A brand new long read editorial. http://www.brasilwire.com/how-the-united-states-killed-brazils-democracy-again/
"Brazil’s recent history is one of national sabotage, of international collusion, and of a fifth column, fighting an unconventional war, behind an institutional smokescreen." http://www.brasilwire.com/how-the-united-states-killed-brazils-democracy-again/
"Rousseff recently remarked that just a decade ago, a period when her country’s GDP overtook the United Kingdom's, “…Brazil manufactured aircraft, ships and oil platforms. Today it cannot manufacture disposable masks”." http://www.brasilwire.com/how-the-united-states-killed-brazils-democracy-again/
"Left in Lava Jato's wake are a chaotic, extreme-right kakistocracy under Jair Bolsonaro, and Brazil’s international reputation in tatters." http://www.brasilwire.com/how-the-united-states-killed-brazils-democracy-again/
“It was from its inception both a political, and a geopolitical weapon, and it achieved what it was created to do, working hand in hand with both U.S. Government and corporate interests, Brazil’s military and its elites.” http://www.brasilwire.com/how-the-united-states-killed-brazils-democracy-again/
“There was once an opportunity for the media to avert Brazil’s catastrophe. Instead, they did the opposite, and ran unquestioningly with the narratives of far-right regime change for half a decade. As journalists we must ask how and why that happened.” http://www.brasilwire.com/how-the-united-states-killed-brazils-democracy-again/
“If Brazil knew it was threatened by a US Trojan Horse of “anti-corruption”, perhaps, just perhaps, would-be dictator Bolsonaro would not be President today. Perhaps, just perhaps, a group of Generals would not be at the heart of government.” http://www.brasilwire.com/how-the-united-states-killed-brazils-democracy-again/
“The very word “corruption” has now been stripped of all meaning in Brazil - reduced to a ghastly echo of fascist rhetoric from the 1930s.” http://www.brasilwire.com/how-the-united-states-killed-brazils-democracy-again/
"Then along comes Sérgio Moro, an unremarkable regional judge from Curitiba, Paraná, yet whom already had a reputation preceding him as a "national hero" who would *destroy* the Workers Party." http://www.brasilwire.com/how-the-united-states-killed-brazils-democracy-again
“Lava Jato’s promotion by Council of the Americas, Atlantic Council, AEI, Wilson Center, Transparency International etc, was unusual, as was deification of Sérgio Moro – a mediocre judge elevated to international hero status by the likes of Time Magazine.” http://www.brasilwire.com/how-the-united-states-killed-brazils-democracy-again/
"Council of the Americas facilitates US corporations access to political power in Brazil and grooms its future leaders, enabling capture and control of political decision making by its members: giants such as Cargill, Chevron, Boeing, and Bayer-Monsanto." http://www.brasilwire.com/how-the-united-states-killed-brazils-democracy-again/
Operation Lava Jato and its protagonists were central to the processes which saw Dilma impeached, Lula jailed, and Bolsonaro lifted into power.
It is a proven incontrovertible fact that US agents, hidden from Brazil's Government, were operating inside it. http://www.brasilwire.com/how-the-united-states-killed-brazils-democracy-again/

"Six years since its initiation, Operation Lava Jato is disgraced. However, the full ramifications of the latest exposes have yet to be acknowledged, especially by those whose reputations would suffer most, were they ever to be." http://www.brasilwire.com/how-the-united-states-killed-brazils-democracy-again/
