https://twitter.com/LexCosta90/status/1093186752993525761 << This twitter thread goes through the confusion over the details of Sabrina Bittencourt's death and the death threats against her ever since she helped to expose Joao de Deus.
And there's this:
The psychologist Aparecida Alves said Sabrina sought her on the morning of her death. Sabrina wanted Alves to put her in touch with someone who could investigate allegations that João de Deus offered homes built under the "My Home, My Life" program to silence his victims.
"My Home, My Life" is a federal government program established under Lula. It focuses on ensuring more Brazilians can buy their first house. For years, it's been alleged that the program was used for fraudulent means, including buying of votes.
If Sabrina's suspicions were true, that would mean government officials were involved with João de Deus' reign of horror.
On the day of her death, Sabrina was still fighting to expose abuse and corruption.
What happened?

The activist helped unmask John of God at the end of last year when she gathered dozens of victims of sexual abuse. She forwarded the reports to the Goiás Public Ministry and the Civil Police. Under pressure from people attached to the religious, imprisoned in Goiás, Bittencourt denounced the threats he suffered, which caused her to leave Brazil.
Accustomed to collecting the pain of violence in Goiânia, the psychologist Aparecida Alves was sought by Bittencourt in the morning of what would be the last Saturday of life of the militant. She asked for Alves's help to contact someone who could investigate cases in which the medium would have used homes from the "Minha Casa Minha Vida" program to silence victims. In the conversation to which ÉPOCA had access, Bittencourt wanted the list of owners of the houses in Itapaci, in the interior of Goiás. According to her, a witness would have said that the medium donated houses for its victims so that they did not denounce it.
The My Home, My Life program http://www.brasildamudanca.com.br/en/minha-casa-minha-vida/my-home-my-life
Do you remember when the dream of owning a home was really just a dream? Well, with Lula and Dilma it is coming true, thanks to the largest housing program in Brazil’s history. Considered by the UN "an example for the world," My House, My Life already has contracted construction of 3.4 million homes and apartments across the country, of which 1.7 million have been delivered, to the benefit of some 6.8 million Brazilians — the equivalent of the entire population of Brazil’s second largest city (Rio de Janeiro).
Lula Institute https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instituto_Lula (using Google translator..)
The Lula Institute of Political Studies is a non-profit and non-profit foundation dedicated to international cooperation between Brazil, Africa and other Latin American countries. His name honors former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva who is also its president of honor.
On May 9, 2017, the federal court ordered the suspension of the activities of the Lula Institute. The magistrate justified that even if the Lula Institute develops projects of a social nature, there are "vehement" indications of "criminal offenses" that may have been initiated or instigated at the headquarters of the institute, located in São Paulo. Revenue experts challenged donations from two non-profit entities that together earmarked R $ 1.5 million to the institute between 2013 and 2014. The Treasury concluded that there was a misuse of purpose in the period under investigation.
UN accepts petition stating Brazil judge violated Lula’s rights https://clubofmozambique.com/news/un-accepts-petition-stating-brazil-judge-violated-lulas-rights/
The U.N. accepted a petition from lawyers of former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva claiming that the judge overseeing the Petrobras corruption case had violated Lula da Silva’s rights by charging him with the same allegations several times and detaining him arbitrarily without any evidence.
I'll bet they did...
The United Nations Human Rights Committee agreed to investigate the allegations that Judge Sergio Moro had “violated Lula’s right to privacy, his right not to be detained arbitrarily and his presumption of innocence.”
Lula da Silva said in his request that the case was “highly political” and the result of “a series of arbitrary violations of rights,” including the illegal searching of his home, as well as his children’s homes and the Lula Institute. The attorneys also added that the judge abused his position and leaked confidential information to the press, disclosed recordings obtained illegally and used temporary detention of key suspects in order to reach an agreement that would affect Lula.
I have a question- who does the UN have to answer to??
More about President Lula, involved in the biggest Brazilian scandal : Operation Car Wash: Is this the biggest corruption scandal in history?
What began as an investigation into money laundering quickly turned into something much greater, uncovering a vast and intricate web of political and corporate racketeering.
On 14 January 2015, police agent Newton Ishii was waiting in Rio de Janeiro’s Galeão airport to meet the midnight flight from London. His mission was simple. A former executive of Brazil’s national oil company, Petrobras, was on the plane. Ishii was to arrest him as soon as he set foot in Brazil and take him for questioning by detectives.
No big deal, the veteran cop thought as he ticked off the hours in the shabby Terminal One lounge. This was just one of many anti-bribery operations he had worked on. Usually they made a few headlines, then faded away, leaving the perpetrators to carry on as if nothing had happened. There was a popular expression for this: acabou em pizza (to end up with pizza), which suggested that there was no political row that could not be settled over a meal and a few beers...
Petrobras was also at the centre of Brazil’s politics. During the 2003-2010 presidency of the Workers’ Party leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (known as Lula), executive posts in Petrobras were offered to Lula’s political allies, to help build support in Congress. Petrobras’s commercial and strategic importance was such that the US National Security Agency made it a target for surveillance. As the Car Wash investigation was to prove, if you could unravel the secrets of this company, you would unravel the secrets of the state.
The web of corruption has been traced far beyond Brazil’s borders. Odebrecht had a department dedicated to bribes, known as the Division of Structured Operations, which laid out close to $800m in illicit pay-offs for more than 100 contracts in a dozen countries over 15 years. Dozens of foreign corporate suppliers (of engineering equipment, power lines, drilling rigs and so forth) also face regulatory and shareholder inquiries about the bribes they paid to secure contracts with Petrobras. Among them was Rolls-Royce, which posted hefty losses as a result of penalties imposed in January this year by Brazilian, UK and US authorities. The World Cup and Olympics have also been sucked into the mire with fraud investigations now focused on six out of the 12 stadiums used in 2014 and 2016.
I think this baby trafficking ring goes very, very far.

I've just had a look at @AppliedAspergers's video in this post: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/3027091 which inspired me to have a look at the location of the UN in New York. There's another post to be done re tunnels, similar to this post https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/3020019
@think- you know who's going to freak out, right ;-)
