Turmoil in Brazil

[Bill Ryan]

I was waiting for this, for Pepe Escobar to talk with Nima Alkhorshid (who is Iranian but who lives and works in Brazil as a University Professor) about the Brazilian election.

At the start of this new livestream, Pepe reports that it's all over the Argentinian media that Flavio Bolsonaro has fled Brazil, first crossing the border to Argentina using his ID (though his passport had been canceled), where a small private Gulfstream jet was waiting to fly him to Miami. But so far, it seems he's not been able to leave Argentina.

(I checked online, and news stories are just starting to appear about this in the mainstream.)

An update on the above, also from Pepe at the start of his new video with Judge Napolitano a few hours ago.

Bolsonaro did cross into Argentina, but the Gulfstream jet mentioned above was a decoy. Instead, he boarded another jet which flew him out of Argentina with the full co-operation of the Argentinian authorities, in what Pepe describes as a classic CIA extraction.

It's confirmed by everyone now that he's in the US, his wife and two daughters having fled with him, and they've all been granted visas by the Trump administration.

Exiles can speak where Brazilian court orders have less reach and so Balsonaro coming to America does not necessarily mean he's surrendered. Lula may soon discover that driving his opponent out of Brazil didn't silence his opposition, it globalized it.

The election may be over, but the struggle is only beginning.

Naturally,when the "right" do not win,is always "fishy"...

But,just noise... next to fall is the Argentinian Zionist gusano in next elections...

And then Argentina and Brazil together cleaning South America from ALL of them!

Bolsonaro Jr. fled to the US and declared himself “leader of Brazil.” His open letter in Portuguese spelled Brazil with a Z and featured an outdated 1889 coat of arms reading “Estados Unidos do Brazil.” Discussed this and more with

Beautifully articulated.

The whole Global South now wants to know how the Brazilian working class picked the lock and opened the digital cage built by techno-feudalism.

The New Yorker, is now interested to study the Brazilian working class. They look at André Janones and "Lula’s Army" and call it a "tech-savvy" miracle that reversed the far-right surge.

But they are missing the profound civilizational shift that just took place.

Let us look at the material reality of those three weeks between the first and second rounds.

For years, the empire and the domestic oligarchs treated the internet as their private property. They used Silicon Valley algorithms, dark money, and decentralized right-wing troll farms to isolate, exhaust, and manipulate the public.

When Flávio Bolsonaro took the lead in the first round, the left didn't just buy better ads. André Janones digitized the physical solidarity of the streets. He organized millions of ordinary Brazilians into "Lula’s Army," synchronizing their messaging to manually overpower the algorithm.

The strategy was so devastatingly effective that the Global North is now begging the Global South for the blueprint. Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has requested Janones’s help, and in France, activists are studying "Janonisme" to fight the far-right.

Why is the institutional media in New York and Paris suddenly looking to a Brazilian politician to learn how to survive the digital age?

Because for a decade, the empire believed the working class was too atomized and too exhausted to fight back online. They thought the digital realm was permanently locked behind algorithms controlled by right-wing billionaires.

But Brazil proved a beautiful, undeniable truth: when ordinary people—the nurses, the bus drivers, the students—synchronize their dignity, no algorithm can contain them. The left didn't just "hack" a social media platform; they broke the empire's digital enclosure.

The Global North spent billions building a digital cage for the world.

But the Brazilian working class just figured out how to pick the lock, and now the rest of the world is asking them for the key. https://x.com/AndreJanonesMG/status/...175103/photo/1
