Defend Brazil!

by Andre Vltchek

Enough weeping! Latin America has wept incessantly, continuously, for years, decades and centuries. Its people robbed of everything since the days of Columbus, since Potosi. Tens of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions have been slaughtered here, in the last five centuries; first by the conquerors, then by their descendants and serfs, and finally by the Empire of Lies as well as the treasonous local ‘elites’.

Enough weeping, comrades! It is time to use force.

Whenever people stood up, whenever true Latin American heroes liberated their lands, by reason or by force, the bloodbath was administered almost immediately, from across the seas, or from the North. Tanks rolled through the avenues and squares, and combat airplanes and helicopters sprayed bombs and bullets all over Presidential palaces, as well as the countryside. People were hunted down like animals, dragged to stadiums and factories, to underground cellars, and there they were violated, tortured and slaughtered.

That’s their democracy! Thank you, but no more of that.

Why did all those horrors take place? Because there was always a clear consensus among the rulers in Washington, in most of the European capitals, and the reigning classes in all Latin American countries: Latinos are here to serve the West, to be governed from the North. If some Latin country opted to act ‘irresponsibly’ (to paraphrase Henry Kissinger), it had to be reminded where it belongs: it had to be smashed to pieces, bathed in blood and thoroughly humiliated.

Such treatment was administered on countless occasions, and it happened virtually everywhere – from the Dominican Republic to Chile, and from Brazil to Nicaragua.

1. Yep, but they also do it to themselves.

Musical dictators has long been the norm in most South and Central American countries. The kinds of ethnic cleansing indulged in by the various governments has added its meed to the body count. That this instability has been gleefully reinforced by Europe and the U.S. is certainly true, but the seed would not grow if it fell on barren soil. The Free World (tm) has long made it policy to encourage instability in the rest of the world, so long as that instability feeds on the local populace and doesn't interfere with business as usual. The only reason we have it in for places like Cuba and Venezuela is that they nationalized private industry, after all. The rest is just rhetoric.
