The Hybrid War Cobra Clutch
So what happens next?
Rousseff's government, in the last few days, has managed to organize a somewhat minimalist base capable of preventing impeachment, yet incapable of assuring governance. At least the Supreme Court now seems to be finally inclined to examine the -- dubious -- juridical merits of the Congress-driven impeachment process.
What's certain is that the Globo media empire, in the last stretch, will go no holds barred to twist the vote towards impeachment -- including a twisted, spurious last-minute Car Wash bombshell; that's how the judicial/media complex works.
This sheds new light on Car Wash's lethally mistaken move of trying to incriminate Lula by all means necessary -- without serious evidence. And that was the last straw that laid bare to the so far silent majority, the "deep Brazil," the stark fact of a highly politicized "fight against corruption."
The ball is now with the Brazilian attorney general. Either he positions himself as a lowly partisan, or with a necessarily impartial Brazilian Public Ministry. This might entail "saving" Rousseff but at the same time trying to tarnish Lula's political capital for good.
As for the Supreme Court, it's now more than obvious that they should authorize legal action against notorious crook Cunha -- leading to his inevitable removal as president of the lower House. A serious total package would imply the whole impeachment farce being judged unconstitutional, period.
Even the OAS secretary-general, Luis Almagro, has dubbed it a surrealist farce, "the world upside down" of the notoriously corrupt chasing away an honest President who always favored the fight against corruption. The "secret" of the whole parliamentary conspiracy -- to which Western corporate media is oblivious -- is that those crooks voting for impeachment on Sunday need by all means to escape the clutches of Car Wash themselves.
Amidst this gaggle of Hollow Men, it's hard to find a peaceful way out. If Rousseff is not impeached she will be unable to govern; if impeachment wins it will be tarnished as illegitimate. Assuming the impeachment motion is approved in the House, the Senate could have up to May 11 to finally deliver its verdict. Rousseff would then be automatically suspended for up to 180 days, during which time the President will be "judged"; all bets will be off; and Hybrid War will keep paralyzing with a cobra clutch a key BRICS member. Mission accomplished?
