Washington’s ‘Fingerprints’ All Over Rousseff’s Impeachment

Dilma Rousseff's impeachment has dealt a heavy blow to Brazil's democracy, giving the country's corrupt neoliberal elite free reign, experts say, adding that the case has all the earmarks of a "color revolution."

Brazil’s young and vibrant democracy is under threat as an unelectable corrupt neoliberal political elite have taken the reins of power from President Dilma Rousseff of the Workers Party (PT), prominent American journalist, lawyer and author Glenn Greenwald warns in his recent article for The Intercept.

“As someone who has lived in Brazil for 11 years, it’s been inspiring and invigorating to watch a country of 200 million people throw off the shackles of a 21-year-old right-wing (US/UK supported) military dictatorship and mature into a young, vibrant democracy and then thrive under it. To see how quickly and easily that can be reversed — abolished in all but name only — is both sad and frightening to watch,” Greenwald writes.

. . .

“The right wing is the driving force of the protests… Two of the principal groups responsible for organizing and mobilizing the demonstrations are the Free Brazil Movement (MBL) and Students for Liberty (EPL), both of which have direct ties to Charles and David Koch, the right-wing, neocon, US billionaires, as well as other leading figures of the far right, pro-business neoliberal establishment,” Draitser underscored.

He remarked that the right-wing, pro-US elements inside and outside Brazil “are particularly angered at the Worker’s Party and, more broadly, the left.”

stink on that crock of poo from way over here. We need to get out of the business of regime change for the oligarch's benefit.

5. Claiming Washington's fingerprints are all over

is not evidence. You have to show the fingerprints.
She was impeached by whoever does impeachments in Brazil and since they are elected, they certainly aren't unelectable as the story claims.
Then, of course, we have the guilt by association, where we name the names of a handful of Americans, loosely tie them to other Americans and condemn all because they're evil and they must have done it.

6. Brazil's law requires a crime has been committed in order to be impeached.

As always fascists seize control of everything they can until someone can stop them. They aren't bothered by laws, laws only apply to poor people, those without money and connections.

It wouldn't hurt you a bit to start researching the information you hope to discuss.

3. It's getting to where it's embarrassing to admit I'm American. No wonder no one votes.

I'm posting this before the neocons get here to explain how this is fine/necessary.
