-- BACKGROUND Jair Bolsonaro is the front-runner in Brazil's presidential election. He is a conservative Christian, pro-gun, a former army captain, and the only candidate with no corruption charges against him. He's looking to modernise the lethargic Brazilian economy with the aid of UChicago economist Paulo Guedes. He wants to align Brazil's foreign policy with Western nationalist governments against the influence of China, Iran, Syria, Palestine, Russia, North Korea and regional socialism (Venezuela and Cuba). He has a hard stance on crime and supports increasing the power of police forces and the army to tackle Brazil's drug and violence problems.
Memes by Bolsonaro: >Pinochet should have killed more people >Historical debt towards slavery? I didn't enslave anyone. >The Portuguese didn't enslave blacks, but blacks enslaved themselves. >I wouldn't rape you because you are ugly and you don't deserve it. >Do you burn the donut? I don't care! Be happy! Hugs for you!
The US uses a series of proxies to influence foreign elections. The main proxy is the National Endowment for Democracy, NED, which receives $100 million in taxpayer dollars. The NED et al coordinates all of it’s activities with the State Department. The NED has a series of shell organizations to target specific ideological groups, social classes, and countries. The shell organization used to support center-left parties is the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, the NDI.
The US is using these to influence the Brazilian election. The NED has published pieces on its website which call Bolsonaro a threat to democracy and the rule of law. Foreign Policy Magazine, the mouthpiece of the State Department, has also published similar attacks on Bolsonaro. The NDI published a piece on its website declaring that Haddad was a champion of anti-corruption and “social justice” while condemning Bolsonaro.
Clearly the US prefers Haddad to Bolsonaro. How deep does this clandestine support go?
Polls pre voting was 32% to Bolsonaro with one saying 42%. So the actual vote looks set to have destroyed the polling numbers. Insiders say he is topping the first round with a massive lead of (>15%+ over nearest rival) amid rumours that there is a chance he could win it outright. One rumour says he is close to 49%. Another says its 47.8%.
(((International))) experts say "If true, this would be a earthquake inducing political shock across the entire continent"
Authoritarian doesn't get used enough. Do you intend that he will use the Public Unions to run the government, or do you intent that he will rule with an iron fist?
