Brazil Elections

Dilma should be aware of the implication of the US in the campaign of her adversaries, I would imagine an action on her camp's side to prevent the rigging, I don't think they will be passive bystanders. Although, it is indeed a possibility.

Given the PT strong association with other leftist governments on Latin and South America (such as Cuba and Venezuela), I think she is probably aware to some extent. She is at least aware of financial interests because her main dispute with Marina Silva was the Marina wanted an independent Central Bank on the molds of the FED, even though the FED was not mentioned.

However, rigging may be a strong possibility since Brazil uses electronic voting machines that have been shown by independent analysts to not be secure enough to guarantee that the counting cannot be rigged. There is also some indication of rigging in past elections but I'm not sure if it was confirmed.

By the way, one clear indication of Aécio's connection to the banking world is his finance minister, Armínio Fraga. Just take a look at wikipedia:
Arminio Fraga (born July 20, 1957, in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian economist who was president of the Central Bank of Brazil from 1999 to 2002. He is also a former associate of George Soros and his Quantum Fund. Since 2001 he has been a member of the influential Washington-based financial advisory body, the Group of Thirty.

He received his PhD in economics from Princeton University in 1985.

In 2003, he founded the Rio de Janeiro based investment company, Gávea Investimentos.

Fraga has been called the Alan Greenspan of Latin America for his skillful handling of Brazilian monetary policy during his tenure as CBB president.

Fraga worked for both Fernando Henrique Cardoso governments.

In 2009, he became a member of the International Advisory Council of the Chinese sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corporation.[1]

In October 2010, Gávea Investimentos was acquired by Highbridge Capital Management, a subsidiary of J.P. Morgan Asset Management.

If I'm not mistaken, Fraga was the one in charge when most of the Brazilian public companies were privatized during the Cardoso administration.
 
These are in Portuguese, but form what I can understand, could be good to spread around. Yes?

Good selection, Chu. I also found this link (http://saraiva13.blogspot.com.br/2014/07/envolvimento-de-primo-de-aecio-neves.html about Aécio's cousin (and others) being criminally charged (there is a pdf of the official document at the end).
 
Chu, here is my take on the articles you mentioned:

This first one is great as it mentions both a connection of Aécio's father with the CIA in the 1962 elections and Aécio's intentions of changing the oil revenue rules to benefit companies instead of the state.

Also good, basically another take on his family being linked to the US and supporting the 1964 coup, as well as the oil issue. Makes a good companion to the first.

This one briefly mentions the privatization issue but as usual Aécio is evasive and only says that the privatizations done under the FHC administration were necessary:

This one I don't think is so good because it is basically about Aécio bad mouthing Dilma's government because the BRICS bank was set up in India instead of Brazil. The only clue here is that he mentions the USA and EU first when he says that Brazil should be commercially closer to other countries.

And here are a few others:

A great one from LaRouche, it paints a clear picture of both Marina and Aécio (in English): British Crown Defeated in First Round of Brazilian Elections

About Aécio's censorship of the media during his term as governor of Minas Gerais, there is this short documentary in English, made by a Brazilian for Current TV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BixdPe_Jqxw&list=UUETkZtPg8ZbaS72nAq_sEjg

And also this slightly longer documentary in Portuguese: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7t20KC068Q3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv6hdHbT_3w

Both make clear that the major media outlets were either supporting him or being intimidated into not publishing against him.

Latulipenoire, the article you mentioned is a good one related to one of the angles of the 'Aécioporto' scandal. The accusation is that Aécio built a private airport for his family with resources from the State of Minas Gerais. This news piece specifically deals with his cousin being criminally charged because of dealings with a corrupt judge that was selling habeas corpus. The piece then questions if such cousin could be using the the private airport because his cousin's crimes happened in the same city.
 
Thank you both! Excellent. So let's try to spread the information on Twitter and FB, at least. I already started yesterday.

Electronic voting machines?? Even easier to cheat, then! :( But I guess we'll see.

It figures. What was it before, something along the lines of one vote entered resulted in two votes for the black hats - a software hole requirement as usual.

Satirical or close enough?

Says a lot:

[...]Thus, in her post-election remarks last night, Dilma went right after the policies which Aecio represents. With this vote, "the Brazilian people said that they do not want the ghosts of the past, such as recession, tightening and unemployment, to return. Once again we are contending with the PSDB, which governed for a third of the population, and forgot about the needy. They bankrupted the country three times, imposed interest rates which reached 45% ... and never fostered policies of social inclusion and reduction on inequality." And they tried to privatize the state oil and electrical companies, Petrobras and Furnas, and Brazil's large public banks, Banco do Brazil and Caixa Economica Federal.
[...]
She could also have said truthfully, that the Oct. 26 election is between the BRICS and Soros.

A message comes up that it's not available in your country (Canada) - checked Youtube for the title and could not find it, although there are similar sounding videos.

Hmm, strange. The title of the documentary is "Hacking Democracy". There are other versions up on youtube (in several parts instead of the whole docu in one video), so maybe you can get to those?
 
Those who get their YouTube version blocked might try the Internet Archive version:

Hope this helps a bit. :)
 
It would not come as a surprise if the final results go against Dilma. The US of A and sundry allies are doing the impossible to break apart BRICS. Also, Brasil being the #1 economy by far in Latin America, it is almost the necessary tool to control the interests of the PTB in this part of the globe. So, the fifth column is in full gear.

Thanks to the above for finding a link.

Also, thanks to Bev and co. for there work, really, not many were doing anything and these few people worked hard. If this was translated for the people in Brazil, they would be very concerned in the upcoming final election. Since Scotland and many others, it seems that whether paper or electronic, it really does not matter, if the outcomes are banked upon, all trickery will be employed. Thus, what a ruinous system that gives people the manipulated feeling of their right to choose, yet behind their backs it is all just election malfeasance - and they get away with it, especially with a press that bows to commands. :(

Exactly! Even friends who know what the USA (and its minions in the media) is capable of are ignorant of the threat of hacking votes machines. The official media here continues to disinform people daily about our "marvelous and efficient" voting system.

I want to share two articles, one from the NYT about the 2010 elections and the other is from BBC, about the ongoing dispute.

The Female Factor -A Woman Rises in Brazil
By LUISITA LOPEZ TORREGROSA
Published: September 28, 2010

The BBC article can be found here: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-29501500

I want to comment on this:

Analysis: Katy Watson, BBC News, Sao Paulo

It was the economy that was on most Brazilians' minds as they cast their votes. President Dilma Rousseff has blamed Brazil's economic woes on the global financial crisis. While to a certain extent that is true, it is not the whole picture. The social welfare programmes introduced by the Workers' Party have helped lift millions of Brazilians out of poverty, but critics would say that came at a price.

Which is where Aecio Neves comes in. He says Brazil needs to be more attractive to business to encourage investment. After all, if there's no economic growth, where does the money come from for the social spending? He wants a more independent central bank too - that way stubbornly high inflation can be reined in, something President Rousseff and her interventionist government disagree with.

The past 12 years have seen Brazil's fortunes change but people aren't worried about the past, they're concerned about the future. We will have to wait another three weeks to find out who Brazilians trust more in that respect.
Click to expand...

Millions of people are no more miserable thanks to the social programs enhanced by Lula's and Dilma's government, and Aécio worries that Brazil is not receiving enough investment that is clearly based on speculative drives.

Quoting the executive summary of the OECD's article "Employment and Inequality Outcomes in Brazil" (www.oecd.org/employment/emp/42546065.pdf):

After a couple of decades with very volatile macroeconomic conditions and high levels of inequality, growth in the new century in Brazil has been able to generate jobs at an increasing rate. This has led to a decline in unemployment and in informality, despite an increasing labour force participation rate. The increasing human capital accumulation, coupled with the amplification of conditional cash transfer programs, like Bolsa-Familia, has led to a steady fall in inequality, for the first time in decades. This evidence suggests that, after a period of adjustment to the trade liberalization and privatization reforms, Brazil has found a stable path of development. In order to continue in this positive path, despite the recent global economic crisis, Brazil has to continue expanding the education of its workforce, improve the Bolsa-Família program, so that the recipients can find a way out of poverty through participation in the labour market, and promote institutional reforms to speed up the process of creating new firms, reduce the tax burden levied on the small formal firms and speed up the labour market reforms to make the hiring of formal employees less expensive in Brazil.

People who vote in Aecio don't see reality as it is and/or desire to create a truly chaotic country.
