Claims of U.S. Involvement in Brazil's 2022 Election

elections in brazil well and are you referring to when you say they went to tell bolsonaro you were you're referring to the cia director lloyd austin actually

can pull that up on screen if that you know the uh... slide deck it'll be slides starting on slide twelve i can walk you through the whole for ron if you can go through the

right there so this is the u.s. state department if you can't be able to the slightest was view slideshow they go mhm

and and we'll go through this line by line here but the u.s. state department called in massive favors and leverage personal connections to build voting machines for lula

aligned britain brazil officials and then the cia warned bolsonaro not to warrant not to mess with or cast doubt on all the new u.s. state department secured voting machines

determining his election and if you go to the next slide walk through this so this from the financial times this piece is uh... basically about effective go to the slide after this

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 in the biden state department

to uh... fortify brazil's election so if you go back to the other one the slide before so the u.s. provided practical help in the election process uh... to

obtain components specially semiconductors needed to manufacture the new voting machines the former u.s. ambassador to brazil so they are using shadow diplomacy here

because they don't want their formal u.s. state department fingerprints on it they're going to a uh... a the former u.s. 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 uh... texas instruments to distinguish

semiconductor needs and give priority now we have a semiconductor shortage here in the u.s. they are diverting semiconductor chips that the u.s. needs

and sending them to brazil a foreign country to add voting machines that the democratically elected president of brazil doesn't want

the u.s. state department and some senior brazilian officials also asked taiwanese authorities to give priority to brazil's need for semiconductors

uh... which are used in the voting machines and then if you go to the next slides here uh... yeah so then i say what's funny is both the nineteen sixty four military hunt in

brazil in the twenty twenty two judicial hunt in brazil received direct help from the c.i.a. to rise to power and then if you if you uh... go to the next one

you'll see c.i.a. chief is reuters told bolsonaro government not to mess with brazil election this is in may twenty twenty two sixty four schools are you talking about uh... the

sam what is it uh... uh... brothers and brother sam yet yet but uh... uh... i want to just just kind of uh... you close the loop on on this because if you go to the next one

next slide yet 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 c.i.a.

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 said we sent the semiconductor chips to build that because brazil didn't want them themselves we're putting machines in there and then

telling them don't question uh... 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 rein in bolsonaro before election this is

in a july conference with regional defense ministers so we are personally paying as u.s. taxpayers for the head of the central intelligence agency to go down there

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 c.i.a. director to go down

and were they're not to cast doubt on machines that they didn't you know they can build without us and that the president didn't want
