Action!
My mission...
is to destroy this small...
poor planet Earth!
The bird of eternity does not exist.
My father betrayed me...
The bird of eternity does not exist.
Only reality is eternal.
I am listening!
And in the waiting space...
I am crying...
Waiting...
for better days...
Ah my heavenly Father!
Ah my heavenly Father...
Epa hey, mama.
Ah my heavenly Father! Aaai...
Ah my heavenly Father...
Epa hey, mama.
Ah my heavenly Father...
What shall tomorrow bring? Tell me if you know
What shall happen to me? My fate is God's will
What shall tomorrow bring?
Tell me if you know
What shall happen to me? My fate is God's will
The gypsy read my fortune
I dreamed Crystal ball
Castelo...
was there a revolution within the Revolution of 1964?
You know what happened in Brazil...
after President Jânio Quadros resigned.
But there's no point in dwelling on details.
We need only recall the sense of preparation...
for what we thought would be a leftist revolution...
with leftist factions...
and extremists of various types.
With or without them...
military and civilian reaction was intense.
Congress was in readiness, supported by the middle class...
and by big business.
Allegedly, they overthrew President Joâo Goulart's administration...
in order to safeguard democratic institutions...
and defend Congress and the judiciary branch...
against threats of subversion to the executive branch.
True to Brazilian historical tradition...
there was to have been a swift intervention...
in the country's political life...
one that would right wrongs and return power to civilians.
But the revolution's civilian and military leaders...
soon came to an agreement...
and appointed someone to finish off President Joâo Goulart's mandate.
They elected Gen. Castelo Branco...
who gave a highly conservative connotation to the military coup...
which soon became a movement...
called the Revolutionary Movement or the Revolution of 1964.
In fact, there was no revolution in '64.
Pedro Aleixo - the leader of that revolution within Congress...
preferred to call...
it a preventive counter-revolution.
It was actually a conservative movement...
designed to uphold public order...
and guard against possible acts of subversion...
within the highest echelons of government.
President Castelo Branco did, indeed...
carry out a conservative policy...
which pleased the country's ruling classes...
and restored...
Brazil's automatic alignment with the United States.
He introduced a series of reforms...
that weren't intended to be radical...
and that, in reality, wound up being no reform at all.
The Castelo Branco administration's...
final legacy was its continuation of the 2nd Institutional Act.
Under the influence of military forces...
dissatisfied with the Castelo Branco administration...
Marshall Costa e Silva, who was then the Minister of War...
seized power...
He had himself elected President...
by the National Congress.
It soon became clear that...
he wasn't as liberal as Castelo.
His message was a different, humanistic one.
The Minister of Planning...
began to preach a humanization of the economy.
Because everyone understood...
that Min. Roberto Campos's...
drastic approach to inflation...
had led to an economic recession...
that created serious problems for the country.
So the Costa e Silva administration began with...
an attempt to humanize economic policy...
foreign policy included.
Unlike Castelo's, the Costa e Silva administration...
would no longer be sending troops to the Dominican Republic...
a brutal error on the part of the Castelo Branco administration.
But for congressman Belarmino's intervention...
it would have been followed by another, more serious error:
Sending troops to Vietnam.
That act was blocked by the President of the House, Congressman Belarmino.
The Costa e Silva administration changed this focus.
And his Foreign Minister...
who is currently Senator Magalhâes Pinto...
refused to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty...
adopting the first attitude of resistance to North American policy.
He abandoned a policy of automatic alignment...
and began to reposition Brazilian foreign policy...
according to the type of independent standards...
that President Jânio Quadros had sought to establish.
And the Costa e Silva administration...
began its slow revolutionary evolution...
a process that underwent substantial changes...
over the years.
But ever since Costa e Silva, and despite the fact...
that his economic model stimulated foreign capital investments...
which brought about tremendous...
Brazilian macro-economic GNP growth...
distribution of income continued to be inadequate.
Yet the Costa e Silva and Médici administrations saw...
moments of euphoria that characterized...
the country's economic structure.
Despite the fact that this brought about a generalized nationalist critique...
it didn't alter the political evolution...
that was in progress within the system.
So Ambassador Mário Gibson...
who was Pres. Médici's foreign minister...
not only continued to uphold the previous administration's policies...
but refused...
to uphold the policies of the Castelo Branco administration...
and those of earlier administrations, such as that of Quadros...
maintaining an alliance with Portugal...
and a commitment to Portugal's colonialist policy.
It was a new step towards a more...
autonomous Brazilian foreign policy.
An independent...
foreign policy...
was substantially continued during General Geisel's administration...
through Brazil's acknowledgment of the People's Republic of China...
its early acknowledgment of the People's Republic of Angola...
and its anti-conservative...
anti-Zionist vote at the UN.
This provoked reactions in the most conservative groups...
the remotest echo of which is the letter...
manifesto written by Gen. Sílvio Frota...
upon his departure from the Ministry of the Army...
accusing President Geisel of promoting communism in Brazil.
Castello, how were the people affected by all this?
Did they benefit from the Revolution?
As President Médici said on a visit to the Northeast...
at the height of the Brazilian economic miracle...
the nation is doing well, but the people are not.
Ever since then, I believe...
our revolutionary governments have meant...
to improve the lives of the people as well as that of the country.
However, we are experiencing a process...
in which this has not yet been possible.
Economic growth and the battle against inflation...
continue to be priorities.
Unfortunately, this is not true of higher salaries...
or the well-being of the people...
both of which are mid-and long-term goals...
of projects currently in progress...
the success of which we hope will be total...
although we cannot be certain of it.
Ah, heart attack! Heart attack!
My heart's going to explode... Heart attack!
Easy, Brahms... Doctor! Doctor!
Brazil!
California's
for shit!
North America is shit!
I come bearing peace...
not victory.
Peace! World peace, universal peace!
With the gold of this city... Gold, gold!
My name is Gold! Darling, darling, darling, to the tropics.
We have soleil here! L'amour, love, love!
Black man, I'm gonna fuck your ass tonight.
Congressman, I know you're corrupt.
So I'm going to give you 500.000 dollars...
to settle all my problems right now.
I want... I want whores!
I want whore women! I want to suck pussy!
How do you say "suck whores" in Brazil? Yeah, whores.
Coffee Brazilian, I like.
Do you like coffee?
Do you like coffee, Maurício?
Say: "Coffee, the wealth of Brazil"!
Actually, I'm very playful. I'm a democrat now.
Remove King Momus in the cangaço!
For 500 years my slaves have been building the pyramid...
that is to be my tomb.
My tomb shall be in the future!
I can't stand the pain any longer... and go to hell!
Brahms! Brahms!
Do the massage, do the massage!
Ah! Dog!
Brahms, I'm taking you to a masseur...
to a Spiritist center, Brahms.
You must lift yourself up. You are the fortress of the world, Brahms!
I'm finished...
No, you aren't! See the pyramid you've erected...
the one my brothers built with blood!
Go to hell! Rid me of this pain I can no longer bear...
Get up, Brahms!
Fuck you!
There is wealth still, I know. This is the land of the future...
which is why currency will have to overcome everything.
But I'll pay double the amount, because Americans know how to pay.
You're really ugly, young man!
You...
are really ugly!
You... Are you gay? Are you gay?
Brahms, the time has come for you to hear the voice of the Third World
You represent the pyramid
We are prisoners of that pyramid!
Myself, my brothers, we, the slaves
Brahms, the time has come for you to hear the oppressed peoples
of Latin America, Asia, of Africa
Humanity marches towards a Third World War
The world shall be destroyed by the atomic bomb!
Here is the situation at the end of the twentieth century:
There are rich capitalist countries
and poor capitalist countries
And there are rich socialist countries
and poor socialist countries
Actually, there is a rich world and a poor world
Brother, brother
Prepare one more happy way For my lord
With many lovely flowers, And music, and music
Brother, brother
Prepare one more Happy way for my lord
With many lovely flowers, And music, and music
Jesus Christ is my Lord, Jesus Christ is my friend
Brother, brother
Prepare one more Happy way for my lord
With many lovely flowers, And music, and music
Brother, brother
Prepare one more Happy way for my lord,
With many lovely flowers, And music, and music
Jesus Christ is my lord, Jesus Christ is my friend
My time is coming!
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
God! Thank you, Lord!
I absolve you...
in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Amen!
Oh, God!
John Brahms
will never die!
- I shall return - I shall return...
- And you shall learn - And you shall learn.
Say that louder: I shall return and you shall learn
I shall return and you shall learn!
Get up!
Run, run
Here I am, here I am.
Here...
is a great invisible dagger...
to defend you...
in great battles...
in foreign lands you must roam.
Take this:
The arrow...
that will defend you...
against all your enemies...
in those great battles.
The bow...
that will defend you against all your enemies...
visible and invisible.
Take...
the crown...
made with feathers from the sacred bird of eternity.
Wear it only during the great moments of your great battles.
But before that...
you must travel to the farthest, most distant desert...
to fight all the demons...
and triumph against them in order to carry...
on your great battle.
Get thee behind me, Satan!
Eat, eat...
I crave hunger and thirst...
Father!
Help me to resist temptation, Father!
For over 100 years I have searched for you in this desert.
I have traveled across seven continents...
the Sacred Planet...
You are a most dangerous enemy, friend.
You are the enemy of Faith.
The enemy of Country!
The enemy of Power!
You are more dangerous than plagues or storms!
I have orders to kill you. Your head is worth millions.
But I do not wish to kill you!
I do not wish to see you dead.
Because I love you!
No! No...
I shall not kill you!
I would seduce you.
I would have you love me. I would have you serve me.
I would have you adore me.
Brother, I want your blood
Brother if you have the power to do so
transform these stones and these trees into bread
As your prisoner, I could do it
to rid myself of you, Satan
But I do not believe there is any need to do so
Miracles succeed one another every second
See the fish in the sea
the fruit on the tree, the roots in the earth
All of them feed man
They are miracles performed by the Father every second
I know who you are
You always hide your game
For many ages I have searched for you
I seek after you yet again
It is written that if the son of God
shall have armies of angels to serve him
So go to that ravine
and throw yourself from it, that the angels may stop your fall
Ah, Satan, this would defy God the Father
a thing I shall never do
I merely follow your dictates, Satan
Bunk!
Brother, little brother
I have many precious stones
many treasures, much gold
I have profited much from my wars, from my armies
Brother, little brother
all this shall be yours, little brother...
if you serve me, little brother If you follow me, little brother
I have grown weary of you, Satan
I shall never bow before my Father's enemies
Get thee behind me, Satan!
I want your loyalty...
your loyalty!
Adore me and...
I shall give you the Earth.
No!
The world is ours! The world is mine!
If you do not adore me...
you will be condemned to all Eternity!
Can you imagine it? Brahms walked into the President's office...
and put a revolver to his temple...
An attempted coup...
and nothing happened!
Then the shit hit the fan and Brahms blew his chance.
And that's why I'm fed up!
I can't stand this coup d'état...
Third World underdevelopment bit any longer...
I just can't bear it.
What does it get me?
I've been harnessed to Brahms for six years now...
and I don't even know why. I don't know. I don't know why.
I don't know anything, see? There's got to be another life.
There must be some other life out there.
I'm gonna give it a try.
Won't you try with me, my love?
Speak up, Danuza!
Won't you try with me, my love?
Listen, it's your last chance and maybe mine, too, you know?
Let's forget all that...
Shake it, Danuza Geraldo, go!
I want power!
Speak up Say it again: "I want power"
I want power! Power! Power!
I am the power. You can't have power without me.
- I want my inheritance! - Do you love me or not?
I do, I do, I do...
Speak up! Ten times louder
- "I do, I do, I do" Go, Geraldo! - If you love me...
- Do you love me or not? - I do, I do, I do.
And if you do love me, why don't you kill Brahms?
- Hello, hello... An orgy. - Kill Brahms? No! No!
I'm talking! Listen... I'm talking. Hear me, please...
Kill Brahms. That's your only solution...
and your last chance.
Brahms has cancer, cancer, cancer, cancer!
But Brahms's cancer is like the Right - it never dies.
You have to kill Brahms with a knife or a revolver...
because the cancer itself will never kill him, you know? Never!
If Brahms dies, his inheritance is mine!
You inherit and I will be with you. Power.
I am the Devil's heir. Ah, Brahms, my father, my father!
Ah, Brahms my father...
Conspiracy!
I can't wait a century for an inheritance.
Your fault...
balance the ecological path...
the birth rate.
You're worthless, Brahms! Worthless.
You're an ornery son of a bitch! You know that?
Hit me, beat me... Ah, bliss! Hit me some more, go ahead...
Like this...
Just for that I won't slap you.
Just for that I won't do it.
That kills me. It just kills me. Go ahead, slap me...
Die! You need to die without being slapped.
You deserve that, you know?
Really? Do tell. What's the matter?
Get up.
And speak, you bastard!
Naturally I'm a cuckold. I'm a fucker. I'm a cuckold.
I also have a faggot son.
A panelón!
A queer.
Father... Father, I am hungry for power! Father!
Go fuck yourself!
Why have you set me apart, father?
I am your heir, father!
I don't want to kill you, father!
I can't stand either one of you.
I despise all men.
You're all assholes!
But you love me. Do you enjoy being spanked?
Delightful!
I love you, darling!
Justice! Justice!
As long as there are oppressors, there can be no happiness!
Happiness... If happiness existed in this world...
Happiness is ours.
These are the times we live in.
That's happiness, you whore!
Not me fucking my murdering...
cowardly son...
I don't know who the bigger murderer is, you or me or your son...
Because someone's going to die here today. Someone will die here today!
Someone's going to die.
And do you know who's going to die? The weakest one.
The weakest one will die. And you're the weakest one, you know?
You are.
Die, you son of a bitch, die.
You deserve to die. Go, go, go!
Help me. Help me. Come!
We have sex and beer!
Let's dance, my darling?
Always betrayal, always betrayal!
Let's stop this once and for all.
Are you jealous, my darling? Are you jealous, my darling?
Yes? Are you jealous?
Kill me, my son! You are my sole heir.
Oh, my father, I don't want to kill you, beloved father.
I don't want to kill you, beloved father.
But you shall kill me! You shall!
Terrific! Tonight you die with me. This is so great!
It shall be indescribable happiness.
Louder, speak up!
I am the heir.
I can't wait for the century to end so I can inherit.
I want Ogulaganda, papa. I want Ogulaganda!
Get out!
So now you want to cozy up to Ogulaganda?
This isn't the time for it, my son.
Papa Brahms is in love.
You die now!
Everybody get into bed! Go, Danuza
This is the hour of power. Of power!
And the strongest man wins.
The weak are in big trouble. Big trouble...
And you aren't power. Brahms is power.
- I am! - Yes.
The power is Brahms and power is almighty.
There can be no happiness while there are tyrants!
Did you know tyrants are good in bed? The best!
There can be no happiness while there are tyrants!
Bed is the true theater of power.
Orgy!
Trust in God and you'll be safe, On the winning side forever
He is my guardian And He is with me
He comforts me and shines His light on me

By Jehovah...
I free you, man, of this burden.
You are reborn.
Rise up.
Death has no business here.
- What is your name? - Joseph.
Joseph, like my father.
You are safe, Joseph.
Be on your way.
Follow your path, your mountain.
Blessed are...
the hungry.
Blessed...
is poverty.
For one day they shall be released.
Blessed are the atomic bomb and the whore of Babylon.
Blessed are the criminals.
Arms are my theme, and those matchless heroes who...
from Portugal's far Western shores...
by oceans where none had ventured, voyaged to...
Taprobana and beyond, enduring hazards and assaults...
such as drew on more than human prowess...
among far distant peoples...
to proclaim a New Age and win undying fame...
I am not worthy that thou shouldst come to me...
but speak one word of comfort and my spirit shall be healed.
Blessed be the mad...
for they shall find reason.
Where is the Promised Land?
Come unto me.
I baptize thee in the name of the Father...
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Come out of the darkness.
See the light of day.
My message is one of peace.
Freedom shall be born from love, not from violence.
Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's.
Hop, little dove, hop
Play, guitar, play
Clap your hands, stamp your feet
Tease the sky back down to earth
Five million people are dying of hunger in Asia.
I have come to Asia to feed the hungry.
I multiplied the fish. I multiplied the loaves.
I quenched the thirst of those who were thirsty.
You are the richest man in the world...
but you must work for a living.
As for me, I make magic with a simple gesture.
I can make five million loaves of bread from one loaf.
From one fish I can make five million fish.
Whosoever follows me shall gain the Kingdom of Heaven.
And the tree that bears no fruit must be uprooted...
burned and cast into the depths of Hell.
It is written in this sacred book...
that the true Messiah...
is being born right now, at this very moment...
for the salvation and remission of all God's children...
of all the sinners in a universe that has strayed from truth.
The true Messiah shall be born.
The son of Buddha came from the House of the Rising Sun...
from the far corners of the deepest East to inhabit this Earth...
and save the lost souls of the Universe.
Down with Colonialism!
No, Carter! No, no.
Go home, go home.
Social democracy... Unionizing...
Nationalization, freedom of thought...
The parties...
New parties... Total freedom.
Man will be happy only when tyranny is overthrown.
What tyranny? The black man's? The white man's?
The worker's or the human being's?
Of people just like yourself.
Not of people like me
People who are blind like yourself.
It is love, it is peace, it is the freedom of my naked body.
I desire you, nakedness!
Come to me.
I would not have the dance of death.
I desire the dance of beauty, the dance of beauty.
I want love, afflicted love.
The love of peace. I do not want the love of war.
I want love. I want freedom.
I want to cry out. I want to sing.
Come, come to me. Take off your clothes!
I want you naked. I want you naked, beauty.
I would give you the love of the gods...
of Heaven, of David...
of Omolu, of Ogun.
- I am the life, I am the way. - You're a mystifier.
I am Africa. I am Christ!
You're a mystifier.
I am freedom. I am the continent. Love me!
I cannot love you
It's not you It's what you stand for
- Love me! - You and all men
Quench my thirst.
I was conducted into the Communist Party
You don't know what it's like for the workers.
In Sâo Paulo, in Paris, in London, in Italy, in Greece.
I'm a worker, too. I'm a sex worker.
One of my johns turned me in to the police.
They tortured me. They tortured me a lot.
I admit I felt pleasure in that hell.
Although you have not given me your body
you gave me food when I was hungry
I live with a whole bunch of poor people...
but there's room for one more. Do you want to come live with me?
- What do you do for a living? - I castrate men.
I have a mission to accomplish.
Free...
the cooks!
Free...
all the cripples!
Free...
A democracy, a greater freedom!
I have been jailed, condemned...
I escaped. Goodbye. You shall live in peace.
You are cured. You are free.
I am peace.
Sleep Tomorrow a new life begins
The future belongs to women
I shall continue on my path, saving humanity

After a Prophet appeared in the Northern mountains...
no one dies here.
They say he works miracles.
He multiplies the loaves, walks on water...
resurrects the dead and cures all illnesses.
No! No! Don't say that name.
Don't speak of Christ. I fear Christ.
Ouch, ouch. Oh, my God!
Son of a bitch!
I was going to ask them to check for stones and I forgot...
Fuck fuck fuck!
It's better, it's better, it's better...
- Did my rings hurt your face? - It's better...
it's better.
Son of a bitch! I was going to ask them to check for stones and I forgot...
Son of a bitch! I hurt my knee, godammit!
I feel like a fucking sissy!
It broke, Caco.
Son of a bitch!
I ruined everything.
You know what I did?
- It's full of sand. - Son of a bitch!
Could you get me a drink of water, please?
Let's do one for real. Do you want it dirty like this?
I'm sorry, Glauber.
Get down there, Ana

In the year 1883
On April 19
Getúlio Dorneles Vargas was born
He would later become the ruler Of our Brazil
He was elected to congress
To protect our country
He came here during The revolution of 1930
To replace Washington Luiz
And ever since 1930
He's been our most popular president
Always in touch with the people
Tirelessly building a new Brazil
As Volta Redonda, The city of steel
The great Siderúrgica Nacional Proves to us
The day the great Italian poet Pasolini
was murdered
I thought of making a film about the life of Christ in the Third World
Pasolini filmed the life of Christ
just as John XXlll
was overcoming the ideological paralysis of the Catholic Church
with regard to the problems of the underdeveloped peoples
of the Third World
and the European working class
It was the rebirth
the resurrection of a Christ who was not adored on the Cross
but a Christ who was revered
revolutionary and experienced in the ecstasy of resurrection
Over Pasolini's dead body I saw
of Christ as a new, primitive phenomenon
in a very primitive
very new civilization
Twenty, thirty, forty, fifty million years
Science, physics, archeology
and anthropology
all the sciences that materialize desire
language itself is lost
Portuguese cannot adequately express our knowledge
of a past devoid of memory
Five hundred years of white, Portuguese
European civilization mixed with Indians and blacks
And millennia immeasurable
by mathematical time or folly
we don't know where they came from
not even the nebula of chaos
of nothingness
In other words: God or nothing
If you don't believe in God, you believe in nothingness
If nothingness is God
then History is very swift
fantastically swift
A lysergic despair
undefinable by any Word
that might define the meaning of the pyramid
Here in Brasília, for instance, on this fantastic stage
at the heart of the Brazilian plains
the radiant source, the light of the Third World
- a metaphor unrealized by History - War! Freedom! Justice!
But it fulfills a sense of greatness:
The vision of paradise
That pyramid, this pyramid
is the dramatic geometry of the social State
Power is at its zenith
- Its foundations lie below us - War! Freedom! Justice!
And then the intricate labyrinths of class mediations
- All of it in the theater - We must save the people.
Quite The city and the jungle
Brasília is Eldorado, "El dorado"
sought by the Spaniards and other visionaries
Talk to the camera
- Look at the camera - Are you hungry?
Here Look, at the camera and say it like this Ask her, Pitanga
Are you hungry?
No He asks whether you're hungry
you look at the camera and say: "I am" Go!
- Are you hungry? - I am.
No! Look the other way
- Are you hungry? - I am.
Louder!
- Are you hungry? - I am.
This sea of mud!
An entire ideology of love focused by Christianity
- Speak. I am listening! Rights! - Which is a religion of the
- African, Asian, European - Rights!
And Latin American peoples, of all the peoples
Christianity that occurs not only within the Catholic church
but also in all the other religions
that find the figure of Christ within their deepest
innermost, most eternal, subterranean
or forgotten symbols
A Christ who is not dead
but alive and preaching love
and creativity
The search for eternity and victory over death
Because death is a structure
determined by a fatalistic code
possibly sexual or genetic in origins
Who knows? Death can be vanquished
So civilization is a small thing
before Christ and after Christ
A technological, economic development in Europe
Mercantilism, capitalism, neo-capitalism
socialism, trans-capitalism, trans-socialism
anarcho-constructivism
All mankind's despair in its search for the perfect society
Utopias, the march of society
He was betrayed...
and shot himself...
in the heart.
Religious conflicts between Catholics
and Protestants have brought about explosions
navigations, and wars
Moorish invasions in Europe, Christian invasions in North Africa
Spain, Portugal and England occupied America, the other shore
Massacred Indians, imported blacks
Wars of independence, land wars, industrial wars
Land wars and industrial wars Industrial wars and land wars
Civil wars, uprisings, dictators, wars, guerrillas, revolutions
Coups d'état, democracies, regressions
advances, retreats, sacrifices, martyrdoms
The progress of America, of North America
American technological progress leads civilization
into the world of the twentieth century
The Soviet Revolution, the Soviet Revolution
the Soviet Revolution of 1917
led by Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin
utterly subverts North American capitalist discourse
Meanwhile, the underdeveloped people of Latin America
of Africa and of Asia pay the price
for the technological development of Europe
of the United States, of capitalist Europe
of socialist Europe, of Catholic Europe, of protestant Europe
of atheist Europe, of the United States
What do you think of the country?
Underdevelopment is at the base of the pyramid
The underdeveloped are powerless
They all hope for peace
Everyone must seek peace
A dialectical synthesis of capitalism
and socialism shall come to pass I am sure of it
And the Third World shall see the birth of a new
true democracy
Democracy is neither socialist, communist nor capitalist
Democracy has no adjectives
- Democracy is the reign of the people - In 1954...
De-moc-ra-cy is the un-reign of the people
He...
We all know we are dying of hunger in the Third Worlds
We all know about the poor children
the forgotten elderly, the insane, the hungry
so much poverty, so much ugliness, so much misfortune
- We all know this - I have no other way out.
An economic, social, technological
cultural, spiritual, sexual revolution is needed
so that people may truly experience pleasure
As victory! Not as defeat.
Brazil is a large country
Latin America, Africa - one cannot think of a single country
We must multinationalize
and internationalize the world
an interdemocratic regime
With the great contribution of Christianity
and other religions, all religions
Christianity is the same as all other religions
Between the understanding of the religious
and politicians who have converted to love
No one shall be made to follow anyone else!
Those who would go...
let them come if they will.
Let them come if they will.
No one shall be forced into anything. No one should be forced into anything!
Nero thought the same thing, my brother,
and yet he failed.
I have nothing against violence.
Now I shall show you how you have been bedeviled.
I shall prove to you what happens to matter over mind...
and you shall have peace, my brother.
At last I have found happiness!
Forgiveness was invented by man.
Go on with your lives.
And if the Father forgives us, we shall all be forgiven.
Those who come are here because they want to be.
Let the followers follow.
Come... Come together.
No one should be forced to do anything!
Let those who would follow me do so out of free will...
not because they have been forced to do so.
- Be patient. Better days will come. - I have no doubt.

Neither I nor anyone is stronger than John Brahms, no one!
I am stronger than the sun!
