IPEC 2022 presidential election poll looks at 2 possible scenarios. In the 1st, disgraced ex-Lava Jato judge Sergio Moro appears in 3rd with 8%. The 2nd scenario includes folkloric, Christian fireman/former PSOL Congressman Cabo Daciolo. Here, Moro drops to 6%. Coincidence?
Daciolo joined PSOL after leading a Rio fireman's strike in 2011. He was elected to congress in 2014. In 2015, he was kicked out of PSOL for proposing an amendment changing wording in the Constitution from "All power emanates from the people", to "All power emanates from God."
During the 2018 presidential race, he provided a lot of comic relief in the debates, beginning every speech by saying "Glory to God" in a thick Rio de Janeiro accent. As the election date neared, he moved to a mountain top to live as a hermit.
The comedic highlight of the 2018 debates occurred when Daciolo accused moderate, center-left technocrat Ciro Gomes of belonging to an international communist conspiracy called "Ursal". He may have meant UNASUR (Union of S. American Nations)- but it led to endless memes.
Daciolo ended up getting 1.3 million votes and finishing ahead of former environmentalist turned 2014 neoliberal 3rd path hopeful Marina Silva and his former PSOL party mate Guilherme Boulos.

Greenwald is lying about Brazil's Supreme Court, falsely claiming that its 1st working group ruling on the Bolsonaro case is made up of faithful allies of Lula. Yet 3 of these 5 ministers voted to open an exception to the Constitution to imprison him on flimsy charges in 2018+ Image
During its first 14 years on power, the PT used technical criteria to choose Supreme Court justices - an ethical move that is never done in the US. It came back to haunt them, as most voted in favor of Rousseff's frivolous impeachment and Lula's arbitrary political imprisonment.
Bolsonaro broke from tradition by politicizing the court, appointing far right reactionaries, Nunes Marques and André Mendonça. Here's Michelle Bolsonaro, praying, crying and speaking in tongues the moment Mendonça's nomination was confirmed.

Brazil's Federal Police announced that, based out of the conservative state of Parana, the PCC crime group has taken over hundreds of petrol stations (privatized by Jair Bolsonaro) and created shell companies to launder drug money, investing US$6 Billion in 21 hedge funds+ Image
Assets seized/frozen: 21 hedge funds, 141 cars, 1600 trucks, two boats and 191 properties, including 6 farms valued at R$31 million and a mansion appraised at R$13 million. Parana governor and Bolsonaro ally, Ratinho Jr., has been rumored to have organized crime ties for years. Image
Justice Minister Ricardo Lewandowski says, "This is the tip of the iceberg. Now we are going to find out who is below the surface." The scandal has rocked Brazil's business community on Faria Lima (Brazil's equivalent of Wall Street). Image

"The conduct of this relative is repugnant," says ex-first lady Michelle Bolsonaro, about her uncle Gilberto Firmo, arrested during a child pornography investigation last week. Another uncle was arrested for organized crime in 2021. A 3rd uncle was arrested for rape in 2020+ Image
In addition to her uncles, Mrs. Bolsonaro's grandmother did jail time for drug trafficking in the 1990s and her mother was once investigated for fraud. Could this explain why she has worked so hard to project the image of an evangelical religious zealot? Image
Here are some sources. 1) on her uncle Gilberto's arrest for share 10 child porn archives with social media chat apps. noticias.uol.com.br/cotidiano/ulti…

As Trump tries to extort the Brazilian government to reverse Jair Bolsonaro's conviction, it's worth remembering that he is the first and only Brazilian president to ever visit CIA headquarters in Langley, VA, on 3/18/2019, along with son Eduardo and Car Wash judge Sergio Moro+ Image
CIA director William Burns then visited Bolsonaro in Brasilia on July 2, 2021. forte.jor.br/2021/07/02/em-…
In a leaked Telegram chat that was only released 2 years after Intercept received access, after it became part of an official court document, Car Wash prosecutor Delton Dallagnol referred to Lula's arrest as, "a gift from the CIA." brasilwire.com/lula-arrest-is…

Whenever Americans try to impose their ridiculous "free speech" laws on Brazil, I have to explain this again: 1) Brazil does not follow the sloppy, outdated, US Constitution. It has it's own laws; 2) Unlike in the US, glorification of pedophilia is not protected free speech here+ Image
3) Like other countries around the world, e.g. Germany, glorification of Naziism is also not protected as "free speech." In Brazil, the reason for this is the Constitution's concept of the Harmony of Rights. No essential right can be used to trample over other essential rights;
4) Within the Brazilian legal framework, "comedian" Leo Lins' jokes about fucking schoolchildren who play with dolls violate children's' right to enjoy a happy, stress free and normal childhood, as defined in the 1990 Statute of the Child and Adolescent. gov.br/mdh/pt-br/nave…

In the 1970s, the Communist Party of Brazil (PC do B) was persecuted by the US-backed Dictatorship, & supported by the Labour Party of Albania. In 1978, PC do B's 7th Congress was held in Tirana. I asked Deep Seek to apply Hoxha-style analysis to modern US imperialism in Brazil.+ PC do B leadership meeting in Albania in 1978
"From a theoretical perspective rooted in Enver Hoxha’s anti-imperialist and anti-revisionist Marxism-Leninism, U.S. involvement in Brazil’s Operation Car Wash can be understood as an extension of capitalist hegemony and imperialist subversion...
"Hoxha consistently argued that U.S. imperialism seeks to destabilize sovereign nations through judicial, economic, and political warfare, aiming to install compliant regimes that facilitate exploitation...
