(Brazilian dictator Lula with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping)
"Multiple branches of the US government, including the military, the CIA, the state department."
In “Biden Handed Over South America to China“, I delved into some of the administration’s intervention on behalf of Lula, a radical leftist, over Jair Bolsanaro, a pro-American conservative, in Brazil’s election.
“Both our nations’ strong democracies have been tested,” Biden falsely claimed, and “both in the United States and Brazil, democracy prevailed.”
Media accounts compared Biden and Lula who had both faced mass public protests over their stolen elections. Biden had been one of the first to congratulate Lula on his stolen election and invited him to the White House despite the Brazilian Marxist’s longtime enmity to America.
The Biden administration and the media had worked hard to bring Lula to power despite the fact that he was an ally of geopolitical enemies like Xi in China and Putin in Russia.
Lula’s most significant statement was a call to end the use of the dollar as an international currency. And this was not just talk. In March, Brazil agreed to use the Chinese Yuan currency for its purchases.
The Financial Times however reveals the shocking extent of Biden’s illegal coup in Brazil.
The fact that the election was not seriously challenged is a testament to the strength of Brazil’s institutions. But it was also in part the result of a quiet, year long pressure campaign by the US government to urge the country’s political and military leaders to respect and safeguard democracy, which has not been widely reported.This is predictably titled as “defending democracy”: a euphemism that has come to mean protecting and installing leftist regimes by any means necessary whether in America or abroad.
The Financial Times has spoken to six former or current US officials involved in the effort, as well as to several key Brazilian institutional figures, to piece together the story of how the Biden administration engaged in what one former top state department official calls a “very unusual” messaging campaign in the months leading up to the vote, using both public and private channels.
“Very unusual”. Is that what we’re calling masterminding pro-China coups in South America now?
The solution was a concerted but unannounced campaign across multiple branches of the US government, including the military, the CIA, the state department, the Pentagon and the White House. “This was a very unusual engagement,” says Michael McKinley, a former top state department official and ex-ambassador to Brazil.
So they’ve decided to go with the “very unusual” brand. We very unusually overthrow a pro-American government and installed a leftist criminal allied with China and Russia. How unusual this is. Brazilian truckers patriotically protested our coup and we very unusually suppressed them.
Just another day of very unusually defending democracy from the voters.
The effort began, according to former top state department official Tom Shannon, with the visit of Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan to Brazil in August 2021. An embassy statement said the visit “reaffirmed the longstanding strategic relationship between the United States and Brazil” but Sullivan left his meeting with Bolsonaro worried, according to Shannon.
“Bolsonaro continued to talk about fraud in US elections and continued to understand his relationship with the United States in terms of his relationship with President Trump”, says Shannon, who is also a former US ambassador to Brazil and maintains close contacts in the country.
So Biden’s people came away believing that Bolsnaro was more pro-Trump than pro-Biden. Time for a “very unusual” coup to “defend democracy”.
In private, Austin and other officials spelt out to Brazil’s military the consequences of supporting any unconstitutional action, such as a coup. “There would be significant negative ramifications for the bilateral military-to-military relationship if they were to do something and they needed to respect the outcome of the election”, a senior...
