Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and other Latin American countries represent some of those straws. \u00a0They are all in the state of ever-intensifying pandemonium being incited by those interloping nations\u00a0of the Northern Hemispshere..<\/p>\n<p>The following extended expos\u00e9 provides an excellent analysis of what is really going on in Brazil. \u00a0For anyone watching the many fast and furious moves on today&#8217;s global geopolitical chessboard, it offers a unique glimpse into the numerous machinations and intrigues being engineered in Brazil on a daily basis. \u00a0Clearly, the CIA has its fingerprints all over this back story!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/themillenniumreport.com\/2016\/03\/brazils-ongoing-color-revolution-the-back-story\/\">The Millennium Report<\/a><br \/>\nMarch 16, 2016<\/p>\n<p><strong>*<\/strong><em>Anglo-American Axis <\/em>(AAA)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Anglo-American Axis is represented, first and foremost, by the major English-speaking countries of the world: USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel.

The party emphasized social lifts and assistance for the poor. Out of 200 mln Brazil population, 36 mln were lifted from poverty during PT rule, according to official statistics.<\/p>\n<p>Lula was treated as a hero when he secured the first ever Brazil, and first ever S. American, Olympics. He left his post on the high note, endorsing Dilma Rousseff as his successor. Last elections were increasingly difficult for Dilma as the economic situation in the country continued worsening, bringing with it political and social instability.<\/p>\n<p>Under Lula, who was considered a genius by Brazilians for bringing \u2018prosperity\u2019 to the country, this instability would have been impossible. The reason is not the \u2018genius\u2019 of Lula, who certainly was a charismatic and passionate leader, but <em>\u2018the economy, stupid,\u2019<\/em> as they would say in the USA.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the reason Lula was able to push through lavish subsidies and help for the poor, the social lifts costing a lot of money and various other development programs. The global commodities prices were extremely high for years, lifting Brazil our of poverty and putting it into the top ten economies. Simultaneously with the \u2018Brazil miracle\u2019 the BRICS also began developing, lighting additional fire in Brazilians\u2019 belly and giving additional boost to the country\u2019s global standing. The culmination of this rise was Lula securing the first ever Olympics for Brazil, a matter of great pride and joy.<\/p>\n<p>Lula left his office on a high note and Dilma came in, riding high on his wave. I feel sorry for Dilma. It was during her presidency that the global\u00a0economic downturn began \u2013 something certainly beyond her power or control.\u00a0The typically emotional Brazilians responded with disappointment and discontent, resulting in withdrawal of some popular support. Once the population withdraws part of its support, the leader can\u2019t move as boldly forward as before. Coupled with the downturn, increased debt and spending on the Olympics and intensified attacks against the ruling party, such situation resembles a perfect storm. There is definitely a meddling in Brazil\u2019s internal affairs and an attempt at the regime change. Those who are attempting to undermine and topple PT and Dilma have waited for the most aggravated moment, when the \u2018perfect storm\u2019 like conditions would ripen.<\/p>\n<p>This happened on our very recent memory in Ukraine in February 2014, where the toppling of the Yanukovich regime succeeded; in Syria in 2013-2015, until Russia stepped in, reversing the situation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The common sense analysis of Brazil\u2019s economic downturn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say at the get-go: the economic downturn isn\u2019t Dilma or PT\u2019s fault. This is a global situation predetermined by the normal economic cycle. Several years ago the rolling global recession started due to the downturn in the West. In our globalized economy this meant that eventually everyone would be hit one way or another. As a result of Western, primarily US, recession, and as American consumers shopped less, the global engine of growth, China, slowed down and went into a recession, thus requiring less and less natural resources to power its economy. This resulted in a gradual slowdown of the resource and export based economies, such as Canada, Australia, Russia, Brazil and India.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically in Brazil the internal financial and economic situation worsened as two economic factors converged: 1. Olympics required a lot of money and strained the country\u2019s resources. 2. falling global commodity prices, Brazil\u2019s export bread and butter, caused a simultaneous strain, which put the country in a bottle neck of high expenditure with much lower income coming in.<\/p>\n<p>All this meant PT was unable to subsidize the poor as much as before, which in turn meant that the support base for the party and Dilma Rousseff was not as large and not as enthusiastic as when Lula da Silva presided over the boom. Not only Dilma\u2019s, but also ex-prez\u00a0Lula\u2019s, fortune ran out as economic downturn occurred: he is now under investigation on corruption charges.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_Dk\" href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=3&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiloJ7278DLAhXCMz4KHaseDd4QqQIIIjAC&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fpetroglobalnews.com%2F2016%2F03%2Fpetrobras-scandal-lula-da-silva-facing-corruption-charges%2F&amp;usg=AFQjCNFbIsJN1ad0FiSBIZ5EAmF8HuzdCA&amp;sig2=aPpOHuJ9JdozdoEqCfgv7w\">Petrobras scandal: Lula da Silva facing corruption charges<\/a>\u00a0<cite>Petro Global News<\/cite>\u200e<\/p>\n<p>This is typical CIA color revolution at work. Regardless of any corruption, if it really did take place, Lula and Dilma represent for the US a movement away from the US-centric world. Together with the very inconvenient Venezuela\u2019s Hugo Chavez (now deceased due to poisoning disguised as fake cancer) and Argentina\u2019s ex-prez Christina Kirschner (now replaced by new pro-US president) Lula and Dilma tried to orchestrate a peaceful \u2018independence from the US revolution.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In addition, both Dilma and Lula represent the \u2018B\u2019 in the BRICS, together with being a symbol of the rising power of the formerly 3rd World nations.<\/p>\n<p>Color revolutions and various disturbances were tried in Brazil before. Nothing worked until the economic downturn conveniently happened.<\/p>\n<p>The expression that has become very popular in Russia after the Ukraine 2014 events that Russians didn\u2019t see coming, was coined by a European politician; was it Bismark or someone else, I can\u2019t recall. Paraphrased, it goes like this: \u2018If you don\u2019t get politics, politics will get you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Due to how ignorant part of the Brazil population is in the matters of politics and geopolitics, it was easy to dupe them into these protests. The spin is that this a protest against government corruption.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t occur to these three million that they are being used to advance foreign agenda, just like the poor Ukrainians were wound up by foreign coercion and propaganda, and unleashed onto Kiev Maidan in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>But when the dupes on Maidan were used as cover for the trained ukro-nazi and foreign mercenary country take over, not everyone was duped by the show. Yet, those in Ukraine who knew what was happening, preferred to keep their heads down and continue their lives undisrupted, thinking that it would blow over, that the Kiev craze would not reach them. They thought that Odessa, Donetsk, Lugansk, Kharkov, Kherson, Nikolaev and Dnepropetrovsk were far enough from the Kiev madness. We all now know how wrong they were!<\/p>\n<p>They didn\u2019t stand up for the legitimate president because they thought he was corrupt and didn\u2019t represent their interests as well as they wanted. Two years later, the foreign-managed Kiev junta destroyed Ukraine\u2019s economy, plunged the population into poverty, ruined economic and neighborly relations with Russia, created a major rift within own country, started civil war, killed tens of thousands of its own citizens and succeeded in losing the most lucrative parts of its territory when Donbass and Crimea seceded.\u00a0If those who, seeing Maidan madness and foreign manipulation, didn\u2019t decide it was none of their business and acted differently, their country still could have been saved.<\/p>\n<p>Brazilians, who truly care about their country, should heed this warning!<\/p>\n<p><em>My unpublished post from 2\/5 \u2013 2\/10\/2016<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Zika virus hoax<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em><strong>The following was written a month or more ago, well before the present color revolution attempt in Sao Paolo:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The epicenter of Zika virus, as trumpeted by MSM, is, supposedly, Brazil.\u00a0When it first began my initial thought was that someone\u2019s trying to sabotage Brazil Olympics, with far-reaching purposes. After Zika was announced, US almost immediately said that the American team may skip Brazil Olympics due to safety concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Read on to see how Brazil Olympics are tightly connected to geopolitics and the balance of power on our planet.<\/p>\n<p>Zika virus scare in S. America has a large geopolitical component, specifically, that of pressure on South America, and especially on Brazil as the member of the BRICS.\u00a0The actual virus scare has been drastically overblown, feeding off people\u2019s deep-seated fears in order to achieve two goals:<\/p>\n<p>1. Put extra pressure on South America, which is attempting to have its own independent voice in global affairs, inconsistent with USA\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>2. It is specifically designed to decimate the reputation of Brazil president Dilma Rousseff, while also weakening Brazil economy and stepping on the country\u2019s pride. It\u2019s no secret that the previous president of Brazil won the coveted bid for his country by appealing to the OIC that it was time to have the Olympic Games in South America, which never hosted them before. Hosting Olympics is a very big deal and a matter of national pride for Brazil and for all of South America.<\/p>\n<p>But while it invokes a great deal of raised self-esteem and inspiration for the citizens, it is also a huge strain on country\u2019s resources. Basically, any Olympics is a test for the host country. This holds especially true for the countries outside of the West and US sphere of influence. As someone who grew up around the sports and Olympics and who had observed on various occasions what went on, I can tell you that world-wide sporting events, but especially World Cup and Olympics, are used by the USA and West to damage a host country\u2019s reputation, spoil its \u2018star hour,\u2019 ruin the economy and undermine self-esteem. The campaigns against a host country are normally relentless and vicious.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil has strained its resources, finances and economy dramatically due to the Olympics preparations. Hosting the Olympics is an extremely expensive proposition for any country. It is also a test as to the country\u2019s unity and resolve to get to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>The country preparing for the Olympics is especially vulnerable to MSM, political and financial attacks. Leadership of such country gets attacked relentlessly from both inside and outside the country. We can say that both China and Russia have passed the test, but at a cost. It may turn out that Brazil hasn\u2019t passed the test as well.<\/p>\n<p>Do you recall my 2015 prediction that Brazil, and Rousseff personally, will be extremely quiet in the global geopolitical arena until after the Olympics? (<a class=\"bump-view\" href=\"http:\/\/futuristrendcast.wordpress.com\/2015\/06\/30\/new-best-friends-the-truth-behind-obama-and-brazil-president-dilma-rousseff-trying-to-make-up\/\">The Truth Behind Obama and Brazil President Dilma Rousseff Trying to Make Up<\/a>.<strong>)<\/strong>\u00a0You\u2019ll see Brazil trying to speak up again by 2017, or the earliest, towards the end of 2016.<\/p>\n<p>No later than the early 2017 we\u2019ll know if they had broken Rousseff completely, or she is simply waiting out the rough period. If they got the goods on her through those NSA tapes, then she will never be the same.<\/p>\n<p>We do know for a fact that they got major juice on Angela Merkel, whom they now can twist into a pretzel, whenever they want to.<\/p>\n<p>Remember how vocal was Rousseff after she discovered that she was spied on by NSA? She wanted to rally various heads of state against NSA and US; she tried to create an EU \u2013 S. America alternative to the US-controlled Internet; she even went to the UN General Assembly, where she passionately condemned Obama and USA\u2019s spying.<\/p>\n<p>After that, as if at a stroke of a magic wand, riots and protests started in her country. Several months later, Rousseff met with Barack Obama, where she proclaimed her loyalty to friendship and cooperation with the US, indicating that what happened before was water under the bridge.<\/p>\n<p>My prediction that Brazil and Rousseff will become active internationally again after the Brazil Olympics is conditional on how much they had broken her. Alas, we already know one thing: Brazil isn\u2019t ready for the major leagues.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing we know: Brazil isn\u2019t the S. American equivalent of China or Russia.<\/p>\n<p>It is clear that Brazil is targeted because it\u2019s the member of the BRICS. The BRICS is one of several organizations, others being SCO and Eurasian Union, that can serve as a backbone to the new socio-economic system that will replace the present Western-centric model.<\/p>\n<p>While the economy of Brazil seemingly is large enough, the plunge in commodities prices, the basis of its economy, coupled with a strain of the preparation for the Olympics, has made it difficult for the country to balance the books, keep its social obligations and hold its own internationally.<\/p>\n<p>We see time and again that the size of the economy alone doesn\u2019t do the trick.\u00a0Look at Japan: large and influential economy, accompanied by a weak military and non-existent political clout.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, we have the phenomenon of Russia, whose economy is suffering from both crippling sanctions and catastrophic drop in commodities prices. Yet, the power of the President is more solid than ever, Putin\u2019s ratings are through the roof and Russian Army is the strongest it has ever been since the collapse of the USSR. The new infrastructure projects are being developed due to huge currency reserves \u2013 and paradoxically, thanks to Western sanctions. Russian geopolitical and diplomatic clout is also the strongest it has been since the USSR collapse.\u00a0Sure, there are problems, lots of them. The point is: if we compare what was and what is, as well as where it\u2019s going, the dynamics is very positive, and even inspiring.<\/p>\n<p><em>New article: 3\/12 \u2013 3\/15\/2016\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>The BRICS and the geopolitics of the Olympics<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Why the Olympics?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have tried to write several times on my blog about the connection between sport and geopolitics. Every time I do, I feel an unspoken resistance from my readers. I can understand why: most of the aware and awake people consider the big sport to be corrupt, designed to dupe and distract the sheeple. Another part of my readers may consider Olympics a colossal waste of resources that can be better used to feed the hungry and build something useful.<\/p>\n<p>They are all correct. Yet, I cannot impress enough on you all what an important part in today\u2019s global geopolitical set up is assigned to sport. Sport\u2019s influence and manipulation of human consciousness can never be underestimated. \u2018Bread and spectacles,\u2019 as the ancient Romans would say, is what keeps the population at bay. Take that away and you will have riots on streets \u2013 exactly as happened in ancient Rome. Besides that, the big sport is responsible for the feeling of national pride and unity like almost nothing else. Due to all the above, sport is used routinely to manipulate the sheeple, whole countries and the entire world, according to someone\u2019s clandestine agenda. We even know whose agenda\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, those who REALLY, TRULY want to understand what is going on in our world and how it works, those who want to truly get how geopolitics work, cannot ignore sport. Until human consciousness makes a leap from 3D into 5D, sport will remain a huge and inseparable part of the collective unconscious and of the global geopolitical structure.<\/p>\n<p>Till then, read my posts that talk about the geopolitics of sport.<\/p>\n<p>(Incidentally, read how 3D, 4D and 5D work on my new LadaRay.info page: <a href=\"http:\/\/ladarayinfo.weebly.com\/guide-to-multi-dimensional-universe.html\">GUIDE TO MULTI-DIMENSIONAL UNIVERSE<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>While there is a healthy element in the admiration and national pride based on your athletes\u2019 achievements, the burning desire to host major global sporting events in order to boost national prestige has gotten many countries in trouble. Once a country is in the process of preparation for the Olympics, World Cup or something else, the amount of pressure and expenditures naturally increase, the country\u2019s power structures become increasingly vulnerable to protest, economic\/financial\/political manipulation and external pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Russia went through this with Sochi Winter Olympics; China went through this with Beijing 2008 Olympics; Moscow 1980 Olympics were boycotted by the West \u2013 ultimate sabotage; Los Angeles 1984 Olympics were boycotted back by the USSR and the Russian camp;\u00a0Russia is still under pressure because it\u2019s hosting World Cup in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>But the above are the world\u2019s strongest countries, the ones that are best equipped to withstand enormous pressure. As far as money goes, China has the world\u2019s largest currency reserves and Russia has third largest currency reserves. These countries don\u2019t need to go into debt and can weather a serious storm. It is not so with the majority of others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Greek Olympics: how Greece really incurred its debt<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No one ever talks about where Greece\u2019s astronomical debt really came from, yet to me it\u2019s obvious. Greece hosted the millennial 2000 Olympics in Athens. Greece is a small and relatively poor country, but the millennial Olympics were given to it in recognition of the fact that Olympics once started in ancient Greece. Some may remember that all kinds of terror threats were in the headlines for the year 2000. Greek officials grudgingly admitted before the Olympics that \u2018the country spent more on security than it could afford.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Recall what happened more recently: Greece went through a major scandal in which it was accused by the EU that it lied about the level of its debt and that it violated the EU law requiring to keep its debt below a certain level. What was never disclosed was how much of that debt went on the preparation, construction and security for the 2000 Athens Olympics. To this day Greek officials are ashamed to admit the country spent all that money and has nothing to show for it. Now the Athens Olympic stadium is used to house Middle East refugees and the country is saddled with enormous debt they owe to IMF, German and French banks; debt they will never be able to repay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Every country wanting to host Olympics, which also is trying to be independent of the US\/West, must keep this in mind. They will use the country\u2019s vulnerability and any weaknesses in preparation for the Olympics or World Cup to attack and shift the balance back to their advantage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sitting on two chairs, or how Brazil grew too fast<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Now the same is happening to Brazil. In the past twelve or so years Brazil grew too fast, helped by high commodities prices and influx of foreign capital. Lula and Dilma were allowed to lift the masses out of poverty, but the moment the going got tough the resistance began. Pride and resting on laurels, thinking that Lula\u2019s achievements were due to his genius and not to the luck of the high commodity prices \u2013 that\u2019s what got PT in trouble. Another thing that got Dilma, PT and Lula in trouble was the mediocre-to-poor understanding of the global geopolitical, financial and economic processes. Alas, they didn\u2019t understand that our world is cyclical. Any cycle of boom would always be followed by a cycle of bust when Brazil\u2019s economy will experience a downturn.<\/p>\n<p>Russians spent the past 12 years, when oil prices were high, setting aside a nest egg and an emergency fund, which they can now afford to dip into. Brazilians did nothing of the sort. They extravagantly spent everything and went into debt on top of it.<\/p>\n<p>Further, it was extremely naive for Dilma and Lula to think they could forever sit on two chairs. This naivet\u00e9 got Ukraine\u2019s Yanukovich and Party of the Regions in big trouble in 2014. While Brazil proclaims independence of the US, its financial system is closely linked to, and dependent on, the US; economy is, similarly, closely linked. The media and business people, educated and wealthy classes go to school in the US and\/or do business with the US.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, as Brazil grew exponentially in the past 12-15 years, its wealthy class and associated pro-US lobby grew as well. Brazil has accumulated a gigantic \u2018fifth column\u2019 to be turned on at the puppet master\u2019s will. And this moment arrived when the country began experiencing economic difficulties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The bricks of the BRICS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This demonstrates the relative strength of Brazil. Pride and passionate desire to get ahead played a bad joke on Brazilians.<\/p>\n<p>We often talk about BRICS as a solid, monolith organization, which it is often perceived to be. It really is a beautiful dream.\u00a0<strong>But the truth is that not all BRICS have been created equal. The real bricks of the BRICS are Russia and China.<\/strong> India is next on the list. Brazil isn\u2019t nearly as strong of a member, and certainly neither is S. Africa.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea to continue developing the BRICS as a project. But will it bring real dividends?\u00a0Some, but not so much.<\/p>\n<p>What we see here is an attempted attack on the BRICS. The West wants to try to break up this alliance. But in truth, this really is an attack against Russia and China.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil has proven a vulnerable brick, and easy enough to dislodge. The Olympics have shown its structural weakness.<\/p>\n<p>This is why I see more of a future in Eurasian alliances. The golden triangle \u2013 Russia, China, India \u2013 has great potential for a stabilizing future. SCO has a big political future. Eurasian Union theoretically has a great future, but it is full of its own weak links, such as its prospective peripheral members. But these are topics for other articles and ESRs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Probable outcomes for Dilma and Brazil<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What happens next in Brazil depends purely on the people of Brazil.\u00a0Dilma apparently saw the writing on the wall and tried to appease the US in 2015 by making up with Obama. Her goal was to survive somehow until after the Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>The pressure will continue until one of the following happens:<\/p>\n<p>1. Dilma is impeached and gone \u2013 this outcome has a risk of civil war and Ukraine-like scenario.<\/p>\n<p>2. PT and Dilma cave in and become a complete puppet of the US, like Angela Merkel.<\/p>\n<p>Both of the above outcomes are scary.<\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>Dilma and PT find enough strength and dig deep to find true support of the population, support not based on bribes in the form of handouts and subsidies.<\/strong> This support will allow them to withstand all the attacks that have to be expected, emerging with flying colors after the Olympics. They better hold on \u2013 attacks and sabotage will be relentless: just remember how the anti-Russian Ukraine coup was timed to coincide with Sochi Olympics!

They have been living a boom-bust cycle since at least the early 80s, and the stability of the last decade was unusual for them. The \u2018good years\u2019 during the commodity boom were squandered and virtually no investment was made in education or infrastructure. The money flow did raise the average standard of living, but the majority of it went into elite pockets and now the gravy train is over. The currency has already collapsed and prices on imports have doubled. If this happened in America there would be riots, but the word I\u2019m getting from friends is the economy is terrible, but there are \u2018some great parties\u2019! Brazilians gotta love em?\u270c<\/p>\n<p>Most of my friends have good technical jobs, but the cost of living is so high, especially in S\u00e3o Paulo (the business financial center of Brazil and South America) the money comes in and goes straight out. They live day to day, complain have a drink and laugh. Even in the protests they start to samba, they don\u2019t know how to be angry and mad like Americans. My Brazilian friends think its terrible (we should be angry!!) but I think its a good thing, keeps cooler heads even in the worst of times (video from anti-Dilma protests) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hXbxvx1NNvw\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hXbxvx1NNvw<\/a><br \/>\nI don\u2019t want to trivialize their problems, but there would be major violence in the USA if the currency devalued by 50% and so far there have only been fairly peaceful protests in Brazil. They have shot some tear gas etc, but things return to normal in a few days, it hasn\u2019t become a martial law situation yet.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding Dilma\u2019s PT (Partido dos Trabalhadores, Worker\u2019s Party), the situation is bad. All Brazilian politics is corrupt, and among Latin countries the joke is Brazilians take it to another level. Dilma\u2019s administration is caught in major scandals with Petrobras, and you probably heard former President Lula (also PT party) got raided at home by Federal Police for evidence on corruption. In her youth, Dilma was a radical leftist and suffered several years in prison and torture under the US backed Brazilian military dictatorship. However in recent times many leftists of her generation including the PT party have moved to a more center-left establishment position. During the commodities boom, there were many investment articles on the \u2018Brazilian Miracle\u2019, but after a decade plus of stability, a steep downturn has hit and all opposition parties, including those backed by the USA are in a power struggle for control of the biggest country in South America.<\/p>\n<p>The sentiment on the PT is divided by class lines, the majority working class attitude is the PT is corrupt but this is Brazilian Politics and what is the alternative? They feel that the Worker\u2019s Party did do a lot for average Brazilians and are suspicious of the alternative. The other side are upper class Brazilians who support a Pro-American Anti-BRICS stance, with candidates such as Aecio Neves from the PSDB (Brazilian Social Democracy Party).<\/p>\n<p>As has been outlined the Futuristrendcast, the New Silk Road and multi-polar BRICS alliance is the best chance for Brazil and other countries in the world economy. As such I\u2019m very suspicious of candidates such as A\u00e9cio Neves, he would be the perfect type to break Brazil out of the BRICS and join the Pro-Atlanticist TPP pact. Neves has a very playboy wealthy image (abjectly corrupt) and there was even a helicopter that crashed with tons of cocaine that was connected to his circle of friends. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.talkingdrugs.org\/445kg-of-cocaine-pasta-base-found-in-brazilian-senators-helicopter\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.talkingdrugs.org\/445kg-of-cocaine-pasta-base-found-in-brazilian-senators-helicopter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If A\u00e9cio Neves or a similar Pro-American candidate became president, Brazil would revert to a South American puppet state of the USA, similar to the Military Dictatorship years of the 1960-1980s. Another politician that is calling for investigation of Dilma is Eduardo Cunha from Rio (PMDB, Democratic Movement Party), who himself is under investigation for corruption in the Petrobras scandal! I hope this gives some context to the Brazilian political situation, it is very corrupt all around \u2013 to the point that, unfortunately, many Brazilians see it as standard operating procedure. There are even some that are calling for the return of the Military Dictatorship and even a Brazilian Monarchy!<\/p>\n<p>I must also mention, besides the Petrobras scandal, there was a major mine disaster in Mariana at the end of 2015. A mine tailing pool in broke and destroyed one of the greatest rivers in Brazil, the Rio Doce. It happened in the Minas Gerais state which is known for mining (\u2018Lemurian Quartz\u2019 comes from Minas) and also for its rich farmland. They\u2019re calling it the Brazilian Fukushima, and trying to blame Dilma. The 800km plus river will take 100 years to recover, if it ever does. I think it\u2019s just symptomatic of Brazilian corruption in general. Very sad, when it rains it pours in Brazil.<br \/>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KlQf3PvaWCY?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;autohide=2&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" width=\"604\" height=\"370\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another aspect is \u2018Color Revolution\u2019 which is being pushed in many ways. There are many NGOs and American memes that are shaping young Brazilians\u2019 minds, creating hate and division where there wasn\u2019t any before. Some of the sentiments are legitimate, but at the same time I feel a lot of it is brainwashing and inciting divisions during a crisis point within the country. I can see why Putin put pressure on foreign NGOs in Russia.<\/p>\n<p>The common themes are racism, feminism, the so-called \u2018social justice warrior\u2019 memes, etc. The majority of Brazilians that are absorbing this are the upper class as they see the West as modern and Brazil as backward, so they copy all the \u2018hottest\u2019 memes coming out of Hollywood etc.<\/p>\n<p>An important thing to note is a major difference between Brazil and the Anglo countries is Brazil is a \u2018Mesti\u00e7o\u2019 or syncretic culture of European, Brazilian Indian, and African elements that have combined over hundreds of years. Brazil definitely does have race and class differences, but in general they all share the singular language of Portuguese, celebrate the same cultural events, and are all united under the banner of Brazilian people. Compare this to the USA, which is also a mixture of cultures, but is severely divided by language and cultural differences, where traditional European-Americans have very little commonality with new immigrants who may not even speak English.<\/p>\n<p>So, this is why I feel American based social media could be used for color revolution, to grow existing fractures or splits in Brazilian society to the advantage of The West. Creating more problems to capitalize on, just as the pro-BRICS Brazilian government is in the greatest economic and political crisis in over a decade.<\/p>\n<p>Another crisis is the recent ZIKA scare, there are many Brazilians that are questioning the Zika hoax, whether it was pesticide in the water supply or because of the American introduction of GMO mosquitoes \u2013 there is a questioning about this. As far as I know there is no mandatory vaccination, but people are scared. Especially young mothers. I question the timing of this Zika phenomenon, I don\u2019t want to be conspiratorial, but it just seems like crises are hitting Brazil from all angles at the present from the environmental, to the economic and political crises.<\/p>\n<p>For investors or potential expats, in my opinion Brazil, is probably the WORST place to do business. The bureaucracy is thick and they don\u2019t have the same work ethic as the Northern countries or East Asia. Life in Brazil is hard, taxes and cost of living is high \u2013 however, if you find a niche, they are some of the most friendly and accepting people you will ever meet. Your social life will be so rich and the love from your friends and family, you will have a life experience you will never forget. Brazil is a very YIN country, all subconscious, emotional, spiritual, flowing. Take a trip and see for yourself, it\u2019s not for everybody but if you like Brazil, I think it is one of the most culturally rich places in the world.<\/p>\n<p><em>From an upper class white Brazilian on Facebook.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll try to explain as simply as possible: this protest is not about corruption. Operation \u2018Lava Jato\u2019 (car wash) is not about corruption.\u00a0If it was, your \u201cPoster Boy\u201d would never be \u00c1ecio Neves. If it was, we wouldn\u2019t see just like last year, the hashtag \u202a#\u200esomostodoscunha\u202c. If it was, we would have screams and protests also against Alckmin, Beto Richa, Sierra and Fernando Henrique Cardoso.\u00a0This movement against the PT is clearly a desperate attempt to maintain the status quo of \u201cgood people\u201d. The image that represents a desperate attempt to keep everything the way it was. Rich and Poor in their rightful place.\u00a0The Protesters prefer the corruption of some and then condemn the other.\u00a0If you are against the government, come with honesty and consistency. Show indignation, but without selectivity. And most important: do not support all these unconstitutional acts that are happening on the side of fascism. Don\u2019t be on the team of Bolsonaro (far right politician -ak) Or you are on the opposite side of democracy.\u00a0And the worst is looking down on the poor as tramps and losers, as this video shows\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jornalistaslivres\/videos\/351091668348050\/\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jornalistaslivres\/videos\/351091668348050\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(protesters say public welfare should be cut, they just use money to drink and have kids \u2013 when 36 million Brazilians were lifted out of poverty under PT government -ak)<\/p>\n<p><em>More comments from the post on Facebook:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>People are being kept behind bars for months without a trial, and being released only if they accept to denounce PT and its allies, however flimsy it\u2019s that testimony. Suspicions and inquiry file pages are being leaked to the press\u2026. inquiries for which even the lawyers are having their access denied. Moro and the prosecutors are investigating only PT and its allies and turning a blind eye to the opposition and the media, even though there has been a whole lot of testimonies and evidence pointing to them.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutors even managed to turn operation Zelotes, about the HSBC Leaks, into an anti-Lula operation. And the electoral court is analysing AGAIN Rousseff\u2019s campaign accounts, even though they\u2019ve already looked into it and approved it.<\/p>\n<p>In the most recent development, now globo is afraid of the unrest they created among the population (this morning there was a protest in front of their rio journalism quarters) and their bloggers and sunday op-eds are even trying to push the lie about \u201cPT\u2019s violent militias\u201d and pleading for MILITARY INTERVENTION in an attempt to create a narrative legitimizing an even bigger breach of democracy.<\/p>\n<p>Make no mistake. This is not a long overdue objective and universal cleansing of the countrie\u2019s corruption. This is an orchestrated cooptation of the institutions in order to create som sort of media\/justice\/politics paraguayan coup like the one which ousted Lugo.<\/p>\n<p>Crookedness is created and hidden by their gate keeping. Lula is one of the most investigated politicians of recent times. He had no good will from the media. You\u2019d think by now they\u2019d have more against him than that canoe bullshit and such. Guys like aecio neves who like to play outraged against corruption (and receive ample media space without questioning for that) wouldn\u2019t last 10 minutes under that kind of scrutiny<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p>Globo (major TV media outlet in Brazil, and propagandist in the dictatorship era) calls for return of the military dictatorship!<\/p>\n<p>Frightened by the wave of solidarity with the former president Lula, who blazed his base of support from the social movements, Globo, which helped establish a military dictatorship in Brazil in 1964, now uses two of its columnists, Merval Pereira and Ricardo Noblat to spread that the military is ready to put the house in order; \u201cMilitary put troops on hand to ensure public order,\u201d said Merval, which ranked the citizens who defend democracy as \u201cPT militia\u201d\u2026.

Only small fish were condemned. No PSDB right-wing politicians were condemned! Alberto Youssef is back in business as if nothing had happened. What was the fascists\u2019 hero Sergio Moro thinking? Why didn\u2019t he put any politicians in jail? Mismanagement of 150 billion reals, an absurd amount of money when compared to the R$ 10 billions stolen from Petrobras.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013<\/p>\n<p>My opinion Lada is, knowing Brazilian culture, most likely the PT is involved in some corruption, BUT it is not as bad as being portrayed by the media (which is overwhelmingly American friendly). These revelations about Lula being railroaded are quite eye-opening, I think this may also be timed to build tensions before the Olympics. I think they are on some sort of time table and are working as quick as possible on multiple fronts to destabilize the BRICS. The powers that be cannot afford another year or two of Putin! <b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"CToWUd\" src=\"http:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/e\/1f602\" alt=\"?\" width=\"34\" height=\"34\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/futuristrendcast.wordpress.com\/2016\/03\/15\/brazil-color-revolution-attempt-corruption-dilma-lula-zika-and-2016-olympics-lada-ray-analysis-and-predictions\/\">http:\/\/futuristrendcast.wordpress.com\/2016\/03\/15\/brazil-color-revolution-attempt-corruption-dilma-lula-zika-and-2016-olympics-lada-ray-analysis-and-predictions\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":6,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13995\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
