his interviews with lefties, he came back from prison seeking revenge
Do you have links for those? That sounds pretty important.
ours after Lula's victory was announced road blocks appeared all over the country
We might be getting into territory that’s not so relevant to the non-Br in the forum.
I may very well be post-editing my memories, but I remember hearing about the blocks during the elections, not afterwards.
I’ve seen Piauí do many underhanded implications of their enemies, but their coverage on this specific subject seemed pretty damning for B, with high-level orders coming 24-48h before the end of elections. I’d have to diligently fact check both this and many other situations that happened around that time.
To my surprise they stayed put through heavy rains, the world cup and even after Lula officially took office
Their diligence is very impressive. I remember thinking at the time “if people were frequently this assiduous for their own goals - whatever it is - we’d have quite a different world”.
The Supreme Court tries to disband the protests by force
Reference? Only heard of ministers acting in this direcfion.
Famously, there were many family members in the camps, and the army even pointed their guns against the police in Brasilia, stopping them from entering.
The reports I wrote was that many acts of severe vandalism, even in police headquarters, were completely ignored. The governor of Brasília (not the national president, but of the city) reportedly almost completely ignored the contacts from the ministers of the new government to disband the vandalism (as well as the camps), and so did the highest level police command and guards (we have many different police and guards).
There has been, at least it has been judged so, that many of the local organizers if these camps were asking for money transfer to support the cause but were actually embezzling the money. It consisted of a very messy hodgepodge of people.
Sounds very believable to me. If you read about how the Bolsonaro family relates, and how amazingly chaotic their adm was, it gives quite a specific light to the diplomats’ rebellion.
On January 8th, 2023, a peaceful protest in the capital turns into a "terrorist attack". All points to an inside job.
That was a very bizarre event. The guys at SOTT indicate, persuasively to me, that Trump caught wind of Jan-6, and tried to stop it. And as you say, it seems like a copy-paste.
I’m not quite sure the political dynamics are the same. There’s ample suggestion, differently from Trump, that Bolsonado really was planning a full-out coup. I’d have to go through it again to remember in detail.
I suspect Bolsonaro was either betrayed and thrown under the bus (as his “un-ellidgible” ruling, corruption scandals etc coming out at once), or that he was very confident - and probably his handlers were, too - he would win, and he did have plan B.
I hadn’t thought that the bomb found in the fuel truck just outside the airport could be a false-flag. Sounds plausible enough to me - though I don’t think there’s need for such extreme measures since I believe B can create true-flags himself.
Look, I feel it’s a very delicate and laborious to “diagnose” someone you don’t have personal contact, let alone present evidence to other, but I’m fairly convinced all of the terrorist attacks are very much within B’s functioning. If he did call them or support them, is a different issue. See his level of emotional balance, the bizarre situation within his family, relationship with militia, paranoid statements, being discharged from the army when supposedly going to blow up bathrooms in a HQ, etc.
This may be well beyond our point here. What I’m trying to say is 1) I think Moraes is attributed a much larger role than he actually has 2) I’m quite confident at least part of the motivation of such counter-movement is to maintain national sovereignty.
Btw, I’d love some time to check what you said about the inflation of the judiciary. Even in USD, it’s the world’s most expensive judiciary relatively and absolutely, someone has told me. So I wouldn’t be surprised if they were feeling they still didn’t have enough.
That’s a lot to fact check
#Brazil Mass protest in Sao Paulo today calling for the impeachment of President Lula, which may turn out to be one of the largest protests in the country's recent history
