Right Wing Watch, of People for the American Way, Attacks Jair Bolsonaro: “U.S. Right Helps, Cheers Rise of Brazilian Authoritarian”
By Julio
Severo
Usually, I report on Right Wing Watch
mentioning me, in an attempt to incite the U.S. left to mark me as a “bad guy.”
This time, Right Wing Watch has marked
another Brazilian as “bad guy” too. In an October 25, 2018 report titled “U.S.
Right Helps, Cheers Rise of Brazilian Authoritarian,” Right Wing Watch said
perversely,
“The
rising political tide of right-wing nationalist movements appears poised to
crest next in Brazil, where a torture-supporting apologist for military
dictatorships and police killings appears
to be headed for a victory in this Sunday’s presidential election. The U.S.
right-wing is cheering his
rise.”
Torture-supporting apologist?
Far-left-wingers support, here and now, torture and killing of innocent
pre-born babies through legal abortion and do they think that they can accuse
other people of advocating “torture”? What Right Wing Watch calls “military
dictatorship” saved Brazil from communism in the 1960s and 1970s. This is the
same communism that was slaughtering millions of innocent men, women and
children in other nations.
If far-left-wingers do not like torture
and dictatorship, why do they praise Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, notorious torturers
and killers?
If they do not like military dictatorship,
why do they praise Hugo Chavez, a military communist who impoverished
Venezuela?
In comparison to the U.S. republic, the Brazilian
military government (1964-1985) was a dictatorship. But in comparison to Cuba,
North Korea and the Soviet Union, where Christians were persecuted and killed
for their faith, the Brazilian military government was a “democracy,” where
Christians were not persecuted and killed for their faith.
U.S. Republicans can accuse the Brazilian
military government of being a dictatorship. But no left-winger has such right.
Continuing its perverse report, Right Wing
Watch added,
Legislator
Jair Bolsonaro is riding a wave of public anger over crime and corruption, with
a lot of help from the military,
big agricultural interests, and conservative evangelicals—the “Bullets, Beef
and Bibles” caucus. A Bolsonaro victory could signal
“a major step toward authoritarianism,” writes Michael Albertus at Foreign
Policy.
We
reported
in August that Bolsonaro was getting a boost from former Trump advisor
Steve Bannon and former U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann. And we noted that U.S.
Religious Right groups have been operating in Brazil as part of the
globalization of the “culture wars.”
If Bachmann is supporting Bolsonaro, it is
excellent news. She
is pro-life, pro-family, pro-homeschooling and against compulsory child
vaccination. Besides, she
is an evangelical, a charismatic Lutheran. I am sure that she has many good
advices to give to Bolsonaro. But in regard to Bannon, how could it be good? Bannon
is involved in occultism. U.S. President Donald Trump eventually expelled him from
the White House. Read my article “How
the Powerful Union of Trump with Evangelicals Saved the U.S. from Steve Bannon
and His Occult Plan of a ‘Traditionalist’ Government.”

Even though Catholic Bolsonaro has
received massive support from evangelicals,
who are determining his election, he has been unable to disconnect himself
from Carvalho’s Guenonian traditionalism, while Trump has fully disconnected
himself from Bannon’s Guenonian traditionalism.
Right Wing Watch said,
“Bolsonaro
has been praised
by the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board as a ‘Brazilian Swamp Drainer’—the
editorial writers seemingly chuckled over the ‘anxiety attack’ that Bolsonaro
is giving ‘global progressives.’ An AFP news photo from a Bolsonaro rally last
weekend shows a sign reading ‘GOD BLESS BOLSONARO AND TRUMP! MAKE US FREE FROM
COMMUNISM AND ITS SLAVERY!’ Taking a cue from Trump, Balsonaro described news
reports about his connection to Bannon as ‘typical fake news’—even though it
was his own son who had
met with Bannon in New York and reported on his support for the campaign.”
Even though I do not agree with the Right
Wing Watch report, I do not understand why Bolsonaro has denied connections to
Bannon, because the source of this “fake news” is his own son, Eduardo Bolsonaro,
who in a trip to the U.S. met personally Bannon, assuring his readers that Bannon is “an
enthusiast of Bolsonaro’s campaign and we are certainly in touch to join forces,”
adding that “we share the same worldview.” If they are certainly in touch, as
Bolsonaro said, why now does he treat his own news as “fake news”?
If now Bolsonaro is disavowing Bannon
because of his radicalism, why is not he disavowing the Third World Bannon because
of his radicalism too? Carvalho
is the most prominent Brazilian advocate of the revisionism of the Inquisition.
As the Holocaust, the Inquisition sought to destroy the Jews. The revisionism
of both is an offense to the Jews, because it understates the crimes and belittles
the victims of the Inquisition and the Holocaust.
Right Wing Watch also mentioned a report
in Haaretz, one of the largest newspapers in Israel. The report compared
Bolsonaro to Hitler. But how can he be like Hitler if he publicly supports
Israel? To back such baseless accusation, Right Wing Watch published the
following excerpt from Haaretz, which said that Bolsonaro receives supports
from Brazilian evangelicals:
Brazil’s
Bolsonaro, who is Catholic but attends Baptist services, has made a populist
effort to span denominations, and receives broad support from Brazil’s growing,
urban evangelical movement, including boosters associated with the World
Congress of Families.
Bolsonaro
was baptized in the Jordan River into the Assemblies of God, which has been
pouring money into far-right politics in Brazil and around the world. The
Assemblies of God are deep drivers of the U.S. Evangelical movement, including
some of the most important partners of the World Congress of Families.
Bolsonaro’s
richest Evangelical supporters, like the Assembly of God’s head and Pentecostal
televangelist Silas Malafaia, have partnered up with WCF allies at the Pat
Robertson-founded American Center for Law and Justice, and at the Brazilian
Center for Law and Justice, which promotes — as does WCF — a transnational
movement against LGBT rights.
One of the most important leaders of the
World Congress of Families was the late Larry
Jacobs, whom I met in Moscow in 2014 for a pro-family meeting at the Kremlin.
Jacobs told me that he was a member of the Assemblies of God. Even though the
Obama administration hated the Russian law banning homosexual propaganda to
children and adolescents, the World Congress of Families was the largest
Western and American organization praising this law protecting children against
homosexual predators.
Is
Right Wing Watch desperate that the same U.S. conservative evangelicals who
supported the Russian conservatism are now supporting the Brazilian
conservatism?
Right Wing Watch is right to mention the
vital role of evangelicals in the election of Bolsonaro. The U.S.
media has confirmed such role. The British
media has confirmed it. The German
media has confirmed it. And the
Israeli media has confirmed it. So everybody around the world knows that
evangelicals are the best chance for Bolsonaro to get the Brazilian presidency.
Why then does Bolsonaro think, privately
or not, that two traditionalist occultists — Bannon and Carvalho — are so
important for him to be president?
Most Brazilian evangelicals
supporting Bolsonaro are Pentecostals and charismatics, who are great
advocates of Israel. Silas Malafaia and many other Pentecostal leaders travel
to Israel to show that Brazilian evangelicals support fully the Promised Land
only to the Jews, not to Palestinian usurpers.
Similar to Hitler was former Brazilian
socialist president Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva, who always supported
Palestinian usurpers and whose politics antagonized Israel. By the way, Lula,
who supported the communist dictatorship in Cuba, is
serving a long sentence in prison for corruption.
Right Wing Watch should explain how Haaretz,
which is a far-left-wing Israeli newspaper, can accuse Bolsonaro or Brazilian
Pentecostals of being Nazi if they support Israel.
With
evangelical support, Bolsonaro has no chance to become a Hitler. Hopefully,
evangelicals will be able to help free him from the Guenonian traditionalism,
just as U.S. evangelicals through their
prayers were fundamental to free Trump from Bannon
and his Guenonian traditionalism. My wife and I are voting for Bolsonaro with
such hope.
If Haaretz and other far-left-wing media
were genuinely worried about radical ideas against the Jews, they would attack
not Bolsonaro, but revisionists of the Inquisition and the Holocaust. While
Bolsonaro has been perversely called a Nazi for supporting Israel, Carvalho has
been granted a free pass on his radical revisionist ideas.
As it has done for over 4 years, Right
Wing Watch has also mentioned me in its perverse report against Bolsonaro,
saying,
Meanwhile,
at BarbWire, blogger Julio Severo complained last week about a Foreign Policy
commentary that said Bolsonaro’s “propaganda campaign has taken a page straight
from the Nazi playbook.” Author Federico Finchelstein noted, “Recently,
Bolsonaro argued that he would never accept defeat in the election and
suggested that the army might agree with his view,” adding, “This is a clear
threat to democracy.” BarbWire’s Severo, whose post repeatedly
referred to Finchelstein being Jewish, asked how Bolsonaro could be a Nazi
given that he supports moving the Brazilian embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
Coincidentally, Bachmann’s video message
to Brazilian Christians was to vote only for a candidate who would move the
embassy.
Right
Wing Watch is a project of the far-left-wing People for the American Way and it
has, according to its website, a special mission to attack conservatives
opposed to the gay agenda, abortion and Muslim ideology.
According
to WND,
People for the American Way (PFAW) is “an atheist socialist organization which,
through publications like its ‘Right Wing Watch,’ dedicates itself to the
destruction of conservatives in general.”
Many
prominent U.S. conservative names are in Right Wing Watch’s blacklist. My
place in their blacklist is here.
Now,
at last, it is Bolsonaro’s
turn, whose name has also been added to Right Wing Watch’s blacklist.
