Secret Files Show How Brazil’s Elites Jailed Former President Lula and Cleared the Way for Bolsonaro 

...AND, you're missing the key aspect that U.S. LAWYERS traveled to Brazil and were instrumental to their scheme, posing the question "who really was and is behind the cascading domino downfall effect that occurred in several Latin American nations' labor socialist or "leftist" parties all at once" practically!

As a Brazilian citizen, how could I ever thank Mr. Greenwald and The Intercept?

Thank you DN! Thank you Amy Goodman, Juan González and staff members! Thank you Glenn Greenwald! We're very lucky to have you working here in Brasil! This report gave me shivers as I watched! #FREELULA

WTF did Moro honestly say he's pissed off because he doesnt know who leaked the info, and that the publishers should have come forward *before* leaking the information..!?!? "I lament the lack of indication of of the source of the person responsible...", "as well as the position of the site that did not contact me before publication" Yeah.. ..I'm sure that would have worked out well for them!! :/

Brazil thanks you SO MUCH Mr.Greenwald. Outstanding job. Congratulations!

Glenn is a global treasure.

Greenwald and Scahill are brave journalists. The world has too few of such people.

Glenn Greenwood you are a brave reporter!! A true hero for justice and peace!! Please keep representing

Thank you so much Democracy Now and Glenn for your wonderful work and for supporting democracy in Brazil for all these years.

Excellent job by Democracy Now! and Glenn Greenwald. I have never doubted the innocence of Lula Da Silva and I have met South American oligarchs here in the States and as Lula described in this video and Greenwald quoted it does not matter how well the old Portuguese oligarchy did under Lula's presidency, they could not stand the fact that someone of poor, humble origin who was not a born and raised elite could be in such a position of authority over them. They also resented the fact that other people as never before were making money and acquiring a status that only that hundreds year old elite had held till now. Lula was a threat to them by being such a popular successful president.

Thanks Glenn, for your good job! Grata Glenn, pelo seu excelente trabalho!

Brazil's government should not only release Lula da Silva, they should initiate another election.

The intercept is a global treasure! Glenn greenwald should be protected.

Why am I not surprised? Why?!

As a Brazilian I can only thank Mr. Greenwald for his amazing investigation.

Great report! I'm Brazilian and I'd like to add Portuguese captions to this vídeo to share over here. Congratulations for the job!

May the Force protect you Glenn G. Much respect for Intercept.

No finer example of the fundamental importance of investigative journalism, without which democracy will surely die. Stay safe Mr Greenwald.

Thanks for this.

Instead of questioning legitimacy of Venezuelas government US should question legitimacy of Brazil's government.

Thank you Glenn , Jeremy, and the Intercept!!! Now Glen, go get some rest. You look tired today. ♡♡♡♡

As a Brazilian, I congrats Glenn and The Intercept and say: Thank you very much!

Excellent news thank you

Corruption, way too popular... Brazil, your bread is too sweet...

I would like to thank both Mr Glenn Greenwald and Democracy Now for all the work you've been doing for a long time. I follow your content from Brazil and I will respect the deep journalism that you guys produce. This kind of work is just priceless because it is also a protection of freedom and democracy at its very core. So, again, thank you very much. Congratulations and keep up the good work.

God bless Mr. Greenwald.

Great work and Stay Safe Glenn

Go Glenn. Talk about a trusted source, so rare and precious these days.

*🌍 Bom trabalho Glenn👏🏻*

Glenn's/Intercept's work on this case is a blessing for our country. What he is doing has/will have a strong impact on Brazil's political history! Glenn is amazingly articulate, intelligent, insightful and well informed. Brazilian ex-Pres. Lula was probably the best president we had so far. Lula would win the 2018 election, no one doubts that. Lula would continue his visionary policies to eliminate social/economic inequality in Brazil, much like China's Xi Jinping or Russia's Putin, the 2 most powerful BRICS members. Under Lula Brazil grew economically, increased trade with China, which has been for several years the main trade partner for our country. All these facts were considered by the U.S. Gov. (the Deep State) a huge "problem" for the U.S. financial hegemony. The BRICS growing strength and the BRICS bank founded in 2014 would become a huge hindrance to the present U.S. world financial control with the dollar as a world trade AND reserve currency. "They" had to derail Lula's third term after his 2000-2008 two terms. The "plan" concocted from Obama's days and finished (sort of) now, under Trump, has succeeded. Brazil has now an amazingly unprepared president, a U.S. idiotic puppet. The"plan" to get Lula out of 2018 presidential election worked, all was going well for the evil "operation derail Brazil". But then... boom! Someone leaked a huge amount of audio and text exchange between the then judge Moro and the federal prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol during the fake Lula’s prosecution, the leaks are now being published by Glenn Greenwald/The Intercept. Finally, the truth is coming out to light. The operation "dismantle the BRICS" had 3 main fronts, first Russia, with the Ukraine operation, Nato pressure at Russia's borders, Russia demonization during and after Trump’s election and then the heavy sanctions on Russia. More recently came the U.S. came up with the growing on China, the Huawei case, etc, etc. Now, Brazil is going down, economically, socially, politically. All successfully orchestrated in Wash. DC. After 911, connecting the dots has become a vast and time-consuming job for anyone who wants to know what is going on in the geopolitical world arena. The geopolitical world nightmare has gone beyond a 3D chess game, dense, complex and yet easy to understand for anyone with lots of time to research, I mean hours every day starting from the Bush Jr. era. The world has become indeed an interesting arena in the worst sense possible. Interesting as in a well scripted/directed/acted horror movie. Brazil is out of the way for Washington, China and Russia are and will be a whole different game for the sick behavior of the U.S. and its minions, Brazil included now. Brazilian government now dances accordingly to U.S. Gov. music. Xi and Putin have to go on their struggle against the U.S. desperate job of saving the crumbling empire. Xi and Putin are very well prepared. Hopefully, the world will see better days, and that can only happen after the evil empire cedes its place to mineral resources rich Russia and cash/technology-rich China. Putin has been doing an excellent job since coming to power after Boris Yeltsin, alternating the Presidency with his friend Dmitry Medvedev. In China, the monolithic and very efficient one-party system can't be messed up by any U.S. Think Tank "operation". The world peace and prosperity depend on China and Russia now and most probably they will succeed. The U.S. population benefit from the empire fall. As in the phrase attributed to Winston Churchill: "You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time." The U.S. has been fooling the whole world since Bretton Woods, but its time is up.

Amazons should be owned and protected by UN and not by arbitrary governments or greedy corporations.

Wonderful Glen Greenwald! I wish French journalists could be as intellectually honest. But they aren't, I am afraid, none of them!

Glenn você é ótimo parabéns grade jornalista

What sanders is said is fairly possible, by our laws if a judge starts communications with the prosecutorial part he must declare himself in suspiction and of he does not all actions he made counting from the start of those communications must be rolled back

Thank you, Glenn💗

Glenn Greenwald is a very courageous person. A worldclass citizen. One of the most important journalist if not the most important journalist in this time. FREE LULA NOW!

Trump's good buddy.

Great Glenn! Top of jouralism! Thanks for your job!

I fear for Glenn.

God bless you Glenn.

#FreeLulaNOW

The World is Lost Forever. All bandits!

Greate job Glenn!

Nice work Glenn. Much 💕

Can someone tell me the name of the song started from 3:14? heart motivated by that!

Thank you Intercept! Brazilian people need to know the truth.

Huauh! Gosh, Glen, can I work with you guys at the Intercept? You guys blow my mind!

Pertinent journalism. Power to the PEOPLE. Cheers to those who seek the truth. Glenn is a great professional. The US should be proud of him!

Suspend muro but, prosecute bonsonaro!..........and all his racist Fascist helpers!😡👊🏾 Bring Justice to BRAZIL!

Now this is getting better 😁, we still need another player to come out: CIA

Very bent that they did not include this in the main broadcast. I will work with your staff if this was really an error.

Thanks to the intercept and to democracy now for revealing the truth to the whole world.

And what do you think is going on in Venezuela right now (rhetorical question, but yeah, go ahead anyway)?! 💚✊

Such good work, thank you.

I never thought these things would ever be scooped someday. Thanks to Glenn Greenwald, it's a dream come true.

Has anybody watched "Edge of Democracy" yet? Is it an accurate depiction of what's going on in Brazil? Would like to know if it's worth watching or if it's corporate propaganda?

Fantastic, thanks for this interview.

They got what they wanted. Brazil needs revolution now

Wow... Democracy Now and Glenn Greenwald are really at the forefront of reporting important news. Constantly spot on, excellent journalism. You can tell from his tone that Greenwald has a long and trusted relationship with Democracy Now. I always look forward to Greenwald on this cutting edge news service.

Brazil needs more of this amazing journalism! I hope Glenn inspires many brazilian studants to do the same in the future.

Sure hope this doesn't happen in America's election!

Gleen salvou o Brasil desse juiz bandido.

Great job Greenwald! Keep it up!!!

Wow this is so inspiring and educational. Thank you guys so much!!

Power without oversight is our age old source of inhumanity.

thanks, Glenn please don't give up on us and keep spreading the real truth around the world.

It is interesting to hear what is said in this reporting concerning power and its abuses. In 1887, Lord Acton wrote to Bishop Mandell Creighton this famous remarque that” Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely” it is a fact that this is proven year after year in every circles of human activities, be in businesses, law or politics, but specially in politics. This is the reason why the all system of so called modern democracy has to be looked into very seriously. Nobody should be allowed to be in a position of authority without strict accountability and mandatory revocation from the public itself, a system which was in existence in the past even with the Indian populations of North America. We better learn from out history, not doing so makes us perfect idiots ready to be victimised by a system systematically open to corruption.

Letting Lula go and disbarring those judges and prosecutors doesn't go nearly far enough. Bulsinaro needs to be forced out of office and Brazil needs to have a new election, one in which Lula is free to run in.

Elimination of the Devils!!!!

Impressionante como essa galera acha que entende alguma coisa do que se passa no Brasil. Vergonha.

GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS GREENWALD!!!!

Ótimo parabéns

Glenn is very good!

This Friday 14th will be National Strike. Our thoughts and prayers for those who won't be able to take the streets at the risk of losing their jobs.

wtf happen to brazil where u can jail an xpresident simply by accussing him of owning something without paper work/titled documented or money transactions showing who or what company own it? it's the craziest shit i every heard happening in a supposedly modern society. usually, u forge their name or transfer money to an off shore account, but just saying u own that building is beyond sick.

You should run a lie counter every time the show a clip of that crooked judge talking.

Gleen saved Brazil!

This is a good example of why media and the Julian Assange case is sooooo important. The media is supposed to be the eyes and ears of the public to keep politicians in their place. Instead, what we have in North America is medias controlled by the very people in power. This is just a beginning and if we stay silent, we will have no voices left. This reporting should give us all hope because it is a great example of how medias should work.

Please, please, please stay safe Glenn. The world needs people like you.

Freedom for our former president Lula!

Too incredible that the world media covers this, but never connects it to the USA

I might be wrong, I do not follow that much Brazil, because I am Portuguese and always think it sucks, but during Lula tenure people went after some oligarchs that were highly abusive of the economy, that might have triggered that wave of hate that GG is talking about, there there justice had to be done because of the interrupted dynastic abuse and complete social disregard typical of the Latin culture, in fact seen all over South America, and Mexico. All people I had the chance to talk to were adamant Brazil was more peaceful under Lula. Now it appears the Soccer and the Olympics are over, and so the whip is out again. Brazil lost a lot of money, and so value, and so heads had to roll, the country needed a scapegoat. That might be the economic hidden reason behind the blaming and shaming we see in Lula wrong imprisonment, because everyone said if anything was done, was in his back, and he did not have a chance of being responsible.

Fuck..........Glenn is one of the best journalists in the world right now. So happy to see that we may have justice for Lula!

The Hallmark of the Jesuit fascist is they wield power in secret
