The fingerprints of the São Paulo Forum (Olavo de Carvalho)

In primary source documents about the São Paulo Forum, we find the following information:
1. As I have asserted from the beginning, and against the whole army of guesses and evasions, the São Paulo Forum exists and is the strategic coordination of the communist movement in Latin America (see the original document in Resolutions of the 3rd Congress of the PT and the commentary in “The Communist Manifesto of the PT”; another original document in Speech by the President of the Republic, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, at the closing of the Governors’ Meeting of the Northern Mercosur Front and commentary in “Coming out of the closet”).
2. Over its seventeen and a half years of activity, there is no evidence in the minutes of its assemblies and working groups of the slightest disagreement, much less serious conflict, among the hundreds of leftist factions that compose it. All final declarations were signed unanimously by the participants (cf. transcription of the minutes and signatures in “Minutes of the São Paulo Forum” on the Mídia Sem Máscara website). None of the complaints and recriminations voiced by anti-PT leftists in the media they themselves call right-wing and bourgeois was ever brought up in the internal discussions of the Forum, which proves that Latin American leftists remain united beneath their surface divergences, however much these may impress the naïve audience.
3. The Forum’s actions extend far beyond what appears in the minutes. According to the explicit confession of the President of the Republic himself, the entity’s meetings are occasions for secret conversations that result in strategic decisions of great reach, such as, for example, the international coordination that consolidated Hugo Chávez’s power in Venezuela (see the official document in “Speech by the President of the Republic, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, at the political act celebrating the 15 years of the São Paulo Forum” and commentary in “Lula, confessed defendant”). These decisions and their practical implementation imply a strategic and tactical unity even more effective than what transpires in the minutes.
4. According to the FARC, the creation of this coordinating mechanism saved the Latin American communist movement from extinction and was directly responsible for the rise of leftist parties to power in various countries on the continent.
5. The declarations of mutual solidarity signed at the São Paulo Forum between legal parties and criminal organizations (see, for example, the 10th São Paulo Forum, “Resolution condemning Plan Colombia and supporting the Colombian people”) did not remain on paper but translated into political actions in which the legal entities were instantly mobilized to protect and free FARC and MIR agents imprisoned by local authorities (I will explain this better, with the respective documents, in a forthcoming article).
In historical research, police investigation, judicial proceedings, political science, or any public discussion that aims to be more serious than electoral propaganda or barroom chatter, the most elementary and unavoidable principle is that primary source documents are the absolute authority, the ultimate criterion for arbitration between hypotheses and opinions.
Thirty years of unprecedented intellectual decay in the civilized world have made this principle inaccessible and incomprehensible to the minds of opinion makers in this country, especially those whom the media considers most respectable and worthy of being heard.
The very idea of “proof,” without which there is no justice, no science, no honesty, much less the possibility of rationally guided action, has disappeared from the consciousness horizon of these individuals, who have thus degraded themselves to the status of lying children, clinging to silly word games to magically make disappear facts they dislike or wish to conceal for any other reason.
I do not say only that they have become dishonest: they have completely abdicated the capacity to distinguish honest from dishonest, right from wrong, true from false. Some did this voluntarily as a sacrifice on the altar of their political beliefs, others out of vain presumption, others out of complacency, others out of mere cowardice.
By trusting them, Brazil committed intellectual suicide, becoming a country incapable of accompanying its own present history with that minimum of alert consciousness whose presence distinguishes wakefulness from sleep.
Never in the history of world media have so many betrayed their mission to investigate and inform at the same time.
