Latest Themed Revolution: the Yellow Duck Revolution in Brazil
Texto: The latest
themed revolution concocted by the Central Intelligence Agency’s «soft power»
agents in the Brazilian federal and state legislatures, corporate media, and
courts and prosecutors’ offices – all spurred on with the financial help of
George Soros’s nongovernmental organizations – is the «Yellow Duck Revolution».
Large inflatable
yellow ducks – said to represent the economic «quackery» of President Dilma
Rousseff and her Workers’ Party government – have appeared at US-financed
street demonstrations in Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro, and Sao Paulo. The main
coordinators of these protests are found in Brazil’s largest corporate
federations and corporate-owned media conglomerates and all of them have links
to domestic non-profit organizations like Vem Pra Rua (To the Street) – a
typical Soros appellation – and Free Brazil Movement, in turn funded by the
usual suspects of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), US Agency for
International Development (USAID), and Soros’s Open Society Institute.
After trying to
mount an electoral defeat of Brazil's progressive leftist president, Dilma
Rousseff, through a combination of presidential candidate assassination (the
aerial assassination of Eduardo Campos in 2014 to pave the way to the
presidency for the Wall Street-owned Green candidate Marina Silva, Campos’s
vice presidential running mate), «rent-a-mob» street demonstrations, and corporate
media propaganda, the Langley spooks are now trying to run Rousseff from office
through a «Made in America» impeachment process. Aware that Rousseff's
progressive predecessor and mentor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, has been
targeted by Brazilian prosecutors on the CIA's payroll, for arrest and
prosecution for bribery, she appointed him to her government with ministerial
rank and prosecutorial immunity. Lula only became a target because he signaled
his desire to run for the presidency after Rousseff’s term ends in 2019.
The Workers’
Party correctly points out that the legislative impeachment maneuvers against
Rousseff and the judicial operations against both Rousseff and Lula emanate
from Washington. The same «color of law» but CIA-advanced operations were
directed against presidents Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in Argentina, Rafael
Correa in Ecuador, Evo Morales in Bolivia, Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela,
Fernando Lugo in Paraguay, and Manuel Zelaya in Honduras. In the cases of Lugo
and Zelaya, the operations were successful and both leaders were removed from
power by CIA-backed rightist forces.
Street protests
against Rousseff have, since they began in 2014, taken on the typical Soros
themed revolution construct. As with the disastrous Soros-inspired and
CIA-nurtured Arab Spring protests in Egypt, Libya, Syria, and Tunisia and
Euromaidan protest in Ukraine, the Vem Pra Rua movement and the associated Free
Brazil Movement are basically nothing more than politically-motivated
capitalist campaigns relying on Facebook, Twitter, and pro-insurrection
television and radio networks, newspapers, and websites.
In addition to
the inflatable yellow ducks, street protests have been marked by
quickly-manufactured inflatable dolls of Lula in black and white prison garb
and a placard cartoon drawing of Rousseff with a red diagonal «No» sign drawn
through it. Street protest devices, which also include green and yellow banners
and clothing, are telltale signs of significant amounts of money backing the
psychological warfare gimmickry.
Brazilian
prosecutors on Langley's payroll arrested the popular Lula after staging a
massive police raid on his house. Police also arrested the former First Lady of
Brazil, Lula's wife Marisa Leticia. Lula said he felt that he was kidnapped by
the police. In 2009, Honduran troops actually kidnapped President Manuel Zelaya
in the middle of the night and detained him in a military cell prior to
expelling him from the country. That operation, like the one against Lula and
Rousseff, was backed not only by the CIA and NSA, but by the US Southern
Command in Miami. The Honduran coup was also backed by the Supreme Court of
Honduras. To prevent a further political arrest of her predecessor, Rousseff
made Lula her chief of staff, a cabinet position that affords Lula some
protection from continuing prosecutorial harassment and legal proceedings by
the federal court.
On March 16,
Judge Sergio Moro, who is in charge of Operation «Lava-jato» («Car wash»), the
two-year investigation of Petrobras and the alleged bribery involving Rousseff
and Lula, released two taped intercepts of phone calls between the president
and former president. The bugged phone conversation involved Rousseff's plans
to appoint Lula as her chief of staff, a Cabinet rank, as a way to afford him
some protection from the CIA's judicial-backed coup operation now in play.
Rousseff previously served as Lula’s chief of staff. Classified National
Security Agency documents leaked by whistleblower Ed Snowden illustrate how NSA
has spied on Rousseff's office and mobile phones. President Obama claimed he
ordered an end to such spying on world leaders friendly to the United States.
Obama’s statement was false.
Judge Sergio
Moro's name appears in one of the leaked State Department cables. On October
30, 2009, the US embassy in Brasilia reported that Moro attended an
embassy-sponsored conference in Rio de Janeiro held from October 4-9. Titled
«Illicit Financial Crimes», the conference appears have been an avenue for the
CIA and other US intelligence agencies to train Brazilian federal and state law
enforcement, as well as other Latin American police officials from Argentina,
Paraguay, Panama, and Uruguay, in procedures to mount bogus criminal
prosecutions of Latin American leaders considered unfriendly to the United
States. The State Department cable from Brasilia states: «Moro... discussed the
15 most common issues he sees in money laundering cases in the Brazilian
Courts».
One item that was
not on the agenda for the US embassy seminar was the NSA’s covert spying on the
communications of Rousseff, Lula, and the state-owned Brazilian oil company
Petrobras. In a technique known as prosecutorial «parallel construction», US
prosecutors given access to illegally-intercepted communications, have
initiated prosecution of American citizens based on the selective use of
warrantless intercepts. If such tactics can be used in the United States, they
can certainly be used against leaders like Rousseff, Lula, and others. The
Operation Car wash intercepts of the Rousseff-Lula phone conversations that
were released by Judge Moro to the media may have originated with NSA and its
XKEYSCORE database of intercepts of Brazilian government and corporate
communications conducted through bugging operations codenamed KATEEL, POCOMOKE,
and SILVERZEPHYR.
In what could be
called the «Obama Doctrine», the CIA has changed its game plan in overthrowing
legitimate governments by using ostensibly «legal» means. Rather than rely on
junta generals and tanks in the street to enforce its will, the CIA has,
instead, employed prosecutors, judges, opposition party leaders, newspaper
editors, and website administrators, as well as mobs using gimmicks –
everything from inflatable yellow ducks, paper mâché puppets, and freshly silk
screen-printed t-shirts, flags, and banners – as themed revolution
facilitators.
As shown by the
leaked State Department cables, the CIA has identified a number of agents of
influence it can rely on for providing intelligence on both Rousseff and Lula.
These sources have included the senior leadership of the Workers’ Party;
officials of Petrobras eager to see their company sold off to the
highest-bidding foreign vultures; Brazilian Central Bank executives; and
Brazilian military intelligence officers who were originally trained by US
intelligence and military agencies.
In addition to
BRICS member Brazil, other BRICS nations have also seen the US increasing its
efforts to organize themed revolutions. South Africa is on the target list, as
are Russia and China.
