Brazilian televangelist Silas Malafaia calls Olavo de Carvalho a coward and bankrupt astrologer after Olavo threatened to topple Bolsonaro administration
By Julio Severo
“A
CHALLENGE TO OLAVO DE CARVALHO! You are a bankrupt astrologer.
Who are you to overthrow a government? You are unable even to knock down a
building manager. Hiding in America, what do you want Bolsonaro to defend you from?
COWARD! You keep talking away and making stupid accusations. JUST KKKKK.”
Malafaia, who is pastor and president of
the Victory in Christ Assemblies of God, is an ally of the President of the
Republic, Jair Bolsonaro. Malafaia’s strong tweet was in defense of Bolsonaro against
Olavo’s demonic attacks.
Malafaia’s strong reaction came after
Olavo de Carvalho, who is considered the Rasputin of President Jair Bolsonaro,
released a video attacking the president and threatening to overthrow his
government.
In the video, Olavo curses the Bolsonaro administration
and accuses Bolsonaro that he has done nothing to use the state machine to persecute
people on the Internet who criticize Olavo’s words and opinions. This complaint
is not new, since shortly after Bolsonaro’s inauguration in 2019, Olavo
called for the Federal Police to investigate me, Julio Severo, for the “crime”
of opinions that I have against his defense of the Inquisition. Olavo
considers my opinion against the Inquisition a crime.
In his melodramatic and even possessed
video, Olavo complains that he has no support from the Bolsonaro administration.
Some interpreted this complaint as Olavo's strategy to seek much more money
from the federal government.
For Revista Fórum, Olavo is after a lot of
money. The magazine said:
“The guru’s statements would have scared
Luciano Hang, who got the president’s approval to raise funds and settle Olavo’s
debts with the Justice. The goal is to raise at least R$ 2.8 million, an amount
that the astrologer owes to singer Caetano Veloso. For that, Hang must mobilize
other businessmen to participate in the donation.”
If this magazine is right, Olavo’s video
threatening to topple the Bolsoanro administration was just tantrum and blackmail.
Thus, Brazil sees itself hostage to a blackmailer who is capable of using any kind
of threat to pluck money from anyone, from the government to businessmen.
According to the Correio Brasiliense, a
member of the Planalto Palace [the official Brazilian presidential residence]
informed that businessman Luciano Hang talked to Bolsonaro about the video in
which Carvalho criticizes and attacks the president with profanity. The
conclusion was that it is necessary to give a financial aid to the guru so that
he can “settle down.” Both Bolsonaro and the businessman were surprised by
Carvalho’s aggression, who is idolized by the president’s children, especially
Eduardo Bolsonaro. The excuse found by Hang to raise the money to shut up
Carvalho is that he continues to “work for Brazil.” But behind this benevolent
action is the fear that the guru will disrupt the support base for Bolsonaro on
social media.
Correio Braziliense added:
It remains to be seen whether the
businessmen are willing to enter the kitty headed by Hang. Carvalho wants much
more than the R$ 2.8 million he needs to pay for a lawsuit he lost to singer
Caetano Veloso. “It is not any amount that Olavo de Carvalho wants. This can be
measured by the size of his aggressiveness in the video.”
The guru of Bolsonaro supporters recorded
a message complaining that he is isolated and that he never had support from
the president. In the video, he says that he is being charged for “fines” and
that he has no way to pay, as he has no money. The guru made it clear that he
expected to be in a better financial position with Bolsonaro in the government.
What does it mean that he expected to be
in a better financial position with Bolsonaro in the government? Did he expect
to suck tax-payers?
It is strange for Olavo to claim that he
has no money. His move to the U.S. was funded by a Brazilian large
multi-million dollar contractor, who awarded him a large estate in the U.S.
Later, Olavo managed to buy other properties in the U.S. There is a Freedom of
Information Act in the U.S., which could perhaps duly clarify how many
properties Olavo has in the U.S. and prove definitively whether he is as poor
as he claims to be.
All this effort by Luciano Hang to gather
businessmen to raise a multimillionaire fund to fill Olavo’s pockets is to calm
Olavo down and stop him from threatening the government.
What does that remind me of? Leftist
groups threaten to overthrow the government and only settle down when they
receive money from the government and businessmen. Unfortunately, this parallel
is not far from Olavo's reality.
Shortly after Hang and other businessmen pledged
to send millions to Olavo’s account, he changed the tone. He abandoned the
hysterical and demonic speech of overthrow of the Bolsonaro administration and
said: “I am still on Bolsonaro’s side. I will fight for him with all my weapons.”
