A Lula da Silva win could mean a blow to US ambitions and more relevance for Brazil on the world stage

Brazil's much-watched presidential election this year concluded its first round on Monday, revealing some expected and also surprising results. The largest country and economy in South America, the results of the final election on October 30 will have deep consequences for the fate of the region and the world.

To sum up what's happening in a nutshell, the country's far-right President Jair Bolsonaro is slated to go against former leftist president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. They both represent radically different programs, with Bolsonaro's Liberal Party (PL) representing a pro-corporate and socially conservative agenda while Lula's Workers' Party (PT) - the most powerful party in Brazil before Bolsonaro's ascendance - is pro-worker and more socially liberal.

Comment: Unfortunately, Brazil's presidential election is being overshadowed by the same shenanigans that plagued the U.S. 2020 election.No good can come of this.

Best of the Web: Ukraine's revenge on the West

Vector politics in Ukraine has added new dimensions to the 222 day-old conflict.

Typically, any conflict behavior should end when a new balance of powers has been determined. But the 'balancing of powers' will not end until a balance is actually achieved - and evidence abounds that Ukraine is about to enter yet another 're-balancing.'

Russian Duma's ratification of the annexation of four regions of Ukraine (Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions), and the adoption of the relevant laws thereof, creates a new dynamic and will take some time to create a new balance of forces on the ground within Ukraine.

Comment: Well, the 2014 coup in Ukraine was concocted and backed by the US, to, at least in part, provide the US establishment with the levers to control, and if necessary, collapse Europe; as well as to provide the staging ground for the West's inevitable and eventual attempts to destroy Russia. That said, it is clear that the puppets in Ukraine will want their revenge should Europe not submit to their demands.

'This is not the first time US commits an act of gas terrorism' - Russian Security Council Secretary

In 1983, the USA blew up a gas pipeline in a port of Nicaragua, said Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolay Patrushev on October 5 at a security meeting in Crimea.

The pipeline was blown up by CIA saboteurs. The USA refused to participate in legal proceedings, and it avoided accountability in spite of a UN Court decision which it vetoed.

In the Nord Stream situation, it is the USA that benefits from the subversive attack, and the explosion is an act of international terrorism, Patrushev stressed.

United nations partners with Google to silence climate skeptics

A United Nations representative revealed her globalist organization had partnered with Google to prioritize messages underscoring the gravity of the climate crisis.

Melissa Fleming, the U.N.'s Under-Secretary for Global Communications, said at a Sept. 29 World Economic Forum (WEF) event the U.N. is working with Google to "elevate the content."
"You know, we partnered with Google, for example, if you Google climate change, you will, at the top of your search, get all kinds of U.N. resources," Ms. Fleming declared. "We started this partnership when we were shocked to see that when we Googled climate change, we were getting incredibly distorted information right at the top."

"So we're becoming much more proactive," she continued. "You know, we own the science and we think that the world should know it and the platforms themselves also do."

"But again, it's a huge, huge challenge that I think all sectors of society need to be very active in," she said.

Comment: Now they publicly admit it. They don't even hide it anymore. They must believe that people are enough brainwashed so they will accept anything that these psychopaths present to them.


Fleming said that the problem of disinformation "exploded with COVID-19" and required a concerted effort to make sure the right messages get through.


Comment: Yes , she is right. The disinformation exploded with Covid, but from their side, when they decided to make a huge worldwide propaganda and disinformation campaign about the virus, then against the cheap drugs that were able to cure the virus and at last the promotion of the experimental and dangerous mRNA vaccines that killed and disabled millions of people. Even now people are dying as a consequence of the massive genocidal "vaccination" program.

So, yes, the problem of disinformation "exploded with COVID-19" and now we know who did it.


As social media platforms became more dominant, she said, there was "a proliferation of mis- and disinformation that was making achieving what we were trying to achieve — a better world, and a more inclusive, a more peaceful and harmonious world — it was making it more difficult."

Comment: It is typical psychopathic behaviour. They are accusing people who dare to speak up against disinformation and lies, when it is a projection of their own behaviour. A global manipulation, with propaganda, lies and media puppets who speak in the name of "science."

Trump asks Supreme Court to review documents seized in FBI's sketchy Mar-a-lago raid

Former US President Donald Trump has called on the Supreme Court to evaluate a tranche of documents seized from his home by federal law enforcement, hoping to reverse a ruling by a lower judge which denied any independent review of the allegedly classified papers.

Trump filed an emergency appeal in the nation's highest court on Tuesday, asking justices to overturn a recent decision by a federal appeals court, which insisted the documents in question are, in fact, classified and belong to the government, rather than a former commander in chief.

Best of the Web: Patrick Lawrence: The strong, and the merely powerful

Vladimir Putin's speech from the Kremlin last Friday, delivered to the nation and the world as four regions of Ukraine were reintegrated into Russia, was another stunner, in line with numerous others he's made this year, demonstrating a fundamental turn in the Russian president's thinking over the past eight months.

The implications of this new perspective warrant careful consideration. Putin has taken to looking forward and seeing something new, and in this he is hardly alone.

"The world has entered a period of a fundamental, revolutionary transformation," Putin said while standing beside the leaders of the Luhansk and Donetsk republics and the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. Phrases such as this bear the weight of history. By way of magnitude, presidential speeches do not get any larger. Here is how the Russian leader expanded on the thought:
"New centers of power are emerging. They represent the majority — the majority! — of the international community. They are ready not only to declare their interests but also to protect them. They see in multipolarity an opportunity to strengthen their sovereignty, which means gaining genuine freedom, historical prospects, and the right to their own independent, creative, and distinctive forms of development, to a harmonious process."

The United States declares war on Russia, Germany, the Netherlands and France

While the international press treats the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines as a news item, we analyze it as an act of war against Germany and the European Union. Indeed, the three gas supply routes to Western Europe have been cut off simultaneously, while at the same time a new gas pipeline has been opened to Poland.

Just as Mikhail Gorbachev saw in the Chernobyl disaster the inevitable break-up of the USSR, so we believe that the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines marks the beginning of the economic collapse of the Union.

The United States' fight to maintain its global hegemony has reached its third stage.

After the expansion of Nato to the East in violation of Western commitments not to station US weapons in Central Europe, Russia, which cannot defend its huge borders, is under direct threat.

In violation of its World War II commitments, Washington has put "hardcore nationalists" ("Nazis" in Kremlin terminology) in power in Kiev. They banned their Russian-speaking compatriots from speaking their native language, deprived them of public services, and ultimately bombed those in the Donbass. Russia had no choice but to intervene militarily to put an end to their ordeal.

The third round is the authoritarian change of energy supply to Western and Central Europe. On the same day, the Baltic Pipeline came into operation, the two Nord Stream pipelines were shut down, while the maintenance of Turkish Stream was interrupted.

It's only a 'conspiracy theory' when it accuses the US government

The western political/media class has been dismissing as "conspiracy theories" all claims that the US is likely responsible for last month's sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, even while leveling the exact same accusations against Russia without ever using that term. Which probably says a lot about the way that label has been used over the years, if you think about it.

At a UN Security Council meeting on Friday, US envoy Richard Mills repeatedly accused Russia of promoting "conspiracy theories" in its Nord Stream accusations against the United States, saying:
"Our Russian colleagues have decided to instrumentalize the Security Council meeting to spread conspiracy theories and disinformation. It's important that we use this meeting not to foster conspiracy theories, but to focus our attention on Russia's blatant violation of the Charter and its crimes in Ukraine. The United States categorically denies any involvement in this incident and there is no justification for the Russian delegation raising conspiracy theories and mass disinformation in this Council."
Mills then hilariously spends the remainder of his remarks insinuating that it is actually Russia who perpetrated the attacks, mentioning the word "infrastructure" no less than nine times in his arguments to establish that in Ukraine, Russia has a history of attacking critical civilian infrastructure similar to the pipelines.

Zelenskiy claims gains in southern Ukraine as Biden pledges $625M in military aid

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says his forces have made "rapid and powerful" gains in southern Ukraine and recaptured "dozens" of villages from Russia this week.

"The Ukrainian Army is quite rapidly and powerfully advancing in the south," Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address on October 4. He said some of the territory was taken back in the regions of Kherson, Luhansk, and Donetsk -- three of four regions of Ukraine where referendums that Kyiv and the West denounced as a "sham" were held last month on joining Russia.

Zelenskiy cited eight settlements in the southern Kherson region where Moscow's forces had retreated in the face of a sweeping Ukrainian counteroffensive. And he said the eight settlements were "far from the full list."

Zelenskiy made the claim as maps revealed by Moscow on October 4 showed that Russian troops had left many areas in Kherson, including along the west bank of the Dnieper River. The Moscow-appointed deputy head of the Kherson region told residents there was no reason to panic.

Kirill Stremousov said "our artillery and fighter jets are hitting enemy forces that enter the sovereign territory of Russia." Neither side's claims could be independently verified.

Comment: 'Money don't buy you love'...neither does using another country to accomplish a sinister agenda.
To resume peace talks with Kiev, Moscow will wait for either a change of stance by the current Ukrainian president or for a new leader, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. This comes after President Zelensky signed a decree ruling out negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Even before the launch of Russia's military operation in Ukraine in late February, Moscow "was the supporter of the idea of achieving the terms put forward by the Russian side through diplomatic means," Peskov told journalists on Tuesday.

Russia is still ready to look for a negotiated solution to the conflict between the neighbors:
"It takes two parties to negotiate. We'll now be waiting for the current president to change his stance or for the arrival of the future president of Ukraine, who would change his position in the interests of the Ukrainian people,"
In his speech on Friday, Putin called upon Ukraine to "cease all hostilities, stop the war it started back in 2014 and return to the negotiating table."

However, he made it clear that the decision to unite with Russia, which the people of Donbass, Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions made during referendums, was not up for discussion. Kiev should treat the "free choice" of the four territories "with respect," Putin said, adding that it was "the only way for peace."
