Time for Counter-Coups in Latin America? – and Europe?

Time for Counter-Coups in Latin America? – and Europe?

What Happens when the accuser of terrorism are themselves the terrorists? – Namely the supra-national corporations and financial oligarchs acting in their own profit-driven interest, but under the direction of Washington and the protection of the US – NATO killer armies? Fear and confusion happens. Fear is the weapon of choice of the real terrorists, those who make us believe they are spreading and defending democracy. With fear they are subjugating the world to lick their feet – and worse. – But the people are waking up. All over the world. The linear Anglo-Zionist plans, like the PNAC – Plan for a New American Century – are imploding and their rubbles are becoming a dynamic, unpredictable mass-movement against this neoliberal, globalized One-World or New World Order tyranny.

Protesters – in the tens of millions – are in the streets all over the so-called Western World, the western population, oppressed and enslaved by their own elite, the descendants of the past and present odiously nefarious colonialists.

Latin America

In Brazilian cities millions are in the streets protesting against the illegal takeover of the Presidency in defiance of 54 million voters, by a corrupted parliament, and even worse, by vice-President, Michel Temer, who himself is accused of corruption and who would be ineligible to stand for election for any public office in Brazil during at least the next 8 years; and still worse, Michel Temer, who, as just release by WikiLeaks, has been for years a CIA informant. Under any measure of ethics and crime, he is a traitor of his own country. The process of suspending Dilma was driven by another corrupt member of Parliament, then President of the Lower House, Eduardo Cunha, accused of being engaged in a corruption scheme involving Petrobras and at least US$ 40 million in bribes. He has since been removed from his parliamentary position.

Temer is ready to sell Brazil to the money vultures, Wall Street, FED, IMF, World Bank and he has ‘promised’ to privatize vital social and public services, so that the oligarchs get richer and the Brazilians have to fight again for their survival. He has already appointed Mr. Goldfajn as the new President of the Central Bank of Brazil. Goldfajn was chief economist of Brazil’s largest private bank, Itaú; he was a former Vice-Governor of the Bank do Brazil, the largest bank of Latin America, a private bank, though majority controlled by the Government. He also worked for the IMF and the World Bank. He is a good indication of the monetary politics Brazil is going to play during the next 180 days.

This dirty and criminal maneuver to oust the democratically elected Dilma Rousseff has been prepared for years, way before Dilma Rousseff’s overwhelming first election win in 2010, by Brazil’s financial and corporative oligarchs, commanded by the long and bloody fingers of Washington, as has been the case for Latin America during most of the last century – time and again, the installation of right wing military dictators who killed ruthlessly any resistance – resistance to the merciless looting of the riches of Latin America, – the Open Veins of Latin America, as so aptly described in late Eduardo Galeano’s master piece. After a brief interruption of about 30 years, when South America became a vanguard of democracy for the world, the political power game in Washington’s “backyard” seems to regain momentum. Let’s just look at Argentina, Venezuela, Honduras, and Peru, with similar political interference going on also in Ecuador and Bolivia.

There are many reasons to suspect -- and resist - the hands of financial elites in skewing governments rightward.

But I certainly get tired of the "the Jews did it!" explanation from people who should otherwise know better.
