These are U.S.-funded and U.S.-backed channel institutions who provide the entire substructure to the head of the snake.

The analogy that I've been giving on this is it's a Brazilian spider, but the spider web was laid by the U.S.

State Department, USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy, I can go through all their roles,

and the fangs of it are star-spangled spangs.

This is the U.S.

State Department trying to take out its political opposition in Brazil

They went to war with Bolsonaro.

They called him Trump of the tropics.

They're waging the same campaign against Bolsonaro that they did through their own intermediaries to take out Trump during his term to censor him on the internet there and that they're using to censor Trump today through their work with the EU.

They're just doing that in Brazil to stop Bolsonaro.

This story goes back at least six years to the U.S.

State Department's involvement in censoring Brazil.

So...

almost all Bolsonaro supporters in the run-up to the 2018 Brazilian election were deemed to be populous by the US State Department.

This Department of Dirty Tricks power that I laid out all hinges on this word democracy.

We have this concept that democracy is this set of democratic institutions and that if the popular will opposes these democratic institutions, we call that an attack on democracy because even if the people want it, it still violates these safeguards that are held in place.

This is how we say we don't let another Adolf Hitler rise to power.

It's because we don't allow demagogues

appealing to the masses to take democracy outside of the bumper cars of the bowling lane.
