US Involvement in Brazil's Elections

Are you you're referring to the CIA elections in Brazil?

Well, are you referring to when you say they went to tell Bolsonaro?

Are you referring to the CIA director Lloyd Austin?

I actually can pull that up on screen.

If you go to the slide deck,

it'll be slides starting on slide 12. I can walk you through that. Go for it, Rob.

If you can go through that right there. So this is the US State Department.

Yeah, if you can go to the slide,

you just press view slideshow. There you go.

So and we'll go through this line by line here, but the US State Department called

in massive favors and leverage personal connections to build

voting machines for Lula aligned Brazil officials.

And then the CIA warned Bolsonaro not to warrant not to mess with

or cast doubt on all the

new US State Department secured voting machines determining his election.

And if you go to the next slide and walk through this,

so it's from the Financial Times.

This piece is basically about in fact,

you go to the slide after this first what they say is this was

a concerted but unannounced.

So this was basically a covert action by the Biden White House the

Biden Pentagon the Biden CIA and the Biden State Department

to fortify Brazil's election.

So if you go back to the other one the slide before so

the US provided practical help

in the election process to obtain components, especially semiconductors needed

to manufacture the new voting machines the former US ambassador to Brazil.

So they are using shadow diplomacy here

because they don't want their formal US State Department fingerprints on it.

They're going to a

the former US ambassador in Brazil to leverage his personal connections with

Taiwan with Taiwan semiconductor

and to leverage those connections.

I'm sorry inside of the Texas and Texas instruments to distinguish semiconductor

needs and give priority.

We have a semiconductor shortage here in the US.

They are diverting semiconductor chips for that the US needs and sending

them to Brazil

a foreign country to add voting machines that the democratically elected president

of Brazil doesn't want the US State Department and some senior Brazilian

officials also asked Taiwanese authorities to give priority to Brazil's need for

semiconductors which are used in the voting machines.

And then if you go to the next slides here, yeah,

so then I say what's funny is both the 1964 military hunt in Brazil in the

2022 judicial Hunter in Brazil received direct help from the CIA to rise to power.

And then if you if you go to the next one, you'll see CIA

chief is Reuters told Bolsonaro government not to mess with Brazil election.

This is in May 2022 64 schools are you talking about the the Sam? What is it?

Brother Sam brother Sam? Yeah.

Yeah, but I want to just just kind of you know,

close the loop on on this because if you go to the next one next slide, yeah,

so Bill Burns makes a personal voyage.

This is months before the election even happens.

We are now force feeding Brazil electronic voting machines.

The elected president doesn't even want in the country.

And so the State Department is doing that then we send in our covert action

boys the CIA

to say don't you cast doubt look at the language told Brazilian senior officials

that President Bolsonaro should stop casting

doubt on his country's voting system. It's not even his country's voting system.

We we sent the

semiconductor chips to build that because Brazil didn't want them themselves.

So we're putting the machines in there and then telling

them don't question, you know, the results of these machines. So go to the next one.

So then this is also some foreign policy a month after Bill Burns.

It was the Pentagon secretary Lloyd Austin's turn to go down to Brazil and push

the chief of the Brazilian Armed Forces to commit to actually do a

pledge go to the next slide.

Brazil manifesto seek

to reign in Bolsonaro before election.

This is before the election in a July

conference with regional defense ministers. So we are personally paying as

US taxpayers for the head of the Central Intelligence Agency to go down there.

We are suffering under a chip shortage and we are getting that diverted

so that electronic voting machines can

go down then we are paying for the flights of the CIA director to go down and warn

them not to cast doubt on the machines that they didn't that they couldn't build.
