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…
The documented U.S. role in Brazil’s democratic collapse is still an absolute taboo amongst mainstream U.S. reporters in Brazil, even those purporting to be dissident investigative journalists. brasilwire.com/us-backed-moro…

'Jango': Sílvio Tendler's masterful documentary told the real story of Brazil's 1964 coup.
In her 1977 book “United States Penetration of Brazil“, former CIA researcher, Professor Jan K Black, exposed the complex role the US played in the 1964 coup.

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.

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”.

No matter how disgraced its hero Sergio Moro and Lava Jato have become, Council of the Americas just can not let its anti-corruption fairytale go...

In 2015's #PodemosTirarSeAcharMelhor scandal, Reuters employees were caught censoring an admission by former President Fernando Henrique Cardoso that the Petrobras bribery scheme targeted by Lava Jato and blamed on the PT began under his government.

Lava Jato did not "lose its way”. It was always a political and geopolitical weapon, with a domestic and international propaganda campaign that is perhaps unprecedented outside wartime. brasilwire.com/the-narrative-…

The pattern of Anglo media coverage during Brazil's coup is repeated across Latin America.

Golpista-friendly talking points and smears are laundered through ‘progressive’ and ‘leftist’ publications, killing international solidarity for left governments. brasilwire.com/how-the-us-lef…
A key example of progressive Anglo media cover for a right wing coup was support for US-Brazil anti-corruption operation Lava Jato, which in the FBI's words "toppled" presidents Dilma Rousseff and Lula da Silva, bringing neofascist Jair Bolsonaro to power. brasilwire.com/the-narrative-…
