In the concise article, Fundão Tailings Dam Failure in Southeastern Brazil: Ecological Strike to Rio Doce Basin, the author posits that the 2015 Fundão Dam disaster was a calculated act executed by international bankers and their Brazilian government allies. The dam's collapse unleashed 15.8 billion gallons of toxic sludge into the Rio Doce, wreaking havoc on the environment and local communities. The article suggests this catastrophe, similar to the 2014 Mount Polley mine breach in British Columbia, was a premeditated ecological assault aimed at displacing and harming indigenous populations. The extensive damage included contamination of drinking water with mercury and arsenic, posing severe long-term health risks and ecological destruction.
Drawing parallels between the Fundão and Mount Polley disasters, the article contends that both incidents were orchestrated by placing tailings ponds in unstable locations and continually raising dam walls to handle more waste. The narrative highlights political and corporate collusion, with mining companies donating significantly to political parties and benefiting from weakened regulatory oversight. The piece implicates major financial entities like Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and BlackRock in funding these ecological weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). The author claims that these institutions, under the control of elites like the Rothschilds and George Soros, are engaged in a global strategy of environmental and human destruction, disguised as industrial accidents.
