The World for People who Think
Puppet Masters
Comment: The fix is clearly in on this one: whatever about the overall corruption findings of the 'Car Wash' investigations - which has played out like Brazil's 'Russiagate' - former president Lula da Silva has clearly been dragged into it in order to prevent his re-election later this year.

Just the other day sott.net published an article about a Brazilian diplomat threatened by John Bolton for opposing the ilegal invasion of Iraq, remember? Bustani is his name. He was acting under Lula's order. Also, Lula brought Brazil diplomatically and economically closer to Russia and China and helped create the BRICS. The current (coup) government is doing the opposite.
