Bolsonaro blamed as UN denounces Amazon murders

Friday, 17 Jun 2022 7:49 AM MYT

ATALAIA DO NORTE (Brazil), June 17 — The UN yesterday denounced the murder in the Amazon of British journalist Dom Phillips and Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira as environmental activists blamed Brazil’s government.

Guardian contributor Phillips, 57, and Pereira, 41, went missing on June 5 in a remote part of the rainforest rife with illegal mining, fishing and logging, as well as drug trafficking.

Ten days later, on Wednesday, a suspect named Amarildo da Costa de Oliveira took police to a place where he said he had buried bodies near the city of Atalaia do Norte, where the pair had been headed.

Human remains unearthed from the site were to arrive in Brasilia yesterday evening to be identified by experts.

FSTV (Free Speech TV) before I cut the cable cord used to run these skits called 'Billionaires for Bush'

Ostensibly it was intended to shame the super wealthy.. Flash forward to the Trump and now DeSantis boat parades. Life is imitating Art. Apparently you can't shame people that have no shame.

Now this...

This is one of the dirtiest things he's done since he wormed his way into office. He's rejoicing in the two assassinations publicly.

Thanks for the link. He has really topped himself with this new display of his evil nature.

So damned creepy!
