Brazil is currently on high alert amid signs its fascist leader is planning a self coup to despotically seize and retain power. Bolsonaro loyalists have had years of training from Omahas 88 Tactical and US law enforcement.Bolsonaro loyalists employed by 88 Tactical, along with Royce Gracie of the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu empire, declare their allegiance to Bolsonaro as they fire weapons at the Texas training ground owned by an 88 Tactical employee.
What the actual hell is going on with 88 Tactical in Omaha?
Last year I wrote about the businesss persistent interest in Nazi imagery and white supremacy. Now here is something else alarming: 88 Tacticals links to a foreign authoritarian leader, Jair Bolsonaro, who many Brazilians fear is planning a dictatorial takeover of Brazil, perhaps as soon as tomorrow, September 7.
In early 2016, around the time that an infusion of investment funds allowed 88 Tactical to construct the massive fortress that greets all interstate travelers into Omaha from the west with a gigantic Nazi eagle and Nazi code, 88 Tactical also sponsored Eduardo Bolsonaros visit to the Shot Show, a massive firearms expo in Las Vegas.
Eduardo Bolsonaro is the third son of Jair Bolsonaro, the current president of Brazil, who is notorious for his fascistic rule. It is difficult to summarize the damage Bolsonaro has wrought on Brazil, but it includes a wholesale assault on indigenous people and the environment, deep corruption, and total mismanagement of the pandemic.
At the time of this writing, Bolsonaro, who has legions of militia members loyal to him and more armed than ever after he loosened the nations gun laws, is indicating that he will not peacefully cede power if he loses election next year, which polls show is likely. Eduardo, who is currently a legislator, has fascist political leanings, too. Here he is, for example, hanging out with Beatrix von Storch, who is both the granddaughter of Hitlers finance minister and the deputy leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany party.

Eduardo Bolsonaro hanging out with the Trumps at the White House on January 5. MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell also mentions meeting with Bolsonaro that night, which is when Lindell was at the War Council meeting.
Overgrown, morally depraved, brats.
This article should be seen by as many as possible. Utterly disgusting. They are soooo bent.
Thank you, Texas Towelie, for this total eye-opener.

Just hearing about it through your article is still horrifying today, just as much as it was when I saw your post the first time.
It makes a person sick. These people are so diseased. Here's hoping there aren't as many of them as it seems. That would mean a whole lot of evil, crazy dirtbags running wild right now!

(160,217 posts)President uses the September 7th demonstration to go all out on his threats
Sep.8.2021 2:26PM
In speeches before thousands of supporters this Tuesday (7) in Brasília and São Paulo, President Jair Bolsonaro made coup threats against the Federal Supreme Federal Court, urged disobedience against court decisions, and said he would only leave the Presidency dead.
In the morning, on the Esplanade of Ministries, Bolsonaro made a direct threat to the president of the Supreme Court, Minister Luiz Fux. "Either the head of this Power [Fux] frames his [minister] or that Power can suffer what we don't want," he said, referring to Moraes' recent decisions against Bolsonaristas.
Tuesday's actions were dominated by coup speeches by the president and by banners, posters, and authoritarian and undemocratic shouts from his supporters. The Supreme Court was the main target.
In the afternoon, on Avenida Paulista, he urged disobedience to court decisions. "We must, because I speak on your behalf, determine that all political prisoners be set free. Alexandre de Moraes, that president will no longer comply. Our people's patience has already run out," Bolsonaro said. "[I want] to tell the scoundrels that I will never be arrested," said the president, who continued. "Either this minister fits in or he asks to leave. It cannot be admitted that one person, one man, only cloud our freedom."
Still in Paulista, as he has said in speeches in the interior of the country, Bolsonaro stated that the only options for him are to be arrested, to be killed, or to victory, affirming in sequence, however, that he will never be arrested." To say to those who want to make me ineligible in Brasília: only God can get me out of there."

(160,217 posts)The more you think about it, the harder it gets to keep to yourself! I had to send it to a friend tonight, who has no idea at all any of this has happened.
It's starting to appear anyone who is attracted to these people has to be criminally insane. I hope people will take the time to start looking more deeply into how totally dangerous and nasty these fascists really are. Thank you.

(160,217 posts)by major outlets if there were any decent journalists with the courage it takes to get the truth to the people who vote these clowns into office, laboring under a load of delusion.
So much has been discovered and covered in the articles it's plain to see the hard, hard work involved in rooting it out, finding the substance which had been completely buried by our own bogus news organizations, because Bolsonaros are so eager to serve US big money interests.
This is not ordinary corruption, it's vicious, murderous, cold, hard, ruthless corruption with every intention of gobbling up everything in sight, killing everyone in the road.
Thanks, again, will be interested in learning all I can about what these greedy idiots in the Americas are doing to aid the US power-mad fascists get even more powerful.
P.S.: It drives me mad seeing that photo of the angelic Ivanka with her Christmas demon standing next to probably Flavio Bolsonaro. The whole danged family is involved!
