Olavo de Carvalho says, including other institutions, that “every evil that happens in Brazil comes from Evangelical churches,” which he equated with the Communist Party


Olavo de Carvalho says, including other institutions, that “every evil that happens in Brazil comes from Evangelical churches,” which he equated with the Communist Party

By Julio Severo
In a controversial statement made on March 4, 2020, Olavo de Carvalho, who is a self-exiled Brazilian immigrant in the U.S., said:
“Every evil that happens in Brazil comes from one or more of these institutions: Armed Forces, Communist Party, Freemasonry, Catholic Church, Evangelical Churches. Not that they are per se necessarily bad, but whoever moves up the ranks of one of them ends up trying to use it to take advantage and fuck the rest of the population. To demolish the prestige of these institutions would be to take away the murder weapon from millions of cheaters.”
Olavo de Carvalho
It is an occult-oriented statement, where he attacks seeming to defend, where alleged “truths” are placed in a labyrinth of confusion and lies.
Each institution offended by Carvalho, who is today the Rasputin of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, needs to defend itself from the man most decorated and loved by the president of Brazil. As an evangelical, I speak only for evangelicals who need this defense.
Translation: “Every evil that happens in Brazil comes from one or more of these institutions: Armed Forces, Communist Party, Freemasonry, Catholic Church, Evangelical Churches. Not that they are per se necessarily bad, but whoever moves up the ranks of one of them ends up trying to use it to take advantage and fuck the rest of the population. To demolish the prestige of these institutions would be to take away the murder weapon from millions of cheaters.”
It is not the first time that Carvalho has offended evangelicals. In September 2018, he said: “Evangelical churches have done more harm to Brazil than the entire left did.” If you thought that the entire left is the greatest evil against Brazil, Carvalho pointed out that there is a greater evil than the left. The only difference is that while he once suggested that evangelical churches are a greater threat than the Communist Party, now he says that evangelical churches and the Communist Party are on the same level.
Carvalho has already had a clash with televangelist Silas Malafaia, the greatest evangelical leader in Brazil, although he has backed down, probably fearing a large-scale repercussion from evangelicals against him.
In fact, shortly after Carvalho’s offense against evangelicals, Bolsonaro visited him to give him all the support. For Bolsonaro, Carvalho is above all and everyone.

Then, because of Bolsonaro’s passion for Carvalho, CPAC Brazil ended up being used as a mere propaganda platform to exalt the man who equated Evangelical Church with Communist Party.
As an evangelical, I am going examine Carvalho’s statement in parts, in a brief three-point analysis, showing the inconsistency of his thinking about each of the institutions.
First point. Carvalho said: “Every evil that happens in Brazil comes from one or more of these institutions: Armed Forces, Communist Party, Freemasonry, Catholic Church, Evangelical Churches.”
In full, this statement applies to the Communist Party and Freemasonry. I don’t see how “Every evil that happens in Brazil” could be applied to the Armed Forces. Like any human institution, the Armed Forces have flaws, but they serve, to the best of their ability, to protect Brazil. Carvalho’s statement was offensive to the Armed Forces. It is therefore up to them to defend themselves.
If he had said, “Every evil that happens in Brazil comes from the Communist Party and Freemasonry,” there would be no way to refute.
In the case of evangelicals, Jair Bolsonaro has for many years received support from evangelical congressmen, including in the fight against a tax-funded gay material promoting homosexual indoctrination in schools. Before the Brazilian presidential elections, Bolsonaro did the possible and the impossible, including being baptized in the Jordan River by a Pentecostal minister, to get electorally close to evangelical churches, which eventually supported him and continue to support him.
If Carvalho thinks Bolsonaro is terrible for Brazil, then his statement “Every evil that happens in Brazil comes from Evangelical churches” is in line with this reasoning, because evangelical churches are great supporters of Bolsonaro.
What you can say without making a mistake is that “Every evil that happens in the Bolsonaro administration comes from Olavo de Carvalho.” Education Minister Ricardo Vélez, chosen by him, has a history of opposition to Trump and support for Hillary Clinton. This is as confusing as Carvalho’s dirty words and occult history.
Bolsonaro fired Velez and confessed that he had blindly appointed him at Carvalho’s recommendation. Instead of learning from his own mistakes, Bolsonaro appointed, again at the recommendation of Carvalho, a new education minister who has the same passion of socialists for the increase in daycare centers. This minister launched in 2019 a campaign marked by astrology — coincidentally, Carvalho was one of the most famous professional astrologers in Brazil.
All of this is very confusing. Who can deny that “Every evil that happens in the Bolsonaro administration comes from Olavo de Carvalho”?
Brazilian Foreign Minister Ernesto Araújo, also recommended by Carvalho, has publicly exalted the Islamic occultist René Guénon, who was Carvalho’s greatest spiritual reference. Guénon was the spiritual father of Julius Evola, the guru of Italian fascism.
All of this is a harbinger of much confusion to come. Who can deny that “Every evil that happens in the Bolsonaro administration comes from Olavo de Carvalho”?
Roberto Alvim, appointed, praised and fired by Bolsonaro after he defended a nationalism plagiarized from Nazism, is also a reflection of the confusion of Carvalho’s mind, as Roberto is a passionate adherent of Carvalho. This was one of the biggest scandals in the history of Brazilian culture.
With this scandal involving Nazism, who can deny that “Every evil that happens in the Bolsonaro administration comes from Olavo de Carvalho”?
These are just some of the examples that show that Carvalho’s trademark in the Bolsonaro administration is confusion.
Second point. Carvalho said: “Not that they are per se necessarily bad, but whoever moves up the ranks of one of them ends up trying to use it to take advantage and fuck the rest of the population.”
Actually, the Armed Forces, the Catholic Church and the Evangelical Churches are not per se bad. But by declaring that the Communist Party and Freemasonry are not necessarily bad, Carvalho says what only an occultist could say.
In this occult reasoning, the Communist Party is not bad, but is bad he who uses it “to take advantage and fuck the rest of the population”?
In this occult reasoning, Freemasonry is not bad, but is bad he who uses it “to take advantage and fuck the rest of the population”?
On February 12, 2020, Carvalho said:
“When a communist accuses his enemies of a crime, investigate it and you will find out, in ninety-nine percent of the cases, that it was he who committed the crime.”
Because an occultist is no better than a communist, his words are of use against himself:
“When an occultist accuses his enemies of a crime, investigate it and you will find out, in ninety-nine percent of the cases, that it was he who committed the crime.”
In this reasoning, isn’t Carvalho himself who uses his great influence on Jair Bolsonaro and his children “to take advantage and fuck the rest of the population”?
How then deny that “Every evil that happens in the Bolsonaro administration comes from Olavo de Carvalho”?
Although in his capacity as the main evangelical leader in Brazil, Malafaia has warned against astrologer Olavo, there is no doubt that Carvalho tried to use evangelical churches “to take advantage and fuck the rest of the evangelical population.” Among evangelicals hypnotized, deceived and used by him are Congressman Marco Feliciano, an Assemblies of God minister, and Rev. Daniel Lopez, of Snowball Church.
Third point. Carvalho said: “To demolish the prestige of these institutions would be to take away the murder weapon from millions of cheaters.”
Since when does the Communist Party have prestige? Only communists give prestige to communism. By placing Armed Forces, Communist Party, Freemasonry, Catholic Church and Evangelical Churches on the same level, Carvalho seriously offended the Evangelical Churches. I repeat, I speak only for evangelicals.
Initially, in his strategy Carvalho only used to attack the Communist Party as essentially bad. With this strategy, he attracted and deceived the Armed Forces, Catholic Church and Evangelical Churches. Today, with frequent use of labyrinthian reasoning, he attacks everyone, and praises Bolsonaro — the ladder he needs to climb higher and higher “to take advantage and fuck with the rest of the population.” And he’s succeeding. He obtained, without any merit, from Bolsonaro the highest award from the Brazilian government.
Bolsonaro is filling his administration with men who have the mindset of Carvalho — men so blind with passion that if Carvalho says that excrement is chocolate, they will eat this “chocolate” day and night. And they already eat an abundance of this “chocolate” — through the daily dirty words that come out of Carvalho’s mouth. These “chocolate” lovers see problems in everything and everyone and say amen to everything Carvalho says, including: “Every evil that happens in Brazil comes from the Armed Forces, Communist Party, Freemasonry, Catholic Church, Evangelical Churches.” And, in chorus, they see Carvalho as Brazil’s only salvation. Carvalho is their messiah. Eduardo Bolsonaro’s passion for Carvalho is only a sample.
Messianic projects, when limited to a cult with lunatic people, do limited damage to themselves. But when a nation’s president embraces the “messiah” and his projects, the entire nation suffers the consequences of this madness. Unfortunately for Brazil, Carvalho is Bolsonaro’s Rasputin.
Evangelical churches that have taken a courageous stance against socialism now need to take an equally courageous stance against evil at the other extreme. They need to repudiate the slander that “Every evil that happens in Brazil comes from the Evangelical churches” and they need to open their eyes to see that “Every evil that happens in the Bolsonaro administration comes from Olavo de Carvalho and his adherents.”
This is why I have made efforts to alert evangelical churches. Recently, the website of Charisma, the largest Pentecostal magazine in the world, based in Florida, published my article about evangelicals who support Bolsonaro while he is under the influence of Rasputin. You can read this article here. Only the power of prayer can break the chains that bind Carvalho to Satan and his deceptions and that bind Bolsonaro and his children to him.
If he were just a nut from any sect, he wouldn’t deserve anyone’s attention. But he is a nutcase who has the attention of the most important man in Brazil: the president himself. Nobody more than Bolsonaro grants weight, importance and propaganda to his crazy things. Thanks to Bolsonaro, Carvalho will be as famous in Brazil’s history as Rasputin became famous thanks to the Russian czar’s stupidity.
It is no wonder that, using his influence on Bolsonaro and using his condition as a Brazilian immigrant who lives self-exiled in the U.S. to escape “persecution,” Carvalho uses his freedom graciously granted by the U.S. to persecute a Brazilian evangelical: he produced a video asking the Federal Police to investigate me. He recognizes that with my alerts, I hinder his schemes “to take advantage and fuck with the rest of the evangelical population” evangelical in Brazil. I, who have always been attacked by left-wingers, homosexualists, pro-abortion activists and Muslims, now I am attacked by Bolsonaro’s Rasputin.
Recently, Carvalho publicly called me a “false evangelical,” as if he were some evangelical authority or advocate of evangelicals, qualified to define what is or is not a true evangelical. His only definition of a true evangelical is the evangelical who blindly follows him. Evangelicals outside his sect he calls “evangelical donkeys.”
On October 13, 2016, Carvalho said:
“Luther and Calvin were hatred-filled souls. The former was guilty of genocide, the latter the creator of totalitarian government. Their followers are on the way of Hell, and if it is necessary to revile them using all the curse words to take them from this mess, I will do it pitilessly.”
Translation: “Luther and Calvin were hatred-filled souls. The former was guilty of genocide, the latter the creator of totalitarian government. Their followers are on the way of Hell, and if it is necessary to revile them using all the curse words to take them from this mess, I will do it pitilessly.”
Swearing pitilessly is what he has been doing for years against evangelicals and against everything and everyone who stands in the way of the cult of his ego and personal ambitions. Swearing pitilessly is what he has done against me for years.
Translation: “Protestantism was born from hatred and blood thirst. Its Christian inspiration is ZERO.”
It is the height of hypocrisy that the greatest Brazilian activist of the Inquisition, living in the largest Protestant and historically anti-Inquisition nation in the world, uses the American freedom conquered by evangelicals to slander and attack evangelicals. It is as hypocritical as Brazilian socialists, who hate capitalism, but prefer to live in the U.S., the largest capitalist nation in the world.
That is why it is so important to alert evangelicals.
Such an alert is necessary, because contrary to what Carvalho said, there is no prestige in the Communist Party, there is no equality between the Communist Party and Evangelical churches, and, with regard to occult opportunism, Carvalho is nothing more than, in his own words, one of the millions of cheaters who use and abuse the conservative movement and the Catholic Church as tools “to take advantage and fuck with the rest of the population.”

Son of Brazilian President Is Interviewed by Breitbart, But U.S. Readers Are Unable to Understand His Advocacy of a Strange Brazilian History of Anti-Protestantism and Anti-Semitism and the Real Nature of His Conservative Ideas


Son of Brazilian President Is Interviewed by Breitbart, But U.S. Readers Are Unable to Understand His Advocacy of a Strange Brazilian History of Anti-Protestantism and Anti-Semitism and the Real Nature of His Conservative Ideas

By Julio Severo
Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of the Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, was interviewed by Breitbart on February 2020. The interview, titled “Globalists Are Trying to Delete Our History,” pointed how he thinks that it is important for Brazil to restore its history.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
The Breitbart said,
Bolsonaro applauded Americans for being aware of their history, lamenting that he could not say the same for many of his compatriots.
“In Brazil, if you go to the streets, asking people, ‘who are the Brazilian founding fathers?’ I can guarantee for you, 90 percent of the people won’t know how to answer this question,” he predicted. “So this is something that we have to rescue and the conservative movement that is getting strong and stronger in Brazil, we are trying to improve, trying to rescue, because a people without memory is a country without culture.”
Because the U.S. public is completely unable to understand Brazilian history, Bolsonaro tried to use comparison, as if U.S. history and Brazilian history had the same parallels. Yet, is his comparison real?
Even being a Brazilian, I would love to see America returning to her roots and history. Yet, would it be good to see Brazil returning to its roots and history?
In the time of the U.S. Founders, there was tolerance. I am holding in my hand the book “The Worthy Company: The Dramatic Story of the Men Who Founded Our Country,” by M.E. Bradford (CrossWay Books, 1988). I read it as soon as it was published, and I carry it in all my trips.
CrossWay Books is a major evangelical publisher.
The Worthy Company records 55 Framers of the U.S. Constitution. Two of them were Catholic, and the other Framers were Protestant. For an American reader, there is no surprise that in a U.S. population 98 percent Protestant, tolerance allowed two Catholics to participate in the making of their constitution.
The Worthy Company contains the biographical sketch of each framer, their theology and faith in God.
The generosity of U.S. conservative evangelicals is striking. When I explained to CrossWay Books in 1988 I could not afford their books, they sent me a box of them. Totally conservative and evangelical. Free of charge.
If my conservative articles are a blessing to Brazilian evangelical readers today is because U.S. conservative evangelicals were and have been a big blessing to me.
I have also read “America’s God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations,” by William Federer, on how faith in God is inseparable from true U.S. patriotism. I read all this encyclopedia in 1996.
In Brazil, no major evangelical publisher could publish a history book titled “The Worthy Company” because Brazilian history is riddled with persecution against Jews and Protestants. Jews were persecuted by the Inquisition, which operated also in Brazil.
So Brazilian evangelical readers, like me, found hope only on translations from U.S. books, including Halley’s Bible Handbook, which in its earlier issues showed that faith in God is inseparable from true U.S. patriotism. It showed the faith of George Washington and other U.S. presidents. This handbook also explained what the Inquisition was. I read all this handbook in 1986.
What good is it for Brazilian evangelicals to read Brazilian history? Protestants were the heretics who should be exterminated. In fact, the first Protestants who came to Brazil in the 1500s were exterminated by Jesuits. So it is no surprise that the “Brazilian Founding Fathers” whom Eduardo Bolsonaro intends to rescue had no tolerance for Protestants.
A significant example was Northeast Brazil, colonized in the early 1600s by Dutch Calvinists, who established a society with tolerance for Protestants, Jews and Catholics. This was the first society in Brazil with real religious tolerance, and it had a real parallel with the U.S. In fact, under such Dutch Reformed administration, Jews built a synagogue in Recife, Brazil, the first synagogue in the Americas. Such synagogue would have been impossible in Catholic Brazil, but not in the Dutch Reformed colony in Northeast Brazil.
Eventually, the Dutch Calvinists were expelled. And the Jews who lived in their free society chose to follow them to New York to escape the Brazilian Catholic Inquisition. These were the first Jews in New York, and they founded the first financial system in America.
The Dutch Calvinists left to Brazil massive bridges, museums, theaters and other buildings that stand beautiful even today. This is real history.
The Dutch Calvinists could have built many, many other buildings, but they were killed and expelled. The expelled Jews could have built in Northeast Brazil the successful financial system they build in New York. But Brazilians chose intolerance, anti-Protestantism and anti-Semitism as the foundation of the new Brazil. So it is no surprise that Northeast Brazil has historically been a wasteland of poorness and disgrace.
U.S. history has no Inquisition against the Jews. Brazilian history has the Inquisition against the Jews. How can be U.S. history and Brazilian history parallels? It seems that even Eduardo Bolsonaro, who has revealed his personal wish that he would like to live in the U.S., not Brazil, does not know Brazilian history!
Catholic Brazil fought and exterminated the only and first society with religious freedom and real parallel with the U.S. society. Which side does Bolsonaro intend to rescue — the oppressors or their victims?
When I was a boy studying in a Brazilian school under the right-wing military rule, I was taught that Brazil’s fight against Dutch Calvinists was “patriotism.” Even though Brazilian Catholics celebrate such “patriotism,” I have never done it. In fact, in school Protestantism in history was taught as a religion oppressing, persecuting and killing Catholics. Such was the public-school system in Brazil under military rule.
School history books called Dutch Calvinists “heretic” invaders. There was a Jewish boy in the school and he was ostracized by other students, who used to say, “He is a Jew!” as if being a Jew were equal to be some kind of repugnant individual. I felt much pity of the boy because of the treatment he received from other boys.
I knew what the Jewish boy suffered because often I was mocked just because I was an evangelical. Most boys were Catholics, so in a public school where everything Catholic was celebrated, a Jewish boy and an evangelical boy were seen and treated as abnormal, with all kinds of nicknames.
I cannot imagine how much hatred Jews and Dutch evangelicals suffered in Brazil in past centuries.
The classes began with the teacher forcing students to pray the Catholic Rosary of Hail Mary. As an evangelical, I was not happy to be forced to do it in a public school and also to see my religion be disparaged in history books.
Is such history that Eduardo Bolsonaro intends to rescue?
Even though Jair Bolsonaro won the election because of the massive support of evangelicals tired of seeing socialist policies promoting abortion and sodomy, the Bolsonaro administration has been using such evangelical support as just a platform to strengthen other groups, including monarchists, who defend that Brazil in the monarchical rule was better than today.
During the monarchical rule, Americans and Europeans who visited Brazil said that laziness and corruption reigned in Brazil. Is such “history” that Eduardo Bolsonaro intends to rescue?
During the Brazilian monarchy death penalty was abolished and sodomy was legalized in the 1800s. So Brazil was possibly the first nation in the Americas, under Catholic monarchy, to legalize sodomy. Death penalty was abolished because the rampant corruption affected everything, including the legal system.
It is true that the Brazilian monarch, Dom Pedro 2, was so marveled, when he visited the United States in the 1860s, at the progress of the U.S. society and at how American Protestants worked hard that he invited the defeated confederates to move to Brazil. He was trying to solve the Brazilian tradition of “laziness and corruption.” About 10,000 confederates moved to Brazil. All of them Protestant.
They had to live in separate towns built by them. They had to build separate cemeteries, because they were not allowed to bury their dead in public cemeteries. They had to live separate because even in the 1800s the Catholic Brazil hated Protestants.
During the monarchy, Protestants were banned from holding any public and government office. They were just second or third-class citizens.
This is the Brazilian history. If Eduardo Bolsonaro intends to rescue it, good for him and Catholics. But it is not good for me as an evangelical. A history that persecuted Jews and Dutch Calvinists, a history that ostracized American Protestants, a history that banned Protestants from holding government posts does not represent me.
So is there a parallel between U.S. history and Brazilian history as Bolsonaro tried to show? Only in his imagination.
Brazil has a sad history of laziness, corruption and high taxes that began long before the birth of Karl Marx. So to try to blame all the Brazilian problems on Marxism is just dishonest.
During the military rule, which was right-wing in the Brazilian standard, phone lines were so expensive as a land property. Brazilian cars, which were low quality in comparison to American cars, had a massive tax of 50 percent! High taxes are a terrible tradition in Brazil. Even today, under Bolsonaro, if you buy a car, which remains also in low quality in comparison to American cars, you pay half of its value in taxes.
Bolsonaro cannot blame high taxes on socialists, because they are a cursed tradition in the Brazilian history.
Breitbart’s interview presented Eduardo Bolsonaro as “the representative of the burgeoning conservative movement in his country that brought his father to power last year after over a decade of socialist rule.”
There was no word or suggestion of the massive evangelical support. Censorship? Political revisionism? Bolsonaro has the habit of discarding the role of evangelicals in the election of his father, and he has been rebuked for it by Silas Malafaia, the most prominent evangelical leader in Brazil.
The Latin American pattern is where evangelicals increase their numbers, conservatism reigns. Today, Guatemala is 50 percent evangelical and as soon as an evangelical president was elected, the Guatemalan embassy in Israel was moved to Jerusalem. Even though evangelicals massively voted for Bolsonaro, he is delaying his promise to them of moving the Brazilian embassy to Jerusalem. If Bolsonaro were an evangelical, he would be much more conservative and the Brazilian embassy would have already been moved to Jerusalem in the first year of his administration.
It is just a pity that Breitbart does not understand anything about Brazilian history and politics. If it did, it could present some relevant questions to Bolsonaro, including “why, while U.S. history is marked by Protestant tolerance of Jews and Catholics, Brazilian history is marked by Catholic intolerance against Protestants and Jews?”
He could also ask why Eduardo Bolsonaro does not talk about how evangelicals were fundamental for the victory of his father. “Fundamental” is the exact adjective Jair Bolsonaro used about evangelicals when he was interviewed by CBN in 2019.
The Breitbart reporter said, “The elder Bolsonaro won the presidency on a campaign of family values, individual freedom, and divorcing Brazil from malevolent international forces such as the governments of China…” If she had made a simple Google search, she would see that Bolsonaro visited China in 2019 in the 70th anniversary of its communist revolution. Contrarily to conservatives, who say that China is a communist nation, Bolsonaro called China a “capitalist nation.”
Sure, in comparison to Venezuela, Brazil is a paradise. But in comparison to the U.S. and its history, what is Brazil? If you are unhappy to pay about 10 percent in taxes when buying a high-quality car in the U.S., come to Brazil to pay about 50 percent in taxes when buying a low-quality car!
The whole interview showed that the interviewer knows nothing about Brazil and its history, and it showed, for watchful readers, how ridiculous Eduardo Bolsonaro was by trying to make U.S. history and Brazilian history as a parallel worthy to be rescued by conservatives.
As a conservative evangelical, I gladly support efforts to rescue U.S. history and traditions. But I doubt that U.S. evangelicals, who are the main political base of Trump, would be glad to see the rescue of a Brazilian history where Protestants, including American Protestants, and Jews were mistreated and persecuted.
If Breitbart does not understand anything about Brazilian history, what does Bolsonaro really understand about conservatism? In 2019, he held a gay flag in the CPAC Brazil he funded with over 1 million of Brazilian tax-money. Socialists use tax-money to fund their private ideological events. But real conservatives never do it. One thing the U.S. conservative public does not know about Brazil right-wingers is that they love tax-money as much as socialists do.
For the opportunity he gave for CPAC to hold — and for the massive tax-money he gave to fund — its event in Brazil, they gave him a special time in CPAC 2020 in the U.S.
Tax-funded “conservatism” is not a conservative idea.
Actually, he is riding the massive conservative evangelical wave, but giving no credit to it. Instead, he has been using this wave just as a platform to advance other groups and his own ambitions.
For the sake of U.S. readers who do not know the Brazilian reality, Breitbart should schedule a new interview with Bolsonaro, with necessary and pointed questions. It could also take the opportunity to teach him real Brazilian history.
The important lesson is: It is no coincidence that the largest capitalist nation in the world — the United States — is also the largest evangelical nation in the world. It is also no coincidence that the explosive growth of conservatism in Brazil, which is the largest Catholic nation in the world, follows the explosive growth of evangelical churches in Brazil.
In fact, to counter the explosive growth of socialist parties and movements in Latin America fueled by the Liberation Theology promoted by the Catholic Church, the CIA supported Pentecostalism in Latin America for its Prosperity Gospel that is a conservative and natural enemy of Marxism.
How do Breitbart and Bolsonaro overlook this so obvious reality?
The Brazilian conservative Catholic movement that is politically capitalizing on the growth of evangelicals is stridently pro-Inquisition.
Is the explosive growth of conservatism in Brazil a result of monarchical and colonial Brazil, where anti-Protestantism and anti-Semitism reigned, or a result of the explosive growth of evangelicalism? Without bias, this is a question very easy to answer.
Yet, Breitbart never presented this question to Bolsonaro.

Tax-Funded CPAC Brazil, Brazil’s Largest “Conservative” Event, Criticizes… Tax-Funded Socialists


Tax-Funded CPAC Brazil, Brazil’s Largest “Conservative” Event, Criticizes… Tax-Funded Socialists

By Julio Severo
Defending the minimum state, Eduardo Bolsonaro presented CPAC Brazil, which he said it was the biggest conservative event in Brazil. Although the idea of “minimum state” means “less taxes” and fewer government people spending tax money, what was seen at CPAC was “conservatives” criticizing tax-funded socialists at an event that cost the Brazilian taxpayers US$ 275,000.
Eduardo Bolsonaro introducing Olavo de Carvalho at CPAC Brazil
CPAC stands for Conservative Political Action Conference. CPAC Brazil, which happened on October 11-12, 2019 in São Paulo, was the first ever event of this kind in Brazil.
Although the event was designed for 2,000 people, according to its organizers the conference had about 1,200 participants.
For socialists, it is very easy to use the state machine for their power projects. Now, in the right-wing version, Eduardo Bolsonaro used the state machine for his personal power project.
Instead of promoting their causes with their own money, socialists always use the money of others, preferably taxes. Not unlike that, “Prince” Eduardo promoted CPAC in Brazil not with money from his own pocket, but with tax money. If this is not right-wing socialism, then what is it?
However, the problem is not just taxes being used to fund what Eduardo Bolsonaro called Brazil’s biggest conservative event. As stated on the event website itself, the CPAC Brazil conference was officially held by the Indigo Foundation, which has already advocated the legalization of the medical and recreational use of marijuana.
“The legalization of possession, distribution and sale of marijuana for medical and recreational purposes could solve several Brazilian public problems, such as prison overcrowding, the existence of complex and very profitable trafficking schemes, reduction of crime rates and reduction of deaths caused by trafficking and overdose by the use of more toxic substances,” argued Indigo Foundation, which sponsored CPAC Brazil.
Because Eduardo Bolsonaro and his allies did not want, according to conservative values, to fund CPAC Brazil with their own money, the Indigo Foundation was used to fund the event with tax money.
This is not the first time Eduardo has held a tax-funded “conservative” event using the Indigo Foundation. In July 2018 he attempted to hold the Conservative Summit of the Americas, which was eventually held on December.
It is obvious that with so much tax money used in a “conservative” event, what was exalted was not conservatism. The exaltation was given to Eduardo Bolsonaro, who is the son of President Jair Bolsonaro. The second most exalted man was Olavo de Carvalho, a Bolsonaro advisor who for his long history as an occultist and astrologer is considered “Bolsonaro’s Rasputin.”
The Conservative Summit of the Americas, which glorified Carvalho, cost the Brazilian tax-payers US$ 125,000.
Under Brazilian law, funding events with tax money is not illegal. But from a conservative point of view, its not correct. It is even immoral.
“He paved the way for Bolsonaro to come,” said the president’s son about Carvalho’s glorification at CPAC. In March 2019 Eduardo was reprimanded by televangelist Silas Malafaia for dismissing evangelicals to credit Bolsonaro’s victory to Carvalho. Malafaia, who is the greatest conservative evangelical voice in Brazil today, was not invited to the CPAC conference, although he led millions of evangelicals to vote for Bolsonaro.
The only major international news service that wrote a report on the CPAC conference was the BBC, but only in its Portuguese edition. Its English edition ignored the event. In fact, although the U.S. has thousands of conservative websites, none have so far written about the CPAC event in Brazil.
The BBC showed a big screen at CPAC where Carvalho was exalted. The truth is that the president’s son can say and do anything he wants, from extolling a Rasputin to channeling taxes to hold a “conservative” event.
This is not the first time the BBC has addressed Carvalho. In 2017, when no conservative U.S. channel wrote about Carvalho taking part in a debate with a Brazilian socialist at Harvard University, the BBC was the only big news outlet to interview Carvalho, who said he supports the socialist idea of “minimum income,” where the state grants a minimum wage for each citizen. This seemingly generous salary would come entirely from tax money.
In a very real sense, Carvalho is not far from Satan, not only for his poorly explained occult connections, but also for being the greatest advocate of Inquisition revisionism in Brazil. Carvalho’s opinion is that American evangelicals are liars for supporting the “lie” that the Inquisition tortured and killed Jews and Protestants.
Because it is the largest Protestant nation in the world and it is the nation that most protected Jews in the world, the United States has also become the country that fought the Inquisition the most. Although Carvalho does not hide his disgust at the role of American evangelicals in helping Jews fight the Inquisition, he prefers to live in the U.S., an inconsistent behavior not unlike Brazilian socialists who criticize American capitalism and evangelicalism but prefer to live in the US.
Carvalho also said that evangelical churches did more harm to Brazil than the entire left did.
However, defending the Inquisition is not their only problem. Allan dos Santos, who was extolled by Eduardo Bolsonaro and Mercedes Schlapp as official representative of the “conservative press” in Brazil, is an adherent of Carvalho who was unmasked by journalist Felipe Moura Brazil in his report in Crusoé magazine “Os Blogueiros de Crachá” (Accredited Bloggers) about bloggers who support Carvalho and Bolsonaro and receive financial favors.
Moura Brasil’s report shows how Allan dos Santos and even Felipe G. Martins, the president’s special international adviser, allegedly act in conspiracies to overthrow ministers who are not aligned with Carvalho. One of the overthrown ministers was General Carlos Alberto dos Santos Cruz, who allegedly objected diversion of his ministry’s tax money to fund Carvalho and his groups.
Thanks to the action of these militant groups, there is no real freedom in the Bolsonaro administration. All ministers who tried to criticize Olavo de Carvalho’s harmful influence on the government were fired. So if people say in the future that Carvalho was a person respected by everyone in the Bolsonaro administration because all the ministers praised him, it’s because no one had a choice.
How not to praise Carvalho? He received from Bolsonaro the highest award from the Brazilian government, a clear signal, according to the words of a Bolsonaro’s party leader, that Bolsonaro is in love with Carvalho. It is also a sign that Carvalho cannot be criticized in government.
Fortunately, I am not in government and can criticize Carvalho with Christian responsibility. When Carvalho advised President Bolsonaro to appoint Ricardo Velez as Minister of Education, I reported that Velez supported Hillary Clinton and did not like Trump. When Velez fell, Carvalho advised Bolsonaro to choose Abraham Weintraub, exposed by me as a socialist rightist.
In Brazil, it is not the leftist mainstream media that criticizes Carvalho for his defense of the Inquisition. In fact, the left does not seem to care that he defends such past atrocities. His biggest critic on this subject is me. Because of my criticism, Carvalho, using and abusing his influence in government, has already appealed to the Federal Police to investigate me, as if it were a crime to criticize him for the Inquisition and his occult involvement.
Although evangelicals were the main supporters for Bolsonaro in the Brazilian presidential election of 2018, there are very few evangelicals in senior government positions. These evangelicals are also not free to criticize Carvalho.
In an exclusive interview with HuffPost Brazil, Eduardo Bolsonaro scoffed at the denunciation of journalist Moura Brasil, saying that there is “a deliberate persecution of anyone who does not align with the conduct desired by the left.” (His interview was inconsistent, because if he does not like the left, why did he accept to be interviewed by left-wing HuffPost?)
For the simple fact that the journalist denounced witch hunt in Carvalho’s service, he was labeled a leftist. It is an unjust accusation.
Felipe Moura Brazil is the editor of a best-selling book by Carvalho and the author of a video against socialism with over 7 million views in the United States. The video (https://youtu.be/bKhR9i5CGkA),) entitled “How Socialism Ruined My Country,” was shared by Dennis Prager, a well-known anti-Marxist Jew.
There is no Brazilian anti-Maxist video more famous in the U.S. than Moura Brasil’s video.
If criticizing occult influences in the Bolsonaro administration makes you vulnerable to being labeled a “leftist,” Eduardo Bolsonaro will soon use this charge against me, although I have anti-Marxist militancy long before him. During the Lula administration in 2006, I criticized his homosexualist campaign. One of the biggest exposés published in the U.S. against the Lula administration was written by me in 2006.
While in 1999 Jair Bolsonaro was supporting Hugo Chávez and his Venezuelan socialism, I was fighting socialism and the gay agenda. I am the author of the book “O Movimento Homossexual” (The Homosexual Movement), originally published by the Brazilian branch of Bethany House Publishers in 1998. This was the first Brazilian book against the homosexual agenda.
Because of my Christian conservatism, I am even criticized by the U.S. left.
So who participated in CPAC Brazil, where the most exalted men were Eduardo Bolsonaro and Olavo de Carvalho?
The American speakers were:
Matt Schlapp
Mercedez Schlapp
James M. Roberts
Christine S. Wilson
Charles R. Gerow
Senator Mike Lee
Kassy Dillon
Since they do not understand Portuguese, the Americans were unable to understand that instead of being with representatives of Brazilian conservatism, they were actually seeing representatives of the Olavo de Carvalho movement who, not surprisingly, were the Brazilian speakers, including:
Minister Ernesto Araújo, an open fan of Olavo de Carvalho, René Guénon and Julius Evola. Islamic occultist René Guénon, much recommended by Carvalho for decades, had as his main disciple Evola, whose books advocating a right-wing occult inspired Italian fascism and Nazism.
Abraham Weintraub, the education minister who promised to create more day care centers in Brazil than previous socialist administrations in a campaign of right-wing socialism. His ministry also launched a campaign using astrology and the Brazilian public attributed this nonsense to Carvalho’s influence on his life.
Bernardo Kuster, a former evangelical who converted to Carvalho’s esoteric political cult. Today he defends the idea that the Inquisition was a court of mercy.
Ana Campagnolo, an “evangelical” fan of Carvalho. She became famous for battling Marxism in the classroom, and was equally famous for indoctrinating students into making star charts (astrology) without their parents’ consent and knowledge.
Damares Alves, a Pentecostal minister, also spoke. Her subject was pro-family issues. She is not a Carvalho disciple but she is also not free to criticize him and some homosexualist items of Bolsonaro administration’s agenda. In fact, she has been ordered to implement such items.
CPAC Brazil also had a round table with Carvalho’s supporters — Filipe G. Martins, Rafael Nogueira, Flavio Morgenstein and Taiguara Fernandes — to discuss his importance.
In addition, there was a round table with “independent media” — a term that Eduardo uses to mean the media that extols Carvalho. In “independent media” Eduardo included Conexão Política, Visão Macro, Daniel Lopez, Terça Livre (of Allan dos Santos) and Crítica Nacional.
As president’s son, Eduardo Bolsonaro can include or exclude who he wants. He has privileges guaranteed by his father and plenty of tax money to do what he wants. The fact that he used tax money to hold CPAC Brazil shows the power of the “prince,” a term used by Major Olimpio, leader of the Bolsonaro’s party in the Brazilian Senate. He said President Bolsonaro’s children have “princes’ craze” and cause problems for their father.
The latest prince craze was for him to want to be Brazil’s ambassador to the U.S.
Daniel Lopez, who is considered an evangelical pastor and attended CPAC as “independent media,” has fallen into Carvalho’s loquacity and today promotes books openly against the evangelical faith, including books sanitizing the Inquisition. One of these books is entitled “Inquisition, a court of mercy.”
In Daniel Lopez, there is no independence from Carvalho. In fact, all the other “independent media” are not independent from Carvalho.
The hallmark of Carvalho’s supposedly rightist movement is the intransigent defense of the Inquisition. I say supposedly rightist because Carvalho himself refuses the title of right-winger and conservative. Another hallmark of this movement is Carvalho’s personality cult.
Allan dos Santos, from Terça Livre, was the main “independent journalist” exalted by Eduardo. According to UOL’s exposé, Allan has already benefited from tax money for his personal expenses. What is missing in Brazil is an “independent journalist” whose pocket is independent from tax money.
I don’t know if Matt Schlapp, Mercedez Schlapp, James M. Roberts, Christine S. Wilson, Charles R. Gerow, Senator Mike Lee and Kassy Dillon would attend CPAC Brazil if they really knew who Olavo de Carvalho is, and I don’t even know if they agree that CPAC Brazil was only used and abused to glorify Eduardo Bolsonaro, Carvalho and their supporters.
However, apparently they had the idea that the leader of the conservative movement in Brazil is “prince” Eduardo Bolsonaro. Walid Phares, CPAC’s U.S. speaker, said Eduardo is “leading a rising conservative national movement.”
I don’t know if the American organizers of CPAC are innocent and did not deserve to be duped. Last year their U.S. event banned a conservative pro-family evangelical group and hosted a homosexual group. In addition, CPAC has already featured a prominent conservative homosexual speaker, who eventually humiliated CPAC after engaging in a public pedophilia scandal.
Attempting to unite homosexuality with conservatism is something a real conservative Christian would never do or accept. But a money-driven opportunist does and accepts anything.
At CPAC Brazil, Eduardo Bolsonaro proudly posed with the rainbow flag, showing that he believes there is homosexual conservatism.
Eduardo Bolsonaro and the gay flag
If there are “conservatives” with socialist attitudes (spending US$ 275,000 of tax money to hold a “conservative” event like the CPAC), why not gay “conservatives” as well?
Nevertheless, U.S. businessman Sean Fieler displayed at CPAC Brazil in sequence the flags of the Soviet Union, Cuba and the gay movement, equating them as forms of totalitarianism.
 “It’s the most dangerous movement in the U.S. today,” he said. It is such a destructive movement that it is already infiltrating conservative groups and parties, including CPAC itself.
The Brazilian lesson that will remain with CPAC for a long time is that CPAC Americans are highly vulnerable. They preach minimal state, less taxes and denounce tax-funded socialists. But at the earliest opportunity, they accept to attend a highly tax-funded event.
President Jair Bolsonaro did not attend the event, perhaps as a dissatisfaction with Trump’s refusal to include Brazil in the OECD in 2019, after Bolsonaro showered him with several signs of good will.
At this point, CPAC organizers may be wondering if the Brazilian swamp, which is full of problems on the left, has no problems on the right. Whether it wanted to or not, CAPC eventually legitimized the extremist pro-Inquisition right that threatens true Christian conservatism. It also legitimized Carvalho’s personality cult, who spares no effort to glorify himself, even at the expense of true conservatism.
It legitimized a misrepresentation of the Brazilian conservatism.
As for Eduardo Bolsonaro, CPAC was a great toy for the “prince.”
