Once more, the powers and the anti-people interests joined together and they both fall both upon me again. I am not accused, I am insulted; I am not opposed by, I am fakely charged, and I am not given the sacred right to defend myself. My voice must be choked, so as I cannot defend, as I have always done, the Brazilian people and amongst them the most humble.

I follow my destiny as set ahead. After decades of being ruled and exploited by the International Economical and Financial Groups, I turned myself leader of a revolution and I won. I started then to hammer out the national liberation through the creation of the social welfare regime but I was forced to resign. Neverthless I returned back to office supported by the citizens'arms.

International Groups, working out an underground campaign, joined Domestic Groups, both ones revolted against the labor law. The over-profit bill was withstood in the National Congress. Hatred was raised against the fair correction of the national minimum wages. I decided to upgrade the national liberty through PETROBRÁS, the National Brazilian Oil Company, and it hardly starts to work and a rioting wave grows against it. ELETROBRAS, the National Electrical Power Company, has been despairely hindered.

They do not want the Brazilian Worker to be free. They do not want the Brazilian People to be free. I took office with raising inflation destroying the value of the salaries. Foreign companies achieved profits of 500% per year. More than one hundred million US dollar frauds in importing operations were unveiled. The coffee crisis came up, increasing our main product value. We tried to defend its price and the response was a violent strike against our economy, obliging us to withdraw.

I have been struggling month after month, day after day, hour after hour, withstanding a constant, never-ending pressure, silently bearing everything, forgetting everything, resigning to myself, all that to defend the people that now do fall aside unsupported. I have nothing to give the people, but my own blood. Should the vultures either want someone's blood or to spoil the Brazilian people, I do offer them my life in holocaust.

I chose that way to be always in your companion. When you suffer humiliation you shall feel my soul suffering beside you. When famine hits your door, you shall feel in your chest the energy to struggle not only for yourself but also for your children. When you are offended, you shall feel in your thoughts the power for reaction. My sacrifice shall keep you joined together and my name shall be your strugle banner. Each drip of my blood shall be an immortal flame on your conscience and shall keep the holy vibration to resist. To the odium I respond with the mercy. And to those thinking to have defeated me, I do respond with my victory.

I have been the people's slave and today I am getting my liberty to the everlasting life. But the people, whom I have been slave of, shall not be anybody's slave again. My sacrifice shall stay forever in their soul and my blood shall be the price of their ranson. I fought against Brazil's exploitation. I fought against the Brazilian people's mistreatment. I have been fighting without weapons. The hatred, the lies, the fake deeds, nothing took me down. I do fear nothing. Firmly and softly I step forward the eternity, leaving life to go into History.
