Chief Kar\u00e9 Parakan\u00e3 is being threatened with death for opposing foreign NGOs in Brazil\u2019s Amazon<\/em><\/p>\n When Ignacio Lula da Silva ousted Jair Bolsonaro as President of Brazil in a 2022-2023 coup, the global left cheered, expecting Lula to \u201csave the rain forests\u201d and \u201cprotect the indigenous people\u201d of Brazil. A new Parliamentary Inquiry reveals massive corruption in Brazil\u2019s environmental ministry and called for the indictment of Conservation head Mauro Oliveira Pires.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n 11.8 million acres of Brazil\u2019s Amazon have been burned from January to September 2023, according to Rainforest Foundation US<\/a>, nearly double the size of the state of Maryland. \u201cThe number of fires is accelerating: In September, 1.9 million hectares burned in Brazil\u2019s Amazon, marking a 46% increase compared to August, when 1.3 million hectares were affected.\u201d<\/p>\n According to Senator Marcio Bittar<\/a> (Union-AC party), the report calls for the indictment of the president of the head of the government\u2019s Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio), \u00a0Mauro Oliveira Pires, for corruption and misconduct.<\/p>\n Bittar charged Mauro Pires with graft by providing environmental consulting through the company Canum\u00e3, of which he was a partner, while he was head of ICMBio.<\/p>\n \u201cIt means that a public servant belonging to an agency that participates in environmental licensing processes has started to provide services to private companies in exactly the same area. Then, he returned to his position to continue involving himself in environmental licensing applications, on which he may have had influence,\u201d Bittar said.<\/p>\n The report noted that environmental organizations \u201cinstigate and sponsor\u201d prosecutors and prosecutors to seek court orders to suspend projects that could affect the environment in the Amazon Region.<\/p>\n Senator Bittar accused ICMBio and Ibama of delaying infrastructure construction with the delay in granting environmental licenses. \u201cThe NGOs pocketed billions (of Brazilian reais) while making the Amazon poorer every day. They work together to prohibit any infrastructure work for the Amazon. I don\u2019t understand: if the Brazilian interest is to fight poverty, how will it fight if it can\u2019t do infrastructure works: roads, bridges, wells, hydroelectric plants, and if it can\u2019t access natural resources?\u201d Bittar asked.<\/p>\n Senator Pl\u00ednio Val\u00e9rio<\/a> (PSDB) claims that indigenous leader Kar\u00e9 Parakan\u00e3, who helped with the investigation into the NGOs in S\u00e3o F\u00e9lix do Xingu, was now receiving death threats. \u201cI am holding the National Indigenous Foundation (FUNAI) and NGOs in the region responsible for anything that happens to Chief Kar\u00e9,\u201d Val\u00e9rio wrote on Twitter\/X. The CPI of NGOs has until December 19 to complete all activities.<\/p>\n Aten\u00e7\u00e3o! O l\u00edder ind\u00edgena q participou da CPI das ONGs em S\u00e3o F\u00e9lix do Xingu, Kar\u00e9 Parakan\u00e3, est\u00e1 sendo amea\u00e7ado de morte. Estou responsabilizando a Funai e ONGs que atuam na regi\u00e3o por qq coisa q aconte\u00e7a c l\u00edder Kar\u00e9, ja que o \u00f3rg\u00e3o tem conhecimento da amea\u00e7a dentro da Aldeia pic.twitter.com\/pShSktbfHg<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Pl\u00ednio Val\u00e9rio (@PlinioValerio45) December 2, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n\n Parliamentarians charged NGO employees with using threats and violence against indigenous communities and the panel of investigation.<\/p>\n Congresswoman Silvia Wai\u00e3pi (PL-AP) and Senator Damares Alves (Republicans-DF) reported being threatened:\u00a0 \u201cAs a minister, I tried to go to the Yanomami areas of the Amazon,\u201d Damares said. \u201cDo you know what I was told? I was told not to go because the NGOs will incite the Indios to attack me.\u201d The security services recommended not to enter. \u00a0According to Bittar, the collegiate received complaints that NGOs persecute residents of Amazon communities that contest them.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fonte: Ag\u00eancia Senado<\/p>\n \u201cThe truth is that Brazil no longer has sovereignty over 60% of its territory.,\u201c the report states. \u201cBrazilians no longer directly govern the Amazon. Instead, the destinies of this immense and rich region, and the people living there, are shaped by non-governmental organizations, many of which are financed by foreign public and private entities.\u201d the Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPI) found.<\/p>\n \u201cNearly 30 million Brazilian citizens, men and women, indigenous people, caboclos, and river dwellers, have to fight for survival, even though they are on one of the richest regions on the planet\u201d, due to the interference of foreign, corrupt NGOs, the Senators charge.<\/p>\n The \u201cenvironmental\u201d NGO narrative of \u201cpreservation and sustainability\u201d keeps \u201cmillions of men and women, children, young and old, in a state of underdevelopment and backwardness,\u201d the report charges.<\/p>\n \u201cBillions have been transferred from abroad to NGOs operating in the Amazon,\u201d the report noted. \u201cDespite these significant amounts, the results, at least for those who should benefit from this money, are dismal.\u201c<\/p>\n The Parliamentary Inquiry Commission noted that \u201cany NGO that receives money from a foreigner is a foreign organization\u2026 whoever puts money in, gives the orders.\u201d Foreign funders \u201cgive money but do not say how that money will be used and where it will be sent,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n \u201cMuch of the money that comes from abroad to NGOs in the Amazon, with the alleged goal of \u201cpreserving the environment,\u201d has, in fact, impoverished the Amazonian population\u201d \u201cand serves to \u201chinder or even prevent major projects in the Amazon, denying access to essential benefits such as electricity and modern communications to local populations,\u201d the report charges.<\/p>\n The post Like They Give a Hoot About the Rain Forest: Brazil President Lula\u2019s Environmental Head Charged with Corruption, NGOs Threaten Senators and Indigenous People<\/a> appeared first on The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 \u00a0 Chief Kar\u00e9 Parakan\u00e3 is being threatened with death for opposing foreign NGOs in Brazil\u2019s Amazon When<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
