just like in France
Olympic
Games could be considered one of the most effective disorientation
operations used by the mainstream media against the public. We can
see this clearly in Brazil, where the event is being used for the
cover up of significant developments concerning the constitutional
coup against Dilma Rousseff.
As TeleSur
reports:
A coup is
happening right now in Brazil and the Rio Olympics is a
smokescreen. While you are watching the games, the Brazilian
Senate voted to continue the impeachment against suspended
president Dilma Rousseff, despite evidence in her favor and
despite scathing leaks against the people behind the impeachment.
But this has largely been ignored because the media is fixated on
Michael Phelps' latest win, the strange color of diving pool, and
the various inspiring stories of different athletes.
Not that
that's a bad thing, but in so doing, it's running cover for the
interim Brazilian government and the coup against Dilma Rousseff.
Even in Brazil, Olympians are all over the front pages. News of
the protests, corruption in the interim government of Michel
Temer, and Wednesday's impeachment vote against Dilma Rousseff,
are buried.
You
probably didn't hear, for instance, that it was revealed this week
that the construction company Odebrecht, secretly paid millions of
dollars to both interim president Michel Temer and interim foreign
minister Jose Serra, for their 2014 and 2010 presidential
campaigns. This comes after three interim ministers have already
resigned, over corruption charges since May.
The final impeachment vote against
Rousseff will now likely come just after the Olympics, but how
much more will be missed, ignored, or deliberately obscured, while
the cameras focus their lenses on the Olympic podiums?

We saw
something similar this summer in France. The media literally buried
the mass movement against the anti-labor bill with the help of the
football European championship. As described
previously, “the extension of the state of emergency for another
three-months comes right when Hollande it needed. The football
European championship party was over and there was nothing to
distract attention from the anti-labor bill that he wants desperately
to pass.” Finally, Hollande's zeal led France into the neo-Feudal era.
What should
we expect in Brazil, after the lights of the Olymprics will be turned
off? Will the corrupted Right try to finish the job against Rousseff
before the end of them, in order to open the road to the neoliberal
nightmare?
