CIA Director Makes Secret Visit To Crumbling Bolsonaro Government

[MiroJarvis]

Background: Shortly after taking office, Jair Bolsonaro became the first Brazilian leader to visit CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. He was accompanied by his Justice Minister Sergio Moro who had jailed main opponent Lula da Silva before the 2018 election, on now annulled charges. As a result, US-trained Moro now faces Supreme Court investigation for Judicial bias. Prosecutors from the now disgraced joint US-Brazil anti-corruption operation Lava Jato called Lula’s prosecution “a gift from the CIA”. The White House recently admitted that the CIA was involved in its “fight against corruption” in Latin America, which effectively brought Bolsonaro to power.

"William J. Burns, director of US intelligence agency the CIA, is currently visiting Brazilian capital Brasília, where he will be meeting government officials such as Government Secretary, General Luiz Eduardo Ramos, and the powerful head of Institutional Security, General Augusto Heleno.

On the 29th June, Burns was in Colombia, according to the Colombian ambassador in Washington, Francisco Santos, Burns’ arrival is the result of three previous meetings with the CIA to clarify “what is happening in the country”.

This week, United States President Joe Biden, announced on June 28 (1 day before the arrival of the CIA director in Colombia) his support for negotiations promoted in conjunction with the international community, regarding the forthcoming elections in Colombia, where leftist Gustavo Petro currently leads opinion polls."

1. Don't get me started on The CIA or we'll be here all day! I'll just say that birds of a foul

feather flock together and leave it at that.

2. Hopefully they are warning him not to try anything....

Instead of supporting him in overthrowing Democracy.

3. Real food for thought! It never crossed my mind the dirty play that aided Bolsonaro's election

had outside help. I had assumed it was merely filthy machination by a vicious Brazilian powerful fascist element trying to knock Lula out of the running.

The Brazilian fascists have been after Lula for decades, as well as his whole family.

Your information raises some intense questions. All the more reason to be mindful of US/Brazilian relations....

Thank you, Miro Jarvis. Welcome to D.U.

4. Thank you!

It was largely a machination by domestic fascists, but seems like they had some level of colaboration from outside.
