BarbWire protests US giving documents to Brazil over dictatorship, worries about gay socialism

Brazilian anti-gay activist Julio Severo is outraged that the United States has handed over to the Brazilian National Truth Commission documents about human rights abuses, including the torture of dissidents, during Brazil’s military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985.

He took to BarbWire today to denounce the disclosure of documents verifying claims of state-sponsored violence, warning that the move will only transform Brazil into a socialist, pro-gay nation.

Severo writes that that the military regime saved the country from becoming “a communist hell,” but “the Brazil Truth Commission, now helped by the U.S. government, will perpetuate the lie that communists wanted just to bring ‘democracy’ — which means now, for the current socialist White House, to impose the gay agenda around the world, and which means, for the current socialist government in Brazil, to mimic it.”

He also warns that the U.S. is committed to push gay rights in Brazil in order to silence televangelists like Pat Robertson: “The biggest socialist threat today is the imposition of abortion and the gay agenda.”

This makes some interesting reading actually, the Brazilian military dictatorship, which emerged by ousting democratically elected Joao Goulart provided the archetype of sorts for future Latin American dictatorships such as Pinochet's regime in Chile... Military coup, say Communists are trying to take over, and then seek as much US support as possible.

As for Goulart and his evil communism; he cut down illiteracy, created a progressive tax, expanded the vote, and broke bread with poor black communities. What a tyrant, right?
