Lula won the first round of Presidential Elections by over 6 million votes.
But the MSM buzz is that he’s losing big time and will crash out in the second round.
Never mind that the Workers Party swept the board in the poor north east, the largely black coast and nearly all the indigenous Amazon.
Never mind that women and blacks support Lula to stop sexist and racist discrimination, repression and death squads and rescue LGBTQI rights
Bolsonaro and Sons are the political wing of Brazilian Death Squads ..and were directly linked to the police murder of Rio City Council Councilor and popular feminist politician Marielle Franco
In 2018 Bolsonaro grabbed power with a hysterical populist media campaign, planned partly by top US PR agencies, aided by the far right Pentecostal and conservative Protestants with their 24 hour TV stations, plus an army of internet bots, mainly Twitter and WhatsApp.
All it takes is to find a few Lula supporters, among tens of millions, and pay or coerce them to admit the worst crimes imaginable and flood the media with their stories 24/7.. and BINGO.. 4 more years on the Gravy Train and a new Bonanza to ‘extract’ Brazil’s resources for US corporations, enslave the workers, annihilate the Amazon, and impose forever a fascist militarized political system.

How false claims about Brazil’s election are spreading from far-right US circles
Bannon, who along with other Trump allies has developed close ties with Bolsonaro’s mafia style family, has long pushed the idea of election fraud in Brazil and the upcoming US elections.
Baseless claims that voting machines made by Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic are being used to rig voting in Brazil are circulating online and in far-right media in the U.S. – even though neither company’s hardware or software is being used in the current election there.
The Fact Check site https://politica.estadao.com is debunking over 30 public hoaxes regarding voting procedures, while the media and 24 hour Church TV stations spew constant propaganda.
Brazil is an emerging society which suffered hundreds of years of colonialist and militarist complete poverty and semi slavery. It was the Workers Party, led by the lowly Lula, which broke the mould, and introduced basic rights.. to food, health, womens rights and education. Now US style rightwing populism is in power, and Bolsonaro has repeatedly threatened military takeover if Lula can still win.
Conspiracy theories about Brazil’s electronic voting machines, shown here, have spread online. Far-right influencers in the U.S. have seized on Brazil’s election as a way of keeping conspiratorial narratives alive ahead of the U.S. midterms in early .
Bolsonaro has spent months alleging Brazil’s elections are rigged and saying electronic voting machines can’t be trustedNovember.

And if Bolsonaro WINS?
This election will change Brazil and the world. It’s not just about one man or party. The major section of corrupt deputies and many parties are committed to supporting whoever is the new President.
In the balance is the key future of the Amazonia climate tipping point
In the balance is the direction of the BRICS alliance and the future of the campaign for a multipolar world future.
In the balance is the end of Bosonaro’s canpaign of extreme racism, poverty, misogyny and neo-liberalist resource looting…

….(by Bradley Blankenship…) “Bolsonaro has been a steadfast supporter of Uncle Sam’s imperialistic ambitions in the region, even earning Brazil the designation of “non-NATO ally” from the West’s foremost military alliance.
The far-right president has been a key player in the US-led efforts to oust Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

He has also supported US multinational corporations in their efforts to destroy and commercialize the land of the Amazon Rainforest. Lula looks set to kneecap all of this.
For the world, the return of the leftist president also has serious implications.
For example, Brazil led the global charge in rebuilding Iraq after the American invasion.
Lula also helped to found BRICS (an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) in 2009, then called only BRIC before South Africa joined in 2010.
The group’s aim from the outset was to get developing countries more involved in international affairs and to reform financial institutions whilst improving the global economic situation, which at that time was marred by the financial crisis of 2007-08.
One key issue for BRICS even to this day is developing alternatives to Western-controlled and abused global finance, which was initially sparked by US mismanagement of the global economy as the world’s financial center and is now largely owed to Washington’s unilateral sanctions against many countries.
This is a hugely important discussion that, if Lula wins, would benefit greatly from Brazil’s renewed effort.
Anyone who cares about Brazil’s future should be, as she said, “cautiously hopeful” about this election and a potential Lula victory….”
