What you're watching is the first election in 6 years where Lula no longer has tens of millions of dollars of USAID operation money propping up him and his allies.

Not only did Flavio gain on Lula in first round, all the loosing candidates are more-less on the right, so it should be easy for Flavio in the second round.

You right.
I have always lived under impression that USAID was harmless waste of our money, throwing out money to the “poor”, which mostly filled pockets of well connected.

“Middle class people in rich countries subsidizing rich people in poor countries.”

There was lots of it, as well as little bit of money which actually got to the needy.

But since Trump closed it, I realized, it was a real network of shadowy links, subsidizing leftists politicians in the USA and abroad.
Yes, lots of its money actually returned to the USA and filled the pockets of US lefty nonprofits.

NGO is just a euphemism for marxist money laundering.

You are right, I am just sorry, that I have not realized it for so long!

However, to my excuse, they are very good at it!

Could add Japan to that list, although they are, of course, in Asia. For Japan it was a matter of getting Rahm Emanual BOOTED from the country (he had been Obama’s ambassador, and twisting arms to get them to re-populate their country with Third World types, like the rest of the West), and the end of ‘trying to change their culture’. Japan still has some work ahead to fully rid themselves of the damage from Obama, but, of course, electing a Prime Minister who actually puts her country first, is how you get started.

Europe is a FAR TOUGHER region to deal with as they already have their equivalent of USAID and hard-left Centralized Command (the EU), and, of course, they’re beyond the stage where simple political solutions (like Japan) can clean up the place and at the stage where HUGE VIOLENCE, at a level that would make Hitler blush, will have to be employed if they ever want to go back to being European countries.

We’re somewhere in between...

“NGO is just a euphemism for marxist money laundering.”

FAR WORSE than just enriching Democrats. They were literally in the business of DESTROYING countries, pushing LGBT down their throats and plenty of other Left-Wing crap.

“I have always lived under impression that USAID was harmless waste of our money, throwing out money to the “poor”, which mostly filled pockets of well connected.”

They managed to stay below the radar, which enriching Democrats. What was REALLY IMPRESSIVE about them was that they could come through the FRONT DOOR into countries and persuade/bully them into ‘electing’ leaders who went on to destroy those countries (Ukraine, of course, being a prime example, but dozens of others too) - whereas the CIA at least had to sneak in.

What really gave it away regarding USAID was the absolute HYSTERICAL reaction the Left had when Trump shut them down. It seemed that the whole operation was run Female College Graduates...people who were going to operate in Hillary’s administration. It’s GREAT that they’re gone, for now, but they are ready to STRIKE BACK - all they need is for Conservatives to sit on their asses, rather than vote.

Ever wonder why “migrants”‘ arriving at our border all looked well dressed and had hair cuts? I would have expected they would have looked more like the retreating Confederate scarecrows crossing the Potomac after Gettysburg.

I am slowly coming to the conclusion that Dems stealing the 2020 election worked ultimately in our favor. Trump was too trusting that first term, and he was furious over the steal. He had four years to plot his return with a vengeance, and the results are very promising. This is their punishment for their duplicity.
