Top Secret US memo sent from Brazil on 27 March 1964 outlining programme to undermine democratically-elected social democratic president João Goulart: "We are meanwhile undertaking complementary measures with our available resources to strengthen resistance forces. These include covert support for pro-democracy street rallies....and encouragement [of] democracy and anti-communist sentiment in Congress, armed forces, friendly labor and student groups, church, and business. We may be requesting modest supplementary funds for other covert action programs in near future." The typical CIA playbook. In this case, the operation was successful. President Goulart was overthrown in a military coup which began 4 days later. A brutal US-backed military dictatorship was installed and ruled for the next 21 years. Trump's CIA just failed against Lula though. Hope for the world. The US empire is eminently beatable in Latin America - and everywhere. Washington puppets Milei, Paz, Noboa et al are next.
