Theos-Talk Archives (February 2010 Message tt00153)

The key principle involved is the autonomy of the National Section in
Brazil.  I have just posted a message about the autonomy and it is for
the members in Brazil to decide what action they would like to take. No
one from outside has any say.

Brazil in fact functions only on paper, since it is manipulated largely
by Ulisses de Resende, the Chairman or President of the Planetary Union.
You might also want to consider the fact that Marcos de Resende is one
of the many sons of Ulysses and Marcos is the current GS of the
Brazilian Section. Have you ever visited the Planetary Union page? You
will find that one of the Council members of the GC of the TS, Mr
Ricardo Lindemann, also figures in the Committee of the PU....In fact,
if you have been at the TS Conventions for the past three or four years,
you would know that the Planetary Union have been misusing their
privilege to live on Campus at Adyar during the Conventions in order for
them to canvass for the PU and to recruit members of the TS for the PU.
How would you then explain the Freedom of the Society

in Brazil, and since the President of the TS gives these members
permission to stay on campus at Adyar, so the President of the TS, which
is Mrs Radha Burnier, also violates that Resolution?

Oliveira, is Australian and her husband, Mr Pedro Oliveira, is
Brazilian. Can it be another ploy by the current VP and her husband to
retain power in the TS? After all, we do know -- despite all denials by
Keith Fisher -- that Mrs Linda Oliveira does not mind serving a corrupt
President, and bending a few rules in order to become VP of the TS.
