The unhinged Brazilian Supreme Court has formed a majority to convict Bolsonaro in the ‘Witch-Hunt’.
To the surprise of absolutely no one, the majority of a Brazilian Supreme Court five-member panel voted today to convict former President Jair Bolsonaro of manufactured charges for ‘planning to overturn the country’s 2022 election’, in a January 8 2023 copycat plot that very much resembles the J6 prosecutions hoax in the US.
Donald J. Trump and many other political leaderships, both in the US, Brazil and Europe, have denounced the current trial as a ‘witch hunt’, and the American administration has sanctioned several Supreme Court justices, especially rogue tyrannical judge Alexandre de Moraes, struck by the Magnitsky act.
While there was no one armed in the January 8 riot, the ‘victim’ and judge at the same time Moraes concocted an absurd narrative that suggests a plot to assassinate the leftist president Lula da Silva to hang on to power.
CNN reported:
“The decision in the landmark case became apparent on Thursday when the third judge of the panel determined that Bolsonaro was guilty of all five counts he faced.”
The real surprise came with the long and crushing vote by Justice Luiz Fux, who voted for complete clearing of Bolsonaro of all accusations, and demolished, point by point, the absurd charges filed by the Brazilian government.
“Bolsonaro has been charged with plotting a coup d’état, taking part in an armed criminal organization, attempting to abolish Brazil’s democratic order by force, committing violent acts against state institutions and damaging protected public property during the storming of government buildings by his supporters on January 8, 2023.”
(There were no armed combatants in the J8 riot, no one in the Brazilian armed forces took up arms against the government, and while there was some minor vandalism, there was no link between that and any orders by the former President.)
But the CNN report uncritically repeats the Lula da Silva administration narrative, such as:
“Part of the coup plot, prosecutors alleged, involved a plan to potentially use explosives, weapons of war or poison to assassinate leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, his Vice President Geraldo Alckmin and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who oversaw Bolsonaro’s trial.”
(This is all absurd to the max, but they unwittingly admit that Moraes is at once ‘victim’ and judge – a complete legal monstrosity.)
Prosecutors allege that the coup plot began a year before the election in 2021, with ‘efforts to undermine public trust in the electoral system’. You know what he did? He criticized the electoral machines from Venezuela’s Smartmatic – that everyone knows are easy to tamper with.
But the former president is still the strongest political force in Brazil by a country mile: A few days ago, on September 7th, Brazilian Independence Day, Bolsonaro’s supporters congregated in all major Brazilian cities in the millions, while Lula da Silva participated in the parade in the Capital Brasilia with literally no popular presence – only a few hundred members of the administration and paid shills from leftist Unions.
The decision by the Supreme Court panel can – and will – be appealed.
