Looks a bit to me like global oligarchs ... Musk, Putin, Murdoch, etc ... are working to take over social/traditional media ... in the largest countries on the five continents. USA in North America. Brazil in South America. Russia in Europe. China in Asia. South Africa and Australia in Africa. Not precisely correlated geographically, but you catch my drift.

What’s bothering me is that Brazilians, Americans, Portuguese bolsonaristas? (it’s a thing), Russians (probably) were involved- but did they all have the same goals?

And did someone (the Florida mob) get what they wanted (a new problem for Joe Biden)? Bolsonaro entered on an A-1 visa reserved for heads of state, on an official plane. His security service was waiting for him in Florida even though his destination was kept secret. He needs to be sent packing asap. France welcomed former dictators like Mobutu (don’t be like France).

This is fabulous work Jim, thank you. I wish the topic was less fucked up but it is what it is. Elon shutting down Twitter moderation in Brazil clearly contributed to this. Bannon and others consulting Bolsonaro too, obviously these jerks are in league.

How long before the world wakes up to the fact we are in a global struggle, a world war, Liberality vs Authoritarianism, decency vs Fascism. Putin and his boys as they terrorize Ukraine vs everyone that doesn’t want to live under tyranny.

How do we amplify your reporting?

What can we do to get the law enforced against these bozos?

Just noting a little typo, Jim. The pic with Lindell is the son Eduardo, not the former president, Jair.
