The US would never interfere with elections in Latin America, specially after openly saying that they will

As reported by the guy himself, too:

https://en.wikipedia.org/...

On June 9, 2019, Greenwald and journalists from investigative journalism magazine The Intercept Brasil where he was an editor, released several messages exchanged via Telegram between members of the investigation team of Operation Car Wash – called Car Leaks. The messages implicated members of Brazil's judiciary system and of the Operação Lava-Jato taskforce... in the violation of legal and ethical procedures during the investigation, trial and arrest of former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, with the alleged objective of preventing him from running for a third term in the 2018 Brazilian general election, among other crimes. The FBI was also involved.

...Greenwald faced death threats and homophobic harassment from Bolsonaro supporters due to his reporting on the Telegram messages...The Washington Post reported that Greenwald had been targeted with fiscal investigations by the Bolsonaro government, allegedly as retaliation for the reporting

...On August 9, after Bolsonaro threatened to imprison Greenwald for this reporting.

Obviously someone is pulling strings on him, who knows what happened. Make your own judgement.

Below video mentioning future plans for Brazil, from Bolsonaro himself :

Video from party supporters

Portuguese :

Para o desespero deles (partido PT), vai ser o fim da era Lula, e a gente vai ficar por décadas no poder...

Translation :

To their despair (PT, workers party), it will be the end of the Lula era, and we will stay for decades in power...

Additionally :

Bolow an image that was taken from official WhatsApp group supporting Bolsonaro. Art resembling a 1934 propaganda, from a fascist dictator Benito Mussolini.

It was deleted shortly after of course, because they realized what they did.

Greenwald was right about the Iraq war (reporting that got him famous), and he was right about “RussiaGate” being a psyop, but at the end of the day he’s a liberal, and liberals always side with fascists and throw socialists under the bus. His unwavering commitment in bourgeois “civil liberties” and his paucity of class consciousness was bound to lead here.
