USA and George

Bush election

In the 2000 US presidential election, the dispute between Republican candidate George W.
Bush (Texas governor) and Democratic candidate Al Gore (vice president)
ended up being decided in court. This election
was marked by the controversy over the granting of 25 votes
to the Florida Electoral College, the subsequent ballot recount
in that state, and the unusual occurrence of the winning candidate receiving fewer popular votes than the loser: Gore
added 50,999. 897 votes to 50,456,002 from Bush. But that's
not what it's worth. It was the fourth election in which the
winner in the Electoral College did not also receive a majority
of the popular vote... Gore formally contested the results and
the Florida Supreme Court ordered the manual recount of
more than 70,000 votes. The Supreme Court, however, overturned the ruling, proclaiming the final outcome of the lawsuit
in favor of the Republican.

Venezuela and Haiti?

An unsuccessful military coup attempt in Venezuela occurred

in 2002. The people went to the streets and prevented the
continuation of the coup. It is interesting to note that the strategy of military intervention that did not work out indicated the
need for new strategies: the military route will be replaced by
the "parliamentary and legal" route. In Haiti, however, we have
a historical inflection with US direct and military intervention,
removing President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 2004, in the middle of the night and taking him to the middle of Africa! Shortly
thereafter, Brazil is invited by the UN to head Minustah, Haiti's
"peace and stabilization" mission. Brazil remains a 12-year
military occupation force in Haiti. Currently the struggle of the
Haitians is for a real democracy without the interference of the
"Core Group" (USA, Canada, France, Spain, US and Brazil) in
the presidential elections.

Juridical
Yes, the Coup is

But this is not a coup that resorts to

weapons, but a coup with new features, a
legal and media coup. It is a bloodless coup.
A parliamentary coup. The legitimization
and acceptance of the coup by most
international governments challenges
democracy and makes us question
what new type of geopolitical
structure has begun to emerge in
the region. We have had in Latin
America the precedent of Paraguay,
that of Honduras, and we now see
the same prospects come to a
country with a greater role in the
leadership of the region.
How can anti-democratic coups
without direct military intervention,
with the consent of the judiciary and
media persuasion, so-called juridicomediatic coups, can reconfigure the
world in a more authoritarian,
conservative, and excluding sense?
In a cognitive capitalism, nothing
more natural than taking power with
the force of perception and fictitious
legality. What are the future of
Democracy when legitimized by a
Judiciary that is often on the right,
conservative and antidemocratic ideas?

Honduras and Zelaya

In 2009, then Honduran President

Manuel Zelaya was removed from
his home by the military forces
following a warrant issued by the
Judiciary and placed in a plane
that took him to Costa Rica. Hours
later, the Honduran Supreme Court issued
a statement saying it had ordered Zelaya to be
deposed in the army. The National Congress
accepted what they said was Zelaya's 'resignation
letter', although the president said that the letter
was not written by him. Then, the president of
the Congress, Roberto Micheletti, was named
President of the Republic.

Paraguay and Lugo

Three years after the fall of Zelaya in Honduras took place

in Paraguay a coup that resembles more the climate of Brazil
today. By 39 votes in favor and 6 against, the Senate
approved on June 22, 2012 the removal of Fernando Lugo
from power, opening space for Vice President Frederico
Franco of the Autonomous Radical Liberal Party, a year after
breaking the coalition with Lugo. The decision crowned the
approval in the Chamber of Deputies, with 73 votes in favor
and 1 contrary to the process of impeachment. According to
the official argument, Lugo was removed from power by the
weak performance of his functions.

Dilma Rousseff
Elected with more

Racist

This government has suspended open calls for artistic projects (previously the
most democratic way to access funding for culture in Brazil) and has sneakily
removed this funding from its annual budget and plan. The prospects look grim
for pop and contemporary culture, urban and techno-digital art alike. The political
project for culture has become an orphan.
At the same time, the pre-existing tax incentive laws continue to reveal their
antidemocratic nature, something that was there from before. Leaving decisions
regarding cultural incentives to companies has only led to further accumulation
of power by these companies, and the prioritization of megalomaniac projects. It
has led to a general retreat from popular culture, and an abandonment of smalland medium-scale cultural activities. It has concentrated the decision-making
processes in the hands of the marketing departments of these private companies,
that are ultimately in it only to support their profits.

Elitist

Yes, the coup is misogynist, as is evident in the sexist attacks of the opposition against president
Dilma Rousseff. The president had her image publicly tarnishedexecrated and shamed. Gender-based attacks and imagery of Rousseff in humiliating situations have attempted to diminish
her political credentials. Dilmas political career was already an exception to the workings of
Brazilian politics; the country has only 10 percent female representation in congress, and this
process of defamation became one of true aversion and hatred. As Mrcia Tiburi put it: What
happened to Dilma Rousseff made us aware that the violent power of patriarchy doesnt only
turn against women, but against democracy as whole, especially in the increasingly radical
version of democracy, with its intimate connection with the feminist propositions and continued struggle for rights. What happened to Dilma Rousseff helps us understand the inner
workings of a true misogynistic machine, the patriarchal power machine, at times an oppressor, at times a seducer. A machine composed of many different institutions, from the state to the family, from the shurch to
the school. A machine whose function is to preclude women
from reaching and remaining in power.
The coup is misogynist, as was made evident by the political
framing established by the currently illegitimate interim president Michel Temer, right after the impeachment. Temer
solely nominated men to his cabinet of ministers. The coup
is misogynist because it takes a conservative stance that
is also mostly white and male.

Yes, the Coup is

After the coup, the political configuration in the cabinet nominated by

the traitorous vice president is constituted by a majority of whites.
This composition reflects an elite that has always bet on the
segregation of the country, where a white minority is fixated on their
privileges that exclude the majority of the black, mixed-race, and
indigenous population and relegates these minorities to a
condition of sub-citizenship. The colonial elite, of slave-owner and aristocrat heritage, designated as
slave-o-crats [escravocratas], has become the business elite of today. The FIESP (Federao das
Indstrias do Estado de So PauloFederation of Industries of the State of So Paulo, a
Brazilian industry entity) sponsored the coup, and is now the new Casa-Grandethe slave
masters houseas states Eugenio Lima (artist and activist), in an interview with Eliane
Brum, in which he describes the poetic performance Legtima Defesa [Self-Defense]
that took place in front of FIESPs headquarters: FIESP is the modern Casa-Grande.
Firstly, it represents on the one hand the subtraction of constitutional rights, to the
extent that this agenda has never been legitimated by an election. This agenda does
not represent the population. Thus, it can only operate on the sly. The second aspect
is that FIESP clearly and directly encouraged fascist actions. Insulting, racializing
speech, putting down. And used public resources to finance private actions, as is
the case with their funding of pro-impeachment demonstrations. This is the way
of the Casa-Grande. Im not calling the FIESP Casa-Grande just because they
are heirs of slaveowners. But because they operate within the logic of CasaGrande. The heritage of the Casa-Grande organizes society, it still organizes the
state in its operative likeness. What was the Casa-Grande? The Casa-Grande
was the Church, the Casa-Grande was the hospital, the Casa-Grande was the
State, the Casa-Grande was everything. The Casa-Grande is the center
around which everything orbits. Thats the metaphor that the forces
gathered around the FIESP enacted in this historical moment. It is a
similar historical moment to that of 1964, and FIESP has had the
same behavior in the past, because the 1964 coup was civil as
well as military. http://brasil.elpais.com/brasil/2016/05/16/opinion/1463408268_288480.html

Yes, the Coup is

The Brazilian judiciary system is in collusion with the extermination of black youth by the police
forces: the lack of prosecution of police crimes legitimates further infractions by the state
police. This is a form of state terrorism. Take, for example, the case of the May 2006 attacks
in retaliation for the murders of policemen by the PCC (a criminal organization initially formed
by inmates within So Paulos prison system). In May 2006, the organization ordered the
killing of over forty policemen, and the police force followed suit by killing around two hundred
civilians in the city in the following months. These became known as the May Crimes [Crimes
de Maio]. With the obvious collaboration of military police officers, So Paulos prosecutors
dismissed the case. On May 25, 2006, seventy-nine prosecutors of the city of So Paulo
signed a letter addressed to the general commander of the military police in which they
acknowledged the Military Polices efficiency in their response [to the police killings], its
concern in re-establishing the violated order, and uncompromisingly defending the State
and affirmed that eventual excesses practiced individually [by the police officers
involved in the operation] would be ascertained. This document was sent nine days
after the military police officer Alexandre Andr Pereira da Silva and another five
hooded men stormed a car wash in the north of So Paulo screaming we are in
command and executed three youngsters. Ten days after in Santos (SP), four
hooded men, identified as police officers, shot nine-month-pregnant Ana Paula
Gonzaga dos Santos in the head and abdomen and claimed children of crooks are
crooks This was written right after what is known as the May Crimes, when So
Paulos military police was suspected of perpetrating one of the worst massacres in
the history of Brazil. The Prosecutor Offices letter was in effect a
demonstration of support from those who should instead be
regulating the police officers actions. As the Mothers of
May movement recalls, these are the same prosecutors
who are trying to jail former president Lula, rendering
him unelectable.

second half of the twentieth century,
military coups in South and Central
America were sponsored by the US as
a way to combat the spread of communism in the

Central America were largely dominated by military regimes.
Haiti, Paraguay, Argentina, Peru, Guatemala, Ecuador,
the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Brazil,
Bolivia, and Chile saw the military seizing
power by force of arms. Thousands of
people died, were persecuted,

SQUATTERS, SECUNDARISTAS (HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN PROTEST),

BLACK AND FEMINIST MOVEMENTS
Recent uprisings by high school students (Secundaristas) have led to the
occupation of hundreds of schools across the country. These events attest not
only to the nascent political creativity of these young adults but also to the
birth of a transversal political practice capable of representing these many voices
and the diverse needs of this particularly vulnerable segment of society. Occupy! This
occupation is also the outcome of an ongoing flux of protestse.g., anti-discrimination
flash mob[rolezinho] protests to support the feminist, black, and suburban struggles.
(These flash mobs consist of very large groups of people, sometimes in the thousands,
from the poor suburbs of Brazilian cities, who converge in middle class shopping malls.
Once they began, the flash mobs were immediately perceived as a threat by authorities).

One of the first actions of the coup government was the dissolution of the Ministry
of Culture, seen as a stronghold of resistance. After weeks of pressure and the
occupation of federal cultural spaces by protesters and mass demonstrations by
artists, the interim government finally relented and re-established the Ministry of
Culture. In the meantime, a zombie ministry was created, solely as a judicial and
institutional faade. The ministrys activities, despite its re-establishment, were de
facto interrupted and there are no prospects of cultural policies ever being
democratically discussed, debated, and constructed. Instead, we have a Ministry
of Culture that refuses to build a political project for culture, and which is barely
continuing the functions outlined for it by the previous government. By so doing
it is cutting off the majority of the populations access to culture.
This governments stance is that culture is inferior and less relevant than its other
priorities. Cultural policies that have been maintained are mostly in place due to
private funds and tax incentives (Rouanet Law).

consummated. Specialists, technicians, and even the judiciary admitted that

there was no crime of tax liability, and that this is a purely political process. So
this is an explicitly juridical-and-mediatic coup, a white coup that dispensed
with weapons and army but which was nevertheless able to remove a
legitimately elected president in the middle of her term. The legitimization and
acceptance of most international governments in relation to the coup
challenges the notion of democracy and makes us ask what new geopolitical
structure has begun to emerge. In Latin America, weve had the precedent of
Paraguay and Honduras. The question that now arises is how these white
coups in which the judiciary power and the mainstream media replace direct
military intervention are reconfiguring the world in an even more authoritarian,
conservative, and exclusionary direction. In cognitive capitalism, nothing is
more natural than the seizure of power accomplished by influencing public
perception through fictitious accusations of illegality. What is the future of
democracy when it is legitimated by a judiciary often tending to the right wing,
to conservative and anti-democratic ideas?

In telephone tapping revealed after the Impeachment

vote in Congress, Romero Juc, a prominent politician
of the plot, reveals the alliance between the two major political figures of the coup:
Juc - If it is political, how is politics? You have to solve this fucking thing ... You
have to change the government so that you can stop this bleeding. [...]
Machado - Man, the easiest solution was to put the Michel [Temer]. Juc - Only
Renan [Calheiros] that is against this solution. Because he does not like
Michel, because Michel is Eduardo Cunha. Guys, forget Eduardo Cunha,

Family Media

The name Media Family is used because all the major media in
Brazil are conservative, sitting in the armchairs of fake Sunday family
morals. Family Media is used because its families are indeedalong
with Pentecostal churcheswhat holds the hegemonic power of mass
communication.
Estado newspaper: Headed by
the Mesquita family. It is the most
conservative of the print journalism outlets. A
bastion of the geopolitical clout of So Paulo in
the rest of the country.
Folha de S. Paulo newspaper:
Headed by the Frias family.
Perhaps the most influential of all newspapers.
Folha de S. Paulo is intimately connected to
the PSDB (liberal conservatives); its the
essential cultural reference of the middle
class. Its the major aggregator of the PTs
(Workers Party) opponents.
Abril: Headed by the Civita family.
Its the largest news imprint in
Brazil. Under its coordination,
Veja, the magazine with the largest
circulation in the country,
showcases conservative discourses and
personalities. It uses its magazines as
part of the campaign against left-wing
parties and discourses.
SBT: Headed by the Abravanel
family. A popular TV
broadcaster, it is owned by
television presenter and a selfmade-man Silvio Santos. Its shows with an audience are a major
example of the alienation of the public by the media.
Record: Led by Universal Church of the Kingdom of God
(IURD). The interdiction on churches to acquire media
broadcasters didnt prevent pastor Edir Mascedo from
building an empire on the triad of faith, media, and church
tax. Recurring to homophobic condemnations and religious
persecutions of Afro-Brazilian religions, this radically conservative
broadcaster defends the Bible in the manipulative media.
BAND: Led by the Saad family. This broadcaster is
connected to agribusiness. Its shows and broadcast
journalism engage mostly with the Bullets, Bulls, and
Bible formula (the acronym designates three political
forces that have at times lobbied together: military forces, police,
armament lobby; religious fundamentalists; and predatory
agribusiness, deeply rooted in a settler mentality). It openly opposes
all the Left.
Rede Globo: Headed by the Marinho family. This network
has been monopolizing TV broadcasting since the
military dictatorship. Roberto Marinho, a Brazilian
Citizen Kane-type, who died in 2003, consolidated an
immense media complex. Globo constructs crises, takes
down presidents, and its journalists often need to take cover
during major leftist demonstrations in which protesters can be heard
shouting: The people arent stupid, out with the Globo Network!

Economic
Yes, the Coup is

The Pr-Sal oil fields (discovered in 2006 and one of the

largest oil reserves in the world) are perhaps the main
economic factor at play in the white coup that deposed the
Left in Brazil. The Left, in keeping with its tradition, bet on
nationalizing natural resources; and the Right, on the
contrary, seeks to open these resources to the
international marketthat supports part of this
conservative political opposition. The future of
Pr-Sal, post-coup, starts to become evident with
the diminished participation of the state-owned
Petrobras, simultaneously showing greater openness to
foreign companies in the concession of this natural
richness.

The eradication of black youth is at the core of all the

illegality the state perpetuates in Brazil. Here a direct
criticism should be made of the previous left-wing
governments that did not prioritize the fight against the
eradication of black youth at the hands of Brazils police
force. How can one speak of the legitimacy of the state, the
legality of democratic processes, when no one secures the
physical integrity and life of the youngest and most
vulnerable segment of the population? Brazils police force
is the deadliest in the world, according to a report by
Amnesty International. Here the nation and its
institutionalized racism is at its most perverse: the violent

death of youth by state agents.

Brazil is the country with the highest number of murders
in the world. In 2012 alone there were 56,000 murders. In
2014, 15.6 percent of these murders were perpetrated by
police officers. According to Amnesty International, the
police shoot at people who have already surrendered, who
are already wounded, without giving any warning signal
that would allow a suspect to surrender before being
shot. On top of the deaths caused by the police force,
during recent decades black youth has been
systematically eradicated. Theres been an epidemic of
murders in the outskirts of the largest cities in the country.
