Archiv: Brasilien Präsidentschaftswahlen 2018 / Brazil 2018 presidential election


20.12.2023 - 16:10 [ Glenn Greenwald / Twitter ]

After 2016 — first Brexit, then Trump‘s win — Western elites decided populations could no longer be trusted with basic freedoms: they choose and think wrong. That‘s what led to the censorship/“disinformation“ regime. Now they‘re barring the leading candidate from running:

Imagine if Biden wins with Trump banned or jailed: US sermons about „democracy,“ or condemning Putin imprisoning Navalny, will be seen as an even bigger joke than now.

One of the West‘s key dissidents (Assange) is jailed. They censor dissent. Now they‘re trying to ban Trump.

It‘s always been a huge propagandistic mystery that the US media succeeds in convincing Americans that the US Govt defends freedom as it props up the worst dictators (Saudi, Egypt, etc.).

They‘re now escalating it in desperation: first after 2016, now seeing Trump/Biden polls.

Fear of free populations is a global trend. In Brazil, they imprisoned Lula in 2018 when leading all polls, then banned Bolsonaro from running.

In Pakistan, CIA engineered removal and imprisonment of Imran Khan.

All Western countries are increasing online speech controls.

One last point: in 2017, Lula was leading all polls for 2018 (as Trump is now). He was made ineligible when he was charged and convicted. Brazil‘s media and establishment celebrated because they thought it‘d finally give them a center-right leader. Instead, they got Bolsonaro.

Our reporting proved Lula‘s judge and prosecutors conspired and cheated and the conviction was thus vacated. But at least the charges were serious (money laundering and fraud, not paying hush money to a porn star).

Brazil Deserves the Right to Be Happy: Lula Da Silva

„In 2018, I couldn’t vote because I was in jail for being a victim of a lie. Four years later, I’m voting with full recognition of my freedom and the possibility of being president again so that this country can return to normal,“Lula said, recalling that he remained in prison for 580 days as a result of a political persecution orchestrated by conservative elites.

WATCH: Glenn Greenwald Explains the Political Earthquake in Brazil Caused by Our Ongoing Exposés

The archive we received from our source is vast, and contains many more explosive stories yet to be reported. Just last night, we published another story exposing even more serious improprieties by Judge Moro, widely regarded as the anchor of legitimacy for the Bolsonaro government, that has led for more calls for him to resign. Because of the importance but also complexity of these issues for those outside of Brazil, we created a video explaining what this archive is about, what these revelations mean, and why the consequences of our reporting are so significant not only for Brazil but for the entire democratic world.

Generalstreik in Brasilien am Freitag. Gewerkschaftsverband kritisiert Politik unter Präsident Bolsonaro. Ein Gespräch mit Jandyra Uehara Alves

„Seit dem durch ein Impeachmentverfahren legitimierten Putsch gegen Präsidentin Dilma Rousseff von der brasilianischen Arbeiterpartei PT im Jahr 2016 werden soziale und demokratische Errungenschaften hierzulande zurückgedreht. Zu den schlimmsten Maßnahmen gehörte das Einfrieren von Investitionen im Sozialbereich, in der Gesundheit und Bildung für 20 Jahre noch unter der Regierung von Michel Temer (Präsident von 2016 bis 2018, jW). Eine Resultat davon sind die heutigen Kürzungen im Bildungshaushalt um 30 Prozent. Dazu kam eine Reform des Arbeitsrechtes, die Errungenschaften aus den 1940er Jahren eliminierte.“

Justizminister in Brasilien versucht Schadensbegrenzung nach Intercept-Leaks

Brasília. Der aktuelle Justizminister von Brasilien und ehemalige Bundesrichter Sergio Moro hat gestern die Veröffentlichungen der publizistischen Website „The Intercept“ versucht zu relativieren und zu entkräften. Er leugnete nicht deren Wahrhaftigkeit, verwies jedoch auf deren „illegalen Ursprung“ und beteuerte, sie würden kein unangemessenes Verhalten seinerseits bezeugen.

Exclusive: Leaked Chats Between Brazilian Judge and Prosecutor Who Imprisoned Lula Reveal Prohibited Collaboration and Doubts Over Evidence

(09.06.2019)

In the files, conversations between lead prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol and then-presiding Judge Sergio Moro reveal that Moro offered strategic advice to prosecutors and passed on tips for new avenues of investigation. With these actions, Moro grossly overstepped the ethical lines that define the role of a judge. In Brazil, as in the United States, judges are required to be impartial and neutral, and are barred from secretly collaborating with one side in a case.

Other chats in the archive raise fundamental questions about the quality of the charges that ultimately sent Lula to prison.

How and Why The Intercept Is Reporting on a Vast Trove of Materials About Brazil’s Operation Car Wash and Justice Minister Sergio Moro

(09.06.2019)

The Intercept’s only role in obtaining these materials was to receive them from our source, who contacted us many weeks ago (long before the recently alleged hacking of Moro’s telephone) and informed us that they had already obtained the full set of materials and was eager to provide them to journalists.

Informing the public of matters in the public interest and exposing wrongdoing was our guiding principle in doing this initial reporting on the archive, and it will continue to be our guiding principle as we report further on the large number of materials we have been provided.

Hidden Plot – Exclusive: Brazil’s Top Prosecutors Who Indicted Lula Schemed in Secret Messages to Prevent His Party From Winning 2018 Election

(09.06.2019)

An enormous trove of secret documents reveals that Brazil’s most powerful prosecutors, who have spent years insisting they are apolitical, instead plotted to prevent the Workers’ Party, or PT, from winning the 2018 presidential election by blocking or weakening a pre-election interview with former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva with the explicit purpose of affecting the outcome of the election.
