Brazil: Bolsonaro Invites US to Do Business in the Amazon

Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro expressed his desire to 'exploit' the Brazilian Amazon together with the United States and 'revise´the limits of the Indigenous territories.

Refering to his March meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, Bolsonaro said that "I told him... that I want to open up for them to explore the Amazon partnership... the demarcation that I can review, I will review."

During a radio interview broadcasted Monday, the Brazilian far-right politician also criticized what he called the "demarcation industry" and argued that the Indigenous and African people would be better off if they "sell or exploit" their lands.

Last January, among one of his first moves as President, Bolsonaro transferred the responsibility of setting Indigenous reservation boundaries from the Justice Ministry to the Agriculture Ministry, an institution which has traditionally defended the interests of white landowners.

1. If US corporations go in, it will be the end of the Amazon

2. Any, every company should absolutely refuse to participate in murdering the human race

by destroying the "lungs of the earth."

People like Bolsonaro are well beyond evil.

Anyone who supports him is a monster, as well.
