Brazil : Immediate aftermath to the elections – but first, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LULA!

The Brazilian election still leaves me stunned. It was a crushing victory!  You know who we won against? LULA and Brazil won against the US meddling, against the Israeli meddling, against the criminal and Epstein class, against the Meta Meddlers, Brazil won for Brazil, and for the region which is clear if one looks at the congratulatory messages.

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum congratulated incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on his reelection in Brazil on Sunday.

“Long live democracy, it is the Brazilian people who have won. Congratulations, President Lula!”

Brazilians won this election in their streets.  And finally, Brazil and LULA won for the world.

Ollie Vargas has a specific and non-complicated flair with words and he said:  “People are celebrating right now in Buenos Aires. Lula’s crushing victory against US intervention has boosted the morale of social movements across the whole region.

Daniel Ortega, Nicaragua

The fight is back on everywhere.”  He continued:  “Two of the greatest to ever do it. They’ve won 4 & 5 elections respectively, despite huge US intervention. Both came from the trenches of social struggle before taking office, both managed to maintain coalition unity (splits have been the downfall of many left parties in LatAm)”

Brazil won for Brazil, for the region and for the world.   But first, Brazil won for Brazil and we all know that this is not the end of the story as Latin America and the Caribbean has been claimed by the still current hegemon as “their hemisphere” having ‘Donroed’ the very old Monroe doctrine.

This is the aspect that Colin Maxwell wrote about here, not too many days ago.

Brazil – Two Roads, One Sovereignty

Today is LULA’s birthday and we congratulate him.  I was looking for an English history and found that not even Wikipedia could denounce him.  Oh, you will find the usual western tropes but what you also will find, is that LULA learned to read only when he was 10 years old.  And then, he started working after the second year at school.  This is the history that the Brazilians know and they understand why LULA worked hard for education, and for poverty relief for the Brazilian people.  Read it.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luiz_In%C3%A1cio_Lula_da_Silva

You will also find stories from the time that Iran still stoned women, and LULA intervening offering to move the woman that they wanted to stone for adultery, to Brazil.

Following are a few Brian Mier comments post-election just after Flavio Bolsonaro accepted the election results. Yes, he stopped the ‘stop the steal’ initiative as his father ended up in jail because of a similar initiative and his brother is still in Florida and cannot possibly return to Brazil.

"We are not a colony. We are a fortress of progressive democracy in Latin America, a democracy committed to social justice, dignity and fighting crime by appropriate means,” says Celso Amorim. https://t.co/uZuXbziIC8

3 things "stop the steal" goons aren’t telling you about Brazil’s elections: 1) Bolsonaro also requested the voting centers stay open for 2 extra hours yesterday; 2) Jair Bolsonaro-nominated Electoral Court President Kassio Nunes has officially recognized the election results…+ https://t.co/PeOKWTMX6C

Takeways from Lula’s historic victory against Bolsonaro, the Trump govt and the Silicon Valley tech bros: 1) Catholics still outnumber evangelicals by 2:1 in Brazil; 2) Bolsonaro’s 20 year history with Rio’s organized crime groups made his "tough on crime" narrative hard to sell+ https://t.co/EL0G4OJxho

3) Grass roots street organizing held off the Silicon Valley algorithm manipulation; and 4) Despite the “poor conservative” narrative Brazil’s working class and remains Lula’s largest support demographic by a long shot.
