Gosh, it is so good to know we in the US would never see this sort of thing - an evil, authoritarian government imprisoning (even killing) political opponents….
Isn’t it odd that the same tactics and overall playbook seem to have been adopted by a number of world regimes at around the same time? It would be enlightening to determine if there was some kind of coordination involved.
Brazil and the Lula Government, in particular, is corrupt. Good for President Trump; Brazil's economy relies on the US, and it deserves punishment and reform.
Of what corruption are all the other tariffed countries guilty? Trump and secretary of commerce Howard Lutnick become visibly aroused when talking about billions flowing into their coffers. The beauty part: The money from American importers flows in even during negotiations.
If you had any history or knowledge of trade, you would know the real problem isn't tariffs, but non-tariff barriers. Most of our trading partners are hugely guilty of them. Brazil refuses or restricts a great many US commodities and finished products. You can look it up. Let's get you started: https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/brazil-trade-barriers
If you had any knowledge of Trump, you would know that he likes money and couldn't care less about your deep and haughty expertise on barriers to American imports, about which he says nothing. There's no money in that. I'll get you started with the writings of Trump's advisor, Peter Navarro, to understand the cover grift: trade imbalance equals unfair trade, so slap on tariffs and watch American factories pop up like mushrooms (making tariff billions in the meantime). Trump also cares about Bolsonaro, he says.
Exciting new ideas to give all branches of the U.S. government the power to combat political opponents and jail dissidents. Semantics matter. Call a demonstration a "coup," kind of like January 6. Wait! Is Brazil copying off our answers?
Netflix released a documentary called “Apocalypse in the Tropics” about Brazil. It portrays Lula and de Moraes as defenders of democracy against the villain Bolsonaro. Who is funding this propaganda? https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/brazil-apocalypse-in-the-tropics-propaganda

Oh wait…. Jan 6, Jan 8….

That is the "Deep State" at work, all funded by our taxes.
Monkey see, monkey do. Political types aren't that creative. They have to hire consultants for basic guidance on what normals like.
It’s all the same, isn’t it?
Superb investigation. Really outstanding.
We barely dodged the same bullschitt happening here. Lula, that phony Judge, and all of their lackeys are the real, and violent, coup.
The Blob is global. This is just the start. Knowledge and Communication is key going forward.

Ó papai, excelente trabalho de investigação, David e Eli! Obrigado!
Please keep shedding light. I don't think enough Americans understand this is happening. Please keep this in front of the Trump administration.
Jefferson (et al), Robespierre, Kamehameha - all pursued very different aims during the Age of Revolution.
I wonder what they'd make of our Age of Despotism?
Excellent reporting and a terrifying story. Will the American press cover this?
No. Not even the Wall Street Journal which is now no different than the NY Times.
I agree. What has happened to the WSJ? Every article has a negative tone towards an Administration that is doing much better than its predecesor.
May I leave a note to GG: What goes around, comes around and it's corrupt all the way down.

The article is about Brazil, but strangely, this Tucker episode points to the same level of corruption here in the US, going back at least 30 years.

The rot goes deep.
Brazilians need to reclaim their country and put Moraes on trial for his crimes against his fellow Brazilians.
