Report: Deep State Used USAID to Oust Bolsonaro from Brazil

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) spent tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer funds to oust Jair Bolsonaro from power in Brazil.

According to journalist Mike Benz, USAID spent US taxpayer money to crush populist leaders and stifle free speech on the internet:

It was USAID that spent tens of millions of dollars of American taxpayer money funding the push to get anti misinformation bills passed in the parliament there. Funding the legal advocates who pushed the censorship court there, the TSE, to crack down on Bolsonaro. tweets and WhatsApp and Telegram messages.

They built a censorship octopus in Brazil and it was built entirely on USAID because USAID declared Bolsonaro a populist, Trump of the tropics, and then set up this operation to control the information ecosystem there. One of the USAID grantees even said on a public call that the purpose was to eliminate the, uh, the international exchange of ideas between the Trump movement and the Bolsonaro movement.

That’s what USAID does. They kill domestic populism because it gets in the way of their foreign policy goals.”

Revolver.news reports: Think about it: USAID ousting Bolsonaro and ensuring a Lula victory gave China the boost they needed in the region, and did absolutely nothing for the United States – all it did was advance the toxic left-wing agenda.

You can watch the entire bombshell interview below:

And Mike’s observations are backed up completely by this left-leaning article from last year, which lays out the Biden regime’s all-out coup d’état agenda to take down Bolsonaro.

Foreign Policy:

[…] the Biden administration mounted a sustained pressure campaign aimed at Brazil’s military, which began as early as 2021. The effort, as first reported in Folha de São Paulo and also covered by Foreign Policy, involved explicit public warnings by U.S. senators about not respecting election results as well as continuous back-channel conversations to make clear that a democratic rupture would leave Brazil isolated on the international stage—and lead to a downgrade of U.S.-Brazil security cooperation, which is highly valued by Brazil’s military establishment.

The campaign involved the U.S. White House, State Department, CIA, Senate, and—notably—the Pentagon. In retrospect, including that last agency may have been the Biden administration’s most decisive move. U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was employed as Biden’s chief public emissary to Brazil’s generals. It was a natural choice given the tense relationship between Biden and Bolsonaro, the latter of whom followed Trump’s lead in parroting falsehoods about supposed fraud during the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Austin was also a more credible interlocutor since Brazil’s military was the intended target of the U.S. campaign.

The sheer number of U.S. actors involved in the campaign meant that, for much of 2022, many Brazilian government officials visiting Washington received an unambiguous message from the U.S. government about the need for Brazil’s military officers to respect the electoral process. Shortly before Brazil’s election, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution calling on Brazil to ensure the vote is “conducted in a free, fair, credible, transparent, and peaceful manner.” In order to minimize the risk of a coup, Biden, along with numerous Western allies, publicly congratulated Lula for his victory in the hours after the official results were made public.

Honestly, the Bolsonaro scheme alone is reason enough to shut down USAID for good—but there are plenty more reasons on the table. The reality is this: USAID looks like nothing more than a slush fund for the intelligence community—a taxpayer-funded cookie jar used to spread left-wing, globalist influence and propaganda around the world. It’s time to kill this program and launch a full-blown investigation.
