Was Braulia Ribeiro, Former
Director of Brazilian YWAM, Reduced to Mere Propagandist of a Witch and an
Astrologer?
By Julio Severo
Known years ago for her role as director
of the Brazilian branch of YWAM (Youth With A Mission), which was a large universe
in terms of international opportunities, Braulia Ribeiro today chose a smaller
universe, and there are worrying clues that this universe is far from
Christianity that she claims to believe.
For example, her official Twitter account
has as main message expressing her thoughts a statement
by Clarice Lispector, a Brazilian writer who was considered a closet witch.
Perhaps not so discreet, as she was one of the distinguished guests at the 1st
World Witchcraft Congress in Bogota, Colombia, in 1974.
Lispector’s literature is marked by
eroticism and even lesbianism — characteristics that witches, open or closet,
have.
Her death in 1977 was involved in
premonitions that she had months before. Premonition is another characteristic
of witches.
How a former YWAM director puts a (open or
closet) witch’s statement as a central Twitter message is a mystery to me. Lack
of discernment? Dissatisfaction with the Christian universe? Apostasy?
Researching Braulia’s Twitter more, I saw
her sharing ideas from other occultists and esotericists.
In a single day, November 16, 2020, she
shared two statements (here
and here)
by Eric Voegelin.
The problem with such propaganda is that
Voegelin was anti-Protestant.
According to the Cambridge University
Press in its work “An Agnostic View of Voegelin’s Gnostic Calvin,” written by
William R. Stevenson, Voegelin believed that “the ‘Gnosticism’ of the Modern
age had its roots in the Christian experience, and that the Protestant
Reformation most explicitly nourished its growth.”
Since Voegelin saw communism and Nazism as
the greatest forms of Gnosticism, he was accusing Protestantism of having
produced communism and Nazism.
But Stevenson makes it clear that
“Voegelin’s characterizing John Calvin’s project in particular as Gnostic
anti-intellectualism manifesting an obvious will to power has no sound basis in
Calvin’s writings.”
Voegelin saw the Protestant Reformation as
the “Great Confusion” saying that the Reformation was “probably the biggest
piece of political mischief concocted by a man [Luther], short of the Communist
Manifesto.”
He did not spare attacks on Luther, saying
that with the Reformation “Luther destroyed the balance of human existence.”
Although Luther wrote a lot and had many books published, having been the great
unifier of the German language through his translation of the Bible, Voegelin
did not hide his total contempt for Luther’s intelligence.
Voegelin attacked Luther for his
“antiphilosophism.” That is, for him Luther was against philosophy. He
mentioned “[Luther’s] almost incredible lack of wisdom.”
He also said:
“Luther did not possess the powers of
intellect that enable a man to grasp the essence of a problem… he was
singularly lacking in intellectual insight and imagination.”
If Braulia now likes to make propaganda of
anti-Protestant men, she should have no problem in making propaganda of Fidel
Castro, an anti-Christian dictator.
In general, only Brazilians mentally
affected by Olavo de Carvalho see Eric Voegelin as a “philosophical” reference.
Carvalho is Voegelin’s greatest promoter in Brazil. Carvalho’s adherents always
promote what he promotes.
In the defense of Voegelin, Carvalho and
his adherents claim that he fought Gnosticism. But Voegelin’s interpretation of
Gnosticism was pure fanaticism: He saw Protestantism as the greatest producer
of Gnosticism and accused that Protestantism’s anti-Gnosticism was
anti-intellectualism. It is like a witch accusing Christians of witches and
claiming that witchcraft is true intellectualism and accusing that any attack
on witchcraft is anti-intellectualism.
Voegelin is also part of perennialism.
Considering that there are connections between Carvalho and the Islamic
occultist René Guénon, it is not surprising to find such connections between
Voegelin and Guénon. A Voegelin website unites the two who,
although of different styles, did not differ in their occult soul. Apparently,
the same maze of confusions and contradictions that was present in Guénon was
also present in Voegelin. And it is undoubtedly present in Carvalho.
Did Braulia become a discreet adherent of
Carvalho just as Clarice Lispector was a “discreet” witch? I do not know. I
only know that I saw her, on her Twitter account, making intense propaganda for
Brasil Sem Medo — a Braziliam website that “discreetly” belongs to Carvalho,
who is the director of its editorial board.
For example, on November 19, 2020, Braulia
said:
“Right-wing media in Brazil cannot survive
(and neither do writers) without your support!! Subscribe to @JornalBSM.”
On the same day, she made another
propaganda of the astrologer’s website:
“Once again I ask, those who like my
articles and the other incredible columnists of @JornalBSM, please subscribe.
It costs less than a dollar a day!!”
On other days, she made a lot more of propaganda.
Faithful to its occult master, on the
“About” page of Brasil Sem Medo, nothing appears on the origins and purpose of
this organization, as
I recorded on November 22, 2020.
When I call Carvalho an astrologer, it is
not by cursing. The vast majority of people do not know that the first time he
became famous in Brazil was as a professional astrologer.
In addition to Carvalho, another boss of
Brasil Sem Medo is Bernardo Kuster, who years ago was an evangelical and worked
in an evangelical church, but left everything to follow Carvalho’s
“philosophy.” Following his master’s line, today Kuster propagandizes the book
“The Inquisition — A Mercy Tribunal.”
What is the use of saying that you are a
pro-life conservative if you defend the Inquisition? Defending the Inquisition
is like defending abortion:
* Abortion tortures and kills.
* The inquisition tortured and killed.
Legal abortion and Inquisition are morally
and immorally equal.
There is no moral difference between the
abortion industry and the Inquisition machine.
There is no moral difference between
defending the Inquisition and defending the communist assassin Fidel Castro.
I am sure that the ideological descendants
of Kuster will make in the future propaganda, together with the book “The
Inquisition — A Mercy Tribunal,” of books with titles such as “Legal Abortion —
A Procedure of Mercy.”
True conservatives denounce abortion and
the Inquisition.
False conservatives do not do this.
Although, compared to YWAM, Carvalho’s
universe is small, its network of proselytism and occultism that uses
right-wing baits is immense.
As Brasil Sem Medo uses a right-wing tone
as bait, Braulia became their evangelical tone or bait to attract evangelicals.
I don’t know if Braulia realized that she became bait or if she cares about it.
Olavo de Carvalho is a black hole of
occultism, ideological radicalism and opportunism, only bringing into his orbit
minds that he can swallow and use to glorify his own movement and ego.
He has already done this on the former
Midia Sem Mascara website, which received sponsorship from large companies. But
no columnist received a salary. For example, I worked at Midia Sem Mascara for
more than ten years without receiving a single penny of salary.
I was not the only columnist used and
explored by Carvalho. Atheist writer Heitor de Paola and Catholic writer Graça
Salgueiro, who were the biggest columnists for Midia Sem Mascara, were also
used and discarded.
However, it was not easy for Carvalho to
deceive me at all, because when it came to the question of the Inquisition,
which he defends in the same way that communists and Nazis defend their murderous
machines, I confronted him and continue to confront him.
Today I understand that Carvalho’s
right-wing ideology has occult roots and has parallels with Julius Evola, a
adherent of Guénon who was a guru of the Italian fascist dictator Benito
Mussolini.
Will Braulia be able to make such a
confrontation or will she continue to submit to her role as bait to get
evangelicals for Carvalho through Brasil Sem Medo?
Will Braulia speak against the
Inquisition?
Will she talk about Carvalho’s occult
connections and the proselytizing of his activism?
I highly doubt it. Propagandizing Clarice
Lispector, Eric Voegelin and Carvalho himself, she will continue as bait. In
fact, loving Lispector, it will be impossible for Braulia to see any occultism
in Carvalho, Voegelin, Guenon and other occultists.
In 2009, I had to confront Braulia for her
leftist activism against evangelicals who fight against the gay agenda. My
confrontation is found in this article: “Director
of YWAM in Brazil attacks Christian activism against the anti-‘homophobia’
bills and homosexual ‘marriage.’”
She was disgusted with this article. In
fact, her disgust lasted so long that on
April 21, 2016 she said on Twitter:
“I don’t block anyone. But Julio Severo I
block with pleasure. Listening to him makes me want to become a member of the
São Paulo Forum.”
She ended up entering the Carvalho Forum,
which is so radical in esoteric fascism as São Paulo Forum is radical in
socialism!
Perhaps in her revolt against me she is
quite happy to ally herself with a man who has already produced several videos
asking the Bolsonaro administration in Brazil and the Federal Police to
investigate me for crime of free speech, because I exposed Carvalho’s occultism
and his advocacy of the Inquisition. With Braulia, will everything become a
forum against Julio Severo?
Although
Carvalho says he is much persecuted, the vast majority of reports and articles
about him in English accurately present him as a man with an occult history.
One of the greatest books against the occult, “War For Eternity: Inside Bannon's
Far-Right Circle of Global Power Brokers,” by Benjamin R. Teitelbaum, presents
the main names of Guénon’s Traditionalist School, including Steve Bannon, Julius Evola,
Alexander Dugin and Carvalho, who was only mentioned, albeit rarely, because of
the much propaganda Bolsonaro does for him.
Teitelbaum
is an American Jewish writer and his book deals with occultism on the right in
the U.S., Russia and Brazil.
Carvalho
has not threatened Teitelbaum and other Americans who exposed their occult
connections, but he has, in several videos, threatened
me, asking the Bolsonaro government and the Federal Police to investigate me. His claim is that my exposés against him involving the
Inquisition and esotericism are a threat to Brazil’s national security.
The
difference between him and me is big. He says he is persecuted when the U.S.
press exposes his occult connections, while for years I have been attacked by the
leftist press in the United States solely because of my conservative
evangelical stances against abortion and homosexual sin.
While
Carvalho is “persecuted” for his occult connections, I am persecuted by the
left and by Carvalho himself for my Christian connections. All criticism of the
U.S. press against Carvalho is not because of Christianity, but because of
occultism and extremist rightism. All criticism of the U.S. press against me is
because of Christianity.
As for Braulia and her presence in Brasil
Sem Medo, I suspect that her only use is, in addition to fishing evangelicals,
only softening among evangelicals Carvalho’s strong anti-Protestant image. This
image was produced by himself, with his insane statements against evangelicals,
including his public desire for the state police machine to persecute me. If
that is not fascism, in the style of Julius Evola and other adherents of
Guénon, I do not know what fascism is. Using the state police machine to pursue
critics is standard behavior for fascists.
Yet, if the goal is goal is to go after
me, Braulia, who has hated me since 2009, sees no problem in such fascism.
In 2009, I thought that Braulia Ribeiro’s
biggest problem was pro-homosexual leftism. Today I think she is changing her
direction. She is now an evangelical collaborator of the occult fascism that
dominates the Olavo de Carvalho movement.
