Breaking Report: The Brazilian military stands with Bolsonaro... is prepared to invoke Article 142... - Revolver News
Bolsonaro is meeting with the military after exhausting all legal options after an appeal was rejected by a corrupt, opposition-appointed Supreme Court justice.
Shit is going to hit the fucking fan down there so hard. I have a feeling this is going to show America why Trump invoking the insurrection act would've been a bad idea
I feel that, just like in the US, the patriots are in the vast majority. Not even close to an even split. Military won't have too big of a job down there once action starts.
It seems that shit has already been hitting the fan, and this is the possible result---which I hope eventuates. If it does, I am willing to think that it will be accepted with calm by the majority, and opposed vehemently by the corrupt minority...to no effect.
I keep saying that the greatest lie of Satan is that lying is NOT his greatest power. In fact, it is his only power. A power that we grant by believing it. The idea that we (or those like us) are "the minority" is such a lie. The idea that we would have armed civil war is also such a lie. (Our putative enemies are cowards and menials.) We should not withhold justice for fear of consequences---because justice is faithfulness to truth and its consequences.
The problem is that a very few people motivated to do harm can really cause mayhem. If 20-30 people decided to coordinate an attack infrastructure, it could potentially kill thousands. These types are dangerous in their zealotry and don't care about blue on blue casualties. It's hard to defend against and the best way is to shine the light of truth on what these traitorous leaders have done and are planning to do to us.
You know that Trump didn't sign the Insurrection Act?
How do you know that?
From what I understand, the IA doesn’t necessarily need to be “signed.” It can be “invoked.”
And it appears the Twitter video he released on the 6th telling the “insurgents” to go home 3 times within 90 seconds was precisely that invocation.
Meh, not as much as you might think. We have, over the years, seen the rise of several military juntas to power. Egypt is a good recent example. In 2011, Obama's CIA was color revolutionizing the Middle East in what ended up being called the Arab Spring. Egypt's long-standing president Hosni Mubarack was forced out by a military junta. It held power for a year or so, and relatively bloodlessly, before a new elected president assumed power. Were the elections legit? (lol, color revolution successful).
Burma has a ruling military junta right now. They're doing a fine job of keeping the jihadis under control. The Western media doesn't like them, so we get to hear sob stories about the Rohingya, as if they weren't carving up people in the name of the Religion of Peace™ for decades before the military said "enough." Yup, only the Religion of Peace™ could drive the buddhists to a military junta.
In both cases, the military assumed power relatively bloodlessly. The thing is that people generally recognize professional soldiers and the power they have and don't want to pick fights with them. That's not new either. Roman history shows how to seize power with an army and do it relatively bloodlessly. It's not always bloodless, but it can be with enough force and intimidation.
The thing that makes the US situation different is the loyalty test. You must have the loyalty of the army to pull off a military coup. Our country is unique. We do peaceful revolutions every four years. Every time we have an election, we turn over power to a new government. Thus, the military swears allegiance to the country, to the Constitution, and to the Commander-in-Chief. That last one is an oath to the OFFICE of CIC, not the man who holds it, and that's a really key point. Any of you veterans or currently serving military can feel free to clarify here, but as I understand it, soldiers feel a very clear duty to help ensure that peaceful transfer of power, and do not want to be put into a situation where they must break their oath to their country to support a military coup. Even if it's justified, it is seen as not their proper role to interfere in a civilian matter.
