Operation Car Wash (Lava Jato) - How the U.S. Helped Destroy Brazil's Democracy https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/95deaf17-2072-429d-a922-230c670122d6 On January 8th, a mob of Jair Bolsonaro supporters stormed the Brazilian capital. But contrary to some of the simplistic explanations for this act that have been pushed since, its roots were planted long before Bolsonaro or Trump had ever entered the picture. The true story begins with Operation Car Wash in 2014, a lawfare campaign to destroy the Brazilian left, backed by the international media & US Government. This video is the complete story of this judicial persecution & propaganda campaign, which brought down a president (Dilma Rousseff), jailed another (Lula da Silva), and brought Jair Bolsonaro to power in the first place.
