Abuse of authority
The authority abuse bill was approved by the National Congress on August 14. The text defines about 30 situations that configure the crime of abuse of authority, such as:
• Obtain evidence through illicit means,
• Decide for imprisonment without legal protection;
• Declare coercive driving without first summoning the person to attend court;
• Obtain evidence in an investigative proceeding through illicit means;
• Request the initiation of an investigation against a person even without evidence of a crime;
• Disseminate recording unrelated to the evidence intended to be produced in research, exposing the intimacy of the investigated;
• Declare the coercive conduct of witness or investigated in a manifestly unreasonable manner or without prior summons of court appearance.

NASA CONFIRMS: ECOLOGICAL PRESSURE ON BRAZILIAN AGRICULTURE IS PURE MANIPULATION!
NASA CONFIRMS: ECOLOGICAL PRESSURE ON BRAZILIAN AGRICULTURE IS PURE MANIPULATION! #share! #aviacaoagricola The agribusiness information agency Rural Business, published last Friday (12th) on its channel a video making a compelling analysis of the scenario around the data on environmental preservation in Brazilian agriculture, released by the North American Space Agency. American (NASA) last month. In the words of journalist Carmen Cestari, Rural Business underscores how much NASA's data actually confirm the manipulation that exists under pressure on agribusiness in the name of ecology, but which actually serves commercial and political interests. NASA has shown that Brazil has 2/3 of its area with preserved native vegetation and Agriculture uses only 7.6% of the country's territory. While the world average is between 20% and 30%, the European Union uses between 45% and 65%, and the United States has more than 18% of its agricultural territory. Numbers, moreover, that corroborate the research done by Embrapa in the Brazilian territory and that in 2016 had reached almost equal percentages of occupation and preservation.

Hundreds of climate activists have marched in south-western France carrying portraits of President Emmanuel Macron that they had illegally removed from town halls and which police had been seeking to recover amid a judicial crackdown.
As the G7 leaders met in Biarritz, demonstrators from a nationwide civil disobedience movement demanding more action on the climate emergency appeared in nearby Bayonne brandishing dozens of portraits the state accuses them of stealing from civic buildings.
Taking Macron down: climate protesters strip French town halls of portraits

Demonstrators said they wanted to highlight what they called the gap between the president’s official pledge to combat global heating and insufficient government action to lower emissions.
As part of the “Take down Macron” movement that began in February, non-violent protesters seized official framed portraits of Macron from more than 100 town halls stretching from small Beaujolais villages to towns in Normandy. It has led to a police crackdown and a number of trials for “group theft by deceit” will take place this autumn.
In Bayonne, a spokeswoman for ANV-Cop 21, a group promoting non-violent action in support of the Paris climate accord, said protesters had gathered with the portraits “because we want to denounce the vast gulf between Emmanuel Macon’s international decisions on the climate and his concrete action in France. While Emmanuel Macron surfs internationally on a false image of climate champion, citizens in his own country are taking him down.”
Some chanted “One, two, three degrees, it’s a crime against humanity!” as they marched through the narrow streets of Bayonne, near the French resort of Biarritz where police had sealed off the town centre for the G7 summit.
“We are holding Macron upside down to show the lack of sense in his policies,” said one demonstrator as some portraits were turned on their head.

Macron has put the climate emergency on the agenda for the G7 talks with a session on the environment and biodiversity on Monday morning. He has said he will push for concerted action to limit carbon emissions in the fashion industry, lower shipping emissions and act on the potent greenhouse gases, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) used in cooling units such as fridges and air-conditioners.

In a video recorded shortly before the summit, Macron said the youth climate protests had made him harden his climate stance. “I’ve profoundly changed,” he told Konbini News.
The centrist Macron styles himself as a vocal champion of fighting global heating and the guarantor of the UN’s 2015 Paris climate accord. He has challenged the US president, Donald Trump, on the issue, vowing France would “make our planet great again”. But at home, there is a “gap between ambition and reality”, the nation’s independent advisory council on the climate recently warned. France is failing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions fast enough, particularly on road transport and buildings, and is unlikely to meet its goals.
When the G7 summit opened on Saturday, more than 9,000 protesters joined a peaceful anti-G7 march across a bridge linking France and Spain. But later in the day, police used teargas and water cannon to break up protests in Bayonne, where hundreds of demonstrators chanting anti-capitalist slogans were blocked from reaching the city centre.
By Saturday evening, 68 people had been arrested, 38 of whom were taken into custody, authorities said.
Anti-capitalist activists, environmentalists and other anti-globalisation groups have converged on a G7 counter-summit in nearby Hendaye, close to the Spanish border, which has largely been peaceful.
Biarritz is a popular surfing destination that would normally be enjoying a summer tourism boom, but with Trump, Boris Johnson and other world leaders arriving for three days of talks, the resort has been in lockdown.
France deployed more than 13,000 police officers and gendarmes to secure the event amid fears of disturbances by radical anti-capitalist groups, anarchists or French “gilets jaunes” (yellow vest) anti-government protesters.

BUENOS AIRES - Thousands of people took to the streets of Argentina on Saturday in support of Mauricio Macri's reelection in the October 27 presidential election, a result that experts find difficult after the big defeat suffered by the Argentine leader in the previous August elections. The president, who was in his country house, returned to the capital and attended the act of the balcony of Casa Rosada, waving to his supporters.
In Buenos Aires, Macri supporters occupied Plaza de Mayo, a traditional protest site in the Argentine capital. When the act filled, the president and his wife, Juliana Awada, went to the balcony to wave to the crowd.

On the balcony, Macri tried to make a speech, but since there was no sound system in place, he just shouted phrases like "let's turn" and "yes, it's possible". To make it easier for the population to get closer to Casa Rosada, the security of the place removed the metal plates that keep the population away from the building. Then the Argentine president posted a video on his social networks:
"Thank you for your support. I heard them, I know what they are going through. We have decided to change because we can be better, we cannot give up, we have to go together now more than ever," said the Argentine president. "Three years is a short time to change a story and we are changing, telling the truth, without stealing, without deceiving them, without shortcuts, working together, talking and so we will continue to build the Argentina we want."

Macri suffered a major defeat in the primary elections on August 11, which precede the national election on October 27, a result considered virtually irreversible by political analysts. Alberto Fernandéz, who has Cristina Kirchner as deputy, had 47% of the vote, compared to 32% for Macri. To win the first round in Argentina, a candidate must have 45% of the vote or 40% and a difference of at least ten points over the runner-up.
PUBLICITY
Demonstrations for the unlikely turn of the current Argentine president also took public squares, monuments and shopping centers in several cities around the country, such as Cordoba and Mendoza. In Rosario, for example, more than 5,000 people gathered near the Flag Monument to show their support for the government, with pro-Macri shouts and opposition to opposition vice-president Cristina Kircher as "Argentina without Cristina" "

BREAKING: Trump Just Got His First GOP Primary Challenger
Follow CollinRugg
Posted August 25, 2019 in Politics
On Sunday, former GOP congressman Joe Walsh announced in an interview that he would be challenging President Donald Trump in the Republican primaries before the 2020 election.He also hammered the President on other various topics.sponsor
"I'm running because he's unfit; somebody needs to step up and there needs to be an alternative," Walsh said. "The country is sick of this guy's tantrum -- he's a child."
Walsh also claimed responsibility for helping to "create Trump."
"I helped create Trump," he said to ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. "I feel responsible for that."
Walsh continued to say that President Trump was "tweeting us into a recession" and also cautioned that "he'll tweet us into war."
Check out what Fox News had to say:
Stephanopoulos called out Walsh for making outlandish statements of his own, including calling former President Barack Obama a Muslim and an enemy. Walsh said Trump "made me reflect on some of the things I've said in the past," acknowledging that at times he "went beyond the policies and idea" and "said some ugly things about President Obama that I regret."
When asked if he truly believes what he said about Obama, Walsh responded, "God no, and I have apologized for that."
During the same interview, however, Walsh made a series of personal attacks against President Trump.
"He's nuts, he's erratic, he's cruel, he stokes bigotry," Walsh said. He accused Trump of not caring about America, saying, "the only thing he cares about is Trump."
Walsh also cited Trump's 2016 campaign promise to build a wall along the southern border and to have Mexico pay for it, which has not happened.
"He’s incompetent. He has no freakin’ clue what he’s doing," Walsh said.
The Trump campaign had far fewer words in response to Walsh's announcement.
"Whatever," campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh said to ABC.
Walsh, who served one term in Congress, acknowledged that he has very little chance of defeating the president in the primaries, but said he wants to promote a different direction for the Republican Party. Earlier in August, Walsh published a New York Times op-ed about the need for Trump to face a primary challenge. He said the positive response to the piece inspired his decision to run.
Earlier in the week, Walsh hinted that he may run against President Trump.
