Russia Insider.png Brazil's Dilma Out Hybrid War Hyenas Set 54 Million Votes on Fire Pepe Escobar, Russia Insider, Moscow, 13 May 2016 Never in modern political history has it been so easy to "abolish the people" and simply erase 54 million votes cast in a free and fair presidential election. Forget about hanging chads, as in Florida 2000. This is a day that will live in infamy all across the Global South - when what was one of its most dynamic democracies veered into a plutocratic regime, under a flimsy parliamentary/judicial veneer, with legal and constitutional guarantees now at the mercy of lowly comprador elites. After the proverbial marathon, the Brazilian Senate voted 55-22 to put President Dilma Rousseff on trial for "crimes of responsibility" - related to alleged window dressing of the government's budget. This is the culmination of a drawn-out process that started even before Rousseff won re-election in late 2014 with over 54 million votes. I have described the bunch of perpetrators of what Brazilian creativity has termed <http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2016/04/30/brazils-i-golpeachment-i-t he-1-solution.html> 'golpeachment' (a mix of coup - "golpe" in Portuguese - and impeachment) as Hybrid War hyenas <https://www.rt.com/op-edge/340207-rousseff-brazil-impeachment-regime/> . Sophisticated golpeachment - supported by what amounts to an Electoral Inquisition College - has propelled Hybrid War to whole new levels. Hybrid War as applied to Brazil exhibited classic elements of a color revolution. Of course there was no need for no-fly zones or humanitarian imperialism to "protect human rights" - not to mention provoking a civil war. But considering the high resistance level of the victim state, where civil society is very dynamic, Hybrid War designers in this case bet on a mix of capitulation - and betrayal - of local elites, mixed with "peaceful protests" and a relentless mainstream media campaign. Call it 'Civil War Light.' That carried with it a fabulous cost-benefit ratio. Now the (immensely corrupt) Brazilian political system and the current executive/legislative/judiciary/mainstream media alignment can be used by the usual suspects for their geopolitical agenda. Welcome to regime change light - politics, in a nutshell - as war by other means on the BRICS. A new software, a new operating system. Carrying a pathetic corollary; if the US is the Empire of Chaos, Brazil has now gloriously reached the status of Sub-Empire of Scoundrels.
