Conta paródia do Lendário Russo!

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Yes, the new hero of the Brazilian left, and increasingly the international left, social media guru André Janones:

- has a 2025 restraining order against him under Brazil's anti-domestic-violence law because his ex-girlfriend, mayor of a mid-sized town, accused him of emotional abuse and blackmail and the court found sufficient evidence to bar him from proximity or communications with her (Believe Women).

- was caught on tape forcing his employees in his Congressional office to transfer a portion of their monthly salary to him, denied everything but then admitted guilt when the recordings of him emerged, and was forced to pay the amounts back to avoid prison (Workers' Rights).

- published a book boasting of his use of Fake News to help Lula win in 2022 at the same time Supreme Court judges aligned with the left were censoring and imprisoning Lula's critics (and their own) in the name of combating disinformation (anti-Fake-News).

Eh, nobody's perfect, and political movements can't be expected to have principles if they want power. At the end of the day, what's a little domestic abuse and theft from employees in the scheme of things? 🤷‍♂️

One more amazing thing about Brazil and Lula's campaign:

The NYT today has a gushing profile of a Congressman named @AndreJanonesMG, who became the face of Lula's campaign, its chief communication strategist. and -- as a result of admittedly innovative though extremely creepy digital strategies -- the greatest hero of the Brazilian left. But listen to what the article doesn't mention:

Just 2 years ago -- not 20 years ago or 10 years ago, but 2 years ago -- Janones got caught committing one of the most despicable crimes imaginable: he forced his Congressional staff employees to transfer a portion of their (quite low) monthly public salary to him as a condition for keeping their jobs. The money he stole from his workers didn't go to his campaign: it just went to enrich himself, into his pocket,.

He got caught when the employees secretly taped him angrily telling them they should stop complaining. When all this emerged, the left-wing members of Congress loyal to Lula -- who, remember, claims to lead a movement of workers! The name of Lula's party is the Workers Party -- protected him from all consequences from stealing the salary of his workers.

The pro-Lula judiciary let Janones confess guilt and simply pay back the money that he stole. And yet this doesn't bother anyone on the Brazilian left. Janones has become a beloved figure overnight among left-wing celebrities and is now one of Lula's closest allies. The NYT profile doesn't even mention this in their gushing profile.

In the scheme of Brazil's authoritarianism, it's not the biggest issue, but to me it's one of the most revealing about what frauds these people are:

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

To say that Alexandre de Moraes is an authoritarian tyrant who has repeatedly abused his power to censor, arrrest and otherwise persecute both his critics and Bolsonaro supporters -- or to say that Moraes himself is more implicated in the Banco Master scandal than anyone and thus should not be judging anyone, particularly given that he deleted his own messages when Vorcaro was asking him when he should flee Brazil to escape arrest and justice -- is not to say that Flavio Bolsonaro is innocent. These are completely separate and unrelated points.

And this is not a complicated point. It's exactly the same as the point I made about Lava Jato: the fact that there were serious irregularities in Lula's prosecution (in my view) did not mean and does mean that Lula was innocent of the numerous corruption charges he faced.

The key point in all of this: there is no legitimate Brazilian democracy or credible Brazilian justice while Moraes remains at the center of the most consequential decisions. Until Moraes himself is aggressively investigated for the R$ 200 million his family got from Vorcaro and the messages he deleted, anything involving Moraes -- including his seizure of Flavio Bolsonaro's passport and his order not to leave the country -- is a complete farce and travesty.

Sim sim devia ter ficado aqui e encarado todos os processos, afinal nosso judiciário é isento, imparcial, apartidario e sem viés ideológico.

Deixa eu falar, isso daqui é estatisticamente impossível. Quer dizer que em 939 cidades Flavio Bolsonaro teve menos votos no segundo turno do que no primeiro. Significa dizer, que ele convenceu zero pessoas a votarem nele e ainda perdeu votos. https://t.co/mvZdQYPLYb

[El Trumpista @ElTrumpista]

Hay 106 urnas donde Bolsonaro tuvo 0 votos, en esas Lula sumó 14.860 votos

Hay 125 urnas donde Bolsonaro tuvo 1 voto, en esas Lula sumó 15.408 votos

Hay 163 urnas donde Bolsonaro tuvo 2 votos, en esas Lula sumó 18.832 votos

Raro, por lo menos. Fuente: TSE

[André Luiz VBTR @andrevbt]

Alexandre de Moraes e Flávio Dino cometeram um tremendo erro político.

Como expliquei semanas atrás no meu blog, Flávio Bolsonaro é o típico político de "esquemas", a imagem perfeita da Alerj.

Mas ao pedirem o passaporte dele SETE minutos depois do resultado da eleição e abrirem um inquérito pra 'investigar interferência estrangeira", escancararam até pros mais inocentes a retaliação e a intenção de reforçar o poder da Corte.

Independente do que surgir em possíveis quebras de sigilo de Flávio, a leitura será de perseguição política. A existência de um Inquérito não implica em retenção de passaporte. Ainda mais sem qualquer justificativa pública e minutos depois de um polêmico segundo turno.

Moraes e Dino deram a Trump o que ele queria. Justificativa sólida para chantagear o Brasil com apoio de uma massa enorme de eleitores convictos da existência de uma juristocracia.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

If the leading opponents of the government are faced with the choice of either fleeing the country or being imprisoned, does that mean the country is tyrannical and authoritairan?

It all depends on whether we like the ideology of the government or not.

[zel 🐨 @zel_oficial]

Flávio Bolsonaro ganhou 11 votos em Araruama (RJ), enquanto Lula teve 5.581 votos de um turno para o outro.

Em 2022, Bolsonaro recebeu cerca de 4.500 votos, contra 1.300 do Lula.

Qualquer pessoa de boa-fé que analise esses dados vai, no mínimo, questionar essa discrepância.

Ninguém confia plenamente que as eleições no Brasil foram legítimas. Nem os eleitores do Lula. Eles só não se importam.

kkkkk

Quantos mais cidades eu abro no TSE, mais evidente fica.

Quem acredita que lula pegou todas os nulos, abstençoes e mais 8/7 de cada 10 da terceira via é UMA CRIANÇA de 3 anos na idade mental kkk

[Cezar Augusto Moreira @CezarAugustoMo5]

Rapaz!!!! Tiveram 2 horas pra descarregar a apuração das urnas e qdo viram que Flávio havia ganho, inverteram o destinatário real..Trocaram Flávio por Lula.
O resultado foi exatamente o que a Veritá mostrou invertido.

51,56% Flávio
48,44% Lula

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

For those who decided to invent some bizarre new authoritarian law-and-order rule today to justify Moraes' ban on Bolsonaro leaving the country -- that if you're under investigation (without even being charged), it's normal to have your passport seized -- please note:

Lula's son is engulfed in several major financial scandals and investigations relating to lobbyist corruption. His passport has never been seized or cancelled. In fact, he left Brazil to go live in extreme luxury in Spain (in the same neighborhood where several of the world's highest-paid soccer players live), where nobody can explain the source of what appears to be his great wealth.

Countless rich and powerful people in Brazil, including Lula's allies, are under investigation yet freely leave the country when they want: jetting off to Dubai, France, wherever. Truly bizarre how some on the left start fabricating extremist police powers when it suits them.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Brazilian authorities and media are trying to find out where Flavio Bolsonaro is.

Brazil's notorious authoritarian Judge Alexandre de Moraes -- before the votes were counted -- already had an order prepared to seize Bolsonaro's passports and bar him from leaving the country even though **he's been charged with no crime** (there are various pending financial investigations). Moraes signed the order barring Bolsonaro from leaving Brazil SEVEN MINUTES after Lula was declared the winner on Sunday night.

A media outlet in Argentina this morning reported that Bolsonaro entered Argentina to fly to the US. His friends and allies deny this, but Flavio could easily just appear in Brazil or even by video and has not done so. Argentina is being sketchy, evasive and somewhat uncooperative with Brazil's federal police (Lula and Milei are obviously not allies).

Whatever else is true, it is not exactly a sign of a healthy, normal or functioning democracy when the candidate who narrowly loses a presidential race -- and concedes defeat -- is suddenly barred from leaving the country by a Supreme Court Judge now globally notorious for censoring, imprisoning and otherwise persecuting his critics and opponents of Lula's government. It is also worth noting that Bolsonaro's party dominates the Senate, having run on a vow to impeach Moraes, and this is seen by many as a kind of leverage/hostage ploy by Moraes to cling to power.

[Roger Rocha Moreira @roxmo]

Aparentemente, ignorei minhas próprias palavras e acreditei que pudéssemos transformar o Brasil num país melhor, com mais progresso, educação e fartura para todos. Meu mundo vai bem. Vou cuidar de minha vida. Sugiro que façam o mesmo. Quem sabe o castigo ensine.

O Flávio do segundo turno perde para o Flávio do primeiro turno?
