The prosecution of former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio da Silva (Lula) is being called into question by leaked documents to The Intercept. Was this a right-wing, judicial coup to prevent Lula from running in the election which Jair Bolsonaro won? The impeachment of former president Dilma Rousseff and the jailing of former president da Silva can now be seen in a very different light, as a methodical frontal attack against the Brazilian left by non-democratic means.

This is why thorough, independent, investigative journalism is so important and this is also why states from Australia, to Brazil, to China, to Russia, to Saudi Arabia, to The USA are doing their utmost to suppress it.
Control of news and publicly available information is one of the main battlefields of the Third World War being fought in our minds and authoritarians are doing everything the can to control what we can know.
Brazil is not the exception, it is becoming the rule.
