In a speech at the , he promised Brazilian rare earths as payment if the White House spoils this year’s elections and hands him the Presidency of the Republic.
O, a far-right meeting in which candidates for Marshal Pétain present their coup resumes to American authorities.
In addition to Flávio Bolsonaro, Reza Pahlavi, son of the last Shah of Iran, went to CPAC in the homeland that his family plundered and kept submissive for decades. At last year’s CPAC, South Korean far-right activists walked around the conference defending Yoon Suk Yeol, the president who, as Jair tried to do, . Like Jair, Yoon Suk Yeol lied that he had been a victim of electoral fraud. Like Jair, he is in prison.
But it would be a mistake to reduce CPAC to defending the coup d’état. The conference had panels on other subjects: for example, in the session “Steaks, Cigars and Ivermectin”, four crazy people defended a very particular vision of what can guarantee the health of Americans. I hope they are right, because Trump has cut off access to the traditional healthcare system for millions of citizens.
Anyway, if Flávio attended his father’s ministerial meetings, a meeting full of scammers, thieves and crazy people defending lice medicine must have seemed like just another day on the job.
In addition to rare earths as a bribe, Flávio also offered Trump a speech for a possible intervention. With a poker face that would make you blush, Flávio resurrected the .
The coup investigation showed that the Bolsonarists were not just wrong about electronic voting machines: they were lying.
In , there are screenshots of WhatsApp saying to another coup official on October 4, 2022, two days after the first round: “Nothing. No signs of fraud” (p. 98); print of a message from Cid’s father asking his son, on behalf of another scammer, not to publish the Armed Forces report that found no sign of fraud (p. 145); several pieces of evidence that the technician in charge of investigating the complaints against electronic voting machines informed the party that the complaints were not substantiated (for example, email on pages 203-204).
In other words, when they called for a coup because the election had been stolen, Jair and his gang knew it wasn’t true.
Flávio also knows. Spreads lies about Brazilian democracy to convince the greatest superpower in the history of the world to destroy it. It’s not even the first time: just a few months ago, I supported the tariff. And at CPAC he criticized Trump’s advisors who, “driven by their own interests”, led him to negotiate with Lula.
If you understand how scandalous Flávio Bolsonaro’s speech was, I suggest not creating expectations about its political effects.
Is this your first election with right-wing coup plotters in the race, son? Mine is the third. If Flávio promises to privatize any bakery, he will continue to be treated as a normal candidate, for whom reasonable people can perfectly vote.
