Right Wing Watch, of People for the American Way, Attacks Jair Bolsonaro: “U.S. Right Helps, Cheers Rise of Brazilian Authoritarian”


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.
Eduardo Bolsonaro with Steve Bannon
As far as occult traditionalist connections are involved, Bolsonaro is not far away from Bannon. He has been a propagandist of Brazilian astrologer Olavo de Carvalho, who has as his source of “traditionalism” and “conservatism” the Islamic occultist René Guénon, who incidentally is also Bannon’s source. In spite of their Guenonian inspiration and involvement, both Bannon and Carvalho equally portray themselves as “traditionalist Catholic.” You could say that Carvalho is a sort of unsophisticated Third World Bannon.
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.

Russian Media Trash Pro-Family Conference Held At The Kremlin


Russian Media Trash Pro-Family Conference Held At The Kremlin

In all, about 1,000 delegates made the trip to Moscow to take part in the event.

B. Christopher Agee
While critics seemingly have an inexhaustible list of grievances against the nation, plenty of social conservatives are able to celebrate certain aspects of the Russian experience. This fact was evident during a recent conference held inside the Moscow Kremlin earlier this month.
As writer Julio Severo explained, the Sept. 10 forum featured speakers from around the world who agreed that sexual immorality has deeply damaged the family structure. Known as the Large Family and Future of Humanity Forum, 45 nations were represented – including Severo himself, who represented Brazil.
In all, about 1,000 delegates made the trip to Moscow to take part in the event.
The conference focused on several key issues such as abortion, same-sex marriage, and gay pride events, which participants felt have compromised traditional values in regions where such philosophies are prominent. Severo, however, noted that the host country is one place where a pro-family philosophy is still alive and well.
He wrote that “Russia represents hope for conservative fighters in a world increasingly corrupted by the Western debauchery of free sex, abortion imposition, comprehensive immoral sex education, population control [and] homosexual indoctrination via media and schools,” a view he said was shared by those who participated in last week’s forum.
According to Severo’s account, Russian President Vladimir Putin welcomed visitors to the conference with a personal message bemoaning the “erosion of moral values” across much of the globe.
Organizers of the event insisted their goals were only to protect “the natural family” and promoting advocacy “aimed at ensuring the integrity of human life from the moment of conception to natural death”; however, media within Russia and beyond have predictably labeled participants as bigots and hatemongers.
Traditional news outlets including the Moscow Times, for example, lambasted the event and its speakers – particularly Russian Parliamentarian Yelena Mizulina. During the forum, the conservative politician noted the exceptional openness her country has toward such events.
“I am sure that in contemporary Europe it would not be possible to hold a forum like this,” she said. “Even if they are held there, they are not hosted at the Kremlin, like in Russia, but somewhere on the outskirts.”
Plenty of other biased media properties, including Gay Star News, offered their own criticism of the event. The World Congress of Families, a group reportedly involved in putting the forum together, was recently targeted by Australians fighting to cancel a summit planned to take place in Melbourne.

People for the American Way’s Leftist Diatribe Against a Brazilian Conservative


People for the American Way’s Leftist Diatribe Against a Brazilian Conservative

By Julio Severo
The American Way should be to expose and destroy tyrannies, especially socialism. But do not tell that to the People for the American Way (PFAW), which, according to WorldNetDaily, is “an atheist socialist organization which, through publications like its ‘Right Wing Watch,’ dedicates itself to the destruction of conservatives in general.”
Former leftist U.S. President Bill Clinton in People for the American Way
The latest attack from “Right Wing Watch” was against me, Julio Severo, in a piece entitled “BarbWire Pundit Defends Brazil’s Past Violent Dictatorship, Fears Looming ‘Gay Agenda.’” My BarbWire article, “U.S. Betrays Military Men Who Protected Brazil from Communist Threat,” just exposes that the Obama administration is betraying military men who protected Brazil from violent and bloody communist revolutions and rules. It also stresses that in this time in Brazil there was freedom to proclaim the Gospel, and that Billy Graham, Rex Humbard and Pat Robertson reached millions with their Christian message.
According to its website, “Right Wing Watch” has a special mission to attack conservatives opposed to the gay agenda, abortion and Muslim ideology.
“Right Wing Watch” has denounced C. Peter Wagner, founder of the New Apostolic Reformation, for his influence on the conservative candidacy of Rick Perry for the U.S. presidency in 2010. Wagner is best known for leading the conservative resistance to the efforts by Liberation Theology adherents to hijack the Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization in 1974. The hijack was successful only years later through the Theology of Integral Mission, which is the Protestant version of the Liberation Theology.
“Right Wing Watch” has also denounced WorldNetDaily for its exposé of John Brennan, the director of CIA who converted to Islam and allegedly was recruited in Saudi Arabia. Islam is undeniably violent. Saudi Arabia is one of the most violent tyrannies in the world. But the real enemy, for PFAW, is WorldNetDaily.
PFAW has also attacked Joseph Farah, the owner of WorldNetDaily, for saying that “Obama Is ‘At War With God.’”
In another piece, “Right Wing Watch” says: “Franklin Graham Blasts ‘Anti-Christ’ Obama Administration, ‘Ungodly’ World Vision For Accepting Gays.” Graham is the son of the most famous American evangelist, Billy Graham. He is also the president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
There are many other PFAW attacks on Graham, including: “Franklin Graham Endorses Vladimir Putin’s Anti-Gay Crackdown.”
Of course, Graham did not endorse any crackdown. He just supported the Russian law that protects children from homosexual propaganda. Does PFAW endorse forcing Russian children to be exposed to the immoral and nasty gay propaganda? Does PFAW endorse pedophilia?
The excellent stance of Graham was the cover story in Decision magazine, a famous evangelical publication of BGEA, entitled: “Putin’s Olympic Controversy.”
The Russian law protecting children was not praised only by Graham. The World Congress of Families, which is the largest pro-family and pro-life organization in the world, praised it too. Its spokesman, Don Feder, defended it in his article: “Sochi and The Left’s Human Rights Hypocrisy.” But again, “Right Wing Watch” attacked Feder in its malevolent article “World Congress Of Families Spokesman: Putin Will Save America From ‘Heady Elixir Of Sexual Rights.’”
So, according to PFAW, homosexual activists need unrestricted access to children. And if you try to protect them, you are the problem. You are violent.
According to PFAW, children should be exposed to messages about Islam as a “religion of peace.” And if you try to protect them, you are the problem. You are violent.
Norman Lear, founder of PFAW
People for the American Way (PFAW), founded by Norman Lear, has partnered with leftist and pro-abortion organizations and receives grants from many groups, including the Ford Foundation. In 2013, the Ford Foundation, which has been a population control investor for many years in Brazil, gave $300,000 to PFAW.
According to Conservapedia, “98 percent of the PFAW’s political contributions went to Democratic Party candidates.” This is, PFAW is solidly committed to Obama’s pro-abortion and pro-homosexuality party.
This definitely is not the American way. Population control; advocacy of abortion, Islam and homosexuality; efforts to withdraw protection of children from the homosexual propaganda: this is not the American way.
The American way, as lived by George Washington and other real Americans, was virtue and respect to God. But PFAW wants to pervert it into depravity and disrespect to God. By the way, Washington did not accept homosexuality and he would never have accepted the Islamic ideology. And absolutely he would have supported every effort to protect children from homosexual propaganda and to chastise homosexual propagandists.
If PFAW dislikes conservative Christians, it should not spare George Washington and his original American way.
The PFAW’s leftist diatribes against Franklin Graham, C. Peter Wagner, Don Feder, the World Congress of Families and me just put me in a worthy company. I am sure that Washington would have been pleased to join us.
I am also sure that Josef Stalin and the tyrannical Saudi kings (who have no tolerance for Christians and free speech) would have been pleased to join the so-called “People for the American Way” — better labeled “People for the Anti-Christian Way.”

120 pro-family leaders outraged after U.S. ambassador participates in Czech ‘gay pride’


120 pro-family leaders outraged after U.S. ambassador participates in Czech ‘gay pride’

by Thaddeus Baklinski
PRAGUE, August 22, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) — Pro-family leaders around the world have condemned an endorsement by the U.S. ambassador to the Czech Republic of a Czech homosexual festival held over the weekend.
The World Congress of Families (WCF) issued an open letter signed by more than 120 pro-family and pro-life leaders from 11 countries, after U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic Norman Eisen addressed the opening of the Prague Pride Festival on August 13.
“I am truly honored to be here today representing the United States and President Obama in the effort to ensure the rights of the global LGBT community,” Eisen said, adding that he spoke on behalf of ambassadors from Belgium, Britain, Canada, Finland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, and the charge d’affaires of the Danish and Dutch embassies, who signed a letter of support for the homosexual event.
Norman Eisen
Signers of the WCF letter include Martin Luther King’s niece Alveda King, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, former majority leader in the House of Representatives Tom DeLay, Rabbi Yehuda Levin, who represents more than 1,200 Orthodox rabbis, and representatives of dozens of pro-family organizations in the U.S., Europe and Latin America.
The signatories of the WCF letter note that the Obama administration has made promoting homosexual “rights” – including same-sex “marriage” – a foreign policy priority. However, they say, “The Obama’s administration’s embrace of ‘same-sex marriage’ has been overwhelmingly rejected by the American people.”
The letter also argues that it is ironical that those who complain about “cultural imperialism” are trying to force the worldviews of the American left on societies with traditional values.
“The United Nations has never affirmed homosexual marriage or rights,” while the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights specifically says that “men and women…have a right to marry and found a family,” the letter observes.
The letter concludes with a commendation of Michal Semin, chairman of Akce DOST (Action ENOUGH), and other Czech pro-life and pro-family leaders for their stalwart defense of the natural family.
Akce DOST, which organized pro-life and pro-family counter-demonstrations to take place at the same time as the “Prague Pride 2012” event, delivered a letter of protest to the mayor of Prague and the U.S. Embassy stating, “The festival mostly represents a week-long party of homoeroticism and [the] pornographic industry.”
Descriptions and photos of the DOST counter-demonstrations in Prague are available on the group’s website (in Czech) here.

Comment by Julio Severo: I am not only one of the signatories of this pro-family letter, but I have just sent the following message to the US ambassador:
To Mr. Norman L. Eisen (linhartovaa@state.gov)
Dear Mr. Eisen
Recently, Billy Graham said, “If God doesn’t punish America, He’ll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.”
He is right, not only because he is a prominent minister, but also because the Founder Fathers, if they saw America today, would have most surely agreed with him.
Are you sure that they would have wanted sodomy to be a cause for pride in the US government and society?
Are you sure that they would have tolerated it?
Are you sure that they had envisioned a Republic that would impose it on other nations?
The Bible, the most revered book in the American history and read by the most prominent US presidents, says, “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7 ESV)

Dozens of pro-family leaders denounce U.S. embassy’s participation in Czech ‘gay pride’ parade


Dozens of pro-family leaders denounce U.S. embassy’s participation in Czech ‘gay pride’ parade

by Matthew Cullinan Hoffman
August 9, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) — Dozens of pro-family leaders have signed a petition to condemn the participation of the U.S. embassy in the Czech Republic in this year’s “gay pride” parade to be held in Prague later this month.
The signatories “vigorously protest the participation of the United States Embassy in the Czech Republic in a so-called gay-pride parade which will take place on August 18,” lamenting that “at the directive of the president of the United States, Washington is aggressively promoting the ‘gay’’ agenda internationally, including same-sex ‘marriage’ and the stigmatization and marginalization of any who object to the same.”
The petition notes that “The Obama’s administration’s embrace of ‘same-sex marriage’ has been overwhelmingly rejected by the American people,” and finds no support in international law.
“The United Nations has never affirmed homosexual ‘marriage’ or rights,” observe the signatories, pointing out that the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights allows marriage only for “Men and women of full age,” and that the same document “further defines the family as ‘the natural and fundamental group unit of society’” which is “entitled to protection by society and the State.”
Czech Republic
The petition, which was formulated by Czech pro-family activists and is being circulated by the World Congress of Families, has been signed by representatives of the Alliance Defense Fund, Human Life International, the Population Research Institute, the Russian Orthodox Church, the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, Tradition Family and Property, the Latin American Alliance for the Family, the Traditional Values Coalition, Spain’s Make Yourself Heard (HazteOir), Mexico’s Family Network (Red Familia), Liberty Counsel, and the United Kingdom’s Christian Concern, [Julio Severo, Brazil], among many others.
The protest follows a similar statement issued against the U.S. ambassador to Latvia’s participation in the “Baltic Gay Pride Parade” in June of this year.
The U.S. State Department, under the leadership of Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration, has created controversy in recent years by using its diplomatic muscle and prestige to promote the homosexual agenda in foreign countries.
The appointment of Marie Carmen Aponte as ambassador to El Salvador was blocked by the Senate’s Judiciary Committee in December of last year because of an open letter she wrote to a local newspaper denouncing “homophobia,” claiming that those who opposed the acceptance of special rights for homosexuals are motivated by “hate” and “prejudice,” and quoting Hillary Clinton’s aphorism that “gay rights are human rights.”
