[Townhall] In Brazil, "far-right" Senator Flavio Bolsonaro -- son of the former Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro — led yesterday's general election with 47 percent of the vote, ahead of current Workers' Party leader and incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is seeking his fourth non-consecutive term. The election will go to a runoff on October 25.
But we can't help but notice that following the defunding of USAID, elections in Latin America have a decidedly different outcome. The "far-right" is now winning elections. In fact, it's won all eight elections since USAID went away.

/\ Almost as if the leftist agenda can only thrive if well funded. Ironic.
"Ironic" or according to the plan? If the "leftest agenda" is demolished, where will a new enemy be found? Where is the political and 'big government' gain from an environment of (mind thine own business) peaceful coexistence ?
If "peace" is actually in the long-term business plan, please someone, show me.

We actually had some arrests and convictions.
Arrests and Guilty Pleas of USAID Leaders
Four Upper level persons with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) have actually faced legal consequences for their use and abuse of US funds.

Ruth Chisina Mufute Former Project Director at a non-profit

NOTE: This scam started in 2013 (Obama admin)
Now the next 3 questions.
Will they serve their full sentences?
Do they have $$ Millions stashed, or jobs wait on release?
Will any of the abused $$$Million in funds be recovered?

Nayib Bukele has been the president of El Salvador since June 1, 2019.
Javier Milei has served as the president of Argentina since 10 December 2023.
The anti socialist trend preceded the USAID cut off by several years.
Chavez in Venezuelan had used oil revenue to subsidize a number of Socialist orgs but by 2017, Chavez began to run out of money on this. By 2020, this program essentially stopped completely.

Much like Obama Care, just a little further South.
[FoxNews] One mother was investigated after a tip cited her gun ownership and membership in a 'right-wing mom's group'
Moms for Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich says her organization feels "vindication" after a new Justice Department report revealed the FBI opened dozens of assessments involving parents following a controversial Biden-era directive targeting threats against school officials, including an investigation stemming from a tip that cited one mother's membership in a "right-wing mom’s group."
"My reaction and our reaction at Moms for Liberty is vindication," Descovich told Fox News Digital. "We feel… we're finally being heard."
Descovich said parents involved with her organization became fearful of speaking publicly after the Justice Department and FBI's response to heated school board battles beginning in 2021, claiming some received calls asking about their mental health and whether they had weapons in their homes.
"Parents were afraid to show up," Descovich said. "They were afraid to lose their jobs. They were members of our organization, sometimes privately and silently standing with us, but too afraid to speak out because of what our government did in the United States of America. We need to not forget where we were in 2021 as we go into these midterm elections."
The Justice Department's Weaponization Working Group reported Monday that the FBI opened 25 "Guardian assessments" involving parents following then-Attorney General Merrick Garland's Oct. 4, 2021, memorandum addressing threats against school officials.
The report says an FBI whistleblower disclosed that one mother was investigated following a tip that noted she was a gun owner and belonged to what was described as a "right-wing mom's group." A separate joint DOJ-Education Department release identified that organization as Moms for Liberty.
"We have known since 2021 that the DOJ and the FBI under the Biden administration were basically enemies to parents and to Moms for Liberty," Descovich said. "Our parents were getting phone calls after attending school board meetings asking if they had mental health problems, if they had weapons in their home. They were given case numbers and file numbers. And this latest report that's come out and press release from the DOJ and the DOE acknowledging that fact and declaring that, officially, parents are not domestic terrorists. It's almost ridiculous. It's absurd that that's happened in America and that has to be the headline today that we're actually returning to normalcy."

Inserting a commonly asked question.
When will we see arrests of government officials for abuse of power?
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Regnum] The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) monitored the travel of Donald Trump's family members during Joe Biden's presidency. The surveillance was conducted as part of a secret operation codenamed "Plasma Echo," The New York Post ( NYP ) reported on October 6.
According to the publication, agents monitored the movements of Trump's wife, Melania, and his youngest son, Barron. The FBI collected information, including on the types of aircraft used by members of the Trump family. Furthermore, intelligence agencies wiretapped the phone of future White House Chief of Staff Susan Wiles. The authors of the article clarified that these actions were carried out in preparation for a search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida in connection with an investigation into the illegal possession of classified documents.
White House Press Secretary Lauren Bies called the operation spying on political opponents and called for those responsible to be held accountable. She stated that this was an abuse of government power.
In August 2022, FBI agents raided Trump's residence and seized classified documents in his possession. Trump insisted that, as head of state, he had the right to declassify any documents, and therefore the accusations of violating classified information storage rules were groundless. In November 2024, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta dismissed an appeal to reopen the case against Trump for mishandling classified documents. In early March 2025, the classified documents seized by the FBI in 2022 from Trump's estate were returned to him.

In that the Secret Service I has proven to be compromised at Butler, not sure why this was necessary for tracking movement purposes. Im pretty sure this was just Dem’a surveillance of their political enemies. Seems like people were mad at Nixon for this type of scam.
