Greetings to all,
I'm not particularly gifted in terms of seeing things, but I do try to be an avid follower of other people's visions.
Is anyone here familiar with Jair Bolsonaro? They're calling him the Trump of Brazil and he's largely expected to win the election there. He's on record as saying things such as that Pinochet ought to have killed more dissenters during his time as dictator of Chile (over 3,000 Chilean citizens were murdered under the Pinochet regime) and has spoken glowingly about the military dictatorship that ruled Brazil up through the 80s, stating that ,"the error of the dictatorship was that it tortured, but did not kill." He also stated back in the 90s that, if he ever became president, he would begin a coup and shut down the Brazilian National Congress. He regularly talks about arresting "the Left" in Brazil and is openly hostile to women, gays, lesbians, and other minorities. He's kind of a scary guy. Wikipedia: Jair Bolsonaro
Is anyone seeing if he in fact wins? Any visions of what we can expect to happen in the country? I don't have any roots or connections to Brazil but this guy scares me on a deep, fundamental level.
Hi Matt, two weeks ago a client asked me to predict the Brazil election. I knew nothing about the candidates but threw some cards and did some inner visioning. I looked at the two candidates about five weeks after the election to make sure I was getting images of them well past instead of before the election. Bolsonaro was smiling and Haddad alone and unhappy. Then my client told me who they were and I was very sad about it. I hope I'm wrong.
That's horrifying. However flawed, we have checks and balances in place and a long tradition of democratic rule of law that has prevented us from sliding into the abyss under Trump. Brazil's tradition of democracy is relatively short lived. I really fear for the worst there.
FYI, this article just posted in the Washington Post. It appears authoritarianism and fascism continues to rise, for the moment. Sending light to Brazil’s people..
This may be the link to the Washington Post article that Lauri H. was referring to:
"Brazil shed a military dictatorship. Now it looks again toward iron-fisted rule. "
Can't bring myself to click "like" but thanks Lauri and Michele for pointing to the article. It explains some of the backstory, that polls say the people want a tougher more authoritarian governments to solve economic problems and crime. Maybe, but I wonder whose cyber bots are inundating Brazilian social media in favor of a fascist solution.
He was just elected.
Anti gay, misogynistic, nationalist, demonizes his opponents, promises to be hard on crime, simplistic in his views - who does he remind you of?
