Press TV has conducted an interview with Dennis Small, a Latin America expert from Leesburg, about the resignation of Brazil’s Planning Minister Romero Juca.
The following is a rough transcription of the interview.
Press TV: Michel Temer has not even been sworn in for two weeks as acting president and has already been facing almost daily protests for his resignation. Why?
Small: I think that Mr. Temer is learning the hard way that the life expectancy of his government is about equivalent to that of toilet paper, used toilet paper to be clear. His government was put in by an international operation for regime change in Brazil; by the same people who are out to tear apart the BRICS alliance, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, and these would be the major political and financial interests in London and in Washington, and of course Wall Street.
So Michel Temer was used to get Dilma Rousseff out of office, but like a stick of dynamite or used toilet paper. When it’s over, it’s over.
The scandals are now continuing and the objective here is to actually bring about, as Dilma Rousseff herself said, a coup d’état. Now, where my magazine EIR [Executive Intelligence Review], founded by Lyndon Larouche, the well-known American political figure, where we differ with Dilma Rousseff is that she insists that this coup against her is entirely a domestic matter and that’s just manifestly not the case. It is part of an international operation targeting not just Brazil but also China, Russia, India, South Africa and many of the countries that are allied with them as an alternative to the collapsing and bankrupt international financial system of the transatlantic sector.
Press TV: Hypothetically if Rousseff does actually get impeached and if Temer somehow through a graft probe or through the pressure that is given right now from street protest is somehow sidelined, what is it that the people of Brazil themselves would want if they don’t want this administration?
Small: I don’t think it’s the people of Brazil that have expressed themselves in this question of Rousseff and even the ... operations with the latest scandal. It’s this so-called Lava Jato or Auto Wash, Car Wash corruption scandal which has been initiated. But this has been run by the media especially with the global network, which is tied directly into the British monarchy and also of course by State Department figures including the so-called anti-corruption judge, Sergio Moro, who himself is a creature created by a training program by the United States’ State Department.
So this is not popular will. This is very similar to what happened in Italy in the early 1990s and the so-called clean hands or Mani Pulite operation, in which all of the institutions of the country were destroyed, so that the banking and the financial interests could then take over. One of the most important figures in the Italian case, as your listeners may recall, was none other than Mario Draghi, who is now the head of the European Central Bank.
So unless these coups d’état are stopped, where we are headed is towards actual bankers’ dictatorships masquerading under an anti-corruption scandal in numerous countries.
That’s the real danger in Brazil. It’s not going to be stopped inside the country. It will have to be stopped internationally by the alternative, which the BRICS and others are putting together against the bankrupt financial system that is behind the operation against Rousseff and now this latest operation against the unfortunate and hapless President Temer.
