Brazil's Federal Police launched an operation to investigate an alleged financing scheme with public funds for the film "Dark Horse," a biopic of former President Jair Bolsonaro. The operation was authorized by Judge Flávio Dino, of the Supreme Federal Court, who issued a 150-page ruling consulted by the news agency.

Among the targets of the operation is former TV Globo actor and current Bolsonaro-aligned federal deputy Mário Frias. Altogether, agents are carrying out 49 search and seizure warrants, carried out in Rio de Janeiro. The investigation is examining whether public money was diverted for the film production that tells the life story of Jair Bolsonaro.

PF Operation Dismantles Flavio Bolsonaro's Discourse About 'Dark Horse'

The Federal Police carried out an operation conducting searches at the home of former Culture Secretary and current Federal Deputy Mario Frias, seizing seven weapons, including a Slovak carbine and a double-barreled shotgun. The article connects this police action to Frias's discourse during his time in the Bolsonaro government, when he attacked artists such as Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, and Anitta, as well as criticizing the Rouanet Law. The article highlights that the conversion to the extreme right earned Frias political prestige and an expressive vote in the Chamber of Deputies, three times that of his party colleague Tiririca.

25 years later: US response to September 11 attacks accelerated erosion of American hegemony

Twenty-five years after the September 11, 2001 attacks, an article analyzes how the United States' response to the largest terrorist attack in History accelerated the erosion of American hegemony. The text recounts the initial moments of the attack, when an aide interrupted President George W. Bush during a school visit to inform him of the ongoing attack, and the president's first address to the nation. Details about the planes that hit the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the flight that crashed in Pennsylvania are mentioned, as well as Bush's speech promising to hunt down the terrorists and their allies. The article argues that the attacks marked the beginning of a complex process of changes in the American ethos, both within its borders and in the international perception of the US, a process that has not yet come to an end.
