I think this is relevant, Faggots.
An anon I'm going to call 1861Anon has been posting for a few breads.
I decided to do some fact-checking on one of his offerings for the current bread, and struck gold, I think:

Note the heart symbolism
>Viva Rio
>Viva Rio, a nongovernmental organization based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was founded in December 1993 to combat the growing violence in the city. The organization has expanded into a multinational organization with a goal “to promote a culture of peace and social development through field work, research and formulation of public policies”.[1] Its mission statement is “to integrate a divided society and develop a culture of peace, integrating with civil society and public policies, working at grassroots and internationally through: designing and testing solutions to social problems, consultancies, advocacy, training, campaigns, communication”.
Details on creation:
>Viva Rio was founded in December 1993 as a reaction to the city of Rio de Janeiro’s increase in the number of violent crimes committed. In 1993, according to the US State Department, extrajudicial killings of criminal suspects and minors by vigilante groups were the principle human rights problem in Brazil. The July 23, 1993, Candelaria Massacre, and the August 31, 1993, Vigário Geral massacre were two events that led leaders from different sectors of society, including those of the media, cultural groups, and merchants to gather at general meetings throughout the month of September.
A grass-roots organisation founded spontaneously in response to a high-profile atrocity. Wherehave we seen that before?
>One of Viva Rio's most prominent campaigns is Rio Desarma-se (Rio Disarm yourself), aimed at reducing the number of arms that are in the possession of civilians rather than government or law enforcement personnel.
They're not even trying to hide it.
>From Viva Rio’s work with gun control, the organization has expanded its network and areas of operation to include work in human rights, education, sports, environment and community development.
More of the usual.
Haiti:
>In 2004, Viva Rio became a consultant to the United Nations Development Program’s Peacekeeping operation in Haiti. … Viva Rio has established itself in the capital city of Port-au-Prince and has engaged local residents through various social programs. Between 2004 and 2010 Viva Rio has coordinated, with the help of the local population, various social projects. These projects include the following: the purification and distribution of potable water; providing basic sanitation by installing latrines and waste management systems; and the establishment of a sports campaign aimed at keeping kids from gang violence.
I bet all those sanitation projects definitely did as advertised. And those sports programs were surely great for the paedos - I mean kids.
>The January 2010 earthquake temporarily halted such projects. As a result, Viva Rio focused its efforts on mobilizing disaster relief. Throughout Brazil, charity events, such as Benex Festival in Rio de Janeiro, which gathered 13 tons of nonperishable goods in 2 days,[15] have provided Haitians with basic necessities.

Yarp.
There seems to be more.
For now, though, I'll sign of with some pure paranoia.
