One week before the second round of voting in Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, the extreme right-wing candidate from the Social Liberal Party (PSL), against Fernando Haddad from the Worker’s Party (PT), Lula’s Party, for Brazil’s Presidential run-off elections – Bolsonaro leads to polls by double digits, about 58 against 42. And the gap is growing, despite the fact that as recent as end of September 2018, Brazilian women campaigned massively against Bolsonaro with the hashtag #EleNao (Not Him). His misogynist record left him with only 27% of women supporters only a couple of weeks ago. Massive cheat-and lie-propaganda increased that ratio by now to 42%. – Does anybody seriously believe that Bolsonaro has changed his racist character and his women-degrading attitude? – It is mind-boggling how people fall for propaganda lies and manipulations.
The usual propaganda of deceit from the right has infiltrated every election in the last 5-10 years, starting with the sophisticated internet and propaganda fraud invented by Oxford Analytica (OA), which is largely believed having brought Trump to the White House, Macri to the Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires, Macron to the Elysée in Paris and Mme. Merkel for the fourth time to the German Federal Chanceller’s office in Berlin – among others. OA is also said having helped the BREXIT supporters. In the meantime, OA’s dirty election manipulation methods have been mainstreamed to the mainstream media – with lots and lots of corporate and banking money.
In fact, the frontrunner Bolsonaro is currently being accused by his opponent Fernando Haddad, of a ‘fraud and fake news’ campaign, and that just a few days before the run-off. The charge is that Bolsonaro is running a multi-million-dollar defamation campaign against Haddad, via whatsapp and other social media. This means sending out literally millions of tailor-made messages to potential groups of voters. That’s the way of the of OA’s algorithms.
According to RT, Haddad told a media conference in Rio, “We have identified a campaign of slander and defamation via WhatsApp and, given the mass of messages, we know that there was dirty money behind it, because it wasn’t registered with the Supreme Electoral Tribunal.” This, after the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper uncovered a suspected election fraud. The publication alleges that a group of entrepreneurs are backing a multi-million-dollar slander campaign that would use several popular social media apps to reach out to Haddad supporters and smear his name with ‘fake news’.
We can only hope that the discovery of this slander and fraud may not be too late to stop Bolsonaro’s end run – and to inform voters. Leading to an indictment of Bolsonaro is hardly a realistic chance, as he is supported by the current corrupt and fascist-type Temer Government and all the high judges who have impeded Lula’s legitimate request for running for Presidency. Only voters’ consciousness may make a difference.
Imagine what happens, if Bolsonaro is elected? – It is hardly fathomable. Bolsonaro has already declared that if elected he will render full power to the military. “When I’m elected, those who will command are the (military) captains”. His word – in Portuguese.
He is a fascist no doubt. There were other fascist military governments in Brazil, like Getúlio Vargas, who reigned from 1930-1945 as a military dictator mostly by decree. He abrogated the 1891 Constitution and introduced a new one in 1934 which was overturned, when finally, in 1945 Vargas was deposed and a new democratization process began with a new Constitution being introduced in 1946. But that was not all for fascism and military dictatorship in Brazil. There was more to come in the decades preceding Lula.
Another brutal military government came to power in 1964 by a coup d’état by the Armed Forces. It ruled Brazil from 1 April 1964 to 15 March 1985 by President Joao Goulart. It came to an end when José Sarney took office on 15 March 1985. What’s important to know is that both the Vargas coup of 1930, as well as the 1964 military coup were supported by the US Embassy in Brazil and the State Department in Washington. Mr. Bolsonaro has already today – after the first election round – the full support of Washington. He was immediately congratulated by the Trump government after the October 7 election result were known.
If no miracle happens within the coming week, Brazil may be slanted to go back some 90 years, into a fierce military dictatorship. Worse, today with the neoliberal doctrine being the overarching last word on economic policies, also for the military. We are looking at full privatization of everything, of social services, water and health privatization has already begun; basic and profitable infrastructure, natural resources – and the IMF, World Bank, FED-Wall Street indebtment is already well under way and its future programmed, including a devastating austerity program which under unelected Mr. Corrupt Temer has already started.
In fact, economic disaster in terms of dependence on IMF, WB and the FED, may also loom under Haddad, who has already said he would work with the financial fiefdom of Washington. As Luiz Inacio Lula did, when he was elected in 2002. He was the “golden example boy” for the IMF, following strictly the rules he was taught would bring progress to his country. Later he realized what was actually going on within the financial sector of Brazil. He corrected some of the aberrations, but many stayed in place throughout Dilma Rousseff’s Presidency.
Brazil could become South America’s Greece – just multiplied by a factor of 100.
Just imagine the political and economic impact this would have on the Latin American region. Brazil is by far the largest economy of Latin America with a GDP of about 2.1 trillion US-dollars in 2017, a population of 210 million and a landmass 8.516 million km2 – and with the world’s largest known fresh water reserves. Trade without Brazil is unthinkable for Latin America and the world. Plus, a Bolsonaro regime would have full ideological and military support from Washington. In fact – Brazil may soon become the second South American NATO country after Colombia.
How would Venezuela feel, surrounded by two fierce militarized NATO countries? – Washington could just smile and watch, while Colombia and Brazil – and their NATO command – would do the rest. Or would they? – Venezuela is on the best way to detach herself from the dollar hegemony and ally with the East. And that not only in trade, but also in huge investments from China and Russia. Invading Venezuela would not be easy, despite NATO from the east and from the west and with the empire just across the Caribbean.
Back to Bolsonaro. It will not be as easy to thrash this fascist military doctrine, of a President, hitherto hardly known to the outside world, down the average Brazilians’ throats. Their vote and mind may be manipulated, but once they wake up – the election may be past, and the Temer policies implemented by factors of ten – social suffering will increase, à la Greece – people may simply not take it.
They will realize that this entire propaganda farce serves only a few Brazilian oligarchs, but mostly the transnational corporations and banks. – Will they take to the streets? Demand another government, fight for their rights? Brazilians are not (yet) the kind to double up and shut up, as the Greeks had to do, weakened by a Government of treason, by an absence of medical and other social services and by a low-low moral that is reflected in an exponentially rising suicide rate, according to the British Lancet. Brazilians may have learned a lesson.
Brazil and the BRICS. Already under Temer, Brazil’s role in the BRICS was merely anecdotal. It was clear that politically Brazil would and could no longer adhere to the principles that was behind the BRICS association, namely economic independence from the debt masters IMF, World Bank and FED. – What with Bolsonaro? – It would behoove the BRICS expulsing Brazil; sending Brazilians a warning now, before the run-off elections, that no fascist government could be admitted within the ranks of the BRICS. Fascism is the absolute antidote to the new alliances of SCO, BRICS, EEU, and newly the Caspian Sea Alliance (Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia and Turkmenistan).
But – and this is highly important – let’s not let it get out of hand. Let not Bolsonaro being elected this coming Sunday. Make the right choice now. Regardless what you are being manipulated to believe. Stand up Brazilians, Women and men – say #NAO Bolsonaro!

Koenig shows complete, total ignorance about Brazil’s relation with the IMF, in fact we have zero debt and 300 billion dollars in foreign currency reserve as well as regular surpluses in the balance of trade . I don’t doubt his intentions are the best, but he could do a little homework lest he utterly misleads the reader.
According to : https://tradingeconomics.com/brazil/external-debt
present Brazil external debt is at 600 billion USD.
Looks more than “zero debt” to me.
Read exactly what is written in there, not 600 billion.
It says:
“660146.01 USD Million in the second quarter of 2018”,
which means 660 BILLIONS (I was low by 10% sorry)
in US terminology where 1 billion = 1,000 millions.
(In UK parlance it wold by 0.6 billion)
This info is outdated.
It is 750 billion I’d dollars since it increased 15% in 2017.
There are several articles saying about the HUGE problem it is BUT:
It is 33% of the GDP.
Absolutely on control. It’s not a problem at all.
Again, but, they’ll say it it is a problem….and you do have to hold spends AND sell Petrobras to pay it.
Do you get where the problem came from?
They just want the oil…
You are allowed to be believe whatever you want, I have no intention at all to oblige you to trust me! Stick to your sources and your numbers and live your happy life forever! Good luck!
I think there has been a misunderstanding about the nature of the debt I was refering to, it’s not the internal but the foreign debt, which was fully paid by Lula. As regards federal internal debt, PT governments reduced it from 52 percent of GDP to 38 percent. Any comparison with Greece is simply insane.
Lula paid the IMF loan so he could kick foreigners from giving opinions about his budget.
Every country has foreign debt. It’s impossible to function without it.
In another instance Brazil is a big owner of USA bonds. That means USA own Brazil big money.
What is important is, the BR debt own by foreigners total 33% of BR GDP(PIB).
Also, this foreign debt englobe Federal Government, States, Cities and private companies.
Again, the total is 33% of GDP and because is this TINY, those 750 billion of US dollars shoud NOT claim that much attention.
Great article, but please correct this sentence,
“Another brutal military government came to power in 1964 by a coup d’état by the Armed Forces. It ruled Brazil from 1 April 1964 to 15 March 1985 by President Joao Goulart.
Peter, si tacuisses!
Have you any idea what it’s like to live in Brazil nowadays? Have you any idea how fed up Brazilians are with decades of bourgeouis and leftist governments, all proven equally corrupt?
Apparently not, otherwise you would muster some trifle kind of understanding for their impossibility to again vote someone in power who is affiliated with the PT (or PSDB, MDB etc. for that matter), and who does regular pilgramages to poor political prisoner Lula in Curitiba.
Yes, Bolsonaro it will be. Not good or desirable, but the signs of the times, and utterly logical.
And differently from 1930 or 1964, not the result of a coup.
You may call it “[d]er fürchterliche Fatalismus der Geschichte” , as Georg Büchner would, referring to the French revolution and its convulsions.
But no, this election is not the result of the meddling of sinister foreign powers. It is the reflection of the true will of the poeple, for a change, as hard to understand it may seem from the outside.
Replying to myself, and adding some further thoughts:
We must not forget that Brazilians have some (innate?) tendency towards authoritarianism. That may seem an outrageous thing to say for us modern liberal Westerners, with our lofty ideals. But they in fact never rebel. If they are fed up now, you can be sure they have been given every reason to puke.
Also remember how large part of Brazi’s worker class ended up loving Getúlio Vargas, so much so that they voted him in office when they had a chance to, after (!) many years under his (soft-fascist) rule. And I would would surmise they also preferred the years under Geisel and Castelo Branco to the chaos under Goulart and the utter, obvious curruption under Kubitschek.
For me, looking at Brazil is just seeing a pendulum swing. Nothing more, nothing less.
There’s no such thing as “innate Brazilian tendency towards authoritarianism”, you made that up. The Geisel government was hated, way more than Goulart’s or JK’s. When the 1964 coup happened, the brazilian ruling class tried to fabricate some kind of popular support for the military government, but there were supressed polls that showed that Goulart actually had the majority of the popular support. And, despite being a dictator, Vargas was loved by the working class because he was a true nationalist and an enemy of the Empire (he killed himself in 1954 to avoid a coup patrocinated by the USA). Vargas was the polar opposite of Bolsonaro, they don’t mix. Please, stop trying to rewrite brazilian history and stick to the facts.
D.C. is absolutely right. This article is very poor in Brazilian history…
As a Brazilian I must say your analysis is just perfect
Lula in jail without any proof.
Dilma Rousseff impeached for “crimes” that are likely just a few percent of “crimes” of other politicians
if they were real.
Definitely Bolsonaro in “not the result of a coup”.
Are you aware that Lula would have won the elections If he could participate? Are you aware that there was a coup in Brazil in 2016?
It is pretty pointless to lament Lula’s fate. He is in prison, and not as a political prisoner, period.
Would he have been elected prez? Probably yes, and for the wrong reasons – because too many Brazilians still have a fond memory of the good years under his rule. Those were, however, not good years due to his superior, unparalleled statesmanship, but due to a commodities boom worldwide (which, as all booms, had to come to an end) as well as the seeds of stability planted by FHC (and pretty much looted by the transfer programs enacted by the PT, and the lowering of the interest done by Meirelles).
Lula did squat about the real problems Brazil has.
Tax overburden. Poor education. Poor public health, Poor infrastructure.
They still nowadays say he lifted X millions out of poverty, and into the middle class. No he didn’t. He ramped up wealth transfer programs which made so many millions so much more dependent on government hand-outs (and the PT). Of course it’s a good thing preventing people to die from hunger, so fome zero is a good thing. But it is insufficient if it stops at that (which it did). And it is not “development”.
The only good thing about Lula – yes, he was in a way a nationalist who protected Brazilian interests against the anglozionists. Good thing, and pretty unlikely to repeat under Bolsonaro.
How should Brazilians in Sao Paulo feel when they see Haddad’s clumsy attempts to buy Nordestino votes (of which he has a majority already) by promising more social programs for the poor?
They turn away in disgust. And, by the way, Paulisatnos know him, he was a disastrous mayor in Sao Paulo.. He was kicked out of office after just one term.
Haddad doesn’t stand a chance in this election for a reason!
Does that make me an ardent Bolsonaro supporter? No, of course not. Bolso will be a disaster on many fronts on his own, and many Brazilians have far too high expectations.
He will cater to the neocons and likely turn away from the BRICS alliance. He will wreck the environment even more than the leftists/centrists did. He will have no majority in congress to tackle the real problems (tax system, education, infrastructure).
Of course he is a most unsavory figure, and can in no way compare to a man like Vargas.
Now, is he a fascist?
I am somehow shocked to see how easily people throw around such words. In the end what is fascism? Total penetration of public and private life by a state ideology, and rejection of individualism in favour of the collective. That’s what happened with Hitlerism, where fascism had an additional race related underpinning: Du bist nichts, dein Volk ist alles (“You are nothing, your people is everything”).
Would such thing happen under Prez Bolsonaro? Don’t think so.
Would some kind of political persecutions happen?
If political adversaries resort to violent means (which is likely), yes – and Brazilians will support it!
So yes, it is entirely possible that if some paid “antifa” perpetrate acts of violence the whole thing will descend into a repeat of political life under the military (“anos de chumbo”).
So, again, lamenting that Lula is in prison and Temer isn’t, and that Dilma was impeached on flimsy, trumped-up charges is absolutely pointless. The pendulum is in full swing.
Moritz, your arguments are ridiculous…You are obviously a right-wing trying to defend the indefensible.
Yea sure, and I’m a fascist, too.
I do agree with many of the criticisms you have against Lula. But he’s a political prisoner and there was a coup in Brazil against Dilma and himself, that is out of question for me. The brazilian judiciary system became a tool for imperialist attacks against Brazil, that’s why Lula is in jail. He was sentenced not only without proofs, but without a crime, for “undetermined facts”. His sentence is bizarre, no serious jurist would accept it as a reasonable one.
I don’t agree with your assesment that there’s a pendulum swing in brazilian politics. As you admit, Lula would have won the elections, and many that would vote for him have turned to Bolsonaro, not because of some sort of ideological transformation, but simply because many brazilians don’t follow the right/left paradigm and simply give some sort of intuitive vote. But when you actually talk to people and try to understand what they want, it’s always the opposite of the neoliberal policies preached by Bolsonaro and adopted by the hated FHC government and now by the hated Temer government. Bolsonaro will probably win, but that’s more the result of the fraudulent electoral process and the abusive prison of the true popular leader, Lula. It’s not the result of some miraculous Bolsonaro popularity, a man that just a couple of months ago was nothing more than a political joke of dubious taste.
D.C.,
I agree with lots of what you say..
Yes a coup it was against Dilma. Perpetrated by the now-prez who is universally hated, and obviously corrupt.
Yes, the charges against Lula are most likely trumped-up; Moro is 100% partisan. Quite obvious, really.
Yes, Lula would have won had he not been barred from participating in the election. We know that for a fact.
Should he be elected therefore? Hell, no. Look at all the Gleicis and Dirceos and all the other crap that would come with him to power. Brazilians may still like Lula, but the PT is out of the question.
Also, I have the impression that Lula really believes in his own superior statesmanship. In reality he was just lucky, being prez during good years. That may be hard to realize, though, when you are in charge.
I lived in Brazil when FHC was prez. I perceived him as a widely respected, competent leader who stood for stability on all fronts. When he was reelected in 1998, it was one of the rare times a candidate got elected already in the 1st round. So, no, I cannot agree he was hated, much to the contrary.
When the Plano Real was introduced, it was the poor who benefitted the most, and they perceived that. So I would categorize FHC as one of the most competent leaders Brazil ever had… right there with Pedro II and Moritz of Nassau!
Moritz, I do understand and respect your point of view. But I believe we are talking about different “FHCs”. FHC deserves some credit for the “Plano Real”, and he did achieve some economic stability during his first term. He wasn’t remarkable, but compared to previous presidents he was OK. It’s his second term that was a total disaster. After a few years of privatization, deregulation, austerity and all the other neoliberal B.S., brazilians started to pay a heavy price for those policies. By the end of his second term, we had a broken country, IMF and financial slavery, millions of people living in misery, famine, a near collapse of the electric power public industry, etc. It was even worst than Macri’s Argentina, to the point that even some segments of the ruling class decided that it was safer to let Lula be the next president (by that time, they couldn’t imagine that Lula would become so popular and be reelected and also elect his sucessor for two terms). When brazilians think about FHC, they remember the crisis of his final years as president, not the relative stability of his first years. That’s why his party (PSDB) lost the next four presidential elections against Lula and Dilma, and it’s candidate (Alckmin) had only 4% of the votes in last October 7th. Today, more than 60% of brazilian voters say they wouldn’t vote for a candidate supported by FHC.
the arguments you mention remind me of what I heard many Argentinians say as they voted for Macri – and look at Argentina now
I am brazilian, ultra-mega-far-right, supporter of Bolsonaro, I want good relationship with USA, Russia and CHINA and at the same time I hate the globalists, you should know more about Bolsonaro and his followers before saying such things
Leo,
I bet you only call yourself ultra-far-right in protest, because all those SOBs who have been in power so far have been calling themselves “the middle of the political spectrum”, “the left” or else.
I bet you are just a decent man, raised by decent people to embrace decent, family oriented values. And you are disgusted by the frivolous, ever-robbing, ever-hypocritical, transgender-promoting mob who shows understanding for the criminal and rapist yet is ruthless on the hard working classe média man.
So you are NOT ultra far right, let me tell you.
You are just a decent, if disgusted, man.
Yeah, right, and Bolsonaro will be very good to the common working class man (whatever that is). Sorry, but your political point of view is based on fantasies and third-rate propaganda, not on facts. Bolsonaro is a travesty, a tool for the financial globalists disguised as some kind of populist.
Thanks Moritz, yeah today to have christian and family values makes you a far-right… Thanks :)
Presumably you are aware that the US intends to destroy Russia and China to loot their wealth, just as with Brazil?
It’s you who should know more about Bolsonaro before you start supporting him. Frankly, do you live in some kind of alternative reality? How can you be a Saker reader and a Bolsonaro supporter? Do you know what happened in Ukraine after a fascist junta assumed control, backed by the USA? Do you want Brazil to become a failed state?
Bolsonaro is a fascist, favorable to torture, favorable to assasination of poors. He wants to destroy the Amazonia, he said he will make dead the opositors. It’s a tragedy about us. Bannon and north american fundamentalists evangelicals are together with him. God save us.
Dear Peter,
Congratulations for this great article.
I’ve read the other comments – same fascism all thoughout Brazil. That’s what we are passing through here. A Darkness Era just awaits for us (inclunding many nowadays fascists…)
Bolsonaro himself has not the capacities, neither logistically nor personally, to reach the presidency. He is obviously a stooge. He would never win a “normal” election. Of course the US Deep State is deeply involved.
The main point is to note that the US Deep State has finaly refined, almost to perfection, its tool for manipulating ordinary people.
You wrote: “The usual propaganda of deceit from the right has infiltrated every election in the last 5-10 years, starting with the sophisticated internet and propaganda fraud invented by Oxford Analytica (OA), which is largely believed having brought Trump to the White House, Macri to the Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires, Macron to the Elysée in Paris and Mme. Merkel for the fourth time to the German Federal Chanceller’s office in Berlin – among others”.
Now, tested and approved in Brazil, where half of the population has been brainwashed in a matter of months (Goebbels took years to do the same thing), such “Weapon of Mass Manipulation”, or “Weapon of Mass Brainwashing”, or “Weapon of Mass Indoctrination” (it would be useful to assign it a name) is ready to be spreaded worldwide – and it will.
The Brazilian case (read “tragedy”) should be studied, asap, by every government interested in keeping (or in trying to keep) its people safeguarded from that monstruosity.
Yes, but how long will the spell last? And what will happen when brazilians finally realize that they elected a Temer 2.0?
Brazil…to be broken into 4 states.
Chile and Argentina…same deal.
There are government model and there are sides. This is important.
Getulio Vargas in this article looks a total scumbag and he is just the best President Brazil had by far. He was not controlled by the USA, EU or whatever you call the powers that be.
The little Brazil do have today was planted by The Emperor Don Pedro II and Getulio Vargas and thats it.
The system Getulio Vargas replaced was a LARGELY admitted fraudulent election, two-state plot that alternated in power every election. It was called Cofee(Sao Paulo State) with Milk(Minas Gerais State) politics.
So, is this guy, that replaced puppets from the power that be, a bad guy? For who?
Will the author call Assad the same?
Going to the Core of the article. The premise is that the Brazilian army support Bolsonaro and this is false. And you can get an idea why from this story here:
There is a TV station in Brazil that belongs to the CIA, Globo TV.
This TV station always handpick CIA assets in the military to get some political value from it. Because no top active military personnel give interviews in Brazil!…The CIA TV station needs to pick the retired ones and so they did with General Mourao that said that the military powers could intervene.
Due to the repercussion, an active General came to the public to clarify the situation.
https://youtu.be/2T9IaQxljK8?t=335
First 5min the CIA guy ask where he was during the dictatorship, lol, who he is, what he did as a kid etc…
At 05:35 he goes to the subject of the interview, a very unusual interview cuz like ive said, they do not talk to the press at all. So all the situation is odd.
Back to the video, the CIA guy do not ask what he think about General Mourao statement but starts the question with a threat.
He said: From a Freemason house in Brasilia, General Mourao gave the following statement, what do you have to say about it?
Bolsonaro’s supporters were extremely disappointed with the ACTIVE MILITARY General response to it, as you can see in YOuTube comments.
The place General Mourao gave the Statement, why is that important?
Thats a direct threat! CIA said hey bro, look who you are talking too. Do not disappoint us. But he did disappointed them.
So if they own the Brazilian military, why is the need of the threat?
Excellent corrections to the article above. Thanks. I do hope our patriotic military reacts to what is happening in Brazil, sometime in the future… They will have to prepare for it. They will.
I thought the name of the internet data mining company was Cambridge Analytica, not Oxford Analytica?
A piece from Pepe Escobar would be much more complete and accurate.
Pepe Escobar – former member of Gate Stone Institute – not to be trusted –
He was just accused of election fraud – that’s where the numbers come from – not propaganda –
Muito da História do Brasil, de como ele foi formado está omisso nesse Artigo.
Talvez os russos sejam os únicos que compreendam como é o brasileiro, diversidade e língua.
É um país formado por imigrantes de diversas etnias que fala de norte a sul a mesma língua por longos 4.500 quilômetros de Norte a Sul e, de Leste a Oeste.
Isto é um perigo para quem pretende seccionar uma área tão grande.
Eles tentam com política, coisas de politicamente correto ingerindo em nossa maneira única de interagir pretos, brancos índios, japoneses etc. .
Será difícil quebrar o espírito de ser brasileiro.
Dessa vez, votar no Bolsonaro, é uma esperança de reaver nossa soberania.
O que Getúlio Vargas fez foi criar industria de base, crio a Petrobrás, ele era um nacionalista.
O Petróleo é Nosso era seu lema.
O regime militar teve alguma continuidade nas rodovias e afins de Getúlio Vargas mas, havia disciplina e, disso o brasileiro (e o russo) gostam.
Nada de politicamente correto ou, quebrar a unidade familiar como a mídia televisiva fez nos últimos vinte e cinco anos.
Um dos melhores presidentes do Brasil foi o General Ernesto Geisel.
Quando os norte americanos não quiseram vender caças supersônicos, ele os trouxe da França, quando não quiseram vender usinas nucleares, ele as trouxe da Alemanha.
A esperança dos brasileiros hoje é para que que o Brasil seja nosso de novo, que nosso Território seja voltado para nossos filhos.
Outro detalhe, o Getúlio Vargas deixou os EUA utilizarem a Base Aérea em Natal durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial em troca de uma Usina Siderúrgica e uma Refinaria de Petróleo, quando a Guerra acabou, Getúlio Vargas mandou os EUA voltarem para casa.
Vocês acham que o povo brasileiro é pacífico?
Pensem duas vezes!
Tradução do Google péssima!
:-/
Você quer recuperar a soberania nacional votando num completo entreguista chamado Bolsonaro? Os brasileiros enlouqueceram?
Colocar Vargas no mesmo campo de pilantras capachos do imperialismo como Bolsonaro e Geisel é uma ofensa enorme contra o verdadeiro nacionalismo.
One more excellent interview with Pepe Escobar at TV 247 (in Portuguese): https://youtu.be/wZSD1JkqXMs
“starting with the sophisticated internet and propaganda fraud invented by Oxford Analytica (OA), which is largely believed having brought Trump to the White House”
Exactly, and their related web minions continue the propaganda blitz.
Glanzing at the comments here, I see that bolsonaro has a strong zionazi-gay support network operating outside Brazil.
I would venture to say that glancing at the commentaries there is a good deal of Lulistas still around who still haven’t got it that they have f-“%$&-d it up themselves, major league way.
Since Mr. Koenig isn’t Brazilian, I would hope that he could leave the choice of national leadership to the people of Brazil and let the CIA handle any meddling in the internal affairs of a sovereign Latin American state. And using the dictator meme to caricature anybody on the Right is not only grossly inaccurate, it’s lazy journalism; no nuanced thought need be invoked.
