zerohedge | As it turns out, the Temer presidency may be nothing more than the
latest manifestation of the US state department's implementation of yet
another puppet government. We know this because earlier today, Wikileaks
released evidence via a declassified cable that Brazil's new interim
president was an embassy informant for US intelligence and military.
Wikileaks brought attention to two cables, one dated January 11,
2006, the other June 21, 2006. One shows a document sent from Sao Paolo,
Brazil, to - among other recipients - the US Southern Command in Miami.
In it, Temer discusses the political situation in Brazil during the
presidency of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Regarding the 2006 elections, when Lula was re-elected, Temer shared
scenarios in which his party (PMDB) would win the elections. He
declined to predict the race, however, but said there would be a run-off
and that "anything could happen."
Temer said the PMDB would elect between 10 and 15 governors that
year, and that the party would have the most representatives in the
Senate and thus the House of Representatives. This would mean that the
elected president would have to report to PMDB rule. "Whoever wins the presidential election will have to come to us to do anything," Temer reportedly said.
As a reminder, the last time the US instituted a puppet government,
was in 2014 when in yet another "bloodless coup", the president of
Ukraine was overthrown and replaced with a billionaire oligarch, a
scenario comparable to the one in Brazil.
We don't have to remind readers that as a result of the Ukraine coup,
relations between the US and Russia are multi-decade lows, the cold war
is back and - as of yesterday, so is the nuclear arms race. We are
curious what the consequence of yet another US state coup will be, this
time in Latin America's largest country.
