Brazil – Fear Not!
A message from the Brazilian ministry of Defence to the people of Brazil:
On the seventh of December 1822, roughly 26 years ago, Brazil formally declared its independence from Portugal. This is a date one should keep in mind. For it did not only mean the end of foreign rule over Brazil, no, quite on the contrary, it meant far more. It meant freedom for the people of Brazil.
Now some may not remember those distant days. Some in our country seem to not know at all what freedom actually is. Well, let me tell you. Freedom is a right. Freedom is the right to not be murdered for political beliefs. Freedom is the right to voice one’s religious opinions. Freedom is the right to dissent. Freedom is the right to be different. Freedom is the right to not suffer injustice. Freedom is the right to be rewarded for one’s work. Freedom is the universal right of man. Freedom is the value of our nation.
However, there are those who oppose freedom. Yes indeed, there are! Men who desire power, men who lust for blood, men who slaughter for joy, they still exist. And they are ready to kill to make their evil fantasies come true. Actually, they are not just able to do it; they have to do it for they know very well that they cannot survive on their own. They cannot make food, they cannot comprehend science and they cannot even properly fight. The only thing they are good at is stealing and oppressing. That is what they do for a living. And if you voice only the slightest disapproval they will come for you and they will find you and… lord… you have no idea what atrocities they are capable of. Now you might think: how could a man as evil as that exist? Well, do not be deceived! They are here, everywhere. Brazil is surrounded by them.
Take Bolivia for example. It is the country named after one of South America’s biggest heroes: Simon Bolivar. But what happened to this nation? Is it a democracy? Does it have a constitution? Is there freedom? See for yourself:
Bolivia has sold out on the revolution. The very same treacherous reactionaries which Bolivar fought all his life are now the ones which control his country. Yet this Junta is not only reactionary, no, they are far worse. They are also incompetent and corrupt. Instead of trying to ameliorate the living conditions of their people they spent every pound they could put their dirty hands on to either pay for their decadent luxuries or to fund their pointless wars with Chile. When this junta then also tried to viciously murder the peasants who rose up to protest against the general famine, our great King knew that “enough is enough” and the Brazilian army was sent in to save the Bolivian people.
However, Brazil underestimated the Junta’s will to survive. Not only did Bolivia escape annexation twice but they also rallied their sinister friends: the reactionaries of Colombia. Fearing that their own stranglehold on power was threatened too – even though there was no provocation from Brazil (we didn’t even troops on their border) – the warmongering Junta of Colombia hideously attacked Brazil in what shall be remembered as the day of infamy. Their murderous hordes stormed into Brazilian territory and they slaughtered everything that dared get into their way.
The day of infamy
Now when I walk the streets of Rio de Janeiro I see fear everywhere. Instead of rallying to defend freedom, many have given up hope already. It is true; the north of our country is under occupation. It is true that many villages have been burned. And it is true that we have lost a battle. But fear not for justice is on our side. Already at this moment our brave German ally is striking the Junta at the heart while our armies are using the precious gained time to reorganize our defensive lines. Yes, we have been taken by surprise. And yes, we have been dealt quite a blow. But fear not Brazil, for we are still strong. And we shall strike back with furious vengeance and smash the Junta’s once and for all!
For Brazil! For the King! For Liberty!
