<<Thread>> How the KOCH BROTHERS helped give #Brazil its own DONALD TRUMP. Meet JAIR BOLSONARO, Brazil's Koch-endorsed far-right president. 1/9 cbc.ca/news/politics/…
Like Trump, his core beliefs are very conservative, especially when it comes to gay rights. "If a gay couple came to live in my building, my property will lose value. If they walk around holding hands, kissing, it will lose value!". 2/9
He's racist and misogynistic. 3/9 fastcompany.com/90258155/jair-…
And he intends to use the military to help with his policies - including re-instituting the death penalty, empowering police to kill suspects, tearing up environmental regulations and rescuing the country from political corruption. 4/9 globalnews.ca/news/4606489/j…
Bolsonaro received grassroots support from the ATLAS Network. An organization funded by US industrialists, the Koch Brothers, to spread Libertarianism globally. 5/9 theintercept.com/2017/08/09/atl…
The Atlas Network trained many of Bolsonaro's grassroots organization in the "Free Brazil Movement" via a student organization. It deploys the same strategy elsewhere in Latin America. 6/9
“Some Free Brazil Movement coordinators had received training by Students for Liberty, a free-market advocacy network that is part of the Atlas Network, an American not-for-profit organization that spreads free market ideals.” 7/9 gu.com/p/6qxpc/stw
Bolsonaro also used fake news - especially on what is known as 'dark social' like WhatsApp to spread manufactured content. 8/9 fastcompany.com/90256810/how-b…
Notch another far-right government installed with the help of the Koch Brothers. 9/9
