Jair Bolsonaro (Trump of the Tropics)
Over
the past four years, perhaps more, there has been
a rise in right-wing, fascist governments. The US., got Trump, a
known racist white supremacist sympathiser, a blatant Islamophobic,
when one considers his first major Executive Order as President: The
Muslim Ban. He fails to condemn white supremacist terrorist acts,
particularly the most horrendous in years, New Zealand. There
are obvious reasons for this rise in fascism across the planet. One
reason is good timing. Most people are tired of neoliberalim. A
capitalist system in favour of the rich at the expense of the poor.
Since 9/11, America went on a hell-bent for leather war against the
middle east, creating a foray of refuges escaping their war torn
countries. The Right has used this as a tool of fear, an invasion of
the civilised West. Coupled with racism and an onslaught of war
propaganda, a part of the population are rising in protest to prevent
immigration. The irony, to be sure, is this mass immigration is due
to the wars instigated by the West. These right wing politicians have
used this to their advantage, portraying themselves as populists;
when in reality, these regimes are not for the people, but for the
corporate monoliths for which they serve. Those people who believe
their rhetoric, are the uneducated, the older generation, and the
fanatics. Here are a few examples:
Jair
Bolsonaro, the recently elected president of Brazil, is a Right-Wing
populist “leader”, who was elected into office on lies and
propaganda. Similar to many of these fascistic pundits, he promised
his people everything they wanted to hear. That is, a reformation of
the police force, that will finally crack down on crime. He also
promised a new thriving economy, blaming the Left for the country's
poverty. Similar to President Trump, Bolsonaro sold himself as a “man
of the people”;when in fact, he is not much better than a deeply
sociopathic crime boss, assassinating his opponents, and funnelling
illegal cash into his families bank accounts. Free media, such as The
Intercept, has connected the dots, revealing the Bolsonaro family's
relationship to death squads, assassinations and highly violent
Militias that operate in Rio de Janeiro and throughout Brazil. To add
insult to injury, the president is anti LBGTQ; a climate change
denier, pro corporate ownership of Brazil's natural resources, and
anti-free-press, claiming any word against him and his family is
*Fake News*.
Tomorrow,
03/19/2019, Bolsonaro will be visiting the White House, visiting
president Trump. As many have written, considering the amount of
scandals in Bolsonaro's government, this visit is an effort to
improve his image, in the wake of deep-seated corruption. If the
corporate owned American media support Bolsonaro's visit, dressing it
as something other than a PR stunt, my fear will be realised, the US
MSM is truly bought and paid for.
President
Donald J. Trump, though perhaps less of a criminal, is also rife in
scandal, and potential criminality. Remove the fake #Russiagate
propaganda, fuelled by bought corporate
media, Trump
for many, is the “porn star president”. An administration that
has been rife in scandal since January 2017. As I 've written before,
immediately after the New Zealand white supremacist terrorist attack
on two mosques last week, Trumped palmed it off as a small group, a
few crazy's, and really, an isolated incident. Nothing can be further
from the truth. White Nationalism has been on the rise for some years
now, and a greater threat than any Islamic or immigrant attack. Trump
is Islamophobic, a white supremacist, racist and really, only caters
to the fringe Right. Reading history, recent history, all dictators
engage in the same exact formula.
When
reading history, all Right-wing leaders run the same formula. Become
a populist, claiming that they represent the people. After time,
their actions reveal a criminality, a ocean of lies, and the people
are simply left behind. Wondering what hit them. And it all falls
apart.
