The Sordid Reality Behind the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil
(Be The Media) November 17, 2012 — Since the announcement in 2009 that Brazil would be the host of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games, construction and renovations have been at full throttle. So far nearly $3,5 billion dollars have been spent on the construction of new stadiums alone; however, billions of dollars in taxpayers money are being invested but no one knows where it is all going. Well, maybe everyone knows well where all the money is going. Romario, former soccer-player-star-turned-politician, has been a vocal critic of the 2014 FIFA World Cup agenda, denouncing that the event is marred by corruption and money laundering.
The worst problem, though, is the fact that an estimated 170,000 people who live in the Brazilian favelas, or slums, are being forcibly evicted from their homes, located on prime land in the hills and mountains that overlook the city of Rio de Janeiro. BBC Brazil reports that what has been happening in Brazil is similar to what took place in China in preparations for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Fascism in Brazil has pretty much been part of the system since its early introduction at the end of WWI. Brazil has a sickening history of corruption, civil rights infringements, police brutality and oppression against the people. So its not a surprise to see Brazil’s socialist government, banks and militarized police agencies are now bulldozing homes and shooting live rounds at people in the favelas including women and children. Greed is what drives politicians, lawmakers, law enforcement agencies, contractors and corporations such as Coca-Cola to promote this virtual social cleansing.
In an effort to expose the illegal and unconstitutional acts of a corrupt, murderous system, a group of young filmmakers decided to produce a documentary to bring awareness to as many people as possible, since there has been a media blackout about the horrors taking place in Rio. Fausto Mota, the director, says that their aim is to draw society’s attention to the injustices being committed against the Brazilian people.
