Never in modern political history has it been so
easy to “abolish the people” and simply erase 54
million votes cast in a free and fair presidential election.
Forget about hanging chads, as in Florida 2000.
This is a day that will live in infamy all across
the Global South – when what was one of its most
dynamic democracies veered into a plutocratic
regime, under a flimsy parliamentary/judicial
veneer, with legal and constitutional guarantees
now at the mercy of lowly comprador elites.
After the proverbial marathon, the Brazilian
Senate voted 55-22 to put President Dilma
Rousseff on trial for “crimes of responsibility”
– related to alleged window dressing of the government’s budget.
This is the culmination of a drawn-out process
that started even before Rousseff won re-election
in late 2014 with over 54 million votes. I have
described the bunch of perpetrators of what
Brazilian creativity has

War hyenas.
Sophisticated golpeachment – supported by what
amounts to an Electoral Inquisition College – has
propelled Hybrid War to whole new levels.
Hybrid War as applied to Brazil exhibited classic
elements of a color revolution. Of course there
was no need for no-fly zones or humanitarian
imperialism to “protect human rights” – not to
mention provoking a civil war. But considering
the high resistance level of the victim state,
where civil society is very dynamic, Hybrid War
designers in this case bet on a mix of
capitulation – and betrayal – of local elites,
mixed with “peaceful protests” and a relentless
mainstream media campaign. Call it ‘Civil War Light.’
That carried with it a fabulous cost-benefit
ratio. Now the (immensely corrupt) Brazilian
political system and the current
executive/legislative/judiciary/mainstream media
alignment can be used by the usual suspects for their geopolitical agenda.
Welcome to regime change light – politics, in a
nutshell – as war by other means on the BRICS. A
new software, a new operating system. Carrying a
pathetic corollary; if the US is the Empire of
Chaos, Brazil has now gloriously reached the
status of Sub-Empire of Scoundrels.
Scoundrels galore
Rousseff may be accused of serious economic
mismanagement, and of being incapable of
political articulation among the shark pool that
is (immensely corrupt) Brazilian politics. But
she is not corrupt. She made a serious mistake in
fighting inflation, allowing interest rates to
rise to an unsustainable level; so demand in
Brazil dramatically dropped, and recession became
the norm. She is the (convenient) scapegoat for Brazil’s recession.
She certainly may be blamed for not having a Plan
B to fight the global recession. Brazil
essentially works on two pillars; commodity
exports and local companies relying on the teats
of the state. Infrastructure in general is dismal
– adding to what is

as the “Brazilian cost” of doing business. With
the commodity slump, state funds dwindled and
everything was paralyzed – credit, investment, consumption.

for Rousseff’s impeachment – allegedly
transferring loans from public banks to the
Treasury in order to disguise the size of
Brazil’s fiscal deficit – is flimsy at best.
Every administration in the West does it – and
that includes Clinton’s, Bush’s and Obama’s.
<http://russia-insider.com/en/dilma-out-brazilian-plutocracy-sets-54mn-votes-fire/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Car_Wash>The
Operation Car Wash investigation, dragging on for
two years now, was supposed to uncover corruption
in the Brazilian political system – as in the
collusion of oil giant Petrobras executives,
Brazilian construction companies, and political
campaign financing. Car Wash has nothing to do
with the golpeachment drive. Yet these have been
two parallel highways converging to one
destination: the criminalization of the Workers’
Party, and the definitive – if possible –
political assassination of Rousseff and her mentor, former President Lula.
When golpeachment reached the lower house of
Congress – an appalling spectacle – Rousseff was
eviscerated by Hybrid War hyenas of the BBC
variety; “BBC,” in English, stands for
“bullet,”“bible” and “cattle,” where “bullet”
refers to the weapons and private security
industry, “bible” to pastors and evangelical
fanatics, and “cattle” to the powerful agribusiness lobby.
The “BBC” hyenas are members of almost all
Brazilian political parties, paperboys for major
corporations, and – last but not least –
corruption stalwarts. They all benefited from
millionaire political campaigning. The whole Car
Wash investigation ultimately revolves around
campaign financing, which in Brazil, unlike the
US with its legalized lobbies, is a Tarantino-worthy Wild West.
The Brazilian Senate is not exactly an “upper” –
as in more polished – house. Eighty percent of
members are white men – in a country where
miscegenation rules. A staggering 58 percent is
under criminal investigation – linked to Car
Wash. Sixty percent hail from political
dynasties. And 13 percent – as alternates – were
not elected at all. Among those favoring
impeachment, 30 out of 49 are in trouble with the
law. Charges include mostly money laundering,
financial crimes and outright corruption. Renan
Calheiros, the president of the Senate – who
oversaw today’s impeachment vote – is the target
of no fewer than
<http://russia-insider.com/en/dilma-out-brazilian-plutocracy-sets-54mn-votes-fire/http://www.brasilpost.com.br/2016/05/02/renan-impeachment-lava-jato_n_9774686.html>nine
separate money laundering/corruption Car Wash
lines of investigation, plus another two criminal probes.
Meet the three Banana Republic amigos
Rousseff is now suspended for a maximum 180 days
while a Senate committee decides whether to
impeach her for good. Enter President-in-Waiting
Michel Temer – a dodgy, shady operator – who has
been branded a “usurper” by Rousseff. And usurper
this provincial Brutus certainly is – according
to his own words. On March 30 last year, he was
tweeting that,“Impeachment is unthinkable, it
would create an institutional crisis. There is no
judicial or political basis for it.”
His administration is born with the original sin
of being illegal and massively unpopular; his
approval rating floats between an epic 1 percent
and 2 percent. He was already fined last week for
violating campaign finance limits. And,
predictably, he’s drowning in a corruption swamp
– named in two Car Wash plea bargains and accused
of being part of an illegal scheme of ethanol
buying; he may become ineligible for the next
eight years. Almost 60 percent of Brazilians also
want him
<http://russia-insider.com/en/dilma-out-brazilian-plutocracy-sets-54mn-votes-fire/http://brasileiros.com.br/2016/04/datafolha-manifestantes-pelo-impeachment-tambem-querem-saida-de-temer/>impeached
– on the same charges leveled against Rousseff.
Brutus 1 (Temer) would not bask in the glow of
his 15 minutes of fame without the shenanigans of
Brutus 2 (Brazil’s number one crook, former
speaker of the lower house Eduardo Cunha, facing
charges of bribery and perjury, holder of illegal
Swiss accounts, and now finally sidelined by the
Supreme Court). It was Brutus 2 who fast-tracked
impeachment as pure vengeance; the Workers’ Party
did not cover his back as he was facing a tsunami
of corruption charges. Brutus 2 used all his vast
powers – he runs a campaign financing scam inside
Congress – to obstruct the Car Wash
investigation. His replacement, the interim
speaker, is also under investigation for bribery.
So meet Temer, Cunha, Calheiros; these three
amigos are the true stars of the Banana Republic of Scoundrels/Crooks.
As if the Supreme Court would be rascal-free.
Judge Gilmar Mendes, for instance, is a lowly
plutocrat vassal. When an attorney for the
government entered a motion to suspend
impeachment, he quipped, “Ah, they can go to
heaven, to the Pope, or to hell.” Another pompous
judge received a request to sideline Cunha as
early as December 2015. He only examined the
request over four months later, when the whole
golpeachment scam was in its decisive phase. And
still he argued, “there’s no proof Cunha contaminated the impeachment process.”
Finally, complementing the whole scam, we find
Brazilian mainstream media, with the toxic Globo
media empire – which lavishly profited from the
1964 military coup – at the forefront.
All hail the neoliberal restoration
Wall Street – as well as the City of London –
could not hide its excitement with golpeachment,
believing Brutus 1 Temer will be an economic
upgrade. Arguably, he might dare to tweak
Brazil’s Kafkaesque tax code and do something
about the enormous hole in the pension system.
But what that mythical entity – the “markets” –
and myriad “investors” are salivating about is
the prospect of fabulous rates of return in a
reopened-for-speculation Brazil. The Brutus 1
game will be a

feast, actually a restoration, with no popular representation whatsoever.
The golpeachment gang gets really incensed when
they are identified as coup plotters. Still, they
could not give a damn about the OAS, Mercosur,
Unasur – all of them condemned the coup – not to
mention the Holy Grail: the BRICS. Under Brutus
1, the Foreign Ministry, to be led by a sore
loser senator, is bound to sink Brazil’s key role
in BRICS cooperation, to the benefit of Exceptionalistan.
All one needs to know is that neither Nobel Peace
Prize-winner Barack “kill list” Obama nor Queen
of Chaos Hillary “We came, we saw, he died”
Clinton condemned the ongoing regime change
light/golpeachment. That’s predictable,
considering
Exceptionalistan’s<http://russia-insider.com/en/dilma-out-brazilian-plutocracy-sets-54mn-votes-fire/https://theintercept.com/2015/07/04/nsa-top-brazilian-political-and-financial-targets-wikileaks/>NSA
spied on Petrobras and Dilma Rousseff personally
– the genesis of what would develop as the Car Wash investigation.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest limited
himself to the proverbial platitudes:
“challenging moment”; “trust in Brazilian
democratic institutions”; or even “mature
democracy.” Yet he added, significantly, that Brazil is “under scrutiny.”
Of course, the current stage of a very
sophisticated Hybrid War strategy has been
accomplished. But there are countless
cliffhangers ahead. The Car Wash investigation –
currently in slow motion – will pick up speed as
a rash of dodgy plea bargains is already in store
to create the conditions to criminalize for good
not only Dilma Rousseff but the key piece in the chessboard: Lula.
Game over?
<http://russia-insider.com/en/dilma-out-brazilian-plutocracy-sets-54mn-votes-fire/http://jornalggn.com.br/noticia/o-xadrez-do-presidente-interino>Not
so fast. The anti-golpeachment front does have a
strategy: to imprint especially in “deep Brazil,”
the vast masses of the working poor, the notion
of illegality; to rebuild Rousseff’s image as the
victim of a profound injustice; to re-energize
the progressive political front; to make sure the
Brutus 1 government will fail; and to create the
conditions for the man who will come in from the
cold to win the 2018 presidential elections.
Brazilian House of Cards? Bets could be made this
may even end up as Anaconda, with Lula
immobilizing the Hybrid War hyenas in a cobra clutch.

There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
