For the Musk fanboys and brand new “Brazil experts” who have found us. Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes was not a Lula pick. On the contrary, he was appointed in 2017 by then coup president and US stooge, Michel Temer, Bolsonaro’s predecessor.

brasilwire.com/temer-reveals-…
To underline distance from Lula: in 2018 de Moraes cast deciding Supreme Court vote to deny Lula habeas corpus, which meant he could be arrested for bogus corruption charges and removed as election frontrunner. This is literally how Bolsonaro was elected.

And for those grotesquely inverting controversies over de Moraes predecessor Teori's death; point was that he had become enemy of Lava Jato, its far right protagonists and supporters. His skepticism threatened to ruin their proven plot to jail Lula and keep him out of election. Image

US-backed Sergio Moro worked secretly to prevent Dilma Rousseff's 2014 re-election. brasilwire.com/us-backed-moro…
New evidence shows how US-coached judge Sergio Moro fabricated a scandal on the brink of the 2014 election, designed to bring down then incumbent president Dilma Rousseff. brasilwire.com/us-backed-moro…
Moro's earlier interference in the 2014 presidential election is further proof that Operation Lava Jato, which he now admits he commanded, was a political weapon from the outset, working on behalf of the U.S. Government and its corporate interests. brasilwire.com/us-backed-moro…

Golpe de Estado (Coup d'état) is trending in Brazil following yesterday's government/military upheaval.

We have been writing about the possibility of an auto-coup since before Bolsonaro was elected.

He was already talking to the NYT about it in 1993.

Articles related to the threat of an auto-coup in Brazil, 2018-21. brasilwire.com/?s=auto-coup
We must add that the situation is fluid, the outcome unclear, and most analysis available so far is based upon speculation. But we do advise watching Brazil very carefully in the coming days and weeks.

Breaking: Far-right minister of foreign affairs, Ernesto Araújo, dubbed "the worst diplomat in Brazil's history", has now asked to resign, after facing massive pressure for his removal. Image
One month ago, Brazil's outgoing far-right Foreign Minister Ernesto Araújo was on a remote charm offensive in the United States.

In an online Q&A hosted by Council of the Americas, Bolsonaro's Amazon policy was called a "win win".

brasilwire.com/extractivism/
In 2019, Brazil's brand new ex-foreign minister Araújo visited the US to announce a new bilateral agreement to open up the Amazon for development.

Araújo called the agreement “…the Holy Grail of Brazil’s foreign policy, at least for the private sector”.
