October 22, 2026–Brazil holds its runoff election to determine its next president this Sunday, October 25. This election could determine the direction of humanity for decades or generations to come, and most of your neighbors are not even aware of what is happening.
Patriotic Americans, in the tradition of our founders and their mission to defeat colonialism, have been well aware of the importance of our southern neighbors, particularly this very large country, which today has over 200 million people. Two American presidents, Garfield and McKinley, were assassinated in part because of their commitment to liberate all of the Americas from colonialism, and our southern neighbor Brazil is an important partner in that mission.
The Brazilian presidential candidates are current president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and the Epstein Class-backed Flávio Bolsonaro, son of Jair Bolsonaro, a former president of Brazil who is currently serving 27 years under house arrest for attempting to overturn the results of the 2022 elections with a military coup. If there is any doubt about who supports Bolsonaro, suffice it to say that the first phone call he received when he pulled slightly ahead in the first round of elections Oct. 4, came from Israeli war criminal Bibi Netanyahu.
Speaking as an American presidential candidate, the re-election of President Lula da Silva is the necessary outcome for the future peaceful development of the United States and the Americas. President Lula da Silva was one of the founding members of the Brazil, Russia, India, China partnership (later BRICS) during his earlier presidency in 2006 and 2009, so it is clear that he is dedicated to the principle that nations with very different histories can collaborate for the mutual benefit of mankind, without sacrificing their sovereignty. Brazil, under the leadership of Lula da Silva would be a natural partner of a United States in seeking to resolve conflicts and work together toward projects of mutual benefit for the human race.
A Bolsonaro victory would likely undermine not only the important potential United States–Brazil partnership for true economic cooperation in the interests of our respective populations (as opposed to enriching the Trump family and his associates), but also undermine the development of Ibero-America as a whole. As indicated by Netanyahu’s enthusiasm for him, a Bolsonaro regime in Brazil bodes ill for mankind.
I stand with the young people of Brazil who have been taking to the streets in the hundreds of thousands in support of their national independence and the presidency of Lula da Silva.
My mentor, the late American statesman and former U.S. presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche, was made an honorary citizen of São Paulo, Brazil, in 2002 in a historic visit to that country. I am certain that he would agree with my position on this important matter.
It was never the intention of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, or John Quincy Adams that the United States would become a global hegemon. Our mission as a republic is to demonstrate through the goodness of our deeds, and the happiness and prosperity of our people, the wisdom of a government founded on the principle of “the consent of the governed.” How are we doing in that regard?
