Follow the ruin

Busting someone’s reputation is absolutely a matter of technique.

There are so many of these techniques plentiful displayed like any of those desired goods on the shelf of a countrywide retailer everytime our shopping errands need to come true.

A closer inspection of Swiss Kiss uprising until becoming a web broadcaster would reveal a boy merely lost in the belief people walk like they talk. It seemed naïve, for sure, but his insistence on the third layer Banestado list — the one provided by the New York’s Prosecution Office and skilfully filed and waived by the Brazilian Senate — was not a kind of L’armata Brancaleone as many pseudo-journalists, especially the ones operating within a pseudo-Left, tried to apply: Banestado was the birth of the hybrid wars in that country, supposedly well plotted by The Organism, a sort of third leg of very successful entreprise like The Jakarta Method half century ago.

We shall always remember The Organism has never, procedurally, left any hung fringe: at any sight of an uneven stitched thread, they go straight the point and clear the aisle in a majestic clinical striking.

If the list was to be opened widely for anyone to read and get in touch with part of the most horrendous national revenue disappearance in the beginning of the century, maybe many of The Left would have their names found on that. Half of the pseudo-Left press’ task was to raise a smoke screen before the audience’s eyes as a way to have time enough to find good excuses for the presence of “the great leaders of the Left” names there, an elite which had proved to be utterly indulgent towards the most gruesome monetary evation involving New York Banestado agency by the Central Bank resource of the CC5 accounts.

Double Express — Swiss Kiss’ broadcasting web channel — had not the purpose of exactly sprawling terror over those whose name eventually could be found in the CC5 third layer list: the real intention was forcing former president Swarf to collect from the Swiss national prossecution office the real plea bargain dossier provided by The Contractor when his son became one of the Car Wash operation defendant. The treat conducted by The Starlet and Glassy Surfer has the unique intention of giving him — the son — enough room to spill the beans under the promise of waving some good probation in a due course.

So the official document came to light, and even The Thai has pushed Swarf internationally in one of his articles by asking the former president about what he was supposed to do since local judicicracy led by The Starlet and The Supreme Sun had set him up a sentence upon a tasteless evidence conviction — The Organism’s favourite technique to smash opponents — and banned him from being one of the presidential runners.

file folder used to put reports away with the stamp “confidential” on it.

One of Double Express drives was to help the former president to get rid of a sentence based on evidence conviction: Swarf was not an unanimity among great deal of voters, but he made some great improvements in social condition of a considerable majority. It wasn’t fair to be treated like that if one bear in mind his popularity in this field. He was supposed to be very careful at that moment: strong rumours have indicated The Contractor’s plea bargain document version in the Congress was edited in such way the big chiefs of national politics were completed saved from court and the so-called judicicracy. It wasn’t reasonable just one person had to suffer from that strange circumstance when everyone helped themselves in the endless national revenue banquet.

Swiss Kiss was a soldier of that old, romantic Left. His naivety was so sky rocketing that he did believe anyone who faced what the Swarf had to deal with before that last election would do everything to prove inocence or whatnot. Although being young — a sort of millennial militance which could perfectly include good registries like pictures with Las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo, in Argentina — he kept the flame of the old Left ideals flaring, practicing equality and social justice in his work of denouncing as a way of gilding the truth upon the face of his so beloved homeland.

Intellingent as a lawyer, impaired as a wise man: maybe he didn’t want to see that Swarf was not very enthusiastic about having the real papers from the Swiss public prosecution office.

To start a war sometimes demands a measurement which percolates very uncommon interstices.

That was an opened door for part of the pseudo-Left press to ravage flat out both Double Express and Swiss Kiss. A strong suspicion arose: would that part of the press interested in hiding something? Surely Double Express formed an army of followers pushing further explanations, and positions, on possible crowned heads when the topic was the Banestado third layer list — a kind of innoportune manifestation undermining other web broadcasters’ work. However, out of debt, out of danger: there wasn’t any reason to assail humble taxpayers by dehytrating their legitimate claim before one of the most conspicuous tax evation scandal in the recent history of that country.

The attacks grew more and more vicious, at a point these common taxpayers were classified as political flateathers by a part of this pseudo-Left journalism each and everytime the word Banestado or the Swiss version of The Contractor’s plea bargain were mentioned.

The height vertigo: politics, law system and mass media always against the people.
