Astrologer Olavo de Carvalho calls for Brazilian Federal Police to investigate Julio Severo on the allegation that accusations against him involving the Inquisition and occultism are collusions paid by the Russian government that threaten the Brazilian national security
Olavo de Carvalho and the art of pretending to be a victim, the art of dissimulating, the art of slandering and the art of making veiled threats
By
Julio
Severo
In
a video published on January 27, 2019, Olavo de Carvalho called for the Brazilian
Federal Police to investigate me on the grounds that I am an “attacker with connections
to the Russian government,” as if the exposés I make about him were some
conspiracy in which I am paid by the Russian government to disrupt his “wonderful”
plans to save Brazil.
Carvalho
added: “Julio has made several trips to Russia paid by the Russian government.
Why do not [the Federal Police] investigate it?”
The implication of his complaint is that I
am paid by the Russian government to “attack him,” and this, according to his
allegation, deserves the actions of the Federal Police.
Reinforcing an alleged gravity of the
situation, he said, “Is not that a foreign intervention
on a national matter?”
That is, in his view it is impossible for
my exposés against him not to have the collaboration of the Russian government,
indicating that exposing his ideas of the Inquisition and occultism are a
matter of national security and, to protect his ideas from these exposés, he
alleges that such exposés are a “foreign intervention” worthy of a Federal
Police investigation.
There is no escaping the fact that such a
mode of thinking is similar to the way of thinking of Islamic and communist
dictatorships. Whenever a blogger’s view bothers, a totalitarian regime (communist
China, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, etc.) claims that the blogger violated
national security and is involved in some foreign conspiracy.
The Bolsonaro administration in Brazil has
already made an ugly mistake by following some “suggestions” from Carvalho, appointing
two ministers suggested by him. These appointments have displeased Brazilian
generals, who have publicly criticized Carvalho’s ministers. According to
Carvalho, these suggestions were made through his public videos. If the
Bolsonaro administration follows the latest video “suggestion” of Carvalho — of
a Federal Police investigation against Julio Severo over alleged conspiracy by
the Russian government against his ideas, which have become a matter of
national security —, Brazil is going to lower itself to the level of communist
China, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, etc.
Carvalho’s complaint video came shortly
after he complained about the generals in several comments, one of which he said in:
“I
alone did more against communist mental hegemony than all the generals combined.
That’s why so many of them do not like me. I am a living proof of their
omission, ineptitude, and cowardice.”
The generals are worried about that. One
of them, General Paulo Chagas, wrote yesterday a Facebook post curiously
entitled “Olavo ‘Rasputin’ de Carvalho.”
As it is well known, the name Rasputin was given to Carvalho by me months ago
in the article “Jair
Bolsonaro’s Rasputin? How to Weaken a Right-Winger.” It seems the generals
are reading my articles. Will Carvalho now say that the generals are being
influenced by “Russian propaganda” from a “Russian agent”?
I am not worried about the slander and
lies of Carvalho, but about the almost submissive way in which Bolsonaro
follows his “suggestions.” Since Carvalho has put his own person as an uncriticizable
subject of national security that deserves to be protected by the Federal
Police against an “intervention” of the Russian government in collusion with me
against him, I will repeat what is already notorious.
I traveled to Russia in 2014 for a big
pro-family conference at the Kremlin. I did not attend it alone. I was with
evangelical, Catholic and Jew leaders from the United States. Unlike Carvalho,
who boasts of having links with American occultists like Steve Bannon and
Wolfgang Smith (both adherents of the Islamic occultist René Guénon), I
have connections with pro-family leaders in the United States.
My trip, which was no secret, was all
recorded in this article: Kremlin
Hosts International Meeting of Pro-Family Leaders and It is Accused by The
Moscow Times of Throwing a Global Neo-Con Party
I have already attended large pro-life
Catholic conferences, including in Aparecida and at the headquarters of the National
Conference of Catholic Bishops of Brazil, at the invitation of national
Catholic leaders. After this participation, many called me a Catholic or
enthusiastic Catholic, especially since I also participated in the founding of
great Brazilian pro-life Catholic movements, including the National Pro-Life
and Pro-Family Association in 1994 and the National Pro-Life and Pro-Family
Network in 2007. My deep connection to the Catholic pro-life movement since the
1980s has made me to be seen as an enthusiastic Catholic.
Many of these trips and participations
were paid by Catholic leaders. But I have never been accused of being a “Catholic
agent.” Will Carvalho now want to produce a video urging the Federal Police to
investigate if I am a Catholic agent paid by the Vatican?
I attended a single Russian pro-life
event, along with U.S. pro-life Jewish, Catholic and evangelical leaders, and I’m
being accused by a man who never had the support of these U.S. leaders.
While the American left accuses Trump of
collusion with Russia, Carvalho makes the same accusation against me.
I made a single trip to Russia. Thus the
accusation of Olavo de Carvalho that I have made several trips to Russia is
simply slander.
His accusation that such travels were paid
by the Russian government is also slander, since the trip I made to Russia was
exclusively funded by voluntary donations from Americans and Brazilians. My
trip to Russia was encouraged by Dr. Scott Lively, one of America’s greatest
evangelical leaders.
To claim that my exposés are motivated by
a “Russian conspiracy” paid by the Russian government constitutes slander,
because before traveling to Russia I was already denouncing Carvalho because of
his advocacy of the revisionism of the Inquisition, which tortured and killed
Jews and Protestants. The
revisionism that Carvalho advocates diminishes and even denies the suffering,
torture, cruelty and deaths of these Jews and evangelicals.
As far as I know, the theme of the
Inquisition has nothing to do with Russia. So to deal with Carvalho’s
pro-Inquisition obsession, what helped me most was American literature. No
country in the world produced more books against the Inquisition than the
United States. So, on this important subject, my base is the U.S., not Russia. Is
Carvalho going to say that there is an American collusion with me against the
Inquisition?
Interestingly, the Inquisition alleged accusations
against its Jewish and Protestant victims and put all the state force against
them for their view against any dogma of the Catholic Church. In the spirit of
the Inquisition, Carvalho is using the same kind of low blow against me.
I have disagreements with Catholicism, but
that has never prevented me for more than 30 years from supporting Catholic
efforts, including from the popes, to defend the lives of babies against legal
abortion.
I have disagreements with Russia, but that
does not stop me from supporting the exemplary Russian law that protects
children and adolescents against homosexual propaganda. I also support other
conservative measures from Russia.
I have disagreements with the U.S.
government, especially regarding the neocons and its nasty support of the
Islamic dictatorship of Saudi Arabia, but that does not stop me from supporting
the U.S. pro-life movement. I also have meetings with American evangelical
leaders.
In fact, when I was at the pro-family
event in the Kremlin, there was also the greatest member of the Inter-American
Institute, which Carvalho claims he founded, but which was actually founded by
John Haskins, an astray evangelical. The sole purpose of the existence of
such an institute, which has no activities, seems to facilitate visa issues for members of the
Carvalho family. Shouldn’t it be investigated by the FBI?
If Carvalho wants to insist on his slander
campaign that because I went to the pro-life event in Russia I am a kind of
paid agent of the Russian government whose trip was paid by the Russian
government, he has an obligation to make the same accusation to the member of
the Institute Inter-American. More: He has a legal obligation to prove what he
is saying. He will have to raise the same slander against all the U.S. evangelical,
Catholic, and Jewish leaders who attended, just like me, the pro-family event
in Russia.
Interestingly, Dr. Larry Jacobs of the
World Congress of Families told me in Moscow that homosexual and leftist
organizations were pressuring the U.S. government, which was then under Obama,
to investigate all Americans who dared to attend the Russian event. Obama had
imposed sanctions against Russia, so the World Congress of Families could not
officially take part in the event, not to be punished by Obama. But many of the
World Congress of Family leaders, including Jacobs, attended the event, even
under the threat of homosexual and leftist organizations that wanted them to be
investigated by the U.S. government for collusion with the Russian government.
In a delayed effect, now Carvalho wants
against me the same governmental pressure that homosexual and leftist
organizations wanted against the U.S. pro-life Jewish, Catholic and evangelical
leaders who dared to take part in the pro-life event in Russia.
In any case, Carvalho has an obligation to
launch the same slander against all the Americans who went to the event. He’s
going to have to prove that they and I are all paid agents.
In 2015, Carvalho raised the same slander
and I
challenged him publicly, saying:
my
challenge is for a commission of international investigative officials to
examine our bank accounts (of me, Hank, Kincaid and Carvalho) to reveal to the
world our financial sources. Let us open our financial books. Let such a
commission investigate us. Only in this way will everybody know who is really
being paid to lie.
After 4 years, Carvalho has not yet
accepted the challenge of opening his bank accounts for investigation.
It would be a shame for the Bolsonaro administration
to call on the Federal Police to satisfy the slander of a man who has lived as
a self-exiled immigrant in the United States for 15 years and does not open his
own accounts for investigation. Instead, from a distance, he prefers to sit in
his chair smoking a pipe and causing confusion among everyone, from generals to
an evangelical blogger.
However, it would be interesting for the
Bolsonaro administration to call on the Federal Police to investigate the real
reasons for Carvalho’s flight from Brazil. He claims that he received “thousands”
of threats and that he had to flee because he had no support. How could he have
no support? One of his children worked for the police and he already had
friends in the Federal Police, including Eduardo Bolsonaro. Neither of them
wanted to help him?
Did he send a copy of these “thousands” of
threats to all his friends and relatives in the police?
Carvalho’s case is not, as he claims, a
national security case that merits actions by the Federal Police against an
evangelical blogger who denounces his connections with the occult and exposes
his insanity minimizing and even denying the suffering and death of Jews and Protestants
under the Inquisition.
Yet, his case may be national security
because of his attitude of slander, falsehood and lies to self-promote himself,
causing confusion and conspiracies even against generals.
There are other important issues that also
deserve to be investigated.
Has Carvalho properly paid his income
taxes in Brazil and the U.S.?
Has he hired for 15 years Brazilians with
a registered job at his house giving them visas following American law or, as a
cult leader, did he use schemes to get free work by volunteers deceived by his power
of persuasion?
Why did he need the Inter-American
Institute to get visas for his family?
Cannot the Federal Police investigate
this?
Cannot the FBI to investigate this?
In my case, if the Federal Police is driven
by the Bolsonaro administration to investigate me, it will find out that for
more than 10 years I worked at Carvalho’s Mídia Sem Máscara website, which I
thought was conservative, Catholic and pro-life. While I worked for free,
without ever having received a single penny of salary, the site received
various sponsorships, even from large companies. Have such sponsorships been
declared to the IRS? Can the Federal Police make an audit of Mídia Sem Máscara
and its sponsorship profits? If the sponsorship money never went to pay
columnists’ salaries, where was it going?
Do labor laws allow such an arrangement,
where a site profits from sponsorship and columnists get nothing?
Perhaps to ease his conscience, later,
once or twice, Carvalho appealed to the public to help me, as if that
compensated for the absence of salaries for me for more than ten years.
Inciting the Federal Police against an
evangelical blogger, who was used to work for free for a man who took advantage
of more than ten years of his work as a columnist in Mídia Sem Máscara, is the
attitude of an opportunist. To slander the victim who was used for more than
ten years in free labor is treacherous. It is the conduct of a treacherous
opportunist, typical of adherents of René Guénon. But like communists, who love
to portray themselves as victims while oppressing and threatening, Carvalho portrays
himself as a victim and portrays me as the oppressor.
What is the Bolsonaro administration, who
seems to love the video “suggestions” of Carvalho, going to do with the “suggestion”
of the latest video of the treacherous opportunist against me? Will it charge
the Federal Police to investigate the treacherous opportunist or his victim?
