I have often remarked that when the powers that would be, the Controllers, the Globalists or the Deep State—whichever term you prefer to assign to the great scourge afflicting sovereigns the world over—refer to threats to ‘Their Democracy,’ they are not lying.

While folks in the larger truth community often react to such statements with the usual gnashing of teeth and call the mouthpieces for the political establishment and the Media Industrial Complex—one and the same, really—liars, they are missing a larger point.

By recontextualizing what exactly [they] are talking about when they make references to ‘Their Democracy’ and threats to it, it behooves us to take pause and examine both aspects of that assertion: for one thing, such claims are often made in reference to pushes by a rising, informed citizenry to expose malfeasance and corruption on the part of said Democracy, thus exposing that Democracy as nothing but a thin veneer of bureaucracy overlaying what was once a shining Constitutional Republic, and secondly and more encouraging, such remarks tend to betray their mounting fear as the attempts of said informed citizenry to destabilize said ‘Democracy’ appear to be working.

But what is ‘Their Democracy?’

We could fill entire volumes—and probably will—by following all the seemingly-disparate and yet, unerringly connected threads that particular question unearths. But for our purposes today, we’ll distill it down into a simple, inarguable truth: ‘Their Democracy’ is a System, and it is one built atop other Systems.

I have written about this System of Systems in depth for many months, now, as I have attempted to observe and chronicle what I see as a global war between the aligned, but not always unified sovereigns against the forces of globalism. From Russia’s moves against the heart of globalist non-power in the European Union to the shrouded mists covering the cognitive and political battlefield in China—a theater I have only recently begun to parse in recent entries at Badlands Media—this System put in place by the powers that would be is made up of a confluence of political, administrative, cultural and clandestine outfits that have erected faulty and corrupt systems atop those originally built to serve the people.

By taking over the public levers of finance, education, entertainment and administration, [they] have been largely successful in obfuscating both their designs and any true chance to undo them under layers of lawfare, narrative confusion and mass psychological operations, only deploying ‘hot’ or overt operations—from election fraud campaigns to actual proxy wars—to fend off the rare kinetic and organized efforts to disrupt their hegemony.

While the sheer breadth, scope and complexity of this System of Systems can be admired from a purely intellectual standpoint, an examination of its various functions and effects should never lose sight of the rot underlying it, nor the intent—that being the willful and willing subjugation of all sovereign men and women in the west and beyond.

It should go without saying that the United States is not alone in suffering the scourge of these would-be Controllers, just as it stands to reason that patriots in the west are not alone in fighting against these Systems. But then, many reading these words today have come here by way of Jon Herold’s Devolution series, perhaps one of the most enlightening and encouraging sets of Open-Source Intelligence research to be compiled in service of our side in this Fifth-Gen War.

While we won’t delve into the particulars of Devolution today, it does serve as an important legal, administrative and ‘Actual’ backdrop to the inspiration for this piece, which concerns the concerning and even exciting developments taking place in Brazil, in the wake of another Christian Nationalist country seemingly having its own ‘democratic’ process subverted by those with the means and the Systems to see it done.

Surely by now you’ve seen the news. Despite record turnouts for months leading up to the election and despite all of his intra-party competition being rooted out in Round One, which occurred in early October, Jair Bolsonaro found himself on the ‘losing’ end of a national election to globalist and EU-sympathizer Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

More discerning minds than mine and those more partial to pouring over polling data, turnout margins and national sentiment are better served to delve into the particulars of just how staggering and surprising an ‘upset’ this is, but then, none of you are buying that particular narrative, which, while infuriating in the short term—imagine how the Brazilian population feels right about now—is already seeing equally-surprising and encouraging net effects within that nation whose ripple effects will undoubtedly be felt worldwide, and particularly in the United States.

For the Brazil election—one that is already rivaling the infamous 2020 US Election in terms of controversy—comes on the doorstep of the most contentious and anticipated Midterm Election cycle in the history of our nation.

If, in reading the above you’re tempted to come away with the impression that all hope is lost and that dreams of ‘Red Waves’ and a hungry, motivated and rejuvenated America First Congress are dissolving like vapor on the globalist winds, allow me to present a competing hypothesis, one that won’t dig deeply into the Micro so as not to risk making specific and faulty predictions, but rather one that attempts to zoom out and take in the whole game board.

And we are in a game. Whether you describe it as an Information War, Hybrid War, Modern War or any number of other permutations and combinations, the fact remains that we are locked in a global game in which we—outliers within the larger Collective Mind of society—represent the board itself, and the final prize. For no matter how complex, insidious or domineering, no ruling party or collective can lead without the mandate and tacit approval of the population. Of us.

Even if it seems at times as if we’ve forgotten what used to be a universal truth that was used to build societies atop communities, and nations atop societies.

When examining the disconcerting initial results of Brazil’s presidential election through the lens of an escalating and accelerating Fifth-Generation War—one that relies as much on ‘Actual’ or logistical deployments as it does on ‘Potential’ or Narrative ones—such an event should not be dismissed nor finalized before all its fallout has a chance to settle.

Organized crime requires an organized response, and when examining the preceding and resulting actions and statements of patriots in the United States and in Brazil, I believe we are beginning to see the hints that this is the case, and that now is not the time for doom and despair—not even for the would-be sovereign people of Brazil.

Keeping the following Macro data points in mind and reexamining the ‘shock’ of the Brazil election under this framework, I believe a larger picture begins to come into focus—one that recalls the theories myself and many of my peers have advanced regarding a potential sting operation carried out during and following the 2020 Election in the United States.

‘We have it all,’ is not some empty platitude passed around on anonymous image boards. Not from where I’m sitting, and not when we have some of the most brilliant minds and the most capable military intelligence outfits of all time overseeing the very Systems that could bring [their] Systems down around them.

Donald Trump highlighted the importance of this election—and of Bolsonaro winning it—to a global audience in the lead-up. He did so boldly and confidently, which—while not unheard of—was remarked on at the time by many in this community. In hindsight, it appears that Trump may have been drawing the attention and interest of the Collective Mind—and of sleuths in his more engaged communities—to what could prove to be an inflection point in the counter-assault on [their] election-rigging systems worldwide.

Still, in order to change, I firmly believe you must first expose, which is why I tend to focus on Narrative or Consciousness Seeding so heavily at Burning Bright and Badlands Media, leaving the parsing of ‘Actual’ and logistical events to those with better minds for it.

Taken with the lens of Fifth-Gen Narrative Warfare applied, Trump’s seeding seems to work in tandem with Bolsonaro’s himself, as, directly preceding the election, the popular populist seemed to project not just this unsavory scenario in the lead-up to the night, but also in its legal and, yes, military solutions.

In an interview with the Daily Wire (I know, I know,) prior to the election, Bolsonaro said, “And what makes us more confident about the ongoing elections is the fact that the armed forces in Brazil have been invited to join in electoral transparency.”

Read that again, and do so with everything you believe you know about Donald Trump’s ‘outgoing’ 2020 Administration in the wake of the potential implementation of Devolution and Continuity of Government operations in mind.

“The armed forces have told me that it is impossible to grant a seal of credibility or reliability to the voting system given the very many vulnerabilities or weaknesses that the system still features,” Bolsonaro continued.

Systems.

Bolsonaro was projecting not just their inherent level of engineered corruption, but also the fact that Brazil’s military was aware of the problem and was actively monitoring it heading into the election.

Add this to swirling statements and reports that Brazil’s military apparatus could be considering enacting full-scale audits to the nation’s recent elections and underlying election systems in the wake of widespread protests and tensions resulting from the disputed result, and we may be looking at the first major global elections domino as it shifts and teeters, threatening to fall.

And all while an international and engaged Public Mind looks on, with their own elections rapidly approaching.

Perhaps the most encouraging thing to come out of that Bolsonaro interview—and many like it—is the following statement:

“In the past, presidents would set up their cabinets and assign or appoint their ministers by accepting impositions given top-down by political parties to make sure the president would enjoy support in Congress. I actually appointed my cabinet, one third of which was actually made up of members of the military and another third made up by civilian professionals who were very keenly aware of their responsibilities.”

I’m sorry to come off heavy-handed, but please. Read. That. Again.

And now think of Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and yes, possibly even Xi Jinping.

I cannot know whether or not we are seeing the hints of an international Sovereign Alliance, but I do find the similarities between these nationalist leaders uncanny. In nations dominated by oligarchies and subversive Systems of generational control, we have a clutch of world leaders rising to power on the back of populist sentiment, installing a mix of military and civilian support in key leadership positions, and, yes … in the case of a pair of them at least, publicly disputing the results of highly-contentious elections.

Following on that, I also cannot know whether or not Brazil’s current situation—and whatever action is to follow by Bolsonaro and his loyalists within the Brazilian Armed Forces—will be used as a legal and narrative template for operations to come in the United States. After all, as the aforementioned Jon Herold pointed out today, Bolsonaro’s alliance with the military on the eve of his nation’s election recalls draft Executive Orders put together, but not (yet) actioned by Donald Trump. That said, from where I’m sitting, that first domino seems set to tumble toward a long, tantalizing row of others many of us have been staring at for what seems like a long, long time.

We’ll return to my ongoing examination of the Chinese theater in the Shadow War next week, but for now, as we keep Brazil top of mind, we might do so with an oft-repeated, but never confirmed Chinese proverb in mind:

“May you live in interesting times.”

Embrace the chaos, folks. Things are only going to accelerate from here. We might as well enjoy the ride.

Until next time, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright.
