Bolsonaro scandal puts Brazil on edge as farmers eye Amazon forests
A specter haunts the Brazilian elites. His name is Lula – the former president and for the past nine months one of the world’s most notorious political prisoners, given his enormous popularity and the controversy over his conviction and jailing.
Brazil, until recently a leader of the Global South, BRICS member and eighth largest economy in the world, remains on edge, after President Bolsonaro’s widely panned appearance at Davos, plus dramatic details about dangerous liaisons between the Bolsonaro clan and one of the most notorious criminal gangs in Rio, not to mention Saudi Arabia’s veto of Brazilian meat imports due to the new president’s promise to transfer the Brazilian embassy to Jerusalem.
Indigenous people of various ethnic groups call for demarcation of lands in Sao Paulo on 31 January 2019. People all over the world rallied against the policies of new Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
All that puts the spotlight on the strongman-in-waiting, vice president and retired general Hamilton Mourao.
For financiers and the powerful agribusiness lobby, which played a key role in his election, Bolsonaro is an embarrassment and expendable. Mourao has already said that the new Foreign Minister Ernesto Araujo – a mediocre low-level diplomat subservient to one of Bolsonaro’s sons – was not capable of formulating Brazil’s complex foreign policy.
Moreover, German Ambassador Georg Witschel, on a visit to Mourao, was keen to stress that not only Berlin but European Union officials in Brussels were upset to see Brazil led by someone with little respect for human rights, right in the middle of negotiations for a free-trade pact between the South American trade bloc Mercosur and the EU.
Speculation is rife in Sao Paulo – the financial capital of Latin America – that a slow motion “soft coup” may be underway to remove the new president. An explosive documentary is ready to be broadcast by the powerful Globo network showing, with the help of American specialists, that the “stabbing” suffered by Bolsonaro last September, during his presidential campaign, was actually a stunt.
This all points towards a familiar path: drawn-out negotiation between the military and the Globo media empire, which fiercely supported the 1964 coup, alongside Washington, which led to a 21-year military dictatorship. That has led to speculation on whether Mourao may emerge as president.
In such an event, pacification of the masses might even involve freeing Lula from jail to some form of house arrest, for the benefit of national reconciliation. But all this comes amid talk of more privatization of state entities.
So how did we come to this?
Out with the ‘communists’
General Mourao’s father was an important player in the 1964 coup. And his son Hamilton Mourao has always been a strong adversary of both presidents Lula and Dilma Rousseff. In 2017, he said it was about time for a new military coup. Immediately after the Bolsonaro-Mourao victory, he swore that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro would be toppled and Brazil would send a “peace” force. Bolsonaro was even forced to stress that Brasilia was not contemplating a war against Caracas.
The Brazilian military should be seen from a “Terrorism Never Again” angle. The Ternuma website states how “communists”, after the end of the military dictatorship in 1985, were turned from “criminals” into “heroes”, and from “terrorists” into “political idealists”, always hailed by the media. Brazilian “democracy” is dismissed as imposed, hostage to the “false politics of human rights”; and the homeless and the landless are duly criminalized.
This hatred of all strands of the Left mingles with the motto “Brazil above everything, God above all” – which happened to be Bolsonaro’s campaign mantra, appropriated from the Army’s Paratrooper Brigade. Both Bolsonaro and Mourao are former paratroopers.
Claudio Casali, a colonel, explained how the motto – resurgent in the past few years – was coined way back in 1968 by a group of nationalist paratroopers as the military dictatorship turned on the screws against the cultural sector and media.
The motto spread like wildfire in military quarters, all over again, during the first term of Dilma Rousseff, who was forced to appoint Lula’s extremely successful former Foreign Minister Celso Amorim, recently interviewed by Asia Times, as Defense Minister, in a bid to try to quench the political fire.
Even before Dilma’s reelection in late 2014, Bolsonaro visited the elite Agulhas Negras Military Academy, promising to “fix” Brazil. The whole chain of military command enthusiastically supported him.
Spotlight on Amazon forest
What the Brazilian military really think is self-evident at their website, strictly connected to a powerful group of generals – Augusto Heleno, Eduardo Villas-Boas, Sergio Etchegoyen and Mourao among them. The current commander of the Brazilian land forces is Etchegoyen’s godfather. This military elite conceptualizes how the Brazilian Army will be upgraded under the Bolsonaro government and even manages to turn the Hybrid War theory on its head, analyzing how “the communists” have profited from its techniques.
What happened was the rolling “coup” of 2016-18 in Brazil revealed itself to be the most sophisticated form of Hybrid War already deployed by right-wing judiciary-police-military and their financial, business and media allies, leading to the impeachment of President Dilma on flimsy charges and Lula jailed with no hard evidence of corruption.
Intellectual debate at Brazilian military academies predictably mirrors the US, including the re-appropriation of MOUT – Military Operations in Urbanized Terrain, as devised by the Rand Corporation – and as applied by President Macron’s NATO army against the Gilet Jaunes or Yellow Vests demonstrations in France.
Now we may be entering a new, dangerous phase of Hybrid War – as the Brazilian military interpret it. I discussed it extensively with one of Brazil’s top experts, war anthropologist Piero Leirner, a professor at the federal university of Sao Carlos. Leirner told me how the military actually believe they must “weaponize” farmers to fight a guerrilla alliance of the Workers’ Party and the PCC smuggling syndicate – an absolutely spurious notion.
The key latitude to watch is a region straight out of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, around Sao Gabriel da Cachoeira, on the northern shore of the Rio Negro (“Black River”), the third largest municipality in Brazil, and the second largest in the immense Amazonas state.
Picture a mighty surveillance tower enveloped by thick tropical jungle no less than 1,100 km from the state capital, Manaus. Crucially, the high Rio Negro area is very close to both the Colombian and Venezuelan borders. There’s a lonely Army brigade on the spot; not exactly the right stuff for an “invasion” of Venezuela. Moreover, the jungle is unforgiving – only aerial deployment is feasible.
And yet, for the military, this ultimate desolate frontier could be turned into a Brazilian Balkans. Why? Because it could involve clashes over forest land likely to spur conflict with the Yanomami indigenous people.
Leirner says the military appears to be laying the groundwork for the occupation of these virgin forests by powerful gaucho farmers from Brazil’s deep south – in tune with Bolsonaro’s campaign promises of opening the Amazon to hardcore agribusiness, to the horror of environmentalists worldwide. Mega asset managers BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard happen to be major shareholders in the top five agribusinesses already at work in the Amazon.
All boots on deck
Beyond the Amazon, the Brazilian military, in their South Atlantic geopolitical sphere of influence, will keep projecting power in the Andes, Africa and the Caribbean. General Heleno was deployed in Haiti as the commander of the UN peacekeeping forces. He was also the top Amazon rainforest commander.
Top generals have key ministerial posts in the Bolsonaro government. According to Leirner, no less than 20% of the top echelon is now fully employed. This Wednesday, General Villas-Boas was named as a special adviser to Heleno, the Minister of the Cabinet of Institutional Security, known by its acronym GSI. The GSI is the intel arm of the federal government. Heleno is Bolsonaro’s chief strategist.
Bolsonaro was never shy about defending the military dictatorship’s crimes, as well as extolling known torturers in Congress. His popularity and social media savvy made a huge impression among the top generals – who identified him as the perfect man to bring them back to power.
They knew Bolsonaro was extremely flawed – and that to be back in full control would be just a matter of time. Yet problems may arise from the fact that, as Leirner stresses, Mourao is just a technician, lacking Bolsonaro’s charismatic appeal.
The Brazilian military may exhibit different strands of nationalism, but they all converge on strong corporatism. The question is whether they will be able to overcome the trademark alienation and sub-imperial mentality of a former slave-owning colony which still hasn’t achieved the hegemonic conscience of its greatness as part of an emerging multipolar world.
Brilliant, as usual.
Also fascinating.
Not sure I understand this:
“The question is whether they will be able to overcome the trademark alienation and sub-imperial mentality of a former slave-owning colony which still hasn’t achieved the hegemonic conscience of its greatness as part of an emerging multipolar world.”
Does t his mean that the Brazilian population won’t have much enthusiasm for the generals’ continental hegemonic ambitions becuase they still identify as former slaves?
If they stop identifying that way, would they develop the “exceptionalism” notion that seems to drive the USA’s hegemons? Of course, the whole exceptionalism thing is just a pretext for land and resource grabbing and controlling all trade, etc.
Katherine
I don’t believe – and I also believe that this is what Pepe meant with the sentence – that the problem is the slave mentality but, rather, the slave-owner mentality, which dominates both the ruling classes and the middle classes in our country. On the one hand, the slave-owner believes he is allowed to do whatever they feel like and to (mis)treat anyone that is economically or politically inferior as it pleases them. On the other, they have an inferiority complex towards Europe and the US. This was very well described and analyzed by Darcy Ribeiro in “O Povo Brasileiro” (translated as “The Brazilian People”) with his idea of the first Brazilian as being the “mameluco” (I don’t know how this superb concept was translated into english, but I believe it could shed some light on other peoples situation, specially here, in South America).
Kind Regards
“Bolsonaro’s campaign promises of opening the Amazon to hardcore agribusiness, to the horror of environmentalists worldwide”
The world needs to learn that the Amazon belongs to Brazil and what they think in this matter is of no relevance. Global Warming is a crackpot globalist banking theory meant to further the ZioCon dominance of the world. So please forgive if I show no sympathy.
Destroying the Amazon would be a crime against Life on Earth. Even in the crude and greed-driven materialist pathopsychology of the capitalist parasite and the dullards of the Right, an intact forest and its living riches, are vastly more valuable in monetary terms than turning it into a savannah on which to raise cattle and grow soy, until the fertility crashes. It is amazing how closely greed and ignorant stupidity go together.
Freemon Sandlewould
To assert that the Amazon Rain Forest ‘belongs’ to Brazil or any human or group of humans is arrogance and hubris of the highest order.
It is the Earth’s most bio-diverse place, the cradle of life. It is sacrosanct; not subject to arbitrary notions of human ownership.
It is a part of the world not meant for our species, we humans needs to show some respect, Brazilian business being no exception.
It is disappointing to read certain people telling the rest of us what we can and cannot do. The fact of the matter is that neither of you have any right whatsoever to expect others to submit themselves and their interests to the satisfaction yours. They are not obligated to obey your subjective wants, desires and preferred ideology. So mind your own business. Leave the Brasilians alone. It is up to Brasilians to determine what they do in THEIR country, Brasil. Attend to your own back yard.
It’s not ‘Brazil’ at peril. It’s the entire world, and we do have a right to oppose greed-obsessed monsters destroying our world. In any case the Brazilian forests will be destroyed not to benefit Brazilians, but only to benefit a tiny group of elite parasites, Brazilian and non-Brazilian.
Brazilians are very sensitive about this subject.
We do not accept opinions with “belong to mankind ” or something similar in the middle of the sentence.
Amazon forest belongs to Brazil. The end of the florest will be what the Brazilian people divides. Deal with it!
We appreciate your concern with YOUR well being since your country already chopped down something close to 100% of your tress 100 years ago but if you want to be heard by the ones that own it, I recommend you find another line to argue with.
Monalisa belongs to mankind, ;), and i do need to pay just to watch it.
Are you suggesting that we could charge you? Are you willing to pay?
Just a clue to set your head straight.
The true voice of capitalistic fascism. What you really mean is that the Amazon forest belongs to the rich. The indigenous and poor settlers etc will be exterminated so that Zico’s heroes, the big miners, agricultural interests and cattle ranchers, foreign and Brazilian, can rape the forest for profit, for themselves only. The riches plundered in this rapine will NEVER flow to the 90% of Brazilians, but be secreted in US and EU banks and other off-shore bolt-holes. And the destruction of Life on Earth, the Right’s one true, not so secret, religion, will advance that much more rapidly.
What are you talking about?
Stating that the Brazilian people will decide with to do with the forest does not mean that we are willing to chop it down.
All the small plunder happening right now is not people with money. Nothing is authorized by the state, so what happens is low scale and criminal.
There are no mining there. There are no projects going on. There are no one asking authorization to projects.
removed
Like I said before, this is not a subject to you.
I won’t tell you what to do to your land and you don’t tell what to do to mine. Works for me.
But I do recommend that you plant a tree so your society could recover!
That’s the real reason the mankind is where it is right now, your father chopped a tree…plant some and make a difference instead of tell people what to do with their land.
No attacking each other. Please close this conversation down. Mod.
Bem…quem leu “discurso da servidão voluntária”, do escritor francês Etienne de La Boétie, como provavelmente Pepe Escobar, ou mesmo a análise da professora Marilena Chauí, “a tirania não é ato de força ou violência de um homem ou de um bando de homens, mas nasce do desejo de servir e é o povo que gera seu próprio infortúnio, cúmplice dos tiranos” (Marilena Chauí), ou mesmo Henry D. Thoreau, compreende bem a questão posta…
É bem verdade… Contudo, há que avaliar o que nessa servidão voluntária nasce da manipulação mediática e da manutenção da educação e do saber nas mãos de uma elite corrupta e sanguinária.
Escrevo de Portugal e há uma questão que me não deixa de espantar: não há expatriado português no Brasil que, após juntar uns trocados, se não identifique com a elite mais retrógada, reacccionária e racista brasileira. Aqueles – esses portugueses – que no seu país eram explorados pela sua própria elite, tornam-se exploradores e/ou admiradores e fiéis seguidores de exploradores no seu país de adopção.
A lição que devemos tirar do caso brasileiro (e do venezuelano, não esqueçamos) é a de que os métodos democráticos da esquerda falharão na manutenção do poder e na prossecução das mudanças sociais que se impõem enquanto o poder económico-mediático continuar nas mãos de uma elite corrupta, absentista e, em última análise, assassina do seu próprio povo. Sem a nacionalização das grandes empresas e das grandes estações televisivas não há progresso para o povo. E já se viu – infelizmente se viu – que a coisa não vai lá com meios pacíficos.
” Sem a nacionalização das grandes empresas e das grandes estações televisivas não há progresso para o povo.”
I COMPLETELY agree with you. Years years ago I did not understand this but Today it is very obvious that this is the ONLY way out.
Lol, please, it’s worse than you think.
According with the actual Brazillian Constitution, you cant differentiate Brazil capital from foreign capital.
That’s why in the letter of the BR law, Brazil do own 20 plus automobiles factories. Ford do Brasil, GM do Brasil, etc are all Brazillian companies.
We do need another Constitutional Assembly.

I think that Pepe was stating that Brazil in some aspects is still living in the past. Perhaps this applies to all South American countries. Brazil is a member of the BRICS, at least on paper. The Russians and Chinese created the BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Zone and the Eurasian Economic Union. The last two will certainly stay and prosper, becoming powerful economic and political blocks. However, I always wondered if the BRICS was more of an experiment than reality, bearing in mind the problems some of it’s member states have, like South Africa, which has instigated reverse racism, appropriating all the land owned by white farmers, with the result that this once food exporting country is becoming a food importing country. It would appear that Eurasia is the future political and economic power house, joined by others. We shall see if the BRICS can survive in it’s present form.
Maybe the confusijng part is the phrase “*hegemonic* greatness.”
Must all greatness be hegemonic? Surely Pepe doesn’t think that. Or, does “hegemonic” mean something different in this context?
Katherine
The distribution of wealth in South Africa is probably worse now than under apartheid, thanks to the sell-out of the ANC to the global powers-that-be. Of course poor whites have also suffered, but ‘reverse racism’ is, I fear, garbage. As for redistributing the land stolen by white authorities from the native peoples-that is only justice. The restitution of stolen property.
Mulga Mumblebrain
When the Boers arrived in South Africa in the 17th century, they settled in coastal regions, which were uninhabited. They introduced farming, which the native population did not practice. The result ? Africans from the north came to the south. The Boer presence in fact increased the size of the African population. As for reverse racism, I am afraid it does exist. How many white farmers have been murdered ?
Something interesting to consider. In a population of people you will find that there is a tiny minority which does half the productive work and is responsible for half the productive output. The number of that minority is readily calculated. It is the square root of the total population.
So, the larger the population gets the larger the number of people in the minority high-work, high-productive group in absolute terms. On the other hand the larger the population gets the smaller percentage the high-work, high-productive group gets. Also, the larger a population gets the more it relies on that minority (which in percentage terms gets tinier and tinier, while supporting more and ever more of the growing majority). This is not a stable situation ultimately and it presents a problem which is not solvable by the imposition of such nonsenses as socialism (of any flavour) or of communism.
Turning now to the specifics of South Africa. What can be expected there? Count on the decimation and even the extermination of the Boers as a shocking expressions of a furious and terrible anti-white racism and violence. Lots and lots of suffering to come. Then, assuming the total population is not to completely crater, expect a replacement minority of high-work, high-productive people to arrive on the scene. They will be wise enough to take control (including political) one way or another. Best guess would be for this group to be Chinese….
“the global powers-that-be”
Then they will appear the moment large money begins to be made.
I tried to figure out what Pepe meant by that too! hahahahaha!
it seems funny, comedy, hardly sensible. Pepe could not possibly be saying anything of great value and insight in that there mash
what is a trademark alienation? something like trademark alienation(s) actually happens, exists?
makes little to no sense it seems: to the extent that is that legible at all?
is there a specific type of alienation associated with Brazil-type societies that may be considered usual, recurring and/or on-going?
“Sub-imperial mentality of a former slave-owing colony” seems slightly more legible given the pretensions we have seen of the Brazilian half white, part white elites, who appear to have big dreams, led by their generals..who along with their corporate sponsors, their 200+ millions, do have potential to become a very uncomfortable presence for their smaller neighbors.
regional Brazilian hegemonic conscience led by Brazilian generals for the Brazilian corporate interests and whatever plus regional interests attached for the profit ride, could turn out to be a rite huge pain in the arse for the exploited citizens of Brazil, again co-opted for others profit, and for Latin America as a whole
hegemonic conscience or awareness of its greatness..seems facetious from Pepe..especially as part of an emerging multi-polarity. what kind and quality of multi-polar world that would be?
Pepe must have been tired when he wrote that, trying to finish up to meet deadlines I guess.. so he mashed it all in there, hoping something useful would crystallize
”Moreover, German Ambassador Georg Witschel, on a visit to Mourao, was keen to stress that not only Berlin but European Union officials in Brussels were upset to see Brazil led by someone with little respect for human rights, right in the middle of negotiations for a free-trade pact between the South American trade bloc Mercosur and the EU.”
One can readily imagine the refined amusement on the part of fascist Brazilian reactionaries hearing such ’concerns’ coming from the EU of all places. Next time, Witschel might be greeted by something like:
Witschel, Witschel, Witschel
Komm ein bischen, bischen, bischen
Du bist ehrlich
Und sehr gefährlich
Since when have EU politicians and bureaucrats given a toss about human rights? Apart from their standard hypocritical rhetorical flicks, flourishes and grandstanding they generally ignore human rights, especially in their own backyards. A gentle slap across that man’s face with a rotten fish would have been the appropriate response. Perhaps during the next “negotiating” session…….
The pot cooks a very complex stew Pepe manages to stir but more parsing of the ingredients is needed so one can anticipate what sort of flavor will emerge. It appears a short novella is required to properly set the table.
To properly understand Brazil you don’t need a novel, you need a whole library. It’s a very complex country. Most brazilians can barely understand it, militaries included.
I must disagree with Pepe: there are no nationalists left among the Brazilian military. They were all purged after the 1964 coup. There are only “entreguistas” (entreguista = someone who would sell the country for the international plutocracy, like Guaido in Venezuela).
And all trained by the USA in the School of the Americas among other fascist factories. ‘National Security’ doctrine with total subservience to the Boss of Bosses in Thanatopolis DC explains the behaviour of these thugs. No doubt it is also personally lucrative. Here in Austfailia the ruling regime has a number of former military members of Parliament, all fascistic, belligerent, ferociously groveling to the USA and Israel, and a number religious fanatics of the Bolsanaro type.
Thanks for posting this interesting essay.
The 3 paragraphs are the meat of this long beautiful article
“Mega asset managers BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard happen to be major shareholders in the top five agribusinesses already at work in the Amazon.”
BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard are the real World Power
“For financiers and the powerful agribusiness lobby, which played a key role in his election, Bolsonaro is an embarrassment and expendable. Mourao has already said that the new Foreign Minister Ernesto Araujo – a mediocre low-level diplomat subservient to one of Bolsonaro’s sons – was not capable of formulating Brazil’s complex foreign policy.”
“General Mourao’s father was an important player in the 1964 coup. And his son Hamilton Mourao has always been a strong adversary of both presidents Lula and Dilma Rousseff. In 2017, he said it was about time for a new military coup. Immediately after the Bolsonaro-Mourao victory, he swore that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro would be toppled and Brazil would send a “peace” force. Bolsonaro was even forced to stress that Brasilia was not contemplating a war against Caracas.”
I’m sure the Rothchild’s house nigger/generals in Brasil will do an excellent job licking their master’s boots.

Of course, this tactical victory will result in blowback for the AZ Empire when the rentier class cannibalizes Brasilian society.
A specter haunts the Brazilian elites. His name is Lula – the former president and for the past nine months one of the world’s most notorious political prisoners.
I stopped at the “Political prisoner”………
Allergic to the truth, are you?
There is a problem in the Brazilian left thinking that helps the deep state in its agenda to South America.
They think all Military Army from South America respond to the deep state.
This mistake comes from a misreading of a historic fact in Brazil, the coup of 1964.
Because of this mistake Pepe put in the same list freemasons and nationalists from the army. He do it because he is not capable to differentiate between them, again, because of his misread of history.
He also fall in the deep state fairytale of the Indian population question.
Deep State is the ONLY force that push forward the Indial agenda in Brazil. They, and the most lost minds in the left.
Let’s clarify this subject, 14% of Brazillian territory today belongs to 500.000 people. We are talking about an area of 1.200.000 square Km. 2x the size of France or Ukraine.
The today goal is donate “Belgium” to 300 people.
Enough!
Every single person that talks about the Indian question in Brazil belong to the deep state or is absolutely lost.
About the established Indian land and its defense…Grow up, be a man, get a gun and go defend your woman!
Indians cant get arrested in Brazil! So, KILL THE INVASORS!
I’m sorry but,… enough of helping the deep state in Brazil.
Brazil almost lost the north border, guess with who…. England, France and Hollande.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_territory_(Brazil)
This question helps you to identify in the army the ones responding to the Freemasons.
His source about the Army plan to militarize farmers is ridiculous. Again he fail to identify the real planners that are Freemasons Infiltrated in the army.
And , this is the plan B, plan A just failed couple years ago.
Plan A was a criminal organization from Sao Paulo, State dominated by neoliberal politicians called PCC.
They do have ties with PSDB, political party that rule Bolsonaro Government behind the curtain.
(As you can see , just like a regular deep state plan outside Brazil, they accuse others of doing what they do. The criminal organization respond to CIA)
This organization tried to expand to the entire country and fail because the reaction of the Red Command, a criminal organization that was the result of interactions between Communists and drug dealers in the 70s.
This plan of farmers getting guns against a communist movement is ridiculous because this movement is a huge failure. No one will bought it except that 5% of regular low IQ people.
The only agenda to the forces not controlled by the deep state on their country is get together with their military since you cant control the country without them.
The agribusiness lost the election. They had a candidate and according to this article, they are the government. Please… cant you see this is a deep state initiative to devide Brazil. Not now but in a couple decades.
There are no expansions because the agribusiness do not need the land. We still do not use all the land south.
The Indians, expansions, Yanomami, Borders, Venezuela, Colombia…all in the very same article.
% and the plan is England, France and Hollande , which Brazil do have BORDERS , NATO… send troops to protect Yanomami from whatever.
This is not the ARMY plan,…
This is a freemason plan! And Pepe is falling for it. He can’t see…because he is blind by history!
Brazil won t be devided! There will be war!!!
Zico, can you please point to me some truly nationalist military group in Brazil? Not any isolated individual, as they certainly do exist, but some organized group that actually has some power to act? Because I don’t know any group like that here in Brazil. The nationalists were all purged after the “entreguistas” victory in 1964.
Also, can you please explain why indians can’t get arrested in Brazil? As far as I know they are not only arrested, but even exterminated by the right wing militias.
There is no group. They simply cannot compete against CIA resources.
That’s why they always stay low.
From the Pepe’s list, for example, General Villas Boas is not from that group for sure because I saw him get intimidated live on TV by Rede Globo. He do not respond to them.
Etchegoyen is a traitor just like Mourao.
“The nationalists were all purged after the “entreguistas” victory in 1964.”
That’s exactly the historical fact described wrong in history that I was referring in the post.
Did they get defeated?
They are being NOW because of blindness of the non aligned political side.
The left refuses to reevaluate the history it tells. And that’s the source of the defeat, not something planned by freemasons , deep state or whatever you call them.
1964 The Coup
3 version s in history
1-The Nationalist, replaced by the left, say it was a military coup. Just like other SA countries…
2-The CIA side said it was no coup.
3-AND some military said it was a coup inside a coup.
This last version was hided by the media. It was what really happened!
CIA made a move, using, lol, 200 soldiers marching against the President 3.000km away from him.
After that, the President fled the country to Uruguay saying it was to avoid a war. War of who against who?!!
The Military took power but NOT the one chooses by the CIA. No one took power during an entire year.
50 years later we knew but the fact was hidden and they did not revised the History and keep ignoring its repercussions.
50 years later we now know that an aircraft carrier from USA was about to star to drop FREEDOM from the skies.
With this new fact revealed later, read history again and make your decision about who was telling the truth.
Today, not a single one of those traitors In the army controls any troop. They are just for show!
So, the generation from that time refuses to admit they were wrong. And the media keeps it shout just like it did not happen.
I have an uncle that by accident was the president of the communist party in Brazil during the Ditadura. An intellectual, lived in Moscow (of course), Paris, London etc. IQ above the media but refuses to rethink history.
It’s a generation problem! They refuse!
About the group, there is no group. They just know who the traitors are. If you are not one, you are from the group that do not exist.
Zico, so what is your prognoses for Brazil. What do you see happening in the near future ?
“They think all Military Army from South America respond to the deep state.”
Are you saying that the Brazilian Military is a wild card ? May/will resist the Deep State of the West ?
I cant guess.
Brazil will never seek confrontation.
The military are being blackmailed right now with a reform in pensions.
I think it’s about Venezuela but…not a single chance.
This is just a show to the controller, the CIA. They are pushing buttons but the outcome is already known.
They simply cant! It’s not a matter of willingness.
That’s why they fake being controlled. The non aligned side prefer this way.
Here 2 faces is a quality!
Despite the friendly look, the regular people of Brazil hides a sleeping hate for everything foreign and this country, despite being catholic, is the place in earth where an life worth the lowest price.
The future is open.
Like I said before here the target in Brazil is Brazil itself. There are some companies here and oil.
They will control the country for 4 to 8 years and we will be back to normal again.
Their only goal is broke the country bad!
I’m just sad by the opportunity lost by Lula, a guy with almost 90% of approving rates that did nothing to truly transform the country.
Without the military is impossible. And…
Somehow the same problem of Venezuela, lack of brains because the left here has a problem with the elites, where all the brains are.
You cant make a working government just with low level people.
That was the problem…and CIA ;)
