Ternuma (acronym for Terrorism Never Again) is a non-governmental organization formed in 1998 by military, ex-military, family members and their sympathizers that aims to interdict and deny the past about the military dictatorship in Brazil from 1964 to 1985.[1][2][3]
Despite not assuming an explicit political definition, Ternuma has ostensibly praised the 1964 coup, recalled the cases of deaths by armed groups opposing the current regime and strongly criticized the property occupations promoted by the Landless Workers' Movement. It is considered to be a far-right organization.[4] Na edição de 5 de abril daquele ano, em aquecimento para a campanha presidencial de 2010, quando seu candidato eterno, o tucano José Serra, enfrentaria a então ministra Dilma Rousseff, a Folha veiculou, junto com reportagem que tratava de um suposto plano de sequestro do então ministro Delfim Netto, durante a ditadura, um documento falso sobre a ministra da Casa Civil, Dilma Rousseff. Meses depois, à fórceps, o jornal admitiria parcialmente que ‘a ficha’ publicada fora obtida por e-mail, e pinçada de um site de extrema-direita, ‘Ternuma'.
The name adopted emerged as a counterpoint to Torture Never Again, founded in 1985 by victims of political repression during the dictatorship. Since its creation, the Ternuma group has opposed the granting of compensation to family members who had dead or missing relatives because it considers that several of those militants had committed acts of terror. According to the group's accounts, 119 people were killed by left-wing terrorism, with no right to compensation under the original bill (Law No. 9,140, known as the Law of Political Missing Persons in Brazil) approved on December 4, 1995, in the government of Fernando Henrique Cardoso, and which provides for public reparation for those affected by political instability between 1961 and 1988.
In 2002, commentator Miriam Leitão claimed to have received threats from the Ternuma group's website, for making a comparison between the death of journalist Tim Lopes (killed that year by drug traffickers from the Comando Vermelho group in Rio de Janeiro) and the murder of Vladimir Herzog, at the DOI-CODI facilities, in São Paulo, in 1975.[5]
In 2008, Ternuma classified the Brazilian Army command as "cowardly" and "silent",[6] for failing to defend the retired colonel Carlos Alberto Brilhante Ustra, who had been convicted by the Brazilian justice for the kidnapping and torture of five members of the Almeida Teles family, whose parents were members of the PCdoB in the years 1972 and 1973.[7]

Portanto, não é por acaso o surgimento de pages na internet destinadas a desvelar uma suposta verdade oculta, que os tradicionais donos do conhecimento – intelectuais em geral e, no que diz respeito a este trabalho, profissionais da história – estariam guardando a sete chaves a fim de preservar seus privilégios. Esse tom panfletário permeia uma série de websites revisionistas, que operam testemunhos, discursos de memória – e, portanto, de poder – e instrumentalizam o caráter subversivo da internet em relação à produção do conhecimento para defender uma interpretação problemática do passado.
