Gostaria de saber se "a maior recriação histórica medieval da Europa," em homenagem a D. Afonso V, vai mencionar que a invenção e o desenvolvimento do comércio criminoso da escravatura atlântica ocorreu sob o seu reinado. Os restos mortais de 158 Africanos encontrados em Lagos datam da sua época.

The US wasn’t “prompted” to invade Haiti and install a brutal military occupation so much as it actively planned for it, helping create conditions to make invasion seem necessary. The Farnham Plan (named for a VP of now-Citibank) to occupy Haiti was already in place when President Sam was lynched.

"Stipulations in the bill to increase information sharing between law enforcement agencies also means U.S. authorities could use the rule changes to find out whether an American has accessed private Canadian health facilities to obtain an abortion, for example."
“It would allow the RCMP and CSIS to make information demands from internet providers, banks, doctors, landlords and even therapists, without judicial oversight…. This is not about border security. It is about government overreach and Big Brother tactics, plain and simple.”
Advocacy groups warn federal bill could give law enforcement sweeping powers to access information

Six members (so far) arrested of a Portuguese neo-nazi militia, plus seized explosives, 3D-printed guns, Hitler texts, and plans to storm parliament. The apparent militia leader, a Lisbon police chief, shot and killed 18-yr-old Flávio Rentim (unarmed, running away) in 2012. He was never disciplined.

He was apparently punched with brass knuckles/rings by a young member of Blood & Honour, a designated and sanctioned terror group in other countries. In Portugal, meanwhile, the 2024 Annual Internal Security Report released in April erased all mention of neo-nazis from its final version.
