Default Yes, the History repeats itself

I think a new Operation Condor is urgent.

In South America and in the World.

Going back more in time, in the period before the Second World War, there was still the powerful England - even under the Zionist influence, but it was still standing -, and the Third German Reich.

Hitler's foreign policy was to approach and alliance with England, precisely to destroy Bolshevism and Zionism.

This alliance should defeat the Soviet Union, which was the Bolshevik empire.

The Duke and Duchess of Windsor and former Prime Minister David Lloyd George met with Hitler, and a friendly and strategic alliance was already taking place between Hitler's Germany and Chamberlain's England, against Bolshevism / Zionism, and for the good of the world.

But then, under the orders of Zionism, England and France started World War II.

I see, in the medium term geopolitics, the United States in the position of England, Brazil in the position of Germany, and China in the position of the Soviet Union.

The United States and Brazil must defeat the influence of the Left / Zionism, within their own countries, and together, for the good of the World, they must defeat the International Left and its servant China.

Regarding the bolded part: that's an interesting observation. It was the jews who brought about the devastating communist revolution in both the Soviet Union and China, and the alliance between the jews and the Chinese is very strong, as I've shown here on VNN:

Of course, you're right, but that would be extremely difficult in a country like the US, where jews control literally every aspect of society (media, banking, politics, academia, entertainment industry, sports, etc.). And as I've shown in my thread about Latin America, jews are extremely influential in Brazil as well, which is something that most Westerners probably don't know.

Certainly, Comrade Stewart, the Zionist influence is extremely strong and affects every aspect of society in the United States, and there is great Zionist influence, yes, in Brazil.

But the task of combating Zionism / the International Left must be accomplished; I believe that a process is started with this objective, when we talk about these topics here at VNN, and when we read, for example, the important threads that you start here, like "Jewish influence in China".

Our task is really huge.

Lutador, as you know there has been a movement in Brazil to restore the old monarchy. In your opinion, is that a viable option to combatting jews and Zionist influence, or is it an idea whose time has passed and the country should remain a republic, albeit a White-controlled one?

On that same line of thought, has there ever been any kind of separatist movement for southern Brazil to be its own nation, with Porto Alegre as the capital? Not counting the Confederate States of America, similar ideas have been discussed in the US, such as the Northwest Initiative, but have always come to naught.

Comrade Ray,

the Brazilian Monarchist Movement still exists, but it is almost only virtual, on the internet.

One of the main sites of this movement:

https://www.monarquia.org.br/

*
We have to study all the options, but as Comrade Stewart tells us, the Zionist influence is strong, and perhaps the return of an Orleans e Bragança to power is not enough to weaken Zionism / Left ...

I am a fan of the first Brazilian Emperor, Pedro I, and I have already visited his crypt in São Paulo, and in the same crypt are the Brazilian Empresses Maria Leopoldina and Amélia de Leuchtenberg.

As I said before, Military Intervention is the strongest Movement in Brazil.

Regarding the separatist movement in the South, it is precisely a leftist / Zionist tactic to create smaller, weaker countries that are more easily controlled by the leftists, so I oppose this.

I think that a Military Intervention, or something like that, could start a new phase so that, in the future, we can better fight against Zionism / Left.

The military intervention might be the best option, it sounds like. I have no idea how much the Brazilian armed forces are controlled by the jews and would follow their orders. All I know is the u.s. military is totally beyond redemption and have been the bitches of Big Jew for over a century. Hell, they fought two world wars for them which were utter catastrophes for Whites. They are the enemy of the American people and the rest of the world for that matter. Hence the term 'green niggers,' like I've been documenting in the long-running thread about them. Honestly, I really don't know what the solution to this mess is, other than starting with what Mr. Linder says here and exterminate the jews once and for all.

Here, too, there is a strong influence of the Left / Zionism in the Armed Forces, Comrade Ray, and some officers and generals prefer to receive a high salary payment, instead of making a Nationalist Revolution ...

But there are some Nationalist officers and generals.

What we can do, for the time being, is to improve our knowledge, participate in forums like this, and participate, if possible, in some anti-Left project.

Left / Zionism is powerful, but it is not God.

The International Left / Zionism / Freemasonry of that time overthrew the Brazilian Empire:

Groups were strongly influenced by Freemasonry (Deodoro da Fonseca was a Mason, as well as his entire ministry) and by Auguste Comte's positivism, especially after 1881, when the Positivist Church of Brazil emerged. Its directors, Miguel Lemos and Raimundo Teixeira Mendes, started a strong abolitionist and republican campaign.

https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procla...lica_do_Brasil

After the proclamation of the Republic, on November 15, 1889, the Brazilian imperial family was exiled to France and Austria. The direct descendants of the last emperor, Pedro II, the children of the imperial princes, Isabel Leopoldina de Bragança and Luís Gastão d'Orléans, were raised in France until the age of majority.

https://www.google.com.br/search?hl=...sclient=psy-ab

In 1993, there was a referendum to decide between Monarchy and Presidentialism
Seven million voters voted for the return of the monarchical regime against 37.1 million who chose to remain presidential.

https://www.vix.com/pt/mundo/551559/...ial-brasileira

The monarchical flag is very similar to the republican flag and was created in 1822, due to the Independence of Brazil. The yellow represents the House of Habsburg, by Empress Leopoldina of Austria, and the green, that of Bragança (D. Pedro I). It is still used by pro-monarchy movements.

Chamberlain's England and Hitler's Germany were friendly nations until 1939, when the Left / Zionism acted, and made France and England declare war against Germany.
To complete the crime, the Left / Zionism overthrows Chamberlain and puts Churchill in power;

Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany were friendly nations until 1943, when the Left / Zionism acted and overthrew Mussolini and put Badoglio in power, and Italy stands against Germany;

Getúlio Vargas's Brazil and Hitler's Germany were friendly nations until 1942, when the Left / Zionism acted, and created a situation that ended up resulting in the mysterious torpedoing of Brazilian merchant ships, and then Brazil declares war against Germany.

The Left / Zionism is powerful and continues to do so today.

The Left / Zionism does not care about nations, it only cares about their profits and their power.

We have to destroy the Left / International Zionism.

Yes, history repeats itself.

Before, the Soviet Union was in this position ...

Today, China, a servant of the International Left, wants world domination.

One of the Chinese weapons:

Huawei and the 5G towers that advance across Europe and the world.

The current global situation - global economic recession, unemployment, closed companies, the Chinese biological weapon COVID-19, China / Left buying WHO and most of the companies and entities in the World, the George Floyd case and the agitation of the International Left against Nationalists , monuments of great Western Nations personalities being overthrown, invasion of Italy and Europe by people of African descent, increasing tension between the USA and China - despite everything, it should, in my opinion, pave the way, in the medium term, for our purposes, and for our own Nationalist World Order.

We are behind the scenes, for now.

No shit, Mr. Pompeo. I don't recall ever walking into a department store in 1982 and seeing "Made in USSR" on ANYTHING, much less on EVERYTHING.

The attack against the Left can be on any day, at any time.

First against leftist forces in Brazil itself, then in the World

The element of surprise is fundamental.

The operation already has a date.

This is Correa, paratrooper of the Brazilian Army.

The time when Brazil barred thousands of Jews fleeing Nazism


Residents of the Jewish quarter in Chelmza, Poland, a country invaded by Nazi troops in 1939


João Fellet - @joaofellet - From BBC News Brasil in São Paulo

20/01/2019 06h48

Diplomatic documents show that Brazilian consulates refused at least 16,000 visa applications from Jews fleeing the Holocaust or trying to rebuild their lives after World War II.

In July 1938, the Brazilian consul in Budapest (Hungary), Mário Moreira da Silva, sent to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Oswaldo Aranha, a secret circular in which he informed that he had refused to grant visas to 47 people "declared to be of Semitic origin. "(Jews) who sought to migrate to Brazil.

They tried to flee while the Hungarian government, an ally of Nazi Germany, set in motion a series of anti-Semitic policies - which, six years later, would culminate in the sending of half a million Hungarian Jews to extermination camps.

The consul in Budapest had already taken a stand against the entry of Jews into Brazil. In a letter sent to the minister months before, he had called them "very (very) pernicious" and "unassimilable, who only know how to work - without the least scruple and only aiming at profit - as business intermediaries, producing nothing useful".

It was not an isolated position in the government. Diplomatic documents compiled by Maria Luiza Tucci Carneiro, a professor in the History Department at USP, show that Brazil rejected at least 16,000 visa applications made by Jews fleeing the Holocaust or trying to rebuild their lives after World War II.
The documents - which are being incorporated into the Virtual Archive on Holocaust and Anti-Semitism (Arqshoah) - shed light on a little-known side of the history of immigration in Brazil.


ETHNIC FORMATION OF BRAZIL

According to Tucci, visa refusals to Jews followed orders from the top government. As of 1937, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued at least 26 secret circulars imposing barriers to entry for the group, considered undesirable for the ethnic formation of the Brazilian people at a time when Brazil encouraged the migration of white and Christian Europeans. Similar restrictions were imposed on black and Asian foreigners.

In the case of Jews, however, the barriers affected a group that found itself increasingly cornered by discriminatory measures in much of Europe. It is estimated that about 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazi war machine, the greatest genocide of the 20th century.

The rules that barred Jews were in force even after Brazil declared war on Germany and sent soldiers to Italy, only losing validity at the end of Eurico Gaspar Dutra's government in 1950, when the horrors of the Holocaust had already been widely spread.

"The documents dispel the myth that Brazil has always received immigrants with open doors and reinforce the Vargas government's collaborative stance with Germany's anti-Semitic policy," Tucci tells BBC News Brasil.

According to her, the government imposed restrictions on Jews and other minorities through secret documents while, abroad, it sought to present Brazil as a country "with humanitarian and salvationist projects". A circular dealing with the subject said that refusing visas to Jews should "be justified without any reference to the ethnic issue".

Author of several books on anti-Semitism in Brazil, Tucci has studied the documents since 1995, when Itamaraty opened its collection on the subject. She says she believes that the number of visas refused to Jews was much higher than what she has already counted.


'SUBVERSIVE' JEWS

The first of the secret circulars listed a series of rules to stop "numerous waves of Semites, which the governments of other nations are committed to removing from their respective territories".

The justification, according to the ministry, was to prevent the entry of migrants who sought, "in an unacceptable competition to local commerce and national workers, to parasitically absorb (...) an appreciable part of our wealth, when, in addition, they did not they are also engaged in the propaganda of dissolving and subversive ideas ".

The circular determined, among other things, that Jews should not be given visas, except in cases where they had Brazilian spouses, had assets in the country, intended to travel for tourism or had "notorious cultural, political and social expression". The same restrictions did not apply to Christian Europeans.

If the consulate suspected that a Jew was trying to pass himself off as a Christian in order to obtain a visa, he could ask for his certificate of baptism and suspend the process until, "through investigation, the question can be clarified." According to the circular, the rules had been developed by the ministries of Foreign Affairs and Labor and approved by President Getúlio Vargas.

At the time, other state agencies also adopted racist policies. In the article Discrimination and Intolerance: the undesirables in the selection of the Brazilian Army, the researcher of the Historical Archives of the Army (AHEx) Fernando da Silva Rodrigues cites rules that prevented the access of Jews, blacks and Muslims to the schools that formed the officers of the corporation. The rules were defined in 1937 by the then Minister of War, Eurico Gaspar Dutra, and were valid until 1946.


DEPORTATION OF OLGA BENÁRIO

Many historians have already analyzed the ties between the Vargas government and the Nazi regime in Germany, when the two countries maintained secret agreements for the exchange of information about communist militants. The most famous cooperation involved the deportation by Brazil of the German Jew Olga Benário, spouse of the Brazilian communist leader Luís Carlos Prestes. Returned to Germany, she was arrested and executed in a gas chamber in the Bernburg camp in 1942.

It was only after successive attacks by German and Italian submarines on the Brazilian Merchant Navy and under strong pressure from the USA that the country broke diplomatic ties with the Axis powers (Germany, Italy and Japan), in 1942, joining two years later with the Allies on the battlefield.

Brazilian government documents indicate that the affinity between the Vargas government and Nazi Germany went beyond opposition to communism - and that many high-ranking Brazilian diplomats had anti-Semitic views.

Tucci says that Chancellor Oswaldo Aranha himself, honored in Israel for his role in the UN General Assembly that resulted in the creation of the country in 1947, exposed anti-Semitic ideas and conceived part of the secret orders that barred the entry of Jews into Brazil.

In a letter sent in 1938 to the then federal interventor in São Paulo, Adhemar de Barros, Aranha warned about the risks of Jewish immigration to the State.

"The Israelite, due to an age-old tendency, is radically averse to agriculture and does not identify with other races and other creeds. Isolated, there is still the possibility of being assimilated by the environment that receives him (...). , however, an irrefutable danger to the future homogeneity of Brazil ", wrote the chancellor.

Aranha said that a few days earlier he had been approached by an Austrian Jew living in Brazil, Frederico Zausmer, who asked for the migratory regularization of another 300 Jews residing in São Paulo - a fact that, for the chancellor, aroused "just suspicions of the existence of a ' Getto 'already in training in that capital ".

In those years, ghettos were the neighborhoods in countries under Nazi yoke where Jews were forced to live, and from where they were collected and sent to extermination camps.


ORPHAN OLD AND CHILDREN

After the Second World War (1939-1945), many of the formulators of restrictions on the migration of Jews remained in the Brazilian government. In 1948, the National Immigration and Colonization Council instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to reinforce barriers against the group.

A circular instructed Brazilian consulates to "not target Jewish passports" - which, according to Tucci, closed the door on many old and orphaned children who had survived the Holocaust and were looking for a new homeland.

Despite the restrictions, thousands of Jews managed to move into Brazil before and after the Holocaust, giving rise to a community that now has 120,000 members, according to the Israeli Confederation of Brazil (Conib). Tucci says that a good part of the group entered the country with false documents, with tourist visas or posing as Christians.

This was the case of the family formed by Avraham, Frymet, Markus, Salomea, Josef and Sara Gottlieb, Polish Jews who obtained visas at the Brazilian embassy in Rome with false baptismal certificates.

Others enlisted the help of prominent Brazilian Jews, such as lawyer José Mindlin (1914-2010), who personally negotiated the granting of visas with authorities. Mindlin played a central role in the reunification of several families, such as the Adler, German Jews.

Tucci says that in 1938, the merchant Moritz Adler was arrested by the Nazis and taken to a concentration camp near Frankfurt. Mindlin was contacted by relatives of the German who were already in Brazil and obtained a visa for him to leave the country for Brazil with his wife, Frieda. The Brazilian consulate in Frankfurt, however, denied visas for the couple's two daughters, Tilly and Elsberg.

The mother decided to stay with the children, and Moritz traveled alone. The family was not completed again until the end of 1941, when Mindlin obtained visas for the girls. In Brazil, the Adlers created Estrela, which is still one of the main national toy brands.

There were also Jews who arrived in the country thanks to diplomats who refused to comply with restrictive orders. One of them was Luiz Martins de Souza Dantas, Brazilian ambassador to France between 1922 and 1943, who granted hundreds of visas to Jews without informing the government of the applicants' ethnic origin.

One of the families saved by Dantas was that of the Czech painter Lise Forell, who in 1940 boarded the ship Alsina on her way to Brazil with her parents, maternal grandparents and an uncle. Forell had a successful career in Brazil, exhibiting works at the São Paulo Museum of Art (Masp) and in several galleries.

Because of Dantas's insubordination, Vargas filed an administrative proceeding against the ambassador, who spent 14 months in detention in Germany after Nazi troops invaded the Brazilian embassy in 1942. In 2003, he was recognized as a Righteous among the Nations by Yad Vashem ( Holocaust Museum) in Jerusalem.

Questioned by the BBC, the Foreign Ministry stated through its press office that the immigration policies of the time were developed by the Ministry of Justice and that diplomats only executed them.

Grandson and author of a biography about Oswaldo Aranha, Pedro Corrêa do Lago was contacted through his publisher, but did not respond.


RESURGENCE OF ANTISEMITISM

Tucci says that knowing Brazil's stance towards Jews fleeing Nazism is of great value at a time when the world is again debating ways to deal with large numbers of migrants and refugees.

"We have a very interesting mirror here to rethink a series of restrictive policies and actions that are being adopted by several countries", says the professor.

Tucci also states that the discrimination against Jews in the times of Vargas and Dutra serves as a warning for the "reinvigoration of anti-Semitism" in Brazil and in the world. "Anti-Semitism always reappears in moments of crisis, in the erosions of democratic thought, when myths about the existence of a great Jewish conspiracy to dominate the world reappear in other guises," says the historian.
