The 19 minute segment you've posted should be mandatory for anyone trying to make sense out of the pathetic drivel we've been handed from our own corporate "news" services. If you take enough time to read tons, you can somewhat put a lot of the pieces together over time, but Glen Greenwald doesn't mislead, and he has the direct information we've been missing.

The pattern seems so damned familiar, doesn't it?

The schemers have the power to keep running the same plays over and over, simple brute force and treachery. They own the militaries. Their ability to control populations increases regularly. As they have had it leaked through the "news" media, they have the materials to use sound and microwave technology to either blow up our eardrums, or fry our @$$&$ like bacon if they decide any protest is getting too large, or getting on their last nerves, dropping everyone where he/she stands.

It will be ugly to witness how the Brazilian goblins try to destroy both Dilma and Lula. I hope there are enough strong, good people left in Brazil who are going to keep this dirty plan from succeeding.

Thank goodness for people like Glen Greenwald, he is a genuine hero.

Thank you, Jack Rabbit, for giving us the chance to get a cleaner look at what's happening in Brazil.

Hope and concern for the heroic, once again, efforts by Dilma, and Lula, as they face another wave of fascism coming after them again, years after the first.
