Brazil prosecutor charges Bolsonaro for attempted coup, plot to poison Lula
AP/France24 ^ | 2/19/25 | News Wires

Brazil’s prosecutor-general has charged former president Jair Bolsonaro with attempting a coup to stay in power after his 2022 election defeat, alleging that he knew and approved of a plot to poison his successor, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Brazil's prosecutor-general Paulo Gonet on Tuesday formally charged former President Jair Bolsonaro with attempting a coup to stay in office after his 2022 election defeat, in a plot that also included a plan to poison his successor and current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet alleges that Bolsonaro and 33 others participated in a plan to remain in power. The alleged plot also included a plan to poison Lula and shoot dead Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, a foe of the former president.

“The members of the criminal organization structured at the presidential palace a plan to attack institutions, aiming to bring down the system of the powers and the democratic order, which received the sinister name of ‘Green and Yellow Dagger,’" Gonet wrote in a 272-page indictment. “The plan was conceived and taken to the knowledge of the president, and he agreed to it.”

Deep state doing to Bolsonaro, who was a staunch ally of Trump, exactly what they tried to do to Trump. The similarities are uncanny. Stolen election, charge with sedition or some nonsense for trying to stop the steal.

Of course our resident Putin stooges are posting praises of Lula.

This really sucks. This is exactly what they were trying to do to Trump and when it failed they tried to kill him. Trump should give Bolsonaro political asylum.

Lula is KGB like Castro. Of course KGB/Russian imperialists will support Lula.

Genuflection and fealty are what serfs do. They never have to stand, just follow their lord of the manor for the table scraps.

Actually I think Moraes is the worse of the two. His judicial coup let Lula, who’d been disqualified for flagrant corruption, run again and then allowed the election fraud by which Lula ‘beat’ Bolsonaro. Lula is certainly far far left, but he’s old and IIRC his health isn’t great. Moraes is the face of their deep state and deserves to swim with piranhas.

They do grow a lot of bananas there, so it’s not unexpected.

Hopefully it will backfire just as spectacularly. With more "right wing populist" leaders like Bukele, Milei and Bolsonaro, a populist revolution in Central and South America could change the geopolitical landscape.

With Trump apparently embracing Putin and Xi's vision of the "multipolar world", it's possible Russia and China will end up dividing the Eastern Hemisphere, with the USA left with the Western Hemisphere. Our international influence is going to decline over the next decade, probably to a more realistic level than it has been since the end of the cold war.

“What they didn’t figure on was that Lula would lead Brazil, and likely all of South America, out of being Neocon slave-states and into a new world where the US dollar would just be another currency and countries would be allowed to NOT have Drag Queen Parades, should they choose not to.

The Neocons, in hindsight, should have left well-enough alone, but now they’ve TOTALLY SCREWED THAT UP...and are about to lose half of the Western Hemisphere.”

Makes sense. Putin of course is KGB.
