Brazil’s military is preparing to step in to overturn the results of the nation’s recent controversial presidential election, according to reports.
Military officials are planning to invoke Article 142 in an effort to defend incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro.
The move will see the military assume control of the embattled nation and annul the election results while restoring law and order to Brazil.
The notoriously corrupt Socialist party was declared the winner in the race, triggering widespread unrest from outraged Brazilians.
In a freak election, where voting machines tallied every vote, socialist felon Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva managed to “win” the election against the hugely popular Bolsonaro.
The apparent victory came despite Lula’s party losing seats in the parliament.
In an unusual step for the military, the Army has invaded favelas of Rio de Janeiro and killed top leaders of the Comando Vermelho (Red Command) drug cartel, which supports the Communist criminal Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Observers take this to indicate the beginning of a federal military intervention. The drug gangs were the only ones to celebrate the alleged election victory by criminal Lula Oct. 30, firing automatic weapons in the air in the favelas. President Bolsonaro cracked down hard on the Brazilian drug gangs.
“The heads of drug trafficking of Morro do Juramento and Juramentinho, identified as Rodrigo Barbosa Marinho, known as Rolinha or Titio Rolinha, and Hevelton Nascimento Júnior, the “Bad Boy”, respectively, were killed during a Military Police operation in Vicente de Carvalho on Thursday (1st). Three other suspects died in the action and one, who was also injured, is imprisoned in custody in the hospital” O Dia reports.
It will be interesting to see how this sorts out as another 'military option' trial run after Mynamar. Will there be civil war? Will there be a peaceful and accurate new election process? Will the military exceed their charter and take over to produce a military dictatorship? Curious minds want to know.

Looks like the guy is full of shit. I don't see anything corroborating his assertions anywhere else. All Bolsonaro did is contested the election results on Nov 22, not "annuled" it today (or tomorrow) and nowhere is any kind of recount done by Brazilian military being reported either.
This is a computer translation from Brazil from a link in The Gateway Pundit on December 5, 2022:
"Army invades favelas in Rio and kills Red Command leaders to initiate military intervention... The last of the movements we are seeing... points to "atypical movements" of the Army that would indicate the beginning of federal military intervention. In the midst of this, a new "news" is circulating on social networks.
And from The Gateway Pundit:
"The heads of drug trafficking of Morro do Juramento and Juramentinho, identified as Rodrigo Barbosa Marinho, known as Rolinha or Titio Rolinha, and Hevelton Nascimento Junior, the "Bad Boy," respectively, were killed during a Military Police operation in Vicente de Carvalho on Thursday (1st). Three other suspects died in the action and one, who was also injured, is imprisoned in custody in the hospital" https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/12/brazil-military-kills-red-command-cartel-...
So they killed some drug-trafficking Commies. Now what?

Six bills in Congress criminalize everything from cutting in line to receive a vaccine to people who spread “fake news” about how vaccines work.
Authored by Senator Angelo Coronel (PSD), PL 5555/2020 foresees the inclusion in the Criminal Code of imprisonment for one to three years for people who omit or oppose the mandatory vaccination of children or adolescents in a “public health emergency”.
The project also criminalizes, with a penalty of two to eight years in prison, people who refuse to take the mandatory doses of vaccines.
The same punishment also applies to those who spread “false news” about the vaccines or how they work.
If the individual is a public employee, the penalty is doubled.
Twitter’s Brazilian assets be confiscated for failing to properly censor citizens’ tweets, is now, officially, in diplomatic terminology, a persona non-grata.
The dispute centers around former president Jair Bolsonaro, a key ally to our President during Trump 1.0. Bolsonaro lost what was expected to be a landslide victory in a very sketchy election featuring brand-new electronic voting machines (ahem), and then after “losing,” swiftly found himself subject to various banana-republic-style criminal prosecutions for election interference and —allegedly— attempting a coup.
If the music sounds familiar, be assured that everyone else paying attention caught the tune as well. Including President Trump, who last week demanded the Brazilians knock it off and unplug the political persecutions. The Brazilians refused. Then Judge de Moraes, who apparently loves poking marsupials, announced he would personally oversee Bolsonaro’s upcoming trial.
Yesterday, Trump announced 50% tariffs on most Brazilian goods.
Also yesterday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett announced that the U.S. was imposing sanctions against de Moreas under the 2012 Magnitsky Act, an Obama-era law ironically passed as a weapon against Russian officials. ...
Secretary Bessett’s announcement explained:
“Alexandre de Moraes has taken it upon himself to be judge and jury in an unlawful witch hunt against U.S. and Brazilian citizens and companies. De Moraes is responsible for an oppressive campaign of censorship, arbitrary detentions that violate human rights, and politicized prosecutions—including against former President Jair Bolsonaro. Today’s action makes clear that Treasury will continue to hold accountable those who threaten U.S. interests and the freedoms of our citizens.”
The Magnitsky designation allows the Treasury Department to seize all US-based assets of the designated foreign individual. Turnabout is, as they say, fair play. It also revokes de Moraes’ visa. Don’t feel too much sympathy for the bald jurist. Even the Times couldn’t sugar-coat his record...
It’s easy to see what informed Trump’s views of “human rights abuses.” After spending years as the personal target of lawfare campaigns, media blacklists, and coordinated censorship in the name of “democracy,” Trump knows exactly what weaponized prosecution looks like. He’s lived it.
Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro was placed under house arrest for an alleged attempted coup meant to keep him in office after his 2022 electoral defeat.
President Donald Trump has responded by imposing a 50% tariff on the nation over its handling of Bolsonaro’s case, according to NPR.
Bolsonaro, also known as “Tropical Trump,” was put under restrictions on what he could say publicly after his defeat.
However, the 70-year-old allegedly used his three sons, who hold elected office, to amplify his message to the people, Brazil’s leftist Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes said in his decision Monday. ...
The former president allegedly said, “Good afternoon, Copacabana, good afternoon, my Brazil, a hug to everyone, this is for our freedom” through the cell phone of one of his sons during a protest in Rio de Janeiro.
Attorneys for Bolsonaro said that this message could not “be regarded as ignoring precautionary measures or as a criminal act.”
However, the radical activist judge disagreed.
