pseudofilósofo, en la primera media página ya identificaremos varias tonterías. A menos que la persona que lee sea un profesional de Psicología o Psiquiatría dado a hacer análisis de demencias, no hay motivo para que se proceda a la lectura de un libro entero de un individuo de esos.

   Las editoras necesitan vender libros, aún más en estos tiempos de cierres acelerados de librerías. El estándar exigido por ellas dentro de los textos presentados son un mínimo de corrección gramatical. Este no es un gran problema, una vez que los procesadores de texto ya se encargan de corregir el artículo más denunciador del trabajo de un mal escritor, que es la ortografía. Los programas se arriesgan a corregir también los errores más evidentes de concordancia, sea verbal, sea nominal. ¡Listo! ¡El "filósofo" de baja instrucción está redimido!

   Los problemas de sintaxis, semántica, puntuación y conjugación son fácilmente dominados por el mal escritor, por puro mimetismo. Si él quiere decir una cosa y, por incongruencia de escritura, dice otra, eso no comprometerá el raciocinio, pues lo que no tiene remedio, como reza el dicho popular, "remediado está". Si el raciocinio presentado en el texto es insano, errores de sintaxis o semántica serán absorbidos, ya que no hay un sentido legítimo en la escritura. Incluso los errores comunes de aplicación de reglaje pronominal entran en esa categoría. Cada lector entienda lo que quiera.

   De cualquier modo, el psiquiatra que se dé al trabajo de estudiar el caso tendrá que leer y releer con atención cada párrafo, pues la construcción del texto obedece a la intención de despistar, de desviar al lector de los conocimientos que él ya detenga. Se trata de construir una nueva cultura, la cultura de la incultura.

   Si la ciencia estadística permite mostrar que el tabaquismo es responsable de graves enfermedades, él "argumenta" desmereciendo la estadística. La opinión de él, según la cual el tabaco no hace ningún mal, está por encima de cualquier estadística que los científicos puedan utilizar. Eso es lo que él piensa y propaga.

   Todos los que no aceptan sus argumentos son puestos en las categorías de "burros", "imbéciles" y "izquierdistas". No se piense que la divergencia se limita a Aristóteles, Kant o Nietzsche. Los que creyeron en la Mecánica de Newton siempre estuvieron engañados, porque, según él, ella se basa en principios contradictorios y absurdos.

   En la condición de escritor lucrativo, él publicó en el Jornal do Brasil de 15 de junio de 2006 un texto titulado "En los orígenes de la estupidez occidental". Lo que está en esos orígenes, dice, es un error que Newton cometió en la primera de sus tres leyes de la Dinámica, la Ley de la Inercia.

   La tontería comienza en el primer párrafo, cuando acusa a Newton de ser autor de una ley equivocada que nunca fue (él no lo sabe) de autoría de Newton. Nosotros decimos "las tres leyes de Newton" para facilitar la referencia, porque Newton de hecho usó tres principios sobre los que basó la Dinámica, adoptando como el primero de ellos el Principio de la Inercia, de Galileo Galilei.

   Sí, él, por ignorancia, acusa a Newton de un "crimen" que fue cometido por Galileo. Razón? No tuvo clases de Física (si por casualidad tuvo, y prestó atención, o no entendió nada o el profesor fue incompetente).

   El profesor de la Enseñanza Media, de hecho, no tiene obligación de contar que la primera Ley de Newton es de Galileo. Pero el primer párrafo del artículo de Ollavus Querci no revela sólo esa ignorancia. Allí, en esas tres líneas, comete otra estulticia muchísimo más grave que la de acusar a Newton por una "falla" de Galileo. ¿Es posible eso? ¿Es posible en tres líneas cometer un error histórico de autoría y aún escribir una tontería más flagrante?

   Sí. Como él no entendió nada de lo que leyó sobre las tres leyes de la dinámica, él "interpretó" la primera ley, la Ley de la Inercia, como siendo compuesta por dos principios, el principio de la inercia y el principio "del movimiento eterno". ¿Qué locura es esa de "movimiento eterno"? Es el modo como él crea "conceptos", con el objetivo de engañar al lector desavisado. No pudo entender que la Ley de la inercia es el principio mismo de la inercia. El tal del "movimiento eterno" es sólo uno de los dos aspectos en que la inercia se presenta. Se trata de una de las formas en que se presenta la "relatividad de Galileo". El "movimiento eterno" es lo que los profesores y los libros de texto llaman "velocidad constante". En la visión de Newton, un cuerpo material está en reposo o en constante movimiento (que interpretamos como "a velocidad constante"). Si el lector está acoplado al cuerpo, como, por ejemplo, dentro de un coche a velocidad constante, sin mirar hacia fuera, el lector mira al suelo del coche y ve que está en reposo. Si mira ahora a los árboles a los márgenes del camino, verá que el suelo del coche está a velocidad constante. Para Galileo, estar a velocidad constante o estar en reposo es cosa que depende sólo del referencial, es decir, del punto de referencia. De un modo o de otro, mirando al suelo o mirando a los árboles, el pasajero en el carro está en un sistema que obedece al Principio de la Inercia. Si el conductor acelera el coche, vamos a la segunda Ley de Newton, que garantiza que la fuerza aplicada se iguala al producto de la masa por la aceleración del cuerpo, incluyendo aquí resistencia del aire, fricción y cualquier otro elemento de interferencia. La tercera ley, como se sabe, es el Principio de Acción y Reacción.

   Él, sin embargo, ve la primera Ley de Newton como una "absurdidad ostensiva", pues, si estiramos "indefinidamente los límites del tiempo", no habrá diferencia "entre el cambio y la permanencia". Con ello él concluye que el "movimiento eterno es concepto autocontraditorio".

  La primera Ley de Newton habla sólo de un Principio, el de la inercia, y no de dos, que según Ollavus Querci son la inercia y el "movimiento eterno". Él "interpreta" que estos dos principios que componen la primera Ley son contradictorios entre sí, por lo que "descubre que la primera ley está equivocada. Y, en párrafos más abajo, se admira que en tres siglos los estudiosos no hayan percibido la "contradicción", que él en realidad lo vio. Y dice que Leibniz y Einstein hablaban respetuosamente de Newton, pero que tiene "la impresión" que por dentro se reían del viejo, es decir, se burlaban de Newton. Si nadie antes había percibido las fallas, ¿por qué se burlar del inglés? El texto no explica, porque el objetivo es engañar a las víctimas del mal sistema educativo. Pero no sólo Leibniz, el mayor de los socios científicos de Newton, y Einstein, su continuador, se burlaban del anciano. Según Ollavus Querci, también Goethe lo hacía. Lo que él está confesando es que tiene "la impresión" que Goethe era un escritor de la misma cepa que él, Ollavus Querci, aunque no tuvo el coraje de explicitar su desprecio por las Leyes de Newton.

   Argumentos y más argumentos, "pruebas" y más "pruebas" contra el trabajo de los científicos, éste es el universo comercial de Ollavus Querci. Y no se trata de deshonestidad, pero de trastorno psíquico. Él sería deshonesto si hubiera conocido, y asimilado, el teorema de Alfred Tarski, según el cual todo discurso en lenguaje no algebraica encierra contradicción. Intentar probar fallas en los resultados de Galileo y Newton sin usar las ecuaciones, pero sólo lanzando mano de palabrería persuasiva, sólo no es algo totalmente desproporcionado porque rinde mucho dinero, succionado de la buena fe de las personas poco instruidas.

   Cuestionando la ciencia de modo anticientífico, Ollavus Querci crea una inmensa corriente de refractarios dispuestos a combatir el trabajo de profesores, artistas y reporteros. Ellos dicen que lo que la ciencia dice no tiene valor, y usan como medio de divulgación los más sofisticados productos de la ciencia, que son las computadoras, la Internet, los satélites de comunicación, la Mecánica Cuántica y así sucesivamente. A través de estos medios se burlan de los científicos que advierten sobre el calentamiento global, que alertan sobre los resultados desastrosos de la deforestación, que defienden la enseñanza pública y la investigación, que desarrollan y aplican vacunas, que trabajan bajo los parámetros de la Teoría de la Evolución, que hacen avanzar la Macroeconomía, que se dedican a profundizar la Psicología.

   Desde que los teléfonos inteligentes llegaron a manos de la gran masa, entre 2008 y 2015, nuevos políticos y nuevos "filósofos" descubrieron un gran caudal de autopromoción, que es esa táctica de comunicarse directamente a través de vídeos con el público en general. Este público, el video-espectador, pasó a juzgar que ya no necesita orientación de líderes preparados y de intelectuales graduados, como ocurría desde los tiempos de Hammurabi. Sin casi ninguna lectura, la masa "ve" los vídeos de sus nuevos ídolos, con adoctrinamiento belicoso contra los letrados tradicionales, y ejerce su poder de elección a partir de esos accesos. Es el nuevo mundo de la incultura, ambiente paradisíaco para Ollavus Querci y todos los pseudofilósofos de la actualidad. Este nuevo modus vivendi ya ha elegido gobiernos en varios países, siempre llevando la bandera del rechazo a la intelectualidad académica, lo que incluye rechazar a (a) la Inmigración, (b) la ONU, (c) el Acuerdo del Clima, (d) la Socialdemocracia y (e) la Globalización. La universidad, el periódico, la televisión, la biblioteca y el teatro todavía no saben cómo situarse en esa realidad.

   Ollavus Querci cambiaría totalmente su línea programática de actuación si tuviera estructura instruccional mínima para entender el papel de Isaac Newton en la modernidad tecnológica que él y sus seguidores usan como si fuera un regalo de algún mago. Él no tiene como entender que los satélites de comunicación están ahí transmitiendo su arsenal de locuras porque fueron construidos y lanzados según las ecuaciones de Newton para las leyes de la Gravitación. Sí, Newton, el viejo que él cree que servía de chacota a Leibniz, Goethe y Einstein, no sólo estudió la Gravitación, pero a partir de ella creó las ecuaciones para los satélites artificiales. No sabe que otros grandes científicos de la historia, de Al-Khwarizmi y Al-Hazen a Giuseppe Peano, Grace Murray Hoper, Richard Feynman y Andrew Wiles, están detrás de las ecuaciones y funciones que permiten que los datos y las imágenes alcancen a la pantalla de la computadora portátil que utiliza. Sin esas ecuaciones de Newton, los satélites caerían sobre la cabeza de Ollavus Querci y sobre su colección de rifles, allá en su sitio de Richmond, la efímera capital de los Confederados, que desencadenaron la Guerra de Secesión por no aceptar la entonces inminente liberación de los esclavos.

The 5 neo-Nazi bombs on the networks

The 5 neo-Nazi bombs on the networks

Cacildo Marques - Sao Paulo

   The enemy of social networking companies is not the lie nor the scandal with the denunciation of storing customer data. The enemy is the establishing of the strategy of using networks as a platform for neo-Nazi indoctrination, to win elections and command large areas and populations. In the twentieth century email services had already made the decision to censor content of explicit Nazi campaign and outreach of paederoticism (commonly called "pedophilia"). In the political field, the neo-Nazis broke up the siege by reneging on the swastika and disguising their admiration for Mussolini and Hitler. It is not a central part of the effort to build "clubs" for flatearthist, climate refractories or victims of conspiratorial theories, if not as a way of joining ignorant or crazy persons. Also the question of sexual morality is used only as a backdrop, as all hypocrites have done since antiquity. If it was difficult to make a decision to censor these two dangers, swastika and pedophilia, the more difficult it is to veto the five foci of neo-Nazi action, but Internet portals will work against democracy, and against freedom, if they do not proceed to this censorship, because the work of the neo-Nazis today is to dominate the social networks, mainly through videos, to convince those who read little, with the five types of bombs below.

     1) Militarism. Use of military and belicist symbols in political parties, with apology for war and armamentism.
     2) Punitivism. Defense of proposals to reduce the age of criminal liability and to harden punishments.
     3) Fanaticism. Mix of divinity and religiosity with political parties (theocracy).
     4) Racism. Apology of "racial" supremacy and campaigns against immigrants who are poor or come from poor regions.
     5) McCarthyism. Preaching of extemporaneous McCarthyism, with attempts of gags to teachers, artists and reporters.

Brazil: Former president is guilty

Brazil: Former president is guilty

      Cacildo Marques – Sao Paulo

      At the same time that former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio da Silva (Lula) was convicted of corruption for 12 years and one month in prison, South Korean President Park Geun-hye was also sentenced for corruption to 24 years in prison. She went through a process, and received a sentence which is almost double the penalty he received. She did not deny the crime, he did. The detail is that he responds as a defendant for another five processes, almost all dealing with bribery of large companies contractors.

      People from outside Brazil should be surprised that such an important prisoner raves that he is persecuted and innocent, and yet the justice of the country does not listen to him. Unlike the behavior of South Koreans, however, who accept judicial sentences, one of the sad traditions of Brazil is to deny to the ultimate consequences any accusation that one is being targeted.

      Evidences. The ex-Brazilian jailed president directed his defense to brag that there is no evidence against him. The defense followed the order of the client. Instead of scouring the prosecution's pieces, in order to alleviate the sentence, the lawyers spent all the time saying that the evidence was forged, leaving the promoters at ease to work and set up the process. For this first case, in which he was convicted of "dissimulation of ownership" of an apartment he won as a bribe, he could have been sentenced to three years in prison, to be accomplished in freedom, once in the current law of Brazil only who pays more than four years of prison sentence is jailed. With nobody to dismantle the prosecution, the conviction by the judge of first instance, Sergio Moro, was of nine years and the one of the court, in second instance, was even higher, making up those 12 years and one month remembered above. There are at least 22 evidences in the process, including police seized at the defendant's residence. But the defense always repeated "there is no proof".

      Privilege. In certain points, the Brazilian courts in a childlike way gave in to the vagaries of the defendant's lawyers. A "preventive Habeas Corpus" is understood as a piece that the lawyer prepares in advance so that, in case his client is arrested, forward to the court quickly. The defense of the former president understood that preventive Habeas Corpus is to require the court to adjudicate the Habeas Corpus before the defendant is arrested. That was made. Before it was known that the defendant would take that sentence, Brazil's supreme court granted the defense's request and ruled "preventatively" the Habeas Corpus, as applying. The defense, however, was unsuccessful.

      Crisis. The successor of the former president, appointed by him, Dilma Rousseff, completed a four-year term and made many economic mistakes, leading the country to a serious crisis in 2014. Even so, she was elected that year, with a small margin, for a second four-year term. As the crisis did not slow down quickly, although inflation had been reduced, the street riots have intensified. The president had acquired his own flight and no longer consulted the former president weekly, as he did in the first years of the previous term. Now she consulted with Minister Aloizio Mercadante, which infuriated Mr. Da Silva. The reason is that Aloizio Mercadante was the man who took Mr. Da Silva from the trade union and brought him into high politics. He is the creator of him, just as Caesar created Brutus (which participated in his murder), Jesus Christ created Peter (who denied him three times), and Agrippina created Nero (who led her to death). Mercadante, who did not win any office in Da Silva's two terms (for his luck, or else he would be wound up with justice), in the Dilma Rousseff administration began as Minister of Science, became Minister of Education, and finally came to occupy the central post of Chief Minister of the Civil House. Mr. Da Silva accused him of being a bad negotiator and very closed inside himself. It was then that the president appointed Vice-President Michel Temer as "political articulator", with the task of making the connection between the chief minister and the parliament. With much experience in the House of Representatives, the vice president was doing this with competence and success. With that pair in the political area and Joaquim Levy taking care of finances in the Ministry of Finance, little by little the crisis was being removed. But one day the vice president delivered a sentence which, according to Mr. Da Silva, revealed his secret intentions. Temer said, "Brazil needs someone to unify it". It was stated that the vice president showed interest in overthrowing the president and taking her place. Mr. Da Silva, seconded by the president of his Workers Party, Rui Falcao, insistently demanded the president to remove Mercadante and Temer. Mercadante, an old friend of the author of this present text, colleague in the struggle against the 1964 military regime, invented the political man Da Silva and led him to contest the presidential election in the demagogic Luis-Bonapartist system (1848) that unhappy the Latin America for more than one century and Islam for some decades, with Turkey as the youngest member of the club, regardless of whether the model is necessarily failed.

      Agreement. The president of the House of Representatives, Eduardo Cunha, of the MDB (Brazilian Democratic Movement), party of the vice president, did not have affinities with the president and was accused of corruption crimes. She had received 11 requests for impeachment of the president, but kept them in the drawer, in the hope that the president and her party would protect him, not interfering so that he would be overthrown and brought to justice. It happened that a Minister of Education, Cid Gomes, gave a lecture at a university where he accused the Representatives to be a bunch of thieves and packers. The president of the House, Eduardo Cunha, went to the palace to demand the president to fire the minister. Initially she was reluctant, but he pressed and finally the president called the minister and made him ask to be exonerated. In Sao Bernardo, Mr. Da Silva felt that his pupil, the president he had indicated, had acquired complete independence from her mentor, who it was him, Da Silva. Not only did he advise himself with Aloizio, but she dismissed the minister at the request of the president of the Low Chamber. He decided to depart for the attack. He announced, together with Rui Falcao, that there would be no agreement with Eduardo Cunha, since the president could not condone with bandit (previously she could it). Eduardo Cunha, on his side, pulled the 11 processes of impeachment out of the drawer and had the one he considered more consistent.

      Impeachment. Mr. Da Silva had succeeded in overthrowing his preeminent positions with Vice-President Michel Temer and the Chief Minister Aloizio Mercadante. His wish was for the president to leave Mercadante without charge, but she returned it to the Ministry of Education. Mr. Da Silva then sought a way to put himself above Mercadante. The president had installed as chief minister the former governor of Bahia, Jaques Wagner, who had been playing a half-erased role. Da Silva demanded the position. In those days, justice was finalizing lawsuits and he, Da Silva, risked being arrested. If he were to be sworn in as a minister, he would gain a forum prerogative and be free from the first instance, passing into the hands of the supreme court, whose judges were mostly appointed by him and the president. Pressured by the urgency, president called the institute where the former president was in Sao Paulo, advising that he was sending Mr. "Bessias", a clerk, for him to sign, before any emergency. Judge Sergio Moro had been recording calls from that institute, with permission of the courts. At the time of the president's phone call, the time allowed for recording had already been exceeded, but this did not prevented the judge from divulging the speech content. That was the biggest conversation scandal in the 13 years of the Workers' Party government, because it was wide open that the position would serve to free Mr. Da Silva from justice. The inauguration did not occur, obviously. The process of impeachment soon began to process. The piece was chosen by the jurists Helio Bicudo, Janaina Paschoal and Miguel Reale Junior. The accusation was that the president committed a crime against the public purse when using loans from public banks without authorization from parliament. The file was spelled out of "fiscal pedals". The impeachment passed in the House with a loose vote against the chief of State. By rule constitutional, the president was dismissed for six months, being replaced in office by the vice president, until the Senate to emit its verdict. Senators from the Workers' Party could have used these six months to make policy in favor of the president, but they spent that time burning the barn. It was six months of verbal attacks on all party parliamentarians they called "putschist". The Senate vote simply confirmed the Low Chamber's decision. A few months later, the supreme court removed the position of Eduardo Cunha, which led him to have his mandate revoked and finally to be arrested.

      Dilma. As a cadre from the Labor Democratic Party (PDT) rather than the Workers Party, Dilma Rousseff joined her new party by disagreements of alliances in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, winning positions in the state government. The leader of the PDT, Leonel Brizola, accused her, along with others who followed her, of selling herself "for a dish of lentils". Even though she was not trained in the new party, she incorporated a dangerous belief of the new allies, that "money come from trees", or that "money falls from the sky". Thus, soon after the impeachment, the technicians reworked the budget accounts and realized that two-thirds of the primary public deficit (excluding public debt interest) were being hidden. Instead of having the equivalent of 17 billion US dollars, the new account showed something around 51 billion. Without impeachment, the severe crisis would certainly cease, but there would be no transparency to ascertain where the illusory gain and the real gain would be, even because one of the party's flags is the "social control" of the mass media.

      Plan. The parliamentarians of the president's party were told to outline themselves against the majority. There were 18 senators in a house of 81 seats. The plan was to take the party to the opposition, by the "putschists", so that, in the 2018 election, Mr. Da Silva could be presented as victim. At the time of impeachment, the proportion of popular voters against the president and former president was 80%. Under the plan, the buffer government would fail, and Mr. Da Silva would return to the palace in the arms of the population. But, swiftly, the process on the apartment bribe on the beach was completed earlier, and Mr. Da Silva, who settled in the headquarters of the Sao Bernardo metalworkers' union, hoping that the workers were there to prevent his arrest, surrendered the next day, when he saw that the militants paid 30 reais a day by the Apeoesp (union of public teachers of Sao Paulo) to make barricades were waning. From Sao Bernardo, State of Sao Paulo, he was taken to Curitiba and was detained there in the prison of the Federal Police of that city.

      Candidacy. By the Law of the Clean Sheet, of popular initiative, which he himself sanctioned as president, he could not present himself as a candidate, once those convicted in the lower court are prevented for eight years from pursuing elective positions. To keep his party in evidence, he decided to apply for sub judice, up to the limit of trial periods in court. In order to justify an application that the law vetoes, one insisted in the triple argument that (a) Mr. Da Silva is persecuted, (b) he is wronged for helping the poor, and (c) he was convicted without evidence in a warped plot by courts and strengthened by the country's media. The plan is almost perfect, as the preference for his candidacy, laden with bad faith litigation against the electoral court and perjury, is 39% lacking one month and a half for the election, above all legitimate candidates, and his party is favored by 24% of the voters, leaving in second place the MDB, with 4%, and also the PSDB (Party of the Brazilian Social Democracy), with 4%. In addition, these "theses" are spread outside Brazil by Workers Party members and have persuaded influential people, such as linguist Noam Chomsky, jurist Sarah Cleveland and Senator Bernie Sanders. Formerly a poor metallurgist, Da Silva is now the third richest candidate among the thirteen candidates for the 2018 presidential election, second only to Henrique Meirelles, former president of Bank Boston, and the first one, banker Joao Amoedo. The man nominated as a candidate for vice president on the board of Da Silva, Fernando Haddad, tries to inherit the votes of the former metallurgist, but being secondary in the arrangement cannot participate in the televising debates, which invites only the holders, and who are not arrested. The moment the electoral court officially vetoes the name of Da Silva, the deputy takes the place, like head of board. With no time to cast votes and without the money of the wealthy Company Odebrecht, whose CEO is under house arrest, and previously flooded the election campaigns with money, there is no chance for the Workers' Party.
