By the time you read this post, the Brazilian election Chaos will be history and Israel’s election will be front and center.
And In Case You Missed it… after a surprise theft victory in the Brazilian elections, their stock market Ibovespa Stock Index Plunged 20% (equal to a loss of 10,500 in the DOW) while their currency (REAL) crashed 11%.
President (Lula) Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s surprise runoff victory over Flávio Bolsonaro unraveled bullish bets across local stocks and the real.
Without wasting a moment, and beyond the turmoil in Brazilian markets and the local currency, new political developments emerged late Monday afternoon.
Flávio Bolsonaro said the unhinged socialist regime under President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva had seized his passport and banned him from leaving the country.
Keep in mind that Lula is the same guy who stated in March 2009 that the global financial crisis was caused by “white people with blue eyes”.
Ironically (or NOT) Lula will probably end up begging “white people with blue eyes” to bail Brazil out of their ongoing political and economic mess.
You could say that the Brazilian election was textbook Voter Fraud 101.
Unfortunately, these 50.1% to 49.9% elections are just to placate the sheeple.
And the losers will be told:
“Better luck time!”
“You were so close!”
“Vote harder!”
Israel on Deck
And now we wait for the outcome from Israel’s election, where Trump boasted in a Truth Social post on Monday that a vote for Netanyahu would “finish the job” of stopping Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon.
Ironically (or NOT) Netanyahu’s opponent Gadi Eisenkot, an Israeli general, politician, and leader of the Yashar party looks similar to Bolsonaro in the Israeli polls and considered likely to unseat Netanyahu.
We wonder if Netanyahu pulls off a victory whether he will seize Eisenkot’s passport.
Eisenk0t is a thorn in Netanyahu’s side.
And that was made obvious when he told a crowd that after the first three months of war with Iran, he thought things were going in the wrong direction.
“I saw a deep dysfunction in the decision-making process,” he says. “I saw that political and personal considerations were put above everything else.”
He means Netanyahu.
And he’s pledging to voters the first thing he’ll do as prime minister is to do the thing Netanyahu has refused to do…to launch an official national investigation into the security failure of October 7.
Ouch!
Most people would not touch that subject.
And for that reason, we hope he doesn’t become so distraught that he commits suicide if the election goes to Netanyahu.
Next up? Our midterms which will definitely rock our boat…especially if the Democrats win both the House and Senate.
